Letie already knew that there was Elona in this forest.
So if she had thought about it a little more, she would have known that the reason he was here was because he was with Elona.
However, she was chased by monsters and was in danger of dying, so the accident did not continue deeply.
All she knew was that the Kishian had just appeared and saved her.
The escort knight also escaped, and Kishian himself stepped in for her.
However, the moment she saw the face that appeared immediately afterwards, Letie was immediately filled with terrible discomfort.
“Elona..."
Elona appeared from behind Kishian.
Elona whispered to Kishian to thank him and turned to Letie.
"I heard a scream and rushed over, but it was you."
It seemed that Letie was not the only one who felt uncomfortable.
Elona also faced a terrible evil relationship that she wanted to forget.
Standing behind Kishian and showing such displeasure touched Letie's heart.
'Who would be offended right now?'
To Letie, Elona was an imitation of her own face and robbed her of her savior's powers.
She didn't like that such an existence was embarrassing to her, as if she were reluctant to do so.
Doesn't she know that she is the one who makes everyone feel uncomfortable?
No one would love the dark mark and the gloomy shyness.
Letie stripped off her muddy clothes and straightened her waist.
"How well were you alive? Did you become a mercenary? You have to do something like that..."
"We'll talk about it later. Earlier, you exploded a flashbang, and the monsters got excited. Some of the monsters that attacked the Imperial Army are being blocked by mercenaries, but the other monsters seem to have escaped the forest. I have to go and check it out right away."
The contempt that Letie threw at her pride was cut off by Elona with a single sword.
Now was not the time to deal with Letie.
This was the time when Elona was about to take Kishian to chase the monsters.
Letie called out to Kishian in a shrill voice.
"Wait! I have to do something before then."
Kishian looked back at Letie with a disapproving expression.
"Take me to Viscount Gottlief. The escort knight is gone. I don't know when the monsters will come out, but I can't go back to the mansion by myself."
Elona, who was about to ignore it, had no choice but to stop at that moment.
"What the hell are you talking about? We need to chase the monsters right now."
"Elona. You threw away the position of the Princess and the Grand Duchess by yourself. But I am still a Savior and a Princess."
With that, Letie looked directly at Kishian.
She heard that Kishian also noticed that Elona and Letie were swapped.
In other words, he already knew that Elona was despised as a counterfeit.
The woman he had been living with was a fake after all, and he was called the real savior in front of him.
If Kishian had any ideas, he wouldn't miss this opportunity to have a real savior.
"I was just in a big crisis. If you take pity on me and escort me to the mansion, I will thank you greatly."
"Do you still think you're real?"
Kishian, who had been silent all along, asked such a question.
After that, he turned and faced Letie.
What was contained in that gaze was a very vivid contempt that could not be mistaken for other emotions.
"Do you still think you're the real savior?"
There was a smile on his lips. To be precise, it was ridiculous.
He kindly told the fool in an attitude as if he were giving enlightenment.
"I don't know how you have the confidence to call yourself a savior after being chased by monsters just now, but you're not real."
"..."
"The real savior is by my side now, and I will go to kill the monsters according to her commands. It's much more important than escorting you to the mansion, which is nothing more than a counterfeit."
Letie's lips trembled at the brutal words.
That's what her father tried to do with her.
He's old now and has lost his old firearms.
But even the Kishian are doing the same thing?
Even though she had given him a chance to gain a real savior, he was foolish and turned away, not knowing its preciousness.
"Stop! Where are you going?"
She shouted as hard as she could, but Kishian didn't look back at Letie.
It was the same with Elona.
Leaving Letie behind, she was walking out of the forest with Kishian in a hurry.
"Hah."
Letie glared at them with wide eyes as they gradually moved away.
It was the first time shr had ever felt such a terrible sense of contempt.
Letie moved her trembling hand and reached into the inner pocket of the robe.
She felt the feel of the cool and firm handle.
With her eyes fixed on Elona, who was now so distant that she could see her blurry, Letie gripped it tightly.
***
Even though we rushed to the forest, the village near the forest was already in chaos.
Ever since the Kishian returned from the defeat of the monsters in the past, the people had been at peace for a short time.
Suddenly, two monsters appeared in the middle of the village, and they were all floundering without being able to hide properly.
"It's a monster! Damage!!"
"Someone, please help me! My brother is weird!!
"Mom!!"
While he was helping the child who had fallen, Kishian spoke in a hurry.
"I'll deal with the nearby ones first, so you're here. If you see contaminated people, treat them."
"Are you okay?... You alone."
"It's okay. I've caught them alone more times."
He kissed me lightly on the forehead and ran straight away.
In the opposite direction from where people are fleeing.
There must be monsters there.
While he dealt with the monsters, I also had to do my own thing.
Apparently, there were tainted people everywhere, just as Kishian had said.
They were on a rampage on the side of the road, slowing down the evacuation of people.
While I was worried that it would take time to hold on to each one and heal them, an unexpected presence appeared.
"What are you doing?! Everyone got up and didn't deal with the monsters!!"
It was a middle-aged man sitting on a horse with a good pedigree, shouting.
The clothes wrapped around his plump body were also quite luxurious.
He wore several jeweled rings on his fingers as if to boast of his wealth, so it was not difficult to recognize him.
"Viscount Gottlieff!"
I shouted, and the Viscount's head swung back toward me.
"Princess. Your Highness, the Princess!"
He called out to Letie with a slightly embarrassed look.
He probably mistook me for her.
However, there was no time to correct the misunderstanding now.
"What are you doing now?"
"I was pushing the villager. A monster has appeared, but it's running on a rope..."
"...How could ordinary people who have never encountered monsters in their lives catch them? Stop doing useless things, find the polluted people, and gather them here. It's dangerous if you leave it as it is."
"Contaminated things? No, they can't be cured anyway, so leave them alone first
"Come on!"
As I shouted, Viscount Gottlief shook his shoulders.
Then he ordered the soldiers who followed him.
"Oh, send the tainted ones to Her Highness the Princess!"
The soldiers immediately began to move in unison.
They caught the polluters who were being driven mad nearby and brought them before me one by one.
Even though the monsters had just appeared, there were quite a lot of them.
A long line immediately formed in front of me.
"Let go! Oh!! What are you doing to me?"
I treated the first contaminator who was about to go on a rampage.
He was wary, staring in all directions with red eyes, but as soon as I touched him, he calmed down.
The cured person was ordered to be evacuated to a safe place, and then a second contaminant was treated.
When I treated about five people, people who were watching me from around the area whispered.
"What is she doing?"
"She says she can cure pollution?"
"Please take a look at my child, too!"
When I showed them how the pollution was cured, people brought the polluter to me on their own.
In an instant, the area was crowded with polluters and those who brought them in.
While I was sweating and treating each one of them, a girl who looked like the sister of a freshly healed little boy bowed her head and greeted me.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Princess!"
Hearing that greeting, I stopped moving.
