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 7

“Um, Lord Alvent. I-I am so sorry…!”

Ferulina, who had been brought to Alvent by the two female knights introduced by Robes, the red-haired Nanette and the light brown-haired Chelsea, who had helped her change, looked up at Alvent in a flustered manner as he prepared to depart in the courtyard near one of the castle’s exits.

As expected, it’s big. With Ferulina’s petite height, she would only reach around Alvent’s chest.

What Ferulina is wearing is a beautiful dress in a pale green color. Her dull golden hair has been brushed, styled, and tied up by Chelsea.

“The color of the dress should be green to match Lady Ferulina’s green eyes, right?”

“Lady Ferulina~. Let’s put on some makeup too~? Huh, why not? With such a lovely face, it would be a shame not to dress up more~.”

“As Chelsea said! From what I can see, Lady Ferulina hasn’t really dressed up much until now… It’s such a waste of her wonderful figure!”

“Uh, um!? Nanette-san!? Chelsea-san…!?”

Being relentlessly pursued by two female knights who are bigger and stronger than her, Ferulina had no chance of resisting…

To Robes, who introduced Nanette and Chelsea,

“Lady Ferulina. Since you are Prince Alvent’s consort, it is inappropriate for you to address me with honorifics. It sets a poor example for the other members of the group. If Nanette and Chelsea find anything disagreeable, please take a firm and resolute stance.”

I was warned, but it was impossible for Ferulina, who wasn’t strong-willed to begin with, to dismiss the two’s opinions.

Above all, since I can tell that both of them are genuinely offering their advice out of pure goodwill rather than trying to curry favor with Ferulina, who suddenly became the Second Prince’s wife, I can’t bring myself to refuse…

As a result,

“This is still quite simple for a dress!”

“That’s right~. Once we arrive at the Gobules Kingdom, please let me dress up even more~.”

Even though the two of them told me to, I ended up in a dress that seemed completely inappropriate for travel, and I was brought before Alvent.

To Ferulina, who immediately apologized, Alvent remained silent and said nothing.

I’m sure they are exasperated. If they tell me to change into more suitable travel clothes, I’ll brace myself to apologize once more and comply immediately.

“Captain! Don’t freeze up, pull yourself together!”

“That’s right~. This is the place to say ‘It’s beautiful’ or ‘It’s cute’ and praise Lady Ferulina~? We worked really hard for this~!”

Voices of dissatisfaction rise from Nanette and Chelsea, who are standing behind Ferulina.

“Could it be that you’re fainting with your eyes open!? Look, even Lady Ferulina is troubled by this!”

“Stop being so lovestruck and at least say something like ‘You look good in that!’ to her! Doesn’t Lady Ferulina look a bit anxious?”

“Huh…?”

In a flow that was somehow different from what Ferulina had in mind, she hesitantly raised her face.

The moment Alvent, with his black eyes wide open, looked down at Ferulina and their gazes met.

“!?!”

Suddenly, Alvent’s stern face turned bright red. Instantly, as if mirroring him, Ferulina’s cheeks also became hot.

To fill the awkward silence, voices from Nanette and the others behind us ring out.

“Captain! Right there! Don’t be shy, just give it your all!”

“If you stay silent, I won’t understand, you know? You have to express it properly!”

“Ugh! So noisy! You two, thanks for helping Ferulina get ready! Now hurry back to your positions! We’re leaving soon!”

In response to Nanette and Chelsea’s remarks, Alvent shouted defiantly. At the knight commander’s orders, the two reluctantly saluted and stepped back.

I thought it was just Robes, my milk brother, but I was surprised to find out that he also allows Nanette and Chelsea to speak to him so casually.

However, it’s much better than being tense.

“Ah… Were you okay? I’m sorry, among the people I brought this time, they were the only female knights… I didn’t expect there to be no maids…”

According to what Robes told me when I was introduced to Nanette and the others, it seems that Alvent intended to take a maid to accompany the saint with him to the Gobules Kingdom, so that Ferulina wouldn’t feel lonely or inconvenienced.

However, in reality, Ferulina didn’t have a single maid, and her personal belongings were surprisingly few.

“No, you both took such good care of me. You both were very considerate…”

When I smiled and replied to Alvent, who was being considerate, a relieved smile appeared on his ruggedly handsome face. Then, a large palm was extended.

“Um…?”

I was puzzled, wondering what on earth was going on.

“……Do you dislike my escort?”

“Eh…!? Ah, um, thank you…! I’m sorry, I didn’t notice…!”

Since I hadn’t been treated like a noble lady for a long time, I didn’t notice it at all. When I hurriedly placed my hand on top of his, Alvent matched his pace to escort Ferulina.

The ten or so members of the knight order, who were preparing in the courtyard, were murmuring as they looked at Alvent and Ferulina…

You might be feeling uneasy because the saint you finally obtained seems like an unreliable young girl.

Or, it could be that they are astonished by the stark contrast between the dignified and impressive Alvent and the unimposing Ferulina.

There are times when he walks on the unscarred right side, but Alvent, clad in black formal attire, is a man so impressive that one can’t help but be captivated by him.

I still can’t believe that I married Alvent.
