In the original work, Jermy falls for Roen after seeing her optimistic and calm demeanor, but she realizes that Roen already has someone she loves, leading her to secretly harbor unrequited love.

And after Roen’s death, Jermy uses that anger as a catalyst to take down Kaisel.

Why did I just think of that now, with Jermy around?

Sicar, with an unenthusiastic expression, sliced the bread and placed it on my plate, saying, “So, are you suggesting we take Jermy to the coming-of-age ceremony?”

Sicar, judging that it would be difficult for us to eat dinner at the temple, had personally brought dinner from the cafeteria.

As Roen had mentioned, the meals served in the temple were fundamentally different from those at the ducal residence. It consisted of only bread, corn soup, and a few pieces of dried chicken.

I had told Sicar that we had desserts with us, but as expected, he didn’t bring any desserts.

“He really listens to me quite well.”

Eating the bread Sicar had placed on my plate, dipped in the soup, I said, “Yeah. Connecting Jermy with Roen will solve everything. Hmm… By the way, this bread is surprisingly delicious.”

“Anything tastes good when you’re hungry.”

Ah, so that’s why it’s delicious? Anyway, it was quite tasty. By the way, I wonder if our chef Kian is having dinner around this time.

“Kian is probably still attending the worship service with his grandmother, right? It’s probably dinner time for Kian too. I wonder if he’s not too hungry. I’m worried that the food here doesn’t suit his taste, as he’s used to the food at the ducal residence…”

“Actually, on our way here, I told his grandmother why he missed the worship service, and I heard about Kian’s well-being on the way back. Kian is surrounded by temple attendants, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Surrounded by temple attendants? Why? Wait, could it be that they recognized Kian’s divine power or something like that?!”

“Unless they are high-ranking priests or senior temple attendants, it’s not easy for ordinary priests to recognize that. Well, they say Kian is popular because he’s surrounded by temple attendants.”

“Ah… I see. Well, there won’t be many chances to see children here. Typically, trainee priests or young priests pass through monasteries or other Lepair temples rather than the main temple. Maybe they found it fascinating to see young children.”

“That too, but it’s probably because Kian is drawn to the dignity emanating from him.”

Sicar raised the corner of his mouth as if bragging about his own child.

I wondered if Sicar had somewhat opened up to Kian. Or perhaps, playing the role of a father made him feel like Kian’s dad.

I couldn’t peek into his inner thoughts, but one thing was for sure—Sicar praised Kian.

“Anyway, let’s continue the conversation. So, what’s your plan?”

“So, my plan is.”

My plan was this.

The circumstances that allowed Kaisel and Roen to be together were not explicitly mentioned. What is clear is that Roen fell for Kaisel at first sight.
So, the first thing was to kidnap Kaisel during the coming-of-age ceremony and imprison him somewhere.

Upon hearing my words, Sicar nodded his head.

“Kidnap and imprison… those are Vika’s specialties. It’s a pity we didn’t bring Vika. Anyway, kidnapping and imprisoning should be a piece of cake.”

This was the first time I felt fortunate that Sicar played the role of a villain. If he were a protagonist, he probably wouldn’t engage in unethical acts like kidnapping and imprisonment in the middle of everything.

For the first time, I felt that Sicar and I were on the same page.

“And next?”

“Next, we need to dress up Jermy like Kaisel before the coming-of-age ceremony.”

Kaisel, aspiring to become a knight, came to the capital as soon as the coming-of-age ceremony ended and became a knight immediately after taking the knight examination.

“Judging from what I can infer, Roen might have fallen for Kaisel’s dignified masculinity. So, we need to disguise Jermy as a knight.”

“Disguising that weakling Jermy as a knight? I wonder if it will work.”

“Of course, in the eyes of the knights, he may seem frail, but Roen, who has never seen a knight before, might not think he’s that fragile.”

“Then we need to get a knight’s uniform.”

Come to think of it, clothing is the issue.

“Where can we get the clothes?”

“Where else but make them? Since we’ve decided to do volunteer work with Grandma during the day, we can make them in the evening. We couldn’t get the materials today, so let’s try to get them tomorrow.”

Sicar’s brain was definitely quick. I regretted being sacrificed to his quick thinking, but still.

“It should work out well with Jermy. Then, whether it’s Jermy, Roen, or in the end, Kian, it will be good for all of us. So, let’s continue with the plan.”

“Changing fate may not be that easy, but somehow, I feel like you’ll pull it off.”

Sicar spoke with a cold tone, but I knew more than anything that it was sincere. He genuinely believed that I could handle it.

I returned Sicar’s words that I had heard earlier.

“Sicar, you really like me.”
