Time-Limited Saintess, You’ve Been Caught by the Tyrant Once Again - Chapter 28

Chapter 14.2

˚ ·: * ✧ * :· ˚

Maynard couldn’t help but sense something peculiar among the Angelias lately. As the protector of the Saint, he wouldn’t tolerate any disrespect towards her. However, he couldn’t ignore the noticeable difference in the bond between Angelias and the Saint, especially when it came to Ellin.

The truth that had remained concealed since the Holy Spirit Festival was slowly unraveling before his eyes.

The commoner Angelia was a truly noble person who sincerely worshiped the gods, but for them, it was unforgivable to them that Ellin received attention.

All of the Angelias completely ignored her. Even Maynard could feel that coldness.

Perhaps it was an obvious matter that he couldn’t understand.

After all, Ellin wasn’t of noble birth like the others. She stood out like a thorn among the Angelias, disrupting the harmony of their well-groomed garden. She was akin to a wildflower, an anomaly that should have been eradicated, but the circumstances of those in power forced her to grow against all odds.

Even though he disapproved of her, that didn’t mean he didn’t feel uncomfortable watching this.

No, to be precise, ever since the performance of the Holy Spirit Festival, he had occasionally heard her melodic singing in his dreams.

He glanced at Ellin and clicked his tongue.

‘…With such clumsiness and lack of skill.’

However, he knew it wasn’t his place to speak. To begin with, his duty as the protector of the Saint always came first, and he was committed to fulfilling that role without compromise.

Yet, he couldn’t help but question Ellin’s appearance.

‘What are those shabby clothes? Why doesn’t anyone in the temple buy her clothes? Besides, why does High Priest Erich let her stay in the temple like this after seeing the situation?’

Maynard found himself annoyed that Angelia, who was meant to serve a saint, appeared so poorly dressed.

“Lennon.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t mention to anyone that I said this, but buy that lady at least a set of clothes.”

“…Yes?”

“Wouldn’t it be a disgrace to the Saint’s reputation if she were dressed like that?”

A dull brown dress…

What she was wearing was even worse than Lisa, the Saint’s maid.

Naturally, appearances were significant when it came to building relationships with others, as having a similar level of grooming and presentation often helped establish a sense of camaraderie. He couldn’t help but reflect on how it all began and the importance of appearances in social interactions.

“I see.”

Lennon, known for his astuteness as a paladin, was trusted by the Angelias, who didn’t hesitate to confide in him. It seemed that his amiable nature also worked in favor of Ellin, as he engaged in conversation with her without hesitation.

Her eyes widened with surprise, and she nodded in response, a hint of joy evident on her face.

Unbeknownst to Maynard, his normally stiff lips relaxed, unintentionally revealing a subtle change in expression as he looked at her. Ellin appeared genuinely pleased to be given new clothes. Of course, as a commoner, purchasing such items for herself was out of the question. At

At the same time, he felt a strange discomfort dissipate, as if his concerns were alleviated to some extent.

Chtcht.

When Ellin and his eyes met, she greeted him. Maynard gritted his teeth.

‘He said it, that b*stard…’

Meanwhile, Lennon smirked maliciously at him. Nonetheless, he couldn’t say anything because of the beaming smile on Ellin’s face.

‘I’ll have to tell you to shut his mouth later. If anyone found out that a paladin had provided clothes for her, there could potentially create complications and raise problems.’

Maynard thought so.
