Chapter 120: A battle of sincerity

“That is not where I should be. You know that, right?”

Sigren swallowed his breath. 

It turned out I could still make him nervous.

I smiled. “I've received the edict from His Majesty, so I must work hard.”

I was here as the representative of Heilon. I would hold the highest position if Sigren were not in this delegation. But because he was on this expedition, he became the leader by default. To be honest, I was actually grateful he was here because I didn't have to be in charge of the expedition. However, now that we were in this place, it would be too much if I didn't do what I was supposed to as Heilon's delegate when the Knight of Heilon was participating. Especially because I was in charge of the Knights of Heilon.

“Abel should come back soon.”

“Why are you suddenly talking about the Duke? You miss him?”

Sigren looked dissatisfied while looking at me for a moment. 

“With Abel, you wouldn't have to come here. Also, if he were here, it would be a nice opportunity to make him do anything.”

Haha, that reasoning was a bit… nice actually. 

However, unfortunately, Sigren didn't fall for my beauty. I thought because he felt nervous he would not quibble about this. But he actually would. After a long discussion, it was decided that I would join him in the beginning, and then leave in the second half. 

“The number of monsters would decrease in the second half anyway, so I won't need you.”

Well, that was obvious. My power had a wide range to kill the monsters at once. To put it bluntly, when I was on the battlefield, it was in my control.

“You're still good friends.” Isaac, who was watching our quibbling from a distance, said with interest. There was a moment when it felt like he was reminiscing. 

“What are you looking at?”

Isaac smiled. His hand stroked my hair, but he paused and quickly put his hand down. “Oh, that was a mistake. It's a habit.”

I shrugged. “I know.”

I've known him for a pretty long time. He treated me like a little sister or nephew up until I became the adopted daughter of Heilon. Not only he, but most of the Knights of Heilon also did similar things as him. I didn't mind at all. Everyone had a little habit that was hard to break, even if they had tried.

At that moment, something fell from Isaac's pocket as he turned around. 

I saw it a step later. It was a necklace with a pendant.

“Sir, you dropped something.”

“Ah.” Isaac quickly picked up.

“Is it something you've cherished?” I asked curiously

Usually, knights rarely wear necklaces. 

Isaac smiled and opened the pendant. Inside was a portrait of a woman.

Aha.

“Is that your wife's face? You're a romanticist, aren't you?”

Well, there were no mobile phones here. So people have to appease their longing for someone using something like this.

“Oh right, she told me that she was pregnant before I left.”

Huh? I opened my eyes, shocked. “What! You should've told me!”

How could I let a married man leave his pregnant wife for such a long time?

“You should be with your wife, not me!”

“It couldn't be helped, it's an order.”

That spiteful Abel! He really ordered around without thinking! I kept cursing at the root cause of this situation inwardly.

“Ah, but Master said he would let me go back before the due date.”

“Still, I think it would be better for a pregnant wife to have their husband around even during the pregnancy….”

Pregnant women usually have a hard time, like morning sickness or other hormone problems. 

I clenched my fists. 

“Okay, you should go back as soon as possible after we're back at Heilon.”

“Thank you,” Isaac said nothing more than a polite response. 

Seeing that he didn't refuse with a mouthful of words like usual, it seemed that he really missed his wife.

The subjugation proceeded smoothly. Well, how could it not be easy? The party consists of the male protagonist, a mercenary king, and even the strongest mage in the world. With us, wasn't it also easy to wipe up this forest's monsters to its seeds? Right, that's a doable idea.

So I kept shooting lightning with great motivation. But Kwonter suddenly stopped me. 

“Do it in moderation, your allies are afraid.”

When I turned around, the face of the other soldiers and mercenaries had turned white. Ah, I forgot. So I smiled as harmlessly as possible, but everyone flinched their shoulders. Haha, right, I forgot many of these soldiers and mercenaries had never seen me before.

Anyway, in the end, I kept it in moderation so as to not scare these guys. 

When my time was up, I took part in the survey of the village that had become a Dead Land. And so were Isaac and Kwonter. They kept following me. 

“Isn't this a kind of waste of manpower?”

“No. Because we need personnel to protect the headquarters.”

Those were Isaac's words.

“My job is to keep you safe.” 

Those were the words of the Mercenary King who was threatened by my adoptive father. 

While Sigren was away, I was the head of the headquarters.

So, I have to ignore unnecessary thoughts and concentrate on the task in front of me. 

“Lady Eunice, do you think you could restore the Dead Land with your power?”

I remembered this was the first time she's ever done it, but Eunice said “It may be possible for other areas, but this is the first time I've seen such a wide area of Dead Land….”

Eunice let out a soft sigh after muttering that this was the first time, “If only my strength was not lacking.” 

A researcher shrugged. “There is only one saintess, but there are several Dead Lands. With just this fact, anyone could see that it is impossible for one person to bear alone.”

Sensible words. 

Since I got a chance to talk to the Academy researcher, I decided to clear up my doubts.

“That's right. Lady Eunice is not lacking. It's just that it is not the best way. Isn't there a better way to get rid of the Darkness?”
