A complicated and unsettling thought passed through Lisa’s mind. I was complacent. I had no idea that the eyes and ears of the Lord would reach this far.

‘Well, have you seen everything…? .’

I tried hard to deny it, but there was no way I couldn’t have seen it. It wasn’t just one or two attacks on Priest Isaiah… . I called him every time I got the chance… .

It was obvious that the Lord knew everything she had done so far.

‘But… . Then why has nothing happened so far?’

Clearly, Lisa, what she did was something that a person who serves the Lord should never do. No, no normal person would have done something like this before.

But this has happened several times… . Did the Lord just look at it and overlook it? I had no idea what he was thinking.

Besides, he didn’t do it outside of church, he did such an obscene thing in the sacred chapel… . This crime is so serious that there is nothing to say about it even if it disappears right now in the dew of execution.

Lisa was so excited that she clenched her sweaty fists and quivered her lips… .

The Cardinal, who had been quietly watching her, narrowed his eyebrows, tilted his head, and opened his mouth.

“Is something wrong?”

“Yes?!”

“No… . Your complexion looks bad… .”

“Oh, it’s nothing… . Well, they say the Lord has been watching this place… . I was wondering if I’ve made any mistakes so far… .”

“Is that so? Do not worry too much. Even if you make a mistake, the Lord will forgive you with great generosity.”

“Haha… . Well, I guess so… .”

As I smile awkwardly, a bead of sweat runs down my jaw line.

‘driving me crazy… . I don’t know how this works… ?’

I was even more scared that nothing had happened so far. Did you keep me alive just to harass me forever? A number of cases passed through my mind, but I was never able to come up with an answer.

I don’t know what it was, but I was sure I was screwed… .

I felt like my head was going to explode at any moment.

“Bishop Lisa didn’t kill anyone… . It’s not like you touched the believers.”

“… ”

Fuck… .

The cardinal’s words become a sharp dagger and pierce the heart. I’ve killed people, and I’m not a believer, but… . Higher than that… . I touched the body of an agent who served in the shadow of God.

I wanted to scream and run outside, but if she did something like that here, she would be the one to be fucked, so I wanted to save my life as much as possible, so I pulled up the corners of my mouth, hiding my emotions as much as possible.

“That’s right… . How could I do that… .”

“Then you don’t have to worry too much.”

Whoop-

His Eminence, the Cardinal, holding the tea and drinking tea elegantly. Lisa, who was staring at her blankly, felt suffocated at every moment.

‘No… . If you think about it, that bastard was the problem in the first place… .’

He’s shaking his damn sexy body and seducing me, so what should I do… . If you think about it carefully, he was the one who started it all. Rather, she was a victim, so if she hadn’t looked at her with those harsh eyes and rubbed her body two years ago, the situation wouldn’t have escalated to this level.

Just like that, she denied everything she had done so far and rationalized it… Soon, she was caught up in too many thoughts and clearly felt like her head was going to explode at any moment.

widely-

“Bishop Lisa… .”

“Yes… . Your Majesty the Cardinal… .”

“I will now tell you all of the words of the Lord. Then I’ll just go.”

“Yes… . Yes?”

already?

After finishing her tea, she stands up. It doesn’t seem like they exchanged a few words, but His Eminence is getting ready to leave as if he has finished what he had to say.

Didn’t you say it took a few days just to get here? That’s not the only thing I have to say… . Of course, I wonder if there is anything more important to talk about than the fact that a hero has appeared, but I felt like I should have at least eaten dinner.

“Yes? Bur, are you leaving already?”

“Yes. All my work here is done. I have to go back now.”

“Still, you must have been tired from the long journey… . Take a rest, have dinner, and then go… .”

“I am grateful from the bottom of my heart… . Because this isn’t the only thing I have to do.”

“…”

Perhaps it was his intention to convey this from the beginning, but he lightly laughed at Lisa’s words telling him to leave later. As soon as she walked outside, the believers began to follow her one by one, as if they had been waiting… .

“Um, is it really okay for you to leave like this?”

“Hehe… . Why do you want me to stay here?”

“So… . I want you to get some rest… .”

“If I stay here, I’ll have to take care of an annoying old man… . Sitting without paying attention is also not appropriate.”

“No… .”

Lisa, who was about to say something, immediately covered her mouth and let out a faint sigh. I’m not the kind of person who will listen to you anyway. Since I was a very stubborn person, I had no choice but to follow her back to the carriage.

“The next time we meet will be around this time next year. You must be busy in one way or another from now on… . Don’t stress too much, just take it easy… .”

“Yes… .”

Leaving behind Lisa’s thoughtful answer, His Majesty the Cardinal gets back into the dazzling carriage. As soon as the believers confirmed that she was on board, the door suddenly locked and she began to move hurriedly. She looked down at Lisa through the window and continued speaking with her chin resting on the window frame with a dull expression on her face.

“As you know, the Pope will also come by then. It may be burdensome, but you can do it… .”

“Of course.”

“I will trust you.”

Lisa bows her head and shows respect. She frowned slightly in a place that was not under the Cardinal’s gaze.

The Pope himself is coming… . With talk of the coming of the Lord, the presence of the Pope was not particularly surprising, but it was enough to make me dizzy.

‘Still, I guess we should consider ourselves fortunate that the high-ranking executives won’t find out about Isaiah… .’

Maybe I was thinking about it too complicated. It’s true that I did something I couldn’t do as a human being, but… . I don’t know. Does the Lord care about the deviations of mere mortals?

In the first place, I could not find any mention of abstinence anywhere in the doctrine. In fact, they actively encouraged things like sexual intercourse and drinking… . Lisa, she was suffering alone, and in fact, no one was paying attention.

However, this also requires some certainty… . It wasn’t enough to shake off my anxious feelings.

“Bishop Lisa, then I will leave. If you need help, don’t hesitate and contact the parish right away. We will support you as much as we can… .”

“Thank you. Then go in carefully… .”

With those words, the driver holding the reins made a yelping sound and shook his arms roughly. As a result, the horses began to move forward slowly, trotting.

This was followed by the sound of horses’ hooves clattering and the sound of wheels rolling as if they were tearing up the ground. Lisa, who was watching the carriage getting further and further out of sight, let out a light snort as if she was relaxed and folded her hands in front of her.

Is it because of my mood that my back feels heavy? Deep in her thoughts, she stood there without moving until the sight of the carriage disappeared completely.

@@@@@

‘Hmm… .’

I let out a soft moan and lifted myself up from the bed, tilting my head slightly. Two days have already passed since it happened.

Although I have not yet recovered to the point where I can walk, the sharp pain that feels like a needle pricking my entire body and cutting my muscles has gradually subsided, and I can now shake my arms lightly.

anyway…

That wasn’t the important thing.

I managed to get into position with the help of believers, and looked down at a woman doing the grave sin at my feet.

A woman with her long red hair hanging down like an octopus’ leg and her head buried. A guild’s leader, each one of them, was pounding his head into the wooden floor as if he were going to pierce it.

“Ha… .”

Well, if you knew the context, you could easily understand why it was like that. The kids below had an accident, so they must have come to apologize to me instead.

Of course, she didn’t do anything wrong. If you really want to ask, is it because you failed to properly manage the kids under you? It was her mistake not to pay more attention.

However, just as people cannot change things, these guys were the type of people who would cause trouble someday, regardless of whether they had discipline or not. Therefore, I also had no intention of criticizing or blaming Lady Raina.

So I said it wouldn’t matter if I stopped now… .

“Sorry, sorry. So that something like this doesn’t happen again… . I will be careful. sorry… . sorry… .”

It seemed like Raina thought a little differently than I did.
