I Became a Retired Warrior Who Suffered NTR in the Novel

45 – Participant of the former warrior’s party

At some point, knights from the royal capital arrived at the refugee camp, followed by Irene and Clara, including King Edwin.

“Lucia!! Sorry!!! Sobbing…”

As soon as Clara arrived, she hugged the sleeping Lucia and continued to apologize and show tears.

The Knights under Edwin’s order were arresting the Heretic Inquisitors and bringing them back to the palace.

And…

Lucia and her hugging her, her crying, her crying, Clara’s her figure, Ellaim finally loosened her eyebrows,

She returned with a face similar to her usual Lucia.

“Last time, and today as well.. I thought that Lucia’s mental state was very unstable these days… It seems that such things have happened…”

When I told Elaim about the things that had happened the other day, he nodded, as if he knew the reason.

“As you’ve heard, Lucia still can’t forget the massacre of her own villagers in her old days.”

“Yes. It seemed like that.”

“Additionally, since I heard about the deaths of people in the refugee camp today, he must have been anxious thinking about the old town.”

Even while she was talking, Elim was looking at Lucia in Clara’s arms with her pitiful eyes…

“By the way, is that… the original form?”

I was curious about Elaim’s similarity to her Lucia, so I asked her.

“This look? Lucia is the image of her mother left in her memory.”

“Yes?”

“When Lucia had something like that in the village, and I brought her to the spirit realm. I used to change once or twice to appease myself… But now it’s become a habit…”

I was surprised to hear that she was Lucia’s mother, but

I could see a little bit how much Elim cares for little Lucia.

“For now, I need to stay by Lucia’s side.”

“Yes?”

“If you wake up from that state now, you won’t be very heartbroken.”

“Ah…”

Leaim left me with those words and headed to Lucia with Clara.

When she saw the expression of Elaim as he lifted Lucia, who had been handed over to Clara…

Something heartbreaking…

Should it be said that it is a face that only parents can build?

*****

The Great War of the Eritre Empire…

Emilia, who temporarily held the position of a saint from the Crown Princess of the Empire, came out earlier than usual when the news came from the kingdom of Arjen.

When she entered the office, she didn’t like the face of High Priest Rad Bode, who had opened the reply before her…

“Priestess, what did you reply to?”

At Emilia’s words, High Priest Radbod showed her her reply with a trembling face.

“Please read it…”

Emilia was reading the reply she received from her High Priestess one by one…

“What is this… Someone already using healing magic?”

“It is as written. I think the answer from the warrior party is that there is already a member of the warrior party who can use healing magic, so there is no need for the help of the Great War.”

After reading the reply not once but twice, Emilia crumpled up her paper and threw it away.

The High Priest Rad Board picked up her discarded reply again, straightened it out, and read it once more.

“Who the hell is this…”

“As soon as I read this, I’m checking the dynamics of all the temple priests on the continent… But I don’t think they belong to the temple.”

“Then… Who the hell is in charge of healing at the hero’s party!?”

“…..”

At Emilia’s annoyed question, High Priest Radbod couldn’t say anything.

There is no information about the person who is currently in charge of healing in the warrior party,

Because there was no one who could guess who it was at all.

“I must go back to Argen Kingdom.”

“Holy Lady!”

“I must go and see who it is with my own eyes!”

“Holy Lady! Don’t you know how Princess Lydia went before and how she was treated?”

Not to mention Emilia, High Priest Radbod desperately tried to stop the princess Lydia because she knew how she was treated after she went to Argen Kingdom, but

Emilia wanted to see with her own eyes that she was in charge of healing, even if she had to return after being humiliated.

“Wait…”

“Yes?”

“Priestess… Could it be that the healer in the hero’s party is the water saint?”

“Yes!? If it’s a water saint…”

As well as the rumor of a water saint who recently appeared in the kingdom of Erupe, right next to the kingdom of Argen.

Considering that there has been no report from the heretic inquisitors yet, Emilia’s words were sufficiently credible.

I don’t know how skilled the Saint of Unidentified Water is, but if she’s outstanding enough to be given the title of Saint, she’ll surely be able to join the hero’s party.

“There is a possibility… Holy Lady. First of all, you should wait for the report from the heretic inquisitors…”

“No. Judging from the fact that there has been no report to the heretic inquisitors yet… It’s quite possible.”

“Even if you are right, don’t be too quick to think. Saintess.”

“Do I look like I’m not in a hurry right now? Now, there is only one seat left in the hero’s party, but if that woman named Water Saint enters, doesn’t she have no seat left?”

“Holy Lady, there is no law saying that there must be 4 warriors in the party. Looking at past records, sometimes there were 5 or 6 warriors in the party.”

If that water saint entered the hero’s party,

All of Emilia’s plans, which have been working hard to get into the remaining warriors’ party seats, are all in vain.

“Priestess, can we move the priests active in Argen Kingdom right now?”

“What are you going to do with that…”

“I want to find out about the existence of that water saint.”

“Saintess… That’s… A bit…”

Emilia tried to find out the identity of the water saint by using the priests of the temple in Arzen Kingdom.

Since the High Priestess Radbod had a different idea…

“Yes? Why? Wouldn’t it be much quicker to visit the palace and find out about the warrior party if you use the priests?”

“That’s not the case… Priests in the Kingdom of Argen are already under surveillance to the extent that they can’t even move freely, let alone enter the palace.”

“Yes…? What is that…”

“I didn’t tell the saintess, but… A long time ago, there were restrictions on the activities of priests active in the kingdom of Arjen. It is said that they can no longer enter the palace, let alone the royal capital.”

To be precise, the oppression of the priests in the kingdom of Argen, which began after the return of the hero, was ordered by King Edwin,

Chief Radbod, who wanted to avoid conflict with the kingdom of Argen where the hero was located, did not tell Emilia or argue with the kingdom of Argen even though he knew that fact.

“Then… Is there any way?”

As a great temple that collected all the information on the continent through temples everywhere, it was crazy and jumping.

It was because there was no way to hear the inside story of the kingdom of Arjen anymore.

“For now, the method is…”

The high priest, who had no choice but to answer with his head lowered, had to finish his words before a priest ran into the office in a hurry…

“It’s rude! How dare you go to the saintess’s room!”

“Ah… That’s a big deal! Holy Lady, High Priestess.”

“What’s going on?”

“Necromancers have appeared in the south of Horon Kingdom!”

“What? Necromancers!?”

“Yes!!”

Today was the first time that Necromancers appeared in this war…

The fact that the Empire was able to withstand the attacks of the Demon King’s army was only possible because the Necromancers did not participate.

“This way… what about the front lines of our empire!? Did a necromancer appear there too!?”

“That…That has not been confirmed yet.”

“Ah.. Got it. Go away.”

When the priest finished his report, unlike when he entered, when he left, he bowed his head and bowed, and quietly left.

Unlike the High Priestess Radbod, who became gloomy due to the appearance of the necromancer, an unexpected smile was blooming on Emilia’s face…

“High Priestess?”

“Yes. Saintess.”

“Let’s get ready to leave for the Kingdom of Horon right now.”

“Yes?”

“If the Necromancers appear, they will need the power of our priests more than ever… We voluntarily go to Horon to help!”

“That… What do you mean! Holy Lady!”

Priestess Radbod could not help but be surprised by Emilia’s remarks…

At a time when the frontlines of this empire are also unstable, even one priest is precious.

Not only was it unreasonable for her to lead her priests and go to help a foreign country without a saintess, and it was obvious that she would be criticized by the imperial palace and the people.

“I have to go and check the existence of the water saintess in the hero’s party, and to talk with the hero once again.”

“But, saintess. The current situation in our empire is not so good…”

“My goal is to join the hero’s party and lead him here. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be good for the Empire as well!?”

“But, saintess…”

“Think about it. The image of me entering the warrior party and purifying the undead summoned by the necromancers like before!”

Emilia was always dreaming of grandiose dreams, but that wasn’t the end of Radboard’s worries.

“If you fail, the saintess’ position in the empire could go even worse.”

“Isn’t it the same result if I stay still like this anyway? In that case, wouldn’t it be good to try?”

“But still…”

“Don’t worry. Minister instead. Because I will bring the hero back to the way it used to be.”

“Speaking of the past…”

“Can’t you just make me fall in love again… just like 3 years ago?”

Emilia was speaking so confidently, but for some reason, High Priest Radboud seemed uneasy about her.
