"Elaine, you're a fake saint. I don't need you anymore!

I thought you had been summoned by the royal palace. Is this all of a sudden? Your Highness.

Claude, the first prince of the kingdom of Belkheim, looks down on me and despises me.

This is how you treat me as your fiancé.

It's too stupid to say anything.

"Prince Claude... what do you mean you don't need it?

The answer is largely predictable, but I'll ask.

Promise me you'll listen to this.

"You're right. You have confused the country as a false saint. Besides, the wicked woman who tortured me probably doesn't need this country anymore."

"Fake Virgin...? I don't remember."

"Hmm, you're such a bad guy this time of year."

Claude laughs with his nose.

When I was a child, I became a 'Virgin' who received a myth from the goddess at the same time as my ancestral Virgin disappeared.

I pray with the Virgin for generations in this country.

And there are boundaries and goddess protections.

As a result, the kingdom has been thriving for many years... What the hell is this prince thinking?

"In your words, without the Virgin, this country will collapse. Does Your Highness know exactly what the Virgin is like?

"Ha! Isn't it the earliest thing you've ever done, such as a saint? I wonder how much taxes I spend on you to give up meaningless prayers and stuff. That way you are nothing but a con man who steals money from the royal family!

Fraudster...?

The power of the Virgin's prayers is real, and there is no connection between shape-shaped and terrible things to say...

Besides, I only get a minimum subsistence fee for taxes?

Prince Claude, you're more luxurious, aren't you?

"Your Highness, that is a mistake. Actually....."

"Don't argue. Stop that senseless prayer immediately. I just see you kneeling and praying, and I get goosebumps."

Oh, yeah?

Is it really okay to stop praying?

If I stop praying and erase the border... you think there 'll be some powerful monsters coming into the country tomorrow?

I don't think we're going to grow any crops in the kingdom?

I wonder if Claude is looking ahead... or not.

Because he's an idiot.

"It wasn't meant for me to be forced to get engaged to you in the first place. But I was told that it was a tradition to get engaged to the Virgin...."

That's our dialogue.

Yes, Claude and I are still fiancées.

For generations, the Virgin and Prince will marry when they grow up.

That's why the queen who died of illness was originally a saint to protect this country.

I can't believe I got engaged to such a handsome guy at first! Well, when I was little, I was floating.

But soon enough.

He said he was an empty prince with nothing but his appearance.

I had a bad personality... and I wanted to say goodbye right away if I could, but I just had to stick to the house rules.

If Claude tells me that, I can still hope and fulfill it.

That being said,

"Does that mean breaking up the engagement? But... if you do that, the prince will be honorable..."

That's not how it works.

To put an end to that tradition in my time is somehow... resistant.

So if you just object to form,

"Stop it!

The voices of women echo around me.

"Stop fighting for me!

Ah, this one. I said something.

The woman next to Claude just now.

She —— Leticia was the one who made Claude even crazier.
