Noon the next day, Daesinjeon.

As promised, Siron appeared in front of Seonghwang again.

“Did you come alone?”

However, unlike yesterday, I was barefoot.

Success. Diego Calirio smiled, his green eyes shining.

“I just didn’t enter the room. The group is on the first floor. I’m probably looking at the torch hanging in the corridor.”

“After the story is over, you can take your time and look around.”

“Is that necessary? I’m going to leave right away after I run my errands anyway. And.”

Siron looked around, hiding his hands inside his robes. Unlike yesterday, when all 12 cardinals were gathered together. There was nothing but bustle in the room.

“Didn’t Your Majesty come alone?”

“The more people listening, the more difficult it is to bring up sensitive topics.”

“…”

“Didn’t you say that to me 10 years ago?”

‘I like my hair too. ‘I remember every single word of a child who couldn’t become a rank-and-file priest.’

Siron sighed openly and showed signs of discomfort. It was not his nature to be rude to those who deserved respect, but it was okay for Diego Rio Calli, the Holy Emperor.

Diego didn’t show any signs of agitation even when he boasted yesterday that he was a hero. For 10 years now, I thought he was being overly kind to Siron, and yesterday’s incident gave me a rough idea of the reason.

“Yes, that’s right. That’s why I came alone.”

Siron turned his neck around as if to relax his body. And then he asked directly.

“Since when did you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“The fact that I am a warrior.”

“…It may be hard to believe, but yesterday was the first time I learned that you are a hero.”

[It’s not a lie.]

“However, I knew from the moment I first met him that he was a special boy.”

“…”

“Of course, except that he is a member of a special family called Prien.”

Diego raised his head as if reminiscing about a distant past. Because the roof of the main temple was made of glass dome, he could naturally see the blue sky.

[What are you going to talk about?]

‘…Do you understand?’

Although he answered indifferently, Siron felt a sense of relief that filled his heart.

Diego Rio Cali. A longevity servant, an elf, who has held the position of unusually prosperous king twice even in the hundreds of hundreds of years of Lucerne’s history.

That alone was unusual enough, but if you know the process by which the Holy Emperor of Lucerne came to the throne, you cannot help but be even more conscious of his existence.

A privilege that the Holy Emperor has.

The success achieved at the end of the term can determine the next success.

Basically, it is a prosperous reign that lasts for several decades, so the next generation requires at least 100 years or more.

There were cases where a mute newborn baby or a person who had not even been born was taken over, and there were also cases where an elf who was leisurely farming in the great forest was selected.

In short, it was a miracle that could not be explained without the power of prophecy. A miracle intervenes in the very place of prosperity. God’s will dwells.

Therefore, the position of Holy Emperor may be more respected than that of the emperor of an empire.

‘It’s not because I don’t know shame that I put my name on the next level. ‘Revelation intervened twice in Diego’s accession to the throne.’

He is a man who is close to an absolute being who does not even show his face. Even excluding yesterday’s scary incident, it was natural for Siron to be wary of Diego.

Why did a man named Cha Hyeon-jun possess Siron Prien, and where is Yura?

At first, I thought Yura was possessed by that fucking idiot. Why aren’t there many similar stories?

A crazy psychopathic programmer. If I push myself into a death game because I want to show off my idiotic philosophy.

However, that idea was modified after several years of consideration.

No matter how much Yura’s humanity was, there was no way he would have gone through the trouble of going directly into that era of chaos 500 years ago.

-If you act so foolishly, the result will be foolish, you idiot!

Cha Hyun-jun remembers Yura as a child with good savvy. He had a good memory and was able to turn his head quickly, but at the same time, he was so lazy that he always left the cleaning of his room to the lady.

There was no way that Yura could have made various arrangements for Shiron Prien, assuming that Cha Hyun-jun had been possessed by him 500 years ago.

Even if it had been done, it would have been done in a more efficient and clever way.

“Hero?”

It was a time when I was pulling out old memories with a frown on my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw Diego with his eyes wide open.

“Is there anything you are having trouble with? You frown.”

“…Have you received revelation?”

Instead of answering, Siron changed the subject. Relics were lined up on the platform next to Diego.

“Please hand over the shield of Chesed to me.”

“It was like that 10 years ago. I’m only talking about it now, but the Lord told me to be as kind as possible to the kid who boldly came to me.”

“Now?”

“A meeting of cardinals was held.”

Diego nodded and smiled.

“I bring to you all the holy relics I have collected through the treasury of Lucerne. Agree is 10, Neutral is 2.”

“There is no opposition.”

“It is scary to be punished for opposing it. The cardinals are a group of the most faithful on the continent. In other words, can we say that he is a fool who only knows the Lord?”

“The evaluation is quite poor.”

“I try to look at it fairly neutrally.”

Shiron smiled broadly at those words. Standing under the gaze of the cardinals gave me a bad feeling, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t understand their position.

“Aren’t you pushed rather than neutral?”

“I think you can see it that way. However, you can criticize the priest for living according to God’s words. Haha.”

“I feel bad.”

“Is that so?”

“I fight against demons according to my own will. There is no room for anyone else’s will to intervene, and I would rather refuse it.”

“…Then you are saying that you don’t need those relics…”

“When did you say that?”

Siron snorted and approached the place where the relics were lined up.

These were tools too desirable to refuse.

A potion that restores mana three times a day. An ointment that eliminates bleeding damage. Although it was less important than Chesed’s shield, it was something that could not be requested due to shame.

[…Hero.]

‘why? Oh, there are also torches that don’t wear out?’

[……it’s nothing.]

“Warrior.”

Were they in the process of searching for holy relics? Diego opened his mouth behind me. Siron looked back while putting in the relic.

“When will you leave?”

“I will only take the relics and leave for Lien immediately.”

“3 When do you plan to subdue Apostle?”

“…”

[don’t go.]

[You must not go to the empire.]

[Go to the devil’s eye immediately.]

[Please.]

[Kill the apostle.]

[Go to the devil’s eye.]

[Tell me to leave.]

[Because there isn’t much left.]

[You just need to be a little more strong.]

[I do not have time.]

[Not much left.]

[Die.]

[do not die.]

Siron slowly straightened his back. And then he glared at Diego with a cold face.

“Seonghwang.”

“Yes.”

“Did you receive revelation this time too?”

“Yes.”

Diego nodded with an unsmiling face. Just like yesterday, when I told Siron to look at the floor, I tried not to show any signs of embarrassment…

“You should not go straight to Lien.”

Diego’s lips open. Yesterday, I didn’t notice because there were so many people, but now my heartbeat has become fast enough that I can clearly distinguish it.

Cold sweat ran down Siron’s spine. Not only that, but I also feel the illusion of my five senses becoming cold.

I had an eerie feeling as my cold sweat turned into ice cubes and frost settled all over my back.

“Is revelation a phenomenon that happens this often?”

“I swear to God, no.”

“These letters. Can you see it?”

“What writing do you mean?”

“Latera, can you see the writing?”

[…no.]

“You really have a bad personality.”

“…Who are you talking about?”

“You are the one that comes to mind. Words that are invisible to others are visible only to me. This makes me feel like I’m mentally ill.”

“…!”

Diego’s eyes widened.

Ceiling, walls, floor. As Siron muttered, his eyes caught sight of a bare landscape with messy graffiti written everywhere.

“Now… I can see it.”

Not a prosperous person, but just an elf.

muttered Diego Rio Cali.

Siron washed his face dry, feeling the top of his head getting warm.

“Didn’t you see it yesterday?”

“Yes.”

“Looking at that reaction, I can see that it was not a trick by His Majesty.”

“I am not the type of person to joke around in the name of God.”

I didn’t mean to blame Diego.

However, I just felt very…unpleasant.

“Seonghwang.”

“Yes, yes?”

“Please lend me some wisdom. There is a fact that I don’t understand at all.”

“Oh, as much as you want.”

Diego still seemed not to have recovered from the shock. I thought he was a fairly strong person, but he seemed to have shrunk to less than half of his size.

“I picked up the holy sword when I was about 10 years old, right? And you shamefully continued to brag about being a hero?”

“…”

“But during that time, I never once heard the voice of the Lord. Even though I have met a very cute little angel. I have never found traces of the Lord anywhere.”

Siron lowered his hand that was covering his face. Diego’s breath catches when he sees him.

“It never happened like this even when I spent several years in Lucerne, so why is it happening now?”

“…”

“It’s almost finished. Are you saying this and that? ”

Diego faced anger he had never felt before.

The twenty-five-year-old young man exuded the aura of a warrior that Diego had first seen 500 years ago.

“Because the time has come.”

Diego had no choice but to say that.

I’m uploading at least a rough sketch in case it helps you understand.

I wanted to draw a grand background, but I’m running out of time and budget…

I hope one day it will be completed.
