Love Letter From The Future

3. Dragon’s Eye, Human Mind (11)

Daeshinjeon has been with the history of the academy for more than a thousand years.

The pure white marble, which could not withstand the wind and waves of the years, had sunk to gray, and although teeth were chipped here and there, the inside was still magnificent.

The antique historical architecture exudes a solemn atmosphere in itself. It was the same with the Great War of the Academy.

In front of the house of the great celestial god, who compels silence and humility to visitors, I moved my steps while listening to the resounding hymn.

A service seemed to be in progress. I wondered if the saintess was also participating, so my gait became awkward.

It would be nice if it wasn’t a waste of time, but the person who could relieve my worries appeared soon after.

It was Yu-ren, a man with jade-colored hair and androgynous appearance.

He was guarding the front of a prayer room and my eyes met. Yuren immediately smiled and raised his hand to greet them.

“It’s been a while, Ian.”

“… … Yuren.”

As soon as I saw him, I sighed deeply.

Yuren was the guardian of the saintess. The fact that he was waiting at the door meant that the saintess was staying inside.

And now, the room Yuren was guarding was the ‘prayer room’. Naturally, there was no choice but to conclude that the saintess was praying.

It was not polite to interrupt a believer who was praying. Even more so if you are a priest and not an ordinary person.

I scratched my head with a puzzled expression. It seemed that I would have to wait for a while.

Yuren seemed to have guessed the general situation by seeing my constantly changing expression. He sighed and burst into laughter.

“Do you have something to do with your sister today?”

“Well, for now.”

It wasn’t really a problem to hide, so I nodded my head obediently. Then, Yuren, who swallowed his saliva, immediately opened the way for me.

My puzzled gaze turned to him. However, Yuren just shrugged his shoulders and trembled.

“My sister has been praying a lot lately… Who do you think you are praying for?”

Of course, it wasn’t the kind of question I could answer.

I still don’t know the feelings of Celine, whom I grew up with since childhood, but I didn’t have the means to look into the heart of the saintess, a master of prudence.

Yuren didn’t even seem to expect an answer from me in the first place. He pointed to the doorknob again and invited us to enter.

After hesitating for a moment, I finally took a stride and grabbed the handle.

Isn’t it none other than Yuren’s guarantee?

Since they said that they were almost like brother and sister, he must have known the saintess’ feelings better than I did.

Even so, I couldn’t shake off a bit of anxiety. Carefully, as quietly as possible, my body entered the room.

It was a dark room with no lights.

There was ample space for several people to pray. Light leaked in from a small window, creating the only light source.

A beam of light leads to a diagonal line. Beneath the golden baptism, I saw a woman kneeling with her hands together.

The sunlight streamed down through her silver hair. It was invisible because of her closed eyelids, but there must have been jewel-like light pink eyes hidden inside.

Pure white skin with no blemishes, and feminine curves that can be felt even through priestly clothes.

It was an existence without a part that was not beautiful. Rather, it was more believable that the cheonsin was an artwork created in the sky to prove its existence.

She was a pretty woman at all times. Since she kept her mouth shut, she showed off her beauty to the extent that even I stopped breathing for a moment.

Yes, if you keep your mouth shut.

A murmur and prayer was recited from her mouth.

“Lord, please save this lamb… My heart is dizzy at the thought of a man who is violent, has a bad personality, and is even cocky. Is this also a trial from the Lord? Oh, sure, that’s a little cool. Also, judging from his care for orphans, he is kind, knows how to love the weak, and is a man who is rarely frank and calculating. I am not a bad person… … .”

As I listened to the words flowing back and forth, I put on a puzzled expression.

I don’t know about the second half, but the first half was about me no matter how much I thought about it. However, the saintess still did not notice my presence.

After mumbling in an inaudible voice for a long time, she spoke with a determined look in her eyes, as if she were a heroine of tragic love.

“If this is also the will of the Lord, I will obey. Ooh, fate can’t help it, yes. that, right? Since you are a saint, you must follow the will of the Lord… … .”

“… … What are you doing?”

Now, my indifferent question was thrown at her, who was repeating her self-answer.

The saintess’ reaction was immediate.

She trembled in shock as if she had been electrocuted, then immediately stood up and looked back at me. A look of bewilderment was evident in those pale pink eyes.

“Huh, huh?! who, who… Eh, Ian? uh, uh, how… … !”

And then, the saintess’s gaze secretly turned to my waist.

Thinking I knew what she was thinking, I sighed and declared.

“I didn’t break it in with an axe. Yuren opened the door and came in.”

The saintess’s eyes alternately inspected me and the door behind me. Only after that did the saintess feel relieved, and she wiped her chest.

“Hey, I’m glad. If I didn’t, there would have been a problem with the school rules.”

“What the hell do you think of me… … .”

There was no answer to my dejected voice. The saintess ran her hair through her hair, tidied up her appearance, and cleared her throat.

Then, looking into my eyes, she asked me.

“So, why did you come in? You certainly don’t intend to interrupt the saintess’s prayers and say there was no business, are you?”

Hearing those arrogant words, I felt a sense of mischief rising in my heart. I asked, bursting out laughing.

“What if there was no business?”

At my questioning, the saintess’s eyebrows narrowed slightly. She opened her mouth as if she was dumbfounded.

“What nonsense is that… … .”

However, her voice, which seemed to be arguing at first, gradually faded towards the end. Soon there was silence, and the saintess stared at me blankly.

She hesitated and averted my gaze.

“Wh, what, what… Or are you trying to say that you missed it? oh, no way… … .”

A pale blush appeared on the saintess’ pale cheeks. Those pale pink eyes glanced over my movements. So I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

The answer that came out of my mouth was plain.

“Of course not, I came here today because I have business.”

The saintess’ eyes, which contained subtle expectations, cooled. Before she could even open her mouth with a confused look on her face, I decided to get straight to the point.

“Have you met me before?”

Now it was the saintess’ turn to throw a puzzled look at me.

Hmm, the saintess’ eyes narrowed while making a strange sound. What was the intention, the eyes full of doubts.

I had to add a supplementary explanation right away.

“You can tell me roughly what happened then. In fact, I was a person from the future… … .”

“Are you still pushing that setting? That, the ‘me’ of the organization and the ‘me’ of the academy are different beings?”

Setting up, at best I opened my heart and told the truth.

My expression instantly turned grumpy, but the saintess only giggled and laughed.

I just did that. Suddenly, a personality from the future possesses and leaves, committing all sorts of eccentricities.

It was nonsense. The saintess looked like she heard a funny joke.

“What, have you become a little more sincere? It’s a personality from the future… Um, looking back, I felt something different. I didn’t feel as happy as I do now… … .”

“I’m happy?”

As soon as the saintess was talking to herself, her complexion froze as soon as she heard my words, and jumped up on the spot.

“Mu, mu, what are you talking about! Well, since I’m a saint, of course I feel the greatest joy when I’m in the arms of the heavenly god Arus. But, as if being alone with a man outside, it was a stupid idea to say that he was happy… Alas, Lord! Today, He is testing this Lamb… … !”

I felt like I was getting dizzy from the storm of words that rained down. So I had no choice but to stop her immediately.

“uh… Okay. Okay, now calm down.”

Perhaps it was only then that she came to her senses, and the saintess stood tall and stopped talking. Then, he coughed cutely, saying, “Kuh-hum,” and soon took care of his complexion.

There was still a slight blush on his cheeks, but I decided not to point it out.

“… … Oh, anyway, what happened then? Nothing happened. He just came to me out of nowhere, asked for something and left.”

what did you ask for?

I finally got a clue, and a strangeness formed in my eyes. I immediately asked the saintess.

“What did you ask for?”

“Yes, ‘Holy Water’.”

‘Holy water’ literally means holy water.

Holy water with concentrated divine power had the characteristics of being colorless, odorless, and tasteless, so it was not easy to distinguish it from water. However, the efficacy was vastly different.

I heard that if you drink it, you will enjoy a thousand lives, or even if you don’t, it was worth thousands of gold.

The question in my eyes deepened. Then the saintess began to boast of the efficacy of the holy water with a proud expression.

“Really, do you know how expensive it is? Holy water is basically effective in healing wounds, but it also has the effect of washing away all sorts of curses and magical abnormalities. For example, the emperor of the empire orders an enormous amount of holy water every year to the holy country, and according to rumors, there is a story of taking a bath with holy water… … .”

At the same time, he seemed to want to subtly remind me that looking at me gave me something so great. To put it bluntly, it was condescending.

But now my attention was elsewhere. Suddenly, there was a part in the saintess’ explanation that I asked.

“… … Does it wash away curses or magical abnormalities?”

The saintess stared blankly at me, as if she did not understand the intention of my question for a moment. The hesitation did not last long.

The saintess looked at her face as if she was interested in that verse, and said it insignificantly.

“Yes, rather speaking, high-ranking aristocrats consider that to be the best among the efficacy of holy water. One effect is certain. Maybe you can even wash away the curse of the dark cult? Instead, you should not drink it and spray it on your body.”

My eyes widened when I heard that.

I suddenly had a thought, so I fumbled and scanned my waist. And as soon as I felt the heavy weight, I gave strength to my hand.

It was a canteen. Something that has been with me for a long time.

As soon as she saw the canteen, the saintess let out a surprised exclamation.

“Yes, that canteen! You put what was still in the bottle into that clunky thing! What, remembering… … .”

The saintess’ grunting voice tickled her ears. But now my interest has long since shifted elsewhere.

The boy who was defeated in the alleyway said that I had poured water from a canteen on the princess.

Of course, that was just a factual relationship. There could have been minor errors. However, if the hungry spirit fits so tightly, it is inevitable that the weight of the new reasoning will be put on.

In the future, ‘I’ sprinkled holy water. to the princess

why the hell

If he had been cursed, he would have been able to inform the princess of the danger in a more delicate way. Because when she was a princess, she could cast even the most subtle curse.

The skills of the magicians dispatched from the imperial family were just as reliable.

Unable to understand the reason for provoking the princess in the first place, I pressed my temples to calm my throbbing head.

No matter how you think about it, it was a handshake. As a result, my range of action was further limited.

It was because they couldn’t get the cooperation of the imperial nobility.

As I grunted in agony, the saintess looked at me with a slightly surprised look. A look of concern was evident in those pale pink eyes.

“it’s okay? Perhaps, is it because of the princess?”

It was a matter of course, but it seemed that the saintess had already heard about the clash between me and the princess.

Her true intentions were different, but the saintess’ words were true. So I nodded my head with a slightly confused feeling.

“… … yes, what.”

Despite my acknowledgment, the saintess was staring blankly at me.

A look of incomprehension, so I turned my questioning gaze back to her.

It was long after that that the saintess’ mouth opened.

“So, what are you thinking?”

Again, an unknown question.

As my eyes slowly turned to her, the saintess pounded on my chest, as if feeling stuffy now.

The chest flexion, which was full of presence, rippled and the elasticity was visually realized. It was a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.

The saintess asked me again with an annoyed expression.

“That princess! With what confidence did I touch you?”

What nonsense, I looked at the saintess with such a feeling.

I was only the second son of a country viscount. Even if they had ties to powerful people like the saintess, Delphine senior, and Elsie senior, even if they were all together, they couldn’t deal with the imperial family. I was the one who had to bend over and enter.

However, the saintess looked genuinely frustrated, so I had no choice but to tilt my head.

What, is there a secret of my birth that I don’t know about?

Then, the saintess finally let out a voice, as if her frustration had reached its peak.

“You have the ‘dragon blood letter’! But what kind of confidence does the princess have to touch you!”

At those words, a bolt of lightning flashed through my mind.

Yes, there was a ‘dragon blood letter’.
