chapter 4
4 – The Holy Lady
“Whoa…”
“Are you nervous?”
“Well, I haven’t seen you properly yet.”
In the past, just like my situation now
I heard that there were many cases where the wedding was held without ever seeing each other’s face.
How was the saintess born?
Half excited, half anxious, she was about to feel a headache in her head.
“hahahahaha, as expected, the Hero Eminence is also a man.”
“Sorry… Sorry.”
“No. As a man, wouldn’t that be natural? If my wife wasn’t beautiful, I would She
Wouldn’t have married her.”
Seeing as you laughed out loud at such a huge statement
The saintess seems to be doing more than average.
Otherwise, could you tell me that you would be beaten to death by her wife like that?
“As an adoptive father, I have no choice but to say such a thing, but the Holy Lady
Thirty out of ten men boast enough beauty to look back on her.”
“Really? Isn’t that a religious boost?”
“A priest of truth never lies.”
I don’t know exactly what that means, but
The feeling of swearing to tell the truth according to the doctrine of not lying is
I could understand.
At some point, I came down the stairs of the tower and entered the large castle next door.
Inside, priests wearing various clothes were busy moving.
Aren’t there clothes that fantasy priestesses would wear?
The color of the cross placed on it was slightly different.
Grey, blue, red, brown…
The male priest’s clothes were embroidered with blue threads.
“You can think of it as a hierarchy of priests and nuns. From the lowest gray, it goes up to blue, red, brown, silver, gold, and black.”
“That’s why the Pope has a cross embroidered in black.”
“By the way, His Holiness the Saint wears the only garment embroidered with gold thread in her order.”
“Is the only…Is…”
As expected, the saintess’ highest religion is different.
The only one that is the most sparkling gold color…
We walked around the castle while chatting casually.
The twinkling lights make you feel like you’re walking through St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City.
If I had gone around listening to Viva la vida, I would have developed a sense of faith that I didn’t have before.
And then, when you reach the top floor, go through the other doors.
The Pope stood in front of a rather large door.
“Go in quickly. The saintess’s eminence is waiting for you.”
“Whoa… Whoa…”
I feel like I’m going to die of nervousness when I arrive.
What would happen if the saintess suddenly saw me and said she didn’t like her and ran out?
If she gets kicked out by the saintess… She has no reason to exist, so is she death?
“Then go inside.”
“Now…Wait a minute…!”
I was going to ask for a minute, but the pope mercilessly refused.
The door was wide open.
My dog is too small to meet without preparation.
Still, the pope has already opened the door, and it would be rude to stay outside.
With my eyes closed, I slapped him on the cheek and went inside.
When I went inside, I took about three breaths and
I opened my eyes, which had been tightly closed.
“What?”
In that place that looks like a drawing room
There was only one cup that had been completely drunk, and no one was sitting there.
Could it be that it was abandoned before you even saw it?
“It looks like you haven’t come down yet.”
“That…Isn’t it?”
“Who is the crab?”
The pope summoned me as if he wanted everyone to come out.
So, a person wearing a gray cross-embroidered clothes came out and greeted me politely.
“Yes, His Holiness.”
“Where is Your Excellency?”
“You haven’t come down yet. Since it’s our first meeting, he said he’ll fix his makeup and come back..”
“Okay. Go get the tea.”
I bowed politely once more and went into the next room.
I was wondering what was going on there
Because it’s not polite to do that from a customer’s point of view.
He shook his head and sighed.
“Sorry, Yeha. You seem to be a little late.”
“It’s fortunate. I wondered if he was kicked before I even saw his face.”
“hahahahaha, didn’t you say that you don’t have to worry about that? Oops, I’m going to go now.”
As the pope was about to leave, I tried to get up too.
By the way, he smiled and told me not to get up and sit down and wait.
I quietly left the room.
Anyway, since it was our first meeting, it seemed that the two of them were paying attention to talk together.
When I first saw it, I thought it was a pseudonym…
I feel sorry for nothing.
“Yes, what would you like to drink?”
I have been apologizing to the Pope for a long time now.
Someone else came over and asked me what I would like to drink.
She had shiny silver hair and a very beautiful face.
The chest is moderately large, and the slender body is really my taste…
Hemm…
For a soon-to-be-married man to have such thoughts about another woman.
Um… I drank tea earlier…
I want to drink something sweet and soft…
“Do you have any coffee?”
“Of course I do.”
“Then I’ll ask you to add sugar and milk to the hot coffee.”
“Okay. Please wait a moment.”
Then he smiled, greeted me politely, and went into the next room.
When I saw the smiling face, my face froze in an instant.
Compared to that, the heart beats like running 100m.
He was running at a very fast pace, and his face was starting to get a little feverish.
“Whoa…”
I grabbed the neck of the shirt and fanned it like blowing a fan.
I wonder if the heater was turned on or not, and I had the illusion that hot heat was continuously radiating out.
“Isn’t the saintess pretty like that too?”
The Pope swore an oath as a priest and said he was pretty
I don’t doubt it.
By the way, the person who left earlier and the pretty noona who just came in
Why is there sweat on my forehead?
I heard that the lower priests are busy working. Is that why you’re having a hard time?
First of all, I decided to become a low-ranking priest because of my status.
What kind of work will you do?
I hope it’s not too hard.

“You waited a long time, right?”
“No. I’m in a position to get and drink.”
I scratched her head and smiled bitterly, as if giving her an answer.
As long as I can see that smile, I think I can do anything.
On the tray she brought, a rather large cup and very strong-looking coffee
And milk and sugar were placed separately.
“Why is this separate?”
“Because I haven’t heard of your preference…”
“Ah…”
I didn’t tell you how much milk and how much sugar to put in.
First of all, it seems that they came all the way to the front with the ingredients.
“I’ll do it myself, priest go in and get some rest.”
“Ah…No. How can I put the hero in front of me…”
My face suddenly turned red, so I slowly lifted up the hot coffee.
I came over here and put it on the table.
No, I would have tried to put it on the table.
It was only for a moment, so I couldn’t see it properly, but I tripped on something and fell.
By the way, the direction of the fall was the sharp corner of the table.
If the angle I calculated is correct, my head will be hit by a sharp edge.
It seemed like a major accident was about to happen.
Of course, starting to calculate all this in my head
I threw her body to catch her, and her hot coffee spilled on my back.
It was when I started to feel the pain of being torn apart.
“Keep it off……”
A moaning sound came out automatically.
I’ve had minor burns before, but it didn’t hurt as bad as this.
As expected, is it different from thick elbows and soft, sensitive backs?
I began to think that I might die from shock.
“Uh…..!! Guess…Are you okay? Uh…Maybe…”
She was momentarily taken aback, with tears flowing from her eyes.
First of all, I started to pull down my top and bottom, which were soaked with hot coffee.
Wouldn’t it be a big deal if I showed this to the saintess?
No, her husband might die, but I will forgive her.
It’s already happened, and I need to calm down this pretty sister.
I’m the one who got burned, but why does it seem like it hurts more?
“I’m second…Is your sister getting burned anywhere?”
“I…I…”
“Haa…”
I was surprised by the sudden cold liquid running down my back.
The priest’s sister had splashed the cold milk she had brought earlier on her back.
I was surprised to feel the sudden coldness, but as my back cooled down, I started to feel the pain numb.
The pain started to lessen gradually.
“This .. At this time she left her wand…!”
“Does your sister know how to use magic?”
She started trying to carry on the conversation, though she said she had gotten a little older.
Nevertheless, this time she even hiccups and sees her shedding her tears profusely.
She smiled slightly and gently wiped her tears with her hand.
“But…Why do you look tired…”
“Now…You can’t go to sleep! Hey…Hey! Is anyone there!”
She shouted loudly, and several people came in from outside her.
It was the older sister I saw at first, and a man wearing white armor.
“Saint Empress! What the hell is going on…”
“I accidentally spilled coffee on Seo-Boo! Go ahead and move to the infirmary!”
“Yes, Yeha!! I will follow your orders…”
“I can do that later, so come on!!”
Then, I was picked up by a man in armor who ran this way.
I couldn’t overcome the pressure that gradually made my eyelids heavy and fell asleep.
The last thing I saw before going to sleep. It was the face of a pretty older sister who was shedding tears with a more severe expression than before.
By the way, didn’t you say something like Saint Yehani earlier?
