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 24

Waking up to the refreshing autumn morning sun streaming in through the window, Ferulina felt a deep sense of fulfillment.

I’ve never slept on such a comfortable bed in my life.

At first, I was tense on the soft bed that was so different from my usual one, but once I fell asleep, I was able to sleep soundly without dreaming.

As soon as she lightly stretched and sat up, what caught Ferulina’s eye was the black jacket spread out on the hanging cloth.

The clearly oversized, well-tailored black coat on Ferulina’s body seems to still carry the remnants of the night.

The moment the black eyes, the same as those of the coat, flashed through her mind, Ferulina felt a heat rising in her cheeks.

If I hadn’t borrowed a jacket from Alvent, I might have mistaken last night’s exchange for a dream.

Not only did I just talk with Alvent alone on the terrace late at night, but also about Alvent’s secret…

Ferulina’s heart tightened as she imagined the blackish-purple scars running across his dignified face.

The tightly clenched fist when you told me about being cursed by a dragon.

What kind of feelings did Alvent have when he confided in Ferulina and knelt down to ask for her help?

Just imagining that feeling fills my heart with a flood of various emotions.

“If someone like me could be of help to Lord Alvent…”

Clutching the blanket tightly and spilling out a voice full of determination, the door was knocked on.

“Lady Ferulina, are you awake?”

Even though I was puzzled by the unfamiliar voice, I hurriedly got off the bed and headed towards the door.

Standing beyond the door was a red-haired maid who seemed to be of the same age as Ferulina, with a pleasant demeanor.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Ann. While you are in the royal castle, I will take care of Lady Ferulina!”

Anne, who had bowed respectfully, smiled.

“Let’s get changed right away! His Highness Alvent is waiting for Lady Ferulina to have breakfast together.”

Although I was surprised, if they said Alvent was waiting, I couldn’t keep them waiting.

Ferulina was taken by Ann, who helped her quickly get ready, to the private room next door belonging to Alvent.

“Did you sleep well? The weather is nice today. I was thinking we could have breakfast together on the terrace…”

In Alvent’s black eyes, a light that seemed to be observing Ferulina’s condition was floating.

“Thank you very much…”

I was delighted by Alvent’s thoughtfulness, and when I smiled and thanked him, Alvent relaxed his stern expression as if relieved.

“Well then, this way please.”

Gently led by the hand, I make my way through the room to the terrace.

Alvent’s room had a calm color scheme that reflected his sincere personality.

The beautifully grained furniture with deep hues, despite being my first time entering, gives a sense of comfort.

“It’s a lovely room, just like Lord Alvent.”

When I inadvertently voiced my feelings, Alvent blinked as if to say he was surprised by what I had said. Then, his dark eyes formed a gentle arc.

“Is that so? It’s a room I haven’t spent much time in because I’ve been out on expeditions and training… but I’m glad to hear you say that.”

Surely, it must have been well taken care of even during Alvent’s absence.

I can tell at a glance that Alvent is cherished by my parents and brothers, and it makes me feel somehow happy even in Ferulina.

“Here we go.”

Alvent pushes open the glass door leading to the terrace.

“Wow…!”

As the refreshing autumn breeze blew in, Ferulina couldn’t help but exclaim at the scene that unfolded before her.

Last night, I went out to the terrace and looked outside, but the night view, which had been shrouded in darkness, was completely different in character.

In the castle town illuminated by bright sunlight, thin wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys of the houses, and one can see carriages, carts, and people bustling along the streets, making it clear at a glance that the place is lively.

The golden wheat fields spreading around the town are just waiting to be harvested.

A deep forest that seems to stretch to the distant horizon, and beyond that, the towering, majestic mountains…

This rich country, which is the Gobules Kingdom where Ferulina will be living from now on, is gazed upon with deep appreciation at its beautiful scenery.

Even in the Kingdom of Klein, I have entered the forest many times during expeditions, but the forest of the Kingdom of Gobules is even denser and feels more imposing.

It might be because it’s close to the demon realm after all.

And somewhere in the magical realm, there is a dragon that cursed Alvent…
