Chapter 199 – Summary
“I couldn’t see anything. “I’m sorry.”
Although her words were an apology, Elysia calmly adjusted her appearance as if she was showing off.
No, it’s definitely showing off.
Just like someone from a few days ago, I see her with her arms crossed, and her legs crossed, grinning as if it’s my victory.
“Pfft!”
Natalie, who had gone through numerous dark struggles, immediately realized that the warrior’s smile was something she could see.
Well, even if you didn’t have that experience, you would definitely have noticed.
It would be even stranger not to notice, considering not only the posture she showed a few days ago, but also the fact that she was wearing the same killer office look she wore to seduce Jun, including black stockings, high heels, and a two-piece.
‘Before she was a warrior, she was a female.’
Why is the hero trying to cause trouble like this?
It was probably revenge for trying to seduce Jun a few days ago. It was something that only a female, not a warrior, would do.
Natalie was embarrassed and unfair.
Is this because of something that happened a few days ago, not a day or two? I don’t know if the temptation was done properly, but that wasn’t the case either.
‘You interfered right next to me. With those needlessly large breasts!’
If it hadn’t been for that interference, she would have been able to live happily as the hero’s concubine, and she wouldn’t have been dragged into the hell of working overtime by an old maid like she is now.
Resentment grows and grows.
However, Natalie forced the corners of her mouth that were naturally going down and tried to smile.
Since ancient times, in a fight between females, the one who gets angry first loses.
Since I couldn’t steal the attractive male, I wanted to at least protect her pride.
Even if it is an ugly struggle.
“After. Hehe. You seem to have an unexpected twist, warrior. I’m worried. “The person who was born with the destiny to save the world is so narrow-minded.”
“This is an exception only for some people. Other people treat me with a ‘broad’ mind, so don’t worry. Rather, I am worried that I am being too ‘broad’ in my approach. “Because my husband constantly tries to broaden my already ‘wide’ mind.”
Boing!
Elysia pulls her arms up as if to check.
The huge breasts resting on her arms stood out as if they were overflowing.
“… Tch!”
The sight was so overwhelming that Natalie clicked her tongue without realizing it.
And that is,
“… Hmph!”
The same was true for Carol, who had an A cup, which is truly rare in this world where C cups are the average size.
Tuk-tuk
“Cheer up. Even the warrior does quite a bit. Before my fairy sister becomes more uncomfortable.”
“Of course.”
The guild leader patted Carol on the shoulder and comforted her, then pointed to Fortuna with her chin and stopped Elysia.
Since she had sufficiently retaliated, Elysia obediently followed her instructions.
“Are we finally getting to the point?”
“Honey, we haven’t even gotten to the point yet, and I’m already tired. Should we just fall out?”
“Is that so?”
Jun and Iris really wanted to get out of this situation.
However, I knew very well that there was no way it would work.
In the end, the two sighed and quietly sat down next to Elysia.
“Hmm. Then, I will report on the results achieved with Natalie’s help.”
Carol’s performance report, which began as soon as the atmosphere for conversation was created, provided a reassuring clue to the current situation where there was little information about immoral people, but at the same time, it made her feel so frustrated that she couldn’t help but sigh. Br〉
“… Both the 1st Prince faction and the 2nd Prince (Leon) faction seem to have some kind of connection with immoral people?”
“Yes, the 1st prince faction is certain, and the 2nd prince faction is very strong.”
The guild and the church traced back the information provided by Natalie and the flow of David’s slush funds and orders.
Although we were unable to secure clear evidence whether the forces concerned about the current situation on the continent, which were persistent and penetrating even if they had even the slightest connection to immoral people, were moving quickly, we were able to clearly trace the flow.
As a result, it was discovered that most of David’s slush funds and orders went to the noble families of the 1st prince faction, and a small portion went to some noble families of the 2nd prince faction.
“In the empire…”
“Of course I reported it. The Pope and myself, too. Normally, I would have kept it quiet and exploded it when at least one clear piece of evidence came out, but with the current situation, I thought it would work even without that.”
Looking at the guild leader’s distorted face, it was obvious what he was going to say next.
Still, Jun asked just in case.
“Didn’t it work? “Not at all?”
“Not even the seeds worked. What did you say? Don’t slander the future of the empire with pointless speculations? Fuck, you can talk as much as you want without even knowing whether the future is shit or soybean paste.”
Unfortunately, the guild leader’s answer was as expected.
‘Well, it’s only natural.’
The only children of the current emperor were the first prince and Leon.
In such a situation, not one but two people are connected to immoral people?
If the criticism were true, it was obvious that not only would the blood of the imperial family be cut off, but the national prestige of the empire would have plummeted to the bottom.
From the empire’s perspective, the criticism had to be denied at all costs.
Even if the point is true.
“Haa~.”
‘Leon. ‘What on earth are you thinking?’
Jun sighed deeply.
My mind was too complicated.
‘I had suspected that there was a connection between the 1st Prince and the traitor since David’s Royal Guards took the same pills that the assassins sent by the 1st Prince took.’
I never thought that Leon was connected to them.
It was inevitable, because by his side were figures from the church who could be said to be enemies of immoral people like Leonard and Linda, and he himself was the son of a former saint who was one of the high-ranking figures of the church.
If we were hostile, we would have been hostile, and we were never in a position to join forces.
‘Now that I have a connection with Leon, I guess there’s an uproar because I like these immoral people, right?’
What is the reason why the immoral people put pressure on both the first prince and Leon at the same time?
It was clear that they wanted to weaken the empire by starting a civil war and then take advantage of the opportunity.
‘Leon, why are you giving me such a burden? Huh?’
“Now that I think about it, Secretary Leon said he was Darling’s friend.”
“Don’t worry, honey. Because I don’t know what kind of guys they are, I’m probably just borrowing a little bit of their power. Since the criticisms of the guild and the church must have reached that guy’s ears, he will definitely break off the relationship right away.”
When Jun was having a hard time because of his friend who was always upset even though he was far away, Elysia and Iris, who heard about their relationship at a hot spring not long ago, rushed to comfort him.
However, Jun’s mood did not improve at all.
Only unanswered questions appeared one after another.
“Why did you borrow the power of these unknown guys? “I heard that guy is very popular.”
Upon entering the Imperial Academy, Leon revealed his existence to the world.
The fact that he is the son of a former saint and an emperor, his unusual life story, his beautiful appearance, his outstanding talent,
And as it became known that he had developed the ‘superpower-nullification’ that only the Emperor Shi Huangdi and a few prefectures had developed, numerous people and nobles gathered to his side.
The number of people was so large that the highly credible Imperial Newspaper predicted that Leon would soon form a force comparable to that of the first prince.
But what is so disappointing about borrowing the power of an unknown force?
“That means that the power of her maternal relatives, including the empress, and their dependents was strong. Those who will be fried in molten iron. “How much do I have to spend?”
“On the contrary, none of the people gathered next to the 2nd prince were very strong.”
“The biggest reason is that the denomination that was expected to actively lend its power remained neutral. Let me ask you a question: why on earth did you remain neutral? “If we had supported the second prince, the authority of the church would have increased even more.”
After the guild leader and Carol, Natalie, who had deduced Leon’s actions, asked the hero and the saint a question with a truly curious expression.
The warrior shook his head with a wry smile, and the saint snorted as if asking something so obvious.
“The denomination must focus on the spiritual aspect. That way, in times when the world is in danger, people will be able to more confidently believe in and follow the denomination.”
“Besides, the authority of the church is still sufficiently great. The nobles who were concerned about him were keeping him in check, so if his authority grew even greater than it is now, he would definitely lose his reputation.”
A god who bestows grace through miracles or priests, and a nobleman who takes away the wealth he has worked hard to gather and is unnecessarily arrogant about such topics.
Who do people trust and follow more?
If it’s a hundred, if it’s a hundred, if it’s a thousand, it’s a thousand. I will believe in God and follow him.
The nobles who gained power from people naturally had no choice but to keep the religious order in check.
Even if Leon becomes emperor through the power of the church, that won’t stop. No, it will get much worse than it is now.
The church, concerned about him, remained neutral despite Leon’s request.
Some raised their voices calling for active support for Leon, but the Pope, warriors, saints, and saints who could be said to be in charge of the church all insisted that they should remain neutral, so the policy did not waver in the slightest.
“But now I think we need to change.”
“Prince 1, that bastard clearly received help from immoral people, so he should never become emperor. Great. I was already annoyed because every time we met, she made outrageous remarks asking me and Sia to become her concubines.”
Elysia and Iris look at each other and nod as if they agree.
Jun asked those women.
“Then are you going to support Leon?”
“First, let’s see if there are any extenuating circumstances. Now that the practical training period is over, I can go back to the academy and investigate.”
“While we’re at it, honey, get up to the 30th floor of the labyrinth as quickly as possible. Let’s quickly form a party and conquer the labyrinth.”
“Now that I think about it, you didn’t go into the labyrinth even once after the flood was over because you were working, right? When you enter the labyrinth, quickly find any treasure chest and open it. It is said that God will reward them by adding up their accomplishments during the flood.”
“Yes, I heard it from Tatsu.”
He even came to my office and boasted about receiving a gold grade sword.
She responded with an expressionless expression, saying she was busy, but in reality, she was very jealous.
‘What will my reward be? Since you’ve done so well, there’s bound to be a platinum level item, right?’
Jun is shaking with anticipation.
Elysia and Iris burst out laughing as if they were dying because they thought he was so cute, and then they started making fun of him like a boy bullying the girl she likes.
“Darling, you can’t cry because we’re not here.”
“Sleep well and don’t eat picky. Okay?”
“Uh… Isn’t that something you should worry about, not me?”
I can’t sleep because of my frustration, and my food won’t taste good because I can’t eat semen. Is that okay?
Jun asked with his eyes.
Elysia and Iris, who managed to read those eyes, thought.
… I see.
