When the victims of the accident personally asked for it to be kept secret, the priests thought this was a stroke of fortune for them.
The high-ranking priests came personally to Relia, Calix, and Griffith and bowed their heads.
They declared that such a thing would never happen again, that safety would be thoroughly maintained, and that they would investigate the culprit thoroughly.
'Like hell they'll investigate.'
Relia sneered.
Even in the original work, they claimed they would investigate thoroughly, but in the end nothing was ever revealed. Because it was something a high-ranking priest had done in collusion with the Emperor of the Askard Empire.
At that time, the only witness had been the victim, Calix.
Calix must have known even back then, when he saw the wolf turning to sand and vanishing. He knew who the culprit was that had done that to him.
'Trying to kill a child like that. Wicked bastards.'
Relia thought she absolutely had to tell Calix that before returning to her home country.
When you go back, give up the throne quickly and leave to become a mercenary. You're someone who can become the best.
Anyway, after that incident, peace returned once more.
For several days, Relia just lazed around in her room. The priests couldn't even bring themselves to tell her to attend prayers, and merely bowed their heads like sinners whatever Relia did.
If there was anything uncomfortable....
'Why do these bastards keep coming to my room to hang out?'
All four of them would gather in her room every morning. As if punching in for work.
Naturally, they too didn't attend prayers, and somehow they ended up spending the whole day together, only sleeping in separate rooms.
That too was short-lived.
Soon these guys had the priests bring beds right into Relia's room.
The one fortunate thing, if anything, was that instead of the bedroom where Relia's bed was, they brought beds into the empty room next to it, one after another.
'Ugh. This is still uncomfortable!'
You crazy bastards. I'm a woman!
Since she couldn't tell them the truth, she was the only one seething with frustration.
From that day on, a bizarre and uncomfortable cohabitation with four little brats began.
