Let's Train Heroine

Chapter 209: Heroine Saw Accident

Maris had come at royal palace, to explain Kai about the restaurant incident. She came to inform that she was one who deal with those guys so he doesn't need to at Lucan's place for information. Maris doesn't want anyone distrub Lucan's rest day. After explaining she stood up leave, ignoring Kai's request of having lunch together.

Maris doesn't have time and desire for having lunch with other man than Lucan.

After leaving the royal palace, Maris boarded the Great Temple's carriage to head home.

Though the academy was also closed today, Maris had duties at the temple as a saint.

There was no need to rush, but Maris had no time for idle activities.

"Let's go," Maris said, her tone decisive.

"Certainly, Lady Saint," the driver responded promptly.

Upon Maris's command, the carriage set off immediately.

Alongside the moving carriage, Temple Knights ran in escort. Even they seemed to question whether Maris needed such protection, but they remained dutiful.

Maris, while surrendering to the intermittent jolts of the carriage, sat in silence. When she was with Lucan, she always had a sunny smile, but when alone, she was quite different. In fact, she seemed more displeased than usual.

I haven't seen Lucan's face for eleven hours… I'm starting to feel the lack of Lucan.

Maris had lived apart from Lucan for some months after entering the academy. However, since Lucan began teaching there and they started seeing each other regularly, his absence felt even more lonely.

"Lucan… Lucan… Lucan…" she murmured, as if in a dream, her voice barely audible.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped.

Maris looked up, tilting her head in confusion. "What's the matter?"

"My apologies, Lady Saint," one of the Temple Knights outside responded.

"It seems there's an injured person ahead, and we can't pass. Apparently, another carriage ran over a child…"

"I'll go immediately!" Maris declared, standing up from her seat without hesitation.

She stepped out of the carriage, leading the bewildered Temple Knights, and hurried to the site of the accident.

Upon arrival, Maris gasped softly. "Oh…"

There, lying unconscious on the ground, was a young girl.

Around her were townspeople trying to help, onlookers, and those responsible for the accident making a commotion. Maris's expression darkened at the sight of the chaos.

"Get out of the way! Move it! Do you know who I am?!" A middle-aged man in fine clothes, clearly a noble, was causing a scene.

Maris didn't recognize his face, but the man's arrogance was unmistakable.

"I have an important business meeting to attend! I can't waste time with just one child!" the nobleman shouted, trying to push his way through the crowd.

"No, it doesn't work that way. No matter how noble you are, you can't just run over a child and walk away!" a town constable argued, standing firm in his path.

In this kingdom, the noble and commoner get punisment for any crime they commit, the difference was that noble could give money to get away from small crime like running over a girl by accident and girl didn't died.

This nobleman, surrounded by his coachman, guards, and the constables, was clearly the one responsible for the accident. Despite the constables' efforts to detain him, he seemed indifferent.

"Why should I care about a mere commoner! Here, take the money and disappear!" The nobleman threw coins onto the ground, his contempt obvious as he tried to leave.

The constables, looking troubled, hesitated as they struggled to restrain him.

"Hah…" Maris sighed softly, feeling a mixture of disappointment and frustration. Even if the situation was an unfortunate accident, the nobleman's behavior was despicable.

But judging the man was not her responsibility. Maris turned her attention to the injured girl, kneeling beside her with a gentle but firm demeanor.

"Ugh… ah…" the girl groaned in pain.

"It's okay," Maris reassured her, her voice calm and soothing. "I'll heal you right away."

The girl had a large head wound and possible internal injuries, but she was alive. As long as she lived, Maris could heal her with her divine magic. She raised her hand, white light flowing from her fingertips, enveloping the girl's body.

Within moments, the girl's wounds vanished, the healing complete.

"Oh, she's healed!" one of the onlookers exclaimed in awe.

"Pink hair… Could she be the Saint of the Great Temple?!"

"It's the Saint! The Saint has arrived!" others in the crowd began to murmur, their voices filled with reverence.

Maris, focused entirely on her task, gently checked the girl's pulse and breathing. Satisfied that both were stable, she nodded to herself.

"Uh… Miss Angel? Is this heaven?" the girl suddenly asked, her brown eyes blinking up at Maris in confusion.

Maris smiled softly, shaking her head. "No, this is still the world of the living. Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah… I'm fine…" the girl said, sitting up slowly.

"Good," Maris replied. "Then, could you tell me your name and where you live? If you start to feel pain or unwell later, go to the temple, okay?"

"Okay! Thank you, Miss Angel!" The girl beamed, her energy returning as she gave Maris the necessary information.

After ensuring the girl was well, Maris stood, waving as the child happily ran off towards home.

"Well…" Maris began, turning back to the carriage.

"Humph! That's enough, let me go!" the nobleman barked, reclining arrogantly and clearly unbothered by the situation. He didn't even glance in Maris's direction.

"…"

Though the man's attitude was revolting, Maris knew there was little she could do. This was an accident, not an intentional crime, and even if the man were punished, it would likely be nothing more than a fine.

"Let's go, Lady Saint," one of the Temple Knights suggested, stepping forward to escort her.

"…Yes." Maris nodded, preparing to return to the carriage.

"Hey, isn't that somewhat against justice?" a low male voice called out from the crowd.

Maris paused, her gaze shifting toward the voice.

There, confronting the noble was man with dark hair, around same age as her.
