Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Reunion

okay. We really didn’t have time.

Everywhere he went, rumors were heard that His Majesty was going to die soon. Now, as if it were no secret or anything, the tales were heard from the market stalls during the day, and from all the inns at night.

Some drank and gambled over who the next great emperor would be. It seemed to me that the only people who really made money from the gamble were the gamblers.

“Of course, Prince Edmund will rise to the throne.”

“There are a lot of people betting on Edmund. Even if the odds are very low, would you like to try it?”

“The smaller the profit, the safer it is. Honestly, who else would ascend to the throne!”

The bellied man slammed his beer mug and shouted out loudly, not paying attention to the beer getting wet on his forehead.

“Even if you leave your money in the bank, those zarin gobi will receive a storage fee, but if you invest in something like this, it will increase even a little.”

The princess was so crowded right now that she couldn’t even listen to such a story. He seemed to be contemplating how to force the horses to feed them with hay to refresh themselves.

It is natural. Day and night, he instilled divine power into the horse to make him forget his fatigue, but he still had a long way to go to the island. Even that was possible because the Han-blooded horse was a famous horse among the famous horses that sprint through the forest path.

If it was a normal horse, he couldn’t even travel this distance in just a few days.

“Isn’t it too late…? Please tell me it’s not too late. If you really don’t arrive on time… then…”

I just nodded my head when I saw a face full of excellence.

“As soon as we get our spirits up, let’s start again. This time, I will be able to go straight to the island without taking a break.”

“I am an unfilial child who will never again be in the world.”

thud! The princess banged her head on the girder. Even to prevent the beams from collapsing and so many people being crushed on the falling roof, I had to dry the princess.

“Hey… I’m going to wash up the stirrer for a while.”

Rokado, who always likes to stick around with me, doesn’t stick around like before when I heard that the princess’s father was on the verge of passing away. Oddly enough, he did not express any dissatisfaction even though he was chasing sleep with divine power and marching.

Sometimes he looked at the princess with sad eyes. through the eyes of a sympathetic person.

What happened to Rocca’s parents and where they are now, I didn’t ask and neither did Rocca. However, it didn’t seem like they had an antagonism between their parents because they had a bad relationship.

Every time the word “father” came up, longing was welling up in Roca’s eyes. Longing for people I will never see again.

Before, before the princess even came to visit me, I had asked Roka if she wanted to go back to her hometown. Just by looking at the child’s rejection reaction at that time, one could guess what the child’s hometown had become. Perhaps, it was no longer found on the map.

Roca must have lost someone to depend on at a young age like me. That was also the reason why I fell in love with Loca. that’s me too

When the cannibal monster Manticore trampled my hometown, I also lost my parents. The Lord came to me, but this child couldn’t, so I take care of the Lord.

“Looking back now, I couldn’t properly give my father a present. The ceremonial gift I used to give on my birthday is all I’ve ever done. I even resented my father for such a topic! I used to get angry and run wild about why I chose my brother instead of me.”

So the mind, I understand. Before I could do anything, they left me so quickly. But it is still too early to offer consolation.

Nothing has been decided yet, and it is not too late to consider the worst case scenario. Obviously, the Princess will be able to reach her before Her Majesty’s death. For now, let’s believe so.

“Saint. Again… this time, you led this stupid bitch. If the Holy Father had not informed the Islands through Viscount Layton… If it had been, I would have arrived at the Islands by traveling around without even knowing that His Majesty was ill. If by some chance I had heard of the wealthy, it would have been too late by then.”

“Thank you, if you succeed in delaying your Majesty’s death, I will listen.”

After all, horses need time to refresh themselves, so I recommended that you go and wash your body and eat food to refresh yourself. And he handed a dirty pot to the princess.

“I know nothing of the imperial decrees, but Roka and I cannot go directly to the place where Your Majesty lies. Perhaps only the princess has the right to do that.”

One sanctuary beacon. One baptist’s water bottle. And one of the Firefly Crystals.

Just in case you don’t know, I also put a millstone for grinding salt, another of my powers. I didn’t know what would work, so I decided to give everything I could.

The beacon will be burning softly, so as long as the light hits it, even the firefly crystal will not be lost.

A bottle of holy water and a beacon that opens a sanctuary to illuminate a village. A millstone that produces fruits that reconstitute the body, and salt that expels ash and drives away evil spirits. If all four of these are ineffective, it means that even if I diagnose Your Majesty myself, nothing will change.

If your Majesty’s natural lifespan is over and it’s time to go, I can’t and can’t stop it by my own strength.

I just hope it’s not the case, but it’s not a problem for me or the princess, so it’s just a bit of a mess.

“You have to see the saint for yourself! Regarding procedures and laws, I…”

“You won’t even have time to argue like that. Listen carefully. First of all, the first thing you should do as soon as you arrive next to His Majesty is…”

*****

The first thing to take out is the beacon of the sanctuary.

Recalling Kyle’s words, Ardain put his hand into the jar.

Here are the wolves who bit themselves. The heinous Archbishop Armata and Archduke Balder, who pretended to be nice and smiled and changed their faces the moment they fell ill, were annoying opponents to Ardain.

But now it’s been good. I couldn’t afford to pay attention to people like that now!

“Stop. I need proof that you are really Ardain.”

However, although the princess was not interested in the Archbishop, Archbishop Armata was not.

He hurriedly stopped in front of the princess and spoke loudly.

“If you were a real princess, you shouldn’t have come here. Someone who has already been punished has come to this place to burn some injustice! But it can’t be. It is absurd that a person with leprosy would recover and return!”

Although the Archbishop had seen Ardein’s Dragon King’s flag, there were many things he would have heard of if he was in such a position.

This is the story of the remarkably similarity of the dragon horse ganggi of the famous mage Harmael, the dragon hyeong ganggi of the imperial family.

A master like Harmael would certainly be able to deceive others by temporarily changing the color of his magical power. It was natural to have doubts that Ardein, who was present here, had transformed into Harmael. In any case, from his point of view.

“archbishop! archbishop! What did you say to me when I fell ill? As a patient, they cursed and cursed. Because there is no land for me to die and be buried, my body must be burned, and even the ashes cannot be dedicated to the temple, and I will wander around the nine heavens forever!”

Right now, the emperor is on the verge of death, and the princess’s feelings when she sees the archbishop blocking her are almost on the verge of an explosion. If it hadn’t been for my father lying far away, he might have drawn his sword.

Now, instead of the sword, she drew something else. From a small jar called a shabby jar, he pulled out a brilliantly shining fireball.

Everyone who saw the fire was nervous, and Archbishop Armata reflexively covered his face. Because I thought the princess would throw that at her.

swish!

With the sound of the wind, Inyeong descended from the air next to the emperor and blocked the front of the princess, preparing a guard posture. Surprisingly, the old man had already reached the level of master.

When the nobles on the left saw the man, they broke into a cold sweat. they whispered to each other

“Who the hell are you…?”

“Is there an unpublished Master on the continent?”

Indeed, even if the rich collapse, the three generations will go. Even if the secret powers hidden by the imperial family were not strong enough to revive a declining country into a superpower, everyone had to admit that they still had the ability to surprise the world.

Although he was unwilling to reveal himself, the old man gladly showed up. Because I had to consider the possibility that a princess who had already reached the status of a master would throw that fireball at the emperor.

But then, a bright light was emitted from the beacon. The light was indescribably bright, but no one frowned or closed their eyes. It was bright, but not dazzling.

“You were not the only one who threw stones at me at that time, so I will not complain. However, I cannot forgive myself for even stopping me from wanting to see the rich man. Let only those who do not throw stones at me can stop me. Let’s see who the hell deserves to stand before me!”

The beacon of the sanctuary.

Not a power, but a miracle.

The crystal of holiness given down directly by God illuminates the world like the sun in broad daylight. He opened up the light, dispelled the darkness, and all who touched it became the object of mercy and grace.

The waist of the person who had a bent waist is straightened, and the indigestion of Archduke Balder, who was not feeling well, is relieved at once.

Archbishop Armata was bewildered by the amazing power and tried to block the light by creating a barrier with divine power, but the light passed through the barrier and reached him. The power of the God of Hope completely disregarded Helai’s divine power and permeated his body.

The hair is clear, and the wrinkles on the forehead are slightly smoothed out. He couldn’t open his mouth, he just moved his mouth as if he was about to say something.

“Hey, this is…”

“sister. What is this now?”

Prince Edmund cried out in indignation. His anger had a reason.

“If the Emperor was shocked, what would you do with this kind of fire? Don’t you think this light is too strong for Your Majesty?”

Of course, it was the reason to show it to others.

He himself feels the power of the beacon of the sanctuary, and does he not even know whether it is good for the body or not? But before the princess could open her mouth to respond, an old, aged voice stopped him. No, it all stopped.

“Stop it.”

A sack of borrowed barley that was out of everyone’s attention. But the most important person here.

The emperor opened his eyes before he knew it, and he was sitting hunched over with his back on the headboard of the bed.

Everyone gathered to watch this man close his eyes, but it was something no one would have thought of opening his eyes again.

So, the moment they saw the emperor open his eyes, the crowd was at a loss for words. Archbishop Armata’s eyes widened and he just stared blankly at the Emperor.

In fact, he had already opened his eyes from the moment the light of the beacon struck, but he was just silently observing the situation.

Not only Grand Duke Balder and his children, but also the nobles who were moving together in Daejeon. The emperor, who grasped every minute detail without missing a single expression, sighed inwardly.

Until he opened his mouth, no one in the room knew that the old man had opened his eyes. No one was interested in him, and he thought he was an old man who was about to die.

It was comforting to know that only the Empress knew that he had woken up, and that she was crying in her arms. Still, it seemed like he had a good marriage after living a difficult life.

His eyes wandered all over the place, and soon they were fixed on the princess.

Then his eyes melted warmly. He smiled softly and spread his arms.

“Ardain. my daughter Come here.”

“Your Majesty… Asin has just returned.”

Ardein almost collapsed, kneeling towards the emperor.

He beckoned the two masters who were reflexively trying to escort him. Then he looked around the crowd and opened his mouth.

“People in this place, is it okay if I ask you one thing?”

The emperor croaked and coughed. To some extent, his illness was due to the exhaustion of a thousand people, and even the beacon of the sanctuary did not completely restore him.

“Your Majesty’s recovery will be reduced! Whatever it is, give it an order.”

Archduke Balder was the first to kneel and open his mouth. Even the third Prince Edmund was terrified of the speed and attitude change.

When the 7th Prince, who had already hit his head and shed tears, saw his bewildered expression unable to leave his lips when the rich man woke up, he was afraid of his age.

“My daughter has returned to me. I think the goddess took the bottle off of this child and gave me a short time to face this child. I want to talk to this boy for a moment, so everyone, please leave for a moment.”

In the silence, people looked into each other’s eyes.

hey, what does this mean? Do you think His Majesty intends to make Ardein his successor?

Prince Edmund almost had convulsions in his face. His face trembled.

Unable to bear it, he burst into tears without knowing it. Why, why, why did the father favor his sister so much!

“your majesty!”

“Edmund. It’s not what you think it is.”

The emperor turned his head to look at his son. His gaze was neither warm nor cold. It was as if he did not know his own feelings, and his eyes were complicated.

“Jim has no intention of giving the throne to you or your sister.”

The moment our eyes met, my body trembled once, and the moment I heard everything, I trembled twice.

The Emperor has said this, what more can he do? Will you disobey the yellow name? Or should I even raise a rebellion in this place? don’t joke This is the island that is the center of the imperial domain.

Those who are loyal only to the emperor obey him until he dies. As long as the emperor wakes up and wakes up, his words are absolute, at least in this system.

If the imperial power has fallen enough to overwhelm the emperor by plotting with Grand Duke Balder, why would the prince aim for the position of emperor? I want to have it because there is still power there.

“Ashin, I will obey your orders.”

Edmund then surrendered and went outside. After everyone went to the battle, Ardein trembled and fell to his knees. The emperor sighed and ordered the guards around him to back down. Everyone was compelled to obey the command, but one old man was the exception.

As if he had not heard it, the old man still hadn’t left the Emperor’s side.

Even the emperor didn’t command him like that. just asked

“Mr Madeleine. You are working hard to protect an old man who will soon die. You too, take a break. I intend to speak with my daughter as a woman, not as a military god.”

“your majesty. But I must protect His Majesty’s safety.”

“Could you please leave for a moment?”

Instead of answering, the emperor simply smiled and invited. A man called Mr. Madeleine looked at the emperor and shook his head as if he couldn’t help it. He also quietly entered the battlefield.

Now, really, there are only two of us left. And only the beacon of the sanctuary, which was burning brightly, revealed the inside of Daejeon.
