A small quarrel that ended in a chase made the main entrance room of Marquess Rommel’s Mansion even messier than usual.

The dust and dirt that had been cleaned were swept back into this room because Zoe was running being chased by Vasilica.

Luckily, I was able to stop their behavior like spirits who were too excessive when hating each other.

With my large magical energy overflowing and limiting their movements, I could see their bodies falling quickly to the ground after my magical energy overflow caught their attention.

My large and dense magical energy overflow seemed to shackle the actions they were doing and now they looked like mosquitoes that had just been squashed by the palm of my hand.

With a trembling body and feeling a sense of fear from my magical energy overflow that was ready to explode towards them using magical energy chants, I started to look at them with a menace smile.

"Are you happy with playing around?" I asked with a cold expression on my face.

Zoe and Vasilica began to kneel in front of me using their spirit forms they looked like they were scared after receiving the pressure of magical energy that I gave them. With my mood still calm and not triggered by anger after this room became a mess after being cleaned, I could still tolerate what they had done if it was cleaned and tidied up again.

"Vasilica! I told you to think of Lily as your mother!"

"Why did you make a mess like this again!"

"You embarrass me as someone who has made a contract with you!"

Together with Vasilica who knelt in front of me, I could hear Hana’s voice grumbling to Vasilica because she felt annoyed that he had embarrassed herself. The behavior shown by Vasilica was like the manners that had been lost as a human who had formed a contract with a spirit.

Yes, I also feel embarrassed if Zoe often causes problems that could be avoided.

"Because of your rude behavior, I was reluctant to ask Lily to lend me one of her stealth slimes."

"The only janitor who could make my bedroom comfortable inside the Aurora Shrine has disappeared!"

"And all of that is thanks to your mistake of not admitting your past mistakes and holding an unworthy grudge as a spirit belonging to a Saintess!" Hana said with a firm tone of voice along with her cold gaze.

The cold gaze given by Hana seemed to give a small threat to Vasilica to be able to restrain herself more wisely as a heavenly holy dragon spirit who had formed a contract with the Saintess.

"Even though I intended to show Lily that the Aurora Shrine could accept tamed monsters and spirits. But it turned out that my spirit caused a problem like this, please forgive me for neglecting to educate my spirit properly, Lily," like giving an apology by bowing her body towards me, I felt a little guilty if this mistake happened because of the confrontation given by Zoe.

The overflow of my magical energy that restricted Zoe and Vasilica’s movements immediately disappeared to accept Hana’s apology.

Responding to Hana’s sincere apology, I stroked her hair and straightened her body position to be upright again. Getting an apology by bowing like that was a bit troublesome and embarrassing when experienced by myself.

"I don’t mind this, it’s just that it will make the Maid in charge of taking care of this room work harder than usual. For that, there must be someone responsible for cleaning this room like before," I said while directing my gaze to Zoe.

Zoe who understood my words immediately snapped her butterfly wings until a magic spread throughout this room. Like reversing time to the condition before it was dirty, some dust and dirt seemed to disappear as if returning to their previous place hidden from sight.

That efficient magic is one of Zoe’s special magic with her ability that seems to be able to manipulate the time circulating her in addition to her ability to use curse magic spells.

I think this makes me a little more relieved after the situation is more controlled than before.

"This is better than what happened before," I said in response to the room being cleaned up again with a snap of Zoe’s butterfly wings.

"It would be better if you two get along with each other after the past grudges are paid off, right?" I continued while looking at Vasilica who was still kneeling and bowing his head in his little dragon spirit form.

With this controlled state, I seemed to have become a frightening specter that even my spirit and the spirits that had been bound by contracts with other humans could fear.

Could this be a blessing given by my Goddess, the Goddess Aurora, and the Goddess of Destruction? Read exclusive adventures at Lokepub

With the combination of three different Goddess blessings, I felt like I exceeded what a human could achieve.

Moreover, my job as a Saintess had now increased to the job of the Monarch of Holy Destruction.

Receiving the magic pressure I gave, Zoe and Vasilica looked at each other.

"Hey, let’s make a deal to fight in a quiet place without disturbing the surrounding life?" Zoe said as if giving Vasilica a suggestion to fight in another quiet place.

"I agree with that," Vasilica replied as if holding back his anger after hearing Zoe’s words.

The grudges in the past were carried over to the present, I felt that the grudges between spirits had become eternal and attacked each other until this mortal world was destroyed.

Seeing their attitude of being forced to get along, I then heaved a sigh of relief after this funny little problem was over.

"They made my head spin when they fought by messing up everything around them," I said while glancing at Hana who felt awkward after her contract spirit made an embarrassing move on her.

"I’m sorry about this, Lily," Hana replied, lowering her face, blushing after her spirit went wild.

"Um, is this a sign that this room is safe from destruction?" Princess Anastasia asked in her small voice.

"I’m a little hesitant to ask that, but it’s safer than before, right?" Princess Anastasia asked once again to make sure Zoe and Vasilica had stopped fighting.

Unlike me and Hana who were used to seeing situations like this, it seemed that Princess Anastasia looked scared after seeing this unusual situation before her eyes.

"The situation is safe, Princess Anastasia," I replied while glancing at Princess Anastasia who was hiding behind my back.

"Huh?" Seeing Princess Anastasia who was hiding behind my back, it seemed that I felt something strange from her.

Compared to what Zoe and Vasilica did, my magical energy outburst should have been much more frightening than the chaos caused by the two spirits who didn’t get along.

"By the way, what are you doing, Princess Anastasia?" Hana asked with a cynical look in her eyes at Princess Anastasia who was hiding behind my back.

"I-I’m hiding from two spirits who are fighting each other," replied Princess Anastasia while burying her face in my back.

"Huuhhh? Hiding huh?" with soft footsteps, Hana seemed to be pulling Princess Anastasia’s arm until her body that was hiding behind my back came out.

"Don’t take advantage of the situation!" Hana grumbled, looking annoyed at Princess Anastasia.

"Eehh... but I have to hide to ensure my safety as a Princess. If something happens to me, then the Marquess Rommel family will be fully responsible," replied Princess Anastasia while puffing out her cheeks as if she was annoyed at Hana who had pulled herself out of her hiding place.

"A safe place should be behind a thick and sturdy wall!" Hana argued, giving her a small argument.

Along with that small argument, I saw some sparks and flashes of electricity from both of their eyes who wanted to attack each other’s arguments.

After breaking up the two fighting spirits earlier, I had to intervene in breaking up the verbal fight between Hana and Princess Anastasia.

Why is my job getting harder than usual?!

I then gave a gentle caress to their hair and started moving down to pull their cheeks.

Squuiisshhh...

"What are you two doing?" I asked in a weak tone after seeing several unimportant fights always happening before my own eyes.

Starting from a fight between two spirits from an unsatisfied past grudge and now a small fight between two important women who have positions in the Aurora Kingdom.

Can’t I feel calm for just a moment?

When I was expecting the peace that I wanted to feel, suddenly the main door of the Marquess Rommel Mansion opened wide and Sebastian was seen entering it.

Crraaacckkk...

"Lily-sama, are you waiting for someone to come?" Sebastian asked after seeing me standing not far from the main entrance of Marquess Rommel’s Mansion.

"No, Sebastian. I’m just doing a small inspection to make sure the forest pests don’t grow back to this place. You know that this Mansion that has been abandoned for quite a long time has become a fertile field for growing mushrooms and moss that looks as gloomy as an abandoned residence."

"Ah, inspection huh? It seems like we have to do that periodically because recently we found a rat nest that has formed a large colony in the back garden."

"O-Oh, no, has that been resolved by extermination?" hearing Sebastian’s words, suddenly my body shuddered as if feeling something disgusting from the nocturnal rodents that often become pests in every resident’s house.

"Marchioness Amagi has done that noble task because she is annoyed with their population that is growing before her very eyes. For now, some smells of burnt meat have filled the back garden. I hope it doesn’t bother Lily-sama because it is close to your private bedroom."

Thanks for the information, now I really feel bothered when my nose smells the smell of burnt meat.

A nest of rats that have formed a colony, huh?

That would make my mother scream and burn them without a trace.

I hope my mother doesn’t leave a single colony that makes me feel uncomfortable walking around the back garden.

"Ah, I guess for the time being, I will close my bedroom’s window so that I don’t smell the smell of burnt meat," I replied with a light word that didn’t show my attitude of objecting to it along with a glance of my eyes directed at Princess Anastasia and Hana.

"You all also don’t feel bothered by what my mother has done, right?" I asked Princess Anastasia and Hana.

With their matching head movements and nodding, I felt that it was no longer a problem for the time being.

"I am very relieved after hearing the answer," Sebastian replied, having confirmed the answer in front of him and smiling in relief.
