Up until now, Lelia thought that misfortunes would come all at once, and that happiness would only stay for a moment.

It's always been like that.

However, it was not the case this time.

One good thing happened to her, and other good things kept happening one after another.

"Sir Raymond, Princess Julianna accepted my confession!"

As she listened to Ruth during his late night visit, Lelia was filled with joy.

She was so happy that she wanted to scream.

She was so happy that she almost hugged Ruth.

"Okay, great! Well done, Sir Ruth!"

"I'm glad you're as happy as I am! This is all thanks to Sir Raymond."

[Yes, thanks to me.]

She wanted to give him a blow to his face, but Lelia held back.

Instead, she congratulated Ruth with a bright smile on her face.

To be honest, she wasn't aware how Julianna, who had come to her room and slapped her on the cheek, received Ruth's confession...

Lelia had no idea how it happened...

"Thank you, Sir Raymond."

"It's okay."

Lelia smiled and stared at him.

"..."

"..."

Lelia stared at him for a while, which made Ruth wonder why she had this expression on her face.

Then he said, "Ahhh!"

"Sir Raymond. In return for helping me, I would like to give you a present."

"...... !"

At last.

Lelia gulped down and waited for Ruth's next word.

"It's... It's very precious to me."

Ruth said as he pulled something out from his pocket.

Lelia's eyes shone.

It was the other half.

He fiddled with the one half of the clock and held it out to Lelia.

"This is the temple's sacred property that granted my wishes when I was young. It's something precious that I always carried around, but I want to give it to you, Sir Raymond."

"......."

Lelia slowly reached out her hand.

She tried to take it right away, but Ruth's hand held it with great strength. He seemed to not be willing to give it to Lelia. The fingertips of the two holding the holy relic trembled.

"...I was originally going to give it to Princess Julianna, but I thought it would be right to give it to you. You've been a great help to me, so I think you deserve it."

"Thank you."

At the end of the remark, Ruth relaxed his grip on the holy relic.

Only then could Lelia get the watch from Ruth.

At the same time, a square window appeared.

Lelia felt a tingling sensation in her fingertips, and put the holy relic in her inner pocket.
