From the Saint’s Perspective
A week has passed since then.
Cain hasn’t woken up since that day, and his body hasn’t moved at all.
However, various questions have been surfacing in our minds lately.
A week ago, when I treated Cain, I discovered that his five senses had been blocked.
And no matter how many healing spells I cast, his senses would not return.
To be blunt, this is abnormal.
While it’s possible to lose some of one’s senses due to a curse or aftereffects, it’s basically unheard of to lose all five.
And the most puzzling part is… how… how was he able to move without any of his senses?
When did he lose his senses in the first place?
….I think I have a slight idea…
After the princess’s personal maid was killed by him, he was absent from school for a few days… maybe a week or so.
At the time, we assumed it was because he was healing his injuries.
But… but looking at his mock battle… and the fight from a week ago, I can’t help but doubt that.
The recovery speed he showed in the mock battle, and his incredibly skilled Holy-attribute magic
With that, he should have been able to heal any injury in an instant.
And then, on the day he returned to school…
I sensed something slightly off about the way he walked.
If… if he had lost his five senses at that time…
…were his senses blocked by the personal maid?
If that’s the case, I also feel something off about the personal maid’s strength.
Which leads me to wonder… his… ability?
But… an ability that imposes a disadvantage on himself…
Could it be… that he’s gaining something… in exchange for sacrificing a part of himself?
Like strength… or magical power…
If, if he sacrificed something to save me…
How… how can I ever make amends…
*From the female knight’s perspective
It’s my… it’s my fault…
It’s been a week since that guy… since Cain stopped waking up.
I’ve been training every single day.
Occasionally, the Princess or the Saintess come to watch, looking worried before leaving, but I don’t care about that.
Because, because of my carelessness, Cain…
I… I’ve always thought of him as the worst kind of person.
Right from the moment he enrolled, he ruined the class atmosphere
He hurled insults at the weak and kidnapped the Saintess.
And to top it all off, he murdered the Princess’s personal maid.
Back then, I thought he was evil to the core.
Back then…
When I really think about it, there were a lot of things that didn’t add up.
Hiring the Assassins’ Guild to kill the Saintess.
Murdering the personal maid.
…No matter how you look at it, there’s no point in doing that.
He could have killed her with his own hands without hiring the Assassins’ Guild.
The Cain of the past would have done just that.
He’s the type who believes it’s more reliable to do it himself than to rely on others.
Would a guy like that really hire the Assassins’ Guild?
That’s my first question lately.
And the second:
The murder of the personal maid.
At the time, I thought the maid had protected the Princess from Cain, who was after her life.
But… but, according to what I’ve heard, there’s a possibility that Cain actually sustained serious injuries, isn’t there?
A guy who can effortlessly take down me and the princess struggling against a mere personal maid?
First of all, personal maids don’t undergo that kind of combat training.
That’s because if they were to train and become too powerful, they could kill their master at any time.
And yet, that personal maid managed to inflict serious injuries on Cain
I didn’t think of this at the time… but maybe Cain was the one protecting the princess?
…Maybe the personal maid was actually an assassin or something, and Cain, realizing that, protected her….
That would be… that would be… more realistic.
If… if he really needed to kill the princess, he would have let her die a week ago instead of saving her…
In that case… I…
I did that to him out of my own misguided sense of justice…
※???’s POV
…..It’s about time…..
Huh?
The magic… for three people… has worn off.
Well… I suppose… there’s no problem…..
