In “Engage Hazard,” Saint Christia is quite a special heroine.
She is one of the most powerful characters among all the heroines, one of the few with high-level Healing Skills, and the developers reinforced her so much that she had a limited-time event prepared for her a whopping four times during the six months from “EnHaza’s” release to the end of its service.
Honestly, she was quite favored, and I sent countless protest emails saying they should allocate more resources to Sandra, who only had one still image.
But well, she’s kind of the face of “EnHaza,” so it can’t be helped, I guess.
“Carla, didn’t you hear? These two are princes of the Dehauvalz Kingdom. Rudeness is not permitted.”
“…I apologize.”
Admonished by Christia, Carla apologized with a face like she had bitten into a bitter bug.
Ah… from Carla’s perspective, she probably can’t accept this from the bottom of her heart…
Probably, Carla was instructed by Christia to be rude to me and Wilfred.
You see, Christia’s character setting is that of a schemer and a black-hearted person. She often tries to test the protagonist in various ways, and sometimes even plots conspiracies that develop into major incidents.
All of this is absolutely necessary for her to survive within the Barthian Holy Kingdom… no, within the Saint Barthia Cathedral, her base, where intrigue swirls.
And Christia, driven into a corner by an incident caused by one of the executives of the Holy Kingdom in this Royal Capital, is saved by the protagonist and develops a ‘Romance State’ with him, which is her main Scenario.
So, there must be a reason why she’s provoking us like this.
What I can think of is that she’s trying to confirm what kind of people we are… whether we are as rumored. Or, she’s trying to see how we react in order to advance the conversation in a way that is advantageous to the Holy Kingdom.
In any case, as someone who doesn’t want to get involved with heroines, I don’t intend to do more than my role as a host, and I’d rather actively distance myself.
Besides, why is Christia even a member of the Delegation? Because of that, her attendant Carla is here too. It’s a huge nuisance.
“Lady Saint, please, your hand.”
“Ufufu, thank you.”
“You’re welcome…”
Accepting Carla’s apology, Wilfred takes Christia’s hand and helps her down from the carriage.
Since they’re both beautiful people, it looks quite fitting, but Marion’s jealous gaze is intense. As expected of the protagonist. He’s unintentionally starting to build a harem and a battlefield.
“By the way, what happened to His Holiness the Pope?”
“…I am truly sorry. His Holiness fell ill just before departure, and as his substitute, I and His Eminence Cardinal Salvatore have come.”
“Lorenzo Salvatore. Please remember me.”
In response to my question, Lorenzo, the Cardinal, finally emerged from the carriage. To put it simply, he’s a white-haired handsome man.
But more than that, I was mentally facepalming.
In fact, this Lorenzo is the mastermind in “EnHaza’s” Christia’s main Scenario, plotting to eliminate her in order to take control of the Holy Kingdom.
I mean, I can already feel an incident breaking out before the main story even starts. What should I do?
“Now then, I will guide you all to His Majesty the King.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Wilfred escorted Christia, and I followed behind with Lorenzo.
Cardis, this time, is only focused on supporting Wilfred, so he’s behind me.
And so.
“You have come a long way.”
“Thank you for your kind words. I am very pleased that this audience will lead to the further development of both the Dehauvalz Kingdom and the Barthian Holy Kingdom, and to the establishment of an unwavering and strong relationship.”
Lorenzo kneels before King Aival and delivers his address.
Behind him, I, Wilfred, and Christia are also standing by…
“Ufufu.”
…Why is Christia staring at me?
Please, just leave me alone.
“…Well then, make yourselves comfortable during your stay.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
The audience with King Aival ended without incident, and after guiding the Delegation to the rooms where they will be staying tonight, they have free time until the evening party.
Even so, we can’t leave the Royal Palace for even a step, and we have to deal with any problems that arise immediately, so I can’t relax.
“Lady Saint, I will guide you to your room.”
“Thank you. But… since we’re here, I would be happy if Prince Harold would escort me this time.”
Ehh… are you nominating me here?
