Even Though I was the Real Saint, I was Exiled—Which Means my Country is Over (WN)

After that.
Having fully enjoyed Ralph's hairstyle, we decided to go back to where we had seen Nigel and the others.
"His Majesty the King. Do you have any idea what Ralph had?
I ask the king questions.
Then the king looked reluctantly, "Mu..."
"I don't know. At first I thought it was a mild cold. However, it gradually weakened, and there was no medicine or magic to heal it, and it was in a raised state. What the hell is going on...."
I couldn't hide my confusion.
As a saint, I have healed many people and animals.
Among them, the aura that Ralph saw today was something she had never seen before.
But there's only one thing I know about that cloudy aura.
Curse.
--Curse.
Strong resentment of others enables it.
Depending on the contents of the curse, various symptoms appeared, and one of them appeared to Ralph this time.
If this disease were involved in a curse, we would be in trouble.
After all, the curse cannot be cured by mere healing magic.
It is said that there are two ways to break the curse.
First of all, a rare professional named Kaijushi.
And the other is the Virgin blessed by the Goddess... that is, me.
There is a way to solve it, but both are small in number, so it can be quite troublesome to curse once.
"Your Majesty"
"What?
"This is still just my guess...."
I told the king everything I felt when I healed Ralph.
"Hmm... a curse?"
Naturally, the King also seems to know the troubles of the curse, distorting his face.
The curse is difficult to discern in the first place because of its wide range of symptoms.
I can only speculate yet.
"Of course, I'm not sure yet. I think it's better to think about it as a possibility."
"Okay, thank you. Even so, it's a curse... and we need to investigate it as soon as possible."
The king looks reluctant.
No matter how many pets they were, the king's pets were cursed.
It is not necessarily the work of those who are hostile to the King...
But even so, why did you target Ralph instead of cursing the King directly?
Was it still an unfinished curse to cast on people?
... no, it's more than speculation.
Wouldn't it be easy to leave the rest to the King?
"Now, let's end this dark talk here."
The King taps his hand several times to change the story.
"Elianne, stay here today. It takes a little time to get ready to live in the city."
"Is that okay?
"Of course. I might not be able to get you the biggest room... but I'll treat you as much as I can."
I was thinking of staying in a suitable inn in the city, but honestly, this would help.
The pennies brought from the kingdom are very small. We have to use it systematically.
Is Nigel okay too?
"If I were Elaine, I'd be delighted. I'd love to stay."
Nigel also seemed to agree with the King's proposal.
"Then let me sweeten your words."
I lowered my head deeply.
