Chapter 303 – 303. Fallen God (1)
======================
Maybe it’s because I’m lonely
It may be loneliness due to numerous wounds and painful memories from the past.
Lack of affection to depend on others, Yushin thought that L was trying to relieve loneliness close to melancholy through contact with people.
“All right.”
It’s not a difficult request.
Besides, Sir El Cid,
Isn’t it the dear lover Ardena’s precious teacher?
How could he sternly refuse the earnest request that Ardena’s master made with difficulty? At L’s request, Yushin nodded her head while keeping a subtle smile on his lips.
“Oops!”
As Yushin opened her arms and quietly wrapped her around her waist, El let out a groan as her shoulders twitched.
Of course, her face turned bright red.
Her elongated ears quivered up and down her, expressing her wildly beating heart.
‘Even when I fought Vortigan… Mr. Gilead kept me in his arms like this.’
Give up your life,
A man who sacrificed his life to protect a foolish woman who tried to accept her death.
L, who fell into Yoo-shin’s arms, made a solemn expression as if she was about to shed tears.
With her in his arms, she buried her face in his chest.
Drenched in joy and shame,
It was too embarrassing to show the face of a woman who was at a loss for what to do with the emotions of love and yearning that thumped in her heart.
‘I didn’t know that well at the time… Mr. Gilead’s arms are so thick…. His arms are also very warm, and his chest is wide. And… I think it smells really good.’
For L, this short time now,
It’s not just an act of overlapping the body…
It was a time to empty the feelings of sadness and loneliness that had filled her heart, and to fill the void with the feeling of love.
Relieving loneliness and anxiety.
She communicated with her heart while feeling the hot body temperature.
“More… Do it….”
The restraint that kept suppressing her heart was broken.
Although I was fully aware that I shouldn’t love my student’s lover,
I also knew that it was a relationship that would never be forgiven,
She liked him nonetheless.
‘If you just raise your head here….’
Is it because one wish came true?
I got more greedy.
As if it is not only humans who constantly have selfish desires, a selfish desire in the name of her love began to take root in El’s mind.
Raise your head,
I want to match my lips as it is.
I wanted to share my body temperature with a more intense hug while whispering love.
‘No, not as much as that.’
Okay,
Not as much as that.
All I asked of Mr. Gilead was a hug. More than that is unacceptable.
If you ask for more….
It was because it seemed that he could no longer control his violently fluctuating heart like an active volcano.
Reaching for her lustful desire, El decided to be satisfied with her hug, and slowly lowered her arms that were holding her body while trying to shake off her regret.
“… Thanks.”
He spoke in a small whisper in a shy voice.
El seems shy,
With her head bowed, she expressed her gratitude.
Yushin also turned her head away, unable to meet her eyes.
“It’s okay.”
El’s face stained with her shame was so beautiful that even Yushin made her heart tremble.
From her who was like her empty achromatic color,
It smelled of spring breeze symbolizing the joy of life.
As if she had completely deviated from the world, the elf beauty with her light purple hair, who had her aloof loneliness, began to radiate vitality.
‘Maybe it’s because you always show a dignified side… , Her body is smaller and more fragile than I thought.’
El, who held her in her arms while holding her in her arms, was small and fragile, and had a small and delicate body that made her want to protect her for the rest of her life.
Of course, that’s an absurd idea.
The opponent is the oath of the elves. It is the strongest piece with the power and authority to annihilate the continent.
If he was in a position to be protected, there was no way he would be in a position to protect the oath of the elves.
“Then, shall we go back?”
As El showed hesitation,
She said, jerking her red-stained face away from her.
Yushin replied to that.
“Yes, I have to go back. We should also tell you about Corte dos Liberia….”
Yushin also had her face flushed.
Is it because she held her in her arms,
Her fresh warmth lingered all over her body.
* * *
2nd head priest,
Cortados Liberia.
Her return as the demon king of explosions was enough to shake the palace of Maherit.
I was overcome with astonishment.
Confusion quickly mounted.
This was because the fact that Corte, the 2nd High Priestess, was alive meant that Ilaina Tres Liberia, who became the 3rd Highest Priestess, was nothing more than a counterfeit and imitation made of lies just because she was the reincarnation of the 2nd High Priestess.
“Whoa.”
The blonde high elf warrior chief sighed deeply as he walked through the corridors of the palace.
With a complicated mind,
I made my way forward with heavy strides.
Because, now that her countrymen are in great confusion, she feels a responsibility to keep her cool until the end.
“President.”
Have you been waiting for Ardena?
A silver-haired elf woman approached us when we almost reached the priest’s office.
It was Liana.
“That… Is it really true? The 2nd head priest… It is said that she appeared as the demon king of explosions….”
The silver-haired elf woman exclaimed, “How could that happen?!” She asked Ardena, suppressing her desire to shout in astonishment.
Does this make sense?
The priest who was revered as a ‘living god’ appeared as the king of ten thousand horses.
It was a horrifying and unrealistic horror like a nightmare created by someone with malice. If it was a nightmare, it would have been a story that all you had to do was open your eyes, but the current nightmare was happening in reality.
“Leana warrior commander, don’t show your face to panic. Even our warrior commanders must not show agitation.”
“Ha, but….”
“It is not our job to find out if this is true or not. Our role is only to protect our compatriots.”
Even in a situation where everyone was confused, she showed a determined appearance no different from usual as Ardena.
It was a sense of duty that stemmed from the thought that even she could not collapse.
“I will go in.”
After arriving at her office,
Ardena knocked on the door as usual and entered her office.
What should I say?
How can I say
As she walks through the corridors of the palace,
She was Ardena, who thought of comforting words to comfort the young Director Shin, who must have been in the greatest confusion than anyone else… In the end, without thinking of the right words, she greeted the new director.
“Oh, are you here?”
Ilayna, as usual,
She was sitting at her desk, engrossed in her work.
Ardena, who was so worried about how to comfort the young Director Shin, who was sobbing while shedding her tears, was calm enough to feel her dejected wonder.
“The warrior commander Liana is here too.”
“Yes… Yes!”
At Il Reina’s words, Riana answered with a somewhat rigid voice, keeping her back straight.
She is not the reincarnation of the second priest.
The little girl in front of her is just an imitation created by the old priests to maintain their power.
However, perhaps because of her memories of having served her with respect and awe, Liana still thought of Ileina as the head of the god.
“… Are you okay?”
I don’t know how to comfort you,
Ardena, who has a somewhat inflexible personality, only asked her intentions in a very cautious voice.
Seeing Ardena’s inflexible consideration, who was rugged yet friendly, Ilayna smiled shyly.
“Then it’s fine! I’m not weak enough to tremble just because my former generation, whom I thought was dead, has come back to life.”
She tried to look strong.
Hiding my burning heart,
In case the people around him were worried, the young head of the priest acted steadfast.
Liana reacted with relief at Illenia’s courageous appearance, but Ardena, who saw the young priest’s cheeks still quiver weakly, realized that she was trying hard to suppress her pessimistic passion. .
“But those things… ?”
Bags located on one side of the office,
I saw a carrier bag and a backpack that can hold a large amount of contents, including a briefcase.
Seeing this, Ardena suddenly felt uneasy.
“What… If a successor comes or an assistant manager comes to replace my duties, I have to leave the office, right? I packed my things in preparation for that time. I think it will be difficult if I try to pack my things in a hurry later.”
Ilaina put on a shy expression,
As if embarrassed, I scratched my cheek with her fingertips.
At the young priest’s words, not only Ardena but also Liana had stiff expressions and opened their eyes wide.
“Yes?”
Ardena asked.
On that day, Reina revealed her candidness of her own feelings.
“No one wants a fake priest. As an elf born in the countryside, I’ve been acting as the head of the priest without even knowing what to do… , That was a role that was only possible because I thought I was the reincarnation of the 2nd priest, right? Now that it turns out that I’m not reincarnated or anything, I’m going to have to step down from the role I’ve been playing for so long.”
I am not the head priest.
Just a country-born elf girl,
Now was the time to get out of the shady dream of being reincarnated as the second priest.
My existence is just… Because it was just an imitation that imitated the real thing.
“I will never… ! I will never think of the Hierophant as an imitation! So please, please take those words away!!”
At the words of Elena, full of tears,
Ardena responded with outrage and demanded that her comments be retracted.
To the surprise of Liana standing next to her, Ardena was genuinely angry with the young Director Shin.
Because she knows how much she has been working hard for her compatriots with all her heart and sincerity, because she knows how sincere she was for her compatriots more than anyone else,
Ardena, who had given her wholeheartedness and effort to her compatriots just because she was not the reincarnation of the second priest, was sincerely angered by Ileina’s denial of herself.
“Uh, yes…. Sorry….”
When Ardena, who had shown herself to calm down or hold back her anger even when she was angry, showed her anger, Ileina shook her shoulders and nodded her head.
It was the first time.
What makes Ardena so angry?
Like bright red bunny eyes, Ileina opened her eyes wide.
“No matter what happens, I will protect the priest.”
“… Thank you.”
In the words of Ardena,
Ileina smiled shyly and nodded her head.
‘Liana, you fool! Silly! The precarious situation like now was an opportunity to show her cool side to Director Shin and earn points from Dae-senpai!’
Seeing Ardena’s dignified attitude toward her god curator, Liana scolded herself, asking why she didn’t step forward now.
When you’re banging my head like that,
At the same time as a rough knock was heard at the office door, high elven nobles with stern faces stormed into the priest’s office without any message.
“Chief, please attend the Yetzirah Council.”
“Regarding this situation, our parliament is not planning to take urgent action.”
The appearance of the second priest,
He meant the eradication of the legitimacy that the 3rd priest, Ileina, had.
There was no way the Yetzira Council, which had been at odds with the High Priestess over the power of the Elves of Liberia, would miss this good opportunity.
Regain the power that was taken away by the priest.
It was also an opportunity to deprive all spiritual symbolism of the priest, who had been the object of faith, claiming the reincarnation of the living god, the first priest.
So, upon hearing the news, the Council of Yetzira had Ilayna Tres Liberia present to ask her priests about the authenticity of the ‘fraud’ and the responsibility for it.
