Capítulo 30: Heroine Met New Father and Brother

After meeting her new sister, Maris walked inside the mansion and met her new father, the head of the Rainsa Family, Trico Rainsa.

"I'm Maris, nice to meet you."

Seeing Maris elegantly bow with her skirt held up, the men who would become her stepfather and stepbrother were all at a loss for words.

"Ah, welcome indeed. I am Trico, head of the Rainsa Duke Family. You may think of me as your real father."

So this is the saint... Such incredible beauty and aura... not something a commoner could have, Trico muttered.

He had heard that the newly discovered saint was of commoner origin, but any feelings of disdain disappeared at first sight.

Maris was dazzlingly beautiful and her manners were impeccable.

Her every gesture was so refined that they would easily accept her as a daughter from a noble family superior to a marquis.

It was fortunate to have welcomed this girl as an adopted daughter... If Sarina becomes queen and Reina reigns at the pinnacle of the temple as a saint, our family's power will be completely...

"Yes. Nice to meet you... Father," Maris smiled and said.

"Ugh...!"

Trico was happy to have such a beautiful and talented daughter and was thinking about how to use her, but when he saw Maris's smile as radiant as the sun, he suddenly felt a surge of guilt.

C-Can I really use this girl as a political tool? Why do I feel like I'm doing something terribly wrong...!?

Maris has a divine halo, a type of power that makes others do good deeds, and if someone has evil thoughts, this divine halo makes them feel guilt. However, this divine halo only works on those who have weaker wills than Maris.

Trico, who had a weaker will, bathed in the holy light that burns evil. Trico was subtly being purified.

"...."

Meanwhile, another man present, Trino Rainsa, the heir to the Rainsa Duke Family, stood gaping at Maris, completely captivated.

Although Trino would become Maris's stepbrother... his eyes clearly held lust, and even under the holy light, his impure thoughts continued to grow, his evil will stronger than Maris's good will.

"Hey, Trino. Aren't you going to introduce yourself too?"

"...."

"Trino!"

"Y-Yes!?"

Startled by his father calling his name again, Trino straightened up hastily.

"I-I am Trino Rainsa... the eldest son of the Rainsa Duke Family, in other words, your older brother!"

"Yes. Nice to meet you, Brother Trino."

"Ugh...!"

Trino breathed heavily at Maris's smiling greeting.

How beautiful she is...! I must make her my wife...!

With glittering eyes, Trino vowed firmly.

This man, in the game, was also captivated by Maris's beauty. In the game, he tried to assault Maris but Maris was saved by another man. However, Trino didn't give up and tried many assaults on Maris, and Maris, being kind-hearted, never gave Trino strict punishment, which made Trino think that Maris cared about him.

In one route, Trino becomes the final boss, and he was killed by Maris with the help of the man who stopped all of Trino's evil plans.

"Anyway, please rest and recover from your journey today... Since we weren't prepared with a room due to the suddenness, please use the guest room."

After clearing his throat, Trico spoke.

In reality, they didn't intend to keep the commoner-born saint in their home for long and planned to send her to the Grand Temple soon, hence the lack of prepared rooms.

"I'll have your room ready by tomorrow. Please relax as if it were your own home."

"Thank you, Father... However, that won't be necessary."

"Hmm?"

"I plan to visit the Grand Temple as soon as tomorrow. I want to start training as a saint as soon as possible."

"Y-You don't have to rush like that! This is your home. Please take your time!"

Trino said in a fluster.

It was unbearable to part with a woman who was even more than he had hoped for.

Once she began training at the Grand Temple, there was no telling when she might return... with this beauty, there was a good chance other suitors would appear.

"I've heard you've already mastered a variety of sacred arts. There's no need to rush off to the Grand Temple!" Trino said.

"As your brother said, there is no rush. At least stay here until you enter the academy?"

Trico also chimed in, but Maris shook her head with a calm smile.

"No... As a saint, I want to fulfill my mission as soon as possible. I have a goal I want to catch up to as soon as possible. Therefore, I can't afford to stand still."

"...."

"I apologize to the Rainsa Duke Family, who have been so supportive, but..."

"No... If you say so strongly, then certainly."

Feeling Maris's unwavering resolve in her strong tone, Trico nodded.

"If anything happens, please rely on the Duke Family anytime. Please do not hesitate."

"Yes, thank you very much! Father!"

"...."

While Maris and Trico exchanged smiles, Trino alone had a clouded expression and a troubled look on his face.

The two smiling did not notice the desire smoldering in the heart of Trino Rainsa... one of the villain characters.
