After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

That's it, there's one more thing left.

Aize looked to the side and saw Anna, who was lying on the sofa and already fast asleep.

The attack on her was not that simple.

But let's wait until tomorrow, until she has a good rest.

After instructing the puppet maid to carry Anna to an empty room to rest, Aize stood up and stretched carefully to avoid the wound he had stabbed from splitting.

"I'm so tired today. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep."

"OK, good night."

Aize went to the bathroom, wiped off his own and his enemy's blood with a hot towel, applied medicine, wrapped a bandage on his body, changed into pajamas and returned to the room.

Then, he saw Villian lying on his bed.

"..."

It must be the wrong way to open the door.

Close the door, then open it again.

Still.

Aize narrowed his eyes.

"…Why are you here?"

"When the Knights invaded today, they destroyed all the beds in the house, leaving only your room and mine. My room was given to Anna, so I have no choice but to sleep here~"

"...You definitely did this on purpose, deliberately luring people over to dismantle the bed!?"

Besides, with Vivian's ability, a broken bed can be repaired in minutes, otherwise Anna would probably have no bed to sleep on right now.

"Hey☆~"

Villian stuck out her tongue and gave a cute smile, which was considered as her agreement.

But on Aize's side, he just felt that he deserved a beating.

Every time the atmosphere gets a little better, the next thing I do is to throw all the accumulated emotions out into the air.

In a sense, this is genius.

Aize, exhausted both physically and mentally, didn't want to get entangled and turned away.

"I'm going to sleep on the sofa, good night."

"Wait—why!? Would a normal person make such a choice at a time like this?!"

"I'm tired and just want to sleep."

"So come here quickly, I won't do anything other than sleep... Are you serious? Come back soon!"

"Good night."

"Wait, I'm kidding. I'll fix the bed right away. You'll catch a cold if you sleep on the couch! Come back soon!"

Unaffected by the assassination attempt, the usual noise echoed in the mansion.

Chapter 53: Her Royal Highness, died

As a princess and God's chosen hero, Heidi can be said to have the most noble status among all humans in the kingdom and even in the world.

Her every move will be regarded as a symbol of this identity, so she has to be extremely careful in what she says and does.

Whether in the palace, the military camp, or any party venue, she had to restrain herself.

And time like now, to rest alone in a hotel, is very rare.

She was so relaxed that she slept in till the sun was high in the sky.

Then--

"Heidi Yalter, what the hell are you doing here!?"

The noisy and familiar voice suddenly pulled Heidi out of her sleep.

She opened her eyes and saw Leia standing in front of her in full armor, holding the unsheathed holy sword in her hand.

Behind her, the bedroom door was cut in half, and bursts of green smoke were still rising from the cut - this was the mark left by the holy sword's slash.

Heidi was very angry at the rude and rude behavior of breaking into the room of a sleeping lady.

"Leah!? What the hell is wrong with you!?"

"This is my problem! Didn't you come here to negotiate with the nobles and request reinforcements and supplies? Where are the reinforcements? Where are the supplies? The Knights are starving to death, and you're actually sleeping here!?"

Leah brought her people and rushed here from Anlin Plain overnight.

As soon as they entered the city, without even taking a rest, they sent people to search the whole city for Heidi's whereabouts.

The so-called search meant rushing into hotels and asking one by one if there was a short red-haired woman staying there - now the whole city knew that the Holy War Knights were looking for a short red-haired woman.

After searching for half the morning, I finally found her here.

Leah was so anxious that she didn't hesitate and just blocked the door.

Seeing that Heidi was still dazed, she became more and more annoyed and reached out to pull her out of the bed, but Heidi opened her hand.

"I can get up on my own!"

Her Highness the Princess sighed.

I thought I could escape this idiot by running to Tafia, but who would have thought he would chase me like a ghost.

As long as Aize doesn't come back, I will probably have no peace for the whole day.

uncomfortable.

Heidi stretched her body a little, got up slowly, washed and dressed, then took off her pajamas, changed into casual clothes, and sat down at the table by the window.

He waved to Leah.

"Put down the holy sword and have a drink. Look at your dark circles and skin. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were stung by a jellyfish."

As he spoke, he placed two glasses on the table and poured in the high-end red wine that he hadn't finished last night.

Although Leah was anxious, the high-intensity work in the past few days had indeed made her exhausted and nervous.

Looking at the high-end goods in front of her, she unconsciously licked her cracked lips, put the holy sword back into the scabbard, and sat down opposite Heidi.

He picked up the cup and drank it all, then frowned.

"Tsk, it's a bit too astringent."

Wild boars can't eat fine bran - Heidi cursed in her heart, but she still poured her another cup.

After all, drinking a little alcohol can keep her out of trouble, so Heidi has nothing to be unhappy about.

"Why are you so miserable? Did something happen at the camp?"

"Nothing, just finishing up some unfinished work for that bastard who ran away."

"Eze's...paperwork?"

"correct."

Heidi's eyes widened.

In the past, in order to play the role of a virtuous and capable fiancée in front of Aize, she had tried to help Aize complete the work.

As a result, he gave up after just two days.

The strongest defense among the heroes, which even monsters could not break through, fell so easily in front of a mountain of paper.

From that day on, Heidi never again thought of helping Aize with the paperwork.

So, this woman actually thought she could replace Aize in this area, and even actually tried?

I don’t know if she’s too brave or simply brainless...Excuse me, she really is brainless.

Heidi picked up the glass, shook it, took a sip, and asked:

"So, what are you doing in Tafea? Didn't we make an appointment for a week? And it's not even here yet?"

"Supplies are running out, we can't wait even a day."

Leah just agreed to the one-week deadline casually without really considering the actual situation of the team.

It's inevitable that I'm a little overwhelmed now.

After finishing her drink once more, Leah placed the glass heavily on the table.

"How are your negotiations with the local nobles going? When will they hand over the things?"

Let’s talk about this topic again.

Heidi sighed.

"Liya, negotiating with the nobles is very troublesome. How can it be so simple? Go back first and control the supply to hold out for a few days. I will be able to handle it quickly."

Heidi was very sure that after yesterday's fake divorce, she was in an absolutely advantageous position.

At this moment, Aize must be like an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles, anxious to repair his engagement with himself.

He will definitely be back within three days, and by then he will be able to easily deal with the nobles.

To do this, Leah, the unstable crazy woman, must be squeezed out to prevent her from causing trouble.

Meanwhile, after a few drinks, Leah felt much better and her temper wasn't as bad as before.

She shook her head and said:

"I can't wait even a day. This time, I'm going to bring back some emergency supplies. Just enough for a few days. The local nobles can make up the rest later."

I'm here to beg for food, so why do I act like a tax collector?

Will you make up for it later?

Laugh to death.

Heidi hid her contemptuous expression, took a sip of red wine lightly and gracefully, and asked curiously:

"Aren't you planning a large-scale attack on the demon territory? How come a few days of supplies are enough?"

"If we can hold on for a few days, reinforcements and supplies from the Holy City should arrive."

The princess frowned.

"Holy City? Why would reinforcements come from the Holy City?"

"Because I wrote them a letter."

"letter?"

"Well, I told them we were missing a hero and asked them to send reinforcements... What's wrong? Why did you suddenly look so grim?"

Leah watched as Heidi lost all color, her lips and pupils began to tremble, and her voice became weak and shaky.

"……What did you say?"

"Request support."

"...No, I, I said the first sentence."

"Tell them that we are missing a hero."

The wine glass in Heidi's hand was crushed into pieces.

Losing control of her emotions, she suddenly stood up, grabbed Leah's armor, and shook it recklessly:

"You, you reported Aize's departure to the Holy City!?"

"Yeah, what's so exciting about this?"

Leah didn't understand why Heidi reacted like that, but after all, she had just drunk her wine and it was not appropriate for her to get angry, so she just looked at her in confusion.

Then he said:

"That idiot has been in the team for so long, holding us back so much. Now that he's gone, why should I keep it a secret? Of course I have to let the church know."
