A few days after that, when the news that a saint was born spread throughout the country, it suddenly became a festive event.

Pictures of Anna were selling like hot cakes on the street, and people seemed to be eagerly awaiting their unveiling. 
Even in our house, the work at the castle seems to be so busy that my father comes home late at night every day.
Also, it seems that His Highness has come to the academy for the time being, but we no longer have time to relax together in the outdoor garden like before. Even so, letters are frequently delivered to the marquis house, and if the time is right, I can say that the most enjoyable thing for me right now is having a little conversation with him when I go to school in the morning.

Because everyone is busy, I myself am working hard on my studies and actively researching spirits at the library.
That's because I remembered the story about the saint I heard from my tutor Bruette-sensei before.
I'm pretty sure it's Mr. Bruette.

“The saint is considered a symbol. 
Because humans are greedy. Spreading his power too widely makes him dependent on it.
Therefore, the power of the saint is kept secret from anyone other than the royal family.》

He said.

And I was really curious.
What is the power of a saint?

No matter how much I am the fiancée of His Highness the Crown Prince, it would be impossible for me, who is not officially married yet, to tell me the details.

In that case, let's investigate the saints of 300 years ago, the saints before that, and the spirits.
This may also lead to the Black Spirit. Because I thought so.

Of course, His Highness and Theodore would know much more. However, instead of just sitting still, search for what you can do now and do it desperately.
I think that's all I can do now.

Also, Anna-san, who is being talked about everywhere now, seems to have moved to a large church because she needs to learn various things as a saint.
Before taking a leave of absence from the academy, Anna-san had to go through the procedures herself, so I saw her at the academy for the first time in a while.
But when Anna-san noticed me, she stiffened her face and let her gaze swim.
And he muttered as if he was worried about something.

"How about the church? Don't you feel bad about the change in your environment?"
“Yes.
"Yes, that would be fine."

Hearing my words, Anna-san, who had been averting her gaze and looking down, lifted her head in surprise.
She whispered, "Where's the villainess...?", but when I asked back because I couldn't catch it, she shook her head, saying, "It's nothing."

And open his mouth with a somewhat dark expression.

"Rachel-san, the next time we meet..."
"e?"
"No, I'm looking forward to seeing you again."

…I wonder what happened.
It looked like he was about to say something and then stopped.
However, the pained look on her face was gone in an instant, and Anna-san immediately returned to her usual smile and said, "See you later," and dashed off in the opposite direction to mine.

You looked like something was wrong, but were you really trying to tell me something?
However, from the fact that she stopped speaking, there may be various conflicts within Anna.

Moreover, it is the first time for Anna to have such a dark face.
Did something happen at church? Or is it something I have to do with it? …Are you uncomfortable seeing me?

…I would like to consult with you.

Tell His Highness about Anna.
I can't say that I went back in time.
