"--Lord Cain: ...... That poison cannot be detoxified by me. It would be impossible to detoxify it except for the Pope or a saint. ......

　The words that came from the bishop with a bright blue face were words of resignation.

　With those words, Cain decided to cast a magic he had yet to cast in public to save Hinata's life.

'Perfecoo.'

　At that moment, the door was suddenly opened.
　It was the captain of the guard who entered the room with great vigor.
　He was in a hurry, and thanks to the fact that I left him behind, his face was red and angry.

'Lord Cain, how dare you take the saint without our guards!　Besides, how can the kingdom be held responsible for something like this?

　Cain is irritated when the breathing escort captain stops his recovery magic. It is true that it is a problem to leave the target even though you are in the position of an escort. No matter how much the words of the captain of the escort.

'Captain of the guards, you were attacked while I was off?　What were you doing when the saint was attacked: ......

　The captain of the guard gives a bitter look at those words.

''I will cast a recovery spell on you now. You must leave.''

　At Cain's words, the captain of the guard shows his refusal.

''Why should we, the saint's guards, be excused from our seats?　It will be Lord Cain who will have to step out of his seat.

　Thinking that he wouldn't be able to make it in time, Cain unleashed his killing qi only at the captain of the guards.
　There was no way an ordinary person could maintain consciousness under the killing qi of Cain, who already possessed the title of a sub-god, in a decent amount of time.
　In an instant, the captain of the guard collapsed with white eyes.
　After gently supporting his collapsing body and laying it on the floor, Cain turned to Hinata.
　The bishop's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of him.

''Bishop, I'm going to use magic now. This magic is not something that can be unspoken. You can choose to leave your seat or not to speak of it.''

　The bishop thought for a few seconds at the seriousness of Cain's expression - he nodded.

'I won't interfere. Let me see to it.

　Cain nodded and released a magic that kneaded the magic.

''Perfect Heel.''

　A divine golden light emitted from Cain and enveloped Hinata's entire body. And when the light disappeared, Hinata's face turned red.
　Cain looked at Hinata's face and nodded his head in agreement after confirming that he had detoxified her.

''Well, that magic is ......

　The bishop saw Cain's magic behind him, and his whole body was shaking. --and bowed his head on both knees.

'Are you the apostle ...... Cain-sama is .......'

　Cain broke out in a cold sweat at the sight of it.

''No ...... that's not the case. ......

　Cain denies it, but the bishop shakes his head.

'No, there is no doubt about it. It is stated in the scriptures. That it is the Apostle of God who wears a golden aura and chants magic.

　Cain, who didn't know such a scripture existed, was wondering how to deny it when Hinata regained consciousness.

'Nn......'

　When Hinata woke up from her sleep, she lifted herself out of bed and opened her mouth to wonder why she was in the church.

'Why am I here ......?　Shouldn't you have been serving at a soup kitchen ...... Oh, Master Cain, Bishop, how did you end up here?

　They both look relieved to have regained consciousness.

'Thank goodness ...... I was attacked and poisoned. I was able to recover, though. I'll tell you more about it when we return to the castle. How is your health?

　Hinata nodded as she tried moving her body and seemed to have no problems.

''I'm fine. For some reason, on the contrary, my body feels better.'

That's good. But still, I'm really sorry. I couldn't protect you. ......

　Cain bowed his head apologetically.

'It's okay. And this is how I got well. But still, Bishop, why are you sitting there ......?

　Hinata wondered at the bishop, who was on both knees.

'Is Lady Saint ...... Cain an apostle or was the magic that saved Lady Cain ...... a golden spell? As shown in the scriptures .......

　Hinata nodded to the bishop, who asked a fearful question, smiling and saying nothing.

'I knew it was .......'

Hey!

　Cain expresses his surprise at Hinata's admission.

'Bishop-sama is no problem. He's a trustworthy man, including the Church State.''

Could it be that ...... the saint knew ......?

　Hinata nodded again to the surprised bishop and continued her words.

'Yes. There was an oracle from God, so .......

　Hinata had said something decisive and there was no excuse for it.



　In order to explain the situation, the bishop was also asked to ride in the carriage with him to the royal castle.
　The captain of the guard did not regain consciousness and asked the sisters of the church to follow him.
　The guards had already contacted the king's castle, and it was in a state of panic.
　Cain and the three of them were immediately ushered into the reception room.
　Then the door was hurriedly opened and Prime Minister Magna, Duke Eric and the deputy knight commander of the dime, including the king, appeared.
　The king confirmed that Hinata was safe and looked relieved.
　The king sat in the center, with Prime Minister Magna and Duke Eric sitting on either side of him. The deputy knight commander of the Dime is standing back.

''So what the hell happened ......?''

'Delpone's poison was used. So the saint fell down and was knocked unconscious. ......

　The king's eyes widened when Cain's words "Delpone's poison" came up.

'Delpone's poison,' says ...... it's true!　But looking at that state of affairs in the saint's temple, you were able to recover: ...... Cain would have deserved it. ......

　The relieved king continued to speak.

'Holy Lady, I apologize on behalf of my country for what has happened in this country. I am sorry.

　At the same time that the king bowed his head, Prime Minister Magna and Duke Eric also bowed their heads.
　Cain was surprised at the three men who bowed their heads.

''Your Majesty, please raise your head. I told the bishop to conduct this soup kitchen. I am not responsible for this country. Thus, we have been restored by Master Cain, and now we have nothing to worry about.

　The three men who looked up, including the king, sighed.

''Your Majesty, Your Majesty also knows that Master Cain is an apostle. ......

　Hearing the exchange between the king and Cain, the bishop seemed to have guessed.

'Bishop, I know only a limited number of people in this country. Be very careful how you treat Cain.

　He made sure the king nodded to tell the bishop and then looked at Cain.

So why is it like this?

That's .......

　The Marquis of Corzino summoned me to his office during the course of my convoy, saying it was urgent. I refused, but the captain of the guard told me to go to him and I reluctantly went to him. When he returned, he found Hinata had already been attacked and had collapsed.
　When the explanation was over, the king frowned.

'Corzino or ...... totally unnecessary. So what happened to the killer?

　I looked at the dime that was waiting behind me and began to explain.

'According to local intelligence, it was a kid from the slums. The guards were chasing him, but ...... unfortunately, we lost him once. We found him afterwards - he was already a dead body ......

Well: ......

　The king sighs at Dime's explanation.

'At this rate, the truth is in the dark or ....... Cain, how do you put this blunder on?

　The king's stern eyes give Cain a look.
　At those words, Cain gets up from his seat and bows his head.

''I am sorry for this time. I will definitely catch the real culprit. ......

　Even as Cain, there was nothing he could forgive, such as turning a child into a criminal and disposing of him after having him attack.
　The king, noticing Cain's tightly clenched fist, nodded silently.

'Cain, try it. It is an order from the king. Find the real culprit and bring him to justice.

　At the king's words, Cain dropped to one knee and placed his right hand on his left chest.

'Will,'

　Cain stood up and bowed, then quickly left the room.
　In the room where Cain was gone, the king sighed a single sigh.

''Your Majesty, is it a good idea to leave it to Cain?''

　The king nodded at Prime Minister Magna's advice.

'The guards cannot find the slums by themselves. We must rely on Cain's help.

If you let Cain-kun do it, he might destroy the royal capital if he's not good enough: ......

　The king's eyes widened at Duke Eric's words.

''That's right, that was ....... If you unleash a large scale magic ...... please, I would appreciate it if you would not just destroy the royal capital .......

　The three of them pictured the destroyed image of the royal capital.



　After leaving the royal castle and returning to the mansion, Cain entered the office. His face was serious and not in an atmosphere where any of his followers could speak to him.

　And inside the office, he chanted a magic.

''Summon: Dalmatia.''

　Inside in the office, a magic circle floats up and Dalmatia, who is the butler in Drintle, floats in the middle of it.

'Master Cain, you wanted to see me? What is it that you are not coming to Drintle to call me, ......?

　Normally when he had business to attend to, he would quit to Drintle, but when he was summoned to King's Landing, Dalmatia sensed the urgency of the situation.

'Saint Hinata was attacked. My magic has saved her, but I want to find the real culprit. The child who did it has been taken care of. If I don't do something, the truth will never come out. I want you to use your Dalmatian abilities to gather information from all over King's Landing.

　Dalmatia bowed at Cain's words, straightening her posture.

'We shall have the information by this evening. If it's Cain-sama's life or mine, I will do my best to help.

　Then, Dalmatia generated a black darkness at hand.
　From that darkness came the sound of many moving. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, perhaps tens of thousands. The servants awaiting their master's life were waiting for his command.

'Find the culprit who tried to kill Saint Hinata. Find the person who attempted to kill her, right now.

　At Dalmatia's words, the signs of the moving 'ones' disappeared in an instant.

''I believe this information will be gathered soon. As soon as we know, we will pass it on to Master Cain.''

　Cain nodded in his chair at Dalmatia's words.
