When the knights heard his ice-cold tone, they flinched. "That… uh… Your Majesty…" they stuttered. As they saw Miltiades clench his fist and sensed his bloodlust, they uncomfortably glanced at each other.

"We… we\'re sorry, Your Majesty. The saintess ran…"

"We should\'ve blocked her, but we couldn\'t recognize her. Please spare us!"

Miltiades didn\'t waste his words. "I don\'t need incompetent people." He gestured, and the knights\' faces went white. Immediately, other knights came in to take away the knights in the room.

Callian, who had rushed after Miltiades, arrived now and tilted his head at the knights. "Your Majesty, they…"

"They\'re useless." To Miltiades, they were nothing. It was more important to find where Amelia was. \'Where did she run off to as soon as she woke up? Dragging her unhealthy body around.\' "My daughter has disappeared. Find her now."

"Ah, I was late because I was going to talk to you about this," Callian said, and Miltiades turned to him, "Your Majesty, I heard that the saintess is at the western annex."

Miltiades stopped walking. He didn\'t know what was at the western annex. "Why is she over there?"

"That…" Callian carefully spoke as he saw Miltiades\'s eyebrows furrow. "The child is at the western annex. The one the saintess saved."

Miltiades\'s gaze changed. The atmosphere around him changed, and Callian couldn\'t hide the nervousness in his heart. He followed the cold-hearted Miltiades, hoping nothing would happen.

Kais looked at Harel.

To be precise, he looked at the priests who were hanging around and saying that they were looking over Harel\'s condition.

"Is this the child?"

"Yes, yes. He\'s the one the saintess saved with resurrection magic."

"Oh, how amazing… Isn\'t resurrection magic difficult even for the Pope?"

"You said she was six years old?"

"To think a child so young can already use high-level magic."

"His heart rate and breathing are all normal."

"I heard he was close to death, so isn\'t this pretty much reviving someone from the dead?"

The priests had said they were looking over Harel\'s condition, but they were only observing his body. Kais pushed down the urge to kick them all out and recalled when he had seen his younger brother encased in light. \'He was alive.\' Kais knew how many people had died in that room. Countless people had never returned.

"This would\'ve been impossible if she weren\'t the saintess."

"Being able to see this miracle is making me emotional."

"I\'m surprised that there\'s still this much divine power inside him."

The priests continued to look at Harel\'s condition in shock. However, in reality, they were only fawning over the "Saintess."

Kais found out something while listening to the conversation. \'That kid really is a Saintess.\' He had heard that she was, but he hadn\'t believed it. Moreover, there was a huge gap between what he had heard of and what he had seen.

Kais made a face. \'I still need to thank her. She saved Harel.\' He didn\'t think he would see her again, but he knew he needed to thank that kid, the saintess. Right when he decided to do it—

Creak!

The door opened, and a small girl came in.

"…" Kais became confused when he made eye contact with those red eyes. \'Why is she here?\'

"Saintess!"

As if she couldn\'t hear the voice behind her, Amelia ran inside and looked over at Harel. She was clad in a thin dress and was barefoot. With her pale white face on top of that, anyone could tell that she was in a worse condition than Harel.

Kais didn\'t understand. \'Why is she doing all this?\' He felt an unknown emotion creep up as Amelia looked over Harel.

Amelia observed Harel more carefully than the priests, and only then did she finally calmed down. A bright smile made its way to her lips, but she suddenly stumbled. "Ah!"

Kais thought that Amelia was going to fall, and by the time he realized it, he was holding her. His body had reacted first.

"…!" Amelia\'s red eyes widened in shock as she looked at Kais.

Kais didn\'t know how to react when she said that she couldn\'t wait to see him in ten years. Then, he instinctively looked up as he felt a thick bloodlust in the air. He didn\'t know when this man had appeared, but Miltiades was standing there.

Miltiades looked at Kais with his cold, golden eyes and immediately picked Amelia up into his arms as if he were protecting her.

\'This man…\' Kais thought that Miltiades was doing things that didn\'t suit him. The man who could destroy anything he wanted to if he put his mind to it was carefully carrying Amelia; it didn\'t suit him at all.

Miltiades glared at Kais as if he knew what the latter was thinking. \'I still don\'t like this kid.\' The one thing he hated more was that his arrogant child took care of this kid too much. \'Should I just kill him?\'

Just as the nervous energy in the air was about to explode…

"Huh?" Amelia tilted her head, and all the bloodlust instantly disappeared. She then looked at Miltiades and smiled. "Hi, Daddy!" Her smile was warm enough to melt the winter snow, and it broke through the cold atmosphere in the room. Miltiades was still expressionless, but Amelia didn\'t give up. "How can a human even look like this? It\'s not possible. Are you an angel, Dad?"

"…"

"Dad, when did you become so handsome? From the moment you were born?"

"…"

Amelia suddenly started sniffling. "The universe has to apologize to you. It didn\'t give you everything in it."

\'How can she say that in this situation?\' Miltiades laughed.

"Ugh. You\'re blinding me." Amelia\'s heart raced when she saw Miltiades\'s smile.

"Saintess," Luciana called Amelia to stop her, but it was no use.

"To think the universe doesn\'t know about my dad, I feel so bad for it!"

Luciana tried to comfort Amelia and sighed as if she was used to dealing with this. "Your Majesty, the saintess overused her body and she\'s weak. She needs to hurry and rest."

"…Take her." Miltiades didn\'t feel like it, but he put Amelia down.

Amelia turned around to smile at him. "Daddy! I\'ll see you later!"

Miltiades lightly nodded. Amelia looked at Harel one last time, then turned to Luciana with a worried expression. "Harel needs to get better soon. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I\'ll look over him well."

"Good job, good job. You\'re doing well, Luci!"

\'This little kid is hurt more! Why is she worried about others?\' They couldn\'t understand her. While they were watching her, Amelia started walking but suddenly stumbled.

"…!"

"…?"

Miltiades and Kais responded at the same time. They looked at each other and immediately pretended not to notice. \'At least he won\'t hurt her.\'

Amelia barely kept her balance and grinned. Luciana called for her with a sad expression, "Saintess…"

"I\'m fine!" Amelia smiled and reassured them, but no one believed her.

Luciana\'s face darkened. Farther away from them, Callian balled his fist with a pitiful expression. Right when Amelia was about to take another step, she felt herself lift in the air, "Huh?" She looked behind as she dangled in the air.

Miltiades had held her small body again. "I\'ll take you." He naturally picked her up.

Amelia\'s face brightened with that one phrase. "Okay!"

The warmth Miltiades felt from her small, round arm was unfamiliar but nice. He smiled at the ticklish feeling and started moving with the child in his arms.

As he walked past them, all the knights froze in place. \'The emperor of Rahel is holding a child?\'

Lepolius, the Lord of Yurigen, who had belatedly heard that the saintess woke up, also saw this scene and froze. "That… that\'s…" He didn\'t even think about how rude he was being as he pointed at them. "What did I just witness? His… His Majesty…"

Lepolius then asked his retainer, "Am I… dreaming right now?"

His retainer pinched his cheek and responded, "My Lord, you aren\'t.."
