New Allies

Nemophila smiled gently, yet the princess’s face was twisted with confusion. “You would surrender your holy knight to another family?” she asked.

Nemophila smiled even harder, tilting her head slightly. “Bringing salvation to curions is a saint’s duty, is it not?”

“Hold on. Explain why you want Albert to kill him,” Orlaya interjected before her sister could get emotional.

“It’s simple. I decided to make use of it because I believed doing so would let me kill as many curions as possible. However, with Sir Albert here, it no longer serves any purpose.”

Oh boy. She’s hopeless. On the surface, Nemophila seemed kinda like me. But deep down, she was a fundamentally different case. Wanting revenge was fine—I had survived to get revenge on the witch, after all. But she was falling apart. It wasn’t that she was prepared to do whatever it took—she was just running wild. The death of her holy knight had broken her mentally, and now she was trying to take as many enemies with her as she could.

That was why she had brought one of the Twelve Corpses outside and used it to take on other curions. Now that she had found a more useful member of the Twelve Corpses, she was simply discarding her old tool. Getting rid of a dangerous tool might seem logical, but if she had truly been in her right mind, she wouldn’t have brought someone so dangerous into the outside world to begin with.

The princess had decided that I could be a potential partner for a variety or reasons, including Robert’s notes, the fact that I had killed all the other curions and drove back saints without killing them, and speaking to me personally to determine if I had any humanity left. Nemophila, however, hadn’t done that. She had freed the blue-haired asshole knowing full well that he wasn’t sane. She had willfully started off with the wrong move. She couldn’t be trusted.

“It currently possesses two abilities—the ability to create and control plants, Golden Garden, and the ability to cause earthquakes and landslides, Tremor Transmission. If he kills it, Sir Albert will obtain those two abilities.”

“What is it you seek in return?” asked Orlaya. Although she had likely also recognized Nemophila’s mental state, she seemed more interested in gathering information in case a dialogue could be established.

“I was hoping our families could share authority over Sir Albert.” She was throwing away an unwieldy tool that could break at any moment and replacing it with a new tool that seemed relatively stable. Because said tool belonged to Astrantia, she was proposing that they share it. “Personally, I would be satisfied simply killing curions, but my family originally intended to make use of its power. Yet aside from its role as a knight, it has proven utterly useless. Even when I commanded it as its princess to use Golden Garden, it simply froze up and wouldn’t activate it.”

Our abilities were controlled by our wills. If he wouldn’t use it even when ordered to, there was probably something weighing on the blue-haired holy knight’s mind.
