The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

53 – The cardinal is distraught.

Country of Wentos.

A northern territory where the cool air stings the skin even when the royal capital is in full swing.

Instead of abundant resources, the Count Wentos family rules the harsh terrain and climate, and the land infested with strong monsters.

The current head of the county, Cillian Wentos, and his wife, Sylvia Wentos, could be said to be the ones supporting the county.

Among them, Mrs. Sylvia was concentrating on administration and various social activities that the head of the county, Killian, had not been able to use her hands on.

And behind the scenes, she was also in charge of the count’s backstory.

The count’s botanical garden.

It was a facility built by Count Wentos with a lot of money so that he could grow plants freely even in this cold northern part for his wife who likes to grow various plants.

Countess Sylvia spent most of her time in the Botanical Garden outside of her mealtimes, bedtimes, and helping the Count’s work.

And today, she was sitting at a table in the botanical garden and drinking her tea.

The Countess said she was thinking of her eldest son now she might be studying at the Royal Capital.

Kyo Wentos, the first child born between Killian and himself.

She didn’t listen well when she was young, and she was a bit worried because she just went out to play.

Her fiancée was decided, and after meeting her once, she became a child who worked hard in both martial arts and magic, just like a person has changed.

Although it ended not so well with her fiancée, Liliana, she met a new child and continued her efforts.

Countess Sylvia thought of the first time she met her husband.

It was at Grand Seine Academy that her then-name, Sylvia Ilyn Palaginia, met her husband, Cillian Wentos.

At the time, Cillian Wen Toth was a very strong student who, in slang terms, was a bully who used that power to control those around her.

Then one day, at her end-of-semester party, she met Sylvia, her other classmate, and her Killian fell in love with her at first sight.

Her Killian courted her, but like her Killian, she believed only in her strength and was kicked by Sylvia, who hated her people very much.

And it was from that time.

Killian formally bowed his head and apologized to the classmates he was holding onto.

She acted as if a person had changed, concentrating on her studies, which she had almost neglected, and immediately ran to help anyone in trouble.

When an aristocrat who was a classmate and friend of Killian asked why, Killian answered confidently.

“I want to be loved by Ms. Sylvia!”

It was the reason that I was so confident and full of selfishness.

But she was just as sincere.

As if their sincerity worked, the two of them went on dates in the second year and ended up getting engaged and married.

Countess Sylvia laughed quietly that her father and son were equally willing to change themselves for the sake of the woman she fell in love with.

Her own son, whom she loves very much, trying to learn martial arts from her husband and magic from herself.

However, she said that her son was attacked.

So, as soon as the news came in, Sylvia put her hands on it.

A small shadow fell silently in front of Countess Sylvia.

“She’s back from her mission.”

“Good job.”

Countess Sylvia responds without being surprised at the sudden appearance of a person.

But she deserved it.

The identity of that person was none other than the Countess’s subordinate.

“So, what’s the result?”

“Yes. Here.”

A man who hid his face? Or, a figure presumed to be a woman lifted her left hand, and another figure came down from behind her and knelt on her knees.

Then, he took out something from her arms and presented it to her.

“…As you expected, these were sent out by the church.”

Countess Sylvia turned her attention to the four lumps her men had brought out.

It was none other than a human head.

“Since they were the ones who dared to attempt to kill the young master, I dealt with them within my discretion…”

“Yes. I’m fine.”

Having said that, the Countess snapped her fingers.

Then she, she, a sharp tree trunk came out of the ground and pierced one of her heads that lay on her floor.

“If I had brought them alive, I would have killed them all.”

The subordinates are silent at the voice that is colder than the northern temperature.

Breaking that silence, the countess opened her mouth.

“…The church bothered our estate, but I didn’t really want to confront them, so I let it go.”

“……”

“However, as long as the sword is pointed at the count’s family like this, there will be no need to look after it.”

The Countess snapped her fingers again, and the stems skewered through her head sank back into the ground.

Only the sound of her head falling through her thread resonated in the place.

“What should I do?”

“…For now, throw those ugly heads in the middle of Central Church.”

“Okay.”

“It’s clear that it would be foolish to go there with evidence or testimonies anyway.”

The countess grinned.

“Then we’re just harassing you beneath the surface.”

From that day on, knights were often seen around the academy or dormitory.

Academy students, who were curious at first, were convinced by the explanation that it was because of the recent dormitory break-in and gradually got used to it.

If there is anything else that has changed significantly, is it the absence of Alan?

As Alan suddenly quit the academy, he always followed Alan… Should I call him a follower? The crowd was confused.

They even went to the director as a group to ask where Alan had gone.

“Student information is confidential.”

I was just silent at the director’s one word, though.

Funny enough, the sparks also flew at me.

The fact that Alan and I don’t get along very well is a famous story in my class after the duel incident.

“You kicked Alan out of jealousy?!”

Starting with a ridiculous argument called

.

“You know where Alan is?!”

Even the random question called

.

Well, I know the latter, but I dismissed it as not knowing because I had no reason to tell you.

In the case of the former, I said that I was jealous of such a guy because I felt sorry for him.

No, to be honest.

I’m a high-ranking aristocrat, I have a lot of money at home, and my grades are um…Not bad except for the theory.

As for the face…What can I say with my mouth, but I want to believe that this is good-looking.

The only problem is that this world has subtly leveled up faces, so it falls into the normal axis.

But I’m jealous of that commoner, poor, handsome guy.

…Going back to the story, it is said that there were a lot of kids who went crazy in that way.

However, there were some kids who chased after Alan but didn’t jump on the bandwagon.

First of all, Arya Owen and Ferris Valtreia.

These two knew why Alan disappeared, and they didn’t take any action, perhaps because they were in a position where they were even attacked by Alan.

No, on the contrary, I often see her talking to Riel and Emilia these days.

And, unexpectedly, Lefia Albain, who fought with me in the second round of the Musin Festival.

She also didn’t show a big reaction to Alan’s disappearance, she was just focusing on studying and training.

I felt a bit surprised because he was a kid who desperately attacked me because of Alan.

“Kyou!”

Today’s class was over, and as I was packing up her stuff, Riel, who had been away, came running.

She stood there with a very bright smile on her face.

Suddenly, when I moved my gaze behind her, there were Emilia, Aria, and Ferris standing there.

Looks like you came here after talking with them.

When my eyes met hers, Emilia smiled and waved her hand, and Aria and Ferris both cowered in fear.

…What have I done? Why are you like that?

“I have a place to go to today, can you come with me?”

“Huh? That’s about it. Of course it’s possible. Where are you going?”

“Ah~ that’s…”

Riel made a slightly ambiguous expression.

“That … Her sister sent a new child to take care of me … She said it would arrive today.”

“Ah…”

After Ilia, the exclusive maid who was originally in charge of Riel, quit for some reason, Phyllis, my exclusive maid, covered both Riel and me.

I thought that the state of the duke’s family would not be able to afford to send a new exclusive lady-in-waiting, but Eve seemed to have done something about it.

“I don’t even know what kind of child I am. The name was written in the letter, but…”

“Really? What was your name?”

“Um…That’s…”

Riel took out her crumpled letter from her pocket and opened it.

“My name is Luca Altran…”

“You still haven’t found the culprit!”

Continent Central Church.

This place, the headquarters of the World Tree Church, has been in chaos since morning.

It started with a priestess who came out to clean in the morning.

As usual, she came out early in the morning to clean the front door of the church and the large garden in front of it.

Then, while she was sweeping the garden, she heard what sounded like dripping water.

Knock. Knock. Knock. Straight.

Since it hadn’t rained recently, the priestess thought something was wrong and moved in search of the sound.

From nob le mt l dot com

Knock. Knock. Knock. Straight.

And where she followed her voice, there was a scene where you could definitely hear the sound of water droplets.

Water collected on the floor.

And the water droplets dripping with it.

From nob le mt l dot com

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.

The problem is, the droplets and water were all the color of blood.

It is said that what caught the eyes of the priestess who raised her gaze along the drops of blood were four human heads.

“Kyaaa!!”

That morning, many priests had to wake up quickly because of the priestess’s screams.

Most of the priests were just looking at the situation as a grotesque murder case.

But some high-ranking church officials, including cardinals, disagreed.

It was because they all knew the owner of the head.

‘It’s been a while since the report stopped… And this is what happened.’

Cardinal Gerald looked at the four heads and muttered to himself.

They were members of a secret unit sent to secure a shaman and exterminate demons.

Many of the covert troops were killed on the spot, but reports have surfaced that four people survived.

Then one day, the report suddenly stopped, so I thought it was strange, but I never thought my head would come back like this.

‘Who the hell… No, really an individual? Did the kingdom find out about everything?’

Cardinal Gerald shook his head in confusion.

At that time, a priest came running to Gerald.

“Cardinal! I have an urgent report for you!”

Cardinal Gerald looked at him.

One of his own subordinate priests.

“What the hell is going on?”

Cardinal Gerald nervously replied, wondering if something else had happened, even though the mysterious incident that just happened made my head complicated.

“That…That’s…”

“It’s okay, answer me quickly.”

“That… I found Sister Merlot.”

“…What do you mean by that?”

Obviously, Alicia Merlot has strong power, but she is a nuisance and not a real threat.

He did feel a little uncomfortable when he was away, but that was it.

But why are you so in a hurry to report so hurriedly?

“That…Sister Merlot was accompanying the party.”

“So?”

“That… I wondered if the identity of the party was probably a member of the Ignis family…”

Hearing those words, Cardinal Gerald hurriedly left the place.
