“The Saintess, Princess Yurushia, has returned!”
Such shocking news suddenly spread to the territories of the Saint Kingdom.
A letter was sent by a fast carrier horse. The transmission of letters by magic exists only in the royal capital and the five great dukes’ estates. The rebel intelligence services have covertly infiltrated all territories. The information disseminated by them with the clandestine reconnaissance by other countries had a tremendous impact on all sides.
It was the ordinary citizens who were most honestly happy about her return.
The “Princess” is the “face” of the Saint Country. Even as a child, she had a beauty that would make people who glanced at her forget to breathe. She is a true saint who heals everyone without discrimination and is recognized by the country as the Saintess of the Saint Kingdom alongside the Hero. Her generosity melts even the demon king’s frozen heart, and she even traveled alone to an unknown world to save the world from danger. She is truly the world’s savior.
‘…… Who are you talking about?’
Most likely, there won’t be anybody thinking like that when they hear the stories. Since the general public in the Saint Country all know about her stories and legends, the joy and enthusiasm they have can be imagined from seeing the state of the city of Thule when they found out that the Saintess have returned.
Despite the fact that the information is still uncertain, the ‘Saintess Return Festival’ has already begun in various parts of the Saint Country even with her absence. Lights and noises of celebration continue day and night without noting the time. All of the people decisively decided that if she happens to appear in the area, they will just hold another festival to welcome her.
The noise was as great in the royal capital as it was in the Thule territory.
In particular, His Majesty the King, the grandfather of Princess Yurushia, insisted on confirming her safety in person. Even her father, the Duke of Verusenia, who was in charge of coordinating with various countries, tried to throw out his official duties and flee the castle. The appearance of the crown prince desperately stopping the Duke of Verusenia from fleeing the castle was embarrassingly seen too. Soon after, Princess Yurushia’s safety was confirmed by the princess’ cousin who is both a member of the royal family and also the Holy Warrior.
The royal family then enthusiastically decided to sponsor a large welcoming ‘Saintess Return Festival’ in the royal capital.
The reaction of the nobles however is not as simple as that of the commoners’.
The nobles, whether those loyal to the royal family or neutral, were all showing joy that the Princess had returned. However, many of the other nobles feared that power soon would be more concentrated in the Duke of Verusenia, the family of the Princess. Moreover, the duke’s daughter was immensely popular among the citizens to the point it could be said that the Princess is even more beloved than the royal family. Therefore, the nobles were afraid that the Princess would have a greater say than the royal family.
Remarkably, there are several old noblemen, who are supposed to be the most wary of such dangers, raised their hands and enjoyed the return of Princess Yurushia instead. Rather, they suppressed the other noble families who regarded the princess as threathening.
There are also rumors floating around that those old noblemen belong to a dubious “group” and their involvement with Princess Yurushia is also suspected.
