Chapter 187 - Volume 9 (2/2)
“Ooohhh…”
Noel slid out of his chair, as if aghast, and dropped weakly with his hands and knees on the ground.
“…Shelly. What happened to Noel?”
“Well, you know, maybe he is tired…”
For some reason, Noel was depressed though I didn’t know why he was suddenly so despondent. As I leaned back, I carefreely put a waffle in my mouth, just like Shelly did.
“So what’s going on in the royal capital? Father-is the Duke of Verusenia safe?”
I asked two people who lived near the Thule territory, but for some reason, they didn’t know anything about the Thule territory at all, or about the royal capital.
In the royal capital, there might be a bit of tension in the atmosphere. However, the commoners are still praying to the gods in temples and other places as usual and are relatively untroubled.
Our state religion is the goddess of fertility though. I wonder if it’s alright?
Apparently, my father is still in the castle, talking to the ambassadors of the neighboring countries and keeping them in check, but as far as they know, he’s safe.
……That was great.
The Academy of Magic in Royal Capital continues to hold classes as usual. The Saint Country is a lenient country, so there’s nothing like the officials tormenting people from the south, but I heard that southern aristocrats who have a separate residence in the royal capital rather study at home than to go to classes.
Perhaps, they are scared that the country may be spying on them…
I heard that Noel, as a Hero, was thinking of charging into the south alone to take out the ringleader.
“When I met Rushia, my head got a little clearer. As a hero, I shouldn’t be too crude…”
“…You are right.”
Why do I…I am the saintess and yet I was thinking the same thing as him?
When I inform them I’m going to the Royal Capital, they seem to wish to follow me.
I was thinking that if they come along, it will surely reduce the speed of the travel even further. But indeed, I am not that evil to let my sweet Shelly just camp out in the field.
Forced marching will be difficult when there is a young lady, but I’m not going to waste Shelly’s spirit. When I was wondering about what to do, I found out that Noel could use a transition type magic that seemed to be incredibly useful.
“With this number of people, I’m limited to once a day….”
Transition was actually just a high speed magic, but if we could proceed without walking through the woods and valleys even once a day, it would be a great help to our schedule.
Still, in fact, it’s actually faster for us to just run, but I’ve decided not to say it.
At any rate, when we arrived at the city of the Thule territory, there was a squad of knights guarding the city gate.
“It’s Yurushia. Please open it.”
“……Your Highness? Oh, my God! The princess has returned!”
What do you mean, ‘Oh my God’?
When everyone knew of my return and the gates of the city were opened, I knew that the buzzing was going to spread towards the city like a chain message.
“…Oooooooooooooooooooo!!!!”
Citizens’ voices were echoing loudly from the city.……..this is going to be tough.
Hearing Shelly’s words that if I chose to continue hiding myself, rioting could occur, I hurriedly removed the roof of the carriage–can I get it…? I managed to remove the carriage’s roof and waved lightly from the open carriage, smiling softly, as if responding to the citizen’s voice.
“Princess Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
“Saintess Ahhhhhhh”
“The old man freaked out and collapsed!”
“Hold on, Grandma! Come on, breathe.”
“Send the weak hearted ones back!”
“………”
Not my fault. Not my fault! I didn’t even use [Intimidate]! I was just smiling kindly and waving my hand graciously.
“……………… [Brilliant sacred wings, be the healing light.]”
Golden wings – dazzling feathers flew off from the glorious sacred wings and healed all creatures as they enveloped the city of the Thule territory.
“Woooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
“Princess Yurushia, Banzaaiii !”
“Waaaaaaaahhhh!”
For some reason, the ‘Saintess Return Festival’ started on the spot and the commotion continued until the knights came to escort us to the mansion. This is totally not my fault. It’s really not my fault.

Author’s Note : The population of the Thule territory is about 500,000. In the center of the city alone, more than 200,000 people were in the streets. The rebels were too alarmed by the sudden commotion to do anything about it.
