"I mean, are you saying that" acknowledging the Spirit of Darkness "announced by the Church was about Mr. Marcel?

"Yes… yes"

"Then the child is the spirit of darkness."

I invited Mr. Abbott into our carriage because I couldn't let him touch the crowd any more.

Cro slapped my bag with a pessi pessi and came on my lap complaining about something.

Hmm.

I think you're hungry.

"Cro, I'm sorry. I don't have any sweets now."

When I told Crowe that, it seemed that Crowe was no longer interested in the bag, and now he sat next to Abbott as he headed toward Abbott, staring.

"This is the only thing I have... Do you want some?"

When Mr. Abbott laughed as troubled, he took the bag out of the bag and offered one cookie inside to Crowe. Clo approached Mr. Abbott like he had sparkled his eyes, and when he could pound cookies with his mouth, he jumped down with a piong and began to eat a mogmog at my feet.

"Sounds like you're urging something... I'm sorry."

"No, I thought I'd be hungry while I went to the bookstore. I didn't know spirits ate sweets, but you look so cute eating them."

Yes, I honestly told Mr. Abbott about the Spirit of Darkness, who earlier spotted Clo as the Spirit in the carriage.

For it has already been announced by the Church that it officially recognizes the Spirit of Darkness.

Still, what hasn't made public about my covenant with the Spirit of Darkness is significant in Marcel territory in the meantime.

Though there have been announcements from the Church, as for the Spirit of Darkness, the concern that some have fear of the unknown has not been dispelled.

For this reason, the clerics of the Great Church are spreading to the public that the Spirit of Darkness is not a subject of fear, but of veneration.

Since a second grade spirit summons ritual is scheduled for autumn, my contract will also be announced accordingly.

"What do you think of Mr. Abbott? About the Spirit of Darkness"

"I can't imagine what power the Spirit of Darkness has."

"That's right. This child is a lowly spirit, so he doesn't have any special powers."

"It's just... I don't think it's easy to have a good image because I don't know anything when I just hear about darkness. But if you look at this girl, you'll see she's worried."

Mr. Abbott stared at Cro with a gentle face.

But this is what Mr. Abbott thinks when he can think of things in a neutral position, so how does the vast majority of people who can't see the Spirit feel?

"Still, there are only a few people who can actually see Cro, right? There's nothing more terrifying than you can imagine."

"Well, it's just that neither the royal family nor the church are behind you, so no one will harm you. … but it is important to note that rumors of people"

"Rumors…"

"Even without direct damage, it's hard to stop rumors, and it's hard to punish rumors"

Rumors do spread quickly.

It would also be a difficult story to correct if something completely out of the ordinary were to spread to the public.

"Still, maybe it's okay because the person who signed the contract is Mr. Marcel"

"What do you mean?

"You do have a hard atmosphere of nearness. But at the same time, you are also the fiancée of His Royal Highness Prince Wang and an object of attention and admiration. So you made a pact with the Spirit of Darkness. That's all we may think this country has gained unprecedented further protection."

"You mean impression manipulation?

"Yes, it would be a good idea not to hide it, but to make it favourable by actively making it known."

Instead of hiding it... let them know.

Certainly I did something about the Spirit of Darkness, I would never say.

His Royal Highness handed me all the discussions with the Church.

It is not enough for me to examine the characteristics.

But I actually made a contract to the public. It might be effective for me to work.

"Thank you, Mr. Abbott"

"But saying it publicly could also be dangerous. You should talk to your fiancée a lot."

"Yeah, right."

Mr. Abbott glanced at his shoulder and laughed worryingly, lowering his brow, "Of course I'll help you, too," he said.

There are people nearby who think like this.

I felt that would give me the courage.

A few days later, during his visit to our house, His Highness informed him that he was close to Mr. Abbott. Then he rejoiced, as he did about himself, "It's good to find someone that Rachel feels comfortable with".

And in the course of that conversation, I kept the conversation I had with Abbott the other day intact.

Then take a serious look and listen carefully to me.

"It does make sense"

His Royal Highness frowned when he grumbled so much at my explanation, making a difficult face and thinking about it.

"I want to start by working with people who see the Spirit. Because if you can actually look at the clo, I know it's not dangerous."

"Oh, I guess so.

In fact, the man who sees it will also pass on to those who cannot see the Spirit. So I guess it's a good thing that good images are passed on to people. "

"So..."

As I rode out slightly, His Highness squeezed one hand placed on my table with His Highness's big hand.

And I can stare with serious eyes with strength.

But I don't want to lose you anymore.

"Your Highness..."

"That time, when I heard you were kidnapped by Aloise. Honestly, I've never had a cold liver that far.

That's why I want to protect you, but I admit I've been too careful. "

His Highness was shaking my hand. Now gently re-shake it with both hands.

"Thank you, Your Highness. You've always protected me."

"Oh, I'll protect you from this, of course."

But before we could move, rumors spread throughout the school as if we had anticipated.

The rumor is that I made a covenant with the Spirit of Darkness. And it was that the Spirit of Darkness was not evil.
