Just a Slight Scratch

I couldn’t stay in my place for even an hour, and I hovered around the chair. He clenched his fists, biting his nails.

Even with good medicine, my stomach did not calm down. Even though I tried to soothe my mouth with Miju, I couldn’t feel the taste properly. Prince Edmund was so nervous that he would pee if someone touched him.

treason. usurpation. To put it in the most pleasant words, succession to the throne with force.

That’s what he’s trying to do. There aren’t many opportunities to do this more than once in a lifetime.

Like all usurpers, Edmund was new to this experience. Actually, it was not easy to sit and wait for the result without doing anything.

Even if I stood still, my legs were trembling and my heart was racing at will. Even a small sound surprised me.

“If you do this, you will not be able to die by my name.”

Every time I heard the roaring sounds from all over the palace, it felt like my heart was pounding. I couldn’t quite figure out how things were going.

It is not his aides who are holding the ceremony, but his master, the shrine.

Edmund sighed. Unknowingly, he re-evaluated his half-sister, Ardein, who thought he was a war fanatic and ridiculed him in his heart.

It is something different from politics to wield a weapon without giving up on a battlefield where spears and swords go back and forth.

Ardain at least proved himself there. He wasn’t a mastermind, but he became an appendix. That alone proved to have courage.

I still remember when I close my eyes. A girl who was more promising than anyone else when she was still a child.

It’s a shameful story now, but at the time, he had admired this half-sister.

Even though it is a longing, in fact, when you come to see it now that you are an adult, it is nothing. At that age, children’s eyes twinkle just by showing their magical powers.

Everyone around him saw Ardein and said he was the pride of the royal family, so I thought it was natural at a young heart.

– Who are you?

When I had the opportunity to talk to my sister for the first time, the little boy was intrigued. As I was contemplating what to say, the voice I heard was cold.

– I think it’s good. Move.

I still remember. It was his ninth birthday.

Ardein also didn’t come voluntarily, but in any case, he was a guest who came to celebrate his birthday. Even if Ansuk attends this event, it is a place to share good wishes on the outside.

Behind the scenes, even if you peel pumpkin seeds at other places, if you accept the invitation and come to the party, they say congratulations on your birthday.

Even less so, if the opponent is a child, it goes beyond courtesy and is closer to common sense.

At that time, it was the first time the princess had treated this child so coldly. All the words I wanted to say didn’t come out of my mouth. I was so surprised that my foot didn’t fall off, and of course I couldn’t get out of it.

Match!

The girl took out a riding whip instead of a gift, and then… Well, there are some things in the world that you don’t want to remember. The prince did not want to think of it again.

Anyway, there is a line. Ardain didn’t wield a whip to kill him, and, in fact, didn’t even intend to inflict pain. It was just Vicky.

Even the girl was well aware that it would be difficult to keep up with a situation like this, where the same imperial family, perhaps the main character of the party, bleeds.

There was no such thing as wielding a whip with strong magical energy. The degree of pain was not different from being hit by a stick. Except for the red marks on his shoulder, his body was fine.

However, that single whip was enough to destroy the longing of the prince. Actually, it wasn’t anything unusual. At that time, Ardain was the same for everyone, even his older brother.

However, his brain was clever, and he managed to avoid lines worthy of disciplinary action. If Edmund had spilled any blood, he would have been given a sentence of probation, but if he didn’t, the Empress bowed her head and apologized.

No one paid any compensation for the ruined birthday party. The empress apologized on behalf of the prince for publicly disgraced him.

Maybe his sister remembers it now. It’s no wonder that when she fell ill, there was no one on her side in the imperial palace.

It’s not because of the prince’s craftsmanship. Before she could do anything behind the scenes, people fell from her side. The speed of dissolution was surprisingly fast even thinking about it now.

rattle.

But while I was immersed in old thoughts, the doorknob suddenly turned without knocking. The door opened, and armed temple knights rushed into the room. All of them had serious expressions on their faces.

“What happened?”

The prince’s expression became serious. It was not that the people of the Imperial Palace stole the clothes of the temple knights. Looking at those faces, they are all familiar faces.

That is, the people on our side came in. I thought that the omission of the knock would be that much of an emergency. The problem is, they may have been on the same side before, but not now.

“Lowering.”

One of the temple knights, whom he had often talked about, could not face Edmund and turned his head away. However, an individual’s good and bad luck cannot defeat the orders of superiors.

“I’m sorry, but you have to be arrested.”

right next door. A middle-aged man with a blunt expression sat down. It looked like it was staggering at first, but it wasn’t too noticeable.

Even he, who had lived an eventful life and had been trained by years of experience, could not hide his agitated expression. Tightly, he grabbed his left chest with his right hand.

It was painful, and it was painful.

If I could pull out my heart and reverse the situation, I really wanted to do it. One situation has reached this point, so that one’s life has no meaning.

“His Majesty the Bishop…”

The envoy who conveyed the will of the saint’s tail twitched.

The Archbishop of the Parish of Grantera has a high position within the school. There are also evaluations that even though the rank is lower than that of the cardinal of the country, the real power is rather greater.

But even that position was not enough to become a shield for now.

“Yeah. I think you should resign.”

“If that is the will of the saints and goddesses, I am willing to obey.”

The archbishop sighed. Things had already happened, and the three gods needed reconciliation with the imperial family. In order to bring the emperor back to the negotiating table, he had to offer reasonable conditions.

Halonen, Ariche, and Armata. The three archbishops, as general managers of this work, must be held accountable.

It’s such a big deal. It is impossible for anyone to pass without taking responsibility. If we just ignore this failure and move on, it becomes a precedent.

Above all, I had no intention of going well from the third week onwards. The three goddesses were also furious to the end.

Now that things have come to pass, he will have to give up his position as the archbishop of the parish and take over as the head of a secluded monastery somewhere, and he will have to live in a vineyard for the rest of his life.

“Duke Balder. He may have been right.”

The archbishop sighed and remembered a man. Still, Armata was a man of the kingdom, and there was no need to plead guilty with his life for failing.

It just ends up losing all of its position. It’s not him, but Prince Edmund who really has to lay his head.

“Let go of this! I need to meet the Archbishop! I need to see Archbishop Armata!”

The Archduke, who refused to come here with an excuse not to say that he was seriously ill, and lay down on the bed, was indeed an old-fashioned raccoon dog. It was really dangerous out of bed.

If he had directly participated in the event instead of resting on a soft bed, he would have been screaming in his arms. The sound coming from the room next door, the archbishop tried to ignore.

The people of the temple are in the process of arresting the three princes after receiving orders from a higher place than them. What will he say after that?

It’s already a board that can’t even cover itself. He had no way or reason to help the prince. Whether the prince cried out for betrayal or not, he quietly leaned his back against the backrest.

“Koo!”

Until you hear a scream like a pig’s crowing. He woke up to a sudden sound.

And, startled, he stepped back. He didn’t even care about the trivial thing of a chair falling over.

quack.

The envoy sent by the saint slowly fell down with her neck completely broken. It was staring at itself with its black wings spread from beyond.

How could he not know that? Archbishop Armata broke into a cold sweat. His back was already wet.

“Ultimate Chimera!”

An ominous and heterogeneous divine power that mixes with magical power. Armata, feeling the power of Oberta, jumped up. Fear disappeared from his eyes, and fierce anger erupted. The archbishop shouted.

“You have joined hands with the evil spirit! blasphemous!”

But even if he tried to deceive him with anger, he was afraid. He was really afraid. It wasn’t that Yanid’s power over there was afraid, but that everything he had pursued had returned to the evil of the doctrine.

Changing the emperor and the ultimate chimera work all returned with the worst results. In both cases, Armata held a large stake.

Tears flowed from both his eyes. Then, with a determined expression, he tied his hands together.

“This misty servant wants to consecrate his life to the goddess.”

The mistake he had committed was too great to be forgiven. Even if the goddess forgave, Armata could not forgive herself.

The other day, as Bishop Reenheim of Nemiism did in front of the Demon King, Armata held hands and dedicated herself to the goddess. It’s a self-sacrifice spell. Oberta muttered quietly.

– High priests of the Tritheism are always like that. Their lives are not important to them. Don’t be afraid to hit a rock with an egg, and break yourself.

Even if the eggs are thrown a little faster, they end up being eggs. Even if they rush to burn their own lives, they cannot reverse the fundamental difference in power.

Above all, the Archbishop is a man with little combat experience. That position is reached through faith and politics, not by being strong.

Quad Duck.

Yanid’s two hands dug into the archbishop’s shoulders full of divine power. The archbishop screamed at his fingers that had pierced the flesh and reached the bones. But he did not back down and continued to run.

The girl grunted and clenched her teeth. I wanted to see him scream in terror. But Armata didn’t seem to mind at all.

Puddy Duck!

Nails protruded from the embedded fingers. Both arms of the archbishop were amputated. Even if protected by divine power, human skin could not withstand the claws of a dragon.

Yet there is no fear in those eyes. It’s not that he doesn’t feel pain, the Archbishop just mumbled quietly.

“It’s just a little scratched.”

And now he kicked and ran. How many times had he ever kicked someone else with his foot? There were no arms anymore, so I couldn’t hold my center of gravity well.

The kick was rough. But it was desperate. The snoring girl grabbed the foot and nailed it, and now tore it off.

“It’s just a little torn.”

However, even with one leg left, he jumps without losing his fighting spirit. Now even the girl is tired of it.

What kind of guy do you mean? Even though he was an enemy, there was no way he could not deny his mental strength and tenacity.

However, Armata, who had been sticking together like melted cheese, could not reach Yanid and collapsed. His life was lost in an instant.

There was a smile on his fallen face. He died without shame, at least in his opinion.

There was no reason not to be dissatisfied, as he died calling out the goddess’s name against the goddess’s enemies. Yanid grinded his teeth and smashed the smiling face.

-Surely, I’m envious of this. Among the believers who serve me, there is no such person…

Even then, Oberta spoke to herself softly, watching the girl trembling with her anger. The faith of those who serve her is light, not heavy.

Most of the believers are in a fluid bed that can change the worshiping god as easily as a reed.

That’s Oberta’s concern, and the biggest reason she runs around. This is because the fixed support layer is close to the floor.

“Uh, what’s going on?!”

Hearing the commotion, a knight of the temple opened the door and came in, horrified to see the archbishop collapsed with blood everywhere and limbs severed. He wore pure white armor, but he was not a paladin.

temple knight. To put it bluntly, it is a rank similar to that of a regular priest. Of course, the skill level is just that. There was no way that Yanid could be an opponent. The girl’s eyes twinkled.

This resentment that the Archbishop could not resolve, obviously someone had to accept it. Others who served Helai became a pitiful target.

wide open. The girl spread her wings.

Now no one can escape.
