Chapter 259 – Old Relationships
After accidentally becoming Changseong’s disciple, Jun returned to the imperial palace and once again had a busy daily life.
Assist the denomination’s working staff and process documents,
Following Franco’s insistence that once you become a cardinal, you must also manage your personal connections, you get to know key figures in the religious order and the empire,
Comforting the wives who are in heat or rubbing themselves,
There was so much work to be done that he wished he had a few more bodies.
Still, he couldn’t make a groaning sound.
Because it wasn’t just me who was busy.
The wives, together with the church, were looking for immoral people who had not yet been dealt with, their collaborators, and other corrupt people,
Franco and Arthur were agreeing on how much real power of the empire would be handed over to the church in order to prevent excessive corruption from recurring after the church’s proxy rule ended,
Geomseong, Doseong, Gungseong, and Changseong prepared materials for lectures, and at the same time, with Jun’s help, they traveled to each corps and church to discover talented people who would take lectures with academy students.
Bu-seong, Pyeon-pyeong, and Do-k-ok, who had returned to their base to explain the situation, also quickly joined in.
Lee Geom-seong, Samgeom-seong, and Pae-seong also tried to join in on the project, but perhaps they pushed too hard last time, and the first two refused, saying they were busy improving their skills, and Pae-seong also refused, saying he was busy protecting the border.
‘I’m upset because a grown adult said something about that. ‘He’s a big kid, kid.’
Anyway, Jun and everyone around him had busy days,
As a week passed, the Imperial Academy, which had been temporarily closed due to various incidents, finally opened.
――――――
Shut up! Shut up!
“… It’s slow.”
Jun muttered quietly as if he was frustrated, looking at the scenery that rarely changed beyond the carriage window.
For him, who could travel from one end of the empire to the other in an hour if he wanted to, the carriage’s moving speed felt too slow.
If I had known this would happen, I would have just ignored the people around me and moved through teleportation.
“Hehe. If that were the case, it would have been a nuisance to the academy staff. One of Darling’s mottos is not to be a nuisance to others. So just be patient. Yes?”
“Sia’s right, honey. Just be patient. Even if you go early, there’s nothing to do, and most of all, you’ll have to deal with people for a long time trying to talk to you.”
“… Ugh~. Okay.”
Jun, who didn’t want to be a nuisance or bother people, nodded to Elysia and Iris’ words.
And then I looked out the window again to relieve the rising frustration.
At that time, Jun caught his own reflection in the window.
Hair decorated with a lot of hairspray.
A black suit that is not flashy but shows a hint of luxury.
There was even a very thin layer of makeup.
This was the image he saw every time he was captured by Franco and met key figures, but no matter how many times he saw him, he showed no signs of getting used to the fully dressed up appearance.
In my heart, I wanted to go back to my usual self right away.
But, that wasn’t possible.
Currently, she and her wives were invited by the Imperial Academy and were on their way to observe the academy’s opening ceremony.
Since it was an official event and many influential people participated, it was necessary to establish a formality appropriate to the occasion.
However, even though I knew that, I could not bear the discomfort of formality.
Although he had only been active for a year, he seemed to have already become an adventurer to his core. Or perhaps he is an adventurer by nature.
“Hehe ♡ Our Junie, you’re so cool. “I feel like I can eat 10 bowls of rice just by looking at my face.”
“The same goes for pocketbooks. How does the suit you so well? From what I heard, it’s not easy to get along that well.”
“Honey, I won’t ask you to wear a suit every day. However, wouldn’t it be possible to wear the hairstyle you have now every day?”
“There is no need for you to do anything. Just give me permission. Then the albino will take care of it.”
Jun’s wives, who were connected by a soul tie, noticed his discomfort and quickly began to comfort him.
Although Jun was happy with his wives’ praise, he ate it with disappointment when he saw that they were no different from usual.
“But are you really not going to attend the school opening ceremony? “Just stay with me.”
The only wives attending the school opening ceremony with Jun are Elysia and Iris.
The remaining wives decided to stay in Dowonhyang during the school opening ceremony.
“I’m sorry, Junie. Port doesn’t like places with a lot of people.”
“I don’t want to show my copy to anyone other than my family.”
“For an assassin, exposure is poison.”
“I’m sorry, master.”
That’s right, all four wives didn’t like people’s attention.
Fortuna was created because of the warrior during the Great War and those in power who sided with his claims,
Dohwa failed to hatch him and because of the cult that kept him locked in a warehouse for a long time,
Rebecca had a bit of a mistrust of humans because of her adventurers who tried to rape her, called her a bombshell, and shunned her.
Because of that, they did not appear in front of people except when absolutely necessary.
“I’m jealous of my sisters. “I don’t want to attend either.”
“Me too. But Airi, we…”
“I know, Sia. “You can’t do that because you are a warrior and a saint.”
And it was the same for Elysia and Iris.
When she was young, she was almost raped by the director of the orphanage, and after she was appointed a warrior and a saint, she saw many people who tried to make her do dirty things in the name of supporting her.
If it weren’t for the warrior and her sense of duty as a saint, the two women would have tried to stay in Dowon Hyang like other wives.
“OK got it. I am resting well in Dowonhyang. But it’s so disappointing. “I wanted to see you all decorated beautifully.”
June didn’t care whether her wives attended the event or not.
No, to be honest, she preferred not to do it.
Because she was very possessive, she did not want to show other people her beautiful wives.
So, I was happy with her wives’ choices, but at the same time, I was disappointed.
Because you can’t see the wives dressed up in a formal way.
How beautiful would these breathtakingly beautiful wives become if they dressed up in a formal manner?
I was very, very curious.
For reference, unlike the other wives, Elysia and Iris were dressed in their usual uniforms, pure white nuns’ uniforms, even when participating in the event.
It was really only the bare minimum of formality, and the reason was to not divert people’s attention and focus it entirely on Jun.
“Hmm~. I want to see Juni, Por, and the younger siblings decorated beautifully. Okay. “I’ll show you later.”
“Really?”
“Huh! Instead… Hehe.”
Fortuna smiles mischievously while slurring her words.
After realizing what she had said, the other wives looked at Jun, or more precisely at his lower body, and smiled mischievously.
“Kuhm, hmm!”
Jun cleared his throat and turned his head.
It felt like if I continued to make eye contact, I would be eaten by these horny girls right now.
Stand tall!
At that time, as if the timing was right, the carriage suddenly stopped in place.
There’s still some distance left, so why did you stop?
Knock! Knock!
As I was trying to expand the range of the radar out of curiosity, a paladin who was escorting the carriage knocked on the window of the carriage.
Jun, who saw the paladin’s face through the window, smiled and rolled down the window.
“Donald, what’s going on?”
Donald.
One of the orphans who grew up at the church in Primuni Village, just like Jun, and one of Jun’s few friends.
Although he went astray for a while due to his inferiority complex and jealousy toward Leon, he was now living proudly and proudly as a trainee paladin of the Holy Knights under the Pope, an elite combat unit among the elite of the church.
For your information, it has been a long time since he knelt down and apologized to Harry, who was the target of his bullying (when he did not know that he was a saint), and is currently assigned to the Cardinal Guard, which is assigned only to veterans, despite being a Holy Knight in training due to his close relationship with Jun.
“It looks like something happened up front. Our seniors are currently looking into the details of the situation, so please wait a moment. Cardinal June.”
At Donald’s words, June stopped expanding the radar.
It would be faster and more detailed to expand the radar to find out, but if you do that, the Paladins’ actions will be in vain.
I didn’t want to make people behave that way, acting quickly even when they weren’t told to do it.
“Okay, I’ll wait.”
Jun nodded and then looked at Donald with a grin.
Feeling ominous, Donald quickly tried to run away, but June stopped him one step before he did.
And then,
Talk
I reached out through the window and lightly tapped his shoulder.
“… Training Paladin, Donald.”
“Uh huh. The voice is small. Why is the reaction so slow? Do your seniors teach you to use official rank statements like that? Huh?”
… Crack!
