“So how does a half-demon like you end up on the throne? With the help of Lady Armeniaca? What kind of help could that woman possibly provide?”

Legalis’s tone was as cold and arrogant as it could be. He found it hard to believe Daphne’s precognitive dreams and prophecies.

Then Daphne spoke in a clear voice.

“In the precognitive dream, Miss Armeniaca was able to communicate with God and possessed strong divinity. So with the help of the lady blessed by God, His Highness the Grand Duke will ascend to the throne.”

Crown Prince Legalis was lost in thought for a moment.

‘Lady Armeniaca is that great of a person?’

Up until 100 years ago, the Armeniaca family had a long lineage of divinity passed down from generation to generation. He had heard that many of them were strong in both healing and attack powers. But he was told that their divinity had long since disappeared.

If what Daphne said was true, Olentia was none other than another saint appearing for the first time in a very long while.

Legalis looked at Daphne with sunken eyes.

“I’m in an unfavorable situation right now, but do you know it’s unfavorable for you too?”

Saint Daphne immediately agreed.

“Yes. If there is someone who can communicate with God, of course I will have to give up my position.”

“So have you come to ask me to kill Lady Armeniaca for you instead?”

Legalis spoke terrible words with a nonchalant face. He was actually a person who could do such a thing.

Daphne quietly shook her head.

“How could that be possible? I don’t care, so Crown Prince, you should come up with a plan.”

“The plan is obvious, isn’t it? Just divorce her.”

Rather than killing her in a flashy way, divorcing her would be better.

Legalis was the best in the world at dealing with women. He was confident that if he met Olentia, he could get her divorced. For now, it seemed like he could use Daphne, who appeared to be on his side, and if necessary, he was even thinking of pretending to like Olentia.

He thought he would be much better than the gloomy half-demon Grand Duke.

“Just promise me one thing.”

Legalis asked Daphne for one thing, thinking that people with divinity like Daphne and Olentia would have some kind of connection.

“If my work doesn’t go well, please meet Lady Armeniaca once.”

Daphne readily agreed. She didn’t seem to think she was being used at all.

After Legalis left the lake garden, Daphne wiped the sweat from her trembling hands. Even though it was the Crown Prince’s palace, being outdoors made her even more nervous.

“Please… be safe.”

Daphne was secretly in love with the Crown Prince. So as soon as she had a precognitive dream about Legalis, she contacted him. Even though it was dangerous for her, a saint, to meet a man alone.

Daphne got up from her seat and left the Crown Prince’s palace as calmly as possible. It was her first time at the Crown Prince’s palace, and there were many places she wanted to see, but it couldn’t be helped.

She pretended to be fine, but just thinking about the precognitive dream made her legs tremble.

In Daphne’s dream, Olentia had strong enough divinity to fight and defeat a huge demon. Of course, Daphne had similar experiences, but the important thing was that Olentia communicated with God through the bracelet on her right wrist.

There was no way Daphne could win against her. It didn’t really matter anyway, since she didn’t particularly want to remain a saint.

But the one thing that shouldn’t happen was Dimidius taking the throne instead of Legalis.

Daphne was ready to do anything for Legalis.

Arriving at the Grand Duke’s residence in Geranium Green Park, Olentia marveled at the many roses blooming in the garden. The red roses swayed in the breeze, flaunting their elegant beauty.

“Wow! There are so many roses, do you happen to like them? They look very lush and beautiful.”

At Olentia’s question, Dimidius evaded answering.

“Ahem! We’ll be staying here for a fortnight because of the upcoming National Foundation Day, is that alright with you?”

Olentia tilted her head, unable to understand why he was avoiding the question. Judging by the fact that he even cleared his throat, it seemed he didn’t want to answer.

‘Is it something awkward? Then I should avoid it.’

She followed Dimidius into the mansion and said,

“For me, I’m much more familiar with Geranium’s Green Park. There’s no need to go to the Grand Ducal Castle in the Belial territory.”

“But in a fortnight, we will go there.”

“Well, I guess it can’t be helped.”

She had to transfer divinity to Dimidius, so she couldn’t live separately. Olentia looked around the spacious and clean interior of the Grand Duke’s residence and said to him,

“When you said you would attend this year’s National Foundation Day memorial ball, it was a bit unexpected. I thought you hated social parties and such.”

Then Dimidius sat down on the sofa in the 1st floor hall and let out a languid voice.

“Since we got married without any notice, I thought I should pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor.”

“Ah! That’s right. His Majesty the Emperor must have been very surprised. What if he was upset that we didn’t invite him separately?”

“That won’t happen. Although I am his nephew, we are not close. Not like Earl Odor and his lady.”

At those words, Olentia shut her mouth tight in embarrassment. She wondered why he was comparing it to her situation.

But Dimidius almost lay down on the sofa and stretched out one hand outward.

“My lady! Please hold my hand for a moment!”

At the sound, Olentia was startled and ran to grab his hand. She thought he had gone berserk again, but Dimidius only looked fine, brushing back his hair.

Olentia held his hand for a moment and then flicked it. She thought his hand was only warm for some reason.

“Are you playing with me right now?”

Dimidius laughed lowly and sat up properly again. He got up from his seat and said to her,

“I was just amazed that you are by my side, my lady.”

“Try playing one more time! I won’t even respond and just leave.”

“But it would be better to touch frequently. If your divinity accumulates in my body, I will go berserk less often.”

Expressing it as touching made her feel a little strange. Olentia firmly crossed her arms and turned her head sharply.

“I don’t know either! Just show me to my room. I want to go in and rest.”

Then Dimidius, although there was a butler in front, personally went up to the 2nd floor and guided Olentia.

“It’s next to my room.”

At his words, Olentia immediately retorted,

“No, why is it next to Your Highness’s room? Of all places?”

“I may need you when I sleep, my lady. You have to come quickly then.”

“Really! You want a lot of things!”

Olentia went into the room and looked around at the fluffy bed, wide table, and a display cabinet with a music box. Dimidius must have prepared in advance, as there were a lot of negligees, outdoor clothes, and indoor clothes in the wardrobe.

Olentia changed into indoor clothes and said to Bobby with a sullen expression.

“I wonder how I’ll spend 5 months together with His Highness the Grand Duke. Bobby.”

Then Bobby burst into laughter.

“Well… To me, it seems like you two are very well-matched…”

“We are not!”

“Yes. I hope not either. You have to break up someday. By the way, what should we do with the luggage at the Knocktipher house, Miss?”

“Just leave it. As you said, I have to go back there in 5 months anyway.”

There wasn’t anything particularly important, and it seemed faster to look for what the Grand Duke’s residence didn’t have.

Olentia just waited patiently for 5 months to find her inheritance and return to Knocktipher. If she endured, it might come sooner than expected.

Olentia saw Crown Prince Legalis Pulpa in her dream. In a room with a piano, Legalis said something to her, dressed in a fancy gown, and laughed. In the dream, Olentia conversed with Legalis, and the atmosphere wasn’t bad.

Waking up from the strange dream, Olentia scratched the back of her head.

She was tired of thinking and distinguishing whether it was just a simple dream or a precognitive dream.

Even if it was a precognitive dream, conversing with the Crown Prince didn’t seem like a dangerous thing.

‘That’s right? It’s probably nothing.’

Thinking so, Olentia washed her face with the water Bobby brought. Washing her face with cold water woke her up. The dream of conversing with the Crown Prince seemed like it would be forgotten soon.

She entered the splendid rose garden, guided by the butler. Breakfast was prepared in the middle of the garden.

As if waiting for her, Dimidius folded the newspaper and looked ahead.

“You’re here, my lady.”

“Yes. Good morning.”

“Did you sleep well? It was your first night in an unfamiliar place.”

“Yes, well. I did dream though.”

“What dream?”

“Just a dream that’s nothing. You don’t have to mind it.”

Having a casual conversation with Dimidius wasn’t bad. Of course, it would be much better if they didn’t run into each other, but that seemed impossible.

Olentia had breakfast with Dimidius. She ate a refreshing salad, fruit juice, and a light meat dish. They didn’t talk much while eating. Although Dimidius was playful at times, he wasn’t very talkative to begin with.

Moreover, besides seeing his face in the morning like this, there was little chance of meeting Dimidius. He rarely came out of his office on the 3rd floor and seemed to eat dinner roughly while working. Since the Grand Duke’s residence was so spacious, they didn’t bump into each other even when resting.

Olentia called a tailor to fit a dress for the National Foundation Day memorial ball and then idled around with nothing to do. It was a similar life at the Armeniaca Earl’s house, but she didn’t know why it felt more lonely.

But then good news came from the lawyer.

Her inheritance had finally been transferred to her bank.

Olentia, delighted, headed to his office on the 3rd floor without realizing it. The office was guarded by a knight bearing a coat of arms with a black leopard painted on it.

“Just a moment! I have something to say.”

Then the knight politely nodded and opened the office door, and Olentia waited quietly and then felt like “oops”.

‘Ah, I should have just… told him later?’

She had no intention of disturbing his work, but she seemed to have made a mistake out of too much joy.

But the door was already open.

Olentia scratched her head in embarrassment and went inside. As expected, Dimidius had an expression of wondering what was going on.

Olentia clasped her fingers together and said with a troubled face,

“Ah, I was told that my inheritance had been transferred to my bank. After hearing the good news, I accidentally…”

Then Dimidius flipped through the documents and chuckled.

“It is good news indeed. But our contract period still remains?”

Olentia nodded.

“Yes, of course. I know that well too. Then I’ll get going.”

Olentia had no desire to disturb him while working, so she quickly left the office. Judging by the fact that Dimidius didn’t look surprised, she thought he might have made Sokol move. There wasn’t a single family in the Bonus Empire that wasn’t involved in business with Dimidius.

Brother Sokol and Kikozellia must have been totally fooled.

Just thinking about that made Olentia feel thrilled.

“I should have a toast with Bobby today.”

Olentia said happily as she returned to her room.
