No. 326
“How dare you-”
Just as Andre was muttering, the pope snapped LeBlaine's wrist! he pulled
Grasping her forearms with both his hands, the Pope began to shout and bit his mouth tightly.
“… … .”
“Go back to your room.”
LeBlaine looked at the Pope fiercely, but there was no answer, and the Pope's momentum was indescribably ferocious.
Andre brushed off his wrinkled collar and he raised his hand lightly.
“Ah, leave it alone. I have something to say-”
“Go back, Madame.”
It was an obvious disregard.
Andre looked at the Pope with his hardened face.
“Can’t you hear me?”
“Your Majesty, do not forget the oath that the saint's course will be in accordance with the decisions of the temple.
“It’s a name. Leaving the girl here, the pope prostrates and pleads guilty to disturbing the regent’s mind.”
“Lady.”
"Pope-!!"
The two men clashed sharply.
LeBlaine, who had her head bowed, no, Adrian's eyes darkened.
In fact, LeBlaine was not here.
It was Adrian who used the powers of AMY to create the appearance of LeBlaine here.
Hearing the news of LeBlain's escape, he remembered Myosu.
The Pope lost his temper when it came to LeBlaine, and Andre was a man with a strong sense of inferiority.
He pretended to be LeBlaine so that if she separated the two, he would be able to make time for the child to escape.
And the predictions were perfectly met, and the Pope and Andrew fought fiercely.
Adrian looked down at the back of his hand and clenched his teeth.
There was a wound on the back of the hand, like paint spreading.
There were no wounds like this on LeBlaine's body. This was the wound that Adrian received from the monster in the battle of the Inquisition.
It was a sign that his divine power was running out.
He has been using the power of the devil all day to act as a priest of the pope's assistant, so it's a natural result.
There is not much time left.
‘LeBlaine.’
* * *
As I ran down the underpass, I flinched and looked back.
'What?'
I just had a strange feeling.
I stopped walking involuntarily, tilted my head and looked behind me.
Come to think of it, the paladin's presence is not felt from a certain moment.
‘Are you sure you’re back?’
Why on earth were those who were chasing behind their backs?
I looked around the inside with a questionable gaze, and then turned my head.
This was not the price.
If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to get out of the Yeongyeong Shrine.
How much longer did it run? There was an exit that could fit at least one adult in front of me.
I held my hands tightly and prayed.
‘It’s good whether it’s Serga or a god from another world. Neriadra doesn't matter. So make sure no one is in front of this!’
The Pope will know the underpass of the temple. In the first place, it is a passageway between the popes and cardinals.
If you know that I escaped into the underpass, of course I'll have you guard this front.
Knowing that, I had no choice but to come this way because this was the only way for me to escape.
I closed my eyes and exited the exit.
And in front of me... … .
“… … There is no one.”
I looked around, rubbing my hands soaked in cold sweat on my collar.
The place I came out of was a river near the shopping district.
There were footprints all around the exit. Unique shape for adult men's sizes. It must be the paladin's walker.
‘I waited and returned.’
He didn't follow me, and he waited at the exit and then came back?
‘… … I can only see what happened to the temple.’
This would not have happened unless the Pope died suddenly after being punished.
In the end, there is only one answer left.
“Adrian… … .”
He must have helped me.
'You idiot.'
You might think Adrian is hiding it from me, but I know.
His divine power was getting weaker.
She often clearly saw blue veins bulging under his sleeves.
In that state, he would not be able to deal with the Pope, the paladin, and the cardinals who had obtained a powerful power that surpassed that of Mina.
‘Adrian may die.’
And that stupid man must have helped me, knowing I was going to die.
strength in my knees.
I sat down in front of the exit and the field exhaled.
That was then.
crumble.
A popping sound was heard.
I was burying my face in my lap and stiffened.
It was the moment when she clenched her fists and somehow pulled down the divine power.
“… … LeBlaine?”
When she looked up, she saw a tree.
"Oh My God!"
Tree screamed and ran towards me. A familiar face appeared behind her back. They were fellow beggars.
Come to think of it, the dormitory of my beggars that I ordered Seria to make was near a river.
The tree, who was running fast, was startled and grabbed me.
My behavior was a mess. My skin was scraped to and fro as I came out of the wall, my legs were swollen from being sprained from the stairs, and I was covered in dust from the underpass.
Tree took off her quick robe and draped it over my shoulder.
"What happened? Why are you here, huh?”
“Why aren’t you at the dormitory… … .”
“I came here because Max said there were paladins standing near the river. To inform Dubleed about the movement of the temple.”
“How is my house? family?”
When I inquired urgently, Max, who was among the beggars, said:
“Why don’t we go and talk first?”
Tree nodded her head.
“Yeah, it’s dangerous here.”
Tree put a deep hood on me and looked around.
I was worried that I might be seen by others while walking down the street, but Max helped me.
He put me in a wagon and said,
“Is this my uncle’s carriage?”
“A gangster?”
“Why is the noble girl digging up my insignificant personalities?”
I didn't buy the identity, I heard it from him in my past life, but I pretended not to know.
“Why are you helping me?”
“Emulyn and Tree are calling for help.”
“I used to torment them both like that.”
“Are you still in the mood to share a meal?”
Max chuckled and clicked his tongue. The tree said, “Come on, come on.” Hon came over with Max biting him.
“If you go to the mansion, there will be a letter left by my aunt.”
“Empress Cecilia?”
"Huh."
“Why didn’t you come in person… … .”
“My aunt… … She became a delinquent and was imprisoned in prison.”
Tree, whose face was blurred, bit her lip.
'Yvonne did she think the empress wouldn't let Cecilia go, but she already made her her queen?'
I bit my lip and looked at the tree.
“I’ll definitely save you.”
"believe."
“… … .”
“Le Blaine.”
Tree gently took my hand.
“You said you were not the child destined to save the world. But I think you are the savior.”
“… … What?"
“You always say you are evil and selfish, but at least to me the world was more beautiful when you were there.”
"It's embarrassing, but I like it," Tree said. She laughed hehehe. Then she closed the door of the wagon's luggage compartment.
The wagon departed. I looked out the window at the tree and my beggar comrades.
The wagon ran non-stop. Upon reaching Dubled, the people in white robes, not the knights of Dubbleed, came out of the checkpoint.
‘Paladin?’
Why is the paladin guarding the mansion?
The coachman gave the excuse of food as he had been told by Max.
Only after the carriage went inside did the people of Dubbleed come out.
“Did the butler order wheat? I've never heard of such-"
Dahlia and Yuni, who were opening the carriage with their curious voices, found me and were startled.
"Oh my gosh!"
“Oh, lady… … !”
The surroundings became noisy.
The servants rushed inside, and I took the two maids by the hand and got out of the carriage.
It was a dark night with no moonlight in sight. Only the mansion lamp lights the world.
I looked at the mansion I longed for and went into the courtyard with the support of two maids.
Upon entering, I saw Henri and Ishaq rushing towards the courtyard. Behind them, John came down the stairs.
I thought about it all the time I was in the temple.
Don't worry about your family anymore.
So I won't cry.
I won't cry.
I will never cry
I made that decision, but from the moment I saw the faces of my brothers, my eyes got hot.
Because I'm too skinny.
It's only been three weeks since I disappeared, but all three of them are still white as dead bodies.
Ishak, who was always cheerful, was so quiet. Ishak walked over to me without expression and gently stroked my cheek.
“This is not a dream.”
“… … .”
“It’s not a dream, bro.”
As soon as Ishak hugged me as if to confirm the warmth, tears eventually burst out.
I cried and grabbed Ishak's collar tightly.
finally came back
could come back
home of your dreams.
* * *
I rubbed my bright red eyes and sat down on the sofa in the study.
Henri handed me a glass of water and asked.
"What happened?"
“Adrian made me escape.”
Ishaq clicked his tongue.
“When I asked where he disappeared, was he in the temple?”
“Adrian is gone?”
“From the moment Andre was decided as regent, he disappeared. That crazy guy must have known that the second prince, who was like a thorn in his eyes, could not be left alone.”
“Didn’t you hear from Dubleed at all?”
“It seems that I often corresponded with my eldest brother. He told me that you were awake.”
Looking at John, he nodded his head as if in agreement with Ishak.
I said, “That’s right… … .” She nodded her head and took a deep breath.
“But what about Dad?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The brothers exchanged glances without answering.
For a moment, she became anxious and grabbed John and asked.
“Daddy!”
“… … Our father is in the Imperial Palace.”
“Why is he in the Imperial Palace? surely… … .”
On behalf of Johann, Ishak spoke as if chewing.
“Andre, what the bastard did as soon as he became regent was our father's ban. On the day you were kidnapped, a detention order was issued, and we lost our father because we were not in a good mood due to the battle with the temple.”
“Is Daddy okay?”
“… … He didn't die."
“What does that mean?”
“… … .”
“Ishak!”
“You have been tormented the whole time. A few days ago, for some reason, the Pope himself told him to stop suffering, and he barely saved his life.”
‘Did you mean to stop the pressure on your family?’
It was probably because of me that my family couldn't rescue my father. I must have been unable to move quickly because I was in the hands of the temple.
I twisted the hem of my clothes tight.
'Pope… … Pope!'
Henri bent one knee in front of me and said.
“Now that you are back, all you have to do is rescue our father. Let's go back to the estate and plan the next thing.
"no. I will not back down.”
"what?"
“Did you forget my nickname?”
I twisted my lips and continued.
“You have to be smart about what happens if you touch a crazy dog.”
Now I'm not going back and forth.
I was going to face wrath with ruthlessness and negativity with negativity.
like a villain
“This time it’s my turn.”
Let's go get revenge.
