《Haslea Side》
ㅤ
Saint Kyrie has treated the disease of the Beast Kin Queen Mainecoon. . . . . .the next day’s events.
A carriage was headed towards the Beast Kin country Nelogoma.
ㅤ
Inside the carriage was Haslea, the villainous saint who had asked the crown prince to banish Kyrie.
ㅤ
“Ah, this is tiresome. The Beast Kin country is too far away. . . . . .”
ㅤ
When Haslea complained, a novice nun accompanying her asked.
ㅤ
“Haslea-sama, why are you going to the Beast Kin country?”
“Huh? Oh, you’re a newcomer, aren’t you? I’m going for the queen’s life-extension treatment.”
“Life-extension treatment. . . . . .not a fundamental cure?”
“That’s right. It can’t be helped; the queen has a disease called Crystalline Disease, an incurable disease.”
ㅤ
Crystallization disease.
A strange illness where the body gradually crystallizes.
ㅤ
When infected, it crystallizes from the extremities.
There’s intense pain associated with it.
ㅤ
“That’s where I come in. I’ll ease the pain with healing light and slow down the progression.”
“You can’t cure it?”
ㅤ
Despite being a saint, the surprising attitude of the novice was annoying.
Haslea felt that she was being belittled.
ㅤ
Haslea kicked the novice nun.
ㅤ
“Kyaa!”
“Don’t make a fool of me with your inexperience!”
ㅤ
Stomping on the sister with an irritating noise.
ㅤ
“I, I didn’t. . . . . .I just thought that with Haslea-sama’s power, you could cure it.”
“Ha! Impossible. If even this Haslea, the greatest saint in history, can’t cure it, nobody in the world can cure crystallization disease.”
ㅤ
Well, it could be cured.
But Haslea had never seen Kyrie treat it.
ㅤ
After a while,
Haslea and the sister arrived at the Beast Kin royal capital, Evashima.
ㅤ
Stopping the carriage at the royal castle and getting out. . . . . .
Haslea smiled at a nearby soldier.
ㅤ
“Hello, I am Saint Haslea, dispatched from the kingdom. I have come to visit Her Majesty the Queen.”
ㅤ
Then the soldier made an awkward face.
Wondering what was going on, the commander soon came and led her inside the castle.
ㅤ
. . . . . .And then, Haslea was led to the queen’s audience chamber.
ㅤ
“W, What. . . . . .Did you say?”
ㅤ
The queen said, looking very apologetic.
ㅤ
“I apologize for the late notice, Haslea-sama. The disease has already been cured.”
“W, Whaaaaaaaat?! Cu, cured?!”
ㅤ
The queen in front of her was the picture of health.
Previously, her complexion had been very poor due to the Crystalline Disease in her limbs affecting her circulation.
ㅤ
But now, look at her, her cheeks flushed, and most importantly, she was able to sit up on her own.
She really seemed to be cured. . . . . .
ㅤ
“It was cured just yesterday. We informed the kingdom by owl post, but there must have been a misunderstanding. I’m terribly sorry.”
ㅤ
From Haslea’s country, Geta・Niega, to Nelogoma, it took several days by carriage.
Therefore, when the owl post went out, she had already left the kingdom.
ㅤ
“YY, Yesterday?! Ho, how did it suddenly get cured?!”
ㅤ
It was a disease that had no chance of healing.
Haslea knew because she had been directly diagnosed and tried to treat it.
ㅤ
It was absolutely impossible to cure, and she should only have been able to provide life-extension treatment.
How could it be cured? Impossible!
ㅤ
“It was cured.”
“. . . . . . . . . . . .Yes?”
ㅤ
Now, an unbelievable statement came from the queen.
ㅤ
“Did I, did I mishear something? Cured?”
“Yes. By a very competent saint-sama.”
“A saint? Who?! There can’t be a saint with more ability than me!”
ㅤ
However, the queen said,
ㅤ
“It was cured by Saint Kyrie-sama.”
ㅤ
. . . . . .Huh?
Huh?
ㅤ
“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Kyrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?!”
ㅤ
Th, this is. . . . . .absurd! Nonsense!
Kyrie was supposed to have been buried in darkness by the crown prince!
ㅤ
A woman who no longer exists in this world, why?!
ㅤ
“Uh, don’t lie!!!!!”
ㅤ
Haslea approaches the queen briskly.
Dodging the guards who try to stop her, she grabs the queen’s arm.
ㅤ
“W, What are you doing?!”
“Lies! The crystalline disease can’t be cured! Come on, show me! You must be like me, only capable of life-prolonging treatment!”
ㅤ
Haslea takes off the queen’s glove and lifts the hem of her clothes. . . . . .
ㅤ
“It’s cured??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!”
ㅤ
Queen Mainecoon’s arm was completely healed.
The crystalline disease should progress from the extremities.
ㅤ
If the arm is healed, then the rest of the crystallization must be resolved as well.
ㅤ
“Impossible. . . . . .how. . . . . .why!”
“You rude person!”
ㅤ
The soldiers pin Haslea down.
ㅤ
“Hey! What are you doing! The rude ones are you guys, right?! I am a saint, a saint! And not just any saint, the highest-ranking Saint Haslea!”
ㅤ
But the queen looks down at Haslea coldly.
ㅤ
“Haslea-sama. . . . . .You said earlier, 『There should only be life-prolonging treatment』, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I did!”
“Strange, isn’t it. . . . . .You demanded a considerable amount of money from us for treatment fees, didn’t you?”
ㅤ
Ah, it seems Haslea realized her slip of the tongue.
ㅤ
“You said, 『I will do my best to cure it, but it will require a lot of money because it is an advanced treatment』, didn’t you?”
“Y, Yes. . . . . .”
“You also assured us that you could definitely cure it if you tried your best. But that was. . . . . .life-prolonging treatment? You approached the treatment knowing from the beginning that this crystalline disease would not be cured? Not to cure it, but to prolong life from the beginning? To fraudulently collect treatment fees by prolonging life?”
ㅤ
. . . . . .That was exactly the case.
She knew from the first visit that this was an incurable disease.
ㅤ
By calling it life-prolonging treatment, she would avoid tarnishing the name of the world’s top saint, 『Saint Haslea couldn’t cure the disease』
So, she planned to prolong life rather than cure it and, when the condition worsened and died, to shift the blame onto someone else and protect her brand.
ㅤ
『It almost cured, but someone’s fault caused it to die.』 she’d say.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Despicable.”
ㅤ
Softly, the novice sister who had accompanied her glared at Haslea with contempt.
The queen also looked down coldly.
ㅤ
“No, it’s not like that! I never deceived you! I was just about to cure it! Really! I’m not lying!”
ㅤ
Haslea ranted and raved.
Indeed, there might be a possibility that she was in the middle of treatment.
ㅤ
However.
ㅤ
“You clearly said it was life-prolonging treatment just now, didn’t you?”
“T, That, well. . . . . .”
“You didn’t have confidence in curing it from the beginning, right?”
ㅤ
. . . . . .That was exactly the case.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Enough. It’s true that you were able to prolong life. It did buy time until we met Kyrie-sama.”
ㅤ
Time, buying?
Until meeting Kyrie. . . . . .?
ㅤ
What’s that about?
ㅤ
“Don’t mess with me! That makes me look like a stepping stone for Kyrie! Someone as ugly as her! I’m greater than that failed defective saint!!!!”
ㅤ
Mainecoon and the Beast Kins all twisted their faces in displeasure.
They all trusted the saint who cured an incurable disease in an instant and took care of the evil rampant in their country.
ㅤ
So, when Kyrie was insulted, they were very angry.
ㅤ
“Take that woman to the prison.”
“Wha?! Prisonnnn?!”
ㅤ
The soldiers forcibly made Haslea stand up.
To her, it was incomprehensible.
ㅤ
“Why?!”
“Lying to the queen. . . . . .and above all, the foul language against the savior of this country, it cannot be overlooked.”
“What, the savior?!”
ㅤ
From the flow of the conversation, it seemed that Kyrie, who healed the queen, is the savior of this country.
It’s unbelievable; there’s no way Kyrie, whom I looked down upon, could cure the disease that I couldn’t!
ㅤ
“I’m inferior to someone like that, you say?!”
“Yes, that’s right.”
ㅤ
She was clearly told she was inferior.
By the queen. That she is less capable than Kyrie.
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama cured the illness in an instant. She earnestly prayed for me to heal. Compared to that, you took such a long time and could not cure it. You didn’t even intend to cure it from the beginning. . . . . . .As a saint, as a human being, isn’t it clear who is superior?”
ㅤ
Everyone present at the scene, even the novice handmaidens and sisters, shared the queen’s opinion.
That Kyrie is above Haslea and amazing.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Take her away.”
“No, no! Let go! Let me gooo!”
ㅤ
However, her resistance was in vain, and Haslea was taken to the Beast Kin nation’s prison.
ㅤ
“Damn it! Don’t mess with me! I am, I am a saint! The world’s best saint! I am better than Kyrie!”
ㅤ
But her screams echoed emptily.
No one in this country believed she was the best.
