An suppressed his instinct.

That was a sign that An trusted the saint's faith more than his own intuition.

Furthermore, if he didn't report what had happened to the commander, Mattia, he would be seriously acting irrationally.

"Saint Madia, I'm sorry. This is about the hero, Master Murphy..."

After closing the door and saying a few words.

Inside the gate of Crossmaria, the sound of shattering glass was heard.

-------------------------------------

"Saint Madi...ya...? Please, please calm down..."

calm.

Madia couldn't help but feel puzzled by the word that came out of Lalge An's mouth.

"Please calm down." This was the first time I heard someone say this to me.

In any case, this body has never lacked calmness, and that has not changed now.

Yes, I am still very calm now, my head is almost frozen because of the cold.

Madia blinked and gently opened her right hand that was holding the broken mirror.

The wound felt slightly hot and a little painful, but that was all.

"I'm calm now, Ann. There are more important things than that. Do you know when he left Crossmaria?"

Plop, plop, I feel blood dripping in my right hand.

I don't understand why I did such a thing.

Mattia frowned, but in order to maintain her expression and inner composure, she secretly adjusted her breathing.

Ann took the mirror fragment from Mattia's right hand, carefully bandaged it, and opened her mouth.

"The details are still unclear. I only know that it happened when the second star shone... Seriously, Saint Madia, what's wrong? You actually... acted so recklessly..."

As Mattia listened to Ann say things like "That's really unlike you," she slowly considered her words in her mind.

In the end, how would she respond? Mattia asked herself.

Even I don't know why my right hand makes those movements.

But, he, Murphy, left here late at night and hasn't returned yet.

When I realized that the report was true, the mirror on my right hand side shattered without me noticing.

No, I broke the mirror with my right hand.

Ah, as expected, that’s how it is.

Madia nodded to herself, as if her thoughts were only just catching up.

He didn't care about the pain creeping up from his right hand at all. Instead, a determination so hot that it almost burned his spine surged from his heart.

In order to remain calm, rationality used its own body to destroy the mirror.

This is how Mattia understood her behavior.

That's because, although the emotion that surged from my chest to my throat wasn't very strong, it was still unbearable.

So, my body restrained that emotion and forced my right hand to move recklessly.

This is the first time such a thing has happened.

Emotions force the body to act recklessly.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

"Besides, even if he hasn't returned yet, he might have just planned to rest somewhere after daybreak and ended up falling asleep."

"That's not the case. I'm afraid only a wild cat could have such an optimistic attitude. Ann, although you say that, it doesn't come from your heart, does it?"

An carefully applied the bandage and completed the emergency treatment.

Mattia completely denied that perfunctory remark, as if she was stating a self-evident fact.

"If he's not here now, then the destination is obvious. Even with your eyes closed you can see it."

Saying this, Madia pointed at the map on the table with her free left hand.

The target he was pointing at was the mercenary city of Belphein.

This is something that Crossmaria is currently troubled by, and she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Ann stared at the map and Mattia with wide eyes.

What is going on? What basis does the Saint have and why is she so sure?

Naturally, such questions arose in An's mind.

However, let's put Ann's confusion aside for now.

As far as Madia was concerned, it was a certain fact that Murphy had already headed towards Belphein.

Looking back, there have been several situations that have helped me realize this.

He has a personality that requires him to push himself into a desperate situation before he can feel at ease;

He also expressed his opposition to forming an alliance with Belphein, and then went to the office to read books that he would never read under normal circumstances.

shallow.

Mattia wasn't talking about Murphy, she was cursing herself.

Should have understood it long ago.

He, Murphy, is a person who simply cannot listen to what others say.

Even though I clearly told him not to show off, and even if I warned him like this beforehand, he would still quietly slip away as if nothing had happened.

He is that kind of person.

If he just doesn't listen to what others say, it's pointless to reason with him. He will just go down his own path.

What a willful person who doesn't consider the things around him.

No, it should be said that's him, that's his way of survival.

Through this incident, Mattia understood everything completely.

However, what Mattia found incredible was that her brain was even calmer than usual, so calm that it surprised her.

But my stomach was so hot that it was almost bubbling, and I could clearly feel the blood surging throughout my body.

Take a big, deep breath.

Mattia narrowed her eyes and suddenly saw Ann looking at her worriedly.

To reassure her, Madea smiled.

At the same time, tell him: Sorry for making you worry, everything is fine now.

Mattia moistened her lips and continued.

"Ann, I have an instruction for you. This is an order issued by the commander of the Heraldry Cult. Please prioritize it."

The speech is surprisingly fluent.

However, Mattia no longer knew whether these words were truly uttered based on her own calculations.

An regained his usual expression and nodded.

She is indeed a good helper. Even if she exposes her ugly side, she will still follow.

So, she should also understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Revise your strategy against Belphein. Please immediately prepare for a meeting with Belphein's envoy."

An's eyes suddenly widened, and then turned into silent words, as if asking Mattia: Is this really the right decision? Is this really an order after careful consideration?

But that was only a moment.

Mattia's calm eyes shone with an intellectual light, and she became an invisible spokesperson to answer Ann's gaze.

Seeing that, An decided on his course of action.

She nodded and rushed out of the room.

There is a mountain of things to do.

It was not just about adjusting Belphein's strategy, but also about controlling the hearts and minds of the people of Crossmaria and negotiating with important figures.

Really, it was too much trouble for her.

Ahh, I really hope this hard work will be rewarded.

In the office where only one person was left, Mattia looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

—Good, I understand, Murphy. You can't even manage yourself by yourself.

People should not deal with a horse that is in a frenzy.

Even if it is the right thing to do, a good thing, and helping others.

He should have known that no matter what the purpose was, he should not forcefully attack Belphein now.

Even he should be able to have this level of understanding.

Yes. He knew that.

But even so, he still couldn't stop.

Or, I don’t know how to stop.

If you think about it, Murphy can always easily escape from his own plan.

The Battle for Crossmaria, the attack and defense of the Hanging Garden Gasalia, and this time.

Very good, I understand it very well.

What he needs is not wisdom, not status, nor honor.

Mattia sighed deeply.

There is no way, really, there is no way at all.

For some reason, Mattia's eyes gently relaxed.

It was as if he was showing pity for something, with loving eyes.

Those could definitely be called the eyes of a saint, without a single exaggeration.

What Murphy needs is not those things.

But someone who can manage him.

No, Philia Reinhardt won't do that. She will only make Murphy's momentum stronger.

Frodo Volgograd is no good either, she will only make Murphy's loss of control worse.

He needs someone to manage him, someone to guide him onto the right path and make his actions rational again.

What he needs is someone who can manage everything in his life, which is necessary for him.

Through this incident, Mattia also understood.

Eyes, can't relax even for a moment on him.

Because his influence in the Church of Heraldry is already very great.

Therefore, I will not leave him alone anymore.

In this case, my emotions will not be able to calm down.

Yes, Madea finally found a place where she could put her feelings on Murphy.

Moreover, she even had the idea of ​​apologizing.

It was precisely because I didn't notice this that I kept pouring my messy feelings towards Murphy.

That's why he insisted on doing things recklessly and experienced so many painful memories.

If he was alone, he would never notice it.
