A friend of Earth once told me. When caught while having an affair, even the real man himself will automatically roll his eyes at the lifeless eyes that his girlfriend showed. I thought you were saying that out of guilt…
“I heard it wrong”

Only now have I been able to understand him. I could feel the gaze of Katarina, who was staring at me horribly while holding on to the iron bars.
“Why is there no answer in the cloud”
Her face slowly turned sideways.
The iron spear caught in her hand frowned lightly like a millet.
Feeling fearful, I trembled in the corner of the prison.
I swear, I have never felt a greater fear than this since I was possessed by this body.
Just as she thought that she might die before she could even see the child’s face, a sigh came from Katarina’s side.
“Katrina, take it easy. Are you planning to break the iron bars?”
“You were very worried that you were imprisoned after killing another hero with no anger, but it turned out that it was all because of another woman. It even has a baby!”
Leslie tilted her head.
“Anything to be angry about?”
“What”
“A hero usually has a lot of women. It is impossible to monopolize a hero unless the hero is the same. It’s because your greed to monopolize Cloud-sama in the first place is too much.”
Katarina’s brow furrowed.
“…what do you want to say? Don’t go round and round, say it straight.”
“Cloud-sama is not something you can handle alone. So stop being bullied and accept reality. Before Cloud-sama gets tired of you. This is serious advice.”
Leslie’s sharp, if sharp words put Katarina’s face blank for a while, as if she had been stabbed. Soon she started to laugh, and the iron spear in her hand trembled.
“You really-”
“It would be better not to break that iron fence. Because if you break it, you will be imprisoned alongside Cloud-sama for vandalism and corporate evasion. Of course, even after Cloud-sama comes out of prison in two days, you will still be locked up.”
“…”
Katarina put the iron bar down with a frown on her face.
“I really hate you.”
“Oh my, that’s a coincidence. Me too.”
Two days after Leslie and Katarina’s visit, I was released, as previously stated. Of course, it is a temporary release, and the condition is that after defeating the Demon King, he must pay the penalty through a formal trial.
“I swear to serve the Emperor, to obey the laws of the Empire, and to benefit the Empire.”
The oath is a bonus.
The archbishop took out a red-hot iron from the furnace. I pray with one hand while supporting my back with that iron.
“Irisui, I ask that your servant Valitina be a witness to the oath of the champion Cloud.”
profit-
A stigma was engraved on the skin on the back of the pharynx.

Oath stigma.
It is a stigma that only high-ranking priests can engrave, and it is said that if you break an oath, you will be punished with similar punishment.
“Can I go now?”
He asked as he put on his clothes. The archbishop nodded his head with a slightly tired expression on his face.
“Yeah… Aren’t you sick by the way? The stigma of the oath is engraved on mana unlike a normal stigma, so it causes a lot of pain. How could there be no screams…”
“It was bearable. Then come on.”
I came out of the Archbishop’s classroom and came out of the temple in the presence of people’s eyes.
“I’m here”
At the entrance to the temple, Katarina and Leslie were waiting.
‘…Are you going to run away?’
I thought about it for a moment, but it was decided that it was a way to make the situation worse. So I quietly surrendered to Katarina’s hand reaching out towards me.
“Cloud!”
“…Katrina. If you strangle your head, you die. How about hitting it?”
“Shut up!”
The furious shouts forced me to wave my arms as quietly as Bart Simpson strangled by Homer Simpson.
After a while she let go of my neck.
I caressed my tingly neck.
“My anger is a little off”
“Not at all! just be patient It has already happened and there is nothing I can do about it.”
“Just being patient makes me feel good. thank you.”
“…if you knew it would be fine.”
Katarina turned her head and mumbled softly. Slowly, he grabbed her hand and clasped it. She did not refuse.
While walking in that state, I asked Leslie how he was doing.
“Prilite and the Platinum Knights have completely left.”
“yes. The day before Cloud-sama was released, we crossed the portal and headed to the Demon Realm.”
“I’ve been curious about it for a while, but that’s right. The Demon Lord said that only four warriors could work together to defeat or seal it. It is possible to solve that with one hero and one knight.”
Katarina questioned.
“Would it be impossible? No matter how strong Frilite is, she is alone in the end. Even if it was said that the Platinum Knights would support them, there would be limits.”
“…Then it’s not dangerous. What if they say that they are humanity’s last hold and then annihilate them!”
“Don’t worry about that. Even if we don’t win, the probability of being annihilated is low.”
“How can you be sure?”
At her question, I smiled.
“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have sent you alone.”
never.
“By the way, Mars, why can’t I see him?”
My brother came out of the cell, and as a brother, I have to come out to meet him.
Disappointed, Leslie revealed a shocking truth.
“I ran away… I hit him”
“It would be more accurate to say that I was leaving Isabelle in a safe place rather than running away. Because this is the most dangerous place on the continent right now. And partly because Isabelle was afraid of the punishment Cloud-sama would bring.”
“That bastard who only fears it… no, that bastard.”
“Since she lost her connection with the succubus, she has become noticeably weaker. Of course, he’s more extraordinary than others, but he’s nothing compared to Cloud-sama. And since I saw those things in Cloud-sama’s nightmare… wouldn’t it be strange not to be intimidated?”
“What… I didn’t mean to do something so harsh…”
“What were you trying to do?”
“I just shaved my head and tried to insert Mars into the Knights Templar.”
“…”
“…”
Katarina and Leslie looked at me with strange eyes without a word.
What. why.
“It’s a bit sad though. When your brother’s life comes and goes, you’re thinking of running away with your girlfriend.”
“Oh, if that’s the case, you don’t have to be sad. Before Cloud-sama’s release was decided, we had a plan to break out with us. I took Isabelle with me after it became clear that Cloud-sama’s temporary release was certain.”
..
“You tried to do something outrageous without your knowledge.”
“It’s natural for a person to be denied to do something for her husband.”
“It almost turned the empire upside down.”
“This corrupt country needs to be turned over once in a while.”
haha.
I’m going crazy, really.
“Okay… Let’s stop talking about this. Where is Shedia?”
Leslie pointed down with her index finger. I followed her fingers and bowed my head to see Shedia sticking out her head in my shadow.
“Called”
“Why are you there again… no… well, take it.”
He took out all the remaining moonstone pieces and handed them to her. Shedia, who received the moonstone pieces, widened her eyes.
“I’m really giving you”
“Instead of giving everything, let’s do one last thing.”
“What’s going on?”
“First, pack your bags. I’ll tell you as we go.”
“okay!”
Shedia smiled and sank into the shadows.
“You’re going to pack your bags… Are you planning to leave this place?”
“yes.”
“It’s not against my oath.”
“it’s okay.”
The stigma of the oath was erased the moment I left the temple. If you see that nothing has happened so far, there will be no problems in the future.
Even if there is, you can get through it.
“If Cloud-nim said yes, it would be. I will follow you.”
“thank you. Katarina, you
Katarina glared at me with narrow eyes.
“Of course I will. What if I add another woman in the blink of an eye?”
“No, it’s really over now…”
“I won’t believe the flirt anymore! So where are you going?”
“First, go to where Neria is.”
It’s time to end this filthy affair.
The location of Neria was known long ago thanks to the Jeon Seo-gu sent by Eri.
“This is your… no, this is Cloud’s hometown”
“right.”
“It’s a small town, but it’s true.”
Katarina said as she looked around the village.
“…but everyone seems to be looking at this, am I mistaken?”
“It is not an illusion. This is Cloud’s hometown. It must be because they recognize Cloud-sama’s appearance and do that.”
As if attesting to Leslie’s words, an older man approached them. The middle-aged man with a sharp impression looked at Cloud in disbelief and opened his mouth.
“Cloud.. Boo, apparently Neria was dead…”
“Excuse me, but who are you?”
“I, fly! Neria’s father! I saw it a lot when I was young, but I can’t remember.”
For some reason, the man’s voice was desperate.
Then Cloud glanced him up and down and—
“I don’t remember.”
He shook his head.
The murmur of the residents watching the situation turned into laughter. Thanks to this, the man’s face was stained with shame, but Cloud had no choice but to do so.
‘What do you really do not know?’
You can’t pretend to know someone you don’t know.
Neria is dead, hmmge, anyway, why didn’t he go after Frillite first!?
