"Hoho. You can't do this."
From beyond the door came a mournful voice, with a broad smile.
"Yeha."
Luciana shook her head hard from behind. I wanted to avoid it, but I couldn't.
Phew, there's nothing we can do.
I opened the door slightly and saw Raphael through the crack in the door.
"What brings you here?"
Raphael smiled softly as if he were looking at her granddaughter, who had reached puberty.
"I came by because I had something to tell you."
"Is the Holy Pope asked you personally?"
"Yes, it's to discuss such an important issue."
I was forced to open the door.
Raphael laughed again.
The gentlemen behind me had a hard time holding back his laughter.
Everyone seemed to enjoy my defeat. Fucking adults!
"Are you not going to pay for the ceremony?"
Raphael, who took Luciana's seat, asked me bluntly. I shook my head as I sat in front of him.
"What are you talking about? You have to pay!"
"Then have you decided your name?"
"That...."
Of course not.
As I bowed silently, Rafael clicked his tongue.
"You must have a name, Yeha."
I know that too!
I wanted to shout, but I couldn't. Raphael spoke in a solemn voice to me, who turned away from his gaze.
"Ypu have to be aware. If you miss an auspicious day, you'll have to start over again. Yesterday was the ideal day, but even if it's too much today, you have to have a ritual tomorrow."
"Will it be a problem if I don't pay on time?"
When asked again with an anxious look, Raphael nodded with a smile.
"If you don't hold a ceremony, you will have to go to the Northern Empire after finishing the ceremony in three months, is the next choice."
"Hyuk. Just me?"
No! I can't!
I can't live a day without my dad. How can I hold out for three months?
Besides, I'm the saintess alone!
"I can't do that!"
"Hoho. Then let me know your name by today, Yeha."
"I will!"
I jumped out of my seat, opened the door and rushed out.
"Yeha!"
I could hear Luciana's embarrassed voice from behind, but this isn't the time I care about it now.
Dad!

The building where Melkiade was staying is far from the building where I lived.
The place where precious guests from foreign countries stay is in the large Glerio Palace located in the south.
I ran to the Glerio annex right away and went to Melkiade's room.
