[Episode 86]
Middle School High School I was obviously ostracized, ridiculed, and made a laughing stock, but no one did violence to me.
The moment I got hit by someone for no reason, I became a crazy dog.
When his hair was grabbed, his hair was pulled out in a round shape as if he had lost his hair.
“yes…? What do you mean…”
I innocently approached and jumped up from under his legs with all my might.
Poo-!
“Keuk…!”
oh my head hurts
I hit the middle ear between his legs with all my might, and I missed the whip and laughed at the priest who grabbed me between his legs.
“Adam Iona!”
“Your lady.”
Adam changed his name. It was obviously because the fact that I was the family head hadn’t been announced yet.
I raised my finger and pointed at the priest without raising any questions, and opened my mouth brightly.
“He flirted with me.”
“yes?”
While Iona questioned, Adam slowly drew his sword.
“I will follow your orders.”
“Yeah Iona look at that person.”
It doesn’t look like two people bullying one person, so I pointed at the beastman trembling on the floor.
“Really don’t kill me.”
When Adam’s sword seemed to be overrun with life, he added a word, and he softened his momentum.
‘Did he really mean to kill me?’
how to do the rear end
While I was shaking my head, Su-in was already crawling to my feet.
“Are you the king?”
“yes…?”
“You are the King who will save us…? There was a revelation. The king of the beasts who will save us has awakened…”
What revelation did you receive? I felt like my limbs would shrivel.
I was at a loss for words and was silent for a moment at Suin’s words.
Looking at him with a slightly bewildered expression, the man was weeping profusely.
“Please…”
He lowered his head and pressed his forehead to the ground.
“Free us… from those cursed humans.”
I closed my mouth and frowned. When Lucillion becomes the high priest, the prisoner becomes free.
Lucillion freed them all in the name of not seeing the beasts in the temple.
“Please have mercy…”
I looked down at the beastman for a while and then nodded.
“I will try.”
It’s something that will happen when Lucillion becomes the high priest, but it won’t matter if we can move it a little earlier.
“Thank you thank you!”
Because he just needs hope.
“huh.”
I answered and raised my head. Adam, who had already tidied up the fuse, came to me and prostrated himself holding onto his back.
“I have received your order.”
“Noooooo…! What the hell!”
His lips parted and his face swollen, and he asked with a leaky voice, as if his teeth had fallen out.
“me?”
what do you say
It’s a little bit like I’m turning everything upside down. But you can’t say it’s a problem with the Etam family.
After thinking about it briefly, I came to a satisfactory conclusion.
“I am the nephew of Cardinal Cruno!”
I proudly declared
“Hey!”
“Whoah!”
At the same time, the priest and the beastman crawled away from me almost at the same time as if they had a seizure.
“uh…?”
This isn’t it.
Even if the priest was like that, why did the prisoner run away like that? He was looking at me with an expression full of shock and betrayal.
“His Excellency Cardinal Chrono’s nephew…?”
And the priest was overly frightened. I was speechless for a moment at the slightly different reaction than I expected.
When I rolled my eyes wide, the two of them freaked out and crawled backwards with their hips.
“Where is Uncle?”
“That person… He’s probably going through penance with the High Priest by now…”
“Penance?”
When I asked with my eyes wide open, he nodded.
“So where are you?”
“It’s probably in the third chamber of light.”
He barely opened his mouth with swollen lips. I was a little annoyed with that frustrating answer.
“I don’t know if you say that…”
I lowered my head in embarrassment, and Adam grabbed the hilt. Then, the priest opened his mouth in amazement.
“That’s…! If you go straight from here, there will be a white road all over! It is the third room among the rooms that appear when you walk down the street. Please don’t hit me!”
At the end, it was so urgent that I closed my eyes and rapped. I frowned when I saw that double aspect.
It was funny that he beat Soo-in like that and then said he didn’t want to be beaten by anyone else.
“Don’t hit him, send him back.”
“Yes yes I understand. You go back to us right now!”
“Yes yes…”
The beastman limped up and bowed his head to me, then turned and walked away.
The limping leg did not look normal.
‘We…’
I don’t know anything else, but I thought it would be better to free the prisoners.
‘To do that…’
I’ll have to somehow persuade my third uncle, who is like the head of the hardliners.
“Adam.”
“Your lady.”
“He just glared at me.”
“yes?! yes?! When is my me? It didn’t! Huh, I didn’t!”
The priest almost started a game and crawled under my feet. It was a man who looked to be in his 30s.
He grabbed my feet as if he wasn’t ashamed. It seemed that he really didn’t like it.
“Then guide me to where my uncle is.”
At my words, he hurriedly stood up and nodded his head.
The place we arrived at following his guidance was a building so pure white that vomit came out.
From all the decorations to the pillar road, everything was pure white, so just looking at it made me feel strange.
Squeak clatter!
And from somewhere a sharp burst was heard. The sound got louder and louder as we walked.
And finally, the priest stopped in front of the room where the sound was clearly leaking out.
‘No way…’
When I saw the priest, the priest trembled and opened his mouth.
“This is it. It’s just that when you’re in penance, it’s a rule that no one goes in…”
Is that a man that’s upright and doesn’t seem to break?
I was speechless at the unbelievable fact. Inside, the same regular sound was coming out.
“Are you doing this too?”
“A penance? No, this is for someone specially designated by the high priest or when he wants it himself.”
“ah.”
“Since Cardinal Cruneau is always living his life with a heart of atonement, the High Priestess is directly helping him with penance.”
I couldn’t help but be a little taken aback by that statement. Isn’t it strange that anyone can see it?
There was no one in front of the room from which the sound was leaking.
I glanced at Adam and Iona, and they hesitated briefly.
“Mistress, can’t we just say we’ll take care of it and call you back?”
Iona asked once, even though she clearly knew it wouldn’t work.
“huh.”
At my answer, the two bowed their heads and grabbed the doorknob.
“W You can’t open this place! You will be very upset.”
I pretended not to understand the priest’s words and nodded. Then two people opened the door instead of me.
As soon as the door opened, the smell of blood and the pungent smell of herbs hit me.
In the center of the scene, Cruno Etam, who had taken off his upper body, was sitting on his knees with his back erect.
Blood was oozing from a long wound on his back, and a bunch of flexible stems, like leafy reeds, were pounding incessantly down his back.
Plants had a lot of variety. Sometimes, when a plant touches a wound, it causes terrible pain.
When the door opened, the man who had slapped a branch full of leaves and thorns on his back slowly turned around.
The middle-aged man took one look at my articles and clicked his tongue lowly.
He was a man with eyes as thin as snakes. Rather than being a priest, it was a first impression that would suit him better if he were a vassal.
“There must have been a rule not to enter the room of a priest who is undergoing penance.”
“Third three seconds five five!”
I ran like a child who didn’t know anything and grabbed his arm tightly.
Still, he didn’t come to his senses, so he quickly dug into his arms and wrapped himself around his neck.
Only then did he, his pupils dilated from the terrible pain, raise his head as if he had suddenly come to his senses at the sound of my warmth and voice.
“…you.”
His face was full of cold sweat. It is unbelievable that this is penance.
It’s just torture.
“Who did come on their own?”
he said as he pushed me away.
Of course, I desperately clung to his neck.
“I’m here to see my uncle!”
Actually, I only came to see Lucillion, but I didn’t think I should say that here.
“uncle?”
Perhaps the snake-like man who appeared to be a high priest tilted his head.
“Go away, this is not a place for you to come recklessly.”
He said that while frowning in pain.
I naturally frowned at the smell of the herb, which seemed to be a mixture of slightly savory almond scent and pungent lemon scent.
This was not a medicinal herb that healed wounds, but rather a poisonous herb that left scars for a long time.
It is a bad quality that allows the pain to last for a long time and the wound to remain for a long time.
The herb, which grows like a reed, grows up to 1m when it grows long, and when it touches a wound, it gives a stinging and electric pain.
In this world, it was used for torture or as a disinfectant after being well diluted and blended.
Of course, when used raw, there was no effect other than causing pain.
“Why are you beating my uncle?”
“You are the adopted son of the Etham family.”
The high priest looked down at me with a very interesting gaze. Hanging from his neck, I could see how hot Chuno Etam’s body was.
“Go back, this is not where you are coming from.”
“no, I do not want.”
“Think about your situation.”
“Yeah, I thought.”
It seems that Krono Etam asked me to think about my position as head of the household, but I had already thought about everything.
“Everyone protects me, so I have to protect everyone. This is such a place.”
At my words, Cruneau Etam’s pupils slightly widened.
