"Welcome to the Church of Celestia, Duchess Adelyn. Firstly, I would like to say my condolences for your loss. Duke Austin was a good man."
"Thank you for your kindness, Archbishop Clayton. Did guests arrive?"
When we arrived at the church, Archbishop Clayton welcomed us in front of the church, and Adelyn and I started talking.
However, the thing that got my attention was not their talk or any other thing.
No, it was yellow hair shining like a sun.
The body started developing in some areas even though she was just 13.
The clothes are not revealing but not that conservative either, just enough to attract attention, but they can't be considered obscene.
One of the heroines, Alicia Montalet, the candidate for the future Saintess of the world.
The moment I saw that yellow hair shining, I knew it was her. Although I have said that she betrayed me, the lingering feelings of the previous owner, Callius, didn't disappear when our souls merged.
And it seems the affection he was holding is still there. However, I will kill it.
I will kill all those unnecessary feelings. She is my enemy, and I will never show any hesitation to kill my enemies.
Even if that means abandoning my humanity, it doesn't matter.
The things she will do, the actions she will take in the future, I know everything. I know what kind of person she is and her family. I know all of it.
Right now, I feel like puking and throwing up everything I have eaten today.
Those lingering feelings of affection for such a whore make me sick.
And there are two other people next to her doesn't help either.
Another yellow-haired kid is next to her, and you can guess his identity from the look she is giving him.
Arthur Nightlance, the main protagonist of the game and my possible biggest enemy as well as a most significant asset for the future. He is finally here, in the flesh.
Of course, he would be here, as a 'childhood friend' of Emma; how could he miss this chance to be the shoulder for her to cry?
Although I don't know how the brain of his works, I don't think he has pure intentions right now.
This bastard was the definition of the dumb protagonist with a strong sense of justice at the beginning of the game, while later on, he became the scumbag who only divulged in worldly pleasures and degraded his whole life to the bare minimum.
And, the last person next to Arthur.
A blue-haired, green-eyed girl with a slender body.
Her jade white skin with her green dress complimented her slender figure.
Another heroine as well as a member of the childhood friend group.
Celia Leafsnow, the heroine with one of the strongest combat progress with the blood of mages flowing through her veins.
Of course, she would also be there since her family is also one of the main dukes of this country.
Then, now it came to this, let me explain a bit about the political structures of our country.
Our country's name is the Wraslugia Kingdom which occupies the west side of the world.
It is ruled by the royal family of Valiana and has four duke houses.
And as you can expect, all those duke houses host either a heroine or the MC itself.
Augustride Dukedom – Emma Augustride
Nightlance Dukedom – Arthur Nightlance
Leafsnow Dukedom – Celia Leafsnow
Montalet Dukedom – Alicia Montalet
And it is not that hard to understand that those four are childhood friends.
Although the dukes are competing with each other, when it comes to the association of children, they are actually encouraging them.
This is a tradition that was passed by the founder of this country and his four vassal friends.
Normally, the princes and princesses of this country would also be included in this friend group; however, right now, because of some unknown reasons, the royal family refuses to send their children outside of the palace.
Anyway, because of that tradition, the children of duke families would interact and befriend each other.
This is why those four were childhood friends since they were all born in the same year, and they all are the same age.
And you can see the sad but at the same time relieved expression on Emma's face. It seems she was itching to meet her 'beloved' and cry on his shoulders.
How weak. If that is what you learned from Father, then you should just end your life; such a pathetic thing.
While I was thinking, I heard the voice of Archbishop Clayton saying.
"Ah, it seems youngsters are also here. Lady Diana, you are just like they have said, like a fairy."
He said while looking at Diana. However, the expression on Diana's face was not that good.
"Thank you for your compliments, Archbishop. You are flattering me."
She said while showing the courtesy of noble children while grabbing her dress.
However, I can see the disgusted expression on her face.
"No, no. You have the rare class, Fairy. You will be an important figure for our country in the future, and I hope to see you in those glorious days."
The archbishop said.
The fact that Diana has the fairy class is not a secret since Austin himself made it known to increase the standing of our family.
After that, he turned his attention to Emma.
"Lady Emma, I see you have increased your rank; congratulations. As expected from the blood flowing in your veins, you are one of the most talented people."
He said to Emma, and another one of noble courtesy thing started.
After he said that, Clayton turned his attention to me.
However, this time he didn't have a flattering expression but a smirk.
"Ah, Callius, you are here as well. How-"
He started talking while smiling, but this guy… He didn't use any honorifics while calling my name.
"You are not qualified to call me by name, servant of the church. Next time if you call me like that again, I will take that as an insult to our family, and you will face the consequences of your actions."
I said while looking at his face.
The moment I said that his face suddenly got red.
"You! Who do you think you are? You ba-"
"That is enough, Archbishop. No need to make a scene."
When he started increasing his voice, suddenly, Adelyn stepped in to stop things from escalating.
At that time, he realized the looks people around us gave. How sad. I was hoping that he would fall for my provocation, but Adelyn is not that blind.
"Ah, cough, cough. I am sorry 'Lord Callius', it was rude of me."
He said while bowing his head a bit. However, I can see the hatred in his eyes. Such pride without the strength to back it up will one day be his end.
However, it seems, Adelyn understood they were beaten in their own game.
Well, it was her fault to use this stupid pig as her pawn.
Did she really think I wouldn't understand her stupid little plan to provoke me?
Since the people around us also started noticing that little commotion, she needed to step in and end this little façade.
Anyway, this little commotion itself also caught the attention of our little 'friend group'.
"Emma, you are finally here. How have you been? I heard the things that happened. Are you okay?"
At that moment, I heard the familiar sound I had been hearing before I came to this world.
Our yellow-haired protagonist, seeing his childhood friend, immediately came and greeted us.
"Ah, Arthur. Don't worry; I am okay. Still, thank you for coming immediately."
Seeing this, Emma greeted him back.
After that, the other three also came near us and started greeting each other.
"Emma, I am sorry. Are you okay? When I heard the news, I was really shocked. Uncle Austin, is he really gone?"
The second heroine, Celia, came and hugged Emma.
She and Austin had a close relationship since they were both mages. Austin said one time that Celia was really talented, even more than her mother or father.
Therefore, it is no wonder that she was really sad.
After that, it was our precious 'Saintess' Candidate's turn.
Alicia greeted us after getting beside Arthur.
"I am deeply sorry for your loss, Emma. I hope we can catch those people who have a hand in this conspiracy."
She said while bowing her head.
It was also like that in the game too.
Although Alicia and Emma were childhood friends, they were not that close to each other. It was like the thing that was holding them close was their feelings for Arthur; if not for that, they wouldn't be friends.
She said that and turned her attention to me.
However, this time, her gaze was different. If at the beginning she had a sad expression, right now she had a slight smile on her face that can only be seen by me...
