Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Birds cover trees

Read at readwn.com

Man and man’s work is complex. Justice and injustice are not something that can be cut and determined as if they were measured with a ruler.

The Lord is not on the side of anyone in this. If he has to stand on his side, it is only humanity. So I should too.

Carefully looking at us, especially Rocca, the waitress said.

“…it’s not too late now. Ardain is done The temple will win, and the princess will never recover again. No, even saving my life might be difficult.”

“Master is always lacking. There is not a single person under the lower command right now. There’s a blue wolf. It is said that if you defect to the prince’s subordinate, you can become a major role at once. You can be guaranteed the best spot.”

Rocca didn’t seem interested in the slightest. Hagi is the child who refused even the position of a saint in the Alderhyr religion.

By the way, do you still know me and Roka as the princess’s subordinates? If it had been true, there would have been no need to leave and go to the Citadel in such a state of affairs.

“Even birds sit under trees. How can you build a nest in a broken tree?”

“The prince doesn’t seem like a very good tree either.”

Rocca scratched her head and replied.

“You say you are the strongest person under him. Well then, it’s nothing.”

“What, what?”

It seems like a casually thrown word, but it seems to have stabbed the truth unexpectedly. The angry waitress got angry.

In fact, if this child were really interested in fame and power, he would have been in contact with the Kingdom rather than the Prince.

If Roca really goes under the prince, it means that the three princes will have their own power. The minimum strength to be independent from the control of the kingdom.

In my opinion, it is unlikely that the Church will like it. The Doge said that what is happening now is the confrontation between the Church and the Empire.

The prince is just a face-to-face, and what really lies behind it is Kyo-guk. It was clear that he would not let the position of emperor that he seized while committing such a thing to become independent again.

“…well, if you don’t want to change sides, do whatever you want! At the best, I was happy to see you and tell you the story!”

“So, what are you going to do? It may have been a little delayed without me, but maybe it’s already too late? The Empress could be taken hostage, do you have time to talk more with me?”

Well, we’re not on the princess’s side…

Apart from that, Empress Mama was also in danger and pretended not to know. It’s a little awkward because his status is so high, but it’s true that someone in need should get help regardless of his or her rank.

“I will tell you the exact location of the Empress. It was originally my job to find out.”

He spit out his position casually, as if he was naive, but it seemed that it wasn’t from goodwill. There was no guarantee that this was really the position of the Empress.

A favor from someone who cannot like us is unreliable. Maybe there is a trap there. But in some cases, you have no choice but to pretend that you don’t know.

I glanced at Rocca, and nodded. Now, I answer right away whether you have read my mind.

“Are you going?”

“Will you follow me?”

“I will follow you anywhere.”

Roka put in some more moon magic to completely paralyze the knight, and then returned to me.

Thank you, but it’s starting to sound scary now.

“Then let’s go.”

She is the mother of Princess Ardein, so it cannot be said that there is no relationship. If your life is in danger, it is morally impossible to ignore.

Rocca also nodded. Come to think of it, this child also learned something from the princess. I don’t know what I’ve learned a lot, but anyway, it doesn’t mean I don’t have grace.

“Because I want to pay off my debts quickly.”

Even if it’s not such a big gift that you risk your life for, wouldn’t it be nice if you could pay off that debt with a little bit of effort? Loca didn’t seem to have any complaints.

We headed to the Rose Palace.

*****

Surprisingly, the waitress graciously admitted defeat. Roka used the same technique that paralyzed me on the Artavus the other day to subdue her.

Putting the woman named Millenia in a corner of the hallway like a luggage, Rocca and I headed to the Rose Palace. In this battle, the Lord takes no side on anyone’s side.

I, the servant, cannot stand on the side of ignoring His holy will, but there is work to be done.

It is rare for two whales to fight and drive each other to the point of death. Even if one bird beats the other, the one who loses is said to have survived and escaped with only wounds.

It is the little shrimp caught up in the fight that really suffer. It was a whale that fought, but the wrong shrimp exploded and died. In all battles, it is the powerless who ultimately suffer the most.

‘If you think so, it’s a little strange.’

It is rather unusual for the shrimp to be Empress Mama in this case. Perhaps it is because this battle is not an ordinary war, but a usurpation battle for the throne.

“The prince, his first impression was not good. I knew I would do something like this.”

The former clerk here knew a lot more than he thought. Gyoguk hid behind and brought His Majesty’s son, Prince Edmund, to the fore.

Even if he rises to the throne, it would be meaningless if all those who came under him died.

If it is not known to His Majesty’s vassals, there is no need to kill a servant or even a maid. In fact, the palace was quieter than expected, and according to Roca, there was not much bloody smell.

This fight is a kind of hypocrisy with a clear purpose, and there is no need or reason to kill people needlessly. If you really kill them all, the government will be paralyzed starting tomorrow.

The purpose of the temple is not to destroy the empire, but to retain it. You won’t have to kill those who will be yours if you win anyway.

If so, perhaps the prince, or the kingdom behind him, is sure of their victory. Should I call it some kind of confidence? Just hearing the plan made me feel that way.

👌👌👌👌 Rocca wrinkled her nose over and over again.

Whether it was because of his mastery or the power of the firefly crystal, the child’s sense of smell, which was good before, is now better than his eyes. I sensed something farther away than I could see.

“Where we’re going, it smells like wolves.”

“Smell a wolf?”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve done this, but it’s not our tribe. That’s for sure.”

smell like a wolf

Are you on the side of the church? Or on the side of the empire? Either way, I’d love to hear from you.

The truth is, I hate watching fights the most. It is not a battle that can be distinguished from good and evil, only defeat and victory. If you win, you become justice, and if you lose, you become a thief.

But you have to watch it even if you don’t like it. It is not the job of a priest of the gods to turn away from this reality in irritation. If he wanted to, there was no reason to leave the Pumpkin Vine Village.

A peaceful, safe, village where people live on their own. A place full of compassion, where there was no one hungry even when there was a good harvest.

It wasn’t because I didn’t like my hometown that I came out of there, but because I was no longer needed there.

“It smells bloody.”

Suddenly, Roca, who was going forward, stood on her two feet. He looked around and frowned.

“I smell bloody. A lot of it too.”

“suddenly? then…”

“I think people are dying right now. Not from our side, but from the other side.”

Kurung! Instead of answering, the floor of the imperial palace vibrated. It was as if a great battle was taking place in the distance.

It is such a fierce battle that even us who are so far away can feel the vibration. Rocca muttered and continued.

“From the smell of iron, I think there is probably a fight going on. It’s not something the owner is worried about.”

Clearly, to some extent equal power and power collide. A massacre occurs when one side overpowers the other, so there is no way such a strong clash can happen.

Still, I was not comfortable, so I asked Rocca. But the child only shook his head.

“If I go now, can I dry it?”

“late.”

“So fast?”

But it seems that the fight that took place somewhere over there was violently raging and then withered away, with no way we could do anything about it. It is the sound of a person’s life flew by in an instant.

It’s already too late, so I can’t do anything but collect the body even if I go.

That is also important, and if necessary, I have to do it.

However, if there is a living person or a dead person, there is no need to think about which one should be given priority. Let’s go to the Rose Palace first, then come back later to collect the dead.

‘Is it worth fighting a fight like this at a time like this?’

The empire and the kingdom, what are you thinking? Yesterday, the Citadel nearly collapsed, and today, on a day like today, when Elvenheim collapsed, do we have to fight each other?

Or maybe I really don’t know? Just seeing that Millenia here, didn’t know anything about the fall of Elvenheim, even though it didn’t seem like he had a low status…

Many people have already died. Was it really worth the sacrifice? A tribute to the victims is always beautiful, but in the end, the dead never come back.

I just hope everyone doesn’t regret it.
