Chapter 37 – 8. The Lord Is Watching Everything. (4)
A complicated, and unsettling thought passed through Lisa’s mind. I was complacent. I never thought that the eyes and ears of the Lord would reach this far.
‘Did you see everything? .’
I tried hard to deny it, but there was no way I couldn’t have seen it. It wasn’t just one or two attacks on Priest Isaiah… I called him every time I got the chance…
It was obvious that the Lord knew everything she had done so far.
‘But… Then why has nothing happened so far?’
Clearly, Lisa, what she did was something that a person who serves the Lord should never do. No, if she was a normal person before that, she shouldn’t have done something like this.
But this has happened several times… Did the Lord just look at it and overlook it? I had no idea what he was thinking.
Moreover, he didn’t do it outside the church, but he did such an obscene thing in the sacred chapel… This crime is so serious that there is nothing to say even if it disappears right now.
Lisa was so excited that she clenched her sweaty fists and quivered her lips…
Her Eminence, the Cardinal, who was just watching her, narrowed her eyebrows, tilted her head, and opened her mouth.
“Is something wrong?”
“Huh?!”
“No… Your complexion looks bad…”
“Oh, it’s nothing…” . Well, they say the Lord has been watching this place… I was wondering if I’ve made any mistakes so far…”
“Is that so? Do not worry too much. Even if you make a mistake, the Lord will forgive you with great generosity.”
“Haha… Well, I guess so…”
As she smiles awkwardly, a bead of sweat runs down her jaw line.
‘Driving me crazy… I don’t know how this works… ?’
I was even more scared that nothing had happened so far. Did you keep me alive just to harass me forever? A number of cases passed through my mind, but I could never come up with an answer.
I don’t know what it was, but I was sure I was screwed…
It felt like my head was going to explode.
“Bishop Lisa didn’t kill anyone… “It’s not like you touched the believers.”
“… “
Fuck…
The cardinal’s words become a sharp dagger and pierce the heart. I’ve killed people, and I’m not a believer, but… Higher than that… I touched the body of an agent who served in the shadow of God.
Part of her wanted to scream and run outside, but she was here, and she was the one who would be fucked if she did something like that, so she wanted to save her life as little as possible, so she tried to hide her emotions as best as she could.
Raised the corners of his mouth.
“Yes… How could I do that…”
“Then you don’t have to worry too much.”
Whoop-
His Eminence, the Cardinal, holding the tea and drinking tea elegantly. Lisa, who was staring at her blankly, felt like she was losing her breath at every moment.
‘No… If you think about it, that bastard was the problem in the first place…’
He’s shaking his damn sexy body and seducing me, so what should I do… If you think about it carefully, he was the one who started it all. Rather, she was her victim, and if she hadn’t looked at her with those harsh eyes and rubbed her body two years ago, the situation wouldn’t have escalated to this level.
In that way, she denied everything she had done and rationalized it… Soon, she was caught up in too many thoughts, and she clearly felt like her head was going to explode at any moment. 〉
Tak-
“Bishop Lisa…”
“Yes… Your Majesty the Cardinal…”
“I will now tell you all the Lord’s words. “Then I’ll just leave.”
“Yes… Yes?”
Already?
Suddenly, she finishes her tea and stands up from her seat. It doesn’t seem like she’s exchanged a few words, but the Cardinal is getting ready to leave as if she’s done what she had to say.
Didn’t she say it took a few days just to get here? That’s not all she has to say… Of course, I wonder if there is anything more important to talk about than the story that a hero has appeared, but I felt like I should have at least had dinner.
“Yes? Bur, are you leaving already?”
“Yes. All my work here is done. “I have to go back now.”
“Still, you must have been tired from the long journey… Take a rest, have dinner, and then go…”
“I am grateful, but… Because this isn’t the only thing I have to do.”
“…”
Perhaps it was his intention to convey this message from the beginning, but he lightly laughed at Lisa’s words telling him to leave later. Soon, as she moved her steps outside, she seemed to be waiting for the believers, but she started to follow them…
“Um, is it really okay for you to leave like this?”
“Hehe… Why do you want me to stay here?”
“Therefore… I want you to get some rest…”
“If I stay here, I’ll have to look after an annoying old man… “Sitting without paying attention is also not appropriate.”
“No…”
Lisa tried to say something, but immediately covered her mouth and let out a faint sigh. She’s not the kind of person who will listen to what she says anyway. Since she was a very stubborn person, she had no choice but to follow her back to the carriage.
“The next time we meet will be around this time next year. You must be busy in one way or another from now on… Don’t stress too much, just take it easy…”
“Yes…”
Leaving behind Lisa’s thoughtful answer, His Majesty the Cardinal gets back into the dazzling carriage. As soon as her followers confirmed that she was on board, her door was suddenly locked, and she began to move hurriedly. So she looked down at her Lisa through her window, and continued speaking with her chin resting on the window frame with a dull expression on her face.
“As you know, the Pope will also come by then. It may be burdensome, but you can do it…”
“Of course.”
“I will believe it.”
Lisa bows her head and shows respect. In a place that was not under the Cardinal’s gaze, she frowned slightly.
The Pope himself is coming… The existence of the Pope was not particularly surprising when people said that the Lord would come, but it was enough to make one feel dizzy.
‘Still, you should consider yourself fortunate that the high-ranking executives won’t find out about Isaiah…’
I may have thought it was too complicated. It’s true that I did something I couldn’t do as a human being, but… I don’t know. Does the Lord care about the deviations of mere mortals?
In the first place, nowhere in the doctrine was there any mention of abstinence. In fact, they actively encouraged things like male-female intercourse and drinking… Lisa, she was suffering alone, and in fact, no one was paying attention.
However, this also requires some certainty… It wasn’t enough to shake off her anxious feelings.
“Bishop Lisa, then I will leave. If you need help, don’t hesitate and contact the parish right away. We will support you as much as we can…”
“Thank you. Then go in carefully…”
With those words, the driver holding the reins made a yelping noise and shook her arms roughly. As a result, the horses began to move forward slowly, trotting.
This was followed by the sound of horses’ hooves clattering and the sound of wheels rolling as if they were tearing up the ground. Lisa, who was watching the carriage getting further and further out of sight, let out a light snort as if she was relaxed and folded her hands in front of her.
Is it because of my mood that my back feels heavy? Deep in her thoughts, she stood there without moving until the sight of her carriage disappeared completely.
@@@@@
‘Hmm…’
I let out a soft moan and lifted myself up from the bed, tilting my head slightly. It’s already been two days since that happened.
Although she has not yet recovered to the point where she can walk, the sharp pain that cuts through her muscles, as if needles were pricking her entire body, has gradually subsided, and she is now able to shake her arms lightly.
Anyway…
That wasn’t the important thing.
I managed to get into position with the help of believers, and looked down at a woman doing the plaster cast at her feet.
A woman with her long red hair hanging down like the legs of an octopus, headbutting herself. Several people leading a guild were pounding their heads into her wooden floor.
“Ha…”
Well, if you know the context, you can easily understand why it is like that. The kids below had an accident, so they must have come to apologize to me instead.
Of course, she didn’t do anything wrong. If you were to ask me, she didn’t manage the kids under her properly? It was her mistake not to pay more attention.
However, just as people cannot change things, these guys were the ones who would cause an accident someday, regardless of whether they had discipline or not. Because of this, I also had no intention of criticizing or blaming Lady Raina.
So I said it wouldn’t matter if I stopped now…
“S-sorry. So that something like this doesn’t happen again… I will be careful. Sorry… Sorry…”
It seemed like Raina thought a little differently than me.
