Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Frozen Tears

As in any city,

There was also an inn in Larpentia that could provide both lodging and meals.

Among them, the most famous inn is the Brown Inn, run by a man named Carmel Brown.

In addition to the miscellaneous porridge that anyone staying can eat for free, grilled thrush was very popular. Of course, thrush wasn’t free.

Anyway, word of mouth spread, and it became a place where people leaving long distances, such as the boss or the coachman, usually stay when they come to this town. The princess also set foot here.

“So I’m at Fibron…”

“Hey, master. Bring me what I always eat for three people.”

“The catfish in that oven over there looks delicious, I order one with cheese.”

Laughter, conversation, and joy echoed everywhere.

As is usual for those who go on a long trip, the greedy men set up a table and got drunk and talked. It was only natural that they sat around the fire pit.

“What would you like to do?”

The fire is a little far away, a place where people are not crowded.

The waitress approached the princess who was sitting there.

“I ask for food and lodging.”

“Then you have come to the right place. There is no other expert in the field like us in this town.”

Mr. Carmel Brown is a personality. It is common to donate food to the poor under the excuse of making too much food. He is always friendly to both the staff and customers, and he has never overpaid his salary.

One employee is proud of the Brown Inn,

It is simply because he is paid more than employees in the same industry and is treated well.

At this, the princess put down a silver coin and said,

“The room is the cheapest. Food is one of the quickest stews.”

Being able to pick up a chunk of meat and chew it up when it’s hungry,

This is something that health and digestive ability can support.

If you don’t chew even bread slowly and firmly, it becomes a burden on your body.

Ordering the hot stew was, in a sense, an unavoidable choice.

“Yes, then…”

The waitress took the order and was about to pick up the silver coins, and only then saw the princess’s mask.

No one wears a mask because it’s cold, but even if the wind blowing into your face is cold and you wear a mask, you have to take it off if you come in. But it doesn’t.

The employee’s expression did not change, but the light in his eyes changed from moment to moment.

“I know it’s rude, but sir. Could you please take off the mask?”

“Do I have to take it off? Isn’t that the face you want to see?”

“If a criminal enters the inn with his identity hidden, it may be the dishonor of the inn. It’s the customer’s heart to refuse, but if that’s the case, then you should leave.”

Like it, pretending not

A few eyes turned to the princess. The princess hid her tension and fired.

“I didn’t say I wasn’t going to pay, but I said I’d give you an advance payment, so you want me to leave?”

“Just as our guests are free to choose the inn, we are also free to choose their guests.”

As the waiter was about to open his mouth, Mr. Carmel Brown, who was receiving the porters from afar, trotted over and said: He nodded to the employee and opened his mouth.

“The reason why our inn is called the best in town and has a lot of regular customers is, firstly, because of the good facilities, and secondly, because the quality of the food is good. Third, accidents do not happen. Because people who are likely to have an accident are letting go even if they give up their immediate profits.”

He wanted to continue the accident-free operation,

I didn’t want to introduce any possibility that could cause trouble to the inn.

“Just show your face once and that’s it. If we openly suspect a guest, we will provide meals and lodging for free. I’ll give you the best room for one night, will you cooperate?”

Mr. Carmel Brown was wary of any wanted criminals or criminals sneaking into the inn.

He was truly a model citizen. Of course, the princess was not a wanted criminal or criminal.

But looking at their faces, they were more terrifying than any of them. Of course, I couldn’t take the mask off.

Carmel’s eyes narrowed as she hesitated.

“Please leave.”

Without further ado, he gave a congratulatory order.

“Or I will call the guards.”

“You don’t send tired and lonely guests recklessly, are you saying that you are going to run a long way and leave without even giving food to the tired customers?”

“You’re right, but I’m the one who needs to think of more guests.”

Carmel exclaimed resolutely.

“I can’t accept a suspicious person like you. Please take off your mask or leave.”

The princess trembled with disgrace. But I couldn’t even say that Carmel’s actions were wrong.

As proof of that, none of the gazes on her were sympathetic. Everyone thought the innkeeper’s judgment was reasonable. If that woman were to be a political prisoner by the end of the day, the sparks would spread even to those who ate and drank at the same inn.

When soldiers catch them and start an investigation, even if they are not caught and punished, the time they should have spent on their livelihood is wasted in the investigation. No one, not even Carmel, wants such a situation.

In fact, if you are not embarrassed, it is enough to take off the mask. Everyone thought so.

So what can the princess say?

‘I am Ardain von Illumina.’

I want to reveal the identity of the imperial family, but

It’s pointless though. Leprosy is a curse from God, a wrath from heaven.

The disease that divine power could not cure was called that. It was even more so, because the rotting of the whole body really looked like a curse from God.

If you get this disease, even the princess will not be treated like a princess,

Nobles were also immediately quarantined and had to live in a steeple for the rest of their lives.

Even the denominations of the continent, including the Three Gods, are not willing to help. They think it’s because people with leprosy have done a lot of bad things to get God’s wrath.

If this is revealed, being kicked out is just aegyo.

In the end, the princess had no choice but to slowly stand up and leave the inn door. Carmel Brown shut her mouth tight.

That expression was really serious. He called the waiter earlier, wrote something and gave it to him.

“Go to the city hall and find out. Tell Police Inspector Frankton by my name that a suspicious person has appeared, and tell her to follow her. If you look at it, it’s a foreigner, but if you cause trouble, it’s already too late.”

He was truly a model citizen, and when he saw a suspicious person, he immediately reported it.

The people in the inn were also chatting. That woman just looked suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Rumors spread throughout the city faster than a running horse. Carmel has lived in this town for a long time and has a wide network of people, so he has a good reputation among people in the same industry. Rumors spread that he had kicked out a suspicious person. It was before the princess even found the next inn.

“welcome. Guest, what do you eat… It’s you! The man who was kicked out of Mr. Carmel’s inn!”

A model citizen, Carmel, had an employee go around the inn to tell him what he had been through.

It was pointed out that we must respond jointly. Naturally, the owner of the next inn recognized the rumored masked woman. He also asked to take off the mask, and the princess had no choice but to come out quietly.

“There, stop. There will be a checkpoint for a while. Take that mask off. Otherwise, I will bring you in and investigate.”

The soldiers who were following the princess, ordered by Inspector Frankton, stopped her.

Because anyone can see it. Apart from being kicked out of one inn, he was kicked out from the second inn for the same reason. It was reasonable to assume that there was a reason why the mask could not be removed.

“Is it an affair…? What sin have I committed?”

As shame and anger erupted one after another, not once, the princess lost her mind.

He even spit out sounds he wouldn’t normally make.

“Do you even know who I am! How dare you guys…”

“It doesn’t matter who you are. Our mission is to protect our homeland.”

But the moment he heard the guard’s words, his anger was quenched.

“I can’t let a suspicious person like you keep walking around. So please take off your mask. We don’t want to take you and detain you for doing nothing.”

“Citizens are uneasy about the fact that suspicious strangers are roaming around. We didn’t come here for no reason. If you don’t take off the mask, you’ll have no choice but to take him to headquarters and investigate.”

The princess was silent. It was sad, it was sad, it was sad.

But there was no way out.

Because I knew that those who vomited their anger at them were meaningless.

She just smiled like a madman. laughed and laughed again. lamented and laughed.

“What’s up…?”

“Someone suspicious. The guards are checking.”

“You are doing a very good job.”

Thousands of people watched her,

None of them were on her side.

“I can’t help it. I will handcuff you and take you to headquarters.”

“Just arrested… huh!”

The guard, who grabbed his arm to be handcuffed, retreated as if slashing his buttocks.

His face was full of surprise. It wasn’t enough to let go of his arm right away, so he took a step back and backed away. A fellow guard was surprised at this and asked.

“what’s the matter? Where are you sick?”

“Hey, hey, this girl… her arms are soft. Written, soft like rotten meat. what, what, what, what Everyone, back off! You don’t look like a human.”

“What the hell! Maybe an undead?”

Hearing this, the other guards swung their spears and ripped off the princess’s mask.

The sound of breathing breaks the silence. people pointed

There were people who were so shocked that they were speechless. The guard, who grabbed the princess’s arm, washed his hands again and again with water as if he had touched dirt even though he had touched it with a piece of clothing in between.

“Mu, mu, mundida! A leper has appeared!”

“Hide the child! I’m going to try to skip the liver!”

“Monster, get out of our city!”

puck.

A dagger flew and hit her back. The princess fell and vomited blood.

One threw a stone and everyone picked it up. When I tried to throw, the guards sanctioned me.

“Calm down, everyone. Calm down. If the lepers die here, we may be cursed too. Everyone go home, lock the door and don’t look outside. We will also close our headquarters and rest for the day. If this woman doesn’t give me food or water, I’ll go somewhere else. Let’s wait until then.”

People think that a leper is a person cursed by God.

It was natural to think that the blood had a curse in it. There was even a legend that if the blood shed by a leper fell on the field, the crop would be ruined for a year.

Everyone quickly realized that and put down the stones.

The crowd dispersed like mist. The street became quiet in an instant.

In the quiet city, only she and the guards were left. It was then that the princess realized that she had been thinking wrong. Now I really know what the world thinks of lepers.

When she was in the Imperial Palace, she thought she had fallen,

It was just a muffled babble without knowing the hell.

Beneath the floor, hell awaited.

“for a moment. Now I have no strength and I am hungry.”

I’m glad the tears are dry. Because I don’t have to see tears.

With that in mind, the princess ejaculated to the guard.

“I’m fine with taking me away, so will you just give me a bed? It’s okay to sleep in prison.”

“The place we work is a police station, not Mundi Lair.”

The guards coldly refused.

“Even if you are caught committing a crime, you will not go to jail. My co-workers will come with a lasso, hang it around your neck, sum it up, and cremate your body and set it on fire. So don’t commit crimes.”

The princess, who was really left alone, was just lying face down.

I didn’t even feel my body getting cold. Because my heart is already frozen.

Really, I’m glad my tears dried up. she thought so,

A stream of tears ran down his cheeks and froze to form ice cubes.

I just can’t feel my cheeks anymore,

I didn’t even know the tears were flowing.
