No.

　He uttered a denial.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure that if you return to me, the goddess will only use you in a less-than-ideal way. I'm afraid my precious Seras will be used up in ways that I don't want.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This princess doesn't seem to like her very much either.

　And you know this goddess well.

　Can you... hear her out?

'I ask you with a rude (blunt) question and a preparedness to ask - does Lady Cattleya have any antagonistic feelings towards the goddess Viscis?

　The princess loosens her eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes.'

　With a huff, Seras quickly touches his right ear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The right ear - I mean, I'm not lying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The princess has no fondness for the goddess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's confirmed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Incidentally, touching the left ear is a sign of "lying".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What's more, this princess--

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You consciously kept your answer short and to the point so that Seras could judge it as true?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Princess has just said "Yes".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The easiest way to tell if it's true or false is yes or no.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The princess had me test the truth with Seras.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It would be easier to tell the difference.　The shorter the gut wrenching, the better.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You could use a "lie detector" instead of mere words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So that's what you think.

　Naturally, if you don't know the power of Selous' wind spirit, you can't get this move. ......

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason he is feeling guilty is probably because he used a true/false judgment against the princess-sama.

''In other words, Cattleya-sama doesn't want to bring Seras and the goddess together?''

'Of course. Otherwise, I don't know what I would have done to get Seras out of the castle at that time. Therefore, you can visit ......

'May I continue to entrust Seras to you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But ...... is this person you're depositing it with?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, this is the man Seras is so fond of.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instantly, the two holy knights who had been waiting for it suddenly changed their complexion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　"What?!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought I heard the surprise of such a mind of the two holy knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As for Seras.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hime Sama!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reaction was a surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the princess didn't look at Seras.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As it was, she looked up at me and smiled at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

''What, is there a problem?''

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, ...... because I care about Selous very much, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Seras is special to you as well, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are you treating her like a woman?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I intend to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The princess's mouth twists into a grin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's sometimes a good idea to be able to judge the truth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The princess untied her hands and slowly pulled away from me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I looked at the pounding face of Seras.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I've given Seras a lot of offers before you came. Would you be willing to hear it from her mouth?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After the battle, Seras gave little information about me to the princess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the princess was able to tell Seras this and that before I arrived.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... This princess, this princess, had been expecting this kind of flow from the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

''Of course, let's hear it.''

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Seras, will you please convey my wishes to Lord Belzegia?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seras tightens his expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'If there's anything we can help with, the Princess will help us. As a thank you for this battle and ...... for saving me from the hands of the Black Knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　More to the point, it would be in the form of saving the princess from her father.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the Holy King who asked him to kill Selous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But ...... this princess-sama might have come up with that possibility as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had a dim hunch when I heard the story from Selous, but .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This princess is quite pissed off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it's an ally, it seems reassuring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the other hand, if you turn them into an enemy, they might be a troublesome opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them. There's only so much I can do to repay you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　'Then,' I said, opening my mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'When they ask where we are going, will you tell them we are headed north?

North?

Yes. If you can tell him that I was talking about heading north from now on when I said goodbye .......

No problem.

　The real next stop is the west.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, ...... it's a kind of disturbance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All the princess has to do is tell the goddess exactly what I say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I won't be accused of perjury.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the need arises, you can just say "Berzegia gave me false information.

　Afterwards, I gave the princess a few more requests.

　But...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that really all you need to know?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The princess looked beaten down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably because none of them were much of a request.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once again, I don't want you to help me so much.
