CH 1

It was a pleasant sunny afternoon near the carriage stop by the Demon Lord’s forest.

Suddenly, I, Hiira Seamacy, was kicked out of the carriage by my fiancé, Kasdar-sama.

It was on our way back from the expedition to defeat the Demon Lord, which was a pastime for aristocratic sons.

“Hiira, I’m breaking off our engagement. Also, you’re no longer needed in the party, so leave.”

“Eh. . .what?”

“I said you’re no longer needed. You’re expelled. Get off the carriage.”

My fiancé, Count Streltsy’s second son, made a hissing sound.

He was a beautiful 19-year-old man with silky platinum blonde hair like the sun god and bright green eyes like fresh greenery. He was a handsome man with a dazzling silver armor on his well-built body.

He looked like a prince from a fairy tale.

With a contemptuous expression, he looked down on me and tried to leave in the carriage.

I panicked.

“W-Wait, please. What happened? You’re not really going to suddenly expel me and break off our engagement, are you?”

“Reality is stranger than fiction, hahaha. Give up.”

“Eh, no way.”

I, [Saint] Hiira Seamacy, was 16 years old.

I had a plain appearance like a village girl with long hair in a peach ash pink color and crimson eyes.

Kasdar-sama called me “a village girl at the edge of the world” because of my ordinary appearance. Without the white robe of a saint and the [halo] shining above my head, no one would think of me as a saint.

“Kasdar-sama, it’s too sudden. Let’s go back to the capital first and talk calmly.” 

“I don’t want to see your face anymore.”

“But even if you say you don’t want to see me, our engagement has been officially applied to the royal palace. At least let me talk to Count Streltsy, who is the head of the family.”

“I’ve already talked to my father about it.”

“When did you do that?!”

“I said don’t talk back, Viscount’s daughter with a poor household and small breasts.”

“…You’re lying, right…”

Feeling a despair that made my stomach feel cold, I muttered.

――The demon king’s castle subjugation this time was no different from usual.

We formed a party from the capital to the demon king’s forest, and while defeating the demon beasts in the forest, we conquered the trial hall of the demon king’s castle one after another.

There were four party members.

Kasdar-sama was the leader, followed by a witch, a ninja, and me, the saint.

When we reached the throne room, we were given the right to challenge the demon king with all our strength until the hourglass fell.

Depending on the outcome of the battle with Demon King-sama, he would give the representative a [proof] of magical bond.

The purification of the demon king’s challenge is like a coming-of-age ceremony for all noble boys aged 18 to 22.

Gathering party members also shows their popularity and connections.

Depending on the content of the magical bond, the success of our country’s noble sons can be determined.

Kasdar-sama, my fiancé, was 19 years old.

He was a [genius] who had injured the demon king, and there was no one of the same age as him. 

Although we were no match for the demon king in this challenge, well, there are days like that.

Just being able to meet is already a great achievement.

So, we were retreating from the forest.

It’s troubling to suddenly break off an engagement and expel me.

Isn’t Kasdar-sama troubled too?!

“I was getting tired of you.”

Kasdar-sama looked down on me with eyes that seemed to see me as something dirty and let out a blatant sigh.

“I thought I’d try being engaged to the strongest saint, but I never thought you’d be like this.”

“Well, isn’t that your own fault, Kasdar-sama? You forcibly dragged me out of the monastery just because I’m a silver-class saint without even checking what my ability is.”

“Ha?!”

“Hii.”

I held my breath and shrank back. After all, he had pushed me around quite seriously before.

Yes. The engagement with him was a bolt from the blue for me.

I was living peacefully in the monastery when Kasdar-sama suddenly kidnapped me and forced me into an engagement. He was after my ability as a saint. And that incident was covered up by my father-in-law, Lord Streltsy, who donated money.

It’s a terrible story.

Still, I have been serving Kasdar-sama diligently until today, and that’s admirable.

“Listen, Hiira, I’ve decided to expel you.”

Kasdar-sama pointed his finger at me sharply.

“You’re a maiden who has been given the gift of a saint’s ability from heaven, with a halo shining above your head. The holy emblem drawn by the halo resembles wheat, which symbolizes abundance. Your actual ability is silver-platinum, the strongest. What can you do?”

“I can produce wheat flour…what’s wrong with that?”
