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 52

The knight order led by Alvent returned from their patrol and extermination mission two days after the Poison Treant battle.

Originally, the schedule had us returning a bit later, but due to unusual occurrences in the forest, including the appearance of Poison Treant, we decided it would be better to return and organize the information rather than continue the extermination.

If the forest disturbance is solely due to the movement of the Poison Treant, then the cause has already been eliminated.

However, if that is not the case, the Second Knight Brigade, which is the main force in the battle against monsters, will not be able to respond to sudden changes in the situation while they are out on patrol.

Above all, even if we wanted to process the Poison Treant’s toxic fruit we painstakingly obtained for the dragon battle, it’s impossible in this forest where we have no proper facilities or equipment.

Since the knights had sent word in advance, the reception at the royal castle went smoothly despite the unexpected return.

After this, once they have washed off the dirt in the bath, Alvent, Robes, and Ferulina will go to report the forest disturbances to the king and queen.

The first thing the knights who entered the order’s quarters crowded around was the status board.

“How about it!? Have you leveled up!?”

“You haven’t even reached the level cap yet! Let me go first!”

“But, on this expedition, we even defeated the Poison Treant! Maybe we could even level up twice…!?

“More importantly, we need to see if the level cap has been lifted! Come on, start appraising those who have reached the level cap!”

“Whoa, I’m so nervous! Please let me have broken through the level cap…!”

One of the members is praying, but Ferulina feels exactly the same way.

Since a little while ago, my heart won’t stop racing at the sight of the members crowding around the status board, making a commotion.

Whether Ferulina truly possesses the special blessing of “Level Up Limit Break” will be revealed through the guild members’ appraisal. There’s no way I wouldn’t be nervous.

As I watched the members while feeling a stomachache from anxiety and tension, fearing that I might betray Alvent and the others’ expectations, cheers of “Wow!” erupted from the knights surrounding the status board.

“Yes! I’ve broken through the level cap…! It’s been half a year since my last level up――!”

“Hey! If you’ve appraised it, hurry up and switch with me! Let me do it next!”

“Hey, don’t push me…!”

Even amidst the commotion, cheers erupted one after another from the members who took turns with the appraisal.

Since everyone is shouting, I can’t hear exactly what they’re saying, but it seems like everyone is leveling up properly.

A deep sigh of relief escaped my lips. At that moment, Alvent, who was discussing future plans with Robes right next to me, turned around.

“As expected, you were a saint with a special blessing.”

With a smile that seems to envelop me, my heart feels warm with joy deep inside.

“I’m really glad…! With this, I can be of more help to Lord Alvent and the others…!”

With a voice that seemed about to choke with emotion, I told him, and Alvent’s eyes widened slightly before he gave a small, wry smile.

“What are you saying? Even now, you have already become an indispensable person in the knight order. And if you have a special blessing on top of that… the admiration from the knights will know no bounds.”

“N-no, that’s not…!”

Flustered and shaking his head, one of the guards entered the guardhouse.

The guard who looked around the guardhouse sighed in relief upon seeing Ferulina and Alvent.

“Are you still here? That’s good to hear. Um, an envoy from the Kingdom of Klein has come to request an audience with Lady Ferulina… What shall we do?”

“A messenger from the Kingdom of Klein?”

Before Ferulina could respond, it was Alvent who furrowed his brows and spoke in a doubtful voice.

The guard nods with a tense expression.

“Indeed. They just arrived, but upon hearing that Lady Ferulina has just returned from her expedition, they insisted on meeting her immediately…”

Naturally, Ferulina and Alvent face each other.

“Do you have any idea if an envoy from the Kingdom of Klein is coming?”

In response to Alvent’s question, Ferulina shook her head vigorously.

“No, not at all…”

Since Ferulina came to the Gobules Kingdom, only about ten days have passed. Even including the travel period, it’s only been about a month.

I can’t believe I have such an important matter that requires sending a messenger all the way here.

In the first place, even when I left the Kingdom of Klein, it was so sudden that there was no handover or anyone to see me off.

If there is an important matter that needs to be confirmed with Ferulina, I would have asked her at that time.

“However, something urgent might have come up that needs to be confirmed. For now, I will go and listen to what they have to say.”

“Wait. I’ll go with you too.”

When I tried to follow the guard, Alvent lined up next to me.

“Even though you just returned from the expedition, you want to talk. If something really important is happening, I should hear it too. …Just so you know, even if you try to hold back, I’ll be following you.”

It was probably to avoid making Ferulina feel uncomfortable. A smile naturally appeared on Alvent’s face as he spoke decisively.

“Thank you very much. It gives me great confidence to have you with us, Alvent.”

“Robes, it’s up to you now.”

Alvent called out to Lobes and then followed the guards together.

When I left the guardhouse, I saw two knights dismounting and standing just inside the castle gate.
It seems they just arrived.

“Is that a familiar face?”

In response to Alvent’s question, I stare intently at the two knights.

“I have accompanied one of them on several expeditions, but the other one… I believe they are a knight serving in the royal castle. I have seen them several times in the company of His Highness Prince Cleves, so I think they are one of His Highness’s royal guards, but I apologize, I do not know their name.”

“Prince Cleves’?”

As soon as he answered, Alvent’s brows furrowed.

They must have noticed Ferulina and the others approaching. The knights of the Klein Kingdom also turned to look at us.

At the sight of Prince Alvent, the second prince, the knights were about to kneel. However, Alvent lightly raised his hand, stopping the knights, and stood next to Ferulina to face them.
