Nina didn’t kill him, nor did she send sent him flying in one hit.

She beat the man many times, making his body wretchedly unrecognizable. Bones and joints were broken in several places, so it will be difficult for him to get around even if he’s healed.

“Whew, to have mercy on these types of people, Miss Fiona is too generous.” 

Said Nina while wiping her blood-soaked knuckles, Fiona on the other hand, had a strange face.

‘Is this generous?’

While Fiona was rethinking the meaning of ‘mercy’, Nina dragged the fallen men and tossed them aside.

“There you go, when you wake up, you can stand in line to get your medicine.”

After talking to the collapsed men, who were foaming from their mouths, Nina returned to the tent.

“Stand in line again.”

At her cheerful words, people lined up with much brighter faces than before. Some even seriously advised Nina and Fiona.

“This time everything was settled in a good way, but they will come back with a gang. You better be careful.” 

“Oh, don’t worry.”

Nina waved her hand.

“I’ll win.”

“I know Miss Nana is strong, but…”

Some murmured, and some nodded. Even so, people who are willing to help started to come out

Helping with the line, boiling bandages, grinding herbs, and mixing medicines. Tents for the patients who could not move were also starting to be pitched on their own.

The group increased day by day. 

Fiona, who had to see people every day as the only doctor, was tired. Her apron was always stained by the wounds she treated. 

But her expression was bright.

“I don’t have trivial thoughts anymore.”

After a brief break, Fiona laughed as she drank tea that Nina had brewed.

“It’s also good to be helpful to everyone. I never thought of putting my power to good use.” 

She looked at the teacup and then at Nina.

“It’s all thanks to Miss Nana.”

“What did I do? Miss Fiona did it all.”

“No. This is from my heart, really.”

Fiona put her glass down and jumped up from her seat.

“Then shall we do our best again?”

“Yes, yes.”

Nina chuckled.

At the same time, rumors that Jack was secretly unraveling permeated the crowd.

“I heard she’s from a temple orphanage” 

“I heard that she came out because there was a conflict in the temple, and even went to the Duke of Luverne along the way.”

“Wait, the Duke of Luverne? Why?”

“Yes, the Duke of Luverne is now the richest man in the Empire. They are saying that she went to the Duke and asked his help to heal the wounded.”

“Oh my god-.”

“So they are saying that his Grace has provided all materials for tents and supplies. How much money can Miss Fiona have? This is all pocket money from the Duke.”

“It’s amazing. I thought that high-ranking people didn’t even think about us. Everyone is in the same situation but…”

“Even the temple Saint only looks after the nobles. Tsk, Tsk.”

“That’s right. It is said that every time she goes to a noble family, she comes out carrying a mountain of gifts.”

“Ugh.”

“Wait, you mean the Duke of Luverne is helping Miss Fiona?”

“That’s right!”

“Then, Miss Fiona’s escort, ‘Miss Nana’.”

Everyone made strange faces at what one person said. Thoughts came to mind at the same time, but no one spoke out. A man waved his hand.

“Let it be, let it be. Miss Nana is Miss Nana.”

“That’s right!”

“Let’s keep it a secret between us.” said people, keeping their mouths shut.

It was because the Silver Hawk, the Spirit Queen, and the swordsman Nina was a faraway existence, but ‘Nana-san’ was their favorite and friendly fellow.

Nana, who is unstoppable and stress-free, is a being that everyone admires. So, somehow, because of the anxiety that Nana would disappear when the truth became known, they turned the topic off.

How many fairy tales tell the lore of a dragon, whose identity was discovered, that stayed in the same place? Most of the dragons and fairies who have repaid the favor end the story going far away.

So, people avoided the story of ‘Nana-san’ and turned the topic back to the story of ‘Miss Fiona’.

“But, you know…”

A man looked around and opened his mouth in a low voice.

“Is it true that Miss Fiona heals wounds contaminated by Bellac?”

“Suush! Don’t say it, don’t say it.”

“But, if that’s true. Then, Miss Fiona is…”

He winked upwards. Others were also secretly sympathetic.

Someone sent by God.

Fiona asked them to keep it a secret, so no one can say it openly, but rumors have already spread.

Thanks to ‘Miss Nana’ reputation, thugs and cunning people no longer came. There were often some curious pranksters, but Nina dealt with them lightly and made them stand in line to receive treatment in the clinic.

Such daily confrontations have now become a game to watch and laugh at.

Miss Fiona, who was always beautiful, was someone they admired in a different way. There were also many whispers that said she looked like the advent of the Great Spirits.

The great spirits were usually depicted as beings with a beautiful appearance with six or three pairs of wings.

At night, it was common for Nina to take Fiona that was sleeping in a tent and go home. Everyone also said it was dangerous and they sent Fiona back.

Then Fiona would come back at dawn again and open the tent, in the mists of that tight routine, Nina was blown away.

“I’m hungry.”

A late-night snack was prepared for Nina, who had returned in the middle of the night. Unlike Fiona, who is tired and goes to bed immediately after washing, Nina has to replenish her energy.

It was not good to show herself devouring a huge amount of food in a town where there were many poor people, so it was hard to fill her meals with just simple bread.

“I think you are skinny.”

Adrian looked at Nina and said with worry.

Kirill would say to not talk nonsense, but, in his eyes, Nina looked quite pale.

Even Nina could not help laughing at his words, she laughed at Adrian’s funny line while eating grilled chicken from the chef for a late-night snack. 

“I’m not skinny. Rather, it seems that my body becomes dull from eating at night, but if I’m hungry, I can’t sleep.”

Tossing the clean, grated chicken bones into a silver bowl, Nina wiped her fingers.

“How is the street?”

Adrian asked. He was receiving reports, but he still wanted to hear Nina speak.

Nina leaned her chair back, balancing only with the two hind legs of the chair, it was quite a dangerous scene, but neither of them cared.

On a chair standing on two legs, Nina folded both legs together. 

“The atmosphere seems to be calming down, but I think the complaints are definitely building up. Anxiety about the barrier of the capital and dissatisfaction about the Saint are the main points.”

Nina smiled and looked at Adrian.

“And I thought something.”

“What?”

“If Adrian wasn’t a Duke.”

Adrian waited for Nina’s next words.

“What would we be doing? We must have been together, but I also wondered if we would have been freer than we are now. But.”

Nina looked at Adrian as if to peek into the depths of his eye.

“Wherever you were or what you were doing, I thought I would be happy.”

Adrian was speechless for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth.

“Would it have been better if I wasn’t a Duke?”

“Um, it’s not that. Is still a good thing. It’s not about which one is better.”

Nina said while pulling her bola-tie.

“I love the uniforms, I love the townhouse. I love the Silver Lake, and I love the beautiful manors.”

As she spoke, she frowned.

“You know that’s not the point, I mean.”

Wherever I am with you, whatever I do, I am happy. If we’re together

Adrian smiled slightly at her remark.

“I know.”

I know, but I wanted to say it to you.

Nina responded to Adrian’s words, “Anyway.” and rubbed her mouth. She clenched her chin.

“Well, are the rumors spreading well? If we go on like this, I think we will be able to carry out the second stage in no time.”

Adrian nodded his head.

“Yes. Rumors are also spreading among the nobles.”

“Then it will be very soon.”

Mumbling, Nina raised her head.

“Then, Adrian, shouldn’t there be a line in the temple?”

The hierarchical structure of the temple was simple. 

Priests, Bishop, High Priest.

(Note: this was really a pain. They actually use different words from the Catholic hierarchy and the right Tl should be [Priest- High Priest- Chief High Priest] But we use High Priest as a really high up place on most Ropan and in all 172 chapters we used it to descript the Villain, because there was no line that explained the Temple’s structure until now. So I’ll change the middle tier to Bishop (also a middle tier tittle) for easier understanding.)

There were a total of seven Bishops, who were scattered here and there and were in charge of the congregation.

“I think it would be good to secure at least one Bishop.”

“I’m still looking into it. If there is a good substitute, that would be the best.”

You can’t destroy the temple anyway, nor do they want to have to take care of it.

“Getting involved with believers is something else entirely.”

Mumbling, Nina got up from her seat and walked closer to Adrian.

“Nina?”
