47 – 47 – Liberation.
It has already been more than a month since the hero was imprisoned in a solitary cell deep underground.
Contrary to the Pope’s words that he would be released later.
Even though a considerable amount of time has passed, the warrior has not been released from solitary confinement, so there is gossip even within the church.
It started to come out.
The hero only made a slight mistake by falling for the beauty world of Frigid’s second son.
Because the Pope is afraid of the imperial family and the Grand Duchy.
Or because they received something from them.
The poor warrior is being tormented by being locked in a cold cell underground for a long time.
Of course, this is just an afterthought.
If you say something like the above in front of the Pope, you may be subject to some kind of punishment.
Although Tenesa doesn’t get angry easily and is gentle.
As she is the head of the church, it is very rare for anyone to commit an outrageous act in front of her.
Even the cardinals, who are located right below the Pope, because her authority is so strong.
You cannot treat them carelessly.
Because the only person in the church who can directly communicate with Goddess Labinus is Pope Tenesa.
She believed that her goddess had given her permission to imprison the hero.
It was just dissatisfied people whispering quietly behind the scenes.
But as time goes by.
And according to the intentions of a man who continues to spread bad things about the Pope.
The backstory was increasing, and the church was becoming more and more suspicious of the Pope’s decision.
This is what is driving this.
It was Claude, one of the candidates for sainthood.
” No matter how much the hero made a few mistakes, this kind of treatment is too much! “
He secretly organized a meeting tonight and gathered people who were like him and appealed to them.
” It is truly cruel to confine a poor warrior who came from a strange world on a heavy mission… To a cold solitary confinement for such a long time! “
” That’s right! “
” Ah.. I feel sorry for the hero..”
More people than expected were attending the meeting.
Claude is a candidate for sainthood and is a beautiful man within the Church. He is
And because he is known as a just and upright person who cannot tolerate injustice when he sees it.
There were many people who liked him, regardless of gender.
The church designated several candidates for sainthood, but many in the church thought that he would be chosen.
Moreover, they were persuaded by his appeal and were sympathizing with creating an atmosphere within the church that the warrior was being treated unfairly.
” Even though it has already been more than a month since you stayed in that cold solitary confinement… Sadly, it seems that the Pope has no intention of releasing you.”
The sight of him speaking while gently wiping the tears from his eyes.
Many people looked on with sad eyes. One of them raised her hand and said:
” Is the Pope really doing this because he was afraid of the imperial family and the grand duchy? Or maybe…”
” Stop. “It would be dangerous to say more there, sister..”
Claude was anticipating what she would say next, so he cut her off.
It was clear that what she was going to say next was to say that the Pope had submitted to the imperial family and the Archduke or had received something.
Although it is a meeting place where like-minded people who sympathize with Claude gather together.
It is true that it is very dangerous to cross the line and speak about the Pope, who is their leader.
” Ah.. Saint.. “
The woman who realized his intentions was moved and called Claude a saint, not a candidate.
But she wouldn’t know that women are women.
She had just come to have such negative thoughts about the Pope.
It was all his intention.
Not only she, but also the people gathered at the meeting and many people in the church.
Regarding the fact that the Pope is already giving harsh treatment to the warrior without releasing him.
I have many questions and complaints.
Claude took advantage of the momentum and incited people by talking about the biggest topic in the empire recently.
” But isn’t Edward Friged, the one who made you like that, planning to marry the princess tomorrow!! “
It’s only been a little over a month since the Imperial Debutante was held at Archduke Frigid’s residence.
Hearing the news that the princess and Frigid’s second son were getting married, skipping the engagement ceremony.
The empire is currently in a very tumultuous state.
” That’s right! Is Frigid just playing with the hero!? “
” I pity the hero! “
” Edward Friged is scandalous!! “
From the church people’s perspective, they had no choice but to be angry.
Because she bewitched the hero with her off-white color, she is now suffering in a cold cell deep underground.
He said he was planning to marry another woman.
After seeing the reaction of the angry people, Claude was satisfied and made a suggestion to them.
” Everyone, let’s go to the solitary cell where the hero is being held and propose that he be liberated! “
I would normally accept his suggestion.
Because it is too late or because it is the Pope’s choice.
There would have been very few people who would have accepted it.
Because Claude has created a good atmosphere within the church for a long time, and now people are angry.
” That’s right! Come on saint, let’s go! “
” We must tell the Pope what our brothers and sisters think! “
” Let’s go to the hero! “
It was not difficult for Claude to incite them.
‘ Hero… We will save you! ‘
Claude headed to the basement where the hero was imprisoned with nearly a hundred people gathered at the meeting.
.
.
.
“What on earth are you doing this late at night, Claude Saint Candidate? “
Yuria spoke to Claude in front of her in her cold voice.
She could guess what purpose he came here for.
” I have come to make a suggestion to the Pope! “
Of course we know that Tennessee is not visiting this deep underground at this late hour.
It is not difficult to figure out Claude’s intention to proudly lead a large number of people to this place where no one can enter and look for the Pope.
” That’s right! Pope! Free the warrior! “
” Poor warrior! “
By inciting people and using numbers as an advantage.
This may be to drive out the person guarding the door of the solitary confinement.
For the past month.
Claude came to the cell several times saying he wanted to interview the hero.
Naturally, he rejected it because Tenesa did not approve.
At first, I was worried about the hero, so I said I wanted to talk, even if only for a little while.
Next, he attempted to create a gap by seducing her.
Of course she coldly rejected this.
When she tried to seduce him, she almost swung the mace at her waist.
As a man, a person who is called a candidate for sainthood in the church uses off-white hair.
You’re trying to seduce a cardinal, a high-ranking official in the church.
From Yuria’s perspective, she had no choice but to be angry.
I thought he was a trash person, but I tolerated it because he was designated as a candidate for sainthood and had a good image within the church.
But he did not give up this time either.
He judged that it would be dangerous to come alone, so he brought these many people with him.
If she knew he would be this annoying, Yuria regretted not telling Tenesa about what had happened when she occasionally visited.
However.
From her point of view, she didn’t want to trouble Tenesa, so she didn’t bother to say anything.
No matter what Claude does, even if he brings in a bunch of idiots.

This is because she was confident that she would be able to secure this cell door without any problems.
Other people may not know.
Although it was not adopted or recorded in the family register.
This is something that Tenesa, who she calls her mother, asked her to do.
Recently, we have become a little distant because of the hero.
There was some disappointment because Tenesa treated the warrior like her own daughter.
At least to convince her that the only person she can trust now is herself.
Yuria.
She would never open the door to this cell without Tenesa’s permission.
Even if the emperor came, I was determined to stop him with the utmost determination.
” If you make a fuss at this late hour without the Pope’s permission, I will discipline you as a cardinal at my own discretion. “
Yuria decided that words would not solve the problem.
She pulled her mace from her belt.
When the people behind Claude saw this, they retreated in fear.
Yuria was active as an inquisitor for heresy, and she rose to the position of cardinal at a young age.
In the process of her ascent, she does not hesitate to do cruel things.
There were many people who knew that she was now carrying her mace.
The people Claude brought with him were the same, so they had no choice but to step back out of fear.
Claude did not lose his composure even though Yuria did not panic at all and even let her go, even though he was leading a large crowd of people.
” Isabella! Paisley! Please help me as you promised! “
Because there was a part of me that believed in it.
” Poor Claude.. He’s being intimidated by Cardinal Yuria..”
” Yuria… No matter how high his position may be, Claude is a candidate for sainthood and a weak man. “
Two middle-aged women wearing armor stood on either side of him.
Cardinal Isabella, Cardinal Paisley.
These are people in the same position as Yuria in the church.
Because Claude could not do anything with his position or force.
These are two people who have embraced each other.
Claude did not just view himself favorably; he seduced and recruited the two cardinals he had feelings for.
If it’s one person, it’s okay, if it’s two cardinals.
Even though Yuria is capable enough to rise to the position of cardinal at a young age, she will not be able to do anything easily.
Of course, Yuria recognized Claude’s intentions, but she was not at all embarrassed and confidently spoke to the cardinals.
” I am guarding this place according to the Pope’s orders. It’s none of your business. “
Since she was carrying out the orders of Pope Tenesa anyway, there was no reason for her not to be honorable in her position.
No matter how many cardinals come, what can they do when there is an order from the Pope?
But.
” Anyway, Tenesa is away because she has to officiate at a wedding that will be held tomorrow. “
” We came here because of Claude’s request, but we are also against the idea of confining the hero for such a long time. “
Contrary to Yuria’s expectations, the attitude of the two cardinals was strange.
” Are you really trying to go against the will of the Pope!? “
Yuria, who sensed that something was going wrong, readjusted her stance and said.
The two cardinals who saw her like that spoke in a relaxed manner.
“Even though he is the Pope, I just think that there are times when he has to act boldly if he has made a wrong choice. Of course, Claude’s request is the biggest.. Hoho..”
” I believe that Tenessa will understand. Of course, I also came here to fulfill Claude’s request. “
As if they were competing to impress Claude, they took out their weapons to subdue Yuria.
“What are these so-called cardinals doing by going over to men? And Claude! Do you think that a person who is a candidate for sainthood can be forgiven for doing something like this? “
Saaaaa!!!
Yuria wrapped her Auror around her body and shouted angrily at them.
” On the contrary, your attitude of helping to imprison the hero is something that cannot be accepted as a hero! “
Rather, Claude shouted proudly.
” Isabella! Paisley! Please! “
I asked the cardinals to subdue Yuria.
The cardinals who received her request wrapped the Auror around her body like Yuria and adjusted her posture.
” Yes! Mr. Claude, after the work is done, do you have to give me compensation as promised? “
” Isabella, you are so shameless! Please don’t forget me too, Claude! “
He complained to Claude.
” You bitches!! “
Yuria, who saw this, became angry and clashed with the cardinals.
.
.
.
” Thank you both for your hard work! “
” Hehe.. If it’s for Claude-kun’s sake. “
” Me too, Claude! “
Claude thanked the two cardinals.
This is because he succeeded in subduing Cardinal Yuria, who was unable to do anything on his own.
Of course, Yuria’s abilities were excellent and the resistance was so strong.
I was worried that her two cardinals might not be able to subdue her.
Because the people she brought with her also joined in.
She barely succeeded in subduing Yuria.
“What did Yuria do? “
” Sweet Claude… Don’t worry… I ordered people to lock him up somewhere else. “
” Since he was a person Tenesa cared for and a fellow cardinal, I couldn’t kill him carelessly, so I locked him up. “
” I see… I hope you can feel like a warrior for a moment while being trapped there. “
Claude thought as he answered the cardinals.
Stupid bitch.
Because he had a beautiful face and seemed capable.
I was thinking of wearing it later when I go on a journey with the hero to subdue the demon lord.
However, he always showed words and behavior that seemed to ignore him.
This time, he also refused the request to help him meet the warrior.
Even though he appealed to his beauty and asked for it, he risked the shame of being a man.
Rather, he threatened himself by holding up a blunt weapon.
So, she had no choice but to… Even though she was a little older, she succeeded in subduing her by seducing the two idiots who usually looked upon her favorably.
She was later very displeased at having to take a place with old stupid bitches, but it was okay because it served an important purpose.
This is because you can meet her hero by just opening the door right in front of her.
” Hero, can you hear me? “
” … “
Even when he called, no answering voice was heard in the room.
Even though it was obviously noisy outside due to the battle with Yuria.
No sound was heard.
Claude thought it was probably because he was tired from crying and fell into a deep sleep, so he shouted loudly and opened the door.
” I’m here to save you! “
Kkieeeeeik..
“Is the door open?..”
When he opened the door, he could see the warrior crouching on the floor of the cold cell.
As soon as her door opened, he looked at her and saw her talking to him, but it didn’t seem like she was sleeping.
How painful it must have been.
How sad it must have been.
He is a truly beautiful person.
It was rewarding to seduce two old cardinals while holding back the nausea that came over me.
” Yes! I’m here to rescue you. “
Claude spoke to the hero in a gentle voice.
“ Can I go out?.. ”
The warrior who heard what he said asked him.
” Yes! Come out, warrior! “
Claude smiled brightly and spread his arms.
He told the warrior to come out.
“ … ”
The warrior who saw him was silent for a moment.
Trudging.
Out of solitary confinement.
I walked out the door.
Everyone who saw the hero coming out looked pitiful.
I looked at her through all her hardships.
Claude introduced himself to the warrior.
” Hero, my name is Claude, a candidate for sainthood! “
As soon as I heard the news that the hero had been summoned.
I wanted to meet and say hello, but the Pope blocked it.
It’s only now that I say hello to you that I couldn’t say before.
No, rather, at the moment when I save her from this moment of crisis.
Because I was able to introduce myself.
Claude’s heart was pounding.
However.
“ … ”
Despite hearing his introduction, the warrior was still silent.
“You can rest assured now!”
Claude is the reason the hero is not saying anything.
The warrior himself is being punished by the Pope for his own mistakes.
He thought it was because he was confused about whether he could come out without the Pope’s permission.
Claude told her that it was not her fault that she was confined in solitary confinement by such a hero.
” You just fell for Edward Frigid’s evil tricks! “
It’s all Edward Frigid’s fault.
The hero did nothing wrong!
Then.
Finally, the warrior’s mouth, which had been tightly shut, opened.
“ Edward?.. ”
When she responded to Edward’s name, Claude told her what he was up to.
” Yes! That’s right. Doesn’t that clever Edward say that he is going to marry the princess of the empire tomorrow!? “
“ What, what?.. ”
Then, to reassure her.
” Yes! Now you can just forget about him! And from now on, with me…”
Now you can forget about him and be with yourself.
As she said those words, she was about to place her hand on her shoulder without permission.
“ Wow!! ”
Sigh!
Chaaaaa!!!
In just one moment.
The warrior cut off his head with his bare hands.
Without Aurors. Without even raising a single ounce of mana.
Just use the blade of your hand.
” Claude!! “
” Claude!! “
” Aaaaa!! “
Everyone gathered here, including the cardinals, were shocked when they saw the cruel sight of blood pouring like a fountain from Claude’s neck, where only his body remained.
The hero Lee Hye-young didn’t pay much attention to that appearance.
Whaaaaa!!
Since she was no longer restricted to using mana in solitary confinement, she drew mana from her body.
” Hero, what on earth are you doing! “
” Ah.. Claude!! “
People who saw the hero like that fell into panic, and unable to understand the situation, they asked Lee Hye-young the reason.
But the warrior.
“ Hyunwoo.. Hyunwoo.. ”
Muttering only one person’s name.
” Ugh!!!! “
“Why, hero!? Hehehe!! “
” Claude’s revenge!! Wow!! “
Sigh! Suddenly!
He began slaughtering the people in front of him.
“ Hyunwoo.. I can’t believe you’re marrying another bitch..”
The people gathered near the cell, including the two cardinals of the church.
They all died in an instant by her hands.
Standing alone among countless corpses, she spoke with an expression of incomprehension.
“ It’s a lie, right? ”
Did you say you were going to get married to the princess of the empire?
In that case, the direction to go would be towards the imperial family.
It’s a bit far to walk, though.
She is the one who came all the way to another world to meet him.
“ Wait, I’ll go rescue you..”
She had no intention of letting him go.
