A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 45 – The proud three

Those who worship the Goddess of Sacred Light and those who worship the Goddess of Justice were originally two separate sects.

However, I don’t know exactly when, but when these two churches merged into one, a new church was born.

This was the ‘Church of Light and Justice’.

The Church of Light and Justice could be described as a so-called ‘super large church’, a combination of two mega-churches, the Church of the Holy Goddess of Light and the Church of the Goddess of Justice.

Of course, the influence of these two denominations was great enough to reach across the continent.

There were many people who looked favorably toward the Church of Light and Justice, which helps those in need through external poor relief projects.

Thanks to those who voluntarily donated money to help with their relief efforts, the Church of Light and Justice was able to further expand its influence.

In fact, the influence of the Church of Light and Justice was strong in most countries except for the two great powers, the Bregern Empire and the El Pario Empire.

As such, the Church of Light and Justice exercised its influence as the only denomination in fact, so when people said ‘church’, most of them meant the Church of Light and Justice.

Also, if there is one thing that distinguishes the Church of Light and Justice from churches that serve other gods, it is that there is no priest of the rank of ‘Pope’.

If other denominations have a structure in which they elect one of several archbishops as the “Pope,” The denomination of light and justice had a “Son” And a “Saint” Above the archbishop.

Saints and saints were not selected by archbishops, but by the goddesses of both denominations who directly selected those with qualifications.

Then the temple knights belonging to the church went to find the saint and the saintess and brought them back.

Now, the saint and the saintess come to the temple and perform a sacred ceremony to connect with each goddess through several priests.

After passing the ceremony, which took about a month or more, the perfect representative of the Goddess and a person of unrestricted power within the church was born.

They are the representatives of the Goddess, and their words and actions were the words and actions of the Goddess.

And now, the saint and the saintess, who had come a long way from the Great Temple of the Church of Light and Justice, came to the imperial palace of the Bregern Empire.

“May the world be filled with light and justice. Saints and saints of the Church of Light and Justice. It’s been a long time since I’ve come a long way.”

Antonio was welcoming the saint and the saintess in the throne room.

However, the emperor used honorifics for saints and saints.

Simply in terms of status, it is correct that the emperor treats them favorably, but since they are in a position equal to that of the pope who leads a religious order, they naturally had no choice but to respect them.

“May the brilliant sunlight soar like an eagle. Emperor of the Breggern Empire. She has come here to resolve her deepest concerns in you.”

Saints and saints were likewise respectful to Antonio.

If Antonio was a believer of the Order, he would not have worshiped the Goddess of the Order, so he had to respect the saints and women who were regarded as the representatives of the Goddess.

“I have been waiting for you to come. Even so, I was full of anxiety, so I was waiting for my throat to drain.”

Antonio’s words could be seen as eagerly anticipating their coming.

However, the essence of his words was as follows.

‘Why did you come so late, you guys. I will die of old age waiting for you guys to come.’

In other words, he indirectly blamed them for their late arrival.

“There are still many people in the world who long for light and justice. I think the emperor of the Bregern Empire knows that too.”

Of course, the saint and the saintess were not pushed back by words, just like the representatives of the goddess.

‘I was late because I was looking for children who lacked discipline. Oh, let’s not do this with people who know the situation?’

As Antonio said, they were also secretly hiding their true intentions and casting turns.

Antonio, who heard the saint and the saintess’ answer, maintained a solemn expression, but inside he was angry.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s lived in the position of emperor for a long time, or because he survived the political scene of succession to the throne.

However, the only thing he knew for sure was that the saint and the saintess were sarcastic.

Antonio still maintained a solemn expression as he looked at the saint and the saintess and opened his mouth.

“Heh heh heh. Deserve it. Since the church is so big and strong, aren’t there a lot of people who naturally need to take care of it? Then there will be people who go astray.”

‘So, who told you to grow in size at random without any countermeasures? It’s because it’s so big that it can’t be managed. That’s why there will be kids who will react to your words.’

Antonio pointed out the appearance of the church, which is currently generating noise from below.

In fact, one of the reasons the saint and the saintess came late was that they spent their time dealing with some priests who harbored impure thoughts.

In other words, it was Antonio’s true intention to not care about others and to treat you well.

“Ho-ho-ho. It is truly an honor that the emperor of the mighty Bregern Empire would say such a thing. Just like the reputation of the Royal Academy in the world, the Emperor is truly brilliant.”

‘You are doing well. The reputation of the academy you run is sh*t, so what are you saying to someone? Take care of yourself first.’

It was the saintess who uttered the words to counter it.

She was sarcastic, citing how the public perceives the Royal Academy as an example.

The reputation of the Royal Academy was only the disgrace of losing three years in a row in a friendly against Noble Academy.

The saintess correctly pointed out that point.

The academy was not able to run properly, so why was it meddling in other people’s household chores?

Indeed, the fierce battle continued without losing a single word.

“There are so many talents in our Royal Academy. Each of them is comparable to the reputation of the heroes of old.”

‘Because my kids are great? Are you good at it? There are many old heroic families in our empire, right?’

Antonio tried to bring up Alberto’s story, but he held back.

It was because there was a high possibility that the church would arrest him and investigate him if he brought up the story of Alberto in the already uneasy situation.

It was for this reason that he dared to mention heroes.

We were a country with a lot of bloodlines of great heroes, so we shouldn’t ignore them.

“There are many talented people who can be compared to old heroes. I’m really glad. Talent is, from ancient times, related to the future of the country, isn’t it? I hope that the talents of the academy will grow well.”

‘I’m talking about old heroes, but the talented people at the academy must be excellent. How can such children lead the empire? Grow well I try.’

On top of that, the saint began to sarcastically say that he was talking about an old-fashioned hero.

“A hero is not made from scratch. Over time, a hero emerges from among those who gain experience. I will remember well the good words of the saint and the saintess.”

‘If you do well from the beginning, is that a hero or a created monster? Aren’t you the monster you created? When you have time to give advice to others, do your best.’

And upon hearing that, Antonio sarcastically mocked the saint and the saintess.

The saints and saints did not become saints and saints by building their faith over a long period of time, but they were made through rituals.

Actually, this was also the weakness of the saint and the saintess.

Because they did not become saints and saints as a reward for serving the church for a long time, but because the two goddesses chose qualified people and created them as saints and saints.

In other words, if she wasn’t a goddess, if she was nothing in the first place, then she was talking about not blaming the kids for their hard work.

“Thank you. I am just saying this in the hope that my country will do well.”

‘We do it ourselves. You care about your country.’

Aside from that, the saint, who didn’t have anything to say in response, just tried to laugh it off.

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

“Ho-ho-ho.”

There was a really awkward laugh and silence lingered in the audience.

It was Antonio who broke the silence first.

From noble mtl dot com.

“I’ll start with the main point. Because you arrived too late, the body of Lordren, whom I mentioned for investigation, has disappeared. Therefore, she may return as no further investigation is necessary.”

Antonio mentions that Rodren’s body is gone, and she says outright that she doesn’t need the saint and the saintess anymore.

In the first place, Antonio summoned the two to conclusively prove that Lord Ren received power from her evil spirit.

However, as long as Rodren’s body disappeared, the saint and the saintess were nothing but grievances.

“If the body disappeared, does that mean that the palace security is poor?”

When the saintess said that Lord Ren’s body had disappeared, she openly threw sarcasm at the emperor.

I was asking if it disappeared because you guys couldn’t manage it.

“The security of the imperial palace was impregnable, and there are people watching over it all day long. However, reports have come in that it has disappeared like smoke, like the body of a demon disappearing.”

“Is that so? Then I will have to go there myself. I don’t know if there will be any traces left.”

In the end, the saintess and the saint declared that they would see the place with their own eyes.

“That’s good. I will guide you directly. Follow me.”

Antonio said that he would personally guide the two of them, and he led the way.

The saintess and the saint followed Antonio down the stairs and were gradually entering the basement.

And after walking down a certain distance, a huge golden door appeared in front of the three of them.

“This is a space where outsiders are not allowed to enter. The two of them are a saint and a saint, so I will make it public.”

Antonio raised his right hand and placed the ring on the golden door, and light emanated from the ring and the golden door slowly opened.

And then, when the golden door was fully opened, what greeted the three was the hundreds of layers of barriers that perfectly sealed the place where Lordren’s body had been, and the empty altar inside the barrier.

Really, just like Antonio said, Rodren’s body had disappeared without a trace.

“Can you believe me now?”

There was a lot in Antonio’s words, and only then did the saint and the saintess see the inside of the barrier and realize the seriousness of this matter.

Because, in the eyes of the two of them, they could see that the energy of the evil spirit was trapped in the barrier and could not come out.

“Damn it.”

As if representing everyone’s feelings, the slang words from the saint’s mouth only resonated in the underground cavity.
