I Supported My Fiancé for 10 Years After He Said, 'Let's Get Married When I Succeed,' but When He Finally Did, He Dumped Me. By the Way, I'm a Witch and Turning 30 Next Year!! - Episode 41

I suddenly noticed that several newspapers were spread out on the table.

When I looked closely, I saw that every single one of them had articles about Rymer’s arrest.

Had the sisters and Holy Ministry officials confronted Saint Sui with these newspapers as proof of Rymer’s crimes, telling her to give up on him?

Even Saint Sui, no matter how kind, must have lost all hope in him. Even if he hadn’t known he was committing a crime, he had still been stripped of his title as a Holy Knight.

I decided to pretend I hadn’t seen the newspapers and lifted my head—only to lock eyes with Saint Sui.

“Have you read the articles about Lord Rymer?”

“No.”

“You don’t seem very surprised. Did you already know he was arrested?”

“Well… yes, I did.”

In fact, I was the one who tripped him to stop him from running away. I also reported his identity to the knights who came as reinforcements.

Later, they offered me a reward and a certificate of recognition for my cooperation, but I politely refused.

If I had accepted, there would probably have been headlines like:

“Herbal Witch’s Great Achievement! Helps Capture Criminal!”

Saint Sui lowered her head and started trembling.

Poor thing. Not only had she been separated from Rymer, but she also had to face the fact that he was a criminal.

Carbuncle had mentioned that she was only fifteen years old.

For someone her age, this must have been a shocking revelation.

“Um, maybe it’s best not to—”

The moment I spoke, Saint Sui suddenly lifted her head.

Her eyes weren’t sparkling—they were burning with excitement.

“Don’t you think Lord Rymer is so pitiful and tragic!?”

“…Huh?”

She asked with a face that wasn’t just happy—it was excited.

I had no idea how to respond.

“I always thought Lord Rymer looked his best when he was suffering! Don’t you agree, Witch?”

Even if she wanted my agreement, I couldn’t relate to her at all.

What was going on? She was acting strangely.

“Of course, Lord Rymer was always very handsome, but I felt like something was missing. But now, thanks to this incident, I finally understand what it was!”

Saint Sui gazed at the newspaper illustration of Rymer’s arrest, drawn by a publishing artist, her expression filled with admiration.

“The things that make Lord Rymer truly shine are misery, misfortune, and bad luck!”

She had just announced her twisted idea of love with great enthusiasm.

I was completely speechless.

Trying to make sense of her words, I attempted to understand, even just a little.

“So… you haven’t given up on Rymer?”

“Why would I? I still love him just the same!”

She said this with a dazzling smile.

I couldn’t help but mutter, “Wow, that’s blinding.”

I had thought that Rymer’s luck had run out.

But apparently, the heavens hadn’t abandoned him after all.

As long as he had Saint Sui’s love, he probably didn’t need anything else.

Even if they were never reunited, even if they never saw each other again, knowing that someone loved him would surely give him strength.

As I stood there, too stunned to speak, Carbuncle whispered, “Hey, it’s time to get to the main point.”

Oh, right.

I wasn’t here to listen to her gush about Rymer.

“I came here because I have something to ask you.”

“Oh, that’s right! I got so caught up talking that I completely forgot.”

Straightening my posture, I looked directly at Saint Sui and asked:

“You’re not really ‘Saint Sui,’ are you?”

At my question, she tilted her head cutely.

“Carbuncle told me everything. When he tried to summon the real Saint’s soul, he accidentally brought your soul into this body instead.

The truth is, you’re actually a fifteen-year-old girl from another world called ‘Chikyuu,’ aren’t you?”

“Oh, so you already figured it out!”

Saint Sui, who had been acting so graceful, suddenly slumped her shoulders.

With a careless sigh, she muttered:

“Sigh… I was having so much fun in this new world, but now the final boss has found me.”

“Final… boss?”

“Yes! You’re the Dark Witch, the villain of this game who commits mass slaughter!”

She just casually dropped that shocking piece of information.

But there was something I couldn’t ignore.

“Me? A Dark Witch? That’s ridiculous!”

“It’s not ridiculous at all! I’ve fought you so many times in Saint Jewel!”

My mind went completely blank.

What… did she just say?

I couldn’t understand a thing.
