Chapter 291 – Haste

Count Harold thought things were tightly twisted.
It was a welcome party prepared for Princess Cristina… But in the end, the banquet was held without the main character.
As he talked with Baron Dollyn, he learned that the king had been engaged in marriage talks long before he sent Flora away.
I couldn’t help but resent the magic swordsman for not saying a word to me about such an important story.
However, the words that came out of Dalton’s mouth completely changed his thoughts.
“Super, Transcendental…”
Superhumans who represent the measure of national power.
Among them, the Archmage or Grand Master of the 8th Circle stood at the apex.
However, a transcendental person refers to an existence beyond that.
The Kingdom of Baruras had a higher nose than the neighboring kingdoms for the sole reason that it had the Perkuna Magic Tower and the Archmage.
But you are transcendent.
It is like an urban legend.
There are many rumors that it might be in the Empire, but no one has ever seen it in person… It’s such an existence.
Count Harold could now understand why they were so low-key to the magic swordsman.
“All right, Sir Dalton. Can you tell me such an important fact?”
“The wedding talk with Princess Cristina has also been completed. It’s okay to be known soon before others do useless things. And… His Majesty has allowed it. Rumors are probably circulating in the capital city as well.”
Baron Dolly, who was listening next to him, flinched when he heard Dalton’s story.
Cold sweat was running down his face.
“Baron Dolly, are you feeling unwell?”
Earl Harold asked worriedly as Baron Dollyn’s already bluish complexion worsened.
“Oh, no.”
“If you feel unwell, there is no need to force yourself to attend the banquet. You can go in and rest.”
“Th-then, excuse me. Gee, I’m feeling sore from rolling down the stairs…”
Turning Baron limped off his leg and hurriedly disappeared.
‘Why was Baron Dolly beaten by him?’
From Count Harold’s point of view, he was summoned separately to the Transcendentalist and it seems that something happened, but since the person concerned did not talk about it, of course he could not know.
“Sir Dalton. Then why are the Paladins of the Church of Terra…”
“I don’t know about that either. It wasn’t there when I came before…”
Dalton didn’t seem to know anything about the Holy Knights of Thera Church yet.
They were a tribe that only praised Goddess Terra. It was hard to see that the fanatical paladins acted that way simply because he was a transcendent.
‘Could it be… Did he commit himself to the church?’
Earl Harold heard such a question for a while… But then he thought that marrying the princess wouldn’t make sense again.

Flora is greeted by the news that Princess Cristina has arrived, and she is embarrassed to learn that the princess is visiting for her wedding.
Of course, she couldn’t tell Princess Cristina that she was also living with her to marry Unho.
When Flora found out about the situation, she couldn’t go out to say hello, even though she knew Count Harold was outside the mansion.
‘Let’s even live together… After expressing interest like that…’
“Ha…”
Flora sighed involuntarily.
She felt a bit betrayed and depressed by Unho.
Marriage to a princess
In this way, I could see that my position had floated.
‘How do I learn magic from Master?’
Flora has already fallen in love with the fun of forming a circle and learning magic one by one with the power of the elixir these days.
But maybe he has to leave this mansion.
While I was thinking about that, Charlotte came into her room trembling and told me the surprising news.
“Ah, lady, Un-ho broke the marriage with the princess!”
“Dig, dig?!”
“Yes! Because of that, Princess Cristina didn’t cry and scream! As expected! It’s clear that Unho-nim has a lady in his heart! Ahh..Princess, what are you doing because you are pitiful?”
That’s what Charlotte said, but she didn’t look at all worried about Princess Cristina.
She was just glad that her master would not be abandoned.
Hearing Charlotte’s words, Flora’s heart beat fast.
‘Is it because of me? Are you saying you like me that much? More than Princess Cristina?’
Flora was happy inside, but at the same time worried.
The breakup with Princess Christina was a serious problem.
If it was because of herself, she even more so.
Flora thought she should speak with her father, Earl Harold, about the matter.
However, in order to meet her father, she has to go out.
Flora sought her luck to get that permission.
“You want to go out? You don’t have to ask me for permission to do that.”
“Go, thank you.”
“I’m just grateful for this…”
Flora thought that Unho was a surprisingly caring person, unlike his bulky size.
That’s how she called Flora, and she, along with the escort knight Melissa, found Count Harold.
Count Harold welcomed Flora as if he had been waiting.
“What?! He refused to marry her princess?!”
“Yes…”
Count Harold could now understand why the face of the baron turned was a mess.
‘It’s broken.’
Baron Dollyne hid the fact that Princess Christina’s wedding was broken.
It seemed that the swarthy complexion at the banquet yesterday wasn’t simply because her body was in pain.
I did understand.
From what I’ve seen, it seems that the king secretly spread rumors about Princess Cristina’s companion in the capital.
In this situation, when the story of the broken marriage came out, it wouldn’t be strange if her throat was cut off.
“Or…Is it because of you?”
“That, that… I don’t know.”
Flora answered, blushing slightly.
From her daughter’s reaction, it seems to be true.
Count Harold couldn’t quite like that fact. It was because he was entangled with royalty, not nobles.
The Count was worried about how to solve this.
‘Wait…Do I need to worry?’
He is transcendent
Perkuna Magic Tower Master.
Archmage Verna, an existence beyond that.
If the rice is cooked and becomes rice, even the king won’t say much.
“Flora, did you sleep with him?”
“Yes? That, that’s not yet… My father told me not to give myself away…”
“Uhh…The situation has changed. He is a Transcendentalist. You must hold on to him no matter what.”
“You mean he’s a transcendental person?!”
“Yes, it seems like he also has feelings for you, so that’s great. Go to bed as soon as possible. If you’re pregnant, even better.”
“You’re not even married, you mean, you’re pregnant?!”
Flora asked in surprise.
“Yes, marriage is not important right now. It is important to capture his heart first.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
“But why is Princess Cristina still there?”
It can be said that Princess Cristina was so-called simple.
She was abandoned by the man she was to marry, a considerable disgrace.
This kind of thing doesn’t happen unless there is a considerable difference in status.
And she was quite lethal for a woman.
Of course, a good marriage is prevented.
Being a princess, it shouldn’t be the worst, but she couldn’t deny that the merchandise was blemished.
“Princess… It doesn’t seem like she gave up.”
“Hmm… It’s regret… Then… The story of the broken marriage with the princess must be kept secret. If that fact is revealed, other nobles will come running like bees.”
“Yes…”
“By any chance, do you know anything about the relationship between him and Thera Church?”
“That…For me too…It happened so suddenly. At some point, Paladins started guarding the mansion. But…”
“But?”
“I heard the Paladins call him Saint.”
“Three, Saint?!”
Except for the founder of Thera religion, no one was called that title.
“Was he a member of the Thera religion?”
“That’s…Probably not.”
Flora stayed in the mansion for several days.
Since Unho was a Terra cultist, there was not a single goddess statue inside the mansion, and he had never seen him praying to Goddess Terra even while eating.
Even before this happened, he hadn’t said a word about Goddess Terra.
“Huh…That’s right…”
The more Count Harold knew about him, the more complicated his mind was.

Dark space.
“Unho, why are you procrastinating so much?”
Terra was looking at me pitifully.
I quickly recognized this situation.
It was a dream.
It’s been quite a long time since I didn’t have a dream.
It was probably from awakening.
It was a desolate space for a dream.
That kind of recognition in an instant…
The dark space turned into an open meadow.
Did I?
It seems like that.
But what terra?
I wouldn’t have wanted to see it so much that I could see it in my dreams…
“Did you enter my dream?”
“You talk like a human. Should I call it a dream?
It seems that I contacted her through the pattern she engraved on the back of my hand.
“So?”
“So what’s that? I took a break and looked at you and found that you were still not moving. What the hell are you doing?”
To put it simply, it’s a story that I’m still crushing my ass in the mansion, so I’ve come to urge you.
To dream of coming in for that…
It is a situation where you may be annoyed by the persistent pressure.
I had good feelings for Terra.
She had trouble with her paladins coming because of her… But in the end, she got unpaid good workers, so she was a dog’s gain.
More than anything she had Judith.
It was thanks to her that I got her Ignis.
That’s why I was urging you to this extent. I was able to look at you cutely.
