Benedick, who had shown an unsightly appearance as soon as he met Lucy for the first time in a long time, tried to act calm after coming to his senses, but inside he continued to curse at himself.

You idiot. I met Lucy for the first time in a few months, and even though I couldn’t show her father’s cool side, I fainted as soon as I saw her!

Even if Lucy was wearing a black dress as beautiful as the night sky, does that make any sense?

Of course, Lucy looked cuter today than usual!

At first glance, there was even a part that reminded me of my mother!

But even so, does it make sense to faint?

Benedick, who was so consumed with self-loathing that he did something excessive and was scolded by Lucy, regained his senses until he and Lucy arrived at Soul Academy.

I couldn’t set it up.

The moment he regained his sharpness was when he sensed someone’s eyes on him, or more precisely, on Lucy. Someone is following us.

one. two. three.

…There are a lot of them, but the skills are also good. This is not personal scheming.

Malice that comes from an organized place. Benedick followed Lucy as she walked, hiding her fists behind her back.

Strange. Is there any reason for my daughter to be monitored now?

If it had been before the Arlen family was liquidated, I would have guessed that they were doing tricks on the sidelines, but there is no way they would do such a thing once they were destroyed.

However, there is no reason for other forces to target Lucy.

In the current situation, those who are attracting attention are those who fought head-on against the followers of the Void, such as saints, sword saints, and daughter Patran.

There would be no reason for Lucy, who is presumed to have been fighting behind the scenes, to attract the attention of other forces.

To begin with, it’s strange that he doesn’t stop following me even though I’m right next to him. The powers of the kingdom or the powers of other countries that have fought against me would not do such crazy things.

Benedick, who was feeling his thoughts growing more and more, suddenly grabbed one of the pursuers and crushed him with his life while Lucy was talking to Joey.

To the point where even breathing is difficult for most people. And the moment the man showed his strength to withstand the sudden murderous intent, Benedick’s doubts were resolved.

divinity.

The power that the person following him showed on the outside was a miracle given by the god.

Did the church notice Lucy’s uniqueness? Thinking like that clears up many questions.

In the current situation, he showed interest in Lucy rather than anyone else.

You don’t know much about me as a person.

Their forces are also carefully coordinated.

He also ignored the political problems that could arise from infiltrating the chaotic Soul Academy.

It all makes sense.

The reason for not approaching through an official channel is also clear.

You may have doubts, but you are not sure.

Because of what Lucy has done in the past, it is understandable that he cannot be sure.

If I hadn’t seen that scene right now, I wouldn’t have been able to imagine that Lucy was loved by the Lord.

Benedick continued to worry as he followed Lucy down the hallway.

What you need to think about right away is how to get rid of them.

Lucy probably doesn’t want her identity discovered by the church just yet.

If this child truly wanted him, the saint would have come forward first.

So, we must shake off their doubts before they become confirmed.

The problem is that if I react too strongly, it might add to their suspicions.

It also bothers me that the power of the Church of Jesus is huge.

If it had been a small force, I would have thought about just erasing it as a force.

It’s difficult.

What should I do?

What should I do?

It was Lucy, not anyone else, who relieved Benedick’s increasingly deep worries.

As soon as she came out of the building, she approached one of the people she was following and started a fight.

At first, Benedick thought that this man truly had shady feelings for Lucy and that Lucy had noticed him, but his thoughts changed midway through.

Nope. Even though he didn’t say anything, Lucy noticed that he was following him.

And I think they also noticed that I was being followed, so they are giving me an excuse.

Benedick, who saw that the child he thought he had to protect was now in front of him before he knew it, suppressed the tears in his eyes and went along with Lucy’s actions.

As Lucy’s clear voice and Benedick’s uncomfortable appearance overlapped, the commotion that gradually grew louder eventually led to the head of the organization in charge of tailing him revealing himself.

“A miracle happened.”

The moment Benedick heard what the church inquisitor said, he realized that his guess was correct.

Did Lucy do something while dealing with the followers of the Void and the church captured her?

“Because the saint is not a party to miracles.”

Benedick felt madness as the interrogator looked at Lucy.

As expected, none of the interrogators are sane. I can’t even hide my feelings properly because of the joy contained in the word miracle.

I don’t like it.

“So, does that mean my daughter is the party to a miracle?”

When Benedick, who had his arms crossed, openly shows signs of discomfort, the interrogator smiles slyly.

“That may be so. The Lady is the one to whom the Lord himself gave Ruel’s Mace as a gift. It’s no wonder that we are part of a miracle.”

In the end, I’m not sure.

Are you saying that without any evidence or anything, you tracked down my sweet daughter just because it was the most likely possibility?

Without even thinking about asking the saint you guys cherish so much.

“Look here. Interrogator.”

Benedick, who had calmed down because his fever was so high, glared at the interrogator with the same cold gaze he had when looking at the battlefield.

“I understand that the church was excited that a miracle had occurred. It’s not that I can’t understand the desire to meet the person concerned. but. Isn’t there something called a procedure?”

Lucy will not be able to hide her identity forever. The sun rising in the sky naturally appears as the clouds clear.

“If there is a person who has created a miracle as you said, isn’t that person someone who is loved by the Lord?”

However, it must be according to Lucy’s own will.

“Isn’t there a reason why someone like that doesn’t show up at church?”

It’s not because of the bullshit of these idiots.

“…What do you want to say?”

Benedick uncrossed his arms as he heard the interrogator’s decaying voice.

Don’t you know what you want to say? gibberish. Even though I understand everything, I feel bad so I just pretend not to know. “

Don’t be presumptuous and say nonsense. The authority of the church you have given is certainly high, but it is not your authority.”

When Benedick, with both hands on the desk, glared at the interrogator, his brows grew stronger. When Benedick saw that, he snorted without realizing it.

haha. It must have been a long time since I stepped back.

In the past, such insolence would have been unthinkable.

“You must have been a toddler when I was walking around the front lines, so you probably don’t know what kind of person I am.”

Benedick let out a long breath, freely releasing his normally suppressed energy and putting pressure on the interrogator. Then the interrogator’s smile disappears and his face turns pale.

“That’s natural. There is no way that someone else’s voice will be engraved on someone who is young.”

With each word of Benedick’s voice, the air in the room gains weight.

Even though it has long since retired from active duty, the momentum of the monster, which is still considered the strongest on the continent, turns the room into a battlefield.

“So let’s feel it for ourselves. Why did foreign countries fear the kingdom? Did this frontier guarded by Benedick Aln become a wailing wall? Despite my daughter’s rudeness, the church’s condemnation wasn’t so strong.”

And in that battlefield, the interrogator’s shoulders gradually become smaller.

I can’t think of anything like rebellion.

It is also impossible to express anger.

There is a limit to erasing fear through mania.

A monster with a human name threatened the instincts deep within humans with its mere presence.

“If you repeat the same rude behavior next time. It won’t end with threats like this then. My sword. It touches your neck. Only after putting you in the arms of the Lord. Everything will end.”

The interrogator’s body, which was trembling pitifully like a small animal left in the rain, did not calm down even after Benedick lost his momentum.

“I will happily accept the story that my daughter looked noble enough to be considered a miracle and leave.”

Benedick stood up without even trying to appease his interrogator.

“Lucy. Let’s go.”

Lucy, who was looking curiously at the interrogator who seemed to be surprised if he fainted right away, got up belatedly after hearing Benedick’s words.

*

‘…grandfather. ‘What on earth just happened?’

Benedick showed that he was uncomfortable. Suddenly, the air in the room changed and the interrogator, who seemed to be out of his mind, began to tremble!

‘That interrogator wasn’t particularly weak either.’

The grandfather, who had been talking about how he could have done similar things when he was alive, soon cleared his throat and changed the topic.

‘yes? why?’
