Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 209.1

Approaching Malice

“Please, we need your help. This country is sick. It is important to join hands with our neighbors, not just fight. Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can save this country now. I hope that all of you with pure hearts will make the right decision…”

In front of the pious nobles gathered in the temple, a girl was “preaching”.

However, the content of the sermon was poor…even childish idealism, but the reason so many nobles gathered for it was because the girl was a Saint.

“…”

They wanted people to listen to her as [Saint Licia], not as Viscountess Alicia Melrose. Nathaniel heard her wish and watched her from the darkness offstage.

Nathaniel thought that Licia was a true Saint.

Growing up religious, he had never doubted that the teachings of God, as espoused by the Holy Church, were the truth of the world. However, his absolute values were shattered by a girl with peach-blond hair, the princess’s bodyguard.

But it was Licia who saved his broken heart. Nathaniel was troubled by the fact that his previous values were only based on the narrow world of the church, but Licia affirmed everything Nathaniel believed in, saying that his ideas were not wrong and that the world was more distorted than Nathaniel’s beautiful heart.

It was like a sweet “poison” that invaded Nathaniel’s mind, and he fell in love with Licia as if he were a little boy again. Licia accepted all of Nathaniel’s needs, as he had lost the opportunity to grow as a human being and only wanted to be pampered.

This was not good…Nathaniel was worried…both the Crown Prince and the royal brother were devoted to Licia, and perhaps Licia was also devoted to the Crown Prince.

If this happened, there would be a possibility that Licia would become the Crown Prince’s Queen. It was not a good idea to continue such a relationship with her, which was against the teachings of the Holy Church.

However, after the dungeon attack, Licia’s declared [Qualification as a Saint] convinced me that she was kind and accepted Nathaniel because of the Saint’s charity, and he doted on her even more.

When he actually met Licia, the anxiety and doubt he had felt disappeared, and only his affection for her filled Nathaniel.

When he saw Licia’s face, he no longer felt anxious, and he began to worship her as if she were a goddess because she enveloped him with her comfort.

Perhaps this was the benevolence of [Saint]. As proof of this, his grandfather, who had only seen her as a collaborator of the Crown Prince before meeting her, recognized her as a Saint after actually meeting Licia.

(…wonderful, Licia.)

And the nobles of the royal capital who had gathered at the temple, who at first had only gathered there out of faith, had lost their skeptical gaze upon seeing Licia and hearing her voice, and were now looking at Licia with a passionate gaze, as if they had been carried away by the heat of the moment.

Licia was what this country needed. If she became Crown Prince and eventually Queen, this kingdom would become a wonderful country filled with the mercy of God.

However, there were people who stood in the way of that.

Clara Dandol, the first fiancée of Ervan, the next candidate for queen.

The first princess, Elena Cleydale, was trying to steal the Crown Princess title from Ervan by bringing in a new member of Ervan’s inner circle, a nobleman who had been Ervan’s confidant.

However, the biggest problem was the presence of Aria Layton, a baroness who protected the princess, and Carla Lester, a dangerous person.

If these two could be eliminated at the very least, the most difficult obstacle to Licia becoming Queen of the Crown Prince would be eliminated.
