The Priest and the King 01 The King's Favor

Add anger.

"Don't bow your knees in front of me, Saesha! Don't bow your head either! You won't understand until I say it a few times!"

Sae Sha just bowed her head.

Originally, he wanted to perform the most advanced etiquette-kneeling on the ground and kissing the king's feet, but the king didn't even allow him to bow his head.

"...give me...raise your head!"

He raised his head timidly, and saw the king staring at Sae Sha with a ghostly expression.

The flaming anger was mistaken for the prairie fire.

Sasuke couldn't help lowering her gaze.

"Why don't you look at me?! Look into my eyes! You are not the Holy Rainbow Messenger, are you? You are just my servant? Do you dare to disobey the king's order?!"

What an unreasonable order.

Sasuke felt a tightness in her chest.

Since childhood, in order to hide his natural iridescent pupils, he developed the habit of lowering his eyes in front of others.

It was difficult to even look into other people's eyes, let alone the king's black eyes... For Sae Sha, it was not only extremely frightening, but also like a torture order.

...If you want to test my loyalty, you can cut me into pieces right here now, and I will be willing to do so...

I even have the consciousness that if you punish me with your own hands, before your sword cuts into my body, I will not even move a hair, and I will bear it willingly.

Saeya struggled to speak.

"...My people... all belong to Your Majesty."

"Okay! Speak up, so that everyone can hear your words!"

The king narrowed his eyes and stared at Sae Sha's body.

Sight from top to bottom.

The scorching sight made the body feel like being roasted in pain.

Everything must have been seen through by that powerful gaze.

Not long after, the king said in an inexplicably hoarse voice

"I... ordered someone to prepare breakfast in advance. You must be tired. Go over and enjoy it slowly."

Sae Sha was at a loss and raised her head unconsciously.

Although the content of the words was surprising, he was more concerned about the king's trembling voice.

Is there something uncomfortable?

"……king……"

A sharp voice from behind interrupted Sae Sae's words.

"Let me speak, king!"

Saeya turned her head reflexively.

He Ji knelt down on one knee behind Sae Sae, looking up at the king with dangerous eyes.

"Pictures on page 35"

"It was aimed at Saisa just now—sama, who wants to become a Holy Rainbow Messenger, can't eat in front of others. That's a taboo."

"Heki! Don't mention that kind of thing..."

Sae Sa hurriedly tried to stop her, but Kazuki continued talking.

"No! It's not just that. As the son of God, Sae-sama is no longer your "subject" to the king! Please stop this kind of joking summons!"

The king gritted his teeth in anger.

He scolded Saesa in a low voice boiling with anger.

"—Who is that guy...! That clothes... Is it a priest? Why did you bring that person here, Saesha! When did it start... Aren't there young priests in the temple?"

A series of questions with unclear meanings made Sae Sha too scared to make a sound.

But Heji answered instead of him.

"Master Saesa did not bring me here! I followed without permission! Because I am worried about Master Saesa's body!"

"I sent my direct knights to meet you! There is nothing to worry about! You priests are the ones, your minds are always bound by meaningless old-fashioned dogma, and you don't even feed the important son of God!"

Facing the king's intimidation, Heji did not admit defeat.

"That taboo is only enforced in front of the people! Sasa-sama is free in the temple! —— King, I would like to ask you here, what do you think about people wearing rainbow-colored robes, masks, and powerless hands?" Sasa-sama, can a person really control a flying dragon? Here, I have the consciousness of being beheaded, and I want to speak out boldly, please think about Sasa-sama's hard work!"

The king trembled when he heard this.

Kazuki said something extremely rude, and the king would never forgive him no matter what.

At least, punish yourself.Saesha was about to speak timidly—but it was incredible that the king just clenched his fists and stared at Heji.Normally, he would have drawn his sword out of its sheath long ago.

Then, from between her clenched teeth, she spoke to Sae Sae.

"...There are all kinds of costumes for riding dragons... No... If you can't ride a dragon, why didn't you tell me? Sae Sae!"

Terrified, Sae Sha knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

"I'm so sorry."

"What apology... When did I ask you to apologize?! I was just asking you! Your mouth can't say anything other than apologizing!"

The king was like an angry and incoherent child.

Sae Sha didn't even dare to get up.

"The mistakes made by me and my followers, please let me bear the responsibility..."

"Fault? If you say something wrong, it's a crime if you don't tell me something! If there is any pain, you shouldn't tell that servant, but tell me, the king!"

The king's words made Saesha's head even more confused.

……pain……

Pain...of course there is.

However, even the best imperial doctor in the country could not heal the pain in my heart.

Just seeing the king's majestic face, deep in my heart felt a festering pain.

Every time I bear the king's wrath, I feel that somewhere in my heart is getting necrotic.

I really want to go back to my childhood, the nostalgic time when I was with the king and the king.

But... Looking back, I don't know when King Luo Gang was always angry.Just seeing Sae Sha's face made her impatient, and she kept saying something unclear.

Why do you have rainbow hair and rainbow eyes!The king even asked so excitedly.

"That guy was supposed to be held accountable for the disrespect he committed—but let's forget it this time! But listen up, Sae, you're not allowed to talk to that disrespectful man again! Not even a finger Contact! This is the king's order! Pass the order down, only the old man is allowed to stay in the temple, and all the young priests will be kicked out. If there are other people other than this guy, they will all be kicked out!"

The king gave the order domineeringly, which reminded Sae Sha of one more thing.

Ahh... this lord, has always hated people getting close to me.

Especially for young priests, I am worried that it is easier to talk to each other if they are similar in age.

And not just for humans.All the small animals that Sae Sha loves and accidentally hugs in the courtyard of the palace will be hacked to death on the spot. "You are not allowed to open your heart to anyone other than me!" At that time, the king's anger was burning like a fire.

Sasuke barely spit out the words.

"Understood."

I'm used to it.Get used to the cruel treatment of the king.

Every sudden summons is accompanied by difficulties.

Arrived too slowly, and the clothes he was wearing were too open on the chest——last time, Sae Sha's footsteps were a little unsteady, and a knight stepped forward to support him.Just like that, the king was so angry that he yelled and cursed.That being said, that knight was not among those who came to welcome us today.

Regarding the matter of riding a dragon, Captain Yongjun has long said nonchalantly - "It's a bit too much for Sae-sama to control the military flying dragon that our country prides itself on its speed. Let Sae-sama ride with a knight for comparison." appropriate……".

However, the king refuted this suggestion.

No one is even allowed to help Sae Sha.

Sae Sha was saddened by this.

...If you hate me so much, just leave me alone...

The previous king was extremely alienated from the Hauni Cult, not only the great temple, but even the church in the village was planned to be demolished.Although the current king, Luo Gang, is not capable of doing that, he is also indifferent to religion.In the past, I didn't even know where the Lingfeng where the Great Temple was located was.

Therefore, when she was ordered to go to the temple, Saesha was overwhelmed by despair.

If you don't want to see my face, as long as you say a word, I am willing to die... In this way, I don't have to live in so much pain.

However, everything will come to an end the moment he becomes the Holy Rainbow Messenger.

The Holy Rainbow Envoy is not allowed to leave the Great Temple for the rest of his life.

There is no gender, the face needs to be covered, and people are not allowed to eat or drink in front of people. They are enshrined on the holy seat as the gods of the world.

The so-called "Holy Rainbow Messenger" is such an existence.

It can only exist as a vessel of God.

It can't be called a human being, at best it's just a personal container.

But after becoming the Holy Rainbow Messenger, he may no longer feel the pain in his heart.

"—King, it is rare to see you this time, and I would like to ask you to hear something."

Sae Sha's respectful words and deeds made the king roar back angrily, blowing his nose and staring at him.

"I'm not interested! Quickly disappear!"

The return journey is very long.

Besides, he was riding a dragon alone.Sae Sha desperately held on to the rein so as not to fall.

When he arrived at the temple in the evening, he was so exhausted that he couldn't even move his feet.

However, Sae Sha still solemnly thanked the members of the Dragon Knights.

"Sorry to trouble everyone. Please be careful when you go back."

But when they left, several members of the regiment had no intention of going to the flying dragon.

With a surprised mood, Sae Sa asked.

"... Excuse me, what's the matter...?"

These regiment members are young knights.

"Master Sasha."

After they looked at each other in blank dismay - they rushed towards Xisha quickly, then knelt down on the ground.

When Saesha and the older knights were stunned, they were already kneeling on the roof of the temple and kissing the shadow.Kissing the long veiled figure drawn by the red sunset.

"Today... being able to meet you... makes me overjoyed and moved."

"Because the king ordered you not to have any contact with you, so I cannot kiss your hand. But Sasa-sama... please accept our loyalty."

These knights are all about the same age as Sae Sae
