The carriage Ichidou, carrying the saint, arrived at the royal capital. The two Kingsguard knights who were in charge of Cain's escort were ahead of him to the King's Capital, and even the residents of the King's Capital had been swept away the day before.
　As they ducked through the gates of the royal capital, a large number of residents overflowed into the path of the carriage, while the guards were busy controlling traffic.
　The two residents who flocked to catch a glimpse of the saint surprised Cain and Silk.

'I didn't expect to see so many people here: ...... It's really amazing.

'You're all here to catch a glimpse of the saints. It's kind of like being blessed with our wedding parade.

......

　The carriage is advancing through the royal capital, smiling at Silk's unexpected delusion. The carriage arrived at the royal castle through the residential area and through the nobleman's district.
　Cain and his friends got out of the carriage ahead of me and joined the line of nobles lined up in front of the castle to greet me.
　From the carriage in front of the castle, a holy woman dressed in a white gold embroidered robe stepped out of the carriage with her hand held by a handmaid.
　Cain didn't mind as he had accompanied her for a few days, but the nobles who had never seen her before were admiring her beauty.

'She looks divine, even though she still looks so young. ......

　Such words leak out from the nobles.
　The bishop who is sent to the Kingdom of Esfort first greets her and leads the saint to the royal castle.
　Cain and other noblemen follow him. Then the bishop and the saint went to the antechamber once, while Cain and the other lowly nobles proceeded directly to the audience room.
　The people lined up outside the castle to greet them are the lower nobles below the viscount, while the higher nobles are already lined up in the audience chamber. Cain is also in line for the same viscount.
　Then the royal family members appeared and the king sat on the throne.

''Then it's time for the saintly lady to appear.

　After the attendant calls out, the door is opened and two people, a saint and a bishop, enter side by side.
　At the front of the throne, they stop, kneel down and hang their heads.

'Raise your masks.'

　The king's voice comes through and both the bishop and the saint look up.
　The king smiles and calls out to the saints.

The king smiles and says to the saint, "Thank you for your efforts on your journey. I have already received the report from the guards. I have already heard about the attack. My guards are excellent, despite their young age, aren't they?

Yes, I would like to thank Master Cain for his help in escorting me many times. If it weren't for Master Cain, we would never have made it this far.

　The saint smiled a divine smile and answered the king's question. The king nods at her words and speaks in a whisper to Magna, the vizier.
　The words are then continued from Magna.

'Viscount Silford, before.'

　Suddenly called out and a little upset, Cain walked out of the line and walked next to the bishop, kneeling and hanging his head in the same way.

'Cain von Silford Drintle, here.

Heads up.

　Cain looked up at the sound of the king's voice.

'Cain, thank you for escorting the saintly lady on this occasion. You will be rewarded separately. You can get the details from Magna later.

Haha, thank goodness for that.

　The king nodded at Cain's reply and continued.

He nodded in reply to Cain and continued, "Your Highness must be tired from your long journey. This audience is concluded. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it. Bishop, take care of the rest.

　The bishop next to Cain nodded at the king's words.
　The audience ended and they dispersed. Cain was called into another room and ushered into his usual reception room.
　A few moments later, the King, Prime Minister Magna, Duke Eric, and Deputy Knight Commander Dime entered.

''Thank you for keeping me waiting, so let's hear the story again on the road. I've heard more or less from my bodyguard's kinsmen. Is there anything else?

　Cain nodded at the king's words.
　The feud between the Papal faction and the saintly faction, and that there were people within this Esfort Kingdom who were working in the dark to make the saintly woman a deceased person. The fact that the foodstuffs had been planted with poison on the road. That they wrapped the incense around the demon's incense instead of avoiding the demon, etc. Cain explains it in order.

'I see ....... So it was the right choice to choose your Lord as your escort. Miss Silk was chosen because of her age, but if it wasn't for you, even Miss Silk, including the saintly lord, would have been in danger .......

　There was a guard of knights in the Kingsguard, but some of them had preceded to the royal castle, and there were only eight of them left. Even though there were many low-ranking people, they wouldn't be unharmed if they were attacked by that many demons.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. Thank you so much.

　Cain smiles at Duke Eric, who thanks him.

'Miss Silk is my fiancée, so it's only natural that I would protect her.

　Eric smiled and nodded at the words.

I'm going to give you ten white gold coins as your reward. I will give you ten white gold coins as your reward. The redevelopment of the city will require a lot of money, right? You can add to that.

Thank you.

And so, the saint will be there. I wanted to announce your engagement. Telestia has been asking me, "When will you make the announcement? Moreover, since I have not announced it, I've been asked by one of the country's most respected aristocrats to help arrange a match with you. Information is now known throughout the country that he has such a talent for warfare, and that he has managed to keep that troubled pariah, Drindel, in check. It's not good to have him come to me and Magna every day to plead with me.

　Prime Minister Magna nodded in agreement with the king's words.

'For such a thing: ......'

'Mm, I'll have you as the main escort for this saint's inspection, and I'll make an announcement on the last day's supper. I'm counting on you.

I understand.

　Cain is lost in the thought that the announcement is finally coming. Although he's only ten years old, he's been knighted as a baronet, has three fiancées and feels tied to the country, but he's not uncomfortable with it.
　He returns to his own mansion and enters his office after talking to Coran and Sylvia.
　I look through the papers and letters, but they are still mainly arranged letters. At the same time, there is no such thing as a photograph in this world where sending a picture of your daughter painted on campus has become the norm. If you have an artist draw a picture of you and send it to him or her, and you like it, you often have an arranged marriage ceremony.
　Corran explained to me that when you actually meet someone, you often get a young lady who is far removed from the picture.
I make a mental note to spread the pictures to this world one day, and I look through the papers that Coran has organized and placed on the floor.
　Tomorrow, he is scheduled to conduct an inspection of the kingdom, and Cain will serve as his escort and guide. He will go to the church and then inspect the castle town afterwards. It's a job that we can't relax because we don't know what the Papal faction will try to do to us.
　And the night went on, thinking that he would meet with the gods again when he went to church.

　Early in the morning, Cain left the mansion and headed for the royal castle by carriage. This time, it was Cain's carriage that would be guiding the saints. In truth, the church could have prepared a carriage for the saints, but considering the fear that the people would gather and make it impossible for them to pass, they devised this plan.
　The papal guards were concerned, but they were reluctantly convinced by Prime Minister Magna. It would be unbearable for the Prime Minister to have a saint assassinated in the country. This decision was made precisely because Prime Minister Magna knows Cain's true nature.
　Cain parked his carriage near the entrance of the castle and waited. Soon the door is opened and a saint, accompanied by Silk, comes out. The bishop has already returned to the church and is preparing for today's inspection.
　The captain of the Church's guard is convinced about the carriage, but he is adamant that he will accompany us, and he and the Kingdom's side will send out two guards each, for a total of four people to accompany us.

(Honestly, there's no point in having four of them. ......)

　Even if the guards gather a thousand people, they are honestly not Cain's enemies. In terms of military strength and magic power, Cain, who has already become a sub-god, is the strongest creature in this world.
　While waiting next to the carriage, a holy woman accompanied by a handmaidens came out.
　Cain led her into the carriage. The carriage then left for the church.
　No one thought that the saint was riding in a nobleman's carriage, and they arrived at the church without incident. In the church, swords are forbidden except in an emergency, so the four bodyguards had to wait in the carriage.

''Lord Cain, if you need anything, you know ...... right?''
　Both Cain and the saint were ushered into the altar room by the sisters who were doing the reception and were ushered into the altar room. The bishop was already ready and waiting.

'Thank you for your patience, Lady Saint. Please come this way.

　The saint nods and proceeds to the front of the altar. Then she gives Cain a look and beckons him to join her.

'Come this way, Lady Cain.'

　Cain did as he was urged and knelt down next to the saint.
　Then they both prayed together, and as usual, the area in front of them turned white.
　The next thing they knew, there was a large table in front of them, surrounded by seven gods.
　I relaxed my cheeks at the usual sight and bowed and greeted them.

''It's been a while. I'm visiting the church today as the saint's escort.

Yes, I know. Well, take that empty seat over there, both of you.

What ......?

　Cain turns back in response to a voice that says "both of you".
　Cain's eyes widen when he sees the person standing behind him.

　The saint who was praying next to him was standing there in a state of abandonment.

''Eeeeee!　Why are you here?

　Cain's words echoed through God's world.
