I Was Deemed a Worthless Saint Without a Level-Up Blessing and Was Sent Off to Marry a Neighboring Country, but It Turns Out My Blessing Was Actually Level Cap Removal - Episode 21

At night, even though she got into bed, Ferulina couldn’t fall asleep and quietly got up from the bed.

The night has already fallen, but tonight, with the full moon shining through the open curtains of the window, it is not too inconvenient for eyes accustomed to the darkness.

“From now on, this will be the room where you live.”

The room inside the royal castle, to which I was guided by Alvent, was an astonishingly magnificent room.

Furniture such as tables and dressers made from brightly colored, highly polished wood. Fabric products like curtains, cushions, and bed covers are coordinated in warm colors like pink and orange, creating a cozy atmosphere.

In the room where it was immediately clear that everything had been prepared with care, Ferulina felt both embarrassed and unable to suppress her joy.

The way the princesses welcomed Ferulina as a member of the family resonated in my heart more eloquently than words could convey.

By the way, it seems that the next room is Alvent’s room, and they are connected by an inner door.

However, that door not only has its original lock, but also has a large padlock attached on top of a chain, making it impossible to open immediately. By the way, the key to the padlock is,

“Understood, Lady Ferulina. For safety, please hide the key in a place within the room that only you know.”

And, it is being handed over to Robes, whose face is extremely serious.

Even without such strict vigilance, he appealed to Robes, saying that Alvent, who always cared for Ferulina and was kind and sincere, could never commit such an act.

“Your Highness’s unwavering trust in Lady Ferulina is something I am immensely pleased with as the vice-captain…! But Your Highness is a healthy… no, rather an overly energetic adult man brimming with vitality…! There is a great possibility that you might inadvertently stray from the path due to Lady Ferulina’s charm…! Please, for the sake of my peace of mind, manage the keys properly…!”

I was told that, and I couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

Since Ferulina and Alvent are already married, I don’t think it would become a big problem…

Indeed, trying something for the first time is a bit scary. While I feel sorry for Alvent, I decided to gratefully accept Robes’ kindness.

So, I tried to sleep alone in the bed.

The bedding on the bed was astonishingly fluffy, and for Ferulina, who only knew of hard beds despite being a noble, it was nothing short of a surprise.

However, the reason I can’t fall asleep isn’t because I’m confused by the unfamiliar bed.

Huffing unconsciously, Ferulina walked over to the window as if beckoned by the moonlight.

Beyond the large glass door that reaches up to the ceiling, there is a small stone terrace.

Taking a deep breath of the clear night air, Ferulina gently pushed open the glass door and stepped out onto the terrace. The faint sound of her footsteps echoed on the stone floor.

Ferulina’s room was on the third floor of the royal castle. From the high terrace, one could see the scenery far into the distance. During the day, it was too busy to go out to the terrace, but if one were to go out during daylight, the view would surely be delightful.

The rooftops of the houses in the castle town below have already sunk into darkness, but here and there, lights can be seen, perhaps from taverns that are open until late at night.

The black sea spreading around the castle town is surely farmland. Beyond that, a dark, deep forest that seems to reject even the moonlight stretches as far as the eye can see.

It is a landscape unique to the Gobules Kingdom, with its abundant forests, completely different from the view from the royal castle of the Klein Kingdom.

I am once again deeply reminded that I have married and come to a foreign land far away from my hometown.

Just like the scenery shrouded in darkness, as I pondered the uncertain future, I suddenly heard the sound of a glass door opening nearby. Startled, I turned to the direction of the sound and saw Alvent, similarly dressed in a nightgown with a coat draped over his shoulders, stepping out onto the terrace of his room.

Alvent’s night-colored eyes, which had captured Ferulina’s figure, widened in surprise.

“I heard a faint sound, so I thought maybe and came out, but you’re really here… What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“N-no…”

I was about to answer, “It’s nothing,” but instead, a sneeze came out. At that moment, Alvent gasped.

“Ah, Alvent-sama!?”

With a light run-up, Alvent placed his foot on the terrace railing and gracefully leaped onto the terrace of Ferulina’s room, causing Ferulina to nearly faint.

“Hey!? Are you okay!?”

My body, which was about to sway unsteadily, was caught in strong arms. But that’s not the point.

“What on earth are you doing that’s so dangerous!? This is the third floor, you know!?”

Ferulina glared up at Alvent with a fierce look, and Alvent visibly flinched.

“I’m, I’m sorry…! The moment I thought, ‘What if you catch a cold?’ I couldn’t help myself…!”

The flustered Alvent, after hesitantly speaking, took off his coat and gently draped it over Ferulina’s shoulders.

“That’s not good! If Lord Alvent catches a cold…”

I hurriedly tried to return it, but instead, a large hand grabbed the front of my jacket and pushed it aside.

“I’m used to the cold, so I won’t catch a cold from this. It’s more concerning that you might get sick.”

Alvent, who had spoken with a serious expression, suddenly broke into a mischievous smile.

“If you catch a cold, just imagine how severely Mother would scold you. If you care about me, I’d appreciate it if you wore it.”

“If that’s the case… Thank you for your consideration.”

When she bowed her head slightly, Alvent’s hand, which had been holding the jacket, let go. Ferulina instead clasped her hands in front of her. The large jacket of Alvent was clearly too big for Ferulina, and she had no intention of putting her arms through the sleeves.

It must be because Alvent had just been wearing it. The warm coat, still holding his body heat, makes me feel the tension in my heart and body gradually easing.

“Um… Did you not sleep well?”

When she raised her gaze at the worried voice, Alvent was looking down at Ferulina with a concerned light in his black eyes.
