The glint of light thanks to it stopped shining from Ariana's hands. A questionable eye was cast on Leonard.
"What doctor tried to poison Brother?"
"Not doctors but other people. I can't tell you who it is. Then don't ever tell anyone that I told you that, '" Leonard said.
"Why?"
It is difficult to tell the truth to Ariana, there is no way Leonard confessed that he actually wanted to harm the Duchess. That he teamed up with the Marquis to see the Duchess kneel before him.
Indeed he changed course wanting to take down Marquis Loid, but the problem lay with Idris. The servant will reveal Leonard's movements to Marquis Loid. If Marquis Loid finds out that he is a traitor, Leonard's life and that of his family will be put at risk. Figuring out the whereabouts of Leonard's parents must have been easy for a Marquis.
The only way Leonard's head is thought to be a double agent for Duchess Hillbright and Marquis Loid.
"I can't say it." Leonard.
Ariana scrunched her forehead. Leonard's actions are suspicious, but Ariana tries to trust the man who saved her. Despite the bar-bars, Leonard is a good guy.
"Alright, I trust you, Leonard" Ariana nodded softly.
"Thank you, Ariana."
Ariana got up to her sister's room. Flint followed. "What are you talking about with that guy, Ariana?"
"I can't say it, Brother Flint." Stability is seen from the eyes of Ariana. His promise to Leonard will be kept.
Flint retreated slowly, realizing that once Ariana was determined it was very difficult to shake. Even the Duchess had to fight hard to change Ariana's mind.
They reached the Duchess's room. Ariana approached her brother who was still awake.
"Is Brother given medicine by a doctor?" ask Ariana.
"Right, it's on the nightstand" Flint replied in place of Judith.
Ariana took a paper pack on the nightstand, then put it in her pocket. Leonard's request has him following it well. He smiled at Judith.
"Silver is cured so there is no need to take medicine anymore. I'll keep it."
"All right, thank you, Ana. Then, thank you Sylvie for bringing Ana here." Judith turned towards Ariana and Sylvie alternately.
"It's nothing, Brother Judith," replied Sylvie grimacing.
"Then I come back first, sister," said Ariana.
Judith nodded. "Take care of yourself, Ana."
"So too."
Ariana clasped her teleportation magic stone. Sylvie did the same. The two girls disappear in front of Judith and Flint.
Judith rose from her sleep. He does not want to laze with silence, there is still a lot of work that has not been completed. Moreover, his health had recovered, suddenly Flint was in front of him.
"You'd better take another day's rest, Duchess. You don't have to worry, I'll do your job" Flint suggested.
"I can't put it all on you, Flint." Duchess Hillbright insisted on her stance.
Flint won't lose either. "I'm not burdened the most important thing is your health. You don't want your family to worry, do you?"
Judith let out a long sigh back lying on her bed. "All right, I'll take a break. You can go back to work Flint."
"Okay, Duchess." Flint retreats to the Duchess's study.
Judith looked up at the ceiling, curious about Leonard's condition.

Arion's gaze was fixed on Ariana and Sylvie who had arrived at the temple. He approached them.
"Abserve the situation brother?" ask Arion.
"It's better, Rion," replied Ariana.
Arion breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Sylvie as he raised both corners of his lips.
"Thank you for telling us, Sylvie."
"No problem, Rion."
Sylvie shook her hands, covering her slightly flushed face. Arion's smile always makes Sylvie wrong. I don't know since when, his heart beat fast when with the Prince. Unfortunately, he did not dare to make a statement to Arion. The fear of being rejected because it is only considered as a friend continues to shackle Sylvie.
"Are you sick, Sylvie?" Arion put his hand on Sylvie's forehead like her mother always did when she was sick.
"I'm just hot. I'll say goodbye, Rion, Ana." Sylvie retreated quickly while waving to the twin brother. He activated the magic stone towards the Wollard residence.
Arion looked at Ariana who was as confused as he was. "Sylvie why?" ask Arion.
Ariana shook her head slowly. "I don't know, he was fine when he met up with brother."
"You rest, Ana. You must be tired. Let me arrange the temple construction."
Healing Judith and Leonard is not too draining Ariana. However, he had given blessings to the workers and people who came to the temple. Even a Saintess would be exhausted if she unleashed that much holy power.
"I'm a Saintess. I should've been here, Rion." Ariana looked straight at Arion.
Realizing the determination of his twin brother, Arion relents. At least, Ariana's confidence is increasing and Arion is happy about it. "Then don't push yourself, Ana. Don't make me and Dad worry."
"All right, Rion."
Arion re-organizes the workers, Ariana heads to the group of priests who give blessings to the workers. Ariana caught a stranger.
"Why are you here, Brother Raymond?"
Raymond turned towards Ariana, then bowed. "I work as a holy knight, so it's my duty to help, Saintess."
"Since when? Why don't we ever cross paths?" Ariana replaced the priest who gave Raymond his blessing. He scrunched his forehead, they were so close but Raymond did not meet him.
"About three months ago. I often train with other knights, so we never meet, Saintess." Raymond avoided Ariana's gaze.
Not wanting to ask further, Ariana ended the blessing on Raymond. Raymond's energy has returned. However, the holy knight fluttered before Ariana.
"What's up, Brother Raymond?"
Raymond hesitated to open his mouth. "If you need help, just ask me, Saintess."
"Well, I'll remember." Ariana smiled.
Raymond immediately resumed his work. Actually, he wanted to see Ariana, but did not dare. The distance between them has been widening since Ariana became a priest. Raymond tried to get closer to working as a knight, but still he was confused to find a topic of conversation.
Suddenly, someone patted Raymond on the shoulder. He turned to the man behind him.
"Sister Raymond, can you accompany me to the capital tomorrow?" asked Ariana hesitantly.
"I can, Saintess." Raymond lowered.
"Thank you, I'll wait at the gate tomorrow."
Ariana ran small towards her group again. Raymond pressed his beating heart. His eyes were hard to escape from that Saintess.
