Kaizen was just stunned by the sight of the woman sitting in front of him.

"It's been a long time."

The beautiful silver hair that shines and the silver eyes bordered by long eyelashes are moist and wet and give off a mysterious shine. The pure white and light blue robe, which was allowed to be worn only by the highest-ranking saint, complemented the purity and beauty of the woman and brought out its charm to the fullest.

"Oh, is it really Meirin Ars...?"

When I couldn't believe the woman with a gentle smile, the woman laughed like a bell. When Kaizen last saw Meirin in the Kingdom of Granoa, she wasn't such a beautiful and mysterious woman. It was dirty, thin, rough hair and skin, and ugly like an old woman.

"Yes. It's definitely Meirin Ars you know. The Count Ars family's family has already been missing, so it's just Meirin now."

"I'll soon become my queen and Meirin Crocus."

Jude Crocus, a man with black hair and blue eyes sitting beside Meirin, strongly says it without hiding his grumpy appearance. Because of his strength like a fierce god on the battlefield, the crown prince of the Crocus Kingdom, who is also known as a black lion, opposed this interview until just before.

"Mr. Jude. Please don't get so angry."

Meirin appeases Jude like she's in trouble, but Jude doesn't stop staring at Kaizen.

"I can't be friendly with the man who tried to feed you to monsters. This guy is also this guy. Don't you have any pride to hold on to someone who even deported you?"

"Mr. Jude. The outside is peeled off."

I was amazed at Jude, who didn't want to do diplomacy, and Meirin knew it was useless even though she blamed it. Jude, who dotes on his fiancée, is merciless to those who harm Meirin. It doesn't matter whether it's dealing with the crown prince of the neighboring country or not.

Kaizen twitched his eyebrows with anger for a moment, but he squeezed his fist tightly and held it down. I remember what I'm here for. I was in a position where I had to go out badly now.

"I said something rude. Let's apologize. ...Once again, I wish you help with our country, Saint Meirin."

This place Kaizen visited was a great church in the neighboring Crocus Kingdom. Meirin is enrolled as the highest-ranking saint in this great church that enshrines the goddess Siris. With extraordinary holy magic, she instantly purified the Kingdom of Crocus where air and soil were contaminated by the miasma of the monster. For this achievement, the people worshipped the saint of the salvation country, and captured the heart of Crown Prince Jude and unofficially decided as Crown Princess. No, it's too modest to hit your heart. It's right to say that Jude, who fell in love with Meirin, forcibly enclosed Meirin and hit on her.

"Even so, what kind of help do you want from a sinner like me, the Crown Prince?"

Yes, Meirin asked, but she knew the answer. The Kingdom of Granoa is also contaminated by the miasma of monsters like the former Crocus Kingdom.

It's been two years since that conviction. In the past two years, the Kingdom of Granoa, which was filled with clean air, is covered with miasma, and on the contrary, the Kingdom of Crocus is avoiding miasma.

The saint of the Kingdom of Granoa, who was the former queen and the grandmother of Kaizen, passed away. Saints regularly purify the country, but in recent years they have not been able to purify because the former saint was asleep at an age. It became a miasma, and the monsters became active, and now they are fighting for an hour.

".....I wish for the purification of our country."

For Kaizen, Meirin is an unforgivable villain who oppressed her beloved wife and crown princess, Yumia. Even though it was for the sake of the country, it was humiliating to bow to this woman. But the pollution of the country is progressing so much that I can't say such a thing.

"I'm sure your crown princess was certified as a saint, wasn't she?" Why don't you purify your saint before you ask our saint for help?"

Jude said something very reasonable, putting a lot of effort into the word "Our country". Certainly, when Yumia entered the school, her holy power was confirmed and was acclaimed as a saint.

"It's Mr. Hidari. I am a saint recognized by the great church in this country. It makes sense that the saint recognized by the Great Church of the Kingdom of Granoa, which also enshrines the goddess Siris, purifies the country."

When Meirin was expelled in her clothes, it was the Great Church of the Kingdom of Crocus that accepted it without asking for anything in return. For a few days from the border, she continued to walk without drinking or eating, reaching out to Meirin, who collapsed in front of the church, and warmly welcomed and cared for Meirin's background as a poorly reputable daughter who was expelled from the neighboring country. Meirin was saved by the warmth and kindness of the great church. When Meirin found out that she had the power of a saint, she chose to do her best for the church without hesitation. I purified the Crocus Kingdom for the suffering people while being begged by the church.

"My wife just gave birth to a child. I can't force you to do it."

Yumia just gave birth to her first child, a boy a few months ago. The progress after childbirth is going well, but I wanted to take good care of it.

"Huh! That's why you want to impose dangerous work on my queen, that's a convenient story."

Jude stands up and hugs Meirin in her arms.

"I also have my queen more important than anything else. After all, it's a horrible country where one weak woman expells herself to the border where monsters and thieves frequently occur. I can't let an important princess go to such a place."

Kaizen was irritated by the way he said it like he was rubbing us. I was expelled in the first place because Meirin did something wrong. But I can't argue with that. If you deny Meirin as a sinner, it will be involved in the dignity of the Kingdom of Granoa who saved such a woman's life. You have to pretend not to know it and to ask the saint in the neighboring country to spare her life.

"Mr. Jude. Please don't say such a thing. I'm not going to refuse the church's wish for the saint."

Meirin received a request from the neighboring church.

"And there was an imperial decree to accept help from the king."

Meirin stroked Jude's shiny hair to condemn the child for his selfishness. Crown Prince Jude was ordered by his father, the king, to help the neighboring country. Jude will go to the neighboring country with Meirin as a guardian and escort. Jude, the crown prince, plays such a role in person, which shows how important Meirin is in the neighboring country.

"...I know. I don't want to relentlessly relent my relationship with the Kingdom of Granoa. It's just... If you simply take on the role of hi-high and saint, the Kingdom of Granoa may be disadvated that you work as a saint because you want to atone for your former sins, right? Even if you pay the miasma, you might think it's natural to work instead of being grateful."

Kaizen's heart throbbed. It's exactly because I was guessing what he was thinking.

"Aha, I knew it. The Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Granoa is very easy to understand."

Kaizen bit his back teeth to the ridiculous Jude.

Meirin was thinking about something, but she looks radiant whether she came up with something good or not.

"That's right. Then, how about this kind of taste?"
