143 – Allied forces of the Kingdom invade Sodomy! # 2

“Hyde! I’m really glad you’re safe!”

Wadadat-.

Someone came towards me and hugged my body.

Crack, cluck.

I burst into tears as I felt every bone and joint in my body screaming.

“Yeah!”

Sze-.

It was only then that Psyche seemed to come to her senses and lowered me to the floor. However, he still raised his voice as if he was excited.

“You took down Kusan from his position as the Emperor and put Miss Lucy in his place! Hyde, no one in the world could have done this except you!”

Psyche was purely amazed by my amazing achievement.

I also felt grateful to the heavens that I was able to reunite with Psyche safely without getting hurt.

Actually, it was a natural thing.

“The Lord is truly with me. What is there in front of me that can be said to be impossible? It was all a planned result.”

I never once doubted my success.

However, Milione, whom I met after a long time, immediately frowned and clicked his tongue.

“So, did you agree to the proposal to head to sodomy, disarm the “Blood Crusade” and make them surrender in 5 days? No matter how much you are, this is impossible.”

As Milione said, I had to disband the Blood Crusade within 5 days.

Otherwise, even if the Allied forces had not been supplied with artillery, they would have been able to turn sodomy into powder with just the quantity.

Platinum Wizard Thorin, Platinum Knight Aguileth.

The gold-plated knights of the Order, Naib, Benjamin, and Psyche.

Van Johann and Paul, knights of the royal gold plate.

Also, the number of silver and bronze knights under his command was approximately 1,000.

This time, Archbishop Medici Archibald, the strategist who captured the royal capital 20 years ago, and Archbishop Hugo, a specialist in eradicating heresy, were also present.

Kuuuk-.

Psyche clenched her fist.

“The intention is to use the Blood Crusade, which may be the most difficult, as the first opponent and example in the upcoming fight against heretics. Perhaps the Allied forces will completely crush sodomy.”

Psyche had an expression full of determination.

Those eyes looked at me.

“But. Hyde. Any evil person should have a chance to be forgiven. You are trying to give the sinners of sodomy another chance.”

Sze-.

Psyche holding my hand.

Those eyes were filled with emotion and sparkled with water.

“Hyde. If this thing goes well, there will be no reason for me to remain as a gold plated knight. As your wife, I will try my best. For our family… And for the new family that will be born in the future… !”

“… If you are a new family… .”

I, too, was moved by Psyche’s words.

Psyche seemed to have decided to use this opportunity to completely destroy the Blood Crusade and become a family in the true sense of the word.

In fact, we were already family in the true sense of the word.

“What are you born with? It’s lucky if you go into sodomy and don’t get caught!”

At that time, Milione got angry.

Milione’s expression suddenly became dull, his face turned red and he was grinning.

“Hyde. Think again. Convincing sodomy heretics is more difficult than overthrowing the Pope twice and unifying the kingdom. It’s impossible!”

“If you don’t even try, it will never be possible. But if you try anything, there is always some possibility.”

That’s what I said, though.

I thought it was natural for Milione to be angry.

Milione was originally very angry.

“Milione. I actually know that you are as good as anyone. The reason you are angry is probably because of the irrationality and injustice that is rampant in this world.”

“What… ?”

Milione seemed perplexed.

Any person would be embarrassed if they were hit right in the face.

What I said was true.

“milli. You hated the fact that everyone wore a mask of goodness, but later did worse things than anyone else. I didn’t want hypocrisy and pretense to be rampant. That’s why I was grumpy at people like a sulky child.”

“What are you saying? Why can’t you just say whatever you want?”

“I hope you don’t have to get angry and blush anymore. And it will be like that in the future. This world can be a little better.”

“… … .”

At my words, Milione closed her mouth and slowly relaxed her expression.

He placed his hand on his forehead as if he had touched my deep meaning.

He spoke as if he had made a decision after thinking about it for a while.

“My brother’s alter is in sodomy. If you find him, you may be able to get help. Hyde. Keep this in mind. You only have 5 days. If it seems impossible, get out of the city at any time. And─.”

─And.

Milione hesitated for a while.

It felt like I wanted to say something but it was stuck in my throat or jaw and I couldn’t get it out.

“Miss Millie.”

Sze-.

Psyche placed her hand on Milione’s back.

Perhaps thanks to the warmth, Milione opened her lips.

“Do you really think everyone should be given a second chance? Can you forgive even villains who have committed terrible crimes?”

“You should do it a thousand or ten thousand times. That’s why I’m trying to commit sodomy.”

“If this thing goes really well. I also have something I want to tell you. Hyde. So, make sure you come back safely alive. We will help you do that too.”

“Can’t sleep?”

Psyche.

She came towards me sitting in Agarpe’s chapel.

It’s already midnight.

Psyche covered me with a blanket.

Sze-.

I said, touching the wooden chairs and podium of the chapel with my hands.

“Me. Although I have become one of only three priests in the world with a gold plate, my heart still dreams of preaching and worshiping at the church here in Agarpe Estate.”

As I have said before, my dream was to open a new church on my own.

Starting with a small church that can best connect with people in the world, increase the number of believers and live a communal life with them.

That was my dream.

“But now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever worshiped or preached at this Agarpe Estate Church. I’ve been so busy so far.”

I’ve been really busy.

There was so much going on that I was sobbing that I was going to die.

But─.

If the eradication of sodomy were successfully ended, the world would become a little more peaceful.

“I will return to this church when everything is over. And I want to fight for my calling by tackling everything, step by step.”

Sze-.

I took off the golden cross from around my neck and placed it on the podium.

Because in the first place, my true dream was not to become an archbishop with a gold plate.

“Psyche. There will be a very difficult and arduous road ahead. You may have to skip meals and roll around in dirty places… .”

I was slightly speechless.

It was because I knew very well how reckless and absurd what I had to say was.

So, when there was a bit of hesitation, Psyche spoke.

“Good. I will do that.”

“… Good? I haven’t even finished speaking yet. Wouldn’t it be better to listen to what I have to say until the end and then decide?”

“No. You don’t have to listen to the end. great. I will do that.”

I can’t believe you answered so readily without even knowing what I was going to say.

I felt a little overwhelmed.

Because Psyche seemed to completely trust me.

Soon Psyche added.

“Not Psyche, the daughter and noblewoman of the Agarpe family. From now on, I will become Psyche, the wife of Pastor Hyde, who wants to start from something small and insignificant… ! Hyde, I guess that’s what you wanted to ask me… ? I hope so.”

Sze-.

Psyche held my hand.

It was warm and soft.

It made me wonder if something so amazing could exist in the world.

If any evil person knew something this warm and soft, he would soften his heart and regret his mistakes.

I spoke to Psyche.

“Is it okay to not be a noble?”

“It’s okay! Because the Agarpe family includes my younger brother Dihon! Dihon is strong now. I’m sure he will grow up well and become a great count. It’s thanks to you.”

“… … .”

“Hyde. I always had help from you. I hope I can help you with your work in the future.”

Psyche said she always received help from me.

In fact, I was always receiving help from Psyche.

Just because Psyche was there, I felt like there was still hope in the world.

Psyche was a person who never broke her spirit no matter what absurdity and humiliation she faced.

# # #

I left the chapel, leaving behind the sound of Psyche’s prayer.

The purpose was to sneak into sodomy under the cover of the dark night.

As I headed outside the church, Milione was there.

“milli. Why didn’t you interrupt my time with Psyche?”

“… … .”

Milione did not answer.

Instead, he put something in my hand.

“I picked it up on the way.”

It was a cross that looked like it was made of carved iron.

I thought it was a cross necklace.

Looking closely, there were holes at the top and bottom.

“In sodomy, you call this when you feel like you are really in danger. Then everything will work out. Never let it fall off your body. Even if I die. You must have it. Got it?”

When I looked closely, I saw that it was a cross-shaped flute.

I hung it around my neck and gave it a small blow as a test.

Piri-.

A thin, high-pitched tone was heard, and Milione frowned slightly.

“Stupid. Don’t blow it now. You should only call me when you are truly in danger and feel like you are about to die. okay? Keep this in mind. And I have one last thing to say.”

Sze-.

Milione seemed to be coming to my side and kissed my cheek.

I was shocked and angry.

“Hey. A grown girl shouldn’t do something like this!”

Ssuk seu-.

I wiped my cheek repeatedly.

My first cheek kiss was taken by Milione, not Psyche!

It was a very angry moment!!!!

however.

“If you get angry, come back and preach!”

Milione must have enjoyed teasing me so much that she stuck out her tongue at me and burst into laughter. And then it flew away into the distance.

How dare an unmarried girl kiss a man’s face without his consent!?

In the Biblical worldview, where even thinking of lewd thoughts in one’s mind is a sin of obscenity, this was almost like raping me!

I am the real victim!!!

Milione is a very naughty girl after all!

I’ll have to come back and scold you.

With that in mind, I took steps toward sodomy.

Sze-.

The weight of the iron mask felt on my chest was unusually heavy.
