The castle had truly transformed beautifully.

The western and eastern annexes flanking the main building followed traditional architecture.

‘It looks just like a white traditional house.’

Instead of tiles, white plaster had been used to shape the roof, making it even more mystical.

Furthermore, at the entrance, to prevent my kind from feeling left out, Haetae statues were placed on both sides.

‘I didn’t make these.’

I had only brought a keychain shaped like a Haetae; experts had made these.

I couldn’t help but admire how wellcrafted they were.

“These are very impressive beasts!”

The Haetae guarding the entrance particularly pleased Dracyuga.

“It’s a Haetae, a creature that wards off bad energy.”

“Where can one see this creature?”

“You’d probably find it as rare as a dragon.”

“My word, a legendary being!”

Though I circumvented stating it was a creature of myth, it seemed even more mystical.

Several other changes had occurred.

Rooms for children, servants’ quarters, and guest rooms had all been installed with magical stones to create underfloor heating.

‘We’re prepared for winter!’

The cold castle was now a thing of the past.

And one more crucial thing remained.

I turned my gaze towards the left garden.

A small tower stood there, carved from a giant crystal.

‘I named it the domestic magic tower!’

Thanks to Frijia and Mikhail, both originating from magical towers, all necessary apparatuses were installed inside this small tower.

A rainbow bloomed brightly above the domestic magic tower when the sun shone upon it. It was a spectacle just to watch it.

‘No wonder they banished me for creating it in grey.’

I could somewhat understand the feelings of a magic tower owner looking at a gray tower.

I headed towards the domestic magic tower.

Louis and Evan, who had arrived first, awaited me. The children were captivated by the glistening tower.

Mikhail, who had been inspecting the interior, came downstairs.

“Your Highnesses, meet your future magic instructor.”

“I greet you again as a magician. My name is Mikhail Evans.”

“Hello, Master!”

“Please take good care of us, Master.”

Both Louis and Evan greeted him politely. They showed respect to Mikhail, which they hadn’t even shown to Kashar.

Their earnest attitudes were endearing.

I stroked the children’s heads and asked,

“Do you like the tower, where you’ll be learning magic?”

“Yes! It’s so pretty! I will really work hard.”

“Me too.”

Especially Evan seemed unusually passionate.

I lowered myself to meet Evan’s eyes.

“Take it slow. If you fall ill from overexertion, I’d be really sad.”

I couldn’t help but worry for Evan, who always tended to push himself.

Evan hesitated before responding, so I comforted him by patting his small shoulder.

“I will like you no matter who you become.”

Of course, unless you try to kill me.

“…me too.”

As Evan nodded, I finally felt reassured.

I gave Louis and Evan alternating pecks on the cheeks.

“Haha, it tickles!”

“I’m not a baby…!”

As Evan squirmed, my body was suddenly lifted into the air.
“Huh? Kashar?”

Landlord Kashar was holding me.

It was a sudden appearance.

When I widened my eyes and asked, Kashar squinted his eyes and smiled.

“Only do that with me.”

At the end of his words, my face became a burning sweet potato.

‘Right, I’m really dating.’

Everything still felt like a dream.

While I was blankly staring at him, Evan called me.

“Aileen.”

“Yes?”

“Give me more kisses.”

My eyes widened at the childish behavior I heard for the first time.

In front of me, Evan and Kashar’s gazes met. Seeing the intense sparks fly, a hollow laugh escaped my lips.

“Uh, excuse me. Evan, Kashar?”

A preschooler and a stalker are fighting over me.

An event that wouldn’t even be used as a romance novel title was happening right in front of me.

(This is a time separator.)

The temple of the Goddess of Light ‘Shaina.’

Five high priests were discussing the recordhigh donation.

The donation that came from the Olloze party was used for poverty relief and temple maintenance.

The distribution of the charity fund took place at this meeting.

“This large donation will be a great help to the temple!”

The high priest of the Third Temple raised his voice in excitement. The temple he was responsible for this year had reduced donations due to poor harvests in nearby territories.

“What on Earth was auctioned to gather such an amount?”

On the other hand, the high priest of the Second Temple seriously raised the question.

At this, Ferberov, who was in charge of the First Temple and the High Priesthood, stepped in.

“The donors are Crown Princes Louis Rihardt and Evan Rihardt, but the auction items were submitted by their nursemaids.”

The Crown Princes who made the recordhigh donation. Behind them were their nursemaids.

“We should get to know her. It would be good to exchange greetings with such a faithful follower.”

The high priest of the Third Temple was enthusiastic.

The other high priests felt the same.

The continent was in chaos, and yet the Goddess Shaina’s Saintess had not been born, making it difficult to collect charity funds.

“The Saintess should be born soon.”

The high priest of the Fourth Temple sighed.

Although they were fortunate to receive a large donation this time, who knows what will happen next year.

The temple was most affluent when the Saintess was present.

The faith in the Goddess had not yet diminished. Everyone had worried eyes, but only Ferberov stood resolute.

“Everything is by the grace of the Goddess.”

As Ferberov recited a prayer, the other four high priests joined in.

The splendid conference room was filled with voices praising the Goddess.
