“…Fufufu, don’t be careless, okay? Prince Harold, everyone.”
Christia, with a grin, cast a skill with an unknown effect on me… on me, Yuri, and Liliana.
This skill is… could it be!
“Lady Saint!”
“Now, Prince Wilfred, with this, the match is decided. All that’s left is to simply trample you.”
Christia placed her hand on her chest and bowed gracefully.
Even during that time, Carla didn’t stop her attacks, and I was reaching my limit.
“Ah, Christia… as I thought, you shine brighter by my side than by that man’s.”
Wilfred approached Christia with a rapturous expression… but.
“Fufufu, thank you very much. However, we are in the middle of a battle. Rather than worrying about me, please eliminate everyone else first.”
“Ahem… y-yes, that’s right.”
Wilfred, clearly rejected with a smile, coughed to cover his embarrassment and drew the Heroic Greatsword Caladbolg from its sheath, turning to face not Liliana and the others… but me.
“After all, it’s faster to deal with you first, along with Carla. My dear brother Harold, obediently become rust for my sword.”
“Aren’t you an idiot? What happened to the plan to make it look like an accident in the first place?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it as an accident without any problems. However… an accident where you are killed by the treacherous blade of a comrade!”
Wilfred pointed the tip of his sword and charged at me.
He glanced at Yuri for a moment, so I guess when he says ‘treacherous blade of a comrade,’ he means framing Yuri as the culprit.
After all, Yuri’s family, the Stone Margrave House, are descendants of the Norse People who once ruled Brint Island.
If it’s an act of revenge from years of resentment, no one would doubt it. That’s exactly what he would think.
But.
“!”
“It’s not going to go that smoothly, is it?”
I not only blocked Wilfred’s sword, but I also used my shield to knock him away with all my might.
Me, the one with the weakest physical attack power in EnHaza.
“W-why! I’ve become even stronger than I was a year ago! Even if Harold has grown as well, there’s no way he should have the strength to knock me away!”
“Well, yeah. The usual me couldn’t do something like this. But… this isn’t just my power.”
Saying that, I turned around and looked at Christia.
Realizing it, Carla had already stopped attacking.
“Well… Lady Saint’s abilities are amazing. Even someone like me can have their abilities boosted this much.”
“Fufufu, thank you.”
Christia looked at me and smiled.
Her eyes, which had lost their light until just now, regained their brilliance.
“W-what does this mean! Didn’t Christia seal Harold’s abilities and the others’!”
“Heavens, no. What I gave Prince Harold and the two of them was the War God’s Blessing. Right now, everyone has three times their usual strength, you know?”
Christia deliberately feigned ignorance as she explained to Wilfred, who was raising his voice in confusion.
“T-that’s not what I’m talking about! You were following my orders with Lalanoa’s ability, weren’t you…!”
“My! Are you suggesting that I, a Saint, would do something so despicable! …This is something that the Barthian Holy Kingdom cannot overlook once this Practical Exam is over.”
“!” A-I, no…”
Christia showed a surprised expression, then spoke in a chilling voice.
Wilfred, realizing the gravity of the situation, stammered involuntarily.
By the way, as soon as I knew Wilfred’s team composition, it was obvious that Lalanoa would try to brainwash Christia and the others with Fairies’ Mischief.
That’s why I whispered to Christia in advance.
To activate the Aegis Shield before joining Wilfred’s team.
Her unique skill, Aegis Shield, not only reduces damage from physical and magical attacks, but also nullifies all status ailments.
Moreover, unlike Lalanoa’s Fairies’ Mischief, once this skill is activated, its effect is permanent until the end of the battle. It can also be used in conjunction with other skills, so it’s a bit of a cheat.
So, Christia and Carla were sane from the beginning.
“So… what do you intend to do about this mess? You not only tried to manipulate me, but you also tried to eliminate Prince Harold, your own brother and the Third Prince. Don’t think that your life is enough to atone for this.”
“Ugh…”
Wilfred groaned at Christia’s commanding voice.
“W-wait a minute! It was me who tried to brainwash you, and Lord Wilfred had nothing to do with it…”
“I see. So, Sherwood Kingdom is turning against the Holy Kingdom… is that correct?”
“A… u, ugh…”
The Barthian Holy Kingdom has followers all over the world. Sherwood Kingdom, a small country with only the Forest of Light as its territory, can’t possibly compete.
It seems she finally realized her foolish actions when her homeland was threatened with destruction.
But, even though she’s also a victim of Wilfred, I won’t forgive her.
I will never forgive this woman who did such a despicable thing as to brainwash my Precious Thing.
“In any case, Wilfred tried to take my life, and he used Lalanoa Erin there to try to brainwash Lady Saint Christia. Don’t think you can get away with this.”
“………………….”
“W-what should we do, Lord Wilfred…!”
Lalanoa clung to Wilfred, who was silently looking down.
We were giving the two of them a cold stare.
Then.
“…No problem.”
“L-Lord Wilfred…?”
“No problem. If we eliminate everyone here, no one will know the truth.”
Wilfred raised his face and smirked.
