Two priests who reside in the Lords Castle left with th
I didnt even listen to Ganaels sentences until the end.
I ran into the bathroom, cleaned myself, and then put on so comfortable shirt and pants before wearing my boots.
I just had warm milk and three pieces of chaussons aux poms for breakfast.
Ganael, who saw how little I ate, looked as if he might start crying at any mont.
I got ready almost instantly and stood in front of the young boy and Benjamin.
Ive packed everything. Drinking water, snacks, painkillers, clean cloths, extra clothes, ergency dagger. The crystal bell is over here. I also put the headdress in there just in case.
I picked up the bag that went across my chest as I spoke.
Ganael looked pale and Benjamin seed quite concerned as well.
The two of them were saying things like, his Royal Highness and Da Sarnez did that because they care about you, but they could not actively stop .
I did my best to relax my face that was continuously getting stiff from anger.
Even if Im weak, how could you guys go without ? Im the two of your priest partner!
Your highness, what about a guard? You cannot go by yourself.
Itll be fine because I have Sir Johann.
Ganael opened and closed his mouth without being able to say anything at my answer.
I knelt down to hug Demy, Rhea, Perry, and Tith.
Demy must have read my thoughts as he pushed on my stomach and whined.
Yes, how could I trick our boss?
You guys stay in the castle. It might be even more dangerous than during the Great Clearance.
Screeeech
Sorry. Can you stay here and protect our friends? Look after Tith as well. You can do it, right?
Whimper
Demys black bean-like eyes teared up.
It made weak but I could not get myself to tell him to co with .
It could not be helped even if soone pointed out that I was doing to them exactly as Christelle and that crown prince bastard had done to .
Even if they had amazing abilities, they were little animals that could not speak human language.
I clearly rembered how Rhea and Perry had been hiding in the corner of the reed field shaking in fear near the end of the Great Clearance of Demonic Beasts.
It would be different if I was in a situation with no choice, but I could not take the divine beasts as weapons and take them with .
I was their temporary guardian after all.
I leave it to you, Demy.
I shook hands with him and looked at Percy who was sitting on the back of my hand.
The chimney bird tilted his body and made eye contact with .
Percy, you cant co with because you are a divine item. You know that, right?
Pipi.
Yeah, I wont repeat myself since you are the smartest bird in the world.
I tickled the little guys chest and then got up.
I did make a deal with Percy but I was not his master.
Furthermore, the one who warned that sothing might happen if all of the divine items gathered together was none other than the Ark of the Wind Deity.
A serious incident might happen if Percy headed toward the Jungle where the rest of the divine items were gathered.
Ill be back soon.
Aarf
Tith let out a short cry.
I left the divine beasts and walked down the hallway before peeking into Lady Isabelles room.
It seed as if Eva was still not awake.
She was young and, unlike , didnt have experience with things like this, so she could not go with .
Please take good care of Eva.
Yes, your highness.
Where is Sir Johann?
He is probably in the lobby.
Benjamin answered in a low voice. I quickly headed toward the lobby of the tower.
I was a bit disappointed that Sir Johann did not stop the two main characters, but I decided to think that it was for the better.
I would not have had a strong person to guard if he left with them to the jungle.
Tap, tap, tap!
Good morning, Sir Johann.
Hello, your highness.
I jumped the last set of steps two at a ti.
Sir Johann, whose white hair was neatly tied down as usual, placed his hand over his chest and showed his respect.
The staff who were filling Tiths water tank with new water also bowed.
I bowed back and quickly approached the Holy Knight and rattled on.
I must ask you for this because you ca as my guard. Please take to where Da Sarnez and his Royal Highness are right now. I packed everything I need and all we need are two horses. If we ask Lord Blanquer,
Your highness, I must apologize as I am unable to do as you requested.
Sir Johann cut off in a cool tone. I was at a loss for words and looked up at him.
Ganael and Benjamin quietly sighed as if they expected this.
Your highness, do you rember when I said that there are a lot of things you dont know about Holy Knights?
Yes. Why are you suddenly bringing that up, Sir Johann?
This is one of those things.
His mint-colored eyes gently curled up.
It is understandable because you were taught by her Eminence. You should have learned that being by your partners side is the greatest duty of a priest and it is true. You can tell based on her Majesty and her Eminences relationship. It is different because their relationship is through a celestial covenant, but it is similar.
However, a Holy Knights ntality is overwhelmingly complicated and inconsistent. The way we think is different from priests.
I tightly clenched the strap of my bag. This was an unexpected developnt and I did not have ti to waste like this.
I needed to find a knight left in the castle to accompany if he was not going to cooperate with .
I said excuse and tried to walk past him and the door when-
Tap
Sir Johann moved at a speed I could not even see and got in my way. I looked at him in shock.
Sir Johann.
There is a difference in how much, but all Holy Knights are obsessed with their priest. They act overbearing to get ether from their priest but they also put their lives on the line for their priest. They also easily make irrational decisions.
Please move. I will cancel my request for you to co as my guard.
As a result, they frequently headed into battle while leaving their partners, who have no fighting abilities at all, in the rear.
His eyes beca as dark as a storm. I could not say anything.
I knew that he was talking about the Warring Era right now.
However, I got chills on my back and goosebumps all around.
It felt as if he was saying that if ti flowed and a war broke out as it did in the original, the two of them would leave behind and head into war.
That was the developnt I had wished for half a year ago. However
I will be useful. I am an Archbishop. I can say with confidence that the quality of my ether is the highest in the entire continent. I may not have any fighting abilities, but I can defend and I survived the Great Clearance of Demonic Beasts without any major injuries.
But I did not feel that way now.
I did not want those punks to get hurt or be in danger when I was not around.
Damn it. Im not even the main character. It shouldnt matter that my situation changed in half a year.
People can change their minds!
Please let go.
Da Maartje Zijlstra accompanied crown princess Elise to the Imperial Palace, right?
It was a completely unrelated story. I scowled but nodded my head.
Sir Johann continued in a cold voice.
Your highness, Im sure you know better than I do, but Da Zijlstra is a religious figure. Yet she swings around her axe and is as strong as most swordsn or mages. That is because she is a battle priest.
I didnt know. This was my first ti hearing that Maartje was sothing like a battle priest.
I clenched my teeth as I slowly started to understand what Sir Johann was trying to say.
He smiled awkwardly.
Your highness, I cannot let you go because you are not as strong as her. His Royal Highness ordered that I stay here to protect you and the castle.
*
Fuck.
Ruuuumble!
The ground started shaking from the mountain range side again.
It didnt continue to a full earthquake this ti but I saw a white flash of light from the distant sky.
I sat on the window ledge, hugged the divine beasts, and grumbled. It had been a while since I had felt such a sense of helplessness.
Of course I knew that being in the back was beneficial for my survival.
I had no plans of doing things beyond my level and dying an early death.
But still
Your highness, you only ate two plates of steak et frites? Our chefs is the best in the Empire.
Eva, who was drinking so caf au lait at the tea table, pouted.
She knew the reason, but she seed upset that I did not eat my usual amount for lunch.
I smiled bitterly and apologized. Our young Duchess imdiately changed the target.
Its the sa for you, Vice Captain lisabeths future hubby. The young Countess-nim is a Grade 8 swordswoman. Is there a need for such a look on your face? She will return without a scratch. All of the priests at our castle are healing priests.
Ganael, her sa aged friend seated on the other side, beca shocked and opened and closed his mouth without being able to say anything.
At least the young boys complexion looked better than earlier after Eva consoled him like this multiple tis.
I chuckled and looked out the window.
What Im trying to say is that I knew better than anybody else that Prince Jesse was a supporting character in QNW.
I just had to clap and say, I see, youre amazing, whenever the two of them go sowhere, gain so experience, and return after leveling up.
They would never die since they are the main characters and it would probably be rare for them to return with serious injuries as well.
My head knew that I was worrying for no reason but my heart was frustrated to the point that I could not eat very well.
I feel like I sent my kids to play by the water.
Like I said, I am going to leave.
Of course, it was concerning that I was terrible with directions.
I also knew that the soldiers here would not show any goodwill as I was the prince of the hostile kingdom on the other side of the border.
It was even understandable that this seed like an obsession.
But still, this is a bit
Your grace. To do this all of the sudden,
What do you an all of a sudden? I told the Duchess that I was going to leave last night as well.
I quickly turned my gaze. There was a commotion outside.
The knight and soldiers guarding the rear of our tower seed to be trying to dissuade soone.
An old woman wearing plain archbishop attire was with her attendant, servant, and a bunch of baggage handlers, trying to leave.
I could hear much better once I put my ear against the slightly open window.
Your grace, we would not have stopped you if you left at that ti. However, the Lords Castle is currently closed off and nobody is allowed to leave until the Duchess-nim says that it is safe. The path is dangerous, madam.
Im sure it would still be safer than the guest room. The light fell and I almost died!
She waved her Holy Staff around and raised her voice. Ganael, who had approached the window at so point, whispered to .
That is Archbishop Eugnie Kessi. Yesterday, in the plaza
I suddenly recalled an image after hearing the young boys comnt.
This is crazy business. I will be leaving.
The old woman who had pulled her jacket over her shoulders and snapped at the Duchess I blinked my eyes.
She never left?
I dont know what she is thinking, but She is that person, your highness. She is also the Archbishop who refused to et you in Srnit.
My jaws dropped on their own.
The first ti I went around my territory, I wanted to et the Archbishops of Srnit and the entire Southwestern Archdiocese.
However, she rejected it saying she was busy. Benjamin had explained that it was probably because she was keeping in check.
That was this grandma?
Please move. My ward is waiting for .
Your grace!
The knight who was placed in a complicated situation chased after her.
His figure disappeared but I could still hear him desperately asking her to please stay inside.
I was listening to it as if it had nothing to do with before I quickly snapped back to my senses.
Jackpot. This ans that there is no knight in the back right now.
Hey kids, it is your turn to perform.
I buried my face into the bundle of red pandas and whispered in a sullen voice.
Ganael and Eva both flinched.
*
Thats perfect. Our esteed divine beasts are truly the best. Oh wonderful ssengers of the Almighty God, I will continue to serve you with everything I have.
Kiiiiiii!
Squeak!
Kyuu.
Rhea, Perry, and Demy appealed their greatness one after the other.
I nodded my head like a car air freshener and hung my leg over the window.
I grabbed the bag I packed just in case, confird that the vines around were firm, and took a few deep breaths.
Benjamin, who heard the news and ca over, stood next to Ganael and watched .
Eva had gone down to the lobby first. It was so that she could distract Sir Johann.
Please dont worry. I will place a Divine Oracle on a soldier and safely enter. I will not go all the way up to where they are fighting and just check from a distance. I will co right back if the two of them seem okay.
I had no desire to act foolish and end up a nuisance.
I was planning on running away as quickly as possible if things seed off.
Please be careful, your highness.
Benjamin tightly held the vine tied to the bedpost and pleaded.
I gave him a thumbs up, smiled, and descended the wall of the tower without any hesitation.
Jung Yeseo will return in < I quit my job and ended up as a noble young lady in another world 2 >.
Tap!
My descending speed was pretty fast but my experience doing this twice in the army helped.
Mm, the tip of my nose is twitching.
Tap!
Alright, Im all the way d!
Your highness.
Mommy!
I felt my body go stiff and stopped 5 ters in the air.
I started shaking after hearing the breeze-like voice. My neck felt as if it was creaking as I turned.
Im sorry, your highness. I could not trick him. Sir Johann is extrely cunning like a white fox!
Eva, who was being carried by the Holy Knight, flailed as she shouted.
Damn it, Im back to square one!
Translators Comnts
Sir Johann is indeed a difficult boss to overco.
