A shadow of sadness falls on the face of my usually calm mother. I had no idea that there were wars involving the 『Saints』, so I was shocked.

“War……”

“If that happens, many people will die in the war.”

“I’m scared… I don’t want to be a saint.”

“Yeah, mom thinks Serina doesn’t have to be a saint.”

“…”

“Even if she isn’t a saint, Serina is still one of her mother’s precious daughters.”

“Mother…”

I learned later by reading a history book in my father’s study, but when I am recognized as a saint, I am protected in temples and countries, but in reality, I am detained.

Furthermore, in the worst case that the king of the country where the saint was found is a tyrant, the saint might be killed because they threatened the authority of the king, or they might be forced to be a lover. When I saw that, my desire to become a saint became smaller.

By the way, there are few humans who can handle many magic attributes, and the children those who have a high level of magic power are likely to inherit the magical power of their parents. Therefore, nobles who have high magical powers are flooded with marriage proposals.

That’s why, since my childhood there were many proposals like “Would you like to become a fiancee of a royal family in another country?” and “Would you like to become engaged to a person with high magical power and give birth to many children to contribute to the nation?”.

“It might be troublesome if you don’t decide on your fiancee early…”

“That’s right…. it might be better if this child decided on a fiancee earlier…”

My parents, who were worried that it could be troublesome, narrowed down the fiancee candidates to domestic aristocrats because they were anxious of what would happen if something happened in foreign affairs in another country, and as a result a person named Clarence, who is the son of the Marquis of Obsidia, was decided to be my fiancee and my parents promised marriage after graduation from school.

“If you are a nobleman in the country, at least war won’t tear your relatives apart.”

“Oh… and the Marquis of Obsidia is a very wealthy family. You’re financially safe.”

“There was also the talk of a nobleman who had the blood of a beast man, but there is a part that the human side must refrain from when marrying the beast man.” (獣人の血を引く貴族からの縁談話もあったけど、獣人との結婚だと人側が遠慮しないといけない部分があるから良かったわ)

“Mom… what is the part that people have to refrain from?”
