Well, it's the next day and after breakfast and prayer, I've prepared to go et the pope. After the things that happened yesterday, I really needed to sleep and forget everything.
I can't say I had a good night's sleep, since I kept rembering the first death I witnessed. It's so strange how human life is so fragile yet so resilient.
Both my life and the life of that person ended quickly, but unlike that person, I ca back, although coming back to life in a new world is not necessarily good.
I adjust my clothes as Alehandro guides to an area where the carriages are, since the pope is not currently at the church and we have to wait, so I should greet him when he arrives.
"Alehandro, could you go get so water?" Alehandro acts the sa way as yesterday, but I can't act the sa way as I did in the beginning. Seeing Alehandro take a life makes feel strange being close to him.
It's not like I'm not grateful to him for saving , in fact I'm very grateful for that, it's just strange.
'What's that?' I approach a strange wagon. It has the symbol of the church but is well-covered. I take advantage of the fact that there is no one guarding it to look underneath, letting my curiosity get the better of since I saw that so Templars were doing sothing here.
I slightly lift the protection of the wagon to see the cargo.
'Gold...a lot of gold, but why is it being transported this way instead of a more secure way?...unless...'
"Boo"
"Kyaaa?" I look back startled when soone suddenly touches my shoulders. I see a tall man, strangely similar to Alehandro, although his eyes are green instead of blue.
"What were you doing in that wagon, holy miss?" He speaks with a smile, but I quickly notice that his smile is extrely false, after all, it's the sa kind of smile that was always on my face.
"I-I was just looking..." I don't know what to say and I don't know why they're transporting gold this way, I just have certain deductions.
"Just looking, huh?...okay then I ask that you step away from that cargo, holy miss, as it belongs to the pope" He speaks in a cold tone, which gives chills.
"H-Haha, o-of course" I say, stepping away from the cargo.
'As I thought, it's dirty money...probably donation money or sothing like that that the pope is stealing...this guy must think I don't understand this kind of thing since in this world I'm just a commoner who beca a saint.'
"W-What's your na?" I ask him with doubt.
"I'm Yurian Calidos, holy miss" His voice doesn't have the sa respect as Alehandro's, and his gaze at my body is disgusting.
'How disgusting...' This is the first ti I've felt the gaze of lust directed at , and it disgusts even more because it's from a man.
"I see, you're Alehandro's brother...and-then I suppose you're the captain of the Inquisitors" I say to him as we walk away from the cargo.
'He must think I'm stupid...'
"That's right, holy miss, I'm the current captain of the Inquisitors" He says with a seductive smile, which only causes more revulsion.
"You're beautiful and intelligent, you'd make a good wife" My revulsion for this arrogant bastard increases by the second. I hate being flirted with.
I think what disgusts the most about this guy is that he reminds of my old self.
'I think he's not a nice person like Alehandro...better I stay away from this kind of person' The trash recognizes its own, this phrase fits the situation perfectly. This guy is not soone I should be around.
I can tell just by looking at him that this guy is an arrogant and proud nobleman.
I may be a bad person, but at least I'm recognizing my mistakes after losing everything, which is why I know this guy will cause problems in the future if we get close.
"Holy miss, what do you think about having dinner with tonight?" He asks in a seductive tone while giving a smile that doesn't work, since it's the sa smile I used to give to won in my life as a man.
'Was this how they felt when I flirted with them?...' It's disgusting, although a large part of the disgust cos more from the fact that in this life I'm altruistic, and he is obviously a bad person.
"I'm sorry, I won't be able to go to any dinner, I need to go to bed early to carry out my duties tomorrow" I say to him, making it clear that I don't want to go, he suddenly moves, placing his hand on my waist.
"Are you sure, holy miss? I can give you an unforgettable night" His seductive tone just makes want to kick him in the balls. It's so strange to be flirted with.
"Yes, I'm sure, Mr. Yurian" I call him "Mr." to make it clear that I want to maintain any form of intimacy away.
"You can just call Yurian, holy miss" I try to detach myself from his arms as I say,
"Mr. Yurian, could you release ? It's disrespectful to embrace a woman like this..." I felt strange to call myself a woman, but I try to take advantage of any advantage I have that could get out of this situation.
"Release her before I cut off your hands, Yurian" I hear an angry voice, soon I see Alehandro.
"Oh? And why do you think a re Templar can do such a thing to the captain of the Inquisitors?" Yurian says in a provocative way, trying to irritate Alehandro.
"You are touching the body of the saint without permission, and as such I can punish you for sacrilege according to the laws of the church. The body of the saint can only be touched in 3 cases"
"First, with the permission of the saint herself, second in case of ergencies such as assassination attempts, and third on special occasions where contact is inevitable."
"Miss Shizune asked you to release her, so you no longer have permission to touch her body" Alehandro puts the water he brought on a barrel, then places his hand on his sword, ready to draw it at any mont.
"Tsk" I hear Yurian click his tongue, then he releases and steps away.
"See you around, brother" Yurian says as he leaves, not very satisfied. Soon Alehandro cos to .
"Miss Shizune, did he do anything to you?" Alehandro asks with concern, the previous coldness quickly disappearing.
"N-No...he just made an invitation, but I refused..." I say honestly.
'What was that reaction...it was frightening...his gaze seed like...Himari...' I shudder at the mory of Himari's lunatic gaze. That is sothing I will never forget, the coldness in that gaze will be forever etched in my mory.
And now Alehandro's gaze was the sa, the sa coldness I saw in Himari's gaze, a coldness different from the one normally used on people.
'Alehandro maybe the Yandere of this life?...I need to be careful...' I know it's cowardly, but I decide to use the situation to my advantage.
"A-Alehandro, I-I'm scared of this...I think Mr. Yurian is planning sothing bad, could you protect ?" I hate having to be false like this, but I'm selfish, I don't want to die, so it's better to make Alehandro see that there's no reason for him to kill .
If Alehandro is really my Yandere, as long as I pretend I don't know anything and play the obedient one, Alehandro won't have a reason to kill .
"Don't worry, Miss Shizune, I'll protect you with my life if necessary" He says with conviction.
'Why did it start so soon? I've been in this world for only 1 day...why is Alehandro already showing signs of being the Yandere...how can he start loving soone he just t?'
'Please let be wrong and it's just a lie' If Alehandro is the Yandere, it will be impossible for to survive if he tries to kill .
To it's completely unrealistic. Alehandro has no reason to love , okay, I'm very beautiful, but Alehandro doesn't seem to be the superficial type who would love soone just for their appearance.
But that's what makes it all so confusing. Alehandro didn't know until yesterday, I've never helped him with anything, we've barely had any conversations beyond general ones, so how can he love ?
'I have to observe...if Alehandro shows more signs of obsession or possessiveness, it ans he is the Yandere...' I take a deep breath.
'Okay, let's calm down...Alehandro may not be the Yandere, he may just be very serious during work...after all, he's already killed in cold blood, so maybe that coldness was just him doing his job.'
"Here's the water you asked for... Miss Shizune, you're trembling...you don't have to be afraid, I won't let Yurian do anything to you" I take the water container and notice my hand trembling as he said.
But I'm not afraid of Yurian, I'm afraid of Alehandro.
"Y-Yes...thank you...Alehandro, does the pope receive gold shipnts directly for himself?" I decide to divert Alehandro's attention to sothing else.
"Gold shipnt? For the pope? That's not normal, why do you ask?"
"O-Oh, it's just that Yurian said the gold in that wagon is for the pope, I think it's nothing, thanks for answering" This seems to catch Alehandro's attention.
'Great, I diverted his attention to sothing else that isn't ...' I don't know why this interested Alehandro, but as long as he's not focused on , it's fine. I take a deep breath, calming down from this unnecessary turbulence.
Soon I hear a carriage arriving. I go to the front and see a white carriage with a pattern. The pattern is a large golden cross, and above the cross is the sun.
'The pope's carriage...I need to compose myself and not do anything stupid...' I don't know much about being a saint and still don't know practically anything about the religion of this place.
