I Became the illegitimate son of a duke

80 – University (6)

“Please, please… Save me, save me… Please…”

“…Sorry, you have to die so others can live.”

A soldier begging for mercy is cut to death by the janitor who was managing them.

The soldier, who made the sound of boiling blood bubbles from his neck, collapsed on the ground and swayed for a while, but soon lost all movement.

‘This is the best.’

I could have saved him somehow if I hadn’t put a limb in the report… Damn it.

If only the two of us had reported that His Majesty and the prisoner had met at night, nothing would have happened, but why did he say such things as [The look in his eyes was strange] And [The atmosphere was unusual]?

Because of those reports, Ines suffered from the confirmation bias that the majesty and the prisoner were having an affair. There’s not too much information, so I’m going to ignore my words to watch for a while.

‘It wasn’t true after all.’

Realizing that nothing had happened between you and the prisoner, Ines was furious and ordered that all those who spread the rumors be shot.

It was only after using all means to stop Ines-sama that we managed to reduce the number of victims to two.

Sure… He’s been serving you for a long time, but it would be nice if you kill his personality a bit more.

“Did everyone see it?”

“Yes, yes…!”

“If you don’t want to end up like this, don’t include any qualms when reporting in the future. We’re only reporting objective facts. Okay?”

“Okay!!”

The fate of these children is very strange. If the way to make a living was bleak, you should have looked for other work, whether it was serfdom or manual labor, rather than coming here.

Your origin is uncertain, your parents are humble, and you have no property. Truly, he was the best chess piece, relying on Ines-sama for all his food, clothing, and shelter, and killing as much as he wanted without harm.

As long as they have already set foot here, they can never go back to their normal lives. He will live with Ines-sama’s arms and legs for the rest of his life, just like I did.

It’s a normal life… Come to think of it, there are other people like you.

‘What happened to Chloe-sama?’

Now we are not the only ones in this castle. Her Majesty’s concubine Chloe-sama’s power has also penetrated a lot.

Mrs. Chloe must have heard similar reports from her own faction.

Ummm… Still, things must be much better than ours. Chloe-sama had a very benevolent and gentle personality, unlike a concubine.

Maybe it will end with blaming the person in charge?

“It was an honor to serve Chloe…! Once again, I’m really sorry!!”

Of course, the janitor’s expectations were wrong, but that doesn’t mean he was completely wrong.

This is because all the characters on Chloe’s side met their end calmly, unlike the character on Ines’ side, who begged for her life until the very end.

Those who grew up receiving continuous brainwashing education at an orphanage are willing to give everything, including their own lives, for Chloe and her husband, Claude.

…………

“Hmm? A face I haven’t seen before?”

“Yes, Your Majesty! I am Jean, who has been in charge of this area for some time now! A soldier who was working here cannot work anymore due to personal reasons, so I will serve as deputy while the official successor is decided. !!”

“Really? Okay. It hurts my ears, so keep your voice down.”

“Sorry…!”

Instead of the soldier who always stood here, there was a soldier I had never seen before.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face, so I’m pretty familiar with it, but it’s a bit sad that we parted ways like this.

Come to think of it, was Ines, who had taken authority from Leclerc, responsible for arranging people in the court?

Umm… It’s time to get full, and working even though I’m pregnant isn’t a good idea, so I’ll have to look for an agent.

Since Leclerc has been deprived of his office, we should leave the topic aside and find another person.

“Your Majesty, we have arrived.”

“Huh?”

It was only when she heard the voice of the attendant who was walking alongside her that she realized that she had arrived at the building where Jeanne was imprisoned. She sees a huge wooden door made of raw wood in front of her eyes.

Ah, they’ve already arrived.

As I walked while thinking about it, it seems that I lost my sense of time a bit.

“Wait here.”

“Yes.”

After hearing the order, the attendant, as always, took a step back, bowed his head toward me, and stood still.

‘It will be difficult if future conversations are leaked.’

The conversation with Jeanne is full of information that will cause a competition if others know it. It’s probably best not to take it with you at all, in case of an unexpected event like a leak.

Claude made the attendant stand by outside under such judgment, but he had no idea that the attendant who actually gave the order thought that Claude would engage in s*xual promiscuity with a prisoner.

Claude, who turned his back on the servant, goes straight into the prison, and the servant looks at Claude’s back and sticks his tongue out inwardly, saying that since he is young, his blood is strong.

…………

“…You mean to find a new life?”

“Yes, she will be Jeanne, who was born and raised in Dijon, rather than Jeanne who led the rebels.”

I have no idea what the saint meant.

From nob le mtl dot com

Meeting the Holy Son is a new life, so what kind of new life do we want to live here?

“Fortunately, not many people know Jeanne’s face. The number of people who enter and leave this prison is limited, and the number of people who have come into contact with you is very few. There is no.”

“If I change my status… What will happen to me?”

“Since you are no longer a criminal, you will be released, and—”

Your sins disappear…?

The disappearance of the sins committed against the Holy Son means that the point of contact between me and the Holy Son disappears, which means that we become strangers to each other.

Besides, if your sins are gone, you will be thrown out of prison, out of the castle, and you will never be allowed to enter the castle again. And since the saint does not come out of the castle very often, the chances of seeing his face will be greatly reduced.

No, no… That can’t be…

I have to stop the saint somehow…!

“Holy saint… I must repent of my sins. Although the earthly law and the heavenly law are different, the authority to pardon the guilty is only—”

“Enough, worldly laws are my prerogative.”

“But treason is a serious sin even in the Bible– uh, uh…”

Jeanne tried to stop Claude with all the knowledge she knew, but her attempt was quickly foiled by Claude’s cold words and her gaze.

No matter how much Claude had good views on Jeanne, Jeanne’s attempt to place her monarch’s power under her god crossed her line too much.

“Ugh, ugh… Ugh…”

“…Haaa.”

The saintess, who was treated hostilely by her saintess, in an instant forgot everything she was trying to say, and she gasped and shed tears. Claude let out a deep sigh as she saw Jeanne. .

According to Claude’s common sense, it’s normal to be happy when someone says you’ll be pardoned, because it just doesn’t make sense to be frightened like this.

‘It seems like you went through some strange way of thinking and ended up like this. Well, it’s a story with plenty of potential.’

Looking at Jeanne’s strange behavior, Claude internally guessed the reason, creates a plausible story in his head, and decides to appease Jeanne based on it.

“I don’t know what she was thinking, Jeanne, but don’t worry, she won’t kick me out. She just said she was pardoned. Why is she so scared all of a sudden?”

“Heh, hehehe— yes, yes…?”

Jeanne, who had been saddened by all her speculations until recently, stopped crying and slowly looked up at Claude.

Small teardrops flowed down Jeanne’s eyes, and Claude, who saw them, swallowed her sigh inside her and continued her words.

“Jeanne said before that she wants to have deep conversations with many priests. Laundering her identity is a process for that.”

“That means…”

“From now on, Jeanne will enter the Dijon University Faculty of Theology as a maid living in her castle.”

“…!!”

Of course, Claude didn’t make this decision simply to grant Jeanne’s wish.

Although Jeanne is young, her theological knowledge is of a very good level, which is incommensurate with her age, so she can engage in theological debates with other priests.

If Jeanne, who is extremely hostile to Seonghwangchung, is attached to the side of theologians, who are bound to be heavily influenced by Seonghwangchung, the two will constantly have theological debates with each other, and if that happens, theologians will win over her Jeanne but lose her influence. Inevitably receive a large

And the students who entered the theology department will see it and think deeply about the problems that the current Canaan church has. Dijon University’s Department of Theology will be an important key card to counter the Seonghwangcheong and other reformists.

Claude nodded her head in satisfaction as she thought of the waves Jeanne would create.

‘Ah, ah… Ah ah…!’

And when Jeanne heard Claude’s words, she let out an embarrassing scream inside her.

It wasn’t enough that I had guessed the saint’s intentions at will, I offended the saint’s heart, and even ruined the saint’s mood by crying unsightly.

How much the Holy Son, who was going to give me such a gift, must have been dumbfounded inwardly when he saw my reaction! I feel like I want to hide in a mouse hole.

‘To make up for the rudeness he has done to the Holy Son, he has no choice but to enter that university and show his grades.’

Jeanne vows that she will not waste her valuable learning opportunity given by Seongja, and she vows to act in accordance with Seongja’s expectations.
