From Cain’s perspective
…….
…What… happened?
My magic suddenly vanished… and then…
I regained consciousness, but everything before my eyes was pitch black.
I resumed sensing my surroundings with my magic.
But something felt off.
Is this a different room from the one I was in yesterday?
What happened while my magic was gone…
Just then, the door opened.
“Oh, Cain! You’re awake?”
The one who ran toward me with a smile was the Holy Maiden—the one who was supposed to hate me.
Why?
How did this happen?
Her attitude was so different from before that I was completely baffled.
“Here, I brought you some food. It’s hot, so please eat slowly,”
she said, and my confusion only deepened.
“Wait a minute. Who gave you permission to take care of me? Besides, I tried to kill you. To nurse the very person who did that… are you out of your mind?”
I said.
I even thought maybe I should be wary—maybe there’s poison in this food.
Then the Holy Maiden said,
“So that’s how you kept everyone around you from noticing, was it? Were you the one casting the spell too? Well, never mind that—it’s pointless now that we’ve figured it out.”
She said.
She’s onto me
Did she figure it out?
No, surely not… that can’t be right.
Maybe I should ask her about it…
“You’ve noticed… huh? What did you notice? Tell me.”
“That you’ve been secretly protecting us.”
That’s what she said.
She knows everything…
How on earth did she figure it out?
It was just once. I only saved her from Senjukan once.
Besides, she hated me so much before that.
“And… you even cast a spell on the people around us so we wouldn’t be noticed…”
“A spell?”
It was a genuine question from me.
I didn’t… cast any spells.
At that, the Saint’s expression turned serious for a moment, then immediately returned to her previous smile, and
“For now, you’ll be staying here until everything heals!”
she said.
I guess there’s no helping it that she found out…
But I didn’t see this turn of events coming.
After we finished eating, the Saint kept praying right beside me.
“What… are you praying for?”
“I’m praying that you won’t get hurt any more. You really… really don’t have to sacrifice yourself for us anymore.”
Hearing that, I clutched my head.
There’s still one more left.
And that’s the final boss.
With things getting this intense, it’s becoming harder to use my abilities.
Even after the Saint left, I was still clutching my head.
Knock, knock.
With a soft knock, the Princess walked in…
