117 – Hyde meets Her Majesty the Queen!? # 4

When I shouted at the soldiers, they looked at each other blankly.

“A group of robbers?”

“Are we a bunch of robbers?”

They are so ignorant that they don’t even know that they are a band of robbers.

So you’re probably doing something stupid to get me arrested.

“I did not recognize you as the king’s army! Moreover, I am already the most loved priest in the kingdom! If you treat me so carelessly, public sentiment will sink and your queen will never be recognized as the ruler of the kingdom!”

The authority of a prophet loved by the people sometimes surpassed that of kings and powerful nobles.

John the Baptist was like that while running through the wilderness.

How depressed was the public sentiment of Herod, the tetrarch of Israel, who beheaded John the Baptist?

Moreover, I, Hyde, was a more famous and loved priest than John the Baptist.

If you treat me so carelessly and persecute me, the public sentiment for the so-called “Queen” will literally fall through the floor.

“You would like to unify the kingdom under the banner of Uniger, right? If you kill me or hurt me even one hair right here and now, the process will be more than 200 years away!”

“… … .”

Bald Paul frowned.

For a moment, beads of sweat oozed from the middle-aged man’s shiny forehead.

A soldier rushed out of nowhere.

“Lord Foul!”

A soldier whispering something to bald Paul.

Soon, Paul clicked his tongue saying “this.”.

Soon he took back his sword and said:

“Damn, let these people here be your guests.”

“Well thought out. A prophet is not someone to be hostile to, but must be treated with respect as a guest. True to his name, the Knight of the Sun, his head and thoughts shine like the sun.”

“What’s wrong with this guy… !? The title “Knight of the Sun” isn’t because of my baldness—well, I like it anyway. Don’t act like a fool and follow me!”

Swish-.

Paul, who had a tendon on his forehead, turned his head and headed somewhere.

The royal palace of Royal Road was truly beautiful.

I thought the Gyowangcheong was a nice palace, but I also thought that the Gyowangcheong was built frugally as expected as a place where priests reside.

Gold and marble.

And it is a treasure of mankind created by pouring in all kinds of precious stones and golden spices without hesitation.

Psyche’s eyes sparkled as she walked inside.

“ This is my first time seeing such a beautiful place. I almost feel guilty walking here. Is there any dust on my body?”

A place where you can tidy up your clothes just by walking.

That was the royal palace of Royal Road.

Soon, Paul, the knight who was leading us, snorted.

“You said it was Lady Psyche, right? If she hadn’t betrayed the Uniger royal family, she could have become the mistress of this palace. Sadly, you are now a guest who is no better than a prisoner, huh?”

“I am not a young lady, but Hyde’s wife. And I never wanted a royal engagement or anything like that. The husband I chose is Hyde.”

Psyche corrected him with a stern expression.

Paul just clicked his tongue saying “I guess so.”.

I asked the foul man’s back.

“Is the queen you serve the daughter of Pendragon Unizer? A child born in the fortress of Taeman twenty years ago.”

“Ho-.”

Paul was impressed.

The tone felt like it was acknowledging us, saying, “You know quite a lot.”.

Actually, when I heard the name “Queen,” I had an idea of its identity.

It’s strange not knowing.

And it was clear that Pope Gregory also knew this was going to happen.

Is it because of Archduke Rehoboam?

Did the nobles of the great clan decide to take action because he lost his authority in the “Gourmet Club”?

Sze-.

We were finally led into a room that looked like an office.

There, a man with white hair and a beard was sitting there signing a mountain of documents.

“Marquis—No, Prime Minister. We have invited guests. As you can see, I was guided with great hospitality without any injuries, so I will now leave.”

Sze-.

The man called the Marquis and the Prime Minister stopped moving his hands and looked at us.

His overall face looked as sharp as a fox. However, the cape draped over his shoulders and the golden brooch worn on his chest made him look as proud as the king of a nation.

“Sir Paul. It’s a lot of work. Then go away. Then Priest Hyde. And the daughter of Agarpe and the daughter of Medici may sit wherever they wish. Do you like tea?”

The sight of the man getting up from his seat and hurriedly starting to get into the car was quite life-like.

I asked him.

“Are you Marquis Sandros?”

“That’s right. He is the advisor to the Uniger royal family and the prime minister of the kingdom. You came to receive the “Holy Grail” by order of Gregory, right? I’m sorry, but I can’t give you the Holy Grail.”

Startle-.

It was Milione who was shaking.

Milione asked softly.

“It’s broken and broken… ?”

“No. That’s not the only reason. The “Holy Grail” is a king’s thing. Wouldn’t it be right, then, for us to be by Her Majesty’s side? And you don’t need the Holy Grail.”

Not required?

It was time to open my narrow eyes to see what he was going to say.

Whoop-.

Psyche, who drank the tea, was slightly impressed.

“It has a rich scent.”

“Khahaha-. okay. The appetite is exactly the same as that of its father, Dovan Agarpe. How is Count Agarpe? No, we’ll talk about this later. Because there will be a lot of time.”

Whoop-.

After drinking his share of tea, Marquis Sandros let out a hot breath.

He added, casually wiping the water droplets from his beard with the back of his hand.

“Hyde Company. The reason you are trying to find the Holy Grail is because of that Lady Archibald, right? They say Archibald’s daughter was raped by a stranger named “Rust.” It’s a pity.”

“Well, that’s… .”

Tremble-.

Milione trembled.

Marquis Sandros said, looking at the guy as if he truly pitied him.

“But. Is that a reason not to get married? Is this a flaw that requires a purification ceremony with something called the “Holy Grail”? Love is a word. It is gentle and merciful. Can’t I just get married?”

Milione was startled by the story of Marquis Sandros.

And asked.

“Are you saying it’s okay to get married without a chastity ceremony?”

“Yes! If you love each other, you get married. That is the law of the Uniger royal family. There is no need to do a purification ceremony. You surrender to us. Then, Her Majesty the Queen will gladly allow you to get married.”

It was an amazing story.

If the priests of Barakhan heard it, they would foam at the mouth and have a seizure.

I can’t believe you allow me to have a second wife so easily.

Soon Marquis Sandros also spoke to Psyche.

“The Agarpe family betrayed the royal family. But our Queen, Her Majesty, is a generous and loving person. Miss Psyche Agarpe. I think the time has come to find the trust the family lost.”

“Do you mean to tell me to betray the church and be loyal to the person you call “Queen”?”

“That’s right. She is indeed a smart enough woman to be called the Three Flowers. Aren’t the Uniger royal family and the Agarpe family a long time ago? Now is the time to join hands and correct the mistakes of the past.”

Marquis Sandros was an eloquent and resourceful man who served as prime minister of the old kingdom.

This man’s influence must have had a strong influence in taking over and stabilizing the royal capital, Royal Road, in just one month.

In fact, his skill in persuading people was very good.

I know exactly what I recommend to people that will shake their hearts.

“You can get married without the Holy Grail… .”

Milione’s heart was shaking.

Marquis Sandros added words to Milione.

“Your father, Archibald Medici. What a great man. After all, he personally led his troops to invade this royal capital and bring down the royal family. But what is that man like now?”

“… … .”

“ Didn’t the usurper Gregory hate having his authority taken away by the Medici, so he kept him in check and now pushed him into a single position? It’s like boiling a hunting dog and eating it after the hunt is over. Gregory, that little guy.”

Tsk-.

It was Marquis Sandros who clicked his tongue.

“But our Majesty the Queen has a big heart. He is an example of a monarch with benevolent tolerance. After all, you are an emperor born with the blood of Uniger and chosen by God!”

He seemed to want to appease Archibald Medici through Milione.

The puppet government is only a month old.

It was natural that they wanted talented people.

money. human. Fame. They probably want to scrape together everything and make it their own.

The reason me, Psyche, and Milione are still alive is because they wanted to ‘accommodate’ us.

however-.

I couldn’t stand the foul smell.

“So, did ‘Her Majesty the Queen’ join hands with the heretic Gourmet Society out of broad tolerance? No, Marquis Sandros. Aren’t you not just holding hands, but a member of the gourmet club itself?”

My story was as sharp as a dagger piercing the heart.

Marquis Sandros, who had been talking for a while, closed his mouth.

He looked at me quietly and finally nodded.

“The rumors about young people were underestimated. Hyde, you really are an expert on heretics. okay. We joined hands with the “Gourmet Club.” money. soldier. And this and that─.”

“Aren’t you ashamed of joining hands with heretics? The most unacceptable thing in the world is becoming a heretic and joining hands with heretics!”

Joining hands with heretics for power?

No, no matter what you do in the first place, you should never join hands with heretics or become one of their allies!

Because I, Hyde, was a more faithful and devout priest than anyone else, I could not tolerate someone who would compromise with evil and go down the wrong path!

“Please let me meet the queen! I will scold her, scold her, and guide her on the right path! Let’s talk properly then!”

“… … .”

Marquis Sandros looked at me with narrow eyes.

A moment of silence-.

Soon Milione, who was listening to this story, frowned and punched my side.

“… Isn’t this completely crazy! You, man, then die! I’m not saying this because I’m particularly worried about you!”

“Why am I crazy? What’s crazy is the puppet government that joined hands with heretics! You join hands with heretics and boast about being a queen! Marquis Sandros! Quickly bring the queen to me!!!!”

Loud roar-.

My yelling shook the window.

Bring the queen-.

Marquis Sandros seemed speechless at my shouting.

That’s right, my story was extremely correct and was like a needle piercing the truth.

There’s no way I can refute it.

There was silence for about 5 seconds.

Marquis Sandros finally burst out laughing as if he had lost his mind.

“Hyde. I like young people like you. There are times when young people do amazing things that surprise old people like me.”

Why are you making me fly like this for some nonsense?

As I watched with wary eyes, Marquis Sandros, as expected, started babbling nonsense.

“But Her Majesty heard rumors about you and didn’t find anything particularly shining about you. In other words, right now you have nothing that could be called ‘qualifications’ to meet Her Majesty the Queen.”

Are you saying I don’t deserve it?

Who are you talking to? You idiot!!!

Doesn’t the author called “Queen” who wants to join hands with heretics not recognize the value of Hyde!!!?

I’m guilty!!!!!!
