Chapter Title: A Special Activity
-----------------------------------------------------------------
From that day on.
Lellia began to walk around with Oscar on her left and Romeo on her right.
When the other children saw the two calling Lellia ‘Boss,’ they glanced over with curious eyes.
The priests even caused some trouble by calling Oscar and Romeo aside to ask, “By any chance… has His Highness, Crown Prince Leo of Auraria, ever struck you two?”
Fortunately, Lellia was soon cleared of the false accusation.
The two boys had proven her innocence.
And so, the not-so-peaceful days passed.
The time for that ‘specific activity’ Lellia dreaded was approaching.
The temple was particularly keen on deepening the children's friendships, and this ‘special activity’ was devised for that very reason.
However, there was a problem with this particular activity.
‘These crazy bastards. Why the hell are they doing something like this? And to kids this young, no less?’
The priests described it as ‘an activity to defeat the demons that attempt to invade your hearts.’
In short, it was about eliminating the fear of demons.
‘It's a test of courage, what else?’
A wave of annoyance washed over her, but Lellia couldn't even complain, as she was in a position where she had to remain on her best behavior.
Besides, all the other children were accepting it quietly, and it would be strange for her to be the only one to step up and refuse.
‘It's not like they'd cancel it just because I spoke up.’
Everything was happening with the guardians' permission. No matter if she was the crown prince, as long as the emperor had given his consent, the opinion of a ten-year-old kid didn't matter.
The children seemed thrilled, saying they would get to fight demons. They were just like lower-elementary schoolers.
‘In the novel, I'm sure….’
Lellia couldn't share the other children's pure excitement, but she accepted it calmly.
However, she was carefully recalling a certain incident she had seen in the original story.
