After an audience with his brother King Granard, Raidorl returned to the house he had been given.
In the early days of the war against the empire, the vast mansion in the middle of the noble district was a lonely place where he was alone with his maid Neimilia, but now a third resident has taken up residence.
She was brought to this house as a prisoner of war, and now wears neither military uniform nor mithril armor, but a simple white blouse and navy blue skirt.
“It’s not for me to say, but…… if you’re a royalthy, you should behave with a little more decency. To begin with, if it was the holy sword you want, wouldn’t it be on your hip?”
The woman’s gently swollen breasts have a black mark engraved just above the heart.
Similar to the one engraved on Granard’s chest, it is a “sealing curse” placed by the cursed holy sword, the Dáinsleif.
“It is an adaptation of a curse …… that my ancestors once used to seal a witch. Even with the power of the Dáinsleif, I can’t block the power of the ClaĂomh Solas, a holy sword of equal rank.But it is possible to seal the power of the holder of the holy sword and temporarily separate it from the holy sword.”
“Hi….a….a….”
“It’s only a temporary curse, it will break eventually. ………… What’s wrong?”
The woman crying like a child in front of him is the holy sword holder who had once hunted him down on the battlefield and to Raidorl she did not seem to fit together.
Raidorl looked at her crying face for a while and then nodded his head somewhat later as if he was satisfied.
“Oh, yeah. Normal women doesn’t like to be seen naked. ……”
With this all-too-common realization, Raidorl put his own jacket over her naked body even though is was too late.
