173 – More members?!

“Ugh….”

Cult headquarters. The deepest and most important place there too. The abode of brilliance.

There, the pope was groaning as he wrapped his forehead differently than usual.

“Please, His Holiness the Pope. I beg your permission!”

This has never happened before. For the saintess to express her will so forcefully.

You can tell just by looking at his eyes or voice. I won’t back down until you give me permission.

“North. I would like to visit Baron John Nassen.”

It was too sudden. Even the north is embarrassing, and even the territory of Baron John Nassen.

What kind of place is that? It is a place where the influence of the church has not reached at all.

This is a place where the church refused to reach out to the end. Are you not interested in religion?

I told him not to visit me because he didn’t feel the need to talk.

The imperial family also actively discouraged the church from going too far.

Actually, the church didn’t feel that much attraction about it.

A place that has faith in God, praises its existence, and tries to establish a friendly relationship with the church.

Of course, the church has no choice but to pay more attention to such a place.

“Your Holiness. The saintess is requesting an interview again.”

But for some reason, the saintess revealed her will that she kept wanting to go to her barony.

She continued to ask for an interview like she had never had before.

“Let it go.”

As soon as the pope’s order fell, the door guarded by the knights opened.

A saintess with a resolute expression appeared beyond it, and she often stepped forward.

“His Holiness the Pope. His Holiness came again to seek her will.”

It feels like a small child whining and shouting.

The difference is that she is a saint and has never been like that before.

Since she was very young, she has been designated as a saint and has been in charge of dirty work.

She certainly had a lot of things that would have been hard for a young child to bear.

But she, the saintess, has never once complained about him. She

She didn’t flirt, saying it was difficult, and she didn’t even sit back saying she couldn’t do it. She

She said she wanted to do something and she said strongly that she never said anything.

‘Except for this moment.’

The Pope looked at the saintess standing in front of her with a puzzled expression.

“This is a bit sudden. Why do you want to go north, to Baron John Nassen?”

“It is to inform the will of God.”

“It is God’s will. Saintess. The people there are not very interested in God’s will. Do you know?”

“I know.”

“You still want to go. What a strange thing.”

“I learned that just because you don’t believe doesn’t mean you give up.”

That’s right. Isn’t that why the church also goes through missionary activities?

The problem is that there are those who respond to the missionary work and those who do not.

There are places where something can be achieved through propagation, and there are places where it cannot be done.

And from all angles, the Baron’s Territory was a place where nothing could be done.

“Mmm.”

After looking around for a while, the pope gestured for her saint.

As the saintess approaches, she beckons her to come closer.

“You all leave.”

“His Holiness?”

“I want only this old man and saintess to remain here.”

The paladins, who hesitated for a moment, bowed their heads.

This is an order from the pope. And what remains is the pope and the saint.

There is no need to worry unnecessarily. Nothing will happen

Koo Goong -.

The knights who were standing guard and the priests next to them all came forward.

Now, only the Pope and the Saint were left here.

“Come on. Now speak comfortably.”

“His Holiness the Pope?”

“Tsk tsk. Saintess. As you get older, you become unnecessarily quick-witted. If it was truly for the will of God, there was no way they would push forward like this.”

“….”

“There is no need to be shy. The human heart is a gift from God. Never cheat, force, or hinder it. Doesn’t the saintess also know the teachings of the church?”

The pope with a benevolent smile looks at the saintess and continues her words.

“Is that Kyle’s brother?”

“Yes?!”

The startled saintess hurriedly raised her head.

A reason to ask back no, and a nature that cannot bear to tell lies.

As the two collided, he was finally drawing a woman’s expression of that age.

“Oh no! No. His Holiness! Me, that’s me!”

“It wasn’t really.”

She is a saint whom I have seen since childhood. He knows exactly what kind of expression he makes when he says something.

She can’t lie. When I’m upset, I’m crossing my hands like that.

“Didn’t you tell me? The human heart is a gift from God. Nobody says anything about it.”

“Yeah….”

“I heard that the academy is on vacation. The students who were there will return to their home for two months. Two months. For some it will be a very short time, and for others it will be a very long time.”

It seemed that the pope already knew who that “Who” Meant.

However, the saintess, who is still unfamiliar with this kind of thing, just waits until she gathers a little more courage.

“… Me, actually. His Holiness’ words… No, that’s right.”

“Am I right?”

“I want to meet Brother Kyle… Oh me! Not only that, Your Holiness! I mean, I’d like to get Brother Kyle’s opinion on what it would be like for the Church to reach out to the Baronies as well!”

She is a saint who conveyed her sincerity to Kyle, but revealing her feelings to others is another matter.

He is the Pope I have known for a very long time. It’s like his family.

It’s embarrassing to be honest with someone close to you.

So he kept coming up with answers that were different from what he thought.

‘You look impatient. Is it that urgent?’

I saw a lot of men missing women and women missing men.

Since you were born as a human being, it is only natural for you to have love. I have no idea what to say about it.

However, in the case of the saintess, I could see that she was strangely nervous and in a hurry.

“Okay. During the academy vacation, it wouldn’t be bad for the church to lend a helping hand to Baron John Nassen. Holy woman, you represent the church, show the spirit of friendship and come.”

“Ah! Thank you thank you! Thank you, His Holiness the Pope!”

She smiled broadly and was a saint whom I liked like a child.

The pope, who told me to go and prepare at such a time, sends her saint.

After watching the saintess disappear for a while, he called a paladin.

“Did you call, His Holiness?”

“Go and call the commander of the Knights of St. Elfleda.”

“You mean Captain Priscilla? Okay. I will bring you right away.”

The paladin nodded and stepped back. And after a while

“Your Holiness. I am the commander of the Knights of St. Elpleda.”

“Come in.”

The door opens and Priscilla steps inside.

Raising her salute to the pope, she cautiously approached him.

“Your Holiness. I heard you were looking for me.”

“Yes. That’s because I want to ask you something. If you know anything, tell me honestly.”

“Is it possible or not?”

“It’s about a saint.”

Priscilla puts on a look that she knew she would.

The most important of her duties is escorting her saintess.

Except for her special case, she always stands by her saintess.

If the pope called him personally, it must have something to do with him.

“She said that the saintess would head north to the territory of Baron John Nassen, did she know?”

“Yes. I know.”

“I just gave permission for the job. She even sent me off to say goodbye.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. But I mean There was a strange impatience on her saintly face.”

“Ah.”

“The knight commander called to see if he knew anything about him.”

What should I do with this? Shall I speak the truth to the Holy Father?

She was briefly conflicted, but she soon came to her conclusions.

In a situation where the pope has already noticed, there is no way to get rid of it by saying he doesn’t know.

Thinking that the saintess would understand, she carefully opened her mouth.

“Actually, you received a letter a few days ago.”

“It’s a letter. Who was the letter from?”

“It was sent by the 5th princess. It was a letter saying that she was going north.”

“… 5Th princess?”

“Yes.”

The pope asked what the 5th princess had to do with the saint.

I know he’s a friend. But what does that have to do with this?

Could the princess go and follow her? Does she even need a friend?

“I don’t quite understand.”

Alas, Priscilla sighed at the Pope’s words.

Anyway, the Pope seemed to need a little more detailed explanation.

“… Ahhh!!”

After a while, after hearing Priscilla explain the situation, the pope let out a sigh.

Our poor saintess. Turns out she was fighting a pretty tough fight.

*

‘You allowed it. His Holiness, finally.’

Returning to her place, the saintess let out a sigh of relief as if she was relieved.

A word of permission came from the pope’s mouth. Convincing him, the Cardinals automatically pass.

All that’s left is to get ready and head north.

‘Isn’t it too late yet?’

The saintess took her seat and picked up something that was on her table.

It was a letter sent by none other than the 5th princess, Julika.

– Holy Lady. I go north –

She was a princess who threw away all appearances and wrote the main story.

I know exactly where north means. Until there, nothing happened.

Because the princess went to Baron John Nassen’s territory several times by order of the emperor.

The saintess thought that she would go for that reason again this time.

Until you read the next part.

– I’ll probably stay there for two months. –

For a moment, she thought she was wrong. All two months? Two months?

Two months, doesn’t that mean the entire academy vacation?

Are you going to Baron John Nassen’s territory for that long? What could this mean!

‘Brother Kyle!’

It was the moment when the light fell on the instep.

‘I don’t have time to delay. If it’s the princess’s personality, she’s a palace guard and a special officer. Putting everything aside, she’s the kind of person who’ll start right away. If I don’t leave soon, it’s too late!’

For that reason, I had asked the Pope for permission a few days ago.

And today. She finally got permission from the pope to leave.

‘Brother Kyle will like it, right? … Oh, should I tell you in advance that I’m going?’

I don’t think it would be rude to visit too suddenly.

But on the other hand, I also felt that I wanted to surprise Kyle.

Wouldn’t that be okay? Brother Kyle likes me too, and my father looks good on me too.

It may be a little rude, but I want to see you surprised.

Conflicting over what to do, the saintess eventually decided to act as her heart directed.
