No. 315
Ten days after expressing the will of independence, I looked at the holy waters in the sky through the window.
‘It’s getting bigger and bigger.’
The rate of growth is much faster than expected.
Just as I was contemplating what had happened, Seria jumped in.
"Miss!"
"What's up?"
“The gates of the temple have been opened.”
I hesitated, my face hardened.
“Did you respond to the Imperial Palace’s investigation?”
"No. I did not follow the orders of the Imperial Palace and started evangelism.”
"Evangelize… … .”
“How did it happen? It’s all of a sudden.”
I smirked and sat down on the chair.
“It’s obvious. There are not enough people to make holy water. You can defeat us by twisting it somehow and making it holy water.”
“Will people visit the temple in Panguk, which is branded as an unclean religion?”
“I will find you.”
"Yes?"
I knocked on the window with my fingertips.
“Because they are afraid.”
“Aren’t those monsters the temple solved? Everyone knows it, right?”
“I’m going because it’s a temple that possesses such a terrifying monster. If you go to the temple, you will think that only you will be safe.”
Above all, the more dizzy the world is, the more people need a place to lean on.
‘There is a reason why pseudo-religions are rampant in times of crisis.’
People need something to lean on when they are dizzy.
Those who need to lean on will be blindfolded, no matter how plain the truth may be.
There is no way that the state religion that everyone has believed in until now is wrong.
Something is wrong.
Poor priests suffered from the tactics of those in power.
The Temple wasn't wrong.
Seria frowned at me.
“You gave me too much time. I should have taken it down right away, without time to prepare.”
“Isn’t the Imperial Palace still in contact?”
"Yes."
I closed my eyes tightly.
‘I have to strike before the Temple completes all preparations.’
But the Imperial Palace will need more time. Dubbleed's independence was never an easy decision.
Dubleed was the undisputed center of imperial commerce and politics.
The central axis of the Empire that is responsible for 10% of the taxes of the Wyggentra Empire just with the Long-distance movement and the Suwon project.
Without such Dubleed, the Empire would be in great chaos.
‘But I can’t wait.’
I also have to prepare before the decisive battle.
Ishak and John are in charge of maintaining Dubleed's army, and Henry and Dad are in charge of cracking down on the nobles of the Empire and royalty in other countries.
‘I have to estimate the number of temples.’
What if I were Mina and the Pope?
‘At this time, most of the powerful people of the Empire have turned their backs on them and even the Imperial Palace is trying to arrest them……'
As I tapped the table with my index finger, I took a hot breath.
I quickly looked at Seria.
“We should start preparing. Seria, bring me parchment.”
"Yes?"
"Hurry!"
I immediately started writing the letters on the parchment Seria had brought.
Dark clouds were gathering in the sky.

Andre, who was spying on me in the wagon, bit the nail of the Dubleed.
'Damn it, damn it...…!’
As the first prince, why did he have to bow his head to a girl?
I thought about going back like this, but the mother's sharp voice rang in my ears.
[If he is not forgiven by the Dubleed maiden, he does not need to return to the Imperial Palace.]
As she shakes her head as if pathetic and pathetic with her grandfather, who had stopped terribly, Sloane Marche also passes through her mind one after the other.
Andre rubbed his face with his dry hands.
‘This guy and that guy are all ignoring me.’
Born as the eldest son of the emperor, who is sure to inherit the throne, himself, the most noble bloodline in the world.
It was when he nervously slammed the inside wall of the wagon.
Smart.
A small knock was heard.
When I opened the window, I saw a man wearing a robe.
“It’s been a while, my lord.”
Andre shouted, startled by the familiar voice.
"You……!”
Cardinal Ridalante.
Andre smirked.
“Crazy. Dubleed, coming to me in front of me.”
“Isn’t it safer than going to the Imperial Palace? Your Majesty, please give me a moment.”
“Did you dare come to the prince for a subject that you harbor aversion to?”
It was when Andre was in a hurry to call his escort.
“Your Majesty, how could I have broken through the Imperial guard and knocked on your chariot.”
“What have you done to my escorts?”
“Don't worry. They are safe. Neriadism has been the root of the empire for over a thousand years. Couldn’t we have planted people just because we were your escort?”
"This……!”
“However, there is a misunderstanding in your words.
"What?"
Ridalante's lips went up.
“Where is yours in this world? Every escort and every ornament in the room was borrowed from the Duke of Marche, His Majesty, or the Empress.”
Andre's expression darkened.
“Does a traitor dare despise me!”
Ridalante hurriedly waved his hands.
“Ah, don’t get me wrong. It's not that I despise Your Majesty, I just want to point out the situation and help you."
“…… Help?"
Ridalante said in a soft voice.
“Don’t you want to turn the world upside down where you have nothing to say?”
“…… What are you talking about?”
“Don’t you want to rule the world by kneeling at your feet those who look down on you?”
“Of course it will. I am the eldest son of the Emperor.”
“You can have the world in your hands as soon as possible. If we can help.”
“How?”
As Andre's voice lowered, Ridalante spoke in a more sinister voice.
“Didn’t you tell me? Neriadism has been the root of the Empire for over a thousand years, and there is no place in the Empire that is beyond our reach.”
“So what’s the alternative……!”
“We also have our people in the Emperor’s Palace.”
Andre's eyes widened. Ridalante smiled and continued.
“They are loyal people who don’t mind putting a drop or two of poison in the Emperor’s tea.”
“……”
“Sir, I will ask you. If His Majesty the Emperor falls, who will be regent?”
“……”
“Who is the world without Alexandre Ruerg?”
Andre licked his lips.
He closed his lips for a while and repeated the opening, muttering.
“I, the first prince……”
Andre's eyes flashed black with desire.

I sent the letter in the morning, but I got a reply right away in the afternoon.
After reading the reply, I looked serious and asked my three maids who had brought their coats.
“What are you doing?”
“Yeah, it’s nothing. Just preparing for war.”
Then Laura, who came after the three maids, said, "Isn't war all that bad?" ' and tilted her head, and Yuni, the youngest of the three maids, said, "Uh-huh!" raised her voice.
“If it’s not a big deal, then it’s not.”
Linda agreed.
“Yes, Laura.”
Dahlia nodded her head with a serious expression.
"Cancer."
I giggled and folded the letter because the three maids of LeBlaine's highest bodyguard for 13 years were grateful and funny.
“Thanks for the coat.”
Dahlia said, putting the coat over my shoulder.
“Where are you going out?”
“On the tower.”
“A horse tower?”
"Yeah, I'll ask for help in the war against the Temple, so keep the wizards safe."
“Leah, no, Sir Shabanol and Sir Zachari are you going as an escort?”
"No."
The three maids were startled and stopped me.
“Aren’t you going to go out without an escort?”
“In this country?!”
"Miss……”
Linda, Yuni, and Dahlia turned over in turn, and I raised my hands and said,
“You have to listen to the end. Today my escort is-”
"It's me."
Ishaq, who came in without knocking, said, putting his scabbard over his shoulder. Johan and Henry, who followed, grabbed Ishaq's neck at the same time.
“Knock first.”
"Please. Where are you going to use your manners?”
Shit, Ishak licked his tongue and said, “I see.” He said and beckoned to me.
“Let’s go, kid.”
"Huh."
It was going out for work, but it had been a long time since four brothers and sisters went out side by side.
‘It’s been two years.’
I felt like I was going on an outing, so I hummed and left the mansion.
We moved by wagon without using a moving train.
Unless the Temple goes crazy, without proper preparation, there is no chance of attacking a huge army of Dubleed brothers and sisters without preparation.
Above all, in preparation for a war with the temple, we decided to save as much as possible of long-distance movement.
Ishak rested his chin on the top of my head as I grinned while holding onto the window frame of the carriage.
“What made you so excited?”
“When the war is over, will we be able to go out this often?”
Henry, who was flipping through the newspaper, smiled.
"Okay. If it ends safely.”
John shook Ishak's head slightly and smiled.
“It will end safely.”
It's raining, but I don't like the smell of rain. It always felt good to hear the sound of rain next to people who could be relieved.
The carriage ran quickly and arrived at the horse tower.
I got off with the escorts of John and Henry, and Ishak entered the tower one step ahead of us.
It was when I quickly followed him through the door.
"What is this……”
Ishak murmured with his hardened face.
I hurriedly looked around.
The smell of blood vibrates.
There were thick blood all over the floor, and the corpses of wizards in red robes, the symbol of the tower, were lying around.
From the other side, you hear the sounds of toga, toga, and shoes.
Henri hurriedly opened the barrier, Johann embraced me, and Ishak drew out his sword.
“Not there.”
A blunt, but familiar and familiar voice.
It was Mina who appeared in the dark.
Blood splashed on pure white cheeks. His hands were also covered in blood.
Mina looked at my brothers with her pouty expression.
“It’s not there, it’s here. Really…… . I am sad!”
Then she looked at the three of them in turn and smiled.
“I came here because I thought I would miss you. John, Henry, and Ishaq all said that if they didn’t see me for three days, their eyes would get thorns.”
Ishak burst out laughing.
"Crazy……”
“Even if you are shy, you know everything. Even if you say it coldly, the truth is that you love me very much.”
Saying that, she smiled brightly without a trace.
