Chapter 137 – Obsession
#137.
Get on the carriage and 10 minutes.
As I was doing this and that, the vibration that had been transmitted since the departure seemed to gradually subside, and then it completely disappeared.
Looking outside through the window, I saw that the wagon had stopped in front of the Prenewal Guild.
Gaon immediately got up, opened the carriage door, and stepped down.
When Priscilla is escorted down, the coachman greets them and heads for the stable.
“Priscilla. Please follow me.”
“Did you say you were in the office?”
“Yes, I will be with Milena now.”
After a brief question and answer, they headed for Milena’s office. After going up the elevator and passing through the hallway, I saw a luxurious wooden door.
Smart.
-Come on in!
A voice terrifying to knock. After seeing Priscilla once, Gaon opened the door thinking that he was ready enough.
The office was familiar. There was a desk on the right, and a sofa and a window with sunlight pouring in on the left.
And on the sofa were Milenya and a stranger.
The man in the black robe was sitting motionless, and then he slowly moved his gaze, as if he felt his gaze.
The gaze looking at him was straight, but the faith close to madness in him instilled a strange feeling of rejection.
Gaon lowered his head slightly and took a seat next to Milenya with Priscilla. The moment they put their hips together, Rob’s mouth opened.
“Nice to meet you. I am Yulkes, former Inquisitor of the Healing Church. Are the two of you Hyungyu Hyuga and Priscilla Barrymore correct?”
“… You’re right. I am on vacation.”
“This is Priscilla Barrymore.”
I think I know now why it’s unpleasant. Julkes didn’t blink once from the time they entered the room until they said hello.
Although it is a natural thing for a human to do to keep the moisture in their eyes, he even controlled physiological phenomena as if he were not human.
Even in the doctrine of the Healing Church, there is a phrase that states that you must control your desires and gain control over yourself to live a more prosperous life, but this was too harsh.
A life where you can control even the blink of an eye. It’s something you can’t do without going crazy.
Just as he was concluding that Yulkes was crazy, he finally blinked.
‘Isn’t it completely non-blinking?’
It is impossible for a human being to not blink completely. It seems to completely control the state of the body by flickering at regular intervals.
While Gaon was watching with a slightly tired attitude, Yulkes looked at Priscilla and asked.
“I have heard about the approximate course of events. But just in case, could you explain everything from the beginning?”
“… Of course. If we can catch the doppelgangers, we will cooperate.”
“You are wonderful. Extermination of demons is the path that all mankind must pursue. Then please.”
After Julkes’s words, Priscilla’s explanation began.
.
.
.
The conversation with Julkes lasted for over several hours.
After listening to Priscilla’s explanation, she asked Gaon questions, but in the end, he was satisfied and stopped asking questions only after he squeezed out the parts he hadn’t thought deeply about.
Looking outside through the window, the sun was already in the middle of the sky. Priscilla arrived here at around 9 o’clock, so she talked for a whopping 3 hours.
Priscilla also showed signs of exhaustion.
“Certainly there are no loopholes in your explanation. It seems certain that Kaldran Orgius is the doppelgänger king. If you send the contents of your interrogation to the capital, additional support will come soon.”
If Yulketh’s opinion was added, the date of dispatching the Guardians would probably be advanced a little.
This is because the Heretic Judges unconditionally cooperate with demons regardless of their interests. Perhaps the cardinals leading them also had a high probability of similar fruits.
In that sense, today’s position is difficult, but on the other hand, it can be considered fortunate. If the heretic judge hated the demons that much, it would not be strange to run to Kaldran right away.
At his remark, Priscilla put a faint smile on her face as her tiredness was evident.
“… Please take good care of me. Don’t let Milius’ death be in vain.”
“Of course. Then I will leave.”
Jules got up from the sofa with a restrained motion, bowed his head, and left the room without a sound of footsteps.
Gaon, who had been sensing his presence through his sense of humor, stuck his tongue out at the presence that was fading as soon as he went outside.
‘As expected, the power of the church is amazing.’
We are cooperating now, but someday we will have to fight against them.
In order to change the denomination, most of the cardinals, including the pope, would also have to be removed. At that time, if you incite them by saying that they are possessed by demons, they will surely turn on the lights in their eyes and move to get their heads.
When Gaon was alone in his thoughts, estimating the strength of the church, Priscilla stood up.
“Then I’ll be leaving too.”
“Yes, madam. Please go carefully.”
“The head of the Milena guild is doing well too. See you later.”
Priscilla, who exchanged a fairly stiff greeting with Milenya, looked down at Gaon. Seeing her eyes asking what are you doing without standing up, I got up and headed straight for the door.
“Miss Milena. I’ll go too. I have to escort Priscilla-sama.”
“Yes, go ahead. Would you like to wait?”
“Then.”
After all, Milena and I live in the same building, so we run into each other from time to time. He didn’t have to say hello for a long time, so he went straight to Priscilla after finishing his business.
They came out of the Prenewal Guild and waited for the wagon to arrive at the entrance.
As they stood side by side looking at the guild streets, Priscilla opened her mouth.
“Gaon-gyeong. It’s lunchtime now.”
“Yes. The explanation is quite long. We must eat quickly.”
“So that’s what I mean. Would you like to eat together at the hotel? I have something else to say.”
Turning her head, she saw Priscilla staring up at him. Gaon’s face was filled with purple eyes that shone softly in her sunlight.
“Isn’t it difficult to say in the guild?”
Whether it’s eating or talking, it’s something that can be done in any guild building. She wondered if she had to stick to the hotel, but she replied with a low smile.
“Whoops… Actually, I already made a reservation. Sorry for not telling you earlier.”
“… Okay. Well, that doesn’t matter. I would appreciate it if you would treat me to a meal.”
“Thank god. I was a little nervous that Gaon-gyeong would reject it.”
It was nice to see a gentle smiling face. Come to think of it, I don’t think it’s the first time I’ve seen her smile so brightly.
I think I’ve always seen him cry or get angry, but I hope he smiles like this in the future.
“Then I’ll come back after talking to my companions.”
“Yes, there is still a little time left before the carriage arrives, so feel free to do so.”
Gaon got away from Priscilla and contacted Chorin through the communication magic tool.
When she said that she had decided to have a meal and talk with Priscilla, Chorin readily understood. She cut off contact with her, feeling her gratitude towards her.
Right before, Ha-yeon asked a small question from the communication magic tool, ‘Aren’t you having sex?’, But I just ignored it.
Isn’t sex something that Gaon wants to do? Apparently, Hayeon somewhat overestimated him.
When we finished contacting and went back, a wagon had arrived in front of Priscilla. As I got closer to her, Priscilla playfully held out her hand.
“Then Gaon-kyung. Escort please.”
“… Yes. Lady Priscilla.”
“Whoops… Thank you.”
Priscilla somehow felt her elation lifted. She’s vague about what to say, but she just feels like she’s back to her childhood.
Her heart is filled with the naive sensibility of her days as a young girl who didn’t know anything and just studied her mindset as the daughter of a viscount.
Back then she used to fantasize about it often.
She secretly exchanges letters with a very cool knight, or when she is surrounded by monsters, she appears coolly and rescues her, kissing her.
Now that she thinks about it, the possibility of realization is nothing more than a delusion, but at that time she used to imagine such things and dream about the future.
Of course, the reality she is in right now is a completely different gray world, but she seems to be able to forget the present and enjoy it a little.
And it was Gaon that felt that way. As if she had become an adolescent boy, something fresh and exciting was tickling a corner of her chest.
He’s just eating, but I don’t know why he’s doing this.
Gaon put her Priscilla in her carriage, then climbed after her and took a seat opposite her. As they looked at each other and exchanged smiles, the carriage started.
So they couldn’t see it.
Sergio, who was standing in an alleyway far away, was watching them.
He shuddered at the feeling of betrayal.
“Why… !!”
Didn’t she give him a vacation, saying that she had nothing to do for the time being? But I didn’t know that I would leave her mansion in a hurry to meet Gaon the next morning.
Sergio recalled the conversation he had with Hanson this morning.
He always came in the middle of morning training, and unlike his usual round smile, he ran and poured out words with a serious expression.
– Sergio are you okay?
– Priscilla-sama is really too good! How can I keep it a secret from you and go see that free knight?
-If a man is that hungry, he should just choose you. You don’t know how well I wish I could meet you in the morning? After all, you should know that noble ladies are lewd.
Sergio thought it couldn’t be the case at first, but the more he thought about it while drinking the water he handed him, the more he realized that his opinion was certainly valid.
His affection and obsession with Priscilla were stained with hatred and betrayal, and Hanson continued to comfort him.
– Sergio. Will you stay still like this? You might lose it completely! This is your last chance. Huh? At this rate, I might even be dismissed as an escort knight. Would you hang around with that free knight all day, biting and sucking and doing all sorts of things?
-Is it because you’re in love? Don’t worry too much I know it will happen and I have something prepared. Do you know what this is? It’s an aphrodisiac made from beuji mushrooms, and with just one of these, even a modest lady can go into heat at once! Huh? I’m giving you something special because you’re my friend.
-Did I tell you last time? I had a relationship with Calidora-sama. I tried this and it worked great. Was that Calidora-sama just acting cute while calling me master? You can too. Aren’t you curious about what Priscilla will look like?
Still, Sergio did not fall for Hanson’s words. The trust he has built up with Priscilla is not so loose that it can be passed over in just a few words.
That’s why he came to the guild, and he saw the two of them in a friendly atmosphere.
My stomach was bubbling and it felt as if my intestines were twisting, but I endured it.
But what does this mean?
In his eyes now, he could see Priscilla entering the hotel with the free knight.
The way she chatters with her strangely flushed face proves that she is quite excited.
After seeing their backs as they entered the hotel, Sergio turned his back and headed towards the mansion.
His hazy eyes were tainted with rage, hatred, and madness.
