021 – Hyde begins to suppress heresy! # One

Florence is a city blessed with art, literature, and God.

A large mansion located in this area called the flower of Durgien.

A woman was reading a book in an unusually sunny room on the second floor.

The appearance of the woman with her blond hair was so beautiful that even the maids who were cleaning the house stopped and glanced at her.

Suddenly, gi-ik-.

At that time, the visit opened.

“Hi!”

Unlike the maid who was startled and started cleaning again, the woman was still reading a book in a room-sized position with her legs on the desk.

The man who approached the woman was tall, had neat gray hair, and wore priestly clothing so extravagant that the purple dye shimmered.

Ssuk seu-.

The man said, touching the Roman collar.

“Miss Bathory, you can stop cleaning and go out. And Miss Bathory, since it won’t be a work day today, why don’t you go home and rest?”

“But, sir, this is something I enjoy doing. I would like to somehow repay the archbishop who prayed at my mother’s bedside when she was on her deathbed─.”

“Isn’t it my job to pray for people? It’s really okay to go out. I have something to talk about with my daughter.”

The maid Bathory was moved by Archbishop Archibald’s broad-mindedness.

‘There will be no one in the world as kind and good as our archbishop.’

Sze-.

The maid bows her head and walks away.

Giik, tak-.

When the door was soon closed, Archbishop Medici Archibald sighed.

“Millie, Lady Psyche is married. I guess I need to send a congratulatory gift. What would be a good gift?”

“Psyche? With my second brother who is such a bitch? I’m not interested.”

The woman with very white hands turned the pages of the book indifferently.

Her beautiful expression was filled with signs of boredom and boredom.

The reason her expression suddenly changed was because of the following story from her father’s mouth.

“No, she married a monk named Hyde. ”

“ha? What kind of wooden monk? How did that happen? That Psyche just married a wooden monk?”

Milione Archibald.

Her nickname is Millie.

She recalled Psyche, whom she had met at a social gathering as a child.

Although Millie looked down on everyone in the world, she thought that Lady Psyche was worthy of having a conversation with her.

Millie thought it was quite amusing when Psyche played the role of a ‘trickster.’

It was a clumsy play, but it was a unique story.

And when Oscar Archibald was targeting Psyche, it got boring again.

But the plan of Oscar and his father, Archibald the Medici, was thwarted by one wooden monk?

I laughed a lot.

“Father, you must be very upset. A lot of effort was put into the Agarpe territory, wasn’t it?”

“It’s okay. I have many strategies in mind to stabilize the Durjien region. In that sense, Millie, you turned down all marriage talks this time too. Did you hate the eldest son of the Count of Ormandy?”

“They were all just boring men. For me. I like fireworks. If you want to introduce me to a man, please find a man with a spark of fire.”

Hwareuk-.

Millie looked up from her book and looked at the candle on the desk.

Inside Millie’s red eyes, the candle began to burn with large sparks flying.

“If I can marry a living flame, I don’t care even if it means being a concubine.”

“Millie, how could I send you, my precious daughter, as a concubine?”

“Of course, Archbishop Archibald! So, what kind of man will you be arbitrarily pairing me with this time? Are you planning on getting engaged to a prince like Lady Agarpe?”

“Don’t be sarcastic. Anyway, this father has some business in the capital and has to leave Florence for a while, so don’t cause any trouble in the meantime.”

As Archbishop Archibald was about to leave the room, Milione Archibald, a woman reputed to be beautiful in the kingdom, now turned her gaze back to the book.

「Tristan and Isolde」.

Of course, I had already read this book dozens of times, so no matter which page I opened, the only thing I found was boring.

It’s so boring that I can’t even see the text, so I can’t stand it.

‘This book isn’t the only thing that’s boring.’

Millie, who read all the books by Florence, the city of art and learning, always felt bored. It was so boring that I almost wished the world would burn to the ground.

‘I want a new story. That Psyche married a worthless wooden monk? Hyde, this is my first time hearing this name. An unfamiliar and new name. ‘I’d like to meet you sometime.’

Sze-. widely-.

Milione closed the book.

She said as she looked at her father about to leave the room.

“You said you were thinking about a congratulatory gift for your wedding, right? What was the name of the most troublesome cult group in the area?”

# # #

Psyche agarpe.

She wanted to remain single for the rest of her life.

But when a man hanged himself in front of her─.

—She felt a little sad as she realized that her life had been completely shaken.

And I hated that man, even if only a little.

Fortunately, the sadness and hatred did not last long.

Psyche took Hyde as her mate, and he successfully defeated Archibald’s male and female.

Hyde, which was thought to be a disaster, was actually Agarpe’s luck.

‘Just as Job, who suffered, was saved through it. A ray of sunshine began to seep into my dark cloudy life. Above all, my husband, Hyde, got along very well with me.’

Whenever she talked to Hyde, Psyche felt at ease and her heart lifted little by little. This was the first time in Psyche’s entire life that she got along well with other people other than her parents and younger brother.

‘I feel like we’ve known each other for a long time.’

Hyde also claimed that he was very passionately in love with Psyche.

Even Psyche felt it herself.

Psyche’s face always turned red at the thought of being newlywed.

Psyche became slightly dizzy at the story the man had just mentioned.

“Hyde, G, what did you just say?”

“I asked you to arrange a meeting for me and Archbishop Archibald’s daughter, Miss Milione. As long as you arrange a position, I will take care of making her your second wife.”

Second wife.

It was Psyche who recommended it.

Because Psyche was barren by oath.

Of course, in Psyche’s opinion, Hyde was also a devout ‘purist’, so there would have been no problem with the two having no children.

Hyde was an orphan.

Psyche felt sorry for Hyde and also wanted to create a ‘real family’ with him, so she planned to find a second wife herself.

And I swear to God, I had every intention of raising their child as if it were my own.

‘… But I thought you’d say no at least once!’

Without hesitation, Hyde accepted the invitation to take a second wife! It also tells the story of Abraham, the father of faith!

The problem was that he even asked Archbishop Archibald to arrange a meeting with his daughter, Milione.

“Hyde, you know very well that even if I were to stand in the middle, it would be unreasonable in many ways for you to meet Archibald’s daughter… .”

Milione Archibald.

Psyche’s heart sank as she thought of that arrogant, rude, and unpredictable woman.

Milione was the same age as Psyche, but even though the two had different personalities, they were very different.

“Please arrange a seat somehow. Other than that, I can take care of the rest.”

“So… This means that it is very impossible to create a space. Lady Milione is a woman who never sets foot outside her hometown of Florence. also… .”

Psyche searched and came up with many reasons why Hyde should not meet Milione. Fortunately, Psyche’s husband was the smartest man in the Agarpe territory and quickly understood.

“I said this because I knew you would say that.”

“What is that─.”

ah.

At that moment, Psyche realized.

And I was filled with emotion.

“Hyde, you… .”

Psyche’s husband, Hyde, had elegantly and wisely declined the story, saying, ‘I don’t need a second wife.’

At least that’s what Psyche thought, and she was moved and reflected on her own shortcomings.

‘It was I who said it was okay to take a second wife, but I did not do my best to introduce Lady Milione to Hyde.’

Is it because of the bad rumors about Milione?

Is it difficult to meet her?

That may have been the case, but Psyche felt a strange emotion welling up inside her for the first time.

‘Hyde is my husband. I too will only love Hyde. But what if Hyde falls further in love with another woman?’

The Bible contains many stories about men falling for second wives and foreign women. The wise king Solomon was like that, and so was Abraham, the father of faith.

‘What if my husband Hyde becomes like that?’

Kuuuk-.

I felt my chest tighten slightly.

Did I get sick?

Psyche had no idea what this feeling was because it was her first time feeling this way.

But Psyche was Psyche.

‘No, I trust Hyde. This is the man I chose to be my husband. And he said he loved me more than anyone else in the world. I said it would continue to be like that in the future!’

match-.

Psyche, who slapped herself to strengthen her resolve, borrowed paper and pen from Hyde.

“I will write a letter to Lady Milione. Of course, I can’t imagine that that picky and arrogant woman would ever leave Florence! I am Psyche who keeps her promises!”

Swish, swish, swish.

Psyche wrote a neat letter in very pretty handwriting and had a servant ride it on a horse.

Even if Milione, who received the letter, miraculously comes to this land of Agarpe, her husband, Hyde, will only look at her.

Psyche now had no doubt that she really believed that.

# # #

Psyche really wrote a letter to Archibald’s daughter.

However, it would be impossible for Lady Milione to leave Florence and come to this Agarpe estate.

How do you know?

Lady Milione was staying in Florence until five years later when I was called Rust.

It really never came out.

I also wanted to see the face of the archbishop’s daughter, a woman as beautiful as Psyche.

But, well, I thought it was an exaggerated rumor.

There is no other woman in the world as beautiful as Psyche.

Time passed with that feeling.

Psyche and I spent the night praying hard as usual and lay down in the same bed.

It’s already been a few days since I slept next to a pretty woman.

Just when I thought I was still not getting used to this situation, his closed blue eyes slowly opened and made eye contact with me.

“Hyde, so what happens to the nymph? I mean the nymph from your story. You started being chased by hunters. What happens to the nymph Oinoi?”

Nymph Oinoi was the main character in the story I wrote, “The Village of the Back Alley Nymphs.”

I ended the story at a desperate moment.

“To be honest, I can’t sleep because I’m curious about the next story.”

To make money with a novel in the 21st century, the skill of making people curious about the next episode was important, but it seems my cutting skills were a little sharp for these medieval people.

I closed my eyes, thinking about what happened next.

“It’s a secret.”

“It’s disastrous. If you continue writing the story next time, can you show it to me first, my wife? Is that true?”

Psyche liked my story.

That’s because the books in this world are all boring and old-fashioned stories of encouragement and punishment.

The most interesting story is One Thousand and One Nights, and it is somewhat absurd.

In such a world, my story containing the essence of the 21st century must have been truly addictive!

It wouldn’t be difficult to lure Dihon with a novel.

The next morning, I went to sleep with that thought in mind.

Sze-.

Yesterday, the maid who guarded Dihon’s room approached me.

“Prince Hyde, Prince Dihon would like to see you.”

good.

It’s coming.

With that in mind, I stood in front of Dihon’s door.

Then Dihon spoke through the door.

━Brother-in-law, it was a really interesting story. But there’s something I don’t understand. So what is that status window? Can you see the letters in front of you?

this.

Was it difficult to get a boy of about ten years old to understand the status window, which often appears in 21st century novels?

When thinking about that, the boy said.

━Seeing ability in numbers! How did you come up with that idea? What is a Nymph Pokémon? Can I evolve with an evolution stone? Hyde, this is my first time reading such an interesting story! It was so much fun that my heart was pounding—cough, huh, chuck, huh… .

Dihon began coughing violently.

dump-.

A falling sound was also heard.

I held onto the door as I heard the sound of my breath falling out.

“Dihon!”

Then the maid was startled and blocked my arm.

“Ha, if you enter carelessly, bad spirits may transfer to Confucius─.”

“If Confucius dies like this, will you be responsible? I take responsibility for everything that happens after I open the door. Open the door. Scout, this is an order.”

“… Command!?”

The maid was surprised when I looked at her eyes and spoke.

She became extremely anxious and let go of her hand on the doorknob.

I burst through the door and grabbed the boy who was lying in the middle of the room.

His skin was pale and his breathing was weak, but he was conscious.

“… Selim said that no one else should come in… .”

The skin was so cold that it had a bluish tint.

His health didn’t look very good.

That has to be the case.

Selim, when he said that he would draw out Dihon’s blood with an unsterilized knife as much as a bowl, it was a natural result that something like this would happen.

“Heart disease causes problems with blood circulation. In the meantime, blood was drawn and blood pressure was lowered, so of course the body broke down.”

Rather, I’m surprised that I’m still alive.

Now, it seemed like the boy’s body had a longer lifeline than I thought.

The bones were thick.

Is he really Psyche’s younger brother and Doban’s son?

Then, of course, this guy must also be an Auror user.

“Dihon, from today onwards, I will take full charge of your treatment. Selim, I think it would be very problematic to have that old man next to you any longer.”

Sze-.

I got up from my seat.

It was the moment when the goal was decided.

I went straight to Dovan Agarpe’s office.

Early moning.

He was talking about something with Selim at the time.

“Son-in-law, what’s going on?”

“Count, please stop treating Selim. His treatment is actually killing Dihon. If you stop Selim for just one week, I will make Dihon better.”
