At the entrance to the basement where the altar was located, the knights guarding the place stood tall.
After seeing my face, they allowed me to approach the altar.
I asked Ethan and the other maids if we could go in together and they said they would wait at the entrance.
I approached the altar cautiously.
‘This is the altar.’
Even when I was in Raniero, I never saw an altar.
Because my father didn’t allow me to go near the holy relics.
I approached the altar made of white marble.
The altar looked befitting the Wolf family.
There was a huge wolf-shaped altar in the center, and marble statues of young wolves were located on both sides.
And inside the huge wolf’s mouth, there was a space to put the holy relics.
I opened the box carefully.
As soon as I opened the box, a brilliant blue light poured out.
‘This is the holy relics…’
A light so brilliant that it could not be compared to ordinary jewels instantly filled the basement.
I picked up the large blue sapphire with trembling hands.
Then I carefully and slowly put my hand on the altar.
When the huge sapphire was placed in the wolf’s mouth, the light that seemed to devour everything in the world faded slightly and softly illuminated the altar.
I looked at it for a moment, then looked back and asked.
“Is it done now?”
The knight standing in front of the entrance nodded.
“Yes, it is done now. Lady.”
I nodded, grabbed the hem of my dress, and slowly came down from the altar.
The blue sapphire that resembled Arsene and Kendrick’s eyes was emitting light comfortably as if it had finally found its place.
After looking at the holy relics on the altar for a moment, I turned around and left the basement.
“First, please get some rest. Thank you for your hard work, Lady.”
“But Ethan, Arsene!”
“First of all, Yeckhart’s knights went near the sanctuary, so it should be fine. He’ll be back soon. So, Lady, please rest first.”
The maids guided me to my room.
After changing into comfortable clothes, I tied my hair neatly and sat blankly on the bed.
“Arsene will be okay, right?”
Even though I thought he would be safe, I kept getting anxious when I thought of Arsene.
It was the same with Kendrick.
I know I have no reason to be worried since they are stronger than me, but one side of my chest hurts every time I think about them.
After tapping my chest, I leaned over the head of my bed.
Because I was tired from flying for a long time.
Arsene and Kendrick hadn’t returned yet, so I didn’t want to sleep, but I couldn’t help feeling drowsy.
‘I can’t sleep…’
Flight consumes enormous energy.
But I flew from the border of Sanctuary to Yeckhart.
Besides…
‘I also met the bird clan member along the way.’
I thought of the bird clan that was chasing me so fearfully.
The other beastmen who had lost their minds that I saw in the sanctuary didn’t chase just one person.
So, their goal seemed to be ‘attacking as many beastmen as possible’, rather than ‘pursuing and attacking only one beastman’.
However, the huge bird that attacked me chased me fiercely, as if I had been its target from the beginning.
‘If I hadn’t been able to escape then, I would have definitely been caught…’
I felt sleepy and thought.
Would he have eaten me if I had been caught? Or… Was he trying to take me somewhere else?
When I blinked, my vision quickly becomes blurry.
I just fell asleep.

“Young Master! Be careful!”
The knight shouted in a loud voice.
Arsene drew his sword and turned his head. A huge pig beast with jagged fangs was rushing towards Arsene as if trying to stab him with its fangs.
At that time, the shadow wolf that had been helping the knights chase away the other beastmen from afar rushed in and caught the pig beastman with its body.
Buk—!
“Kyeeek—!”
And Arsene took advantage of the pig beastman’s fall and stabbed its leg with his sword.
Pig beastmen had weak legs.
As they are very heavy, they can’t easily move if their legs are hurt, so by focusing only on their legs, he can beat them without killing them.
Arsene wiped away the sweat that had formed.
Because he fought together with the shadow wolf, there were no injuries, but it was still hard.
‘Did Linsy go well?’
Arsene looked up at the sky.
In the sky, huge birds of the bird clan were circling as if searching for something.
There was nothing like that until Linsy flew away earlier.
He was worried that Linsy might have been attacked by those bird clans while flying.
‘She can’t even use this ability on herself.’
For a moment, Arsene thought that the blessing given to the new clan was really foolish.
The ability to heal everyone except yourself.
But what good is it if you can’t heal yourself?
Moreover, if it is such a selfless blessing, those who will use it should also have been selfless.
It wasn’t hard for Arsene to think bad thoughts.
The bird clan didn’t seem to have any intention of using their abilities for others unless it brought some benefit to them.
In other words, it was useless if they didn’t want to do good.
But Linsy was different.
Arsene breathed heavily and remembered the red bird that flew away a moment ago.
A small bird, the size of a fist.
Now my friend, who has grown to the point where she stands tall, my… wife.
Linsy always wanted to use her powers to help anyone who needed her.
The necklace hanging around Arsene’s neck was the proof.
‘Arsene, don’t get hurt.’
When Arsene remembered Linsy smiling, he swept up his sweaty hair.
He wondered if the battle would ever end, but the end was now somewhat in sight. The road to wolf territory was opening.
Now, just a little while, he can meet Linsy.
Arsene sent the shadow wolf to the other knights.
Because there were still knights at the forefront fighting the remaining beastmen.
The shadow wolf seems to disagree, but since he couldn’t refuse his master’s orders, he followed Arsene’s wishes and walked towards the knights.
It was then.
Puuk!
A sharp fang brushed past Arsene’s side.
“Ugh!”
Arsene looked up, wrapping his hands around his side.
He couldn’t stop one of the pig beastmen, so it attacked him when it got the chance. The beastman who had stepped back was stomping his back foot and glaring at Arsene.
“Young Master! Are you okay?”
Knight Duot opened his eyes wide and said, when he saw the injured Arsene.
Arsene nodded his head.
“…I’m fine.”
And he calmly used his powers.
The shadow wolf instantly dispersed into the air and reappeared before Arsene’s eyes.
Arsene left it to the shadow wolf to defeat the beastman and looked at the wound on his side.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep, but it would still be dangerous if the bleeding was not stopped quickly.
‘First stop the bleeding…’
It was then.
Crack–!
There was a small crack in the necklace hanging around Arsene’s neck that he couldn’t notice.
And,
Paaat—!
The wound on Arsene’s side slowly began to heal.
Arsene blinked his eyes and quietly looked at the scene.
The sight of wounds healing.
Just as when Linsy directly treated him, a light green light appeared, and soon the wound was completely healed.
Arsene touched his side, which looked as if it had been washed in an instant, and the necklace Linsy had put on him.
‘Linsy.’
Linsy protects him again.
Meanwhile, the knights roughly sorted out the situation and cleared a road for the carriage.
“Master, you can get in the carriage now.”
Knight Degon opened the door for Arsene to enter the carriage.
Arsene put his sword in the sheath, and climbed into the carriage.
The carriage departed in a hurry.
There wasn’t much damage, but there was a long delay, so they had to get back to their territory quickly.
***
It was late at night when Arsene returned to the mansion.
Soon after he arrived at the mansion, Hern also arrived at Yeckhart’s mansion.
Hern’s eyes widened when he heard that Arsene had just returned to the mansion.
“Why are you just returning now? I heard you come back early.”
“We were delayed because we encountered a group of beastmen.”
Arsene responded as if it were no big deal.
It would have been easier if the battle had involved killing the opponent, but Arsene and Yeckhart’s knights didn’t kill the beastmen as Kendrick had wanted but only suppressed them.
Of course, if the injured beastmen were kept there, there would soon be deaths, but there were still some beastmen who would survive.
Hern, who heard that there were a large number of injured beastmen lying on the border of the sanctuary, nodded his head.
“Still, it’s a relief. There are medicines that can help ease the condition. But the problem is…”
Hern and Arsene’s eyes met in the air.
At the entrance to the basement where the altar was located, the knights guarding the place stood tall.
