64 – roles

“Are you calming down now?”

“I didn’t like it from the beginning. Because he looks like Sannim.”

After Lian left the Order, Allegri went straight back to his office.

Hatoon, who took over Scarlett from Lian, calmed Scarlett who was about to run away at any moment for nearly an hour.

Scarlett, who still sighed in a ripped nun’s uniform as if she had won in anger, seemed a bit distant from the nun who was a symbol of goodness.

Her dark red hair quivered.

Losing and being teased by an aristocrat she hadn’t seen before played a part in her being so impatient, but more than anything else, it was Allegri.

―That’s why I’m offering Miss Scarlett.

When he was captured by Lian, Allegri abandoned her without a second thought.

Maybe it was a word to break it in the situation where the positions of A and B were about to reverse,

Or maybe he said that because he didn’t really need her.

Allegri’s faithful right-hand man, Hatun, told her that he didn’t mean it and made an excuse that wasn’t an excuse.

Whatever it is, it is true that Scarlett’s pride has collapsed.

“The Patriarch must have had an idea. Please don’t be too angry.”

That’s why Hatun tried to offer words of comfort instead of consolation, but there was no way it would work.

Scarlett nervously retrieved her saber sword and headed for Allegri’s office.

“The Patriarch is on duty now—”

“I know too, so get out of the way, bastard.”

“You know that interfering with the bishop’s work is taboo even within the church.”

“her.”

Scarlett was dumbfounded and clicked her tongue involuntarily.

I was amazed at the faith of the man in front of me.

Unlike her, who was just a wandering archie, Hatun had a devout faith from the time he joined.

On the other hand, although I had known him for many years, I still had no faith in Scarlett.

Seeing Hatoon, who had become a devout believer as well as Allegri’s faithful subordinate, Scarlett laughed involuntarily.

“If you go any further, I will stop you by force.”

When I reached the second floor where the office was located, I heard Hatun’s cool voice.

Scarlett’s legs, which did not know how to stop at that, stopped.

“You must be a devout believer, yes.”

“As I said before, I understand your feelings well. Because I also lost to him.”

“At least you’re not a discard card.”

“It was unavoidable in that situation, don’t you know? He subdued us with only magic without drawing a sword. It was a situation where even the Patriarch could be in danger.”

In a situation where a large number of personnel were dispatched to the outskirts for regional expansion, only the escort Scarlett and Shindo Hatoon could protect their leader.

In such a situation, he could have put the highest leader of the church at risk.

It was big that I underestimated the ability of a man named Lian.

It was not enough to compete with Hatun without pulling out a sword, so the flexibility and flexibility to let all of Scarlett’s attacks flow.

Even the magic that was shown briefly, taking very lightly the blow of Hatoon, who was one of the top ranks in the church with simple skills.

He is a very talented person who cannot be regarded as an academy student.

Another thing that was certain was that they hadn’t been sincere with them.

He finally succeeded in overpowering Scarlett and Hatoon without drawing his sword.

It was impossible for two grown-up men and women who belonged to considerable talent to lose to a student who had just become an adult.

No matter how outstanding the academy students were, losing to a freshman student would have shattered their pride.

Neither Scarlett nor Hatoon said much about Lian’s skills.

“This is also our mistake in considering him a mere student. If he had been serious about it, neither one of us, or even both of us, would have been all right.”

At Hatoon’s words, Scarlett recalled the time Lian subdued her.

Scarlett was confident in her close combat, but she was easily overpowered by Lian before she could do anything.

The fight with Lian was the moment when she felt helpless as she had no rival in the church, and it was also the moment she felt ashamed for the first time.

The moment when I had to feel humiliated while lying face down on the floor with both hands tied by a man much younger than me in a situation where I couldn’t do anything.

The moment when his hands grazed his hips, which made him feel goosebumps all over his body.

Remembering the moment she heard the insulting words from him, Scarlett gently bit her lip.

I was angry, but Hatun was right.

The gray-haired man was superior to them and did not really fight.

If he had pulled out his sword and put his heart into it, they probably wouldn’t be here.

“The way he was not taken aback even though he had experienced the magic of transfer for the first time and kept a calm attitude throughout the fight was not suitable for his age. He looked more like a finished knight than a student.”

Seeing that Hatun, who usually showed no interest in others, spoke this much, you can see that the man’s skills were not simply luck.

Scarlett, frowning, turned around and went downstairs again.

Her personality didn’t let her go through this.

Since Allegri didn’t say anything else, it’s okay to take personal action.

“Where are you going?”

Ignoring Hatun’s words coming from behind, Scarlett headed for her room in the nun’s quarters with her dark red hair flying.

Office of the Patriarch on the second floor of the building.

A simple black desk and a wooden chair in front of it.

Allegri was sitting there, staring at the crystal ball on the desk.

“As you said, he’s a tough guy.”

office with no one in it.

Allegri might look like he was muttering to himself, but he was talking to someone invisible.

The crystal orb, which glowed whenever Allegri’s hand touched it, was a magic tool that allowed mana to communicate with a distant opponent.

It was an ambitious work recently released by prominent magic researchers in the capital.

It’s still in the testing phase, so only a few people had it, but it’s an invention of the Empire that will be distributed to many people soon.

Allegri, as the head of the Order, also received this and was helping with the test maneuver.

“Didn’t I tell you? If you ignore it because you are a student, you will be in big trouble.”

A soft voice behind the crystal ball snarled at Allegri.

“I have never been ignored. Ignoring it must have been done by others.”

“Did someone like that give away the test subject?”

“They are just insurance for the saintess. As long as the saintess is already complete, she is still one.”

There was no resentment on Allegri’s face.

The elites of the church were defeated by a saint who appeared after a long time and a student who volunteered to be her guardian.

No matter how much others are away, it is Hatun and Scarlet who have the best skills in the church.

The fact that they only lost to an academy student was something that could cause shock and confusion.

But Allegri’s expression was calm as usual.

He pointed it out as if he had noticed the existence beyond the crystal ball.

“But are you okay? The church was almost overthrown in an instant.”

The guard station collapsed and the patriarch’s safety was in danger.

If Lian Altairn had shown a cruel personality as rumored, he might have been the head of the Order.

“In case of emergency, the emergency warhead was in operation. Had he pounced, the body would have escaped. However, it is fortunate that he is more rational than I thought.”

A count who can’t even properly manage his own territory.

Rumors about the Altane family are bad enough that there are rumors that even their temperament is nasty and they abuse and assault their employees on a daily basis.

That’s why Allegri had once scanned Elaine’s body when Elaine and Lian first came to visit.

If the rumors are true, there must have been scars on Elaine’s white body.

“So, what are you going to do?”

The crystal ball’s existence asked Allegri.

This wasn’t just about the Mercian Church’s actions, but about the existence of Lian.

Lian Altane, who claims to be the guardian of the saint.

Despite being a student who had just entered the academy, being possessed of considerable force was sure to become an obstacle in bringing the saint of the church in the future.

Allegri nodded and agreed.

“The Phrygia Academy can be seen as the most prestigious academy of the empire in name and reality. If you go there for two years, that man will surely become stronger than he is now.”

The academy’s nurturing ability, which has produced countless heroes, is a proven fact.

If Lian, who has outstanding potential, meets the academy’s training system, he could become a truly untouchable existence.

“That’s why your help is more important than anything else.”

Then it should be cut down before it becomes a big tree.

At Allegri’s words, the voice behind the crystal ball laughed.

“hahahaha. me?”

“He knows the name Hellas.”

“… I beg your pardon?”

There was not an inch of lightness in the man’s voice, which had been lowered in an instant.

“Hellas is still a name known only to a few people, including you and me. But if a man I’ve never seen in my life knows the word, maybe our in-laws are—”

“Nope. That’s probably not it.”

Allegri’s words stopped midway at the resolute man’s words.

He asked with an incomprehensible expression.

“Why? Someone knows something that only we know. That would of course mean there is a spy.”

“He will know. You just have to know. Thank you, Patriarch. This makes it clear.”

As if he couldn’t hold back his laughter, the man’s voice was full of laughter.

Being such an eccentric man, Allegri didn’t care too much.

Since he wouldn’t tell me anyway, Allegri wanted to leave as soon as possible.

“Anyway, the recovery of the saintess and her treatment will be completed in the near future.”

sniffling-

Allegri continued, sipping tea while looking at the crystal ball, which had become quiet before he knew it.

“Your role will be more important than anything else. Siegfried.”
