“It’s okay if you don’t believe me.”
After speaking, he carefully inscribed a sentence on his palm.
Trust me, Reina.
Unable to write a reply due to her hands being tied, she simply nodded again this time.
Though unclear what exactly was happening, Paul was one of the few people Reina could trust.
Knock— Knock—
“Master, it is time.”
A chilling bass voice came from outside the door. Paul quickly wrote another small sentence on his hand.
It might get a little painful from here.
“…….”
As she blinked at him, Paul furrowed his brows and continued the sentence.
I’m sorry. Just bear with it a little longer.
As Reina nodded with her eyes closed and then opened them, signaling her understanding, he immediately recited a line contrary to the previous sentences.
“However, it seems necessary to subdue Reina first.”
A large hand loomed before Reina’s eyes. Her consciousness once again sank into the abyss.

BOOM—!!
In less than 10 seconds, half of Effitech’s building was blown away. The imperial knights scrambled to manage the shocking situation.
“P-Please calm down, Sir Gerard…!”
Ethan scanned the imperial knight trying to restrain him with a cold look.
“Calm down?”
A month ago, on his way back from the Dwarven Principality, he received a significant letter.
[ Reina is in danger. Those who see her as an enemy will soon take action. ]
Who sent it, who exactly these enemies were, or any specific information was absent in the letter.
But who was Ethan?
A person who becomes sensitive even to the slightest detail concerning Reina.
Thus, he did not take that warning lightly.
Moreover, the letter contained high magic that would cost selling five luxury mansions to inscribe. What madman would waste money on a prank letter?
So, he searched every corner of the capital with fiery eyes. He checked every echo that contained the word ‘Reina’.
But the problem was that his lover was not an ordinary person.
‘Ah, I just want to hold Lady Reina’s hand once.’
‘I always knew she’d make it big.’
‘If I had known this would happen, I would have befriended her sooner. To go from a Saintess to a Goddess.’
‘Ah… If only I could see the Saintess, I would even throw myself in front of a running carriage…’
In the current empire, it would be easier to count those who don’t know Reina than those who do, such is her fame.
Moreover, it’s not just one or two disturbing echoes. They are all suspicious and worthy of doubt.
Yet, he searched tirelessly day and night. Pretending not to miss the sweet voice of his lover, he put aside communications and searched everywhere with burning eyes.
But.
‘Reina, that woman. How can I keep her in check?’
Following that blood-boiling statement, there were fanatics planning all sorts of schemes.
‘Who would have thought that the disgrace of House Chantra would become such a precious being… Annoying.’
At the end of those malevolent echoes, there was nothing but the desperate struggles of a branch family member of House Chantra.
And was that all?
‘If only that girl Reina weren’t here…’
Behind those bitter words of blame filled with ambition was a low-ranking civil servant from the Ministry of Technology.
Yes. Really, all around Reina were enemies who envied her needlessly and coveted her as the saintess.
So, after returning from the Dwarven Principality, he forcibly kept his lover from going elsewhere, grabbing her by the ankles.
It was a tantrum born of insecurity, as he couldn’t even find the tail end of his enemy.
“I spared them all, as you asked. But why do you say you will leave? But why are you leaving. I did everything you told me to.”
Ethan knew it too. That it was nonsensical babble.
Still, he insisted.
Already ascended as a ‘Goddess,’ she was confident in her power through the divine power of Shan, surely she would throw herself into danger to tackle the forces threatening reform.
It was better for him to be a forceful lover than to watch his woman face those dangers.
‘And yet…’
She was kidnapped.
Despite all his vigilance, it was as if all his efforts were in vain as she disappeared.
Ethan, gritting his teeth, approached the trembling officials of the Bureau of Efficient Technology.
“Again.”
“Sir…?”
The dumbfounded response tested his patience, but Ethan struggled to maintain his composure.
Blood boiling, he wanted to turn the imperial palace into a field of flames, but he restrained himself, thinking Reina might still be inside.
“Report again.”
But perhaps it was his heavily laden words that intimidated them. The officials of Effitech just trembled instead of answering.
At this, Ethan slightly furrowed his eyebrows. At that moment, the still-intact part of the Effitech building collapsed with a loud boom.
Rumble! Crash!
“Ah! Help us!”
The imperial knights, restless in this situation, gathered their courage.
“Your Excellency, please calm down first…”
Ethan calmly looked down at his sheath.
“Calm down, you say.”
Unfortunately, there was no one here to stop the rampaging Ethan.
CRASH!!
As the building continued to crumble, dust filled the area, and everyone cowered in fear. Ethan slowly opened his eyes and stared intently at the imperial knight who had tried to calm him.
“Again. What did you tell me to do?”
