Rishe looked into Arnold’s eyes.

“I have determined that Leo is an assassin.”

“…”

Arnold exhaled quietly upon hearing her response.

“If that’s the case, why did you entrust him with the rescue?”

“Even if he’s an assassin, he isn’t considered a threat…I believe that he is too kind to make killing people a living.”

The first day they arrived at the Grand Shrine, Leo frantically rode his horse to call for help, to let them know that there had been a carriage accident.

When Myria disappeared, he seriously turned pale and told Rishe what happened. If he was going to kill Myria, he should have just kept quiet and fooled her.

But Leo even called Arnold for help.

“――I took advantage of that. I’ve decided that no matter what skills Leo had, he couldn’t kill someone with his gentleness.”

It was for this reason that she let Leo and Myria interact and share a meal together, despite knowing it was a terrible idea.

Because she knew the future.

Leo committed a huge mistake, and his employer punished him so severely that he lost one of his eyes.

If he hadn’t escaped with his life, he would have been killed.

His employer was not the Duke, Myria’s father. It was probably his employer in the assassination business.

Leo’s failure may have been about Myria-sama’s assasination. If the tale about Duke Jornal’s paralysis due to an illness was a lie, then it must be the sequelae of the poison he had used to protect Myria-sama…

The poison that poisoned Rishe and the seamstresses would have left them with severe paralysis, even if it didn’t kill them, if the treatment wasn’t timely.

In retrospect, the symptoms that appeared on the Duke were exactly the aftereffects of the mixed poison.

The Duke of Jonal I served as a maidservant probably lied to me.

The reason he faked the cause of his illness might have been to avoid unnecessary tension to Myria.

The servants might have been replaced in order to prevent people, who knew that he did not have any chronic illnesses, from informing Myria of the truth.

The Duke’s paralysis and Leo’s serious injury are destined to be determined in this Grand Shrine.

The uproar that occured here probably resulted in the punishment of the archbishop.

And so Myria grew up believing that the misfortunes that occurred around her were her fault, and she grew up with that trauma buried in her heart.

We have to keep Leo from carrying out the assassination, keep him and His Excellency and the others safe. Keep everything under control… However, if the enemy after Myria-sama is the world’s largest religion, Krushade, it isn’t the way to go…

She struggled and let her thoughts slip out.

“Why would the Order want to kill Myria-sama, the Maiden Priestess?”

“…”

Pfft, she heard a stifled chuckle.

Rishe looked at Arnold in surprise, and he asked.

“Do you really think that the Maiden Priestess is the one that the Order needs to protect?”
