Cecil, who came up to the bed, lay next to Rowena and hugged her. Cecil also liked to hold Rowena in his arms, but Rowena liked it more than that, so she was willing to dig into his chest.
“Still…… thank you very much.”
“I don’t think so”.
Her eyes met with his mischievous blue eyes. Cecil’s always beloved green eyes were swaying with affection for him.
“I love you, Your Highness…….”
“Yes.”
Cecil’s lips, with his head down, folded over Rowena’s lips. A sweet whisper tickled Rowena’s lips.
“I love you too, Rowena…….”
He would love her even more, probably until he reached the days he couldn’t remember anything. Just as his father can’t forget his mother for the rest of his life.
Cecil enjoyed Rowena’s lips and whispered eternity. It was a promise that would never be broken for him.

Frederick, the High Priest, was sitting with a somewhat tense expression. He was the first face to face since the prince’s wedding.
What brought him here?
It would not have been called to organize the funeral of the two empresses. The high priest was concerned about the recent murder inside the prison.
The murder of Marquis Hassler and his daughter by a demon. It was clear that wizards were involved.
He wanted to tell the crown prince about this, but he was hesitant because he had not yet gathered evidence. The First Empress was also attacked by demons, which he did not know.
This is because the royal family thought of the people’s children’s movements and attached them to a secret.
It was because the imperial family thought of the people’s agitation and kept it a secret.
“Their Highnesses are coming.”
At the voice of the servant, Frederick got up from his seat and looked at the door. The servant came in and left the door open, so Frederick checked his clothes again and cleared his face.
The young prince was coming into the drawing room holding his wife’s hand as if he were escorting her. They seemed to get along better than he had heard.
‘Well, these two are not married in politics…….’
He doesn’t know what’s going to happen after this, but now that they’re newlyweds, they won’t get along badly. Cecil took Rowena’s seat first and himself sat down.
“Let’s sit down.”
As he looked at himself and said, the high priest slowly sat down. Cecil was looking at Rowena with searching eyes. The gaze was so friendly that the high priest was surprised and his eyes were shaking.
When the Crown Prince’s gaze reached him, the High Priest was polite as if he had come to his senses. Ritual greetings were exchanged and refreshments were served before them.
Cecil’s eyes left the room with quick-witted servants and maids. He put down his teacup and looked at such a prince.
It was possible for the prince to find him, but he thought it would be special to look for him with the princess.
“I heard that Your Highness sought me for spiritual matters.”
“Ah, it’s a spiritual matter. There are a lot of things that I have to do to find God these days.”
For example, the deaths of the two empresses. However, Cecil did not bother to mention it and looked at Rowena.
“For now, my princess doesn’t seem to be feeling well, but the healer can’t find the reason, so can you take a look?”
At the unexpected offer, the High Priest looked at the Crown Princess. On the surface, there was no sign of illness, but there were cases like the emperor.
“Hmm. Are you worried about it just in case?”
Instead of using the word curse, the High Priest asked. The prince’s affection for the princess seemed to be extreme, so there was no need to say anything provocative.
“Similar. Can you help me?”
“How can I refuse it? Then excuse me, Your Highness.”
The high priest who got up from his seat came to Rowena’s side. Rowena cautiously gave him her hand as she held out her long sleeve.
The high priest closed his eyes, holding Rowena’s hand.
Frederick’s eyes opened as he slowly pushed his divine power to examine Rowena’s energy. Cecil looked at Rowena in surprise and worried.
Cecil didn’t know exactly what power Rowena had. But the honest feeling was that it didn’t matter if she didn’t have that power.
Cecil did not explain in detail to the high priest because what the emperor said was the basis, and it was just a testament. This is because it is difficult to make strange rumors due to useless speculation.
“Wait…… I’m sorry! I’ll look at it again…….”
His face, in a hurry, had become quite bright. So, thinking it would not be a bad thing, Rowena looked at the high priest with a nervous feeling.
He closed his eyes with a face full of expectations. Rowena wondered what was going on.
‘Matthias is the only one who’s been treated by a high priest.’
Priests were the most treated for treating diseases on the continent, followed by healers, and then by clinicians. The treatment of lower priests was cheap, but Paul preferred relatively cheap healers to priests.
Even though Rowena didn’t receive such treatment.
By the time the High Priest opened his eyes quietly, his face was shining with joy. The High Priest, who politely let go of Rowena’s hand, looked at Cecil.
“This would be the joy of the empire. Your Highness has had a truly good power.”
“What does that mean?”
“Your Highness, do you remember your belief in the Creator?”
It was the faith that he learned when he entered the temple and learned the doctrine for the first time. It was a story that in the beginning there was light, and darkness was created from that light, and a goddess created the world.
