    058 – Nicholas reveals Rust’s identity!

    “What is the center of the six horns?”

    I asked Psyche.

    Then, as she got off the boat, Psyche tilted her head.

    “Hyde, is this the story again? well. I answered this before, but I don’t know what it means. What is this metaphor? Well─. I still don’t know.”

    Psyche said she did not know.

    It was the same for Milione Archibald.

    “Isn’t it like the sign of a lewd heretic?”

    It is the sign of the pagans.

    It may seem like it, but it may not seem like it at all.

    I did some research to find out about “The Center of the Six Horns,” but it didn’t yield much results.

    Why are you investigating?

    It was because of someone who knew my identity!

    A guy who knows everything in the world?

    This guy can know my identity!

    I can’t accept that a guy like that exists in the world!

    It would be better if it were a lie, so I wanted it to be clearly revealed.

    If that guy “Rust’s identity is actually Hyde.” Let’s spread a rumor! My life is over in many ways!

    Now that even the Holy Grail has been shattered, there is no way to go back to the past. So, I had to find out his identity as quickly as possible, chase him down, and deal with him somehow.

    I asked Lucy as she got off the boat.

    “Miss Lucy, were there any other hints other than the center of the six horns? And how is your physical condition?”

    “There was no hint! Also, I felt incredibly refreshed after the fire! I always felt like my heart was heavy, but this is the first time I’ve felt this refreshed! I feel like I was born again!”

    “I see.”

    “Hyde, it’s clear that you cured me! With that hypnotherapy! Hyde is, of course, my prince! A prince riding a white horse from a fairy tale came to save me from the island!”

    Whisper-.

    It was Lucy hugging me.

    Psyche frowned as she looked at that.

    “Lu, Miss Lucy! You shouldn’t cling to a man so carelessly! And Hyde is my husband! Get off quickly!”

    “Then I want to become Hyde’s wife too! Then you can stick to it!”

    Lucy.

    She was like a fresh high school girl.

    18 years old.

    Is it because I just became an adult, or is it because I was stuck on an island? Should I call him naive or straightforward?

    “Hyde! I like Hyde!”

    Lucy said she liked me.

    However, I knew very well that this was a kind of ‘illusion’.

    Lucy has been locked up all her life.

    There must have been only a few men, including me, that she had ever met.

    Also, it was natural for me to feel close to Lucy, as I had formed a rapport in many ways due to the situational circumstances.

    You may be mistaking such feelings for rational liking.

    Milione also clicked his tongue.

    “That crazy bitch! Surely, if you see good-looking men in Veneto, your eyes will turn away right away? There are countless men in the kingdom who are cooler and greater than Hyde.”

    It was a cold story.

    But it’s a common story.

    A girl who liked her tutor during her high school days begins to forget her teacher after meeting many men after entering university.

    If Lucy lives in a mainland kingdom such as Veneto for a long time, her eyes will definitely broaden and her insight into men will increase.

    therefore.

    There was no need to listen to what Lucy was saying right now.

    So I decided to politely refuse.

    “Lucy, if you feel the same even after a year after leaving island life, I will consider marriage.”

    “Really… !? Oh yeah… ! 1 year! I’ll be there soon! 365 days!”

    It was Lucy, dancing around with her hands tied in handcuffs.

    Psyche trembled at the sight.

    “Hyde, is that true? After a year, I will take Lucy as my wife! Does that mean you will take Miss Lucy as your second wife?”

    “Don’t worry. Like Millie said, there are many handsome and talented men in the kingdom. And Miss Lucy is so beautiful that she is called the three flowers.”

    Lucy’s flaw was that she seemed to be suffering from a mental disorder.

    But perhaps because she was off the island or because my hypnotherapy had really worked, Lucy’s condition had improved significantly.

    I no longer lied or did anything unexpected to get attention.

    At least for now.

    If this situation continues, Lucy will be courted by all kinds of men, just like Milione and Psyche, and her arrogance will increase.

    “What is the probability that Miss Lucy will still like me after a year?”

    “Is that so? But Hyde, you have a more unique charm than all the men I’ve ever seen. If Lucy, who fell in love with that charm, retains her feelings even a year later… .”

    Psyche was shaking with a slightly anxious feeling.

    Looking at that scene, Milione Archibald clicked his tongue.

    “You two are so damned, so damned. So where on earth is the church official who said he would come to meet us? I need to get on the carriage quickly so I don’t end up looking like that fat guy!”

    Milione is losing her temper.

    For the past few days, I have turned into Lass and have not been able to vent my anger, so I often act sensitive. If I wanted to just talk to Psyche, I would become that prickly.

    Naughty bitch.

    Crackle, clank-.

    At that time, soldiers in armor approached us.

    They were wearing black cloaks, and their appearance was quite powerful.

    “I guess it’s Lord Roland’s Black Knights!”

    Psyche expressed her impression upon seeing this.

    Sir Roland’s Black Knights.

    I knew something about them too.

    “Are you referring to the knights in the black cloak led by the black knight Roland?”

    “That’s right. They are former repentant evildoers, and they have greater skills than anyone else in subjugating heretics and subjugating heretics, right? He said that there were many prominent knights other than the knight commander Sir Roland.”

    “Psyche Agarpe, we are honored that you know about us. My name is Nicholas, the black knight in charge of this matter.”

    Someone interrupted our conversation.

    Gradually-.

    He was a man carrying a huge spear on his back.

    Is he in his late 20s or so?

    “Lord Roland’s lieutenant and the second son of the Viscount Hastur family. It’s a shameful past, but he was also the leader of the Black Hand bandits.”

    He was wearing armor with a wolf engraved on it, his cloak was made of black wolf fur, and his hair was black and flowing, similar to mine.

    The cross around his neck is silver.

    However, the very old one was proving to be a veteran who had turned around.

    The face is handsome.

    Feeling mean and dangerous like a real bandit leader.

    A gisaeng brother thief.

    That was my assessment.

    Soon the nuns of the Grande Convent, who were handcuffed, muttered softly.

    “Nicholas, right?”

    “Kya! Really handsome! He’s as handsome as the rumors say!”

    “But, doesn’t it look a bit dangerous? He seems like a bad guy.”

    “Fool, don’t you know that bad men are better?”

    Quack squeal-.

    They were nuns who were noisy about prisoners.

    Bad men are popular both here and in the 21st century.

    Good guy types like me only suffer losses.

    Soon, Nicholas the Black Knight bent his knees and offered something to Psyche.

    “Miss Psyche, this is a gift to you, beautiful and pure. Lily. I think it would suit you well.”

    Sze-.

    It was Nicholas taking out a lily from his empty hand.

    As expected from a thief, he is a man with a habit of using his hands!

    Psyche was surprised to see that.

    “Is it magic? Where did you just get the flowers from?”

    Taking a flower out of your hand is a basic trick.

    I can do anything like that.

    When thinking about that, Psyche shook her head.

    “It’s a nice flower, but I’ll reject it. I have a husband.”

    “Is that so? I’m shocked because this is the first time a woman has rejected my flowers.”

    Sze-.

    Nicholas hid the flower in his arms.

    It looked a little disintegrated, but it was strong.

    Do you know that Psyche is a woman who falls in love with the looks of men?

    I was happy that Psyche politely refused the flowers, but on the other hand, I also felt a bit confused.

    What on earth?

    flower.

    Yes, it was definitely because of the flowers.

    Nicholas you bastard.

    Did you just give flowers to a married woman?

    Flowers were the reproductive organs of flowers.

    It means the flower’s cock and pussy.

    Would you carelessly give something like that to a married woman?

    In other words, when a man gives flowers to a woman, it is the same as saying “pussy.”. And if the woman received the flower, she would have responded with “cock.”.

    Sex is the meeting of a cock and a pussy.

    Sparks arising from that friction!

    Therefore, the act of giving and receiving flowers between a man and a woman was sex!

    okay.

    Nicholas had asked Psyche for sex!

    Too bad Psyche refused!

    Nicholas This lewd bastard was clearly a vicious bastard.

    Black knight.

    Even the name is insidious.

    The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

    This dog!

    This guy isn’t a bad guy, he’s definitely a degenerate and a devil!

    He could be a real thief!

    I will somehow find the evidence and sue you.

    When I thought that, Milione clicked his tongue.

    “What, are you discriminating against people? Why don’t you give it to me?”

    Milione grumbled.

    I said as if I were pinching his side.

    “Millie, you hate flowers.”

    “That’s right! More than that, Hyde, how did you know I didn’t like flowers? Did you even do a background check on me? uh? Why did you do it?”

    It was Milione who let out a long snort.

    How to know.

    I know this because Lars hated flowers.

    Lars was the type of person who liked to chew flowers rather than smell them.

    Chewing on flowers.

    It was a very crazy year.

    “Then, from now on, this incident will be controlled by Nicholas Lee, his deputy, on behalf of the absent Sir Roland! Soldiers, transport the criminals to the Great Temple of Veneto!”

    “… Hyde!”

    Lucy cried a little.

    Looking at that, I waved my hand lightly.

    “Sister Lucy, nothing will happen. Just stay calm. Mother Superior Midnar, please take care of Miss Lucy for the time being.”

    “Hyde, I will do that even if you don’t tell me. I couldn’t protect Emma, but I will make sure to protect Lucy. please. Gregory Even if it means tearing that guy’s head off.”

    That strict, grumpy old man no longer calls me a brat.

    Well, it’s natural.

    Veneto.

    Aside from the chapel, there was a building called Daesinjeon.

    “What a great place!”

    Psyche admires.

    The towering pillars were definitely cool.

    It was a building that might have been a Roman temple or something in the Greek Mediterranean.

    Soon the knight Nicholas spoke.

    “This building was built 500 years ago. The founding king of the Uniger royal family built this place and entrusted it to the Orleans family. Now, our Black Knights are in charge of protection.”

    “That’s great.”

    Psyche nods in admiration.

    Soon Nicholas puffed out his chest and spoke with pride.

    “I am proud that it is a place where no one can dare to trespass. Even if it is Rust who burned down the Florence Basilica, which was in charge of Lord Parmas and Archbishop Archibald.”

    There were a lot of expenses.

    There were at least ten knights wearing black cloaks.

    The number of soldiers is more than twice that number.

    It wouldn’t be strange to say that it was a barracks rather than a temple.

    However, his story was wrong.

    It would be right for me to correct that story.

    “Rust is an extraordinary criminal and the devil himself. If he shows up, Nicholas, you’ll be running away like a pissed dog, begging for your life. That Hyde assures me. Even if you bring that guy named Roland, it’s not enough to stop Rust.”

    “Hmm? Are you belittling my superior, Sir Roland? Hyde, I really wanted to meet what kind of man he is, but he seems to have no discerning eye.”

    The black knight Nicholas frowns.

    At that time, Milione, who was yawning as if she was bored in the temple, also said something.

    “Why do I agree with Hyde? Rust, that man is a monster. There’s no way you can do anything about the man who raped me, burned Archbishop Coramdeo to death, and caused Archbishop Archibald’s downfall. Don’t you know that Rust was the one who burned down the Grande convent?”

    No, it wasn’t Rust who killed Archbishop Coramdeo.

    He’s still alive.

    It’s on trial.

    Soon Psyche also said something.

    “Sir Nicholas, I know you are a great knight, but you had better not ignore Rust. That man… He is an extremely vicious and mean person. They are complete human trash!”

    scum?

    Psyche.

    Are you now looking at your husband’s disgrace in front of the man he married?

    How dare you insult me and call me human trash!

    This is cheating!

    As soon as he thought of that, Nicholas laughed, hahaha.

    He burst out laughing so hard that people around him turned their heads, and then he wiped the tears from his eyes with black gloves and spoke.

    “Because everyone thinks that way, they cannot see the essence. I’m so scared of shadows. Rust, Sir Roland and I have already figured out the man’s weakness. The identity of that man.”

    what?

    I was very embarrassed.

    Do you understand Rust’s weaknesses and identity?

    There’s no way something like that would be possible.

    Suddenly, I remembered the story Lucy had told me about her mother.

    The person at the center of the six horns.

    Is that person Nicholas the Black Knight? Roland?

    Or the official?

    Milione asked urgently.

    “You know Rust’s identity! Is that real? how! What is that man’s identity?”

    “The identity of the man was one that no one would have guessed. And he was very, very close to us. They teased and harassed us from up close. The bottom of the lamp was dark.”

    Thump, pound, pound -.

    My heartbeat became incredibly loud.

    Breathe-.

    While I was taking a deep breath with my eyes dizzy in many ways, Nicholas the Black Knight finished his sentence as if cutting a piece of fish with a single knife.

    “Lord Roland says that Rust’s true identity is Archbishop Archibald. I think so too.”

    “… … .”

    What the fuck.

    I feel like a fool for being so nervous.

    Soon Milione was also shocked.

    What kind of bullshit is “?”

    “ To be precise, it is not Archbishop Archibald himself, but his servant. A criminal who appeared in the Durgien region. A person who appeared with the death of Oscar Archibald. Now that Archbishop Archibald has been demoted, he has disappeared again. And his speaking skills are excellent. Wasn’t that oratorical power inherited from Archbishop Archibald?”

    After listening to it, it makes sense.

    You idiot.

    Soon Nicholas spoke.

    “Soon we will catch that man with our own hands. There has been a lot of information coming in about Rust being sighted in Palcea. If you catch that man, Psyche, will you accept my flowers then?”

    Nicholas you bastard.

    As expected, they are targeting Psyche.

    It’s natural that bees are attracted to flowers, but Psyche is so popular that it’s a shame.

    Do I have to wear a hijab or burka on my face?

    “Hyde.”

    Psyche looked at me with an embarrassed face.

    Maybe it’s good? It seemed like he was asking.

    I decided to answer this story instead.

    “Good. If you really succeed in capturing Rust, I will allow Psyche to receive the flower. But you’d better never let down your guard. If you do it wrong, we might end up putting flowers on your grave.”

    Nicholas, I will decorate your grave with a bouquet of flowers myself.

    An adulterous man targeting someone else’s wife!

    You are guilty of adultery in my heart!!!!

    And Roland, who has this guy as his adjutant, is probably a bad guy, so the death penalty is certain!!!
