CH 7

*** Arjen’s POV ***

“You have eyes but refuse to see, so you must be blind.”

“Then you must be deaf, for you have ears and refuse to hear.”

*** Iris’ POV ***

I was the first member of the Hero Party. Before Elroy was chosen by the Holy Sword and given the title of Hero, I was already fulfilling my duties as the Saintess. Knowing nothing of destructive magic or swords, all I needed to become a Saintess was mana with healing properties.

“Ah…, Saintess, thank you… thank you!”

“Ha! Who cares what you think? I can do as I please. You can’t keep me here, and you know it.”

“Wait-“

“That’s it; I don’t want to hear from you anymore. Unless you want to cause friction with the Holy Land, don’t chase or even look for me from now on.”

I know the Holy Kingdom would stand by my side. The failure of the Hero’s party without Arjen was inevitable. I would listen to any orders from the Kingdom of Kairos, except for staying by the Hero’s side again. Well, they have also given up on the Hero, so I doubt that will happen.

With that thought, I left.
