090 – Hyde clashes with the king’s children #4

“Did you hear? They say I am kinder and more kind than anyone else.”

Milione.

The guy was chatting next to me.

Milione was truly a genius when it came to annoying people.

“Lord Kusan has completely fallen for my charm.”

“I heard from Alter that Lord Cusan flirts with every woman he meets, asking them to become his queen. You’d better not listen seriously.”

If Milione really became queen, it was clear that an era of darkness so terrible that evil women like Empress Dowager Cixi would seem like a joke would come.

It’s the end of the human era.

He’s going to castrate all the guys he doesn’t like.

I would set fire to the palace.

It was certain that he would become a much more terrible tyrant than Atalanta.

I guarantee it.

When I thought of that, Milione frowned.

“What is it? Are you jealous that I got flirted with right now? Do you think he owned me just because he tried to take me in as his concubine?”

You crazy bitch that I’m jealous!

What nonsense!

However, Milione snorted happily, as if she knew what I was thinking.

“Anyway! They say men know that you like them even if you treat them just a little bit well. Being so popular is also tiring. It’s all because I’m so proud.”

I’m really tired too.

In many ways, I feel dizzy before my eyes.

Soon Alter Archibald also said something.

“Hyde. Are you okay? I can’t believe I’m going to fight Lord Atalanta without Lord Cusan’s help. Prince Atalanta is especially favored by the soldiers and His Holiness Pope Gregory.”

Pope Gregory said he was particularly fond of Atalanta.

It was common for fathers to be weak towards their daughters.

However, I thought it was really foolish of him to care for his adoptive daughter while abandoning his own daughter.

anyway.

After careful consideration, I decided not to seek help from Kusan.

Kusan was in a bad mood, and I thought it would be better to handle things on my own rather than receiving help from someone else.

It’s my wife’s revenge.

It would be right to do it on my own.

And although it was my intuition, I felt like I would never be able to get my debt back once I owed Kusan.

Catching a fox could mean joining hands with a wolf.

With that feeling, I returned to the room where Psyche was being treated, and found Psyche lying down in the room doing push-ups.

“Four hundred and fifty─. Four hundred and fifty days─.”

“Psyche. What are you doing?”

“Oh! Hyde!”

Psyche jumped up from her seat as soon as she saw me.

“I was training my body!”

“No, it’s been so long since you got injured that you’re already training your body?”

“I’m fine!”

really?

I suffered internal injuries that made me vomit blood?

However, upon examination, Milione said that Psyche was absolutely fine.

The wound healed in just one day.

“You’re such a monster.”

Even Milione held out his tongue.

Indeed, she was a woman who appeared unharmed even after clashing with Lass, the Great Sin Seat, dozens of times and continued to block our path.

Psyche was really strong.

Psyche clasped her hands together.

“Me. I felt it this time. If my power had been a little more overwhelming and powerful, Lord Atalanta would have also admitted defeat in the true sense. strength. I will develop even greater strength!”

no-.

I don’t think there’s any need to gain any more strength than this.

If Psyche became stronger than she is now, she would blow me away with just a sneeze.

Psyche seemed to think that her own lack of strength prevented Atalanta from admitting defeat.

No matter what happens, you find fault with yourself.

It was evidence of good-hearted people.

Whenever something happens, I always feel like I’m not good enough and that I did something wrong.

In fact, I, Hyde, the most pious priest of all, have done nothing wrong!

# # #

“I didn’t know that before. It’s really hard to just have to rest in your room. My body is completely healed, but I have to rest for a few days by order of His Holiness the Pope.”

Psyche.

She yawned as if she was bored in her room.

It was an unbecoming story of a woman who had been feigning illness for several years and had not been able to go outside.

But I couldn’t help but feel bored and bored.

This was because, by order of Pope Gregory, Psyche had to recuperate in her room for about a week.

I thought this was exactly like a probation order.

“Psyche. Shall we play chess?”

Sze-.

I took out a high-quality chessboard carved from ivory.

Psyche and I sat across from each other at the table and moved the pieces one by one.

“Hyde, you watched it again, right?”

“Psyche. Your skills have improved.”

“No. Hyde didn’t do it. After a long time, I moved my pawn to the end of the opponent’s camp, but it turned into a bishop instead of a queen?”

Milione snorts.

It was just as he said.

I didn’t promote my pawn as a queen, but as a bishop.

The reason was simple.

Because I dreamed of becoming a better priest than anyone else and was on my way to becoming that.

So I just liked Bishop.

The bishop moves diagonally.

“You’re really bad at chess.”

Milione frowned.

Soon Psyche shouted at Milione.

“Milione! You can’t use such vulgar language in our couple’s bedroom, much less in this church hall!”

okay.

Milione keeps coming to our room and disrupting our time together.

I can’t spend time alone with Psyche.

Milione, perhaps aware of my feelings, lay down on the bed and screamed.

“I’m bored to death. I’m bored to death! Hyde! Try telling something interesting! Either sue Atalanta! Aren’t you being too quiet these past few days?”

It was like that.

I have been quiet these past few days.

No, when I think about it, I’ve always been quiet.

Pot-.

It was then.

Someone appeared in our room in a hurry.

It was Alter Archibald.

“Hyde! Lord Psyche! The man has appeared!”

The man.

Who does that refer to?

There was only one person.

Milione, who noticed the presence, got up from the bed and cried out.

“Rust! That guy showed up in Barakhan again!?”

Sze-.

Alter held out a book in his hand to Milione.

The book, which was about 150 pages long, had this written on it.

“old maid”.

It was a simple name.

Milione was shocked to see this.

“This is Rust’s new work! An old maid. I guess it’s a sequel to the previous series, “Non-Virgin”! Let’s see what it’s about! I have to see it soon! Quickly!”

Palak, Palak-.

It was time for Milione to turn the page.

“Aaaagh-!”

I heard someone shouting.

The inside of the Church of Christ is shaking.

When we went outside, we saw Atalanta beating a young priest to a pulp.

“Who is it! Who brought this ridiculous book into the Holy See! Is it because it smells terrible that Atalanta couldn’t get married? What is that old maid’s smell? I’ll kill you!”

“Z, calm down. Isn’t it not Prince Atalanta that appears in this “Old Maid” but Prince Italante? The two are not the same person at all─.”

“Shut up!”

Sigh-!

Atalanta finally struck the priest with all her might with her fist.

She looked this way as if she had noticed our presence.

“What are you guys again!”

“Atalanta Ball. I thought you were on probation in your room, but why did you come outside? If this continues, won’t the time spent on probation be further increased?”

Atalanta must have been on probation.

In the meantime, you come out like this and turn people into blood clots.

However, Atalanta seemed to be completely angry.

“They say a book like this has been circulating throughout the Catholic Church and Barakhan for a few days now. Do you think I will stay silent? I’m anxious to get married? Are you looking for a man every night? Where did you get such nonsense-!”

Atalanta was gritting her teeth.

Alter spoke as I opened my narrowed eyes without saying a word.

“Rust’s latest strange work, “The Old Maid,” is the story of a 25-year-old old maid called ‘Italante’ who struggles to find a husband. However, Italante has a major flaw and cannot consummate the marriage.”

Sze-.

Alter opened the book in his hand and read it.

“It’s different from the stories Rust has spread so far. Because the sexual act itself between a man and a woman does not appear in this book. Italante, an old maid, can never end up with any man.”

“Shut up! You, get that done!”

Sze-.

Atalanta snatched the book from Alter’s hand and tore it apart.

The appearance was very nervous and resembled the hysteria of ‘Italante’ that appears in the book ‘The Old Maid’.

Someone said something while looking at that.

“Is it because he couldn’t meet a man that Lord Atalanta gets nervous every day?”

“My daughter is turning 24 soon, and I need to get her married before she turns 25. What, when you turn 25, you start to have bad old maid vibes?”

“It is said that even Rust, the embodiment of lust for that devil, hates an old maid like Italante even if he would throw her to the ground.”

“Hey!!!! What did you guys just say!!!!”

As Atalanta glared at them fearfully, the people left as if their feet had been set on fire.

But we could all see that Atalanta’s reputation was falling at an alarming rate.

Atalanta herself must have felt it too.

3rd in line to the throne.

For Atalanta, who is competing with other successors for the constellation, these rumors will act as a fatal stain.

In fact, Atalanta got angry like an angry ape.

“Alter! Psyche! What on earth are you doing that allows books like this to be circulated in the sacred city of Barakhan? This is negligence! Especially Psyche, you are in charge of Rust!”

Atalanta got angry at Psyche.

Seeing this appearance, even Milione could say, “Completely red-faced.”.

Soon Psyche bowed her head slightly.

“Sorry. Because I had been lying in a hospital bed for about a week, I was unable to stop Rust’s magic from reaching Barakhan. We will quickly retrieve Buddhist scriptures floating around Barakhan.”

Psyche seemed to have sincerely apologized.

In fact, she seemed to feel responsible, as Atalanta’s eyebrows twitched and veins appeared on her forehead.

“What is it? Is this my fault for sending you to a hospital bed for a week now? good! As expected, there is no one to trust! Rust, I’ll take care of this guy! Yes, if I deal with this guy, I can increase my standing.”

It was Atalanta, tracing her lips with her thumb.

What an idiot.

How can you raise your standing when you don’t even recognize me right next to you?

However, Atalanta seemed to have realized something.

“Could it be that the sinners are targeting me at this Dark Moon Conclave? Rust. I’m sure he’ll participate in the conclave. good. I’ll blow it all away! you! Hyde!”

Sze-.

Atalanta pointed at me.

“Who. Me?”

“Yes! you! Hyde! Are you familiar with Rust? Do you know what his weakness is? You better tell everything you know!”

I’m an expert on Rust.

However, this situation itself was so funny that I scratched the bridge of my nose.

flinch-.

Atalanta trembled.

And then “Why are you touching your nose? Do you think I smell too!?” He got angry.

Do you think that the smell of an old maid that appeared in the novel “An Old Maid” is real?

“Hyde! I have something to talk about, so come to my office!”

Pot─.

Atalanta left without me even having a moment to say anything.

She was a self-indulgent woman comparable to Milione.

but-.

Everything went according to my plan.

You are a bitch who never goes beyond expectations.
