CH 8

My body was terribly heavy. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't move my eyelids. My temples were dripping with sweat. My skin sizzled. The breath I exhale was so hot that it gave me goosebumps. I wanted to remove the blanket, but my arms and legs couldn't move.

* * *

Blink, blink.

I blinked my stuffy eyes a couple of times. As I came into focus, my blurry vision gradually became clearer.

Until yesterday, I was sick as if I was going to die…….

Like a lie, my body was light.

“Hoo- Hoo- Pain, go away. Bye.”

I was lost in thought, thinking about last night. Looking back, the first day I was possessed was the same. Piace grabbed my finger and blew the wind through her mouth.

Whispering not to be sick.

Immediately, my body, which had been dull and foreign as if I was wearing someone else's clothes, was refreshed.

At the time, I thought it was just a phenomenon…….

“Piace healed me.”

The identity of Piace, who was cute like a doll, was a saint. In other words, the genre of Part 2 is not adventure fantasy, but parenting.

I was a little worried if this was the power of the saint.

If this fact is known, many people will try to use the child.

Could it be that the meaning of the title <I Became a Saint to Save the World> is not to save the world from villains, but from diseases?

‘Still, since it's a parenting genre, the protagonist won't die.’

It won't be a heavy story.

I seemed to know my role roughly.

He put his hand on my forehead to check the fever.

“Excuse me, but let me check your temperature for a moment……. Hmm, the fever really went down. Do you have any other sore spots?”

“I’m fine. It doesn't hurt.”

“I think you’re all better now. He said it would take another week for you to recover, but it must have been a misdiagnosis. I'm sorry, I'll fire Dr. Albert soon.”

You don't have to do that…….

Dr. Albert was not at fault, but I pretended not to know. Piace's power needed to be hidden until the story strand was drawn.

“By the way, Master.”

The butler spoke politely. With blood vessels throbbing on his forehead.

“How could a nobleman be attacked in broad daylight, even in the middle of the Imperial Palace? How lax is the Imperial security?”

“…….”

“If I had known this was going to happen, I would not have reduced the number of attendants. Who on earth was it? I'm really curious about the face of the guy who dared to attack the Duke of the Empire.”

Leonhart Genetic Philio. aka Philio's third light.

The butler was very calm and silently angry. Actually, I didn't expect him to react like this. He must be truly loyal to Adrian.

‘Is this uncle the type who doesn't care about good and evil once he swears allegiance?’

“Master, did you see the culprit? Was he a nobleman or a servant? What did he look like? Ah, it's not like this, I'll have to call the painter right away. Let's make a sketch first.”

“W, well.”

“You don’t remember? Not a bit?”

“Eung.”

“Think about it carefully. Even the smallest clue is fine.”

“I don 't know.”

“……Then it would be difficult to catch the culprit.”

“I guess so.”

The butler's upright shoulders drooped just slightly. I guess he’s terribly disappointed with that…….

“Please explain the situation. If I listen, I might remember.”

“I see. Master is right.”

The butler immediately summoned someone. She was the maid who accompanied me to the Imperial family.

“Luna, explain the situation to Master. In as much detail as possible.”

“Yes, Mr. Butler.”

Luna answered calmly, bowing her head.

“Even after the meeting, Master didn't come out. So I went into the conference room to pick you up, but you weren't there. Even the aristocrats said they didn't know. I went to the back garden just in case, but Master was unconscious. When I screamed in surprise, the attendants came running and brought you to the mansion.”

“Was I alone in the back garden?”

“Yes, you were alone when I found you.”

Leonhart must have left me unconscious on the ground and gone back alone.

I wasn't disappointed or upset. Adrian also sent assassins to Leonhart. It was just fortunate that Leonhart left me unharmed after I fainted.

“Master, how is it? Do you remember anything?”

“No.”

“……Skin color, hair color, or even body odor are good. Do you remember anything?”

“I think I lost my entire memory when I fell.”

“…….”

“Pretend it never happened. It's not that I'm seriously injured.”

I got out of bed, speaking in a sour tone. Why is it so quiet?

When I inadvertently turned my head, the butler and Luna were staring at me with shocked expressions.

“What?”

“You're still going to request an investigation from the Imperial family, right?”

“I won't ask for an investigation until I remember.”

“Aren't you going to send a letter of protest to the Imperial family?”

“It's annoying.”

“Meeting the nobles…….”

“Why meet them?”

“However…….”

The butler hesitated a little, then approached me and whispered secretly, covering his mouth with his hand.

“So, do you really intend to quietly move on, without using this incident as an excuse to claim interests from the Imperial family, accuse someone you don't like as a criminal, or incite the nobles?”

Ah ah, Adrian……. What kind of person you really are.
