111 – Hyde goes to the royal road for his second marriage #1

Pope Gregory.

He appeared and devoured the fully prepared meal.

Who would have thought that he would make the beautifully made stage his own.

Actually, I was expecting him to show up at the end.

The man who can prove Rehoboam’s innocence -.

Because it was truly none other than Arud Gregory, the most powerful lawyer.

“Lord Alter! Take Hecate and behead her yourself!”

however.

Pope Gregory seemed angry that his adopted son Rehoboam had attempted to revolt and was stopped by Hyde.

To vent his anger, he ordered the witch Hecate to be beheaded.

Even though we were adopted children, they probably couldn’t forgive us for trying to encroach on the Pope’s family, right?

Soinbae guy.

Wasn’t it because you didn’t educate Rehoboam well that he went astray?

I can’t believe I’m taking out my anger on other people on a topic like that.

“What are they doing! Alter! Instead of beheading the witch of the shady cult that is disturbing Barakhan and spilling her blood!”

Pope Gregory shouted again.

Alter Archibald looked at the faces of Hecate and Pope Gregory in turn, and his expression hardened as if he was extremely nervous.

Alter Archibald.

How would you act in this situation?

I also looked at this scene with interest.

Personal promises and papal orders.

Witch and ruler.

Friendship and faith.

What choice will “Paradise – Alter Archibald” make between these two incompatible characters?

“I… .”

Alter muttered softly as if sensing some great hesitation.

The people who saw this were agitated, as if they were puzzled.

“Isn’t Sir Alter’s condition strange?”

“Are you really trying to side with the witch instead of following His Holiness the Pope’s orders?”

“Ah, no way-.”

Pope Gregory furrowed his brow at the commotion.

Gregory’s expression seemed very angry and in a bad mood.

“Alter Archbolt. Are you saying you can’t follow my orders? In some cases, this may be considered a clear act of treason and apostasy─.”

It was right then.

Someone burst out laughing.

People’s eyes focused on the witch who burst into laughter one by one.

Witch Hecate said, wiping away the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand.

“I tried to lure Rehoboam and even the Holy Knight Alter. It’s really unfortunate. Your priests in the Holy See are rotten. The Elohim you believe in is also corrupt.”

Hecate laughed for a while and then frowned.

The guy shouted to those around him.

“… I am Hecate, the taboo witch! I curse you all… ! It is a curse that brings more shameful and terrible pain than anything else on the happiest and most joyous day… !”

“Hey, shut that witch’s mouth!”

“As expected, Lord Alter was possessed by a witch!”

“Let’s hang the witch!”

Crowds were easily incited and angry.

They were intent on killing the witch in front of them, and it looked like they would actually do so.

I now looked at Alter.

The guy clenched his fists and then lowered his head.

“His Holiness Gregory. I promised to hand over my share of indulgences to Hecate. Please forgive her sins and accept her into the arms of the church and community with a generous heart.”

Stupid guy.

Is the idea you came up with after much thought ultimately going to be a head-on approach?

In fact, Gregory looked very unhappy.

“Are you going to disobey my orders?”

I can’t do it.

Sze-.

I broke the silence and knelt in front of Gregory.

“His Holiness the Pope. If foolish sinners like us commit sins, how many times will the Lord forgive them?”

“Bronze Plate Priest Hyde. I, Gregory, don’t like questions. But to answer that question, the Lord said that He forgives our sins a thousand times, ten thousand times.”

“That’s it. If we do not forgive the ignorant sins of the witch Hecate, the Lord will not forgive our sins either.”

“… … .”

Gregory frowned without hiding his expression.

His face said he couldn’t bear it because he wanted to punish Alter Archibald for somehow killing the witch Hecate and bringing her to this church.

I added to him in a quiet voice.

“Also, the witch Hecate is a person who knows many things. Since she was present when Pendragon’s daughter was born, I believe she may know the answer to His Holiness Pope Gregory’s curiosity─.”

“I truly have no questions… !”

To lie-.

I asked you if you had heard anything from Aguileth when I captured her in the Citadel of Indulgence.

It’s not clear, but information that only Agiles may know -.

It was clear that Gregory was curious about that.

And that information is probably about the Uniger royal family.

Something about the three sacred powers of the royal family.

“But the Lord Elohim is the ruler of love and forgiveness. A devoted believer is one who loves his enemies and forgives those who have sinned. good night-. I will revoke Hecate’s death penalty!”

Sze-.

Pope Gregory spread his arms left and right as if he were a great man.

People were moved by that sight.

“He forgives the witch’s sins.”

“His Holiness Pope Gregory has a generous heart!”

Gregory seemed to be quite happy with the praise from people.

The witch Hecate was now taken away by the hands of people.

“Also, promote Hyde, a bronze priest, to a silver priest. Above.”

“Hyde!!! It’s so amazing that I can’t even say anything!!!”

Psyche screamed at me.

The voice was so loud that it made my heart skip a beat.

Whisper-.

Psyche finally embraces me.

“Hyde! You are such an amazing person! You completely defeated Rehoboam! No one will ever achieve something so great!!!”

Crunch-.

My body screamed, like a scarecrow being hugged by a bear.

If I were to die in a hug like this, would I be considered a noble person?

When Milione thought that, his temper flared.

“Hey! If you do that, it will break! Your husband, Hyde, is a foxtail! You crazy bitch! Get away quickly!”

Sze-.

Due to Milione’s foul temper, Psyche let me go.

Thanks to that, I could breathe freely, but I felt as helpless as Adam who had been kicked out of heaven.

It really felt like I could see heaven.

Psyche continued to speak as if her excitement had not subsided.

“It was a series of truly amazing events! Lord Agiles appears, and His Holiness the Pope himself appears again-. And above all, the story that the princess of Uniger is alive… .”

It was Psyche with a rather serious expression.

Psyche’s Agarpe family must have been a strong supporter of the Uniger royal family. Since he had betrayed her in the end, it was natural to feel strange about the surviving member of the royal family.

“But Pendragon’s child is actually a daughter? My father, Doban, clearly said that he had betrothed me to the future prince. How on earth did this happen?”

what-.

The technology to distinguish whether a child is a boy or a girl while in the womb was only possible with advanced medical science in the 21st century.

In these dark times, how would you know if your unborn child was a girl or a boy?

I thought it was just a story like “if the unborn child is a boy, let him marry the daughter you will give birth to someday.”.

“From the beginning, Psyche, your engagement was invalid. And that means that you and I are a couple made by the providence of the Lord Elohim.”

“… Hyde!”

Psyche held my hand as if she was very moved.

Although Psyche was wearing gloves, the warmth of the person she felt beyond them was warmer, softer, and fluffier than anyone else’s.

“Hyde. It’s something I’ve felt for a long time, but I feel like you and I have known each other for quite some time. Is the day we first saw each other really our first meeting?”

Psyche looked at me with moved eyes.

If you asked seriously, “Was that day our first meeting?” it would actually be a lie.

Because I returned to the past using the power of the Holy Grail.

Milione immediately starts to vomit and vomit.

“How is it that this girl is saying such shameful things? It seems like we’ve known each other for a long time. A line like that won’t appear even in “The Village of Back Alley Nymphs”!”

Milione had a bad temper.

As expected, this guy is nothing but an obstacle between me and Psyche.

If this guy hadn’t suddenly popped out in the first place, I wouldn’t have had to wear Rust’s mask.

Milione had about 97% of the stake in becoming the villain I didn’t want.

I can’t do it.

After all, I have to abandon it somehow.

As I was thinking that, Alter waved his hand at me from a distance.

“Hyde! His Holiness Gregory is looking for you!”

“Really?”

Why are you calling me and annoying me again?

As I was thinking that, Alter grabbed my hand.

I was really surprised.

“… … !”

You bastard!

Why are you holding someone else’s hand?

I hate men touching each other more than anything else!

“Hyde. Thanks to you, I can now give Hecate a new chance. I owe you a lot. If it weren’t for you, Hecate would be dead by now.”

“No. It probably wasn’t like that.”

Pope Gregory was a man who spoke and acted differently.

He must have said, “Kill Hecate,” but ended up keeping her alive, making excuses. I merely provided the opportunity.

Anyway, Hecate is a person who knows a lot of information.

“Hyde, raise your head.”

Gregory was sitting on the pope’s throne.

Since I was alone with no one around, this king’s hall felt very spacious.

Pope Gregory sat down and poured out his anger on me.

“You idiot! What if I reveal to the world that Pendragon’s daughter is alive? And who can handle Rehoboam’s affairs like that?”

I remembered that Pope Gregory always tried to maintain a solemn appearance.

Perhaps because there was no one there, he couldn’t control his emotions and just poured out his anger at me.

The volume was so good that my ears felt tingling.

“I just did what I had to do. On the contrary, shouldn’t it be praised? I stopped Prince Rehoboam before he caused a bigger accident.”

“Noisy! Do you think I left him alone because I was unaware of his deviation? That guy was the link to the “Gourmet Club”! Won’t all the nobles who were able to completely defeat him through that guy hide in their rat holes now?”

indeed-.

Are you planning to use Rehoboam to capture members of the unknown gourmet club at once?

Don’t say anything sooner.

“I didn’t know.”

What can I do if I’ve already done it?

However, Gregory threw the cane he was holding in front of me with all his might.

“Quiet! Don’t you dare lie to me! Other idiots might know, but there’s no way you didn’t know that! This happens even if you know it! Do I have to turn my stomach over to feel relieved?”

You should have worked hand in hand with me a long time ago.

If they had taken action right away when I came to the palace and reported Rehoboam, the matter wouldn’t have escalated like this.

Gregory sighed and said, “After a while.”

“Since this is what you did, there must be a solution, right? The most difficult and powerful force in this united kingdom is the Gourmet Association. They are the ones who call themselves kings in a dark rat hole.”

Sze-.

When Gregory reached for the cane, the cane lying in front of me was sucked into his hand.

Just when I thought it was an amazing technique, Gregory added.

“A secret plan to bring them down. I guess that’s what you have, right? That’s probably why they started this mess.”

There is “. It is obvious that the Gourmet Club, which has learned of the existence of Princess Uniger, will use her as a focal point. You will both be itching to get your hands on it.”

“So.”

“You take advantage of her and take the first step. His Holiness Pope Gregory. Your Holiness probably already knows where that woman is and what she is doing, right?”

“… … .”

Gregory was silent.

It was such a cool and cold silence that I couldn’t believe it was someone who had been angry like a child just now.

phut-.

Soon he hit the cane in his hand on the floor once.

“Hyde. You had a promise to me. The story was that he wanted to take Archibald’s daughter as his second wife. I also told her to wash away Lady Archibald’s name with my authority.”

“It was so.”

But my thoughts have changed between then and now.

As expected, Milione was not someone worthy of being a second wife.

Psyche is enough for my wife.

As I was about to say that, Gregory said.

“Hyde. You shall make Milione Archibald your second wife. This is the Pope’s command. But before that, we need to perform Lady Archibald’s “Purification Ceremony.””

“No, after all, a second marriage is a bit─.”

“Making people new. It comes from the “Holy Grail,” the treasure of Lord Elohim. Hyde. Head to the royal capital and bring the “Holy Grail.” Until then, entry into the church is strictly prohibited!”

Sze-.

I had to leave without saying anything more.

Then I remembered that I didn’t say the most important thing.

“His Holiness the Pope. I think I left out the most important story. What will happen if my book “Village of Back Alley Nymphs” is placed in churches across the country?”
