Became a Villain in Romance Fantasy

31- Sanctuary Attack (1)

“…Well.”

I felt uncomfortable with my reflection in the mirror.

I saw myself wearing the pure white uniform worn by Holy Knights, not the clothes I usually wear.

The uniform itself had a certain physique, so it wasn’t to the extent that it didn’t suit her.

However, I felt that the sharp eyes were rejecting the white uniform.

‘I wonder if it’s better to clean things up.’

He brushed back his hair, which he usually tidied up. Even the collars were set at an angle, as they usually do in the military.

It’s a little annoying, but it was when I was tightening my necktie, which gave the overall finishing touch.

Ttogak-.

Ttogak-.

I heard the sound of shoes that were more regular and clear than the others. This sound was clearly the sound of Lucia’s shoes.

I heard two knocks, and Lucia opened the door and came in.

“Lafla! …Uh…”

“Do you have something to say?”

She

She was the one who showed a confident appearance even when she entered.

But when my face met, he suddenly stopped and looked up at me intently.

“What is it?”

“Well, it looks good…”

“Does this look good in your eyes?”

“Then you think so.”

She let out a sigh as she watched Lucia turn her head around with her calm expression.

“So what happened?”

“The Sanctuary has opened. They say they’re leaving now. Prepare yourself before it’s too late.”

I couldn’t understand why he had a strong accent and pointed his finger when he said ‘you’.

“Okay.”

“Just be late!”

Today too, Lucia was constantly tickling.

It’s been a week since I came to the Holy Land to capture the Sanctuary.

I wanted to go back right away, but it was a dungeon with generous rewards. The problem is that it takes a little bit of time…

-You’re following that b*tch?

On second thought, it didn’t seem like such a big deal.

It didn’t seem too bad to go back slowly.

I could see Alice’s eyes trembling with fear as she was staying with Cecil, but it wasn’t a very good choice to bring her and leave her alone in the Holy Kingdom.

‘Actually, I left halfway there to stop Cecil…’

Cheer up, Alice. You should be able to stop Cecil.

‘The remaining problems.’

The attack on the sanctuary was an episode with very few descriptions even in the original story. So far, I’ve been able to cover it to some extent with the knowledge I knew, but this time I didn’t know what would happen.

‘Well… It will work somehow.’

Clearing was possible with just the 7th circle angelica and the saintess. If that’s the case, it’s definitely not a hardship.

No matter how strong an enemy was, there was no way an enemy stronger than the Dragon Lord would emerge.

Then it shouldn’t be too difficult.

I pulled out the sword I was given with the uniform.

Seureung-.

The blade made of mithril softly reflected the light.

It was a sword made so that even those who could not use divine power could fight against demons.

As the mana flowed in, the unknown letters took on a faint golden color.

I swung my sword several times. Boooung, the sword swung with the sound of cutting through the wind.

‘It’s okay…But this isn’t it.’

Among the off-the-shelf products, the best quality was right. Most knights will boast of a price that can be wielded once in a lifetime.

But that wasn’t enough. In the upcoming battle, I needed a sword that could withstand my attacks.

‘I wonder if there’s anything useful in the sanctuary.’

Since neither Angelica nor Lucia wielded a sword, there was no talk of a sword in Sanctuary.

Still, there were descriptions of all kinds of treasures overflowing. I thought of walking on it.

Clap.

I inserted the sword and arranged the dressing of my wrist once again.

After checking my clothes for the last time, I moved towards the meeting place.

“The two of us will go from here.”

“Yes!”

When I arrived at the entrance of the sanctuary, there was a barrier that was several times denser than Lucia’s usual.

As if her appearance when she was out was all a lie, Lucia kindly saw off the soldiers who came out as an escort.

The soldiers also showed a respectful attitude, as if they were actually dealing with a supreme saint.

“What is your true self?”

“What do you mean?”

“The way you look to me and the way you look as a saint. I asked what the real you are.”

“…This kind of look is visible only to you.”

I could see him muttering an answer to my question, but I couldn’t hear him clearly.

It was because Lucia, who was walking towards the barrier, hit her head. A thump, a dull sound rang out.

“Evil!”

Lucia sat down, cupping her forehead with her hands.

“Are you okay?”

She removed Lucia’s hand while keeping her at eye level. The red swelling looked painful even to me.

“Everyone, if it’s like you, I’ll be fine!”

“You look fine. What is this barrier?”

There was no story that the saintess suffered from the beginning.

Lucia did not show a separate reaction after seeing this barrier.

In that case, Lucia probably knows how to solve this barrier.

‘But you hit me in the head? Foolish saint…’

“I was distracted thinking about something else.”

Lucia made a ‘hum-hum’ sound as if she was embarrassed.

Then he held out his hand to me.

“Hand.”

“A hand?”

As if asking a puppy for her hand, she turned her right hand over and pushed me.

“Can’t you hear me?”

“What are we going to do?”

I wasn’t treating people like dogs, and it seemed like an open disregard for me.

“A hand, a hand!”

As I looked at her for a moment with her displeased expression, I felt something was wrong with her. Lucia gave her explanation.

“To pass through the barrier, two people must enter at the same time. With parts of the body in contact.”

“So you’re going to hold hands?”

“It can’t be helped!”

Tulseok, I put my hand on Lucia’s pure white hand.

It was small and soft. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve held a woman’s hand so openly.

“…Go in.”

Lucia urged me on with her head turned.

After passing through the barrier, an unpleasant feeling ran through her entire body.

‘What is it?’

I could feel it moving through her veins, but not the mana and my blood.

Frigid.

While trying to figure out the cause of the discomfort, this time she felt a tickle in her hand.

As she turned her head down, I saw her Lucia’s hand trying to interlace hers in mine.

“Now what?”

“Eh?”

“Look at your hands.”

“Ah…”

She must have done it without realizing it, her face turned red in an instant.

Then, in an instant, she took a step back to get away from me.

This was the stairs leading to the basement.

“Kyaaak!”

“Ha…”

**

It was a cold winter day.

I don’t remember why.

Is it difficult to learn divine power?

Did you suffer from being discriminated against because you were an orphan?

She recklessly ran out that day because she didn’t want to be in the convent.

‘It’s cold…’

Aside from learning divine power at the convent, what could a child with nothing do?

It was all about hiding in a corner and shivering in the cold.

“Haa…”

When I put my hands together and blew on her, white smoke rose.

Why are they happy? Why should I be unhappy?

At the same time, anger toward people living ordinary lives and disgust toward oneself came rushing in.

‘Are you like me, a saintess candidate?’

There was no way it could be. He was not a perfect human being who could bless the happiness of others or accept his own fate.

I thought it would be better to die like this.

At that time, someone’s voice was heard.

“It’s cold here.”

It was the first boy I saw. They are about the same age as me or slightly younger. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, it was clear that he was a young boy from a high-ranking family.

The boy took off her overcoat and put it on me. It was warm.

It wasn’t just a matter of temperature.

The pure consideration of others that I feel for the first time in my life.

“Who are you? Go on your way.”

It was a slightly sharp tone. After losing all of her family, she had no choice because she was imprisoned in a convent under the pretext of being a candidate for sainthood.

“Ah. I am Laplace de Crown, the eldest son of the Crown Duke.”

When I went back with him, the attitude of the guys at the convent changed.

Even though the blatant bullying like before was gone, that was good enough.

He was a fool.

As the heir to a great family called dukes, he helped the weak. He made no distinction between slaves and prisoners who were treated dirty.

While the boy’s family stayed under the pretext of inspection, the days following him were the brightest days of his life.

-Today is the last day.

I will definitely go see you again.

– Do you think you will be able to meet the heir of the duchy?

Isn’t the saintess higher in status than the duke of the empire?

I worked hard. She looked forward to meeting him again.

The boy who was a little cool became the hero of the empire before he knew it.

Every time I heard of his heroic story, my expectations grew.

But.

That way, he never dreamed of having the worst reunion ever.
