“Liserotte Niclas! You have neglected your duties as the supreme saint by staying in your room and painting all the time! Therefore, I revoke your Supreme Saint status and our engagement!”
The Crown Prince’s blue eyes were the color of anger, and he pointed his index finger at me.
“With all due respect, Your Highness, I am doing my duty as Supreme Saint. Every morning I pray to the crystal and put up barriers all over the country. And I have his majesty’s permission to paint during my rest time.”
My job as Supreme Saint is to pray every morning in front of the crystal in the temple and set a ward to cover all of the Hallstein Kingdom’s land.
There are many saints who heal the wounded, but I am the only Supreme Saint who sets barriers.
It takes a tremendous amount of magical power to build a protective barrier. I cannot do any other work because I have used up a whole day’s magic.
Once the barrier is done, the rest of the day is free. Since I like to paint, His Majesty gave me paints and canvases to paint in my free time.
“Shut up! While you were painting your horrid pictures of flaming lizards, eight-legged horses, and old men’s heads, your sister Mira was doing the saint’s work! Mira was doing the hard work of treating the wounded and listening to the poor!”
My half-sister Mira quickly stands next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
I know that treating the wounded is a saint’s job. But I did not know that it was a saint’s job to listen to the poor.
His Majesty always said, “Liserotte only has to put up wards, the rest of the time you can paint as you like…”
The treatment of the injured could be done with magic, but it was impossible to listen to people’s concerns with magic alone. I should have asked His Majesty a little more about the work of the saints.
“Mira is much more suitable for the Supreme Saint than you! Therefore, I appoint your sister Mira as my new fiancée and the new Supreme Saint!”
The Crown Prince puts his hand on Mira’s shoulder.
“Rest assured. Onee-sama’s place as a Supreme Saint will be taken by me. I’ll do better than you, both as the prince’s fiancee and Supreme Saint.”
Mira looks at me and giggles.
“But Mira alone will not be up to the task of setting up barriers…”
As Supreme Saint, I have lived in the royal palace since I was eight years old and have cast barriers all over the country.
This is because my magic power was unmatched, while my sister Mira’s was just a little above average.
“I don’t have to be the Crown Prince’s fiancée, nor do I need the status of a supreme saint. But please let me do my job and put up the barrier as before!”
