Episode 645 Salesin Van Bretus (2)
Newspapers were published in countries across the continent, including Lederbelk.
Common incidents were listed on the front pages of newspapers published in all countries.
[The archbishops, including the cardinal of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus, have died!]
[The culprit is Heathcliff van Bretus, the illegitimate son of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus.]
[The king of heresy who commands demons? Who on earth is he?]
The incident immediately caught people’s attention…
In the midst of all the commotion due to the recent satanic incident, a heresy that manipulates the devil has appeared…
Moreover, since he was the bloodline of the previous successes, interest was bound to become even hotter.
This is what was written in the newspaper:
It is said that Heathcliff van Bretus made a pact with an evil spirit and massacred the cardinals and archbishops of the Holy Kingdom.
Thanks to the cooperation of the empire, they were able to immediately capture the criminal alive and transport him to the Holy Kingdom.
“You had an illegitimate child? “What happened?”
“To be a contract of an evil spirit… It’s truly terrible…”
“He’s practically the devil…”
“They say he’s using the devil… In fact, he’s even worse… Wow.”
People around the world argued over the incident committed by Ludger.
Although the words were controversial, in fact, most people criticized him for his actions.
Although he was of royal blood, he worshiped a pagan god and even murdered Cardinal Patrick, who was well-known in the world.
Not only that, the nearly thousands of people who moved with him all died…
One person kills thousands…
This was a mass murder unprecedented in history.
“How is this possible on my own? “Isn’t it fake?”
“They say you borrow the power of an evil spirit… They say that in the old days, the devil even destroyed the country…”
“Is this really okay? “A pagan god… I didn’t even know such a thing existed…”
“But since they said they captured him, it must be okay… They say they will transport him from the Holy Kingdom and put him on the execution stand soon…”
“Maybe the recent demon incident was also caused by this human?”
Heathcliff’s notoriety spread across the continent…
In addition to the massacre of the priests and paladins of the Holy Kingdom, he was also said to have committed the Lederbelk incident and the Isla Machina incident.
People condemned Heathcliff and at the same time praised the actions of Salesin and the Holy Kingdom.
Seongguk went one step further…
The priests and paladins prepared in the Holy Kingdom were dispatched throughout the continent, declaring their intention to completely erase all traces of heresy.
Apprentices and regular priests 30,000
20,000 regular paladins
1000 senior priests·
800 Senior Paladins·
Archbishop Five·
And even priests and saints…
As if to show that it was just for this moment that the doors had been locked for the past 20 years, the Seongguk’s forces spread out across the continent in no time.
Considering that Salesin, a prosperous person at the time, was staying in the Exilion Empire…
It was safe to say that the castle was currently empty.
“Has Seongguk gone crazy?”
“How on earth did you gather this many troops before you knew it? “Is it possible for the number of priests and paladins to increase so dramatically in 20 years?”
“Rather, if power is dispersed to this extent, what about the home country? “Isn’t it empty?”
Despite these concerns, the defenses inside the castle were also strong.
As if those who died with Cardinal Patrick were part of the military, they had amassed a huge number over the past 20 years.
“What on earth is Seongguk planning to do? Are you going to go to war?”
“Even so, there is something strange about trying to exert influence over the entire continent rather than focusing on just one country.”
“You can’t say anything about eradicating heresy in the name of it. In fact, heresy existed and the devil also appeared.”
For the Holy Kingdom of Bretus, this could be said to be the best time for activity.
What if I go out here and protest against their actions and get labeled as a heretic?
In a state where there was nothing, even if I shouted that the Holy Kingdom of Bretus was a heresy, there was no one who would listen…
Now, the devil has appeared and someone who worships a heretical god has appeared…
It was not good timing to refute…
“Furthermore, the emperor is also suspicious… He heads to the empire immediately after ascending to the throne…”
“Didn’t the previous great king always keep his position?”
“It is said that this generation’s success is even young. I don’t know if it is because they are full of blood or because they made some kind of deal with the empire, but I must be careful.”
“First of all, please make sure that the delegations that come to our country are as welcome as possible. After all, even if they are devils, heretics, or just an excuse, we will have to accept them.”
There was no country that stopped the Holy Kingdom’s actions.
1st Princess Eileen, who was informed of such a situation, frowned as if she was in a bad mood.
“Ha, is this how it was planned?”
Eileen thought of the current emperor, Salesin van Bretus, who came to the empire.
Ludger Chelsea·
No, just as we can now call him the older brother of the man who was Heathcliff, Salesin looked somewhat like Ludger…
However, the atmosphere was just the opposite…
Unlike Ludger, who exudes a cold, cold, and unapproachable aura, Salesin had a friendly and gentle impression.
But Eileen had no doubt that the intention was completely different.
Ludger may look like that on the outside, but on the inside he is a person with compassion and consideration for others.
On the contrary, Salesin had cruelty hidden beneath his smiling face.
‘Otherwise, there is no way he could so easily dismiss Cardinal Patrick, who trusted and followed him faithfully.’
Eileen thought she should be wary of Salesin…
It is said that he came to the Empire in person to express his gratitude, but I did not believe what he said.
Salesin must have come to the empire to do something.
And, of course, Eileen knew what Salesin believed…
‘The weak little brother…’
Yvelon von Exilion·
Eileen’s younger brother and the second prince of the empire.
My younger brother, who is soft-hearted and not very politically capable,
A child who claimed that he was not suitable for an emperor because he had outstanding talent in artistic fields such as drawing and creating music, and because he also enjoyed doing those things.
Yvelon, who was like that, has now begun to come to the front, welcoming the Bretus delegation.
‘Are you saying that everything up until now has been fake?’
I already knew that Ibelon had something in his heart…
Ibellon was wise enough not to reveal it to the outside world, so Eileen did not bother to touch him.
But now…
Ibellon moved in earnest as if what he usually showed was a lie.
“Princess, what do you plan to do?”
Pasius asked Eileen·
Considering the right to succession to the throne, Ibelon’s actions seemed like a challenge to Aileen’s authority.
No, it’s actually a challenge…
Otherwise, there is no way that this guy who has been quiet until now can move like a fish in water…
“We must stop the 2nd prince even now.”
“I think so too, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. The biggest problem is the success of God of Sales.”
“···I see… As long as he’s here, we can’t easily touch the second prince…”
Even if the second prince, Ibellon, set things up as he pleased, he was like an echo that would not ring if those around him did not respond.
Within the empire, Eileen has solidified her power…
No matter what Ibelon did, the empire should not have even moved…
The problem arose when Salesin Van Bretus actively joined Ibelon.
It was quite embarrassing for the people around him to see the current emperor openly favoring the second prince.
“I thought I felt at ease recently thanks to the Lumos family being brought here…”
“It was called Flora Lumos… She was amazing… Such bold ambition at that age…”
“An illegitimate child is nothing more than a label… What’s important is that she pushed out Kayden Lumos and even surpassed her other siblings to become the acting head of the family… I lent an arm, but it wouldn’t have been easy without that child’s ability and charisma. “It’s true…”
However, despite this good news, Eileen lightly touched her fair forehead with her fingers as if she had a headache.
“The question is, is it a success?”
The stronghold that Eileen had built up was so strong that her position was shaken by just one action.
“He was right… I should have hit my brother as fast as possible…”
Even if you worry about Ibelon’s treatment now, it’s already too late…
Eileen blamed herself for her complacency, but Fascius did not think so.
‘Princess… In fact, you knew that 2nd Prince Evelyn was in danger more than anyone else, but you tried to ignore the truth due to the love of blood and blood…’
Eileen seemed like a more heartless person than anyone else, but in reality, she wasn’t.
I could tell just by looking at the way he cared for his younger brother Erendir…
‘You try hard to pretend that you are not, but in reality, you have a warm heart. That is why I serve you.’
Fascius spoke to Eileen with a firm resolve.
“I will continue to monitor the 2nd Prince Ibelon… Even if he joins hands with the Holy God of Sales, there is nothing he can do right now… All you have to do is watch and wait for the moment when a loophole is revealed.”
“I’m sorry, but that won’t work, Sir Pacius.”
Suddenly the door opened and 2nd Prince Ibellon came inside.
Fascius narrowed his eyes at the sight.
There must have been security outside, but how?
Rather, you were listening to this conversation?
While Fascius was taken aback by the appearance of Ibelon, whom he could not understand at all, Eileen rested her chin on one hand and stared at Ibelon.
“Seeing it suddenly appear like this, I guess that’s what I thought.”
“Sister, just give up…”
“give up? “It’s quite grandiose to say something based on a sudden success.”
“You can’t stop him… No, not everyone in the world can stop him…”
“You are going to ignore the international community?”
Even if Bretus holds the right now, it was not enough to completely fill the vacancies of the past 20 years.
Moreover, the world situation has been based on the absence of Bretus, so everyone is calm now, but there may be a sudden change at any time and pressure on the Holy Kingdom…
“Do you think we have the power to dismiss people like we did in the past?”
“Of course, the current Holy Kingdom does not have that much authority… But sister, do you think that is all the Holy Kingdom has?”
“You speak as if you saw something…”
“This is the mercy I can give to you.”
“I can’t listen to you any more. Be thankful that the reason I leave you like this is because of the affection of flesh and blood.”
“Because of that blood-relative affection, my sister was cornered like this.”
As Ivelon said that, he took something out of his arms…
It was a scripture the size of a person’s palm…
The moment I opened the golden-covered scripture, it began to shine and a strange power engulfed the entire space.
The moment Pacius saw that figure, he drew his sword…
Stop…
But I ended up showing a moment of hesitation…
Even though Ibelon was an enemy, he was also a member of the royal family.
Injuring the body of members of the royal family is absolutely prohibited as a royal guard.
To Fascius, who only serves Eileen, it showed a momentary loophole…
In that gap, the light flowing from the scriptures engulfed Fascius and Eileen.
“You should have guessed why I was able to come here without any interference…”
The light in Eileen’s eyes disappeared…
It was the same with Fascius…
The two remained silent as if they had lost their senses.
It was like looking at a doll whose soul had disappeared, leaving only a shell.
Ibelon stared at Eileen quietly.
“Excellent… Ibelon believer…”
Clap · Clap · Clap ·
Salesin walked in with applause behind him.
Ibelon turned to Salesin and bowed his head to him.
The fact that he, a member of the royal family, bowed his head to Salesin was essentially acknowledging that the empire was under the Holy Kingdom.
However, there was no sense of contempt in Ibelon’s expression.
“Are you here, Your Majesty?”
“You really did as I asked.”
“I tell you this… Isn’t this my role?”
“Well done… Thanks to the right choice of the believers of Ibellon, the empire was able to continue its existence without falling.”
At first glance, it was an arrogant statement, but Ibelon knew that it was the truth…
“The empire will go down in history differently than it did 500 years ago.”
“Yes, thank you for your grace.”
“It will be the same for other countries… Soon the priests who have been dispatched will begin the Great Recession…”
Salesin grinned as he looked at Eileen.
Red eyes, curved like a crescent moon, shined magically…
“We are spreading our power across the continent…”
Thank you for this chapter ♥️☺️
