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

Chapter 37: Praying you a happy future

After I escaped from the arena.

It was decided that it was time to go back, and Theodore-sama and I returned to the Great Temple.

There was still time before the prayer ceremony, but we had been asked to return an hour early.

In the waiting room, I will put on the robe of the saint again, and then we will be ready….

Sometime later.

It was not Theodore-sama who had returned with me, but His Royal Highness Prince Oz who visited me shortly after.

His Royal Highness smiled at me and said a few words of praise about me, but I will leave that part out… Because I was too embarrassed.

(There is something very apologetic about having to ask for so much attention and so many compliments!)

I agonized with an embarrassed smile on my face.

His Highness Oz waved goodbye to the crowd and then bowed deeply to me.

“Evelyn-sama, I know it’s late… I apologize on behalf of my brother. I am aware that this matter cannot be settled with a simple apology, but I am sorry.”

“This is not something His Highness Oz should apologize for.”

“But I couldn’t even stop my brother’s stupidity…!　That … that brother of mine … that son of a bitch …!”

“Your Highness, Oz! ?”

I blanched as I saw the blood dripping from His Royal Highness Oz’s trembling knuckles.

Noticing my gaze, His Highness Oz hid his fists behind his back and smiled falsely.

“…No, I’m sorry. It’s nothing.”

“It’s not nothing, is it! ?”

I rushed behind him and gently grabbed His Royal Highness Oz’s hidden fist.

Maybe that’s disrespectful? I thought so too, but it was an emergency, so you’ll have to forgive me… I want to believe that I won’t be executed.

“Evelyn-sama?”

I was about to [heal] him when he called out in a careless voice….

I changed my mind and said the magic name without hesitation.

“[Analysis]”

Magic [Analysis]

As I chanted it, several reddish-black bullets shot out of the wounds where his nails had pierced and were absorbed by me.

I fidgeted, wondering if he would think I was scary, but His Royal Highness Oz’s eyes widened and he stared at me silently.

I took advantage of this… I slowly traced the images of his memories.

(Uh, w-what, what, Alex… Alextard… Alextard… What the heck is that!!!).

Changing his brother’s name lately has clouded His Royal Highness Oz’s memory.

His Highness Alex’s stupid smiling and crying face runs like a running clock through every scene, destroying his brain.

(Your Highness, Oz, you have lived in such a state…).

It was a pain that would have driven a normal person insane, but he had endured that pain alone until now.

I thought of the painful sight of him sitting in his wheelchair, mumbling to himself, when we first met.

(Add to this the [Treaty of Non-Aggression of Saints], the fake saint, the idolatry, and the execution of Mary…)

The others join in and fly around His Highness Alex’s face.

His Highness Igna, the Chief priest, the priests, Mary… Crawling around like insects, their faces screaming something as they devour the brain of His Royal Highness Oz.

I concentrated and listened closely to those voices.

[Dieeeeee! !]

[She’s going to be twenty-eight years old this year… Hiii!]

[Alextard, you mean…? Is the Chief Priest a genius?”

[Kill… I’m going to boil him in a pot and make him suffer…]

[I get it. You really like me, don’t you! ?]

[Have you seen a girl with the adorable beauty of an angel?]

[Evelyn-sama is my first grandchild!]

[I’m such a sinful woman to be fought over by two princes!]

(This is terrible!)

I’ve never seen anything like it before.

It is a noisy and chaotic memory.

(This guy. Poor thing!)

Tears welled up in my eyes.

His Royal Highness immediately noticed and took out a clean, crumpled handkerchief and handed it to me.

“T-Thank you, thank you… very much.”

“Evelyn-sama… Why are you crying?”

“Because His Royal Highness, Oz, has been through so much… and he is so young and good looking…”

I quickly blew my nose and managed to say [Heal].The wound on His Highness Oz’s fist healed quickly.

When he thanked me, I couldn’t help but say something in a shaky voice.

“Your Highness, Oz, please put your heart on the line. Of the three princes, you are the only one who is decent and respectable.”

“I’m the only decent, respectable…?”

“The people of the Holy Land of Snazil are lucky to have a decent prince like you!”

“I’m decent… Decent…”

The bright light returned to His Highness Prince Oz’s eyes.

“…Thank you, Evelyn-sama. Thanks to you, I feel like I’m finally waking up from a bad dream.”

“Your Highness, Oz…”

“I am so glad we have you, a beautiful and kind Saint who shines a light on the evil in our country.”

The intelligent look in his eyes and the way he spoke and acted left me speechless for a while.

(This feeling… That’s right. This is — a remarkable sign of common sense!)

I could feel the same vibes from him that I had only felt from Kira before.

“And thank you for all that you have done for our country as a Saint. May God bless your path in the future.”

His Highness Oz, not knowing that I was touched, put his hand on his chest and smiled.

I didn’t know what to say to him since he was royal, but… I decided to send him my heartfelt words.

“I pray for his Highness Oz happiness, too.”

“Evelyn-sama?”

His Royal Highness looked at me in surprise, then lowered his eyebrows and said, “If a rare Saint prays for me, I’ll be happy.”

(I really want you to be happy…!)

I prayed strongly.I prayed earnestly to the Mother Goddess.

(I hope you meet someone cute and decent…!)

As I was praying to the heavens, His Highness Oz said, “That’s right.”

“Evelyn-sama. There are people who want to see you.”

“Eh?…Are they crazy people?”

“They are not crazy people… Evelyn-sama has been through a lot, hasn’t she?”

His Highness Oz muttered in sympathy. No, not as much as you, I shook my head.

“I’m the younger brother of the man who treated you so cruelly… Evelyn-sama. Could you please allow me to escort you just for now?”

Apparently, His Highness will bring me to them personally.

I had no reason to hesitate, so I nodded.

“Yes, I’d be happy to.”

I pulled the white veil of thin fabric over my face and gently took His Royal Highness’ hand.
