Love Letter From The Future

3. Dragon’s Eye, Human Mind (67)

The academy has regained peace.

The investigation was in the final stages, and after a thorough search, all the remnants of the demons had been subjugated.

Fortunately, another traitor did not appear within the academy.

Of course, the Dark Church was the group that planted the puppets in the closest aides of the imperial family. It was unknown whether the ganja was hiding inside the academy, but at least no one was involved in the raid.

It was the result of a careful investigation by the joint investigation team of the Empire, the Holy Kingdom, and the Southern Ten Kingdoms. It was hard to doubt this, and at last the students of the academy prepared for their belated return home.

It was an academy where there hadn’t been a single day of peace since the monster’s attack.

The student who had been treated as a public enemy out of nowhere was revered as a hero, but the princess, who was made a scapegoat instead, cried out in a broken spirit on the roadside.

And above all, the chain of violence that took place on that central boulevard.

The assailant was a man who had been elevated from public enemy to hero through raids. His name is Ian Percus.

It was me.

To be honest, it was a rather impulsive decision.

It was right after he had barely come to his senses after being in a coma for a long time. However, I couldn’t help feeling absurd to hear that the princess I had saved so far was being destroyed due to past wounds.

It was a situation that no one even guessed the cause.

At least, senior Neris and other newspaper members seemed to know the general circumstances. However, after the last newspaper raid, their command authority was entrusted to me.

In other words, there was no way for the Imperial Intelligence Service, which had to serve its superiors, to use its hands.

In fact, I still had some discretion, so I hoped that something would be taken, but there was always a gap between the ideal and the reality.

After all, I had never confided my feelings to the Imperial Intelligence Service. The Imperial Intelligence Service would have had to pay attention as well, so after all, it was self-sufficient.

That’s why I took steps to untie that knot.

As a result, the effect was outstanding.

No one who hated the princess was left at the academy anymore, and on the contrary, public opinion of sympathy was rising. However, there were no bad reviews about me, so everything went well.

At least on the surface it seemed so.

That same day, the saintess came early in the morning to admonish me for running out of the hospital room without permission.

She tried to raise her voice with an angry expression, but as soon as she saw me, she showed a puzzled look.

“Ian… Yesterday, for sure, I said it was impossible to exercise for a while… … ! Ian?”

Rarely, my hands were shaking.

“Whoa,” he sighed, but it was hard to hide his nervousness.

Even so, I forced myself to smile, saying that I would not show off.

“Ah, saintess.”

“… … What’s going on?”

The eyes of the saintess who asked that question were already cold. Suspicion gleamed in those pale pink eyes.

It was worth it. Because I was the one who never trembled even in the face of a life crisis.

As a saintess, it was the first time she had seen me nervous.

However, there were circumstances in which it could be said and there were circumstances in which it could not.

I still couldn’t help but shake my head with a wry smile.

“it’s nothing. It looks like the muscle pain hasn’t subsided yet.”

how can i say

Those words that Neris-senpai, who secretly came to me early this morning, told me.

The imperial family was planning to visit me now.

He said he would come in a few days, but it was related to the Dragon Blood text message. Of course, it was obvious that the opponent would also be dispatched with a person of equal importance.

At least he must have been the owner of the dragon blood character.

And for a person of that level, there existed the power and authority to erase without a trace the second son of a rural viscount.

No, it would have been better if he had just quietly killed him.

Even if they tried to exterminate the family and tortured me with all sorts of charges against the imperial family, I had nothing to say.

It was said that it was to save the world, but in the end, it was obvious that it would take a long process to make them believe.

It made me tired and worried.

It was not enough for me to grunt for a long time, and that was the reason why even my hands were shaking.

Of course, it was impossible to explain all of these detailed circumstances to the saintess. If it’s me and her, maybe someday I’ll be able to tell the truth, but that wasn’t today.

Even if she said it anyway, the saintess couldn’t afford to help. Because there were only a few days left.

So I had no choice but to cough and clear my throat.

“… … It is real.”

“Who said what?”

It was a saintess who scolded and snorted like that, but her pale pink gaze showed no sign of leaving my face for a while.

It was to the point of being burdened by those eyes that were carefully examining me.

In the end, I had no choice but to let out a long sigh.

“Holy Lady.”

“… … Heh, why?”

With silver hair, she was showing off that she was pouting. On the contrary, he kept glancing at me as if asking to know my heart, so it must not have been an illusion.

I thought I had mastered the female mind through Leto’s fast-paced lecture.

However, that illusion was shattered without a doubt whenever a new challenge was encountered day by day. I can guess why the saintess was upset, but I couldn’t figure out how to appease her.

I felt that we were close to each other, but it would be sad if we were hiding something.

After thinking about what to do, I finally chose to avoid it.

My mouth brought up another topic.

“Come to think of it, how is Her Highness the Princess?”

“Oh, that woman… … .”

At my question, the saintess put on a slightly puzzled expression. She slightly averted her eyes, but as if realizing it, she sent a coy look and asked.

“I heard you got beaten up? Were you worried about that?”

“No, what… It’s similar, though.”

To be precise, I was more worried about the ‘dragon blood text’.

Fanning the imperial family from the main road could have been seen as an insult to the imperial family. However, as long as the princess mentioned ‘the honor of the imperial family’, the imperial family would not openly step forward.

However, the dragon blood character was different.

This was no different from the power symbolizing the legitimacy of the imperial family. No matter how shocking it was to fan the princess on the roadside, it was not as important as the news that the dragon blood letters were leaked.

It was an impromptu answer because she couldn’t explain the situation, but the saintess nodded as if she understood.

It was thanks to the knowledge of how fearful the imperial family was to imperial nobles.

“Do not worry too much. I went to treat her, and I was very… Did you like the taste?”

Did you taste it?

I tilted my head, but the saintess only gave me a meaningful smile.

“So I did a bit of training and came back. It won’t come out later.”

“… … You didn’t do anything strange, did you?”

“Is it strange? It just made me realize my position again. Anyway, the reason you got seriously injured was because she was incompetent.”

A groan escaped from my mouth again.

That wasn’t wrong.

Failure to manage his entourage was the responsibility of the leader. It could be said that giving the Dark Priest an opportunity to dig in was the princess’s sin.

Of course, it was a harsh story.

It was such a heavy burden for a girl who had just become an adult, but since she was born into the royal family, her rights and duties were equal.

I couldn’t take one of the two.

Understanding that, I sighed and said nothing more.

If the situation becomes strange later, it is not too late to stop him then. Rather, the problem facing me now was more urgent.

When my expression became serious again, the saintess let out a strange voice.

Her pale pink eyes narrowed. Sitting on the chair next to my bed, she pricked my side with her fingers.

“Well, are you hiding something? Tell me now.”

“What would you like me to tell you?”

The saintess seemed even more curious about my detached voice.

Perhaps even reaching the child, the saintess began to persuade me with a somewhat charming tone.

“Stop saying that, tell me, okay? It’s between us.”

“What’s between us?”

At my question, the saintess gave an expression that she was awake for a moment.

But that was only for a moment, and she let out a deep sigh as if she hadn’t expected it.

After, the saintess said with a determined face.

“… … Okay, then tell me your secret and I’ll grant you a wish.”

“wish?”

The saintess nodded her head with a benevolent smile at my voice that leaked out in a daze.

It was a look I hadn’t seen in a long time.

Her beauty was enough to make the hearts of many men flutter. Before I knew it, my chest was also causing a throbbing amplitude.

However, the reason I started to get excited was a little different.

It was not because I was impressed by the saintess’ beauty, but because I had a flashing memory that flashed through my mind.

Come to think of it, I made a promise with the saintess.

It was a bet that if everything was solved and returned, one wish would be granted.

The saintess didn’t seem to recall that memory yet. On the contrary, she did not even know that she was in danger and secretly supported her breasts with her arms to emphasize them.

It was like a butterfly caught in a spider web flapping its wings.

The saintess’ coquettish voice soaked my ears.

“Yes, wish… I’ll listen to anything.”

I couldn’t hide my anticipation and asked again.

“If it’s a wish, can I do anything?”

Then the saintess smiled slightly as if she knew that. An attractive line was drawn that would take your breath away.

The woman’s arms were lifted slightly, and the curve of her chest became more prominent.

And the final blow that was spat out.

“… … Yes, sure. Is that a wish?”

Then there was no need to hesitate any longer.

My hand immediately grabbed the saintess’ elastic flesh.
