Chapter 109 – Mercy
Ofelia sobbing in my arms, and Alicia watching silently with her arms crossed.
The gazes of the people around them watching this strangely bizarre three-way encounter were chilling.
Apart from my resentment, this was a perfect scene to cause misunderstanding.
‘Damn it, what should I do with this?’
It feels like the eyes of many people have become awls and stab me deeply. Would this be how it would feel if his wife found out he was having an affair and became a husband who was being circulated around the neighborhood?
“Brothers, here it is! An explosion of divine power has been detected here!”
“Saintess, are you here! Why did you say nothing… What?!”
When the members of the Cheonshingyo arrived late, the situation returned to the point of intrusion.
“Ah! Heavenly Father.”
“Oh, Lord. How can this happen…”
As if he saw his daughter lying in the arms of an alien man, he covered his mouth or closed his eyes tightly with a shocked look on his face, making the sign of the cross.
It’s a big deal. If this continues, my social reputation will be irreversibly damaged.
From a respected knight leader, to a rare womanizer who flirted with the imperial princess and touched the saint of the Celestial Church.
— Glancing
I looked at Alicia with her guilty eyes. In fact, compared to the sense of betrayal she must have felt, the social blow I would face from her would be nothing.
Whispering affection and trust, it had been less than a few hours since he somehow managed to calm his lover’s anger.
But now, a scene that would cause misunderstandings to anyone was unfolding before her eyes. From Alicia’s point of view, it must have felt like a thousand bucks welling up inside. Will the excuse really work?
Regardless of her facts or her guilt, I can’t bear to feel sorry for her.
“Huh, black…!”
“…”
I want to explain right away, but my mouth doesn’t come out easily.
An outstretched sword can be undone, but spoken words cannot be taken back, because terrible things will happen if you make a mistake.
It was in front of so many people, so I couldn’t move around like I did when I was alone with Alicia.
The more Ophelia burrows into my arms, the thicker the suspicion mixed in people’s gazes.
In the midst of a desperate crisis, when you can only feel the chill of cold sweat running down your back.
“Huh… Mister… Uh…?”
Alicia, whose blue eyes were sparkling, suddenly looked at me and nodded her head without saying anything.
Then she came towards me as if she was slipping.
“Oh, saintess? Why are you so sad?”
Then, the saintess, who had been crying while rubbing her face against my chest, was pulled into my arms and gently embraced.
—Prison
Her large breasts cover her saintly face like a cushion. A certain sublimity was felt in her actions overflowing with her kindness and maternal love.
“Uh, uhh… The princess…?”
“It looks like something bad has happened. As a woman, I couldn’t bear to let it go. If it’s not rude, would it be all right for me to comfort you in your sorrow?”
That moment.
The clouds that covered the night sky were lifted, and gold and silver reflected in the rising moonlight shimmered brilliantly, forming a mysterious harmony.
It is reminiscent of a scene in a folk tale.
“Ah…”
The sight of two beautiful women, one of the best in the empire, affectionately attached to each other like real sisters, made the beholders mesmerized.
People’s attention quickly drifted away from me as the situation unfolded in front of my eyes, too exquisite and mysterious to be a product of coincidence.
‘What the hell is this…’
From the circumstances, it seems that Alicia turned people’s attention to help me. Just in time, the clouds lifted and the moonlight shone down, what kind of harmony could it be?
Suddenly, the expression that the power of the sky dwells in the lineage of the imperial family comes to mind. I thought it was just propaganda to emphasize the dignity of the imperial family.
Of course, it’s more likely that it just happened by coincidence, but the light in Alicia’s eyes just for a very brief moment feels meaningful.
Anyway, I was in the middle of stepping back because I wanted to be at this time.
I caught a glimpse of the low whispers of the two women in my hearing, which had become very sensitive due to nervousness.
“Uh, uh uh? Why is this…”
“Shhh, be quiet. If you don’t want to trouble Sir Wolfgang any more, just let him go. Her woman’s selfishness makes her man’s trouble.”
“Yes, yes…”
Alicia’s mature side, which is quite different from her usual cute and flimsy appearance.
Has she ever been so trustworthy? Although she was only for a moment, she even overlapped the image of Her Majesty the Emperor in her.
Alicia, bathed in the moonlight and fluttering her silver hair that glistens like the Milky Way, feels so bewitching that she thinks she might fall in love all over again.
“How can you be pitiful? That’s what happened…”
Alicia, who was stroking her saintess’ hair with her warm smile, looked at me and quietly pursed her lips.
[Master, this is now.]
She comes to her senses at her advice, which awakens me from my daze.
Yes. It was not a time to stand still.
As if nothing had happened, I calmly approached the skinny bishop who seemed to be in charge of the Celestial Church.
“Sir, what are you doing?”
“Please look at this for a moment.”
Then she held out the monster’s corpse from her trouser pocket to him, who was staring at me with her quivering eyes.
“This is the guy who hovered over the head of the saintess. Do you know anything about this?”
Then, his expression, which had been looking at me suspiciously, changed in an instant.
“…This is, on the other hand, even monsters are living things. Monsters with such deformed forms can never exist in nature. If so, it is clear that monsters were born in a special way, where did they come from?”
“I sensed something suspicious near the saintess, so I approached her once, but she doesn’t show up very often because of her clever stealth ability.”
As soon as I started getting signs that things were going to work out for the better, I quickly got my head rolling and came up with an appropriate answer.
Of course, that didn’t mean he made up facts that didn’t exist. Are you speaking only the truth? Isn’t this damn guy actually the root of all evil?
Because of this guy who was spying on me while hiding from Ophelia’s head, a futile misunderstanding and a scuffle broke out.
“This is not normal. Oh, my celestial body…! Can you hear the whole thing in detail?”
“Yes, of course. The saintess, who felt an unpleasant aura, released her holy power, and the guy showed up while pouring blood.”
“To cause such a fierce rejection of the energy of the heavenly gods. Then, of course…”
“So I caught him, but the saintess was very surprised by his hideous appearance, so I was nearby and was comforting him.”
A clever way of speaking that mixes 90 percent truth with 10 percent oil.
It’s a basic skill in the world of nobles, so it’s a catch skill that even 16-year-old newbies naturally use, but it was something I wasn’t used to.
Because I have always solved everything with actions rather than words. Still, it’s just amazing how my head is spinning when I’m in a situation like this.
At any rate, it seems that my explanation was properly eaten by the skinny bishop, and his gaze, which was looking at me as if he were dealing with a vicious playboy, suddenly became strained.
Taking a piece of red cloth from the pocket of his priestly robe and accepting the corpse, he bowed deeply to me while making the sign of the cross.
“Thank you very much for protecting the saintess. And I’m sorry for doubting you. There’s no way that Sir Wolfgang had impure intentions. The situation was such that my eyes were blurred for a moment.”
“No. It was a look that could be misunderstood by anyone.”
This man, when he saw the saintess and me hugging, screamed louder than anyone else.
The change of attitude is very quick. Well, priests are people too.
As soon as the conversation with the bishop was over, the hostility and suspicion in the eyes of the people around him began to disappear in an instant.
When Jean Leona, the maid of honor who poured the aura of blue mana from her hands, approached and declared the end of the situation, a wedge was finally put in my innocence.
“Sir Wolfgang? We just finished the search. There were no unidentified people inside the restaurant. The alert was perfect.”
“Is that so? But why is this happening?”
“This monster is an undiscovered species and has the stealth trait, so it seems to have penetrated the search magic and hid. This is no different from my insufficiency and complacency.
She muttered as if she was resentful of herself, blushing her face, but I was able to calm myself down with a deep sigh.
‘It’s finally over.’
After that, things quickly cleared up.
“S-I’m sorry! I…!”
“Quiet. The saintess has nothing to say even if she has ten mouths.”
Ophelia looked at me with the most pitiful eyes as she was almost dragged by the stiff-faced priestess Rachel.
At that, I just shook her head and sent her away with her silence.
That mischievous guy needed to be properly scolded once. I know it’s not an easy thing to do overnight, but please be aware of your position.
I just want to thank Alicia for this.
“Sir Wolfgang? I’m glad you’re all right.”
She smiled lightly and came up to me and crossed her arms.
The good mood was already gone, but the lover’s body temperature touching my arm felt warmer than ever.
“There was nothing to say that it was safe. It was just a single flying insect.”
“Because I was greedy, I made it difficult for many people for no reason. From now on, let’s just meet quietly.”
“Don’t talk like that. It was just unlucky.”
I smiled bitterly at her and gave her a pat on her downcast face.
Why does it feel so difficult to enjoy a date? I didn’t know that I would experience it this way, but the status of the princess was really heavy once again.
All sorts of escort forces follow at once with a lover, and you have to pay attention to people’s eyes. He seemed to understand why the private lives of high-ranking aristocrats were so closed.
“Uhhh… I guess I could do something more here. Let’s go back, Sir Wolfgang.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Back in her wagon, Alicia slumped back in her seat as if she had run out of gin, fanning her hand.
“Whew…”
Looking at her like that, I let out a big sigh, and she burst into tears and immediately came running into my arms.
When the two of us are together, I quickly return to the soft Alicia I used to know, and a foolish smile forms on her lips.
“Master, you idiot! He said he went to the bathroom! He’s getting involved with some strange kid!”
“I’m sorry, Alicia. I didn’t plan to do that, but things took a weird turn.”
It was all thanks to her that her work did not bother her and was finished in her proper line.
I held Alicia, whom I felt especially dear to her today, tightly with both of her arms.
Then she hugged me by the neck, stared up at me, and began to grumble cutely.
“What kind of trouble is this with that hamster-like girl? She says that the child is a saint? It’s no different than a woman.”
“A female. It’s just because it’s nice to see me after a long time. That guy must be having a hard time in his own way. It seems like he’s lived a normal life since he got out of that hell. She must have wanted to become a saint.”
“Really, she is unnecessarily considerate. The only person in this empire who sympathizes with her saintess who received her heavenly grace in that way is probably the only one in this empire, right?”
Seeing her Alicia, who seems to be conscious of her Ophelia, I caress her while gently stroking her silver hair that seemed to have melted moonlight.
“Really? Maybe it’s because the imperial princess is my lover. To me, that little girl seemed more like a normal girl than her saintess.”
“…Maybe only Master thinks so.”
Could it be that Alicia is jealous of her little guy?
With that in mind, the way she muttered dissatisfiedly over and over is not jarring, but rather makes her feel unbearably endearing.
After all, her day was such a catastrophe that I could have fired at her and put her on my cheek or told her to reconsider our relationship.
Rather than calmly covering the truth, it was a more natural situation for emotions to take precedence.
Nonetheless, rather than reprimanding me, Alicia wholeheartedly helped me out of the embarrassing situation. She doesn’t even show her displeasure at all.
How much can you love me? Could a woman like the princess of an empire be so merciful?
I stared Alicia into her eyes and kissed her again.
— Churup!
It wasn’t the feeling of accepting her desires as usual, it was her greedy kiss full of her desires for her.
“Yes haha… Master…? Ha ha…♡”
“Haha, Alicia…”
I covet the inside of Alicia’s mouth, massage her luscious breasts to my heart’s content, and put everything of my precious lover into my hands.
Then, she dug up the hem of her elegant and expensive dress and expressed her intention of refusal, not refusal, as if to encourage me to reveal her desire like a beast.
“Oh, no… You said we shouldn’t do it here?
“It’s different. I suddenly wanted to do it because you’re so lovely. Be careful and it’ll be fine.”
“Ah… Hag…! Master, there…”
“Your lower legs are already wet. What were you expecting?”
“Mo, I don’t know… Pervert…♡”
The night spent in the wagon was more enjoyable and thrilling than ever.
I’ll do it again next time

Like that, I went to work on Monday morning in a refreshing mood and accepted another article.
