'I came to request to work with the king because it was necessary to know the movements of the Hero, however, I know that it was an extremely risky movement, since if he were in some way in league with that bastard, it would be the end of me, fortunately things turned out a bit. little better than I imagined...I even ended up engaged to a beautiful girl, although that won't really happen if I don't kill that son of a bitch, although I feel a little bad about the fact that I'm getting engaged and not much has happened time since Saigara's death….'
"Aaaa I really lost my appetite for some reason, so I'll go back to the guild and get some sleep"
▲▲▲▲
´The day arrived, the morning routine does not change, I wake up, I go to have something for breakfast at the nearby stalls, I usually eat meat skewers, I don't know what kind of meat it is, but I am afraid to ask, it is also delicious so better I am left with the doubt and I enjoy it
'Then, I'm going directly to the dungeon, I wanted to go a little further today, but I have to be early, they didn't specify a time, but I'll try to go earlier than yesterday, though... probably the king will be upset, besides I'm your personal guard right? That means that I would have to be by his side from the beginning, but it is better not to make me notice more than necessary, the less people see me, the more difficult it will be for the hero to identify me when the time is right.´
'I really wanted to go far today, but I'll just go from floors 1 to 3 and leave, I'd rather not make the king too angry…'
▲▲▲▲
Arriving at the dungeon, Kaito easily cleared floors 1 and 3, but…..
´Getting too used to the enemies is quite effective, the bad thing is that it tends to get boring, and I pass it too fast… although maybe it is because I do the same as always, I activate the magic of light to blind them and then I kill them… maybe the day of I'll try it tomorrow without any magic or try the new magic I learned with Zhalika….Well, it's time to go back to the guild to bathe…I wanted to talk to the guys I saved yesterday, too bad I didn't see them, I hope they are good
▲▲▲▲
As Kaito returned to the guild to get rid of the sweat, Zhalika was a bit excited….
▲▲▲▲
Zhalika's pov
'Because of the excitement of sharing part of the day with Kaito, I couldn't sleep well... Wait, if I'm not mistaken, he became his personal guard, right? That means he will arrive early.
When Zhalika turned to look at the clock… she realized that it was already too late…
-I FELL ASLEEP!!!!
Tor was scared by such a cry, so he ran to his room and when he entered, he saw his daughter desperate for him trying to find something
-Zhalika, what's going on, are you okay?
-NO, it's already quite late and surely Kaito is about to arrive
-And what does that have to do with the fact that you are not well?
-Since you can't understand father, it's obvious, I have to get ready and look good for my future husband
-…..
Tor kept his thoughts from him, he knew that if he said what he thought, his daughter would surely scold him….
-Father
-Yeah?
-I'm going to change, so you could leave the room
-Oh yes, I'm sorry, don't take too long to have breakfast together
-I'll have breakfast until Kaito arrives, if you want to have breakfast without me, don't worry
-....
Yes, unfortunately Kaito didn't make it to breakfast for obvious reasons, so Zhalika got a bit sad… ..she even was about to go looking for him, although Tor stopped her in time, but that's a story for another time
▲▲▲▲
After Kaito finished bathing, he headed straight for the castle without wasting any time, and although he didn't have a watch, he guessed that it was at least earlier than yesterday from how the sun looked.
´I hope the guard lets me in, by the way, speaking of guards, I didn't see him again yesterday, I thought he would wait until I came out. What will have happened to him?'
"Well, I'm about to arrive and it's not like I care about the lives of those bastards, so I really don't care"
I've come to see the king.
Kaito arrived at the entrance, but unfortunately none of the guards who were there yesterday were there.
-No one can enter without an appointment, so get out of here
-No, wait a minute, that black hair…what's your name?
-Kaito
-Enters
-But what are you doing, you know that no one can enter without an appointment
-Yes, I know, but the king said that if a black-haired boy named Kaito came, we would let him pass, don't you remember?
-You're right, but….
-If you really don't believe me, I'll go in with him, okay?
-Alright
"Wow, really not everyone is as miserable as I imagined"
-Come on
-Yeah
Upon entering, neither Kaito nor the guard spoke, they remained in absolute silence until they reached the King's chambers.
Knock Knock
As he knocked on the door, Tor's voice was heard on the other side.
-Forward
"Did you finally deign to arrive, boy?"
-I'm sorry, but we don't meet at a specific time either, you know.
-Well, I'll retire your majesty.
-Yeah
And as soon as he left, Zhalika who was sitting next to him ran to Kaito's side.
-KAITOOOOOOOOO, I thought you wouldn't come
-I- I'm so sorry, I really didn't know what time to arrive
-I thought you had abandoned me or that you no longer wanted me to teach you magic
Forgive me, I'll make it up to you, okay?
-YESIII
Zhalika said that with a huge smile.
-Hey, stop flirting in front of me at least
-I'm sorry father, I couldn't contain myself. Well, we will go to the training room that is exclusive only for us.
-Wait Zhalika, they can't go alone
-Because?
-He's a good man, what's up and he wants to attack you
-That wouldn't matter, after all I'll be his wife, in fact I hope he does
-I forbid them then
-I'm sorry father, but if you do that, I will stop being your daughter, you decide
-B-but….
-Well, let's go Kaito
"I really promise never to make her angry"
▲▲▲▲
-Well, we won't go to the Kaito training ground, we'll go to my room
-Uh, why? Didn't you say you would teach me light magic?
-Yes, but you will see, the magic spells that I will teach you, only one is offensive, and the others are defensive, but first I will explain what the theory would be, so to speak, then if we have time we will let you practice a little
-I understand
-Don't you want to be alone with me, Kaito?
-No, not that, it just seemed a bit strange to me.
-That was it, don't worry, well we're here, come in
-Thank you, with permission.
-Your room is quite beautiful
-Do you really like it?
-Yeah
-Thank you, sit in the chair, while I go for water
-YEAH
"Really the room is quite beautiful, oh, a painting fell off"
When she picked up the painting, she could see Zhalika as a child, with her father and her mother smiling happily, it was a small image made by hand by one of the kingdom's artists.
-She really does look like her mother.
-I look like?
-Zhalika, forgive me for watching without your permission
Don't worry, it doesn't bother me.
-By the way, I haven't seen your mother….
-She is not here right now, because she was kidnapped by bael, no, the hero
-Hey? For what reason has she kidnapped your mother?
-For me to agree to marry him, if I don't, he said that he would kill her, but that is something that only I and my father know, the others think that she went on vacation
-That son of a bitch, he really deserves to die
-Yes, you have to kill him.
Do you think he can?
-You see, of the 6 heroes, he is the weakest. Also, having the plan that you and my father have, it will surely work out, although, if it were in a head-on fight, you would surely lose.
-By?
-Because he is quite skilled with magic and sword, out of the 6, he is the only one who can infuse magic into his sword, although no one knows how he does it
"Magic huh, if I kill him, maybe he can get that skill, it would be pretty cool to have a skill like that."
-Kaito?
Sorry, I got lost in my thoughts.
-Fufuf, don't worry, shall we begin?
-Yeah
-Let's start, I will tell you which are magic spells and how they are used, although you will not be able to acquire them all
-By?
-And presumably you already know that before they called me "The Saint", right?
-YES, by the way, why did they call you that? I don't see any church around
-You see, before the incident with the hero, I'm sure you've already heard it too, there was a church, and when I was about 6 years old I realized that I had magical abilities of light and an ancient legend said that people who pray every day get some light spells granted by some kind of god, and honestly I didn't believe in that, but there was nothing to lose in trying it, so after 3 years of going to church to pray I saw myself wrapped in a white light and it They granted a total of 6 spells. But later they prohibited me from entering the church since they considered me a heretic, my father could not stand that injustice and subtly burned the church and never built one again.
Although that doesn't matter right now, the magic I learned was…
-Wait, is it really okay for you to tell me?
-Yes, there is no need to hide those kinds of things from my husband.
-Okay then. "No, I don't think it's right, but I don't want to contradict her"
First and the main reason why I was called Santa, Zhalika explained all her abilities to Kaito.
▲▲▲▲
These are the spells that were granted to Zhalika: Divine Healing: She has the ability to heal wounds and diseases through the laying on of hands. This ability will only be acquired through devotion and prayer. You also have to be chosen by a divine entity or through a sacred rite.
Divine Protection: She is able to create a magical shield to protect herself and others from physical or magical damage and attacks. This ability will be developed through meditation and the study of ancient mystical texts. (This is the book that Zhalika was reading when Tor entered)
Divine Vision: He has the ability to see beyond what is visible, which allows him to perceive the past, the present, and the future. Through prophetic visions or premonitory dreams, this ability was granted to him by the same divine entity that gave him divine healing
Divine Channeling: She has the ability to channel the mana particles that are everywhere, although normal people cannot see them and they help a lot since she can cast spells and spells, both offensive and defensive.
And Holy Blessing: She can bestow blessings on others, enhancing her abilities or protecting them from evils. To acquire this ability, the saint would have to be considered an archetype of virtue and purity, and have performed acts of benevolence and mercy.
Yes, the last ability no longer has it for obvious reasons.
