“So, you’re telling me that a half-demon is going to ascend to the throne? With Lady Armenia’s help? What could that woman possibly do?”

Regalis’s tone was icy and arrogant. He couldn’t bring himself to believe in Daphne’s prophecy and foresight.

However, Daphne spoke with unwavering certainty.

“In the vision, Lady Armenia had the ability to communicate with the gods and possessed strong divine power. Therefore, Duke Belial is going to ascend to the throne with the assistance of a blessed wife.”

Crown Prince Regalis fell into deep thought for a moment.

“Lady Armenia is such a remarkable person?”

Armenia was a family that had maintained their divine power for generations, up until a century ago. They were known to have individuals with both strong healing and offensive capabilities. However, it had been a long time since their divine power had disappeared.

If Daphne’s words were true, then Armenia was like another saint who had appeared after a long time.

Regalis looked at Daphne with a sinking gaze.

“This situation is unfavorable for me as well, isn’t it?”

Saint Daphne immediately agreed.

“Yes. If someone who can communicate with the gods is involved, then it’s only natural that I should step down from my position.”

“Are you asking me to kill Lady Armenia in your place?”

Regalis casually made a terrifying statement with an unaffected expression. He was someone who could actually carry it out.

Daphne nodded quietly.

“Is there any other choice? Your Highness Crown Prince, please come up with a plan, whether I agree or not.”

“Well, what choice do we have? We can divorce her.”

It seemed better to divorce her than to kill her.

Regalis was the easiest person in the world to deal with when it came to women. He was confident that if he met Olentia, he could divorce her. First, he could use Daphne, who seemed to be on his side for now, and if necessary, pretend to be fond of Olentia.

Compared to the detestable half-demon Duke, he considered himself a much better option.

“Just promise me one thing.”

Regalis asked Daphne for one thing, believing that people with divine power like herself and Olentia would have some kind of connection.

“If things don’t go well for me, please meet Lady Armenia in my place.”

Daphne readily agreed. She didn’t seem to think she was being used in any way.

After Regalis left the lake garden, Daphne wiped away the sweat with trembling hands. Even though it was the Prince’s Palace, being outdoors made her even more nervous.

“Please… stay safe.”

Daphne had secretly admired the prince and was in love with him. That’s why she had contacted him as soon as she had a vision related to him. Although she was a saint, meeting a man alone was a dangerous thing.

Daphne got up from her seat and left the Prince’s Palace as casually as possible. She wanted to capture the beautiful places she saw since it was her first time at the Prince’s Palace, but she had no choice.

She acted as if she were fine, but the moment she thought about her dream, her legs trembled.

In Daphne’s dream, Olentia possessed such a strong divine power that she could defeat a giant demon. Of course, Daphne had experienced such things as well, but the important thing was that Olentia could communicate with the gods through the bracelet on her right wrist.

Daphne was by no means a match for her. She had no real desire to keep the saint, so it didn’t matter whether she used Daphne or not.

However, it had to be prevented that it was not Regalis but Dimidius who ascended to the throne.

Daphne was prepared to do whatever it took for Regalis’s sake.

Arriving at the Duke’s Mansion in Geranium Green Park, Olentia marveled at the many roses blooming in the garden. Red roses swayed in the breeze, exuding a graceful charm.
“Wow! There are so many roses. Do you happen to like them? They’re incredibly tempting and beautiful.”

In response to Olentia’s question, Dimidius avoided answering.

“Ahem! I’ll be staying here for about a month due to the Founding Festival. Is that okay with you?”

Olentia couldn’t understand why he was avoiding the question, so she raised an eyebrow. His coughing indicated that he didn’t want to answer.

“Why does he seem so uncomfortable? Well, I guess I should leave it alone.”

She followed Dimidius into the mansion while thinking that.

“Well, I’m much more familiar with Geranium Green Park. There’s no need for me to go to Duke Belial’s estate in Valial.”

“But I will go there in a month.”

“That can’t be helped.”

It was her duty to transfer her divine power to Dimidius, and she couldn’t do it separately. While exploring the spacious and clean interior of the mansion, Olentia spoke to him.

“It was quite surprising when you said you would attend this year’s Founding Festival. I thought you hated social gatherings.”

Then, Dimidius, lying almost as if he were on the couch on the first floor, spoke in a languid voice.

“Without any prior communication, I got married, so I thought I should greet Empress Mother.”
