The members that will accompany me to the royal capital are the same members who were here, plus Shelly and Noel.
Again, there was a bit of a struggle here. The Knights of the Dukes of Verusenia offered themselves and even pleaded to bring them along too. It took a lot of convincing for them not to follow.
It’s just that I can’t take away the Knights who protect this place when the rebels might attack at any moment.
I gave out numerous reasons including the fact that when we have a large army, our movements become slower. Lastly, I could only convince them by saying that Noel, the Hero, will be accompanying me.
……..Just in case though, I’m going to sneak in about a hundred [ Greater Demon] to stay here for protection, but….
“…Rushia, I sense something evil near you. Be careful.”
“A- Aren’t you imagining things? Noel is such a worrier.”
You guys should be better at hiding your presence if you’re greater demons. Otherwise, the Hero will take you down.
As we departed, a parade through the main streets of the city was still going on even though it’s the same procession that was started as when we came in.
The Dukes of Verusenia’s prized 16-horse carriage – powered by magical power, the body alone has the same size as a small mansion. As the carriage left the area, I was waving from the window to the residents…My face was starting to cramp due to me smiling the whole time.
By the way, it seems that this carriage was ordered by my father when I was certified as a saint. My dear dad paid 400 large gold coins at that instant and ordered the construction to begin immediately.
…You’re still an overly doting parent, father. Then, I realized that grandfather also gave me the exclusive guards knights, I guess the term like father like son is true.
Luckily, this carriage is as fast as it was expensive. Normally, we would have needed all of three days and two nights for just a one-way trip to the royal capital, but this carriage could get us to the royal capital by tomorrow night.
However, the world is not that easy. We still need to be wary of the rebels as we move and more importantly, we need to compensate for the money that the fake saints and heroes have forcefully collected. I thought of leaving it to someone else… but I figured I might have to personally show my face to some extent to erase the misunderstanding. It’s a bother.
Fake saint….. I won’t forgive you.

“Chi, I’m gonna lose it”
In an inn town, in one of the town’s only high-class inns, four men and women were sitting in a circle counting gold coins.
A brown-haired, frivolous-looking boy, who looked to be in his late teens, spat those words out angrily. A blonde girl of the same age, who was brushing her nails with gold coins, chuckled back.
“It’s great because you can make so much easy money doing nothing. Everyone in every town is willing to give at the mere mention of the saint’s name.”
“You need to hide your vile nature more. You take too much pleasure in your jewelry.”
“Araa~ I beg your pardon.”
