Gilles (Age: 12)

Did you find out anything?

Duke shook his head at my words.

If Duke couldnt understand it, Im sure I couldnt either.

Duke and I were researching the days before Alicias personality changed in the schools empty old library.

Not long ago, I had turned twelve and had a big celebration at the Williams house. Alan still didnt like me, but Henry, Albert, and Arnold had been too kind to me, and I had hoped to see Alicias mother, but she was away on an errand that day.

Of course, Duke congratulated me. He handed me an envelope, which I havent opened yet.

It was then that I told him about the rose that had bloomed the day before Alicias personality had changed.

No matter how much research I did, I couldnt find any information about the black rose. I wish I could have actually seen it in person.

Thats not the point~! I have good news!

A high-pitched voice echoes in my ears as Mel comes into our line of sight, cheeks puffed out, and Henry is behind her, a wry smile on his face.

I felt like a parent struggling with a disobedient child.

What?

Alialis certification as a Saint was successfully completed!! Yay!

Alicia was definitely going to kill her Mel, thank you so much for everything youve done.

I mean, I didnt know it was possible to do it without her all of Alicias hard work up to this point had gone down the drain. She desperately wanted to be a villain, but now shes getting the polar opposite of what she expected.

Im happy for her, but its kind of complicated.

Everyone nodded at my words.

Normally, this is something one should be happy about, right?

I wonder if Aliali will be angry because we did it without her permission. But if we dont do this, Duke wont be able to marry Aliali!

Mel raised her voice after Henry muttered.

Indeed, that was true as well. In order for Duke to marry Alicia, he would have to certify her as a saint.

I guess its easier than expected.

Saint status? Nope, it normally wouldnt be that easy, you know?

My response was met with an exaggerated reaction from Mel.

How did you do it?

I went to see His Majesty the King. Then, when I requested for her to be approved as a Saint, it was immediately processed.

Thats too easy!

Gilles, you have no idea how hard it is to get an audience with His Majesty the King. Well, I used my connections with Duke.

What did you say about Alicia?

Henry came into the conversation between Mel and me.

I was curious about that, too. I wondered if Mel could talk to His Majesty the King without being rude.

Well, of course, Aliali has smooth skin, those beautiful golden eyes that everyone is glued to, shes cute, super beautiful, and invincible

Thats not exactly what I overheard.

Duke interrupted Mel.

My father told me that Alicias accomplishments to date were explained in great detail and that she passionately stated that Alicia already had the credentials to be a saint.

Then, with a grin, Duke smiled. Seeing this, Mels face turned red, and she yelled.

Duke!!! I cant believe it!!! Im going to have to tell Alicia about this prince!

For what its worth, Mel was loyal to Duke.

You must not tell Alicia. Shell know youve certified her as a saint.

Oh, thats right.

Lets keep Alicia in the dark about this for now.

Mel nodded in agreement to Henrys suggestion, and Duke gave a small Yeah as he stood next to her.

I dont think well be able to keep it a secret for long. Well, even if it does get out, I had nothing to do with her being named a saint.
