I’m a Fake Saintess But the Gods Are Obsessed With Me

***

I looked intently at the vase on the table.

“This… Is it really okay for me to take it?”

There was a golden rose made of precious jewels in the vase.

Even Cass was amazed at its beauty, thinking it was an ancient treasure from the ‘Golden Kingdom’ era.

This was the treasure Kyle found at the hunting ground.

There was a pair and he handed one to me.

I couldn’t understand whathe was saying.

First, be willing to move without being bound by the framework. Second, like water flowing backwards, the power of the Emperor comes from the people of the Empire.

Third…

Kyle looked at me and stopped talking.

At that time, Sir Shane arrived, and other Imperial knights followed.

They checked to see if the Emperor and I were hurt, and I never heard what Kyle meant when he gave me the rose.

“Mother!”

I stopped reminiscing for a moment when I suddenly heard Melanie’s voice.

She was standing outside the door with a pale expression.

“We’re in trouble. Brother Nys and Brother Harris…!”

I got up from my seat.

***

Children always do different things.

Even though they’re followed by priests and priestesses, they’re accustomed to ostracizing those who keep them safe and putting all their effort into doing dangerous things.

So did my children.

The place we arrived at with Melanie was behind the annex.

Several priests were looking at the annex roof with surprised expressions.

“Saintess.”

There was a hole in the roof of the annex, and there was Nys, with his back stuck in the hole, also Harris, squatting next to him and crying.

And at the bottom, I saw a broken ladder.

“Even though that’s the longest ladder….”

I could hear a priestess talking to herself.

“Mother…!”

“

.. Mother!”

Nys and Harris, who noticed me, flinched and called out to me.

I frowned, asking the two.

“Why are you there? Nys, Harris.”

The two looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

It was Harris who spoke first.

“…That… That’s… because the baby bird fell away.”

And Harris pointed to a bird’s nest behind him.

There really was a bird just as Harris said.

And faintly visible blue baby birds.

“I’m sorry, Mother.”

Nys answered with a sullen expression.

I relaxed my expression and spoke to the children.

“Wait.”

Then I bent my knees and placed my hands on the floor.

Plant stems began to extend upward from the ground.

It was one use of the divine power I possessed.

It formed a ladder at an angle before I set my foot there.

“Saintess, I will save them.”

Although Daisy tried to come forward, I shook my head and went directly to the children.

Holding the stems tightly with my hands, I finally climbed up to the roof of the annex.

First, I pulled out Nys’ trapped body.

It would have been difficult for young Harris, but fortunately I gave him strength and he fell out quickly.

And then I saw a bird’s nest behind Harris.

They were baby birds that looked like they had just hatched from their eggs.

Four were there in total.

“

”

Kyuu would like it… after erasing such thoughts, I picked up one of them that looked particularly weak.

“Was it this child who fell?”

“…Yes.”

Indeed, its leg was broken.

I concentrated my divine power and breathed it into the bird.

It opened its beak and made a small clicking sound, and at some point, the bird’s broken leg was attached.

“Whoa…“

Exclamations from Harris and Nys were heard.

When I looked at the children one by one, they lowered their heads as if they had sinned.

I smiled and put the bird back in the nest and told the children.

“You guys did a good job trying to save the baby bird.”

The children looked up and looked up.

“But…”

Harris’ timid eyes twinkled.

I spoke with a vaguely stern expression.

“You should have asked adults for help. What if you come up there yourselves? Obviously, you were almost in big trouble.”

Even if I praise what is worth praising, I have to give warning.

“Even the ladder was broken into pieces, and Nys, you even got yourself stuck. If you guys are hurt…”

“Mom can heal us.”

I let out a small sigh at Nys’ words.

“Nys. The divine power given by the Gods isn’t only used when mischievous children are careless and get hurt. It’s necessary to become the strength of those who are sick and suffering. And…”

I looked into Nys’ eyes and said.

“Divine power isn’t always omnipotent.”

His eyes twinkled.

I may have been reminded of Blue Wing, which naturally received a healing not long ago.

Nys thought for a moment and nodded his head. Then he told me.

“I’m sorry. I won’t do anything dangerous in the future.”

“Me too.”

Harris added to Nys’ comments.

I smiled and stroked the two children’s heads, then held their hands so they could get down to the ground safely.

Harris seemed to have forgotten that it was almost dangerous, and looked at the plant ladder structure I had created for a while with curious eyes.

“That’s why I told you to tell the adults.”

Melanie, who was waiting, stiffened her expression and shouted at her brothers.

“Don’t do anything dangerous from now on!”

“Got it, Melanie.”

Nys grinned while stroking her head.

Soon after we came down, we saw the mother bird coming to the nest.

“I guess she was waiting for us to leave.”

I nodded at Nys’ words.

“Goodbye, baby birds.”

Harris waved his hand with an innocent face.

The mother bird seemed to respond, chirping at us.

I turned around and walked out of the annex with my three children.

***

The three children immediately thought of a new game and went to play, and I returned to the room alone.

My body was stiff and my shoulders were sore from climbing the plant ladder.

As I approached the bed, thinking I should get some rest, I heard a noise from the window.

Surprised, I looked at the window and tensed as it swung open.

However, when he appeared shortly afterwards, I put my hand on my chest and smiled.

“What is this. I thought you were a thief.”

“There’s someone who should never know I’m here.”

“Lord Shane?”

Kyle jumped over the window frame and gracefully entered my room.

“He’s harassing me with something I can handle on my own.”

“If Sir Shane dies first, it will be because of you. I heard you rejected his request to take vacation.”

“That’s because he used vacation as an excuse to reduce his authority… However.”

Kyle, standing in front of me, wiggled his eyebrows and reached out his hand to my cheek.

“Are you siding with that guy?”

I chuckled at the childish question.

“Not sure.”

“If it comes to this, I won’t be able to sit still.”

He stroked my cheek once and wrapped his other hand around my waist.

Our bodies came close as his deep red eyes came closer.

It felt like he had a cool yet dizzying scent.

I narrowed my eyes and smiled.

“It’s broad daylight now. And…”

my heart pounded.

“I have no strength in my body because I used my divine power for the children.”

Yet his lips came right in front of mine.

“You don’t have to have power, you just…”

The image of Kyle I saw in my dream was right before my eyes.

The sight of modern Kyle with a gaping shower gown and a dangerous aura.

And a low voice penetrated my ears.

“Just feel it. I will do it all.”

Soon, my strength was lost and my body collapsed onto the bed. My fingertips and toes tingled as I felt my back touch the soft bedding.

Kyle, lying on top of me, slowly unbuttoned the buttons one by one.

“But… There is an answer I didn’t hear last time.”

I asked Kyle who was looking at me.

“What answer?”

His buttons were undone and his firm, muscular chest began to be revealed.

“The golden rose. The last of His Imperial Majesty the late Emperor’s three wishes.“

Kyle’s lips twitched at my words.

“That one?”

Soon, Kyle whispered, burying his nose high behind my ear and kissing my shoulder.

“Why did he leave behind two golden roses that symbolize eternity, Ariel, I wonder.”

I unconsciously grabbed his strong shoulder due to his dizzying breath.

He raised his head and his red gaze was focused on me as if he was going to eat me.

“Time isn’t forever. So for all the time left.”

Kyle continued speaking softly.

“I will love you without regrets, as your man.”

Soon his sweet lips met mine.
