Chapter 179

“Saintess, do you mean there’s a Guide in this place?”

Seo-yoon, who arrived with a grand procession from the temple, answered the paladin with a tired expression.

“It’s likely so.”

“Yes, I understand. Then, perhaps it would be best to meet with the ruling lord of this territory first. It might help you in finding the Guide.”

Seo-yoon internally cheered at the paladin’s suggestion. It was as good as being told she could finally escape the carriage.

She had committed to the act because she couldn’t bear the thought of her role as saintess being taken away. But inwardly, she regretted it.

The app’s map only showed shining dots, making it impossible to determine exact locations or what those people looked like in person.

“Indeed, it would have been better if the Goddess had given clearer direction. Then the knights wouldn’t have had to struggle so much.”

“Please do not speak like that. The Goddess must have Her reasons.”

“Yeah, right…”

Seo-yoon muttered, tired of hearing about the Goddess. She closed the carriage window after responding nonchalantly.

Despite various reasons for staying in this place, she desperately wished to return to Korea during such moments.

She secretly pulled out her phone once she was sure the paladin was out of sight.

“If only the battery wasn’t an issue, I would keep checking…”

Since she couldn’t return home for a while, she only turned on her phone once every three days. As soon as the bright light of the phone came on, she finally felt a sense of relief.

“The last time I checked, it was moving only around here… So it must be someone living in this area, right? Ugh, hurry up and turn on already.”

As soon as the phone’s screen lit up, she quickly opened the app and the map. She zoomed in on the map, searching for the brightly shining dot she had seen near the capital.

“The brightest one, so this person must be of high rank.”

Thinking that she could finally have someone to order around like a minion, her lips curled up in satisfaction.

But then, her smile slowly faded as her fingers moved frantically.

“Where did it go?”

Three days ago, the dot that had been shining so brightly was nowhere to be found there. Seo-yoon was flabbergasted to see the largest dot now at a completely unexpected place.

“How did it get there in just three days? That’s impossible.”

Realizing that the largest dot was far away, Seo-yoon’s frustration boiled over.

“This is driving me crazy! Why can’t anything go right!”

In frustration, she ruffled her hair violently. It felt like someone was deliberately messing with her, making nothing go right.

“Damn it! So annoying!”

She kicked the wall of the carriage in irritation, only for the paladin to knock on the window again. Seo-yoon quickly hid her true feelings and opened the window.

“Is there something wrong, Saintess?”

“I just accidentally bumped into it.”

“Oh dear. We should have you treated immediately.”

Seo-yoon quickly reassured the overly serious paladin.

“No, it didn’t hurt at all. I’m sorry for causing unnecessary concern.”

“It can’t be. We exist to protect the saintess. Please, take back such words.”

Hiding her real thoughts, Seo-yoon smiled and suggested.

“But we should hurry. I have a bad feeling about this.”

“In that case, we will increase the speed.”

“Yes…”

Seo-yoon closed the window, but then asked the knight.

“By the way, where did you say this place is?”

“This is the Clausent domain, Your Eminence.”

“Ah, I see. How long would it take to reach the city to the west from here?”

“To the west… There are one or two fiefs there, but it would take about five days to reach the farthest one.”

“Ah, I see… What is the name of that place?”

“It is the Closch territory. The ruling household of that fief is in charge of the western outskirts of the capital.”

“Ah, the Closch domain…”

The familiar name made Seo-yoon unable to manage her expression properly.

She quietly closed the window. After the knight disappeared, her expression turned ice-cold.

“Uuuugh, damn Closch again. That f*cking family.”

Seo-yoon muttered a curse under her breath, thinking about Irene, who was blocking her path without even appearing.

“So annoying…”

The S+ ranked Guide must be either Irene or the girl Rose. She desperately hoped it was Rose this time. It was at a time like this that Seo-yoon sought the Goddess’s grace.
