CHAPTER 275 – THE CRADLE OF KILLING INTENT
The people frequenting the church in the town of Ainon increased a lot .
And the reason for that is easy to tell . People gathered surrounding Caroline who is continuously praying in front of the statue of the Solon Church .
The Maiden of Oracle and the commoners that worships her .
That composition was clearly made .
I hid myself using my camouflage aura and stood in front of Caroline to tell her about Sybil .
I was about to speak to her just like how I did before, but .
『What’s the matter?
Eleanor was doubtful when I stood there without saying a word .
I looked at Caroline . I stared at her face intently .
Caroline has her eyes closed as she prayed, but I saw the color of exhaustion in her face .
There were bags under her eyes as if she has not slept for many days .
Eleanor who felt what I was seeing noticed it a moment later .
『It looks like she doesn’t have enough sleep』
【It seems so……Caroline】
「Oh God!」
Caroline opened her eyes and displayed happiness .
Her surroundings were stirred at the same time .
They raised a voice of awe because the oracle arrived .
I was planning on telling her about Sybil, but rather than that, her condition bothered me .
【You, you haven’t slept for a while?】
「Yes」
【Why?】
「I didn’t want to miss hearing God’s voice」
Caroline showed a smile .
She had a face that looked clearly exhausted, yet she showed a clear and bright smile .
「It’s because I wanted to hear God」
『It means that she was waiting for you』
【Caroline……】
「Yes!」
【Sleep right away】
「Sleep……?」
【Yeah, sleep right away……this is an order】
「Understood . I’ll sleep」
Caroline nodded .
Two middle-aged women immediately rushed to her from the crowd .
The two women showed a mixed expression of worry and relief as they rushed to Caroline .
「Now now, God has spoken」
「Let’s go to sleep okay, Caroline-sama」
『Hmm . It seems that these two truly worries about her . In opposite to that……kuku』
Eleanor laughed .
Other than the two women who were bringing Caroline to her room, the people of Ainon that gathered here showed disappointed .
I got a bit pissed off .
I was pissed off by these people who are only thinking of themselves, not even worrying about Caroline who looked clearly exhausted .
I ignored them and headed together to Caroline’s room .
Caroline’s bedroom inside the church .
Caroline was brought there and laid to her bed .
「Please take a good rest」
「Please call us immediately if anything happens」
The two women said and left the room .
Caroline was left alone lying on her bedーーbut she opened her eyes .
She flickered her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling then closed her eyes again . But she would immediately open them again and stare at the ceiling .
【What’s the matter?】
I couldn’t help but ask her .
「I can’t sleep」
【Can’t sleep?】
「Un……I can’t help thinking about God……」
【……wait for a moment】
I said, took out my Warp Feather, and warped to my mansion .
The slave soldiers are training in the annex’s training grounds . I removed my camouflage aura and approached .
「Nikki」
「Your Excellency! Is something the matter?」
「Is there anyone who can use sleep magic?」n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
「Akasha from 8th platoon can」
「Call her」
「As your command!」
Nikki saluted with her heels placed together then ran to call her .
I ordered the slave soldier she brought to use sleep magic on me .
Of course, it didn’t work, but this is enough .
I said thanks to Nikki and Akasha then warped once again to Caroline’s room .
「God?」
Caroline woke up and looked at me .
I didn’t envelope myself with my camouflage aura so she can see me .
「Just stay put . I’ll use sleep magic on you now . You should sleep for a while」
「Yes, I understood……uhm」
「Un?」
「When I wake, will you be there?」
「……yeah」
I nodded and Caroline smiled happily .
I used the sleep magic that I just learned on her .
The effects were clear . Caroline who was exhausted and cannot sleep immediately fell asleep .
『Kukuku, look at this girl, she’s completely a maiden in love』
「She doesn’t think so though」
『She is only not aware of being in love』
「I guess so」
She’s too easy to tell after all .
That’s good too, but if this continues, she might break her body .
I need to do something about it .
I remained by her side .
I remained while thinking about what to do . I remained so that I can be there when she woke up as I promised .
Suddenly, it became noisy outside .
The noise passed through the walls and the sleeping Caroline furrowed her eyebrows uncomfortably .
「……」
I silently left the room and headed to where the noise was coming .
As I returned to where Caroline was praying earlier, I encountered the scene of a commotion .
The people who gathered to see the oracle started a commotion because Caroline left .
I picked up voices of different people individually within the commotion, but stopped after hearing three of them .
All of them, they’re saying things there wasn’t an oracle today as well or this isn’t the time for resting .
They were all just complaining .
『Kukuku, the masses are as selfish as usual』
Eleanor playfully said . There were thorns in her words .
I was unpleased just like her .
「Shut up」
That’s what all I said .
I did not shout nor raise my voice .
However, that voice echoed inside the church, and .
「「「……」」」
The people who were making noises turned silent .
『Kukuku, what an impressive killing intent』
Eleanor became more and more enjoying .
Killing intent, no, I should call it just a mere a threat .
I only pointed the killing intent “I’ll kill you if you make some more noise” at them along with my words .
It was super effective . The people who were making a commotion turned pale without exception . Some were even trembling .
I thoroughly pressured them, enough to disable them to speak out any word and become unable even to run away .
After that, I left them and returned to Caroline’s room .
I did not remove my killing intent, I did not stop threatening them .
At a diameter of a hundred meters with Caroline in the center, I continued to release my pressure .
Caroline slept peacefully on her bed .
Until the sun set and the next day come .
I made her rest within the cradle of my killing intent .
