Episode 227
A dungeon where sunlight does not enter.
A prison where criminals who have committed lesser crimes than the catacombs are imprisoned.
A clean man who didn’t fit in a dirty and dusty prison was imprisoned in a corner.
It was Callius.
“Looks good.”
Swoop.
Callius opened his eyes and saw a woman with arms crossed behind the bars.
The woman with one eye covered with a black cloth is one of the masters of Carpe.
It was Karina.
“What are you doing?”
“I heard that there was a criminal who violated the king’s order, so I came and saw him. I knew that you, who are so arrogant, would become like this one day.”
“If you’re trying to be sarcastic, get out of here.”
It was Karina who got rather angry when she answered roughly.
“You are the one who has to turn off. Zervan.”
“…?”
“You don’t think you’ll be imprisoned for a while for disobeying the king’s order, do you?”
“You sound like you know what I’m going to do.”
“know. Since you have a new ball, there won’t be a big punishment. But the nobles will send you back to the battlefield.”
is that bee?
Callius smiled and nodded his head as if he had wished for it.
“It’s better.”
You never know how things will change.
There would be little concern about weakening the Air Force as soon as possible.
Those guys don’t speak at all.
“Karina.”
“Don’t call me friendly.”
“Did you instigate the nobles?”
“I am a knight. Would the knight who would annihilate Carpe’s nemesis play such a low game with the nobles?”
Carpe’s nemesis.
This means a spear and refers to an empire.
Having lost her younger brother to the Empire, Karina hates spears.
“The Queen has sent your beloved saint. I feel like I have to tell you.”
What do I love?
Karina’s face was full of ridicule.
“It looks good after hanging out with the courtesan of the empire.”
Was it like that
I wondered why it was so aggressive, and that was the reason.
It was Callius, who had been rumored to be with the saintess of the empire.
Karina saw this as a bad thing.
However, that had nothing to do with Colliers.
“…Don’t be cocky.”
“…”
Whoops.
All the candles in the prison were extinguished.
The murderous breath that Colius spewed out instantly turned off all the lights in the hallway.
Inside the dark prison.
The only thing that shone brightly was his wolf-like gray eyes.
gulp.
Karina’s hand made me grasp the hilt without realizing it.
“Fire. It won’t end with freezing this time.”
“Are you trying to kill me, the Master of Carpe?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
“You are crazy. If you’re a knight, act like a knight. Because you behave like that, the nobles can’t stand by.”
‘Are you going to give me advice? I don’t know what the hell you’re trying to do.’
I don’t know Karina’s intentions.
Are you hostile or not?
“If you have something to say, do it quickly.”
“…I don’t like you.”
but.
“As a fellow knight, I see your skills as high.”
Karina knows.
Even if you remove the compatibility of the sword, the swordsmanship of Calius cannot be compared to his own.
Although their personalities are trash, those who want to reach the pinnacle of a certain field are inherently eccentric.
What the world will remember is his sword, not his personality.
“Say it straight-forward. Last Day. I received a revelation from Master Balterus.”
I never thought that Balterus’ name would come up here.
Callius’ eyes sank.
“timing?”
“He said that the child born with you would be blessed by a new god.”
“???”
So what Karina said.
“Are you going to marry me?”
“Your dream is wild. Who would marry the likes of you? It means to have a child. I have no time to play love games with you.”
“I am embarrassed.”
A child between a man and a woman must be the fruit of love.
Karina wanted to make a child without love until she had a child.
It was also quite a shocking story from his point of view.
‘Is it possible because the era is the era? I don’t know.’
It was difficult to judge what was right and what was wrong because I did not have much experience with this side.
As Karina said, if Balterus really gave her a revelation, then she could get away with it.
Because in this world, the word of God sometimes surpasses the command of a king.
“But it can’t be like that. So, outwardly, I will be the hostess of the North. Until the child is raised.”
“…Does the Queen know?”
“Of course.”
“Right.”
I wondered why the queen suddenly brought up such a story, but it was all because of Karina.
Because there was a pretext of divine revelation, the nobles and the queen had no choice but to agree with this story.
“It was all because of you.”
“What do you mean?”
“done. It’s not your fault.”
It must be the greed of a god who is needlessly coveting his seeds.
However, it is true that it is absurd.
I needed some time to think.
“Karina.”
“Tell me.”
“Are you still afraid of Kara?”
bang!!
Roaring.
Red flames simmered from her body, illuminating the dark dungeon.
As soon as I hit the iron bars with my fist, the iron bars shattered and melted.
“Don’t mention your brother’s name carelessly, Zervan. before I kill you.”
Seeing Karina growling, Callius raised the corners of his mouth.
“Are you capable of that?”
hard.
Carina, who bit her molars tightly, turned her back and left with a stomp.
“Advice.”
“I don’t need your advice!”
“Do not be afraid of your brother. You haven’t done anything wrong.”
Took.
Karina’s eyes narrowed as she stopped walking and looked back.
Her eyes looked at her as if she couldn’t understand.
As if to tell him to go now, Colius sat still and closed his eyes, just as he had at first.
“Crazy.”
again and again.
Karina left prison like that.
“I wonder if God’s intervention continues…”
I thought Balterus wouldn’t do something like this, even if it was another god.
‘Indifferent and narrow-minded Balterus wouldn’t do such a meticulous thing.’
It was strange, but I already knew that everything wasn’t going as expected.
Then you just have to be prepared.
“It’s not even a stallion…”
Why do you keep coveting your seed?
“God willing… what are you trying to do with my child?”
As if I said it while looking up at the sky, there is no answer, so it must be frustrating.
Clearing his thoughts, Callius took out the objects he had obtained in the subspace.
Fragments of corruption, the horns and hearts of various dragons,
and the Holy Grail of defeated gods.
“It’s about time. It’s a bit like a prison, but just in case you don’t know.”
You can’t waste time doing nothing in prison.
You’ll have to be locked up for a few days, so it’s better to use this time instead.
‘I have never used it except for Bibi to purify the fragments of corruption.’
I don’t know what changes will happen when I use it on myself, but now the time has come for the next bud to bloom.
Stella’s cartoon Bong-Yuk.
Flowering of the fifth bud.
The time has come to unfold the obon.
“The dragons’ resentment builds more and more, and corruption will never give up on me.”
So are the gods.
You must be stronger than you are now.
Even if you can kill the dragon and kill the corruption, those who still don’t show up will be stronger than you now.
So first.
“Become stronger.”
Nothing in this world is as true as power.

Same time.
Emily and her party were meeting the saintess of the empire at the border of Carpe.
“okay. The Count saved Carpe again. That’s how it happened.”
Esther was proud and overwhelmed by the work of Colius who saved the South.
The others did the same, but Emily noticed that the Queen sent Ailee and no one else.
“Why did the queen send the saintess? Without an escort attached.”
Only then did Esther and the others, who noticed that there was no escort, looked at Ailee differently.
Esther, who unknowingly stopped the pilgrims who were going to the sword, greeted the saintess politely.
“You are going back to the Empire.”
“yes. It happened. Originally, there is a difference between meeting and parting. You’re going where you should be, so don’t make that face. Sir Emily.”
“Congratulations.”
“If we go back, there will be a big slope of Carpe. To the Queen and the Count.”
Unlike Emily, who wonders what she meant.
Esther and Serena noticed at once and their expressions softened.
“Then, since I have told you everything, I will leave. Please tell me that I regret not being able to express my gratitude to the queen for being so generous to me at a time when the empire is at stake.”
“Oh there…”
“Sir Emily. Come to me whenever you need my help. I will help you at any time and with anything.”
“Ah… yes. All right. Holy Maiden.”
“then.”
fault. Emily’s eyes widened as she looked at the saintess of the empire disappearing.
“Emily. I wish I could come back soon.”
“yes? What’s going on…”
“Saint Ailee said she was a sergeant, but there’s a high probability that she wouldn’t accept it due to the count’s personality. If that’s the case, since you refused the king’s command, I wonder if you’ll be locked up in prison.”
“Please. I will go to prison for refusing even the king’s order.”
“The Count is strong, but he has many enemies. Even if I try to stay still, I won’t leave him alone.”
Such is the survival of the state.
He wants a knight with great power, but is afraid of his power becoming too strong.
and suppress
This is the case with most countries that have existed in history, and weak kings are eaten by those in power and disappear.
Or, with envy and envy, the general is killed and the country is destroyed by foreign powers.
“Then hurry up.”
* * *
“What? Is the count getting married?”
“Is Master Carliers in prison?”
Zervan’s Villa.
Beatrice and Helena in the workshop there. And Cedric was furious with Colius’ treatment.
“To treat a country’s hero like that!”
Cedric was furious.
“You dare to get married at will to get in the way of someone!”
Helena was also furious a little differently.
“You put my money in jail!”
Beatrice also burst into exasperation.
“….”
“…..”
The three, who were furious according to their respective emotions, thoughtfully wrapped their heads and said while looking at something.
“Gemseongsu. The Queen already knows, right?”
“yes. You got that title. Because of this. I am a noble now.”
Helena asked, ignoring Beatrice who proudly showed off her brooch.
“But why are you still here?”
“Is it comfortable here?”
Helena’s eyes narrowed.
It didn’t look like much.
“Aren’t you waiting for the Count?”
“Ha ha ha ha, it’s money.”
Keeping a suspicious eye on Helena, she looked at the holy water beside her.
“First of all… I’ll have to negotiate a bit with this.”
“Negotiation?”
Are you negotiating? with who?
“Could it be with the queen?”
Without answering, Helena stood up holding a sword holy beast in her arms.
“I’ll find out the situation and come back, so please speed up the production of Sword Saints.”
“No, you have to tell me what you think.”
“We can’t let him stay in prison.”
The reason she met Beatrice in the first place was because of the right to sell Sword Saints.
60% of the Sword Saints ended up in the national treasury, but the rest is still there.
“Gemseongsu is still unstable. It will gradually improve, but Carpe is more disturbing than that. I need to find out.”
“What does that mean?”
“I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but it’s like playing in someone’s hands…”
After saying that, Helena shook her head.
“I need to meet the queen first.”
Tapping the Sword Saint Beast in her arms, Helena left for the royal castle.
