After Sylvia finished her meal, Gina suddenly became curious and asked Calogero. “…Come to think of it, Edward said that your name, Calogero, was a fake. …But you still go by Calogero, right?” Calogero responded, “Yes”, nodding as if he had just remembered, and answered with a smile. “Now that you mention it, I guess I hadn’t told you. I changed my name. I felt sorry for the parents who named me, but I had spent too many years under a false name. I explained the situation and…-

The oxen mooed as they leisurely pulled the cart. —Then. “Outta the way!” A rough-looking man ran toward them. “Lady Sylvia!” Gina tried to shield Sylvia, but Sylvia had already readied her slingshot. She accurately shot and shattered the man’s knee. “Gah!?” The man collapsed. “I didn’t really get what was going on, so I just made sure he couldn’t run.” Sylvia said in a flat voice, and Gina drew her dagger, carefully observing the man and the…

After having lunch, Sylvia went out either to oversee repairs within the castle or to inspect the town. Since Gina and Edward had used the horses for travel, Sylvia went out using oxen instead. Edward later found out and gazed off into the distance, muttering, ‘An ox cart…’ But Sylvia had thought it was perfectly fine; horses were for carrying people, so oxen should carry the luggage. More than anything, the oxen had looked happy. By the way, there was no coachman. Sylvia had sat…

“Good morning, Lady Sylvia. The weather’s lovely again today!” Gina cheerfully greeted while opening the curtains. Mumbling sleepily, Sylvia rubbed her drowsy eyes and slowly sat up. Then, after a big yawn, “Good morning,” she replied to Gina. Gina helped Sylvia wash her face and tie her hair. She wanted to style it in various ways, but Sylvia’s hair was so fine and smooth that even tying it was a challenge. No matter how she tried, the hair ornaments kept sliding off, so…

Several months had passed. Edward and Gina were extremely busy. The reconstruction plans were going smoothly, and Sylvia and Edward no longer needed to stay with the Mayor constantly – the townspeople were mostly able to manage things on their own. That was good news, but the fortress itself was falling way behind. Since Calogero had left for the neighboring country, they hired several candidates for the butler position, but none of them were as capable as Calogero. In the end, Gina and…

Edward returned to the fortress and decided to settle the final issue. Sylvia snuggled up to Enma, who had come to welcome them. As the two happily headed back to their room, Gina tried to follow them, but Edward stopped her. “Gina.” “Yes?” Gina turned around, puzzled to see Edward looking at her with an unusually serious expression. She could tell he had something to say, but the look on his face screamed how difficult it was for him to say it. And she was right; that was…

A few days later, a herald arrived from the neighboring country. It was said that Baron Eliseo and Marquis Onofrio would be coming to the fortress. This was one of Edward’s plans. He had sent a letter of accusation to both families, stating: ‘A beautiful boy who seems to have been exiled from the neighboring country over ten years ago is now working at the fortress as a priest. He appears to be frightened by something, and there has been an attack on the fortress by what seem to be assassins…

Calogero closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he suddenly began to speak to the three of them. “I possess a skill called ‘Illuminating Sin’, which allows me to see people’s sins.” Gina was astonished, and Edward furrowed his brow. “Edward, I can see in you a level of sin I haven’t seen in a long time. I can only grasp it roughly, but it’s clear that in the past you deceived someone and committed theft. …So I started investigating, but when we last spoke… You don’t seem…

Sylvia was sleeping beside Gina. Gina’s wounds were healing well, almost to the point of being unnoticeable. Still, she thought, ‘If I push myself and something happens during the next attack, I won’t be able to protect Lady Sylvia.’ So, she decided to take it easy until she was fully recovered. That said, sleeping next to Sylvia wasn’t exactly strenuous. Sylvia had become emotionally unstable after Edward’s departure. The idea of also losing Gina made her anxious, so she kept…
