“What? You son of…”
Demian uttered a harsh curse at the lamp.
『You have eighty times left.』
“Did it hurt their pride when the first thing the demon talked about was the arrival of the saintess? We know exactly where that information came from, and yet they announced it as the revelation of God?”
Demian was furious more than he was dumbfounded.
Through the black sorcerer that he had met in Hautean, he confirmed that it was the demon that made it known about the arrival of the saintess, not God. However, the Temple of Glory in the Empire was deceiving people as if God had given them the revelation.
It had been over 100 years since they stopped hearing God’s voice.
『The temple made an excuse, saying that they wanted to wait until they found the saintess before disclosing that information to avoid confusion…』
“I don’t think I’m going to be in Tarragon for the time being. I have a strong premonition that something troublesome will happen.”
Though Demian was going to go back as soon as he found the saintess, he did not think that he should do that anymore.
Hearing Demian’s refusal to go back, Acerus let out a sigh and mumbled.
『Good for you.』
“What?”
『You’re free.』
“Be born as a slave then.”
『…』
Acerus kept his mouth shut.
The lamp’s light flickered.
They knew that they had not much time left to talk, nevertheless Acerus and Demian did not say anything for a moment.
The first to break the silence was Crown Prince Acerus.
『How’s Hautean?』
“Now that I have got rid of two black sorcerers, the rest of them are all hiding. I think I will have to approach Sonnet Hautean.”
『Sonnet Hautean? The Princess?』

“Yeah. According to them, the Princess is a strong candidate for being a saintess. They will for sure show up around her sooner or later.”
『How are you going to approach her?』
“Of course through…”
Demian suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence.
Acerus, who had been waiting for Demian’s next remark with high anticipation, burst into a fit of anger.
『What? Why? What is it? How are you going to do it? Hey, a bastard who stops in the middle of their sentence is the worst bastard in the world.』
“I will take care of that.”
『Oi, you son of a gun!』
“Conversation over.”
Acerus’ loud grumbling voice disappeared with the sound of a click.
Demian put out the magic light on the lamp by blowing it off and returned the warehouse to its original appearance before walking outside.
“Goodman.”
“Good work.”
The innkeeper raised one hand and waved it roughly, signing that there was no need for any greeting.
Leaving him behind and out of the inn, there appeared an end-of-summer-sunset. The deep scarlet sunset spread from the end of the world. The dark clouds and red sunset contrasted strongly.
It was a bewitching sky.
Like Lara’s eyes.
Demian climbed up the horse to go back, but he could not give a signal for departure.
His gaze continued to remain in the burning sunset.
He had to get her help to approach Sonnet Hautean.
Lara.
The woman who felt guilty for him and approached him to make atonement for her wrongdoings. Despite him being in front of her, she missed the Demian Drake—the one that he did not know—in her dream.
Somehow…
She might be the saintess.
At first, he thought Lara was crazy. He wondered if someone could be so deeply seized with guilt through a nightmare. But he acknowledged that her dream had some foresight. Because no one knew that Demian was a spy sent by Acerus.

Demian put aside the possibility that she was the saintess.
Lara neither served God nor did she have a trace of God. She could neither hear God’s voice nor could she use God’s power.
