She’s a Saint Who Was Banished for Being a Late Bride, but She’s Being Spoiled to the Fullest by the

Chapter 20: Third Prince’s Stomach Ache

That day, the air in the great temple had turned to hell.

The chief priest, whose eyes were dark and stagnant, was surrounded by a large number of priests, mumbling something.

They were looking at Mary, who was tied to a pillar with ropes. Alex was standing in front of her, as if to protect her.

Igna and Oz were looking at each other helplessly.

The first to break the tense atmosphere was the chief priest.

“Execution, Mary Safka!”

Mary’s mouth stopped moving as she screamed.

Alex stood in front of the Chief Priest in a great hurry. However, his legs were trembling with fear for all to see.

“Wait, wait……!”

“Nevertheless, Alextard, this is a decision that must be made. As long as she claims to be a false saint, she must be judged.”

The Chief Priest was right.

Impersonating a saint is a mortal sin. Moreover, Mary had taken the trouble to bring servants from her parents’ home to pretend to be priests so that she could play the role of a saint in the square of the royal city. This is a heinous crime of a level that cannot be excused.

Igna and Alex, who had posed as knights to find Evelyn, also witnessed the scene, and Alex, was so shocked that he was speechless for a while.

Mary shouted to Alex, who looked up and remained frozen in embarrassment.

“No! Alex-sama!”

“Eh, no. You’re already eighteen years old and you’re crying, you know.”

The chief priest says spitting.

Mary was shaking with tears in her eyes.

“No, no…”

“No, no. Come on, let yourself die, girl. Go to hell and cry out to Evelyn-sama for forgiveness.

Maria trembled in front of the ruthless Chief Priest. The entire main pillar trembled.

“W-what, suddenly there was an earthquake……!”

The shaking shook the floor, and the priests groaned.

Oz gasped, realizing that she had been running from the Knights for nearly ten minutes. Although she didn’t have any magical powers, Mary seemed to be a very strong girl.

But things couldn’t go on like this. Oz stood between Mary and the Chief Priest.

“Chief Priest now is not the time to do this!”

Then, in an instant, the shaking stopped and Mary squealed with delight.

“To take a stand and protect me from the crazy old man! Oh, I get it. You really like me, don’t you! ?”

(Guh!)”

Oz was so humiliated that he wanted to yell at her, but somehow he managed to bite his lip and hold back.

“Is that so, Oz! I never said a word about that!”

“Oh, Alex-sama is jealous, isn’t he? I’m such a sinful woman to have my heart stolen by two princes!”

Bush! Bush! There were a number of sounds that could not have come from human lips.

Each time, blood dripped from Oz’s thin lips. Even the head priest flinched at the sight of Oz, who looked like he was about to kill someone.

Oz said in a clear voice as he bled.

“This woman can be executed at any time! But Lady Evelyn may still be crying alone under the cold weather.”

“…..tsu~ tsu!”

“That lovely Evelyn-sama, so young, so small, so dainty, so pretty, is still there. [Grandpa, come and get me soon!] She might be mumbling to herself and wiping away her tears.”

“Ouuu!!!”

I wondered if I was imagining things.

Gradually, tears began to form in the chief priest’s eyes. The priests around him also started crying like crazy, letting out what sounded like screams.

Eventually, the crying became a little quieter.

The chief priest, who seemed to have come to his senses with Oz’s persuasion, asked somewhat more calmly than before.

“By the way, if Evelyn-sama is found safe and sound, you don’t mind giving this woman and her stupid parents a bloodbath, do you?”

“Of course it’s fine. I’d rather you do that.”

“Okay.”

“Hey! What the hell is going on here?”

Mary, who seemed to have finally realized Oz’s true intentions, called out to him, but Oz ignored her and smiled at Alex, who was nearby.

“Alextard, you’re a wonderful person. I don’t know how you have been able to stay so close to this woman over the years. I think you have the most patience in the world.”

“Is that so? I’m embarrassed by the compliment.”

“I’m not complimenting you. Goodbye.”

Oz turned his back on Alex. Even the mild-mannered Oz wouldn’t know what to do if he had to talk to these people any longer.

Or, in any case, if Evelyn was who the priests said she was, she would try to protect her own family.

And Oz, who had never met her, was somehow certain that Evelyn would do the same.

“Your Highness, Oz! I have news for you!”

At that moment, one of Oz’s guards came hurrying down the corridor.

Knights were not normally allowed to enter the Great Temple, but in emergencies, they were granted special permission to do so.

“A messenger from the neighboring country of Katar has come to the royal palace to seek an audience with Evelyn-sama!”

“Huh?”

The knight’s words followed as he thought deeply about the meaning of the words.

“It’s not just Katar. Messengers have come from Dominium, Rimma, Aurakuna, and even as far away as Talinia.”

“At a time like this……!”

Oz clicked his tongue involuntarily.

The urgent need to find Evelyn had caused a series of problems.

And Igna, who was being told something by his own escort knight beside him, spoke to Oz with a slightly apologetic look on his face.

“I’m sorry, Oz. I have to leave the capital for a while. I need you to take care of the messengers.”

“What’s going on?”

“Europa is coming this way.”

“Europa-sama?”

“She is supposed to be passing through Shem City with an escort, as usual, and I would like to pick her up.”

Europa was Igna’s fiancée and duchess.

The Counts of Manilas, who rule Shem, have long been friends with the Dukes of Cate, Europa’s birth family.

Count Manilas’ sister is the Duchess of Cate, and the two families are very close. For this reason, Iguna said that whenever Europa comes to the royal capital, she always stays overnight in the city of Shem.

However, it only takes about an hour by carriage from the royal capital Rasta to the neighboring town of Shem.

It wasn’t like the prince would go out of his way to pick them up, but Oz wasn’t wild enough to care about that.

(The only person the dim-witted Igna-oniisan had shown any real interest in was Europa-sama.)

That’s fine.

(I’ll probably die of stress soon.)

Soon there would be a big hole in Oz’s stomach.
