I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

118 – Delegation (2)

“You want to raise him?”

“Yeah… Look, the squirrel is not alert.”

A squirrel playing around in Dave’s hand.

I know the squirrels I know are rodents that are quite ferocious and shy away from people.

As expected, squirrels are cute…

I should go to Dave’s room next time and heal while petting the hamster.

“Isn’t Eri saying something?”

“Yes, but…”

“Well, you’re free to raise anything. But did you know that Stella likes squirrels too?”

“Seo…Do you like rodents?”

“When I was little, I must have been begging the cardinals to raise squirrels.”

I also told Dave what I had heard before.

Dave seems glad that there are people around him who have the same taste.

Then he put a squirrel on his head and took a step.

“You won’t run away, will you?”

“Really…”

Couldn’t that be a spirit?

I have never seen such a squirrel for the first time in my life.

A lot of squirrels and squirrels live around my house.

There are also wild hamsters, and cute mice like chinchillas live together in pottery species.

It seems to be a safe area because there are three holy great spirits living there.

So, I often saw squirrels in my yard, but whenever I approached them, they started to have seizures and were busy running away.

I wondered if I was loved by spirits but hated by animals.

“Can I touch it too?”

“Huh? Now, try touching it.”

Dave took the squirrel off his head and held it out to me.

He slowly reached out his hand and stroked his hair.

“Hi-chu”

“It’s cute…”

As expected, it seems to be a spirit since it doesn’t avoid my touch.

Dave This guy is trying to hide from me.

“Huh? He’s a spirit?”

“Let’s take it to Perry.”

“Such…I can’t do that… Why do spirits attach to me?”

Dave continues to shake his head as he heads to the room where Perry is, saying that there’s no way to do that.

The spirit can come to anyone, so why are you doing this?

*

“Bung!”

“Right? It’s a spirit, right?”

“Bung!”

A squirrel froze at the sight of Perry.

And the look of Perry grooming the squirrel while sniffing it was a figure that could be called holy water.

Looking at the squirrel’s reaction and Perry’s reaction, this guy was right.

In the first place, it is absurd that rodents, not rabbits, are fooling around with people.

“Uh…Then I became a contractor?”

“Yes. Stella must be a bit envious.”

Dave, who had suddenly become a contractor of the spirit, stared at the frozen squirrel in front of Perry.

It seems to be a mixture of joy and confusion at the same time.

There are so many people around me who are related to the spirits. It’s amazing to be a contractor of the spirits.

Normally, spirits ignore or turn a blind eye unless they are contracted by them, but they still pay little attention to those who have signed contracts with unknown spirits.

Then Dave will be able to work in a spirit cage at a spirit sanctuary, not an animal cage.

I don’t know about Dave, but for me, it’s really comfortable.

“Hee-chum.”

“Uh uh…”

“Do you think you want a haircut?”

I couldn’t interpret it, so Perry helped me communicate by rubbing my head instead.

It’s a squirrel spirit…Stella will faint when she sees it.

“Let my older sister pet it too.”

“Wh…Of course…I’m not that kind of ungrateful guy, am I?”

Dave gently grabbed the hand of the squirrel that was on top of his head again.

The way Dave treats him kindly, as if he were dealing with a real animal squirrel, was the part that showed how much Dave loves animals.

Soldiers and horses walking in a quiet forest, catching flying mosquitoes.

In the back, there was a procession of wagons loaded with goods and wagons loaded with people, and those who seemed to be in the middle and middle ranks were riding horses and watching to see if the soldiers were walking well.

If you see someone you don’t know, you might wonder if the nearby knights are training.

They do not belong to the Hellenes.

That’s right, the delegation that departed from the kingdom of Lolth a month ago.

The gorgeous and beautiful carriage was the carriage of the princess with the rank of succession to the throne who had left the country as an ambassador with full authority.

But then the carriage window opened and a hand came out.

One person who confirmed it turned his horse’s head to the carriage.

“Your Highness, what are you doing?”

“Let’s rest for a bit. Give the soldiers something to drink and feed the horses.”

“Okay. All troops stand still!”

The leader of the ranks shouted so loudly that the horses pulling the carts and the people walking, as well as the horses that were riding, all stopped in place.

No matter how small a country is, a word from a princess who has the rank of succession to the throne is more important than anything else.

“I’ll get off in a moment.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The princess stepped out of her carriage and took a deep breath.

She wanted to yawn loudly as she stretched her mind, but her royal authority was like a fetter that kept her from doing what she wanted to do.

“How long do you have left?”

“It should arrive in five days or so.”

“Hmm… Then what if we stop marching and put all his troops into the wagon?”

“If that’s the case, I think it will arrive in two days.”

The princess nodded her head in satisfaction after hearing the time considerably shortened.

She wandered through the woods all the time, so it was time to get tired of the trees and grass.

If I pushed all the soldiers into the wagon and ran, I would have arrived early, but I couldn’t do that because I also had the purpose of training.

Everyone seems to have the same idea that in a town where there are only five days left anyway, getting there early is the priority.

“Whoa… As expected, the air in the Hellenic Church is clear.”

“It is a land blessed by the Lord, so it is natural and honorable.”

It’s not that they’re mistaken, the air in the church is clearer and cleaner than in other places.

There is a reason for location, but also because it is truly a land blessed by the Goddess.

“…I’m envious.”

“That’s the same idea, but it’s something you should never say in front of other people.”

“I know.”

No matter how foreign the Church of Hellenes may be, there are many soldiers who are so blind that they are morbidly friendly with the Church.

In other countries, there are many stories of people who gossiped about a major figure in the past or present of the church, but were then killed by a zealous believer.

The fact that this story is often seen not only in the past but also in the present brings more fear.

“Not too long ago, in Unio, where the National Alliance is located, the commander of the guard company was executed by the knight commander.”

“Yes, and I heard that the mayor was also extradited and executed.”

“Insulting the goddess and the saint… That was said to have been done in front of the saint’s wife.”

The first time I heard it, it was so ridiculous that I doubted my ears.

However, when the fact was true and it was announced, the people of Rolls Kingdom and other countries began to criticize Mayor Unio and the dead company commander, rather than criticizing the church.

From noble mtl dot com.

People criticized the prince even when they heard the news that their country’s prince had been excommunicated.

In a way, the thought that religion might be the scariest weapon in the world began to linger in the princess’s head.

“In the future, the era will come when the most powerful weapon will be a ballpoint pen, not swords, magic, or guns.”

“The age of information…The word.”

In regards to that, the Hellenes Church is already the most advanced in the world.

Good quality paper produced in vast grasslands is a desirable product for any country.

Originally, the Cult State did not have a city in a neutral area, so it had to pay a very expensive tax, but

Recently, thanks to the saintess’s wife’s visit to the oasis, she was freed from the pressure of taxes.

Soon, the Kingdom of Rolls, which the church believes will export on a large scale,

Absolutely, I don’t want to do anything to pretend to be with the church.

“This is what I’m talking about after coming this far… They said that the church authorities said they would fight the war.”

“Really…? If that’s true, we’ll last for about four days and then perish.”

“…Are you serious?”

The princess meant that she could only last four days, but

The captain sighed and gave a completely different answer.

“I’m sorry… I guess I’ll have to work hard for about two days.”

“…Huh… Such nonsense…”

Hearing that, the princess looked as if she was in shock.

‘I am blinded by the insignificant throne, have I touched a beast that should not be touched?’

She regretted it in her heart, but she didn’t say it out of her mouth.

Because I didn’t even have the energy to do that.
