You think you're worthy of saving the world?

The next day, Siegel's body was discovered by the Knights on their morning patrol.

The news quickly spread throughout the Upper City and caused a huge uproar.

After all, the Papal City (limited to the upper-level areas) is known as the safest place in the entire Diamat continent, so it is extremely rare for a nobleman to die on the roadside like this.

A revenge killing? A crime of passion? Or simply a robbery?

The onlookers were excitedly discussing it.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Vatican did not conduct a more detailed and in-depth investigation into the matter.

The Knights Templar announced on the morning of the third day that Siegel had died in a low-probability accident.

He tragically slipped and fell while walking at night in the rain, hitting the back of his head and dying because he did not receive timely medical attention.

Although it is reasonable, it is still hard for anyone to accept at first glance, but the Papal Court accepted this statement.

Not only that, even Siegel's family accepted this absurd cause of death, and the funeral was held in a very rushed and simple manner.

The reason they are so secretive is simple: a large quantity of new types of drugs was found in the corpses.

Siegel's accident was most likely related to drug overdose.

Although Siegel's family members were not directly involved in his drug business, they were well aware of his shady dealings.

Now that things have come to this, they desperately want to sever ties with Siegel and try to avoid trouble.

The news of the nobleman's death from poisoning was relayed to the upper echelons of the Papal Court that very afternoon.

The higher-ups felt that revealing the truth would have negative consequences, so they skipped the usual procedures and urged the Knights to close the case as soon as possible.

—The incident surrounding Siegel's death has now come to an end.

"That's great, Anna... the Knights have ruled that Siegel's death was an accident!"

Dressed in a maid outfit, Eileen quickly scanned the words on the newspaper, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes as she spoke happily.

Annabelle, also dressed in a maid outfit, stared intently at the newspaper, repeatedly reading the reports, her eyes still lingering with disbelief at the outcome.

Eileen thought she was still feeling guilty about Siegel's death, so she comforted her.

"Although it's not good to say this about the dead Siegel, he truly deserved to die!"

Drug dealers really deserve to die! Even without that accident, they deserve divine retribution... Yes! This must be the goddess's divine punishment!

If it weren't for the goddess's wrath, there's no way to explain how Siegel just tripped and fell, hitting the back of his head, and died instantly...

So Anna, you don't need to blame yourself at all! This accident was actually the goddess using your hand to rid the evil! You should be proud!

"……is that so?"

Annabelle bit her lip, then nodded gently: "...Mm."

Just two nights ago, she was in the abyss of despair, but she never imagined that in just twenty hours, she would be cleared of murder charges.

She knew very well that this was not divine punishment from the goddess, and that she had not received any protection from the goddess.

All of this is thanks to Euryphus.

The night before last, Annabelle had already lost the ability to think clearly, and Eileen is probably in no better shape.

However, Euryphus was able to calmly and reasonably handle the situation, successfully turning Siegel's death into an accident that was difficult to investigate.

If I hadn't inexplicably grabbed Euryphus's hand the night before last and told him the truth...

She has probably surrendered to the Knights now and is imprisoned awaiting trial.

The father's reputation will be affected, and the mother will be devastated...

Thinking of her parents, Annabelle felt a little less guilty.

Beside her, Eileen was still angrily complaining about how hateful the drug dealers were.

Just then, an impatient shout rang out from outside the kitchen.

"Isn't breakfast ready yet?!"

Eileen and Annabelle exchanged a glance and quickly returned to their maid duties.

……

……

……

After finishing the crème brûlée dessert, Yuri put the spoon back on the table and looked up.

Throughout the breakfast, he could feel two pairs of eyes staring intently at him, which made him very uncomfortable.

"...How was breakfast today, Master?"

One of the two people looking at her asked with a smile.

"its not bad, right."

Yuri took the napkin from her and wiped her lips.

This morning, Eileen was carefully observing and reading people's expressions.

After Annabelle was cleared of suspicion, she finally felt relieved, but then a fleeting thought came to mind again—

When they arrived at the scene, was Siegel really already dead...?

Neither Erin nor Annabelle examined the body at the time.

Yuri was the only person who had contact with the body—and he forbade us from getting close to it.

It is not impossible that Siegel was still alive at that time.

Eileen recalled a scene from a novel she had read before.

After A kills B with a blunt weapon, he hurriedly hides the body. However, B is actually not dead at all, but is killed by C who happens to be passing by, and the murder is framed by A. This is a suspenseful story with a twist.

The situation the night before last was remarkably similar to this story.

When Annabelle slammed the door and left Yuri's house, she was in a very bad emotional state and was on the verge of a breakdown.

At that moment, she had already lost her usual calm judgment; she felt like the unluckiest person in the world…

So is it possible that:

Siegel was only knocked unconscious by a concussion after being pushed down by Annabelle, but Annabelle panicked and mistakenly thought he was dead.

Eileen had heard of the so-called "apparent death state," where the heart stops beating but the person is not actually dead.

The most classic example of religious fraud is using a state of feigned death to demonstrate the miracle of "resurrection".

Even if it wasn't a fake death, Anna certainly didn't examine the body carefully at the time.

If we assume our guess is true, then Annabelle didn't kill Siegel at all—

As a result, people still found Siegel's body the next day.

"..."

If this assumption is true, then Siegel was killed by a lethal dose of drugs administered by Yuri, or perhaps...

Eileen gasped: while she and Annabelle were away, Yuri discovered that Siegel was still alive and secretly ended his life—

To prevent complications, or simply to carry out vigilante justice against drug dealers, or both.

After knowing him for so long, Eileen felt that it wouldn't be surprising if Yuri really did something like that; he just had such a cold and clear mind.

In either case, it is impossible to verify.

Whether Siegel was still alive at the time is now known only to Euryphus.

Eileen decided to take this question, this secret, to her grave.

On the one hand, she simply didn't have the courage to ask Yuri for the truth.

On one hand, it was to repay Yuri for helping Anna.

Of course, there is also the most important reason: Eileen has come to regard Euryph as her master and intends to follow him from now on.

"How long are you planning to keep staring?" Yuri asked, frowning, interrupting Eileen's thoughts.

"Ah...sorry!" She playfully stuck out her tongue.

Annabelle walked up to Euryphus, bent down slightly, and spoke expressionlessly.

"Thank you, Master. I will never forget your kindness."

"That's it!?"

Before Yuri could speak, Eileen beside him cried out first.

She grabbed Anna's arm and said angrily, "Anna, isn't this thanks a bit insincere? Master helped you so much, I can't stand it anymore!"

"Um... what should I do then?"

Annabelle asked with a serious expression.

She was grateful to Yuri for helping her despite past grievances, and also hoped to resolve the conflict with him, but she didn't know how to express it.

After all, what I did and said in the past was really too much, so it's normal that the other party is unwilling to forgive me.

She was mentally prepared to be despised by Euryphus for the rest of her life.

"This...this..."

Eileen leaned close to Annabelle's ear, covered her mouth, and whispered something.

As Annabelle listened to Eileen's speech, a delicate blush inexplicably crept onto her fair face.

She hesitated, "Ugh...does it really have to go this far?"

"That's right, that's right! It has to be done to this extent!"

Eileen nodded, but Yuri said, "Anna, you don't need to pay attention to what she said."

He got up from the dining table and walked towards his room.

"I'm going to school now, shouldn't you all get ready to go to work too?"

"Yes……"

"Yes."
