Rowen was born as the beloved daughter of a duke with divine power. She could have become a renowned priestess or entered into a prestigious marriage without becoming a priestess, but due to her romantic and pleasure-seeking nature, she chose the path of a priestess.

One day, during her pilgrimage, she formed a connection with Reydox. Although initially aligning with Kian due to her judgment that Gillian Lecador lacked the qualities of a holy knight, she ultimately met a tragic death due to the betrayal of the man she loved, Kaisel.

Kaisel, who betrayed this pure lady dreaming of first love and longing for the first kiss!

“Where did Rowen meet Kaisel?”

While I was covering my head, Sicar spoke, looking at the door Rowen had left through.

“It was during this coming-of-age ceremony.”

“Huh?”

“Rowen met Kaisel during this coming-of-age ceremony.”

That’s during this coming-of-age ceremony!

“Sicar! Let’s interfere! We have to prevent Rowen from meeting Kaisel!”

Sicar wiped the bread crumbs off the table, flicked his hand, and said, “You’re making a fuss again, like in Hersia.”

“But Rowen will teach Kian, and because of Kaisel’s betrayal, Kian will be in a dangerous situation!”

“Is that really why you want to help her? It doesn’t seem like that to me.”

“Well, yeah. She’s an important person to Kian.”

“That’s meddling. Did you forget you came here after saving a child?”

“Are you asking me if I regret saving the child now?”

“I mean, are you regretting helping someone unrelated again because of the trouble it caused?”

Even adults need help from other adults at times. Moreover, children often need the help of adults.

But when I was the weakest in my childhood, I didn’t receive help from anyone. That’s why, as much as I was the weakest, at least for children, I wanted to be a helpful adult.

Therefore, I don’t regret saving the child and coming here.

“I don’t regret it.”

“I know. If you hadn’t saved the child back then, you would have regretted not saving the child. You’re such a fool.”

“Yeah. I’m a fool. So, I have to help Rowen too. Kian cried a lot because of Rowen’s mistake. I don’t want Kian to lose someone again, and I don’t want to leave Rowen, who is so innocent, meeting the wrong man and getting betrayed. Anyway, if we just prevent her from meeting Kaisel, it won’t be difficult.”

“You’re making things complicated.”

“Then, at least don’t interfere with me so that I can do it alone.”

“Do you see me as someone who would allow you to go alone?”

Of course, he won’t easily allow it. I know that. But I’m also a stubborn person.

“Although it may seem like my meddling, pretending not to know when you clearly know it will go wrong is aiding and abetting! It’s okay if you don’t help. Even if I’m alone, I’ll make sure she doesn’t meet that guy. Just don’t interfere with my work.”
“I can’t even go to crowded places, so what can I do? Without me, you can’t go anywhere.”

“So, are you just telling me to watch? Didn’t we just score a muffin, and you don’t think you’re being too mean?”

Sicar’s eyes, which had been scratching his face, suddenly turned fierce and grinned again.

“Just because you’re not scared of me… cute, cute…”

I just didn’t show it. Was it because I didn’t show that I was scared that he found me cute all this time?

Since Sicar still hadn’t spoken next and was staring at me intently, cold sweat dripped down my spine.

“…Really annoying.”

At that moment, I wondered if he would have threatened me with a knife at his waist if he had one. Of course, now that kind of threat wouldn’t work on me.

“Then, are you saying you’ll help?”

“I can’t let my wife go alone. Is there a way?”

In the end, he would listen to me like this again while resisting.

“But why can’t I send my wife alone…?”

“There’s no crazy person who would send his wife alone there. Now, get up. It’s time for the evening prayer. We have to keep the worship time while in the temple.”

Sicar grabbed my hand tightly as he left. In the hallway of the dormitory, there were many priests and believers going to the evening prayer like us.

The place we were going to was a small dormitory chapel, so there might be fewer people. I didn’t even take motion sickness medicine.

“Don’t worry too much. It’s not a crowded place.”

Sicar said so and held my hand tightly.

Looking at his hand holding mine, today, in particular, I noticed our wedding ring conspicuously on his fingers.

Come to think of it, Sicar has never taken off this ring since we got married.

Even though it was just a fake marriage, he had always fulfilled the things I asked for, and even when I didn’t say anything, he always took care of me first.

He arranged the wedding simply, and when I met Reydox, he ordered milk tea for me.

The Sicar I knew wasn’t a person overflowing with consideration. He only did that for his family…

Oh my god. Sicar really thinks of me as his wife and likes me for sure!

Yes, he definitely likes me. Given his personality, he probably thinks I’m cute and has a misconception.
