44 – God whispers, get some exercise

Time flies, the weekend is finally here.

Until now, the wait was a mix of anticipation and worry.

I am hopeful because of the invitation of the saintess, and I am worried about the situation inside the church.

‘Still, it’s better than a saint. Could there be worse people?’

Isn’t it said that training to hear the voice of God is quite arduous?

The priests said that they did not mind any path of asceticism.

It was just because our saintess was so precious, Kyle thought.

“Are you ready!? Brother Kyle?”

She is a very beautiful saint with a full smile on her face.

The reason why I laugh so much is that I am very happy to be able to take a precious guest to the church.

To be honest, even Kyle himself tilts his head at the part of being a precious guest.

Isn’t that what a saintess is like, she concluded roughly.

“Yes. I’m ready. But can I really go?”

“Don’t worry. I do not reject them just because they are not members of the church.”

It seems that the saintess slightly misunderstood Kyle’s concerns.

She’s not a religious person, so she’s not a believer.

But that’s not what Kyle is worried about right now.

Because I’m not a religious person, I’m not a believer, it’s not like that.

I was worried that Kyle himself was ‘John Nassen’.

‘Although the academy is under the direct control of the imperial family, it is not a place where the emperor actually resides, so how can I pass it on? However, speaking of the church the saintess wants to go to….’

Cult headquarters. Yes, there is only one there.

There’s no way the saintess could be at the branch, and she has a headquarters not far from the academy.

What kind of people are there? There is a pope. There are cardinals. There are all the important figures of the church!

Bringing the second son of a family with a history of half-destroying the academy to such a place?

No matter how safe they are, even if they are really nice and kind-hearted, they are subject to special alert.

To be honest, I’m glad I didn’t register for the blacklist.

Anyway, the church must have reacted very badly.

When the saintess came forward and said that she was her guest, she might have accepted it.

Kyle thought so and headed towards the place where her carriage was waiting.

“By the way, Brother Kyle.”

“Yes. Tell me, saintess.”

“Are you really that strong?”

“Yes?”

“I delivered a letter to the denomination announcing Brother Kyle’s visit. And I got a letter saying permission yesterday, and I sent a few notes there.”

And then, the saintess handed Kyle a letter with the precautions written on it.

Did the word “Strong” Suddenly appear because of what was written on it?

– First point. Never get excited

– The second point. Do not crush or damage as objectionable.

– The third point. No running or other violent behavior.

– Fourth point. Avoid proximity to breakable glass.

“….”

What kind of beagle am I? Even the brain is a muscle?! Break, break, break, what?!

Do you think I’m going to have an accident? I’m going to be invited Get invited!

Since I was dumbfounded, I was just watching, so the saintess smiled embarrassingly.

“Isn’t that a bit strange? I was a bit taken aback when I saw it… I think the members of the church reacted sensitively for no reason because of Brother Kyle’s family or because of the brother’s duel that took place not too long ago.”

At the saintess’ words, Kyle licked his lips.

She honestly thought it was a bit unreasonable for her to break the sword with her bare hands.

Still, I strained as much as I could and only broke the sword, but if anyone sees it, they’ll think everyone broke it as well.

“I don’t think I am that strong.”

“No way! I heard you sparred with the 5th princess before!”

Was it sparring? Do you think it was just a one-sided quarrel?

“The 5th Princess. So, did you know that Yulica is in the top 10 of the Empire?”

“Of course… I knew. Yes. I know.”

Actually, I first knew about it the day we bumped into each other, but let’s move on quietly.

“Because I am a little close to the 5th princess. That day, too, she met the 5th Princess, who usually always puts on a boring and sullen expression, but she had a different expression than the day she competed with Brother Kyle. She looks very satisfied and refreshed.”

“….”

Of course it should. Because she herself only attacked very hard.

This side is blocking the attack without knowing why, I couldn’t even counterattack in case I had an accident!

“From my point of view, saintess. It’s not because I’m strong, but because of my sister.”

“Why is your sister suddenly?”

“Even the saintess would know? The incident when my sister destroyed the academy in half.”

“What does that have to do with Brother Kyle now?”

“It does matter. After all, I am John Nassen.”

Ah, the saintess at Kyle’s words! She does and sighs.

It is John Nassen who destroys even the academy, which is under direct control of the imperial family.

Would you be careful that that crazy fighting race is the headquarters of the Church? Can it be

I wondered if that was the reason why the members of the church reacted with disdain.

However, the saintess immediately tilted her head and opened her mouth slowly.

“Denominations are different. I don’t attack my brothers and sisters with useless words.”

The reason why the imperial family acquiesced even though Leah destroyed the academy.

It turned out that some of her crazies had already been provoking her all along.

Those who thought John Nassen’s reputation was exaggerated, or those who believed his bravery was courage.

Even among them was the second son of the Grand Duke of Littorio.

They ended up breaking a taboo that John Nassen would never tolerate.

The emperor and the imperial family took that into consideration and ended the case by releasing only Leah.

‘It seems to me that it wasn’t just the emperor’s mercy.’

First of all, John Nassen was the place where the Emperor himself came forward and persuaded him.

The madmen who had been fighting the Empire on their own were brought into the Empire’s fence by the Emperor.

John Nassen is an emperor’s achievement that no one else has accomplished in terms of territorial expansion.

There’s one more thing. Kyle believed that the emperor was secretly keeping the Grand Duchess in check.

So, even though the second son of the grand duke is injured, let’s go quietly.

Thanks to that, the Grand Duchess of Litto Rio remained silent even though one of his heirs was injured.

Anyway, the saintess mentioned the difference between then and now.

The members of the church do not commit disrespect like the academy students of the time.

So, just because it’s John Nassen, I don’t think there’s any reason to go crazy like back then.

“Perhaps members of the church will be relieved when they see Brother Kyle! Go quickly!”

She was a saint who grabbed Kyle’s hand and led him to the carriage.

“Mr. Elga.”

She went out for a short walk and sat on her bench to rest. She

She turned her head slightly at the sound of Leto’s voice calling her from behind.

“Yes, Leto. Why?”

“Are you really okay?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I would like to ask if you want to fight in earnest over the position of her successor.”

At those words, Elgar looked at Leto quietly.

“You already know what I mean.”

“I know. That’s why I’m worried about it. If something like this happens to me….”

“Why do you care about that? That’s something for me and my brother to worry about.”

“That….”

“You would say this. It’s dangerous. So will I be safe if I give up the anti-airship? No matter how you look at it, it seems more dangerous to be pushed out of the successor position. Am I wrong?”

Leto did not respond to Elgar’s words. She just kept her silence.

In the past, Elgar would have thrown out a word. Aren’t you mine

But now I’ve given up. She gave up He is just one subordinate.

Something more than loyalty. I can’t be that kind of existence that will guide me to a new path.

“It wakes up soon.”

Saying that to Leto, Elgar stood up from her seat and moved her steps.

The academy had a very quiet atmosphere during the weekend.

Some use weekends to go to their parents’ homes, while others go out to nearby cities for drinks.

Someone goes to the library to study, while others rest in their room.

Academy’s weekend is like this. Not too long ago, it was noisy because it was Victory Day.

‘… Yes?’

Suddenly, I noticed a familiar figure from the front.

‘That man… Kyle?’

The reason Elgar tilted her head. It was because, at first glance, Kyle’s outfit was streetwear.

Where do you suddenly go on the weekend? It seems like you just exercised every time.

When I think of that, I suddenly get curious from the depths of my heart.

Beside Kyle is someone wearing a hood, but it’s not Tisha.

Because the other person was too short to be Tisha.

‘Who are you?’

As soon as such curiosity arises, my gait speeds up without my knowledge.

Even when Leto called him from behind, Elgar didn’t stop.

“Kyle.”

As expected, the one who turned his head when his name was called was Kyle.

Perhaps he was surprised by the sudden appearance of Elgar, but his expression showed a bit of embarrassment.

“Mr. Elga?”

“Are you going out?”

“Yes. I have a place to go for a while.”

“I see. The person next to you….”

For a moment, Elgar’s eyes widened.

A person she could never have imagined was standing next to Kyle.

‘Saint? Why is that woman next to Kyle?’

I can’t even grasp the situation properly.

In the meantime, Kyle shocks her once again.

“You are a saint. Actually, I was invited to the church by this person.”

“Invite… I received it. As a denomination.”

As Kyle nodded, Elgar involuntarily clenched her fist.

Tisha is, yes. No matter how close they seemed, a little jealousy was everything.

Because if she really fights over Kyle anyway, she can predict her victory.

But the denomination is different, and the saintess is different. Even myself is a tough opponent.

This wasn’t just jealousy. Sense of crisis. Yes, this was a sense of crisis.

‘Why, why?! Why are you going to the church with the saintess?!’

It was Elgar, biting her lip, glaring at the petty saintess.
