“The atmosphere here is better than I thought.”

Knight captain of the Third Order of the Red Thorns, Leo scanned his eyes over the Launcer village. What he said was in response to Vice Captain Zatro’s evaluation.

As the vice captain said, Launcer was incredibly lively despite it being wracked by the plague not too long ago.

Following the road leading from the entrance of the village, there was a central plaza with a small fountain at the center. Children were playing, laughing with carefree smiles upon their faces. They were like butterflies flitting around a flower garden.

“Captain. I shall go and announce your arrival first.”

“It’s not far away, so don’t wander anywhere else and come back quickly.”

“Really, what do you see me as… Yeah, fine.”

The plaza that the vice captain crossed had a welcoming warmth towards travelers.

The same was true of the private houses built around the plaza. It was a typical panoramic view of a normal rural village, with structures made out of thick wooden pillars, walls made from brick and lime, and orange roofs.

“That must be the Utta temple.”

Turning his head slightly, he could see a white building far away from this colorful and comfortable landscape.

With the other knights on standby behind him, Leo spoke to himself.

“You never really know what could happen in this world, huh.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Yes indeed. Our little troublemaker of House Chantra… It’s not enough that she defeated the plague, but she has even become a respectable person.”

In the end, countenance devoid of expression, Leo turned to face his men and warned them.

“Watch your tongues, all of you.”

“Tch. I mean, isn’t it the truth anyway?”

At that time, the vice captain’s voice rang loudly in the distance. Leo clicked his tongue as though he didn’t care about this vice captain of his, who was returning with a skip in his step.

“Captain! They told us to wait at the hall!”

“Be more careful with your tone and conduct,” Leo said.

Starting with himself, as he was already the captain of a knight order though he was just a commoner, they were already being looked down on as it was for being the third order. But this deputy of his was really so careless.

“What’s so important about appearances? I’m allowed to do this. Honestly, we’re stronger than the first order anyway, right?”

Listening to Vice Captain Zatro talking like some neighborhood gangster as he got back on his horse, Leo grimaced.

“You already have a terrible mouth, yet even your ears don’t work now.”

“Then Captain, shouldn’t you be the first to speak nicely since you’re yapping on about proper conduct?”

It was in one ear and out the next when it came to his subordinate’s words. Captain Leo simply kicked his horse on the side and urged it forward. The rest of the knights of the third order began to move again.

The sound of horse hooves thundering around him suddenly reminded him of what Marquis Chantra had said to him before they left.

“Haa… Captain Leo. If Reina ever tries to solve her problems by running away again, just use a rope and lug her back home.”

It had been a while now since Chantra’s troublemaker had turned into a saintess. Thanks to the treatment that she discovered, starting from the Bezak territory, the plague was slowly but surely disappearing from the empire.

Perhaps that’s why? People’s perception of her was turning rather radical.

“Right now, that child’s position has changed. So as soon as possible, we need to get that child to stand in front of the elder council before anyone else. Do you understand, Leo?”

As the words ‘elder council’ echoed repeatedly in his ears, the corners of Leo’s lips twisted upwards.

‘One spits something out if it’s bitter, but would swallow if it’s sweet.’

Really. Nothing changes as easily as a person’s mind.

“Saintess, the last patient has finally recovered fully!”

After discovering the effects of enca tea leaves, the nine households—including the Stymists and Penfounds—gathered in the Launcer village under the imperial family’s support.

Thanks to that, it was possible to quickly gather medical supplies to hasten the treatment of patients.

“In this way, humanity has overcome disaster once again.”

Everyone united and cheered at the declaration of the noble saintess.

All those present here, from the medical staff (the Utta priests), whose immaculately white holy robes had thus become scrubs, to the recovered patients, who started volunteering to help out as soon as they were able…

Everyone was in tears.

“Really… Thank you very much, Saintess…!”

“It’s all thanks to Your Eminence…!! Thank you, Saintess…!!”

Praise and cheers for Reina Chantra began to echo everywhere. They all had awe and admiration clearly pasted upon their expressions.

Well, except for two people.

“Reina, it’s time to go back.”

“That’s right, Noona. There’s no reason for you to care about this matter anymore, so you’ll take a break, right?”

These two men were so at odds with each other that they were like water and oil, but there was a reason why they were now joining forces with each other.

They needed to stop Reina. They knew very well that Reina wouldn’t rest even after she had developed a cure for the plague.

“But, umm… There’s still work to be done.”

As she descended from the dais, Reina shrugged as she said this. And in response, the two men, who were repeatedly begging her like children, exchanged knowing glances with each other.

‘She’s surely going to collapse any moment now.’

‘I agree, Your Excellency.’

Though they were reacting strongly like this, it was no exaggeration. Her face had become so gaunt that the baby fat in her cheeks could no longer be found.

“Reina. It’s not good for you to be involved in everything like this.”

As she had been contemplating for a moment to herself, her steps came to a halt. Ethan reached forward and naturally took her hand in his. Then, their eyes met.

“It is also a leader’s virtue to trust in their people to become independent.”

He had a point. Perhaps being swayed, Reina pursed her lips and hummed.

For a moment, Eli stared silently at their entwined hands. But he soon put on a forced smile and joined the conversation.

“That’s right, Noona. I know you want things to be perfect, but if you keep pushing yourself to do everything, it will all falter once you can’t do it anymore.”

“Exactly that, Reina. They have already fully acknowledged what needs to be done and which direction they should take, so now, you should trust them and leave it to them.”

“And you can’t personally go to all corners of the country if another infectious disease breaks out, can you?”

These two absolutely did not get along well with each other, but it was only at times like this that they were perfectly in tune, both intention and logic.

In the end, as she had been listening to their valiant persuasion, Reina burst into a peal of laughter.

‘I can see it with my eyes but I still don’t know. Are they on good terms or bad terms?’
