Chapter 142 – 142 – The Kingdom’s Allied Forces Invade Sodomy! # One
142 – Allied forces of the Kingdom invade Sodomy! # 1
“Miss Lucy. It’s been a while. Should I call her Queen Lucy now?”
The first to speak was Queen Ginevit.
She asked arrogantly, and Lucy seemed embarrassed for a moment, but then seemed to come to her senses and spoke confidently.
“You can just call me Lucy. “I am not a pope, but a representative of the faithful and ordinary people in the kingdom!”
What should Lucy do if she is overwhelmed by the queen’s power?-.
It is true that I was worried about that, but unexpectedly, Lucy was holding up well due to the charisma that her queen exuded.
It’s probably because she knows very well that the fate of many people rests on her shoulders.
“So, Miss Lucy. “Is she ready to swear allegiance to Nagine Bit ou Niger, the only queen of this country and her rightful master?”
The queen asked.
It looks like they are trying to make the relationship between superiors and subordinates clear.
Soon Medici Archibald, who was watching next to her, opened her mouth.
“Your Majesty the Queen. Please do not forget that we sit at this round table as equals. This is a warning.”
That was correct.
Now Lucy was a leader with equal status and rights as the queen.
As soon as she heard the story of Medici Archibald, her heart burned, and she laughed, touching her own eyes.
“Medici. I have not forgotten how she looked in my eyes the last time I sat down to negotiate with you. “Did you set up an ambush near the conference venue like back then?”
“You were the one who drew the sword first.”
There seemed to be a deep resentment between the two.
It was Medici Archibald who set the eyes of the platinum wizard Thorin on fire.
A turbulent atmosphere in many ways.
Thinking that I couldn’t do it, I slammed my palm on the table.
“Quiet! Let’s not hurt everyone’s feelings with useless and wasteful arguments! In that sense, please receive the gifts I have prepared for you!”
There’s nothing like a gift to brighten people’s mood.
What’s more, what I prepared was so extravagant, luxurious, and rare that it couldn’t be found anywhere else in the world.
Zek-.
Thorin, the platinum wizard who took her box, frowned at her.
“Priest Hyde. What on earth is this?”
“This is my favorite edition of ‘The Village of Back Alley Nymphs’ that I wrote. It is a book with signatures and annotations written by Hyde himself. It is a very rare thing.”
A treasure trove was held in everyone’s hands.
It was natural that the atmosphere at the table, which had been roaring as if they were going to fight just now, became very quiet.
However, Platinum Wizard Thorin chuckled.
“I can’t read books.”
“I knew that would be the case, so I prepared a Braille board.”
“Braille… ?”
The blind wizard Thorin seemed surprised.
He opened the book and trembled as he touched the rough Braille letters with his fingers.
“Is this the braille? Indeed. The dots are embossed. “I can’t understand it now, but it must mean each letter, right?”
“That’s right. “It was made so that even blind people could read books.”
Originally, Braille was developed and studied only in the 1800s.
I could see that I had advanced by a century or two, and Thorin seemed impressed by my sincerity.
“It’s a book that even blind people can read.” Whatever the content of the book, the idea itself is very great! It really is a good gift. It may take some time to learn the letters, though!”
Sorin admires.
Soon Archbishop Hugo also nodded.
“I think it would be good to distribute this widely to the blind children I am in charge of! Reading books with engraved and embossed patterns─. “It’s amazing that no one has come up with such a simple idea until now!”
Kahaha-it was Archbishop Hugo smiling brightly.
Anyway.
As expected, my “Village of Back Alley Nymphs” Was such an incredible book that it bridged the deep gap between the two camps.
It’s natural.
It’s a favorite edition that I personally signed and annotated.
Taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere, Lucy spoke.
“Well, so I would like to make two suggestions to Her Majesty! First, we will guide the heretics properly… ! If this is not followed, we will fight to the last man!”
Good.
Well said.
Lucy continued speaking as if she had not finished speaking.
“If evil witches or cultists gain power, good and innocent people will be unable to sleep due to anxiety!”
That’s very true.
However, Queen Ginebit raised an eyebrow as if she was offended.
“They are subjects who have sworn loyalty to me. Are you telling me to throw away my loyal subjects with my own hands and cut off their heads?”
“Well, that’s…”
“Marquis Sandros here is a member of the Gourmet Association, but he is the best among my loyal subjects. Are you asking me to throw away my prime minister with my own hands? “It is not in line with morality.”
Ssurre-.
It was Marquis Sandros, who folded his arms and opened his narrowed eyes when his name was called.
Try to refute it – it was the same attitude, but Archbishop Medici Archibald opened his mouth to this question.
“Queen. The Gourmet Association is a group that originated from the Prayer Breakfast Association, which reveres one’s own clan and ancestors. “It is not to her queen that they are loyal, but to her own lineage and its greatness.”
“Archibold the Medici. What you are saying is that Marquis Sandros and the nobles under the Gourmet Society are truly loyal to me, Guinevit? Is that what you want to say?”
The queen was a person with a quick understanding.
I decided to add a few words to her and her explanation.
“The witches of Walpurgis serve the goddess more than the queen. Psychos’ sinners believe in and pursue the evil deeds they commit themselves. But if they are truly loyal to Her Majesty, wouldn’t they be able to easily abandon their false beliefs?”
“…”
Gine Bit closed her mouth.
You probably know it yourself.
The reason the cults follow them is not because they are truly loyal to the queen, but because they want to eat her food.
“…”
The queen seemed lost in thought for a while.
And she asked.
“Then Lucy. What does this second offer mean?”
“That is to distribute Hyde’s ‘Village of Back Alley Nymphs’ to every village and every person and designate it as a national book!!!”
# # #
Designating my book “The Village of Back Alley Nymphs” As a national book.
In fact, this second proposal was the core of this meeting.
And it was the first step and everything for world peace.
The people at the meeting were busy exclaiming “Huh” Or “Huh” At this surprising and astounding opinion.
They seemed so impressed that they couldn’t even speak, and Agiles even asked me a question.
“Are you out of your mind? “How on earth can you think like that?”
Indeed.
It seems like he goes beyond admiration and even feels a sense of awe at the wisdom that can’t come from a normal, normal mind, right?
There were times when I was afraid of my own wisdom.
And there were many times when I felt lonely because I could not receive understanding from others due to my outstanding wisdom.
Solomon, the wise king of ancient Israel, must have felt similar feelings to me now.
A person being too wise is also a factor that ruins happiness.
The venue is buzzing with excitement in many ways.
Soon the queen clicked her tongue.
“… Let’s skip the second proposal and move on to the first discussion.”
It was like that.
The second opinion was so great that we could just move on without any discussion or anything!
Queen Ginebit.
I thought he was a rookie, but he’s pretty good at it.
“If we exclude heretics, what can the church do for us?”
“We will have to compromise and discuss this gradually, but we will fight the heretics until the end! And we will never turn away those who help us!”
“As long as we help the church, the church will not abandon us?”
At Lucy’s words, Queen Ginevit leaned back in her chair.
And she spoke to Marquis Sandros, who was sitting next to her, in whispers.
It must have been about 30 seconds since then.
“I heard about a new weapon developed by the church. They say they fire an iron ball big enough to collapse a castle wall with a thunder-like sound? “Can you give me its blueprint?”
Indeed.
I thought the people of the royal family were more calm and cooperative than expected, and it seemed like they had heard rumors about artillery.
Lucy said, “Well, that…” .” When he hesitated, I opened my mouth.
“If we sign the Magna Carta, which outlines our demands and guarantees our rights. “If you do not sign, the ends of the guns will be aimed at your walls.”
Zek-.
I extended my index finger.
“One hour. “I will give you time to think.”
Marquis Sandros got angry at those words.
“… “Isn’t time too short?”
No.
This is a lot of time given.
You already decided your opinion before you sat down at this table anyway.
The story to be talked about in the future is a sluggish power game that determines who will hold the sword. I have no intention of getting caught up in that rhythm.
Soon Queen Guinebit spoke.
“Good night. Don’t sign it. Instead, we would like to place one condition. The “Blood Crusade” Is a common enemy of the royal family and the religious order. I wish we could defeat them together to celebrate the formation of a clan and peace friendship. “It just so happens that in Durgien, there is a city called Sodomy where their headquarters is located.”
I was a little surprised by the queen’s story.
“Are you trying to invade sodomy?”
I was nervous in many ways.
Queen Ginevit continued.
“The Blood Crusade is a heresy among heretics. There are two deadly sins that are difficult to deal with alone. They control a castle called Sodomy and fortify it. It’s okay to say that it’s already a kingdom. And they will never surrender.”
That was it.
The Blood Crusade will fight to the last man and will never surrender.
In other words-.
Queen Ginebit wanted to kill all 50,000 people who committed sodomy.
Archbishop Hugo laughed at that story.
“Good idea! Even dead heretics are not good heretics. If such a terrible sinner were to continue to live and gain influence, it would be a great crisis for the kingdom and its citizens!”
How to unite divided forces.
It was about creating a common enemy.
It seemed that the queen’s army and the church were trying to become one in front of the enemy called the Blood Crusade.
Soon, Sorin opens his mouth and laughs.
“That’s a great idea. Even I, who can’t see, can hear the news. The Blood Crusade and its leader, Rust, are dangerous people.”
Medici Archibald also nodded at those words.
“The opportunity to eliminate them all is rare. Since they will never surrender, I think it would be a good idea to burn the city of sodomy to the ground. “At the moment, there are enough troops here at Durgien.”
Sodomy was a city of terrible heretics.
It’s a place so full of monsters that it wouldn’t be surprising if they all received the death penalty.
I know very well, having had to suffer for years in that terrible city.
But isn’t it a different story to kill them all?
It was I who wanted sodomy to disappear from this world.
I wish the Blood Crusade would disappear.
But-.
There must be a slightly better way than annihilation.
“There may be good people in sodomy. Why don’t we talk to them first before pointing a knife at them? There may also be good people there who are forced to commit heretical acts even though they do not want to… !”
Hugo grinned at my words.
“A good person who commits unwanted heretical acts─. Hyde, there is no way such a person exists. There is no gray in this world. There is black and white. “As a gold plate priest, don’t you know better than anyone else?”
That was it.
Gray did not exist in the world of faith.
Soon people began discussing plans to march against sodomy.
Things were progressing very smoothly, unlike people who had been pointing swords at each other not long ago.
If things continue like this, sodomy will disappear without leaving a single brick behind.
It was right then.
Lucy, who seemed to be thinking about something for a while quietly listening to the story, carefully opened her mouth.
“I… About 5 days. How about locking down the city and giving it 5 days? If it’s Hyde, if it’s Hyde who reconciled the relationship between the religious order and the royal family, he might be able to make sodomy surrender without a fight.”
