    Episode 194 – Princess, Ariana Crowfield 7 –

    Whether he was a vampire or not, what we had to do was the same.

    We must ultimately be acquitted through him.

    This is some kind of political fight.

    Even if the justification is lacking, if you lose power, you are ultimately guilty.

    The best way to prevent that is.

    Paradoxically, we just respond with the same force.

    That was why we wanted to send him away.

    “… What happened? It seems quite urgent.”

    “As you know, Seonghwangcheong is not in good condition. That’s why the vampires attacked, and you could have a chance too.

    Unlike in the past, the saints of Seonghwangcheong are not leisurely enough to eradicate internal corruption. In the end, darkness fell on Seonghwangcheong.”

    “In the end, even Seonghwangcheong… ”

    “Of course, if it were just that much, I could have just skipped it. But something else was holding me back. The darkness is targeting me. Declaration of judgment for heresy. They are trying to keep me in check by claiming that I am a heretic.”

    Fluttering~

    I took out the Heresy Judgment Declaration (copy) that I had obtained through Alice.

    I mean, I prepared this in advance.

    Ultimately, this means that internal discussions have already ended.

    Dilenium’s expression darkened when she saw that.

    This is probably because you know best what that means.

    “Seonghwang Fruits and Vegetables… Have you ever had a fight?”

    “The adults took advantage of the gap between focusing on the outside and not paying attention to the inside to engage in unfair transactions. He asked me to help him with the heresy trial because it would help him become a cardinal.”

    “With barely a bishop… ah… … ”

    You can’t do anything with a bishop.

    It was like that originally.

    But he also seemed to have realized something.

    As for the current state of Seonghwangcheong.

    Even if he brought something that only a cardinal could do, problems would arise.

    The current Seonghwangcheong.

    Because the boundary between cardinals and bishops is vague.

    In fact, it’s almost like the cardinal position remains because of the Pope.

    “So the balance of power collapsed. As the boundary between a cardinal and the highest-ranking bishop became blurred, the role of a cardinal became meaningless except for the right to vote for the Pope.

    Paradoxically, because of this situation, the power of the Pope increased relatively… It’s a meaningless situation.”

    “Yes. The Pope has now gone into hiding, leaving his work alone. I don’t know why, but no matter what, I’m still doing it wrong. He must be a truly irresponsible person.”

    The Pope went into hiding.

    For some reason, the difference between cardinals and bishops has been reduced.

    Therefore, the declaration of heresy was originally impossible.

    Eventually, the bishop was able to proclaim it.

    “And… Paradoxically, even though the gap between cardinals and bishops has narrowed, targeting cardinals… ”

    That’s obvious.

    Because no one wants to stand still after working hard.

    The person who received this job from the Crowfield Dukedom.

    That person.

    I plan to become the Pope.

    “In the end, declaration of heresy cannot be avoided. Because that’s the way it is. Even something trivial can become a heresy, right? Because there are very few people without sin.”

    “… So, are you asking for help?”

    “Yes. Paradoxically, yes. I’m not a heretic. Although I am not a very faithful believer.

    The opposite of a saintly gentleman is human garbage, but just because he is not a saintly gentleman does not mean he is human garbage.”

    “… ”

    He seemed to be troubled by something.

    It seemed difficult to decide whether to help or not.

    The odds were vague.

    To be honest, I thought there was a good chance it would help.

    This is because it is very difficult for a vampire to come to the forefront.

    “Unfortunately… ”

    He eventually said no.

    There was sadness in his eyes.

    When I heard those words, a feeling of despair came over me.

    I was tired.

    I shouldn’t give up, but I’ve been feeling like giving up for a while.

    ‘also… It’s hard for me to come forward because I’m a vampire… There is no proof, so unless you come forward yourself, there is no way you will believe it. Since I know that Seonghwangcheong is a vampire, I guess his influence is low…

    Rather, asking for help can be detrimental… If it is revealed that he is a vampire, Seonghwangcheong will suffer damage… ‘

    uh? wait for a sec.

    damage?

    What a great plan.

    Sometimes it happens from nothing.

    A new method came to mind.

    It’s really the worst way.

    There was a way to somehow survive.

    It’s a selfish way for me to live.

    A way to deal a huge blow to Seonghwangcheong.

    ‘Honestly, I don’t want to write it. If Seonghwangcheong falls, there will be nothing but losses in the future… but… Because Seonghwangcheong can be rebuilt… “

    The basis of Seonghwangcheong is its overwhelming legitimacy based on the stigmata bestowed from God.

    Conversely, if it shakes, it will collapse.

    Even if it collapses, if legitimacy is regained, it also means that support will gather.

    Even among nobles, there are many people who sincerely believe in heavenly gods.

    Therefore, if legitimacy is secured, Seonghwangcheong will rise again.

    Seonghwangcheong was not created by God.

    Because it was made by humans.

    “If… If you can’t help me, I have no choice but to use the last resort.”

    Last resort.

    My safety is obtained in exchange for the well-being of Seonghwangcheong and St. Dilenium.

    The way is…

    “Disclosure.”

    At those words, Dillenium’s eyebrows rose slightly.

    It seemed like he knew what I was trying to say.

    “Revelation of your identity. And I will spread it, including all the questions I had.”

    The devil is the enemy of Seonghwangcheong.

    Vampires, whose parents are demons, have been Ingil’s enemies for a long time.

    I am reincarnated in modern society, but to a lesser extent.

    To the public who are still suffering from vampires, vampires are something that can never be forgiven.

    “If that fact becomes known, it will be very bothersome. You may be stripped of your sainthood, and the Holy Emperor’s Office will be disgraced for having some corrupt people in collusion with the devil.

    It’s no use trying to refute it. The moment such a claim is made, it becomes camp logic. The forces supporting me will use it to tie together the corruption of the Seonghwangcheong and the unfairness of your and my declaration of heresy.”

    It was a cruel method.

    Because it was actually a way to harm an individual.

    But I can’t die now.

    Anyway, becoming a good person is not my goal.

    trace.

    To die and leave a mark on this land.

    We must live paradoxically.

    “… Is it a threat?”

    Fortunately, a good snack came to mind.

    He had no choice but to cooperate with this proposal.

    “You will have no choice but to accept it.”

    You probably would have found it by now.

    Two substances requested from Changje.

    One of them, Yongche, was received.

    Now all we have to do is receive the remaining materials.

    “The reason you were able to become a saint belonging to the Seonghwangcheong was because all of your blood lords died except for the progenitor.”

    The founder was sealed in the past.

    Both Lord and Master were sealed.

    In other words, there should be no one who can give him orders.

    “But there are still some left. Lord of all daytime pariahs. One of the great devils born from an evil god.”

    It is said that an evil spirit created it in the first place.

    One of the five great devils.

    “Vampire progenitor, Beatrice. She will wake up.”

    Waking her up is a given.

    I will make it happen.

    Cooperation? hostility?

    It doesn’t matter what.

    For the well-being of humans, either eliminate or subdue vampires.

    It needs to be stabilized.

    So she will wake up.

    “… She wakes up?”

    “Yes. In the end, if she awakens in some form, you will no longer be protected by the Holy Emperor. Because one word from the founder will make you hostile to humans.

    If that’s the fate, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to save me and go. It’s closer to a prophecy than a threat.”

    “… There is evidence that she will be resurrected… Where is it?”

    “No. But I will do it. Even if you refuse anyway, I will expose you if you don’t help me.”

    This is an irresponsible strategy.

    Whatever you choose, I will expose it.

    Then it will be ruined.

    When I tried to appeal to emotions, I found that logic was invincible.

    [If you are destined to be abandoned in Seonghwangcheong anyway. Rather use it to save me.]

    A rare saying.

    “… So isn’t that contradictory? Why are you asking me to help you… ?”

    “Once you help me, if my true identity is discovered, I will engage in the same public opinion battle. But if you don’t get caught… I will maintain your position.”

    “How is the progenitor revived?”

    asked.

    In that short period of time, I finally succeeded in putting his consent on the table.

    It means taking out a hidden card.

    That you are willing to use it.

    A horse was put in place to drive a wedge.

    “The founder of the vampire, Beatrice, will end in my hands.”

    Either embrace it or not.

    Either kill or kill.

    I will make her harmless on this earth.

    ruler.

    St. Dilenium.

    What is your choice?
