People who don’t know what the Inquisitor does are initially curious.

When I received a favorable gaze, there were times when I wondered when that gaze would change.

‘The more interest there is, the faster the gaze changes.’

Don’t pay attention to what the Inquisitors are doing.

It’s not for nothing that they say that in church.

The more the priests do not keep it, the faster their illusions about the Inquisitor will be shattered.

Ultimately, only those who have kept a certain distance can look at the Inquisitor favorably.

That’s why I developed a habit of giving short answers when I was talking to other people so that the conversation wouldn’t last long.

That would be good for both himself and the priest who would come to know the red truth and be disappointed.

There’s no point in trying to become friends for no reason; it’ll only lead to a greater sense of betrayal later on.

‘This place was doomed from the start.’

He arrived at the mission site and, as usual, escaped from the crowd of people who showed curiosity about him.

I didn’t pay much attention to their goodwill because it was a mirage that could disappear at any time.

Since we already know that the future will end badly for both of us, why bother with such a meaningless relationship?

‘You said there was a high probability that there were heretics lurking near the labyrinth.’

The mission he was given was to eliminate heretics.

There is talk that there is a high probability that heretics are running rampant both inside and outside the labyrinth.

Before officially dispatching the Inquisitor, he needed to go there himself and check the situation outside the labyrinth.

But the situation in the labyrinth was more serious than expected.

‘I never thought I’d encounter a heretic right from day one.’

A heretic encountered at an unexpected moment.

I couldn’t not know.

They had necklaces with symbols representing evil spirits.

‘Wearing a necklace with an evil spirit symbol on it so blatantly.’

It was impossible to know when the heresy, which I thought was sufficiently suppressed, began to run wild like this.

Of course, they kidnapped the man and tortured him.

Since we caught one heretic, we had to trace the roots of the heresy, starting with the interest.

However, he himself had a hopeless lack of talent for healing.

That’s why this incident had to happen.

“Hmm.”

I confirmed that all the traces of torture that I had worked so hard to create had disappeared, leaving behind only a few scars.

‘A peculiar priest.’

He showed excessive kindness to the heretics.

But there was no way to stop it.

Because I thought the priest knew full well that it was unnecessary.

‘Do I have to start over?’

Torturing heretics is always difficult, even if it is a familiar task.

It’s even more arduous to have to start over from scratch.

But he silently began preparing for torture again.

I couldn’t bring him back for another round of treatment, so I decided not to take matters into my own hands this time.

I had already extracted most of the information that needed to be extracted, but I had to check it thoroughly until the end.

First, they woke the man up by spraying him with cold water.

“Ugh! Ugh! Gulp, gulp!”

He pulled out a knife and held it in front of the man who woke up coughing violently.

There was no need to say much.

The man screamed as he saw the knife in front of him.

Today, Iza will tell you everything she knows without me having to ask.

Even if the price is only to kill them so they don’t suffer any more.

Unfortunately, the temple priests failed to apologize for what happened that day.

It wasn’t that the priests said they would do it and then changed their words.

It was because the Inquisitor did not give them a chance to apologize.

‘I guess I’ll just have to see you face to face and have a conversation before I can even try.’

Unfortunately, the Inquisitor disappeared from the temple after that day and has not appeared in the temple since.

It seems like he’s wandering around the dorms at dawn, but he’s really just sleeping there.

‘You may wonder why they’re so busy, but it’s clear to anyone that they’re looking for heretics.’

Otherwise, there’s no way they would have tortured a man and brought him here out of the blue.

As a result, the priests’ expressions became more gloomy as each day passed.

It would be difficult to see the Inquisitor in the temple right away, unless they were planning to enter the labyrinth.

‘I was skeptical, but are there a lot of heretics around the labyrinth?’

If it becomes known that there is an altar to an evil god inside the labyrinth, I think heretics from all over the world will come here to enter the labyrinth.

Of course, this isn’t all bad.

The reason why heretics cannot be eradicated is because they survive by hiding like cockroaches.

What if we took this opportunity to spread rumors and lure them into the labyrinth before exterminating them?

‘The inquisitors may like it, but for priests like us, the very presence of heretics is an annoyance.’

Wouldn’t it be possible for them to become so determined that they terrorize the temple?

Although the knights are protecting the temple, considering the horrors the heretics commit, even attempting to do so would be fatal to the temple.

‘I think I need to find out what he’s been up to.’

Since I can’t show my face, I can’t interfere.

If that doesn’t work out, I’ll have to wait until late at night and stop by her place to talk.

‘I don’t think you’ll like it very much.’

I’m a little at a loss as to how to proceed with my relationship with this person.

While I was minding the Inquisitor.

That moment has finally come for Princess Rasiel.

“That kid is here.”

Princess Rasiel, who has been visiting the temple since early morning and gritting her teeth.

It is said that today, the prince whom Princess Rasiel was jealous of arrived at the labyrinth.

“Shouldn’t you have gone to pick me up?”

“Why should I go pick you up?”

Princess Rasiel sat in a very awkward posture, wiggling her feet and speaking rudely.

Perhaps he was making excuses for not staying at his accommodation and coming to the temple.

“You shouldn’t make excuses about being in the temple.”

“God will also tolerate my actions today. He will have no choice but to feel pity for me.”

It seemed like he really didn’t want to meet me.

I know it’s unusual for brothers and sisters to get along so well.

But I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed because what Princess Rasiel was showing was not just dislike, but disgust.

Since I don’t think he hated me that much from the beginning, I guessed that maybe he had been building up karma for me from the other side.

“I know this is not a situation that can be avoided continuously.”

“Yeah. If I don’t see you, you’ll come and try to get me to do something. That’s what a persistent, petty, and narrow-minded guy is like.”

She stood up from her seat, still continuing her sharp criticism of her older brother.

“I don’t know if it would be better if you avoided it, but there’s nothing more foolish than putting off something that you can’t do because it’s annoying. I don’t think you expected me to be like this, right? ”

He asks solemnly, like a general going to fight the enemy on the battlefield.

“If what I said made you uncomfortable, you don’t have to. If you’re having a hard time, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a break here.”

I felt bad because it seemed like I was the one who kicked him out.

But Princess Rasiel shook her head.

“No! You didn’t kick me out, you gave me courage. Courage to correct my weak heart!”

‘When me?’

Princess Rasiel opened the real door and went out, seemingly unable to see me, who was bewildered by the absurd talk.

Because I couldn’t just sit there like that, I followed behind her.

“Little brother!!”

“Hic!”

As Princess Rasiel was walking, she saw a man in the distance, with his arms outstretched and looking delighted.

As soon as Princess Rasiel saw the man, she turned pale and took a step back.

All the way to where I was, following her.

Princess Rasiel, whose face I saw, was so badly crumpled that I thought she wouldn’t have been this crumpled even if she had eaten shit.

“I heard that you were obsessed with religion out of the blue. I was skeptical when I saw that you didn’t even come to greet your brother, but you really are here!”

“Ah… I suddenly feel sick.”

Princess Rasiel stumbled, holding her forehead as if she was about to vomit.

The sudden change was disconcerting, as he had been walking around normally until just a moment ago.

“Are you okay?”

“Ugh, they’re coming closer.”

The reason Princess Rasiel was complaining of nausea was clearly because of the man coming towards her.

As the man came closer, the princess’s complexion became increasingly worse.

“That person…?”

“Yeah. That’s the kid.”

Princess Rasiel was so disgusting that I thought the prince would hate her too.

However, the prince who actually met was clearly happy about meeting Princess Rasiel.

“Rasiel, you must have been praying too hard. You’ve lost weight!”

The man, no, the prince approached Princess Rasiel and asked worriedly while examining her complexion.

Princess Rasiel, still with a shit-eaten expression, spoke pointedly to the prince.

“Why did you follow me here and make a fuss!!”

“Hehehe! I was worried because you lost weight, but you still have a lot of energy.”

Even though Princess Rasiel was screaming sharply, the prince was tolerantly accepting her tantrums as if he was tolerating his younger brother’s tantrums.

Besides, the prince’s impression did not match at all with what Princess Rasiel had said.

‘I thought you were really ugly and strange because Princess Rasiel criticized you so much…’

The prince I actually met was tall, handsome, and even showed a gentlemanly side by tolerating his younger brother’s sharp retorts.

Because of the prince’s attitude, Princess Rasiel, who would spout sharp words, seemed immature.
