My villains, episode 298,
54. Paladin (6)
“…I’m a bit worried.”
Theodora’s pale green eyes twinkled at the words she spat while pretending to hesitate.
“I’m worried. What do you an?”
“As the princess said, the saint left … a revelation.”
“timing?”
“yes. That’s what the cathedral knight, Lord Kabar, said.”
The gongnyeo, who was lost in thought with a ‘hmm’, soon smiled. I secretly swallowed my saliva at the sight of the green daffodils as if they were budding.
“That is an interesting story. To think he left a revelation to a knight he had never seen in his life instead of priests close to him.”
“…Hmm. So, before we continue, I would like to get one promise.”
“Tell .”
“Please keep the secret.”
I tried to put on a serious expression and continued.
“There must be a reason why the Holy Son left the revelation to . So I see this revelation as a kind of calling.”
“is it. You are carrying a very heavy burden.”
“Because it was completely my duty, I did not inform the priests of the Church of Elganore, including Lord Kabar, of the details.”
“…What about the clergy of the Church of El Ganore? Does that an you’re going to reveal the details of the revelation to others, say the priests of the Cult of Calandari?”
“yes. To be precise, I’m going to inform only the princess.”
Ichae stood in the round eyes.
“It’s not like they’re giving special treatnt. May I ask why?”
“I heard that you exchanged correspondence with the saint.”
“exactly. Concerned about the dark clouds over the continent, I asked the saint for advice.” “At the end of the letter, I also heard that the Holy Son called the princess to discuss sothing closely. ”
Theodora nodded in agreent, and I slowly held out my left hand.
“Then, so of the revelations that were passed on to might have been the princess’s share.”
“…if it’s mine?”
“Let’s take a look.”
And rolled up my sleeves
Ugh.
The band of light around the wrist, or the ‘dinsional seal’, lit up the room. A mysterious rainbow, like a colored prism illuminated, fell over Theodora’s astonished face.
“Magic? No, it’s not mana.”
“Hold your hand.”
“hand?”
“I will show you. The revelation given to .”
What is contained in my dinsional seal is the quasi-dinsional ‘dream territory’. Since this originated from the fantasy world, the magic power emitted by the dinsional seal also belonged to the fantasy world.
The magic that makes dreams and fantasies co true is sothing that is rarely seen in middle-earth. Theodora, a powerful paladin, also swallowed in a gulp at the unfamiliar magical power.
“Are you scared?”
“…No way. Only the Lord is the sword of light and can terrify the anointed.”
After saying that as if she had promised herself, the princess sighed and took off her gloves. I had felt it before, but it was a small, white hand that I couldn’t imagine being a knight’s.
“Whoa.”
She wanted to stretch out her hand boldly, then stopped and opened her mouth.
“…Well, I still want to know what this is.”
The big eyes shake like those of a young deer. A soft and gentle face that had been hidden behind a thick surcoat and a strict tone of stern status suddenly appeared.
I reassured her by sublimating the bursting out laugh into a gentle smile.
“It’s nothing special. Rest assured that no harm will be done.”
“…I see.” Theodora clasped and opened her small hand a few tis, then nodded.
“I will believe you. You, the knight of the maternal class and the guardian of the holy land.” Imdiately after shaking off her hesitation, she grabbed my hand.
Goooooooong-
Black smoke rose from the strip of light following the bizarre tallic sound as if marbles were rolling on a tray.
“Ah-”
Even holding hands resolutely, Theodora was surprised by the strange tactile performance for a mont.
“Wait a minute, this is it!”
Theodora made a shrieking noise and tried to back away, but I wouldn’t let go of her tightly gripped hand.
“Don’t worry, just stay still.
” “But uh lord-”
The black smoke took the shape of a disc. And just before Theodora could scream in earnest, the disc engulfed the two of us.
The world turned upside down.
Theodora was thrown into the wide blue sky.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
She closed her eyes tightly and scread at the strong wind that brushed her ears and the feeling of floating that shook her waist. “
Seriously
Princess ”
As Theodora scread in succession, Phoenix, who was flying above the clouds holding her hand, gave a small wry smile.
However, that bitter smile was short-lived. As the owner of this quasi-dinsional circle, he had an obligation to calm down this precious guest.
“It’s okay, just calm down!”
“Ahhh-”
Theodora trembled as Phoenix lightly tapped the back of her white hand. Then he hurriedly groped for both hands and grabbed his forearms.
“It’s okay, Princess. This is just a dream.”
“Ugh, you?” “This is Phoenix. There’s nothing wrong, just open your eyes.”
Before the words were finished, the princess shouted in a half-crying voice, her closed eyelids trembling.
“What the hell did you do to !”
“I invited the princess to the revelation left by the Holy Son in my dream.”
In the midst of the sound of the strong wind, Phoenix soothed her with a soft and calm tone. Theodora slowly regained her sanity and opened her eyes slightly.
“Ah.”
A groan mixed with admiration and fear.
The two of them were falling through a cloud like fine cotton. The blue sky was turning black.
Fortress houses and villages seed smaller than millet rice. The fields of golden wheat and the thread-like road passing through them filled his vision. Light and darkness intersect.
“Ha ha.”
The noble paladin who had lived half her life as a nun was completely srized by the majestic sight.
The green jade-like eyes under her eyelashes were wide open as she rembered the scenery below.
“Princess.”
Theodora slowly turned her head at the soft voice that ca again. Under the night sky full of moon and stars, a man’s black eyes were playfully twinkling.
“Are you all right now?”
Seeing that dreamy figure, she forgot to breathe for a mont and opened her mouth in a daze. Theodora realized that she was gripping the man’s forearm with both hands only after he filled his light green eyes.
“…ah.”
“sorry. I didn’t an to surprise you, but I think I made a mistake.”
She tried to let go of Phoenix’s arm, but quickly added strength to her grip. They say they are falling slowly like feathers, but it is because they are still floating above the far-off sky.
“What the hell happened to this? No *turned off* What kind of harmony?” Looking at Theodora, who was flustered and correcting her tone, Phoenix asked with a small smile.
“As I said, it is in my dream and at the sa ti it is a revelation left by the Holy Son.”
The cold impression had a warm smile, and the sharp eyes had a soft gaze. The contradictory handso man raised his hand and pointed to the ground.
“Look over there.”
As if his heart had moved to the palm of his hand, Theodora was suffering alone because of the strong pulse that touched Phoenix’s bare forearm. She prayed inwardly, seeking composure, then looked down in surprise at Phoenix’s words.
“I am the saint.”
” what?”
In the middle of a wheat field stood a tall old man. An old man with a gentle impression, with an impressively rich white beard revealed under a gray hood.
“Is that the saint?”
“yes.”
“O uh ” —丁That.
Although it was the first ti she had actually seen it, she was imdiately convinced that the old man was Saint Abel. This is because the divine aura of the old man was clearly transmitted even from a distance.
Then the old man who had been standing still turned his head to one side.
“This is just the beginning. Take a good look.”
As soon as Phoenix’s words were finished, the voice of the saint’s gaze ca from the place where the saint’s gaze was directed. Theodora hurriedly turned her head toward it and gasped.
A snake with black shiny scales, huge enough to devour quite a few buildings at once, was crawling sowhere, winding its way through the wheat field.
“That’s…
“.”
“…Lord Phoenix?”
“The saint said so. I am a black snake.”
By the ti a question appeared in Theodora’s eyes, the huge snake had crawled up to the feet of the two floating in the air and was hissing its red tongue.
“Isn’t that a monastery?”
“you’re right.”
A snake climbed over a steep cliff like a fence and reached the Seteniora Monastery. The snake wrapped itself in a coil as huge as its body and wrapped itself around the monastery.
“…a snake guards the monastery. It’s like a wonder.”
“Next it’s the princess’s turn.”
“my turn?”
At that mont, a bright light began to emanate from her body.
“Ugh, this.”
Despite the pure white golden light that could burn away the retina, Phoenix said calmly while holding Theodora’s hand.
“also. It must have symbolized the princess.”
True to his word, Theodora shone like the sun, dispelling the darkness that had fallen over the monastery and its surroundings.
“symbol? Are you saying there was sothing symbolizing in the Holy Son’s revelation?”
“yes. It was the sun rising from the west.”
“The sun rising from the west… ” “
This is one of the reasons I am sharing this revelation with you .”
“One of the reasons? Are there other reasons?”
“yes. Let’s see.”
Zeng!
One side of the ground folded with a strange roar like a stone breaking. The scenery of a distant place ca as if it were falling right in front of .
Uh-Hung!
“Ugh!”
Theodora frowned at the unexpected roar. In one corner of her gaze, a young lion sporting a silver mane was roaring at the approaching shadow.
“I am Prince Ulkar.”
“…Yes, I see. silver lion. As a symbol of a maternal uncle, there is nothing more suitable than that.”
“yes. This is another reason for presenting this revelation to the princess.”
The sticky undulating shadow soon beca a wave and swallowed the lion.
“this!”
Theodora raised her divine power without realizing it. As if in response, the radiance that radiated from her body increased its montum, but the shadow that flowed like a river did not budge.
“How about that-”
“It’s not over yet, focus!” This
ti
, there was a sound like thin glass breaking. Monastery, black snake, lion, golden wheat fields, shadows, etc., the scenery scattered like dust in all directions. The light that Theodora had emitted was also extinguished.
Instead, a faint silver glow flowed from far away. At the sa ti, an unprecedented power
surged.
“Ughhh!”
“it’s okay.” The two rushed sowhere as if they were being sucked in. Theodora shrank again, but did not helplessly close her eyes. It was thanks to the fact that Phoenix’s arm wrapped tightly around her shoulder reassured her.
The mont passed like an eternity. The two flew in front of a small open window between the hard stone walls. It was the very place from which the silvery light emanated. In the window
sat a mysterious woman, or a girl .
A girl with a white kerchief wrapped around her nun’s uniform, revealing only her small face. Her bright navy blue eyes looked out the window, but she seed unable to see Phoenix and Theodora.
“….Yuril?”
“yes?”
Phoenix was startled and turned to Theodora. Facing the girl in the nun’s uniform, the paladin’s eyes were wide open.
“Do you know who that girl is?”
“Everyone knows. It’s been the first ti in 10 years, but how can you not recognize my lovely young aunt Yuril? To see it here…
“Young aunt? If so”
Theodora’s father is the older brother of Elector Avillambus, Duke of Topal, and her mother is the daughter of Lionel III, King of Milanol. Recalling that fact, Phoenix narrowed his brows slightly.
“So you an that girl is a princess?”
“exactly. The fourth princess and the only daughter of Her Highness Queen Bessen.”
“…Queen of Bessen?”
“Yes, Her Highness, Queen Bessen. The mother of Prince Ulkar!”
Phoenix widened his eyes and looked back at the girl. Looking back, the indigo blue eyes reminiscent of blue topaz were exactly like Ulkar’s.
“Ulkar’s brother? Then, this revelation—”
When Yuril and Phoenix t their eyes, all the elents that made the dream co true were crumbled and scattered with the sound of glass breaking again. The solid stone walls and windows, as well as the glass, disappeared in an instant.
“Sir this!” “…the dream is over. I have to go back now”
Phoenix, who had reassured the surprised Theodora, looked back at her and stiffened up like a person whose heart had stopped. It was because Theodora, like the other elents around her, was being scattered and turned into powder.
No, it wasn’t scattered.
Theodora’s white face with her platinum hair and light green eyes was scattered, revealing a new face.
“sister?”
“sister?”
The voice was the sa. Not a nervous yet warm voice, but a gentle but firm voice.
“What are you talking about? Co to your senses sir!”
At her prompting, Phoenix gasped and blinked. In the next mont, it was Theodora, not Kim Soo-yeon, who was holding onto his forearm.
“kyung? Sir Phoenix!”
“…Ugh, sorry, I have to go back.”
Phoenix quickly raised its mana. A belt of light dinsional seal flashed on his left wrist.
As if responding to the owner’s urgent heart, the black smoke emitted from the dinsional seal took the form of a disk in an instant and swallowed the two.
The dream is over.
