The Human Saint is Bored, so I was Summoned to Another World

All's Well that Ends Well? (Vol. 3 Epilogue)

It was the spread of the 'Mahan Swordsmanship Style School' that caused us to be rescued by Her Holiness and Her Fluffy Holiness. They also correctly suspected that Lily founded it, and so they rushed to Hagena, just in time to intervene on our side in the Battle of Hagena Castle.

With Lily returning with us to the Holy Palatial Gardens, there was no one left in Hagena to continue the school...that was, until Lily's old student, Anton, took over it and began accepting pupils as well.

In time, Hagena would become a major city because of the Mahan Swordsmanship Style School, but it's for another story.

As for us, we just wanted to arrive and take our well-deserved rest. Maddie was exhausted with all the arrangements she had to make in Calabria, for the king here wasn't that cooperative once she meddled with his internal politics. Lily was itching to go back to her maid duties...but Maddie and I expressly forbidden her to, at least not until she had completely recovered from her injuries.

"I told you, I'm good!" she would often say to us.

"Nope. Back to your bedroom you go!" Maddie would counter her.

I think their roles were reversed for now. Maddie was the one who was monitoring her maid, for if she won't, Lily would surely disobey her. I couldn't help but watch them in amusement.

What an irony!

In the meantime, I needed to plan my next course of action.

"..."

The fallout of that affair back in Hagena caused Lily's identity as the Iron Princess to spread around. Tales of her heroics in that battle scattered because of the traveling minstrels looking for interesting stories to sing. I'm pretty sure that because of the relative distance between Nerfes and Calabria, the Calabrians may not know much about the 'Bloody Witch', even if that identity of hers was that infamous.

I'm talking about them not experiencing her terror, so she's more like a distant, scary figure to them...more equal to a bogeyman than a real threat.

However, it's of a different matter with the former refugees and their families who were alive during that time.

It took me some time before I convinced Grandma Margie about Lily's true condition, and Maddie backed me up. However, we made her understand in the end...

The young girl, Mariya, was too innocent when those horrible things were committed by Lily, and so she was also quick to convince.

Well, it's the benefit of seeing 'Lily's kindness and reformed character'—for short, living with them, first-hand.

But the other former refugees were stubborn. They, too, witnessed and experienced the atrocities committed by Lily as the Bloody Witch. However, the big difference was that they didn't get to know the 'other side' of the witch, thus, they remained unforgiving and bitter.

Maddie considered punishing them, but Lily and I stopped her. Their sentiments were well-understood, and instead of forcing them to forgive, it'd be better if we make them decide on their if Lily truly deserved their sympathy.

And speaking of sympathy, there's that issue with her family as well. I guess we should also tackle that problem, too? If we could, that is.

Another bunch of work for me...

"..."

It's okay. I guess that's the reason God played that chess with me before I was resurrected. To make me realize that she's the 'queen' that I needed to save from getting trapped and isolated...
