The Pope’s frown narrowed.

“… Did you come to say something so unbecoming of poetry?”

The two are in a relationship.

This was clearly a blood relationship.

Verification has already been completed.

The Pope thought of Albert’s mother, the woman with whom he had a one-night stand.

‘… ‘She was a woman with visible ambition.’

That’s why I used a ‘strange’ trick on myself.

Because I gave birth to Albert.

Anyway.

It is true that blood was mixed.

The Pope helped Albert as much as he could.

however-.

It started to go too far.

Just like my mother.

He had begun to express his ambition to a level that was clearly visible.

The beginning is the existence of the Black Knight.

The Pope muttered quietly.

“Now, there is a limit to how much I can tolerate.”

“What are you saying that you tolerate me doing?”

“Did you forget what you told me before?”

Really.

Those were shocking words.

Something that even the Pope himself could not have imagined.

“… ah! You mean that story?”

Albert smiled.

A memory from a while ago.

Albert once wrote a letter to the Pope.

“Obviously I… ”

Albert’s lips were sweet.

At the same time, the Pope’s eyebrows also narrowed.

Because I remembered the feelings at that time.

“It was said that it would be better to dethrone the emperor and have the Pope assume the role of emperor.”

“… Do you know how stupid that sounds?”

Albert shrugged his shoulders.

“What a fool… . Honestly, wasn’t the current emperor also a puppet of the church?”

“That… Yes, but.”

I had nothing to say.

The emperor’s puppet-like existence.

It was the Pope himself who made him like that.

“Anyway, all the people of the empire know. Who is the owner of the Holy Eimor Empire?”

“… .”

The Pope was silent.

There was nothing wrong with what was said.

They say that the owner of the empire is the emperor, but the actual owner is different.

Pope.

Because he had authority that surpassed that of the emperor.

There’s no way he doesn’t know what he has.

but-.

That and this were different.

“It won’t be difficult. I will take care of everything.”

“… Shut up.”

A bit of conscience.

That stopped the Pope.

This shouldn’t be done.

There are degrees.

however-.

Albert showed no intention of giving up his will.

“If you don’t like it, just hand over the position of Pope to me.”

“… Are you speaking in your right mind?”

“Yes.”

It was “. I don’t want to see you, so get out.”

Feeling frustrated, the Pope drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

however-.

Moment.

The Pope noticed that Albert’s eyes had changed.

An ominous thought passed through my mind.

“… Could it be you?”

“All preparations have already been completed.”

The Pope felt his vision becoming blurry.

Ominous thoughts.

Isn’t this always wrong?

‘Ah, Albert. It looks like Jieomi and has become a monster… .’

Is it my fault for not giving affection?

Or is that just Albert’s innate personality?

Consciousness gradually became blurred.

The Pope’s body slowly fell forward.

Albert whispered, looking down at the Pope.

“It won’t be painful. It is a mercy left to the only blood relatives.”

Albert.

The first thing he did after ascending to the position of archbishop was the creation of the Black Knights.

and-.

The first mission the Dark Knights took on.

It was an attempt to assassinate Albert’s own mother.

Trying to control you from behind.

A woman with only ambition.

“Is it just old fashioned old people who are left next?”

Albert walked out at a leisurely pace.

at the same time-.

Two knights in black armor stood on either side of Albert.

“How are you?”

Albert smiled.

“… There are no disruptions to the plan. Let’s proceed right away.”

After saying that.

Albert left quietly.

And the next day.

News of the Pope’s death spread throughout the capital of the empire.

at the same time-.

The next Pope has also been decided.

12th Pope.

This became the seat of Archbishop Albert.

***

Perhaps, if the saint had two eyes…

You must have been so surprised that your eyes widened.

“Uh, why does that make you… !”

As if something I wanted to hide was discovered.

The saint’s voice trembled.

“… It didn’t bump into me when it came up. It looks like you dropped it at that time. It was rolling around on the floor.”

The saint was silent for a moment.

Looks like he’s organizing his thoughts.

First, I approached the saint.

“Here it is.”

and-.

I handed the ring to the saint.

“I couldn’t take the necklace. Because it’s so old… .”

“Uh, uh… .”

Is the saint still confused?

I couldn’t do anything about the two hands that held the ring.

and-.

I turned my back and was about to go back.

“Thank you!”

The cry of a saint heard from behind.

When I turned my head to check, I saw the saintess hugging the ring with her head down.

That look seemed really ‘affectionate’ to me.

It’s like something.

As if a girl was hugging a doll that she boasted was a treasure.

Such affection was evident.

“… Don’t forget it in the future.”

All I can say is this.

No other words came out.

Really, I wonder who the saint values so much.

***

Eren leaves.

The saint quietly touched the ring in her arms.

and-.

I put the ring on my hand.

‘… It should have been done like this a long time ago.’

Although-.

My beloved Chris is gone.

The only trace he gave remained.

You say you won’t forget, but you just wear it around your neck.

It was funny.

“I will never lose it.”

Even if someone finds it strange.

She was a saint who decided to wear a ring.

The saint left just like that.

One person reappeared in that place.

Wizard Rose.

She was there from start to finish.

I watched the saint and Eren.

It had only now been revealed.

“It’s become more fun?”

A wizard with a dark smile.

Her eyes were focused on the direction the saint had left.

But what can I say?

Her gaze seemed to contain an unknown hatred.

***

I guess I can only say I’m sorry for not being able to finish it properly. I had the story all planned out, but I lost the energy to continue the series.

[This is a format in which the story planned from here is developed briefly.] – I omitted a lot and included only the important parts.

The second ordeal is the ordeal of justice.

Only a warrior can undergo this ordeal, and through this ordeal, a warrior realizes that ‘justice’ is what it is. The justice that the warrior realized was, ‘To win, you must hit the child’s head without hesitation.’

So, after the second ordeal.

The road to the final ordeal.

Meanwhile, bloodshed is blowing in the church. Albert, who became Pope, began purging those who opposed his will. Among them was Archbishop Porsipia.

Archbishop Porsipia realized that his life was coming and going. To protect her, a paladin named ‘Theresia’ escorts her.

but.

Archbishop Porsipia orders Theresa to protect the saint more than her own life.

after-.

The final ordeal location.

Blessings are bestowed upon the trials here. And thanks to this blessing, the fog that had filled Eren’s mind disappeared.

In other words, you get your memories back.

After regaining his memories, Eren is confused for a moment, but quickly comes to his senses. Because the important thing in the current situation is to defeat the ‘Devil King’.

like that-.

Above the blessing, the entrance to the demon world opens.

Total capacity is 4 people.

First the hero goes, then Eren passes.

however-.

Before the third wizard can get there, the entrance closes. The wizard threw a bead containing the souls of two people at the entrance to the demon world.

As a result, a total of four people are recognized as entering, and the door to the demon world is closed.

at the same time.

The wizard tries to act, but the saint notices. A soul bead thrown by a wizard. Because I sensed the divine power of the two people there.

A saint who pretended to obey obediently.

Thanks to Theresia, who arrived just in time, the crisis is averted.

A pursuer catches up with the fleeing saint.

Uliver, the warrior’s teacher. While pursuing the saint, he meets Theresa. And then a battle breaks out, and Theresia is defeated.

Uliver could have gone after the saint, but decided not to. ‘Remorse’. Because I couldn’t kill a girl the same age as my daughter.

When he returns after missing the saint, he is naturally reprimanded by Albert, who has become pope.

*

That time.

Eren and the hero head to the Demon World. He despairs that there are only two heroes and becomes deeply frustrated. Eren speaks to such a hero.

“I will tell you the truth about the world.”

The truth of the world.

To be exact, it was the truth related to the hero and the demon king. Eren learned the truth while searching for the ruins.

truth.

It was the goddesses of two worlds playing a game.

The pieces of chess are the hero and the devil.

It was a game that was close to taking the cake.

The hero who learned the truth is still frustrated, but Eren moves on. Seeing Eren like this, the hero asks how he will catch the demon lord without the hero.

The answer was simple.

Eren talks about hurting a hero while training. Just as ordinary beings hurt heroes, the Demon King is not the only one who can hurt heroes.

at last.

The hero follows Eren.

Gradually, the hero becomes dependent on Eren. While traveling through the demon world, the hero develops a crush on Eren and discovers that he is a woman.

The final battle with the Demon King is just around the corner.

The hero confesses to Eren. But Eren rejects that confession. It was partly because memories of the past came to mind, but more than that, it was because I had already grown to like the saint.

like that-.

Eren rejected the hero’s suggestion that the two of them live in hiding after returning. Immediately, there is a decisive battle with the Demon King.

*

With the help of a good old man, the evacuated saint takes refuge there. Even here, I find myself lost in many thoughts.

Thinking that he will eventually harm the old man, he runs away at night.

however.

While running away that night.

Encounter the pursuer.

The pursuers were Uliver, Lecter, and a black knight. Here, Lecter is Rector Koblache, a nobleman who had an affair with a saint.

Lecter surprises Uliver, who hesitates. This was a separate order from Albert.

Just like that, Uliver falls from an unexpected attack. Lecter approaches the saint with lust.

In the end, the saint is captured by Lecter.

Lecter says:

“You don’t even know your own name, do you? love me If so, let me know.”

A curse cast by a wizard.

It was a curse that made the saint forget her own name.

When the saint realizes this fact, she despairs again. Because I lost the only name I had. Trembling with fear, I touch the ring.

And the moment of crisis when Lecter’s hand touches the saint.

Lecter suddenly falls over, and the saintess notices it afterwards. The only being whose divine power cannot be detected.

This is Eren.

however-.

Eren starts saying strange things. And finally, Eren calls the saint’s name.

“Rhenia. I was too late. I’m Chris. Chris Fletcher.”

The saintess is embarrassed by the incomprehensible situation… .

Aaron, or rather Chris, continues his persuasion.

“Can I say what I couldn’t say then, here and now?”

“… What? ”

“Let’s run away together.”

In the end, the saint comes to believe that Eren is Chris.

Then, taking the saint with him, he heads to the rebel headquarters.

*

Rebel headquarters.

The warrior had already arrived here.

“I’m just returning the favor.”

With that excuse. The rebels carry out a large-scale operation.

The rebels are winning the battle against the empire with all their might.

Eventually, it reaches the capital of the empire.

Afterwards, the final battle takes place.

*

Albert and Wizard Rose. These two were a relationship between a man and a woman. The wizard was a woman who moved under orders from Albert.

And it was a wizard who killed the saint’s father, Count Ruber.

Chris found out about this.

Chris faces the final battle.

He faces difficulties due to the magic of numerous Black Knights and Rose. Since my companion was late dealing with the imperial army, I had to fight alone.

Such a moment of crisis-.

Renia prays, and the prayer reaches Chris. Chris feels overflowing with power. At the same time, I think about things from the past.

When I fell off the cliff. The reason why he lost his memory even though he should have died originally. It was thanks to Lenia’s prayer.

like that-.

Chris, who has recovered his stamina, defeats both the Black Knight and Rose and stands in front of Albert. Albert speaks at the last moment.

“If there is an afterlife, I want to become a demon king. It makes me feel sick to my stomach to think of a happy future for you guys. I hope you guys are unhappy.”

And spit out curses until the last moment. He is killed by Chris’ sword.

after-.

The empire was divided, and the surrounding kingdoms that had pretended not to notice when the rebels revolted began to act quickly.

Chris hears from rebel leader Esther that he is of royal blood. At the same time, he is asked whether he has any intention of rebuilding the kingdom properly.

In short, I asked him if he had any intention of becoming king.

Chris refuses that question.

and-.

Return to Renia. A wedding for two. A wedding just for two.

Renia asks Chris.

“I… I feel like I’ll only be a hindrance in the future, but am I really okay?”

Renia feels guilty about being blind.

I hesitate because I think it might make Chris uncomfortable.

But Chris was adamant.

“The only driving force that moved me was you. You are not a hindrance to me.”

Renia sheds tears at this.

“I love you, Renia.”

“I love you too. From when the world was beautiful.”

And.

Even though we have returned to an era where war was rampant.

The story ends with these two living peacefully in a remote place.
