He raised his head and kissed Jeanne gently - a sign that they would continue like this.

The sobbing of his sister pierced the boy's heart.

He now only hoped that during the next meeting, Charles VII would not simply want to see the saint.

He wasn't sure if he could stay calm in that situation.

maybe--

He would really turn into Fafnir on the spot.

【You have successfully transformed Jeanne into your shape.】

[Her emotions gradually became stable due to this contact with the rabbits.]

【After climbing over a mountain and crossing two rivers. 】

【You have finally arrived in Bourges, where Charles VII is. 】

【But the direction of things is beyond your expectations. 】

Charles VII and a large group of soldiers hurried to the bridge where Ian and Joan of Arc were.

"Are you Jeanne d'Arc?"

He asked hurriedly with a panicked tone that was totally inappropriate for someone of his status.

"Yes, I am Jeanne d'Arc."

As soon as he finished speaking, Charles VII knelt on the ground.

He began to beg:

"Finally see you!"

"Please, please save France!"

"Drive all those dragons out of England!"

"what?!"

200. Sensitive Stepsister/The Dragon of England/Charles VII's Hope for a Saint (4k)

[You can't believe what you're hearing - what is a dragon in England?]

【But you understand that at this point, Charles VII is unlikely to say anything useless. 】

[You realize that the current situation in France may be much worse than it seems.]

[You fell into deep thought.]

Compared to her brother's pensive look, Joan of Arc seemed even more confused.

She didn't even realize what Charles VII meant by this.

However, the girl knew that it was wrong to ask the prince to kneel down to her no matter what.

"Please get up first, Your Highness."

“It’s going to be a terrible feeling if this continues.”

After hearing Joan of Arc's words, Charles VII slowly stood up.

He was a thin man, and the purple noble suit he was wearing didn't seem to fit him well.

He looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot - it was obvious that he had not had a good rest for a long time.

However, although the appearance looks quite bad, it can even be said to be a little shabby.

But at this moment Charles VII seemed very excited.

He was like a person who had been trapped in darkness for a long time and suddenly saw the light he had been longing for.

"God bless France!"

"I've finally got you, Saint!"

"My persistence is indeed meaningful!!!"

After saying a series of words of gratitude, Charles VII finally noticed Ian beside Joan of Arc.

"Who is this……"

Before Ian could open his mouth to answer Charles VII's question, Joan of Arc took her brother's hand.

Her face was slightly red, and she looked shy and very young.

But the girl's tone when answering this question was extremely firm, as if it was destined.

"Your Highness, this is my love."

After saying this, Jeanne glanced to the side, secretly observing her brother's reaction.

The latter naturally understood his sister's little thoughts. He smiled slightly and agreed with this statement.

"The saint's lover?!"

Charles VII reacted and immediately looked at Ian with equal respect.

There was uncontrollable excitement in his words.

"Good! Great!"

"The lover of a saint must also be a saint!"

“Two saints appearing here at the same time… This is the Lord helping us!”

"God bless France!"

However, in the face of this praise from Charles VII, Ian did not become arrogant.

"Your Highness...I am not a saint."

Ian took a step back, allowing Jeanne to stick out a little.

“She is a saint.”

"besides--"

The boy looked around at his surroundings.

"We don't need to stand by the bridge all the time, right?"

"Hey, you're right!"

Charles VII slapped his head, then turned around and gave orders to the soldiers behind him.

"Escort the saint and his lover into the city!"

[At Charles VII's signal, you and Joan of Arc were escorted forward by French soldiers.]

[This attitude is unprecedented.]

【You realize that Charles VII thinks highly of you.】

You enter the castle of Chinon - the only thing in Bourges and its environs that still resembles a symbol of dominance.

[You and Jeanne have been treated with the highest level of courtesy here.]

【But... they don't seem ideal. 】

Looking at the food in front of him, Ian's expression looked a little heavy.

Although it was the "highest level of hospitality", the dishes served still looked very shabby.

Charles VII certainly understood this.

He immediately shouted:

"What do you mean? This is the saint who can save France and her lover! How can you serve them this kind of food?!"

"Pour it out for me and get something better!"

The scolded maid looked embarrassed at this moment.

"But Your Highness... this is the best we can find."

"This……"

Charles VII's expression became a little embarrassed for a moment.

The excitement of welcoming Joan of Arc almost made him forget his own predicament - France is not as wealthy as before.

"Your Highness, it's okay~"

Jeanne picked up the food from the plate and smiled.

“It’s great to have food like this!”

"Right, brother... Mr. Pierre?"

Of course Ian would not ruin his sister's career.

He quickly followed with a nod.

"Yes, it's great to have food like this."

"and--"

The young man looked at Charles VII with sharp eyes.

"Rather than food or anything like that, the Saint and I care more about what the Prince is talking about, 'England's dragon'."

"I see."

Charles VII sighed heavily - he knew that the other party was giving him a way out.

"I understand."

"Things...are like this."

【Charles VII tells you and Joan of Arc about the "Dragon of England."】

[This is an era where magic exists, and it is also an era where dragons exist. ]

[Mysteries on all sides are intertwined in this war. ]

[England tamed several powerful dragons by some unknown means and released them onto the battlefield.]

[This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to France - after all, humans are very vulnerable in front of dragons, even with the bonus of magic.]

[Because of this, the French army was helpless in the war and suffered a series of setbacks.]

[This is also why Charles VII was so excited - because Joan of Arc "really" drove away the dragon.]

[In other words, she who is "special attacking" against the dragon is the hope of this war. ]

【Listening to these words, you realize that the situation seems to be beyond your control. 】

"Anyway, this is our current situation."

Charles VII, who had told the truth about the twelve thousand, looked at the two people in front of him.

"Saints and their lovers, you are the only hope in this war."

"Please, save France!"

Joan of Arc was about to answer Charles VII but was stopped by Ian.

The latter looked at the crown prince who made a sincere request and spoke calmly.

"Can you give us a moment to think about this?"

"..."

There was a flash of disappointment in Charles VII's eyes, but he still nodded very respectfully.

"I understand."

"This is indeed not something that can be settled in a short time - so, you should take a rest first."

【Charles VII has arranged the best rooms for you. 】

[That's the place in the castle where you can get a bird's eye view of the entire Chinon.]

The room is large and luxurious.
