Episode 228
: Whip!
A woman like a pure white snowflake, shedding tears in her bed.
Clara, Queen of Carpe, was still unable to recover from the shock of her broken heart.
“Victor. Why did Zervan reject me? Am I not that attractive?”
Thanks to this, it was Viktor, the guardian knight who always stood by the queen, who was in trouble.
“It must have been very, very sudden.”
“You answered too sternly for something like that!”
“But by refusing, he proved to the whole world that his ambitions were not great. The Count Zervan I saw is wise. Knowing it would be like this, he must have had no choice but to refuse.”
“Is it really like that?”
“Otherwise, would you have refused? Your Highness is more attractive and slender than any woman in the world. She is the kind of woman any man would want to have.”
I began to ponder whether I had stopped crying at Viktor’s calm consolation.
“Then, how can the count and I get married smoothly?”
“You just have to make it impossible for you to get married.”
“Is there no choice but to do it?”
Clara’s eyes brightened.
“For example…”
Whisper.
When Clara started whispering, Viktor’s eyes widened.
“This will be a good idea to check Zervan’s loyalty.”
“Yes?”
“But are you okay?”
“Um…”
“If that’s the case, I’ll confirm my loyalty, but I won’t know my sincerity as a father-in-law.”
If they had no choice but to marry Confucius, who is a pervert of the marquess family, everyone would stop them ahead of time.
Since the queen of a country is said to be marrying an idiot, how can I not stop it?
Then, who should be the man who will marry the queen then?
Wasn’t it Zervan, a man with legitimacy and mighty power?
That’s what I was told to do.
If that’s the case, Zervan won’t be able to cancel the marriage.
However, as Viktor said, this was a wedding that was done with the utmost sincerity, so he was asking if it was really okay.
“I know Your Highness’s sincerity. Otherwise, he would not have sent the saintess to the empire.”
“I don’t know. This is the situation that Sir Karina claims to have received a revelation from God. If left alone, the Count will marry her. Even if it is without affection.”
“You don’t like it.”
He nodded firmly.
I don’t know if Karina really loved Callius, but she doesn’t know that she wants to get married because of God’s revelation, without any affection.
So I hated it even more.
“no, I do not want. I don’t deserve it, but I hate it. I want to take the Count’s first one. Even if he later makes a child with her. Even if it’s God’s will, for the first time. I can have as much as the first marriage.”
Even if everything else was conceded, I could never concede that much.
I didn’t want to.
It was not my will to become the king of Carpe, nor was it my will to live this life.
“People say I now have the appearance of a full king, but I am still a young and powerless king.”
Isn’t it such a big greed to want to have the only person who wants to completely rely on that kind of person.
when you make up your mind again.
smart.
I heard the maid’s voice outside the door.
“Your Highness Paladin Sir Helena has come to visit you.”
“Sir Helena? I will be leaving soon.”
When the maid informed that Helena had arrived, the queen appropriately erased the traces of tears and dressed neatly, and went out.
The road to Daejeon.
Clara seemed to know roughly why Helena came without a promise.
“Sir Helena.”
“I see the beautiful queen today as well. Every time I see you, you mature.”
Helena de Bolivian.
As the daughter of a merchant family, a member of the Five Stars who rose to the position of Paladin.
A knight who is considered to be one foot closest to the Master.
When the Sword Saint was created.
It is also an article that is said to be given before anyone else.
Since the number of Sword Saints was limited, the words were agreed upon to bestow them.
‘But I heard that she also has a close relationship with the count.’
Perhaps the reason she came was because of the count, not the Sword Saint.
“The reason I came is none other than Count Zervan.”
“okay. Is it because you sent him to prison after you appointed him as the head of state?”
“Everything in this country should be done according to the Queen’s will. Even if it is an enemy of a country.”
Then what is the problem?
Clara calmly waited for Helena’s words even though she knew the answer.
“But national marriage is a little different.”
“Tell me more.”
“Claton von Agato Bright, the founder of Carpe, opposed a national marriage between the four nobles and the royal family.”
It was because he was concerned that the power of the four great nobility would grow.
It is the same as the reason for limiting their position to the count and limiting their territory.
“Of course, I don’t know the ancestor’s heart. Since then, the Bright Dynasty has valued tradition. The fact that I am alive with the grace of the god Balterus itself is a disprovement to him.”
However, things are different now.
“The count’s fate is bizarre. Because of his lineage and power, nobles fear him and worry about his possible ambitions. I am sitting in a position where it is my duty to calm their concerns.”
“Could you please elaborate? The small person is stupid, and that alone doesn’t make sense.”
Swoop.
Clara rose from her throne and walked over to Helena, who was kneeling.
“Sir Karina has received a revelation.”
“!!”
“God wants the Count’s seed. Carpe, who has received the grace of God, cannot refuse that will.”
If you want his seed, maybe the future child will be born.
“It will take root a new lineage.”
“yes. It is a matter that the four nobles may become the five nobles.”
Most of the children who have been blessed by God are bright and brilliant.
Among them, there are also children with each mysterious power.
Zervan has been famous for his good eyesight for generations, and Gradas has a good nose, so he sniffs strange things rather than smells.
Luidren has good ears, so he hears things he cannot hear, and Orvid is an eloquent speaker for generations.
It is said that the Bright Dynasty gave them a head to rule them all.
The grace of the four great nobility and the royal family is made in this way.
Last Day.
It is also thanks to God’s grace that Carpe was able to survive.
That kind of favor might be given again, but as a queen, how could I refuse it?
“okay. The nobles seem to be worried in their hearts that the child who will receive the new power is the count’s child.”
“I can’t say no.”
However, Colliers refused and was imprisoned as a result.
“This is the first time that God’s revelation has appeared since the founding of Carpe.”
Thanks to this, the nobles insist that they have to take his seed, even by force.
Since this is a matter that depends more on the fate of the country than on one person’s will, we have no choice but to force it unfortunately.
“The justification is very clear. Nothing can defy God’s will. You might as well put your mind at ease.”
The Queen, who had been whispering in Helena’s ear, got up and headed for the throne.
while climbing the stairs.
“if.”
Helena’s voice stopped the Queen in her tracks.
Stop and turn your head.
Helena looked straight ahead and said.
“If the Count had heard the conversation, he would have said it like this.”
I don’t need God’s help anymore.
“Carpe is Carpe even if there is no god. I would have said that.”
At her words, the queen’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
“I’m just going to go away.”
Even while Helena steps away.
The queen stood there, unable to move.
* * *
Shit. thud.
The door to the Great War closed, and Helena came out and let out a big breath.
“Haa…”
I ran with the Sword Saint Beast, but I couldn’t even find it.
All in all, God’s revelation came down.
At the end, he asked for reconsideration of God, but Helena saw that the odds were low.
“It’s up to the heavens what you decide.”
Some other variable must appear.
Otherwise, I saw no way out of this frustrating situation.
I have no choice but to pray that my actions will have a good effect on Colius.
“What is up in the sky?”
“!”
Someone was talking to me, so I looked and it was the fire horse Karina.
Dressed in uniform and with straight, blood-red hair hanging down, she looked as pointed and sharp as an awl.
“Sir Karina. long time no see.”
“I must have seen the Queen.”
“yes. I have heard many stories.”
Helena, grinning, twisted her wavy red hair into a twist, while Carina’s straight, waterfall-like hair was swept back.
“I guess you heard it too.”
“Congratulations. Even if you become the next great saint, there will be no shortage.”
“As long as we can defeat the empire, it doesn’t matter if it’s a saint or not. God wants to bestow grace for Carpe, but as a servant of God, is there anything I can’t do?”
Even if it was a marriage with a heartless person, Karina was saying that she was ready to accept it.
“is it so? Not me.”
“hmm? What did you say?”
“no. I hope you will become a good breeder.”
“…Are you arguing now?”
“yes? no! no way! How dare I pick a fight with one of the few Masters in Carpe. My life is a valuable corporation.”
He is smiling brightly, but his eyes are sharp.
When the momentum of the two women glaring at each other grew to the point that it weighed down the corridors of Daejeon.
Woo-woo-!!
A strong wind blew through the palace corridor.
“!”
“Divine power?”
It’s not usually divine power.
It is a holy power of high purity and powerful enough to cover the capital.
A divinity as pure as that of a saint.
Where did this sudden divine power come from?
“No way…”
Karina narrowed her eyes as she looked into the castle’s basement, and Helena recognized it right away.
“Callius!”
The source of the divine power that covered the capital is the Colius in the dungeon.
Karina and Helena, who ran straight to the dungeon, soon pushed the place full of soldiers due to phosphate.
Before long, what was visible was the figure of a man in the center, along with a wave of divinity shining in silver.
“count?”
“uh?”
Callius’ hair, which had been calmly black, had changed.
Hair turned gray the same color as the eyes.
And the divine power that it exudes is also going to change somewhere.
Besides, something in the shape of a woman was hovering around him, and the shape was blurry, like the spirit of something.
Helena and Carina waited silently for Colius to say something as he looked down at his hands inside the shattered cage.
“Is that why he was a defeated god?”
Soon, the obscure soul disappeared into his body and all the chaste divine power that had spread was sucked into Colius.
It was the birth of a new adult in Carpe.
“Not bad.”
Callius, who was about to leave the shattered prison, soon had an idea and went back inside the cage and sat down.
“Tell them that you want to see the Queen. I have something to tell you.”
Carina and Helena nodded their heads as if possessed by the words of Callius, who spoke as if he had made up his mind on something.
