“What? What about the radius?”
Meanwhile, Elliot was a long way off and almost reached the door.
I haven’t even brought it up yet, are you going to go already? Panicked, I stepped forward.
“You’re not leaving, are you?”
“Saintess, Please stay there-“
Then, knock, knock.
After two formal knocks, the door opened.
“Ugh.”
Elliott, who was hit on the back by the open door, groaned briefly.
Ian stepped through the door and cast a cold gaze at Elliot.
“You.”
“Commander.”
Elliott hurriedly lowered his head. Elliot was on the receiving end of Ian’s disapproving gaze.
“Why are you here?”
“Captain, that’s because…”
“I called you.”
The look that Ian gave Elliott was cold. I came forward quickly for the poor boy.
“Why you are here?”
Ian looked back at me this time. His displeased gaze scanned the tea table behind me.
“It seems like you have a more comfortable situation than I do right now. While your husband is toiling away at extra hours of work, my wife is taking some time for herself to relax with a cup of tea.”
What do people say who have been away from work for a long time?
I couldn’t believe how ridiculous the argument got to be. Ian has never been mean to me, regardless of what I play or the food I eat.
Why are you doing this today in front of Elliot? I muffled my voice and whispered.
“Why are you acting so strangely all of a sudden? If you have a problem with me, let’s talk later. He’s listening now.”
“Can he just listen to it?”
“No! We are a harmonious newlywed couple.You haven’t forgotten, have you? Right, honey?”
When I said, ‘Right, honey?’, I spoke as loudly as I could. Let Elliot hear it.
I did not forget to place her hand on Ian’s arm in a charming way. He might find out that our relationship was, in fact, full of discord and mistrust.
Ian looked down at my arm, which I had wrapped around his hand, and whispered.
“You cheeky.”
“Thank you. We need to develop further.”
Ian chuckled when I spoke brazenly. I quickly spoke up again before he could say anything.
“It was not just a tea time. I asked him to come because I have some business to do.”
“Please tell me, saintess.”
Elliot nodded nervously. Ian looked at me in a bewildered manner as well
I wasted no time in getting to the crux of the matter.
“After two weeks, Dame Joan, who is in charge of my escort, is going on vacation for a while.”
When I found out by chance that Dame Joan’s mother was in critical condition, I made it mandatory for her to take time off work.
Dame Joan’s mother met me during the Holy Magic Stone incident the other day. Her mother said she was at a loss for her life and death, but I couldn’t keep Dame Joan by my side.
“Because of this, there is a vacancy in my escort, and I want you to fill that position?”
“… Pardon?”
“Irene.”
Both men spoke at the same time.
Ian said to me growlingly, furrowing his brows.
“Why did you decide that so quickly? Your temporary escort has already been organized.”
“Thank you. Please let him join them there.”
“Uh, why?”
Elliot asked, looking confused.
“Irene. Dame Joan already possesses a level of expertise that makes her interested about the prospect of becoming a sword master. Your temporary escort includes at least some senior knights who are able to take her place.”
Ian spoke in a firm voice.
“Your escort is not a playground for a child who hasn’t gotten an apprenticeship ticket yet.”
Even though Elliott was called names, it didn’t seem to hurt his pride. Instead, he gave a nod as if it were right.
I let out a short sigh.
‘As expected, it’s not easily accepted.’
I was determined to a certain extent.
That will have to do. I made the decision to move forward with plan B. I had hoped to avoid using this card if at all possible, but the intransigence of these other individuals made it impossible for me to avoid doing so.
“That’s great. I’ll tell the truth. I could see your future.”
“Pardon?”
“…….”
The pupils in Elliott’s eyes grew quite large. Ian remained still and focused his gaze on me.
I really didn’t want to take out the foresight card. However, since I picked it out, I was going to use it splendidly.
“Listen carefully. In less than a month.”
When I spoke with a smug voice, Elliott’s face scrunched up as if he were nervous without realising it.
“A noble person will come to you from the west.”
“……What?”
“What does that mean?”
Once more, the two men were heard speaking at the same time.
I ignored both men and went on.
“She is a very cute, lovely, and lively person.”
“What….?”
“She is a nobleman who will iron out all the creases in your life.”
Yes, of course.
I nodded as I remembered Selina. Selina and Elliot were simply a match made in heaven. They fit together like pieces of a puzzle and lend a hand to one another.
Elliot looked very confused.
“Saintess, I have no idea what you’re talking about…”
“Believe me.”
“What?”
“If you don’t know what I mean, you should just believe it.”
Ian did two dry claps of his hands.
“You looked like a pretty cult leader.”
What is he saying now. Still, there’s nothing he can’t say to his wife, who is a saintess.
After glancing at Ian, I went back to the main topic.
“And in the future I saw, you were serving as my escort. You need to serve as my escort, just like in the vision I had of the future,e in order for the possibility of meeting nobles to become a reality. “
I know. What I’m saying makes no sense at all.
That’s why I deliberately put on a more solemn expression. Like a saintess who heard the voice of the real God.
Even so, I had to make Elliott my escort. The reason was simple.
Perhaps within a month, the heroine will come to the capital city, and I will find a way to get her.
Since she hasn’t turned into a saintess yet, I was considering hiring her for a short-term job as my lady-in-waiting. Then Selina will almost always be with me.
And that would be the same for Elliott, who became my escort knight.
‘What if a young man and woman are naturally matched, and they spend such a long time in the same space?’
It’s only a matter of time until they look at each other.
The romance that develops between the two characters will be reimagined in a way that departs in some way from the original work. As someone who enjoyed the novel, I found it disappointing. But I couldn’t help it.
As long as the clash between Ian and Rashid was much longer than the original, the romantic relationship between the male and female protagonists had to be made an attribute.
‘I’m sorry for pushing you, Elliot.’
I bit my tongue to keep from saying the things to him that I couldn’t say to Elliot.
‘But I really need your strength of love.’
What is the power of love?
I had no idea that I would be able to think of lines like these for children’s characters who undergo transformations similar to those in stories about magic girls.
However, the love between the two main characters had a really special power. The power that is unquestionably essential to the execution of my plan.
“I’m sorry, saintess. I still don’t understand… Is that noble lady really that important? I have no idea who she is, but I don’t think I’m going to need very much—”
“Oh, my. What do you mean you don’t know!”
I was shocked and blamed Elliot.
The male lead denies the female lead. He doesn’t even know if he is destined to become that nobleman’s footwiper from now on!
“Why would God Elune have shown me such foresight? Necessarily. It must have been shown because it is a future that needs to be made into reality.”
It was as if someone had driven a wedge into the middle of the conversation, but this time I turned to look at Ian.
“So Sir Ian, will you agree to this appointment?”
“I object.”
The tone of Ian’s voice was unruffled. Without providing any further explanation beyond yes or no.
Do you mean that I still have to blow out the candles after everything has been inserted? My eyes widened in shock as I squinted at Ian.
“Didn’t you hear me, Ian? If he wants to meet a noblewoman, he must–“
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a noble person.”
Ian wrinkled his eyebrows badly.
“Those who lack skill cannot be your escort.”
“…….”
“I have no intention of compromising on this point. Even if you ask for it yourself.”
Ian’s voice was serious, with no hint of joke.
Hearing him talk with such seriousness about wanting to protect me in some way… It was a strange sensation that I had.
‘If I, as a contract partner, mess up, it’s going to be a real pain in the neck.’
I heaved a sigh and then asked.
“What can I do to have him serve as my escort?”
“Hmm.”
Ian shrugged slowly.
“If he get an apprenticeship ticket in a week, I’ll think about it.”
“What?”
“I have to say, he must still be a newbie, but if he has that much passion, I think I can give him a chance.”
I opened my mouth in amazement.
I can’t believe he should pass the evaluation test within a week. Given that Elliott had only recently joined the Holy Knights, this was an unreasonable demand to make of him.
How can I break that guy’s stubbornness? I heard Elliot’s voice as I was thinking.
“I’ll do it.”
“…What?”
This time, I turned to look at Elliot again. What was that boy just said?
“I’ll get my rank as an ordinary knight within a week, saintess.”
“Hold on just a second.”
I hurriedly opened my mouth.
“You don’t have to overdo it. I’ll try to persuade Sir Ian, I will try to convince him, so calm down.”
“No, saintess.”
Elliot shook his head with a resolute look.
“The first assignment given by the Godfather. I will carry it out no matter what.”
“…… Don’t call me Godfather. It’s cringe to hear.”
Ian furrowed his brow in displeasure.

“Argh!”
When the loud carriage rattling started, the girl screamed.
It looked as though the wheels of the carriage had gone down into the ditch quite deeply. The coachman, who was struggling to lift the wheel a few times, scratched his head in frustration.
“Oh, I’m sorry about this.”
The coachman said this to the girl.
“I was worried that the carriage was so old, but I think it’s over now. I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to walk from here.”
“What? Here? All of a sudden…? There’s still a long way to go until we get there.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it because the carriage is inoperative. I can’t even carry you on my back.”
“Then, I hope you have a safe trip the rest of the way. Just keep going straight in this direction!”
“Hey!”
The coachman got on the horse with a whimpering sound and left the road first. The girl yelled out quickly.
“No, hey there. How can you leave a customer on the street. Excuse me!”
She yelled loudly, but the coachman and horse just moved away.
The situation is that there is only one day’s distance left to the capital. The girl stared at the distant sky in dismay. It was a carriage that was paid for for by putting it all together, but it was driven by a fraudster.
“Why does my life have to be like this…”
Sliding on the ground, the girl lamented. Her golden hair, resembling a lemon, fluttered in the breeze.
