My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Stuck as a pawn

Eren stepped out of the shower, appearing to be a little too well dressed. Zia was still curious about the mark on Eren's arm but because of him getting dressed, she couldn't see it anymore.

She wondered just what was the significance of that mark for Eren that he would get it imprinted on his arm. She was completely unaware that it wasn't there until yesterday.

She wanted to ask Eren about it but he had already ignored her question once. If he didn't feel comfortable talking about it, she didn't question him.

Unlike Zia, Yu Lin didn't have even the slightest of curiosity for so reason. She just occasionally looked at Eren, holding a aningful gaze that she lowered whoever Eren was looking towards her.

From that point on, none of them talked about the mark that had appeared on Eren's arm.

"Shall we take a walk outside? It's not often that we co to the Holy City," Eren told the two ladies who imdiately agreed.

The three of them soon stepped out of their rooms, imdiately growing surprised to see the number of guards stationed outside.

Unlike before, there were just too many guests this ti. For a mont, Eren even thought that they were here to capture them but there was no hostility. They were simply observing him.

From the back, an old man stepped forward. "Greetings to the Eastern Envoys. I believe we haven't t before. I am Yen, the Minister of War of the Holy Empire."

"It's a pleasure to et you, Minister of War." Eren responded with a calm deanor before asking, "May I ask why you have gathered so many guards there? I hope the Minister of War isn't planning on going to war with us."

"I don't believe I would ever have that opportunity." Instead of refuting Eren's words, the Minister of War answered in a straightforward manner as if he was actually disappointed that he couldn't.

The Minister of War turned around without saying anything else. The other guards cleared the path for him.

Although he didn't tell Eren to follow him, the aning behind his actions was clear.

Eren followed the old man, accompanied by the two won.

"Sothing important was stolen last night. The stolen object holds great significance to the Holy Empire. I suppose you wouldn't know anything about that?" The Minister of War asked, without looking back at Eren.

"Sothing was stolen? What?"

Eren was just as confused as everyone else. This ti, he didn't steal anything. Was there soone else in the Holy City who was able to ss with the Holy Empire to this extent?

He was also curious about the item that was stolen. If the Holy Empire reacted like this, then he could only imagine the importance of the item that was stolen.

"You are the only outsider that entered the Holy City yesterday and sothing like this happened. Isn't it an interesting coincidence?" The Minister of War asked, his presence becoming fainter with each passing second to the point that Eren couldn't even hear the sound of his footsteps.

"Are you doubting ?" Eren asked, rubbing his forehead in frustration.

There were tis when he did sothing himself but no one could doubt him because he used a false persona. anwhile, this ti he didn't do anything and the suspicions were already on him?

Now he finally understood what the Sea Dragon Empress must have felt when she took the bla for his actions without even realizing.

"I simply called out a coincidence. Why did you think I was doubting you? Unless you also think that makes sense?" The Minister of War exclaid, his words carrying a hidden aning beneath.

For the first ti, Eren felt a slight hint of killing intent. It wasn't coming from one person either. He felt more people that were clearly hiding in the surroundings.

"I hope you won't do anything that you might regret. So things have far reaching consequences." Eren told the man, coming to a halt.

He also sent a signal to Zia to protect Yu Lin, telling her that it might be ti for them to beco enemies of the Holy Empire.

"Unfortunately I know the consequences far too well. That's exactly why you need to die." The Minister of War ca to a halt as well, his voice barely audible. A sword appeared in his hand that shone brightly.

The sword looked like a treasure from the North as it was using Mana. There was not even the slightest trace of the Holy Aura as if intentional.

"And here I was looking forward to so sightseeing..." Eren scratched the back of his head, calling forth a sword as well.

He didn't want to beco a pawn in the ga between the Holy Emperor and the Priestess but it has actually co to this.

Although he expected the Holy Priestess to do sothing to fra the Emperor, he didn't expect it to be this deliberate.

If the highest ranking subordinate of the Holy Emperor attacked the envoys from the East with a Mana weapon, that was enough to link him to the Northern Empire.

There was already a flaw in the disappearance of the previous envoys from the East. How would the Northern Empires know where they were going and at what ti?

The only ones knowing you were the Holy Church who sent the invitation and the Demon Sect which accepted.

That was the only thing that linked the Holy Church to this disappearance. However, if the Holy Emperor was proven to be a traitor, the leak of information could be explained.

In any case, it was far too crude to be the plan of the Holy Emperor even if he was possessed. If that man actually ca after reading the novel, there was no way that he was going to be foolish enough to think that the Minister of War could kill two great elders.

It was more like a suicide mission for an extre fanatic. And whenever Eren thought about Fanatic Followers, he could only think of one person.
