52 – Spiral Palace (3)
Tap knock─ knock─.
It may be a bit more relaxed, but there was a man who did not lose the spirit he had during his apprenticeship even though he rose to the position of a second-class priest in the church.
His name is Lian.
He was in charge of education for Cecil Lionelta, the cutie of the church, and was an assistant to Saint Erman. He was currently walking briskly with his hands full of what appeared to be pieces of cloth.
“Well, today is an important day for our Church of Telmere. An angelic representative who studied under Priest Brukin. “Julius Tapnel and Cryil Reynell are coming to the central church for a baptism ceremony.”
We are showing the majesty of the Church of Telmere to these arrogant kids who don’t know anything about the world!
“”Waaa—─ !””
Out there, the loud cheers of the instructors and trainees in charge of training the Heretic Questioners.
Apparently, these are angelic representatives who will arrive at the church today. It seems like preparations are being made for the hazing ceremony of a boy named Julius and Cryil.
“I hope you don’t take it too seriously.”
From newborn babies to 80-year-olds,
Rian is a polite young man who only uses polite language to everyone.
He was not a fan of the harsh hazing practices of the heresy inquisitors.
He was a man without such ambition, so on the contrary, being a priest was a good fit for him.
Tap-tap-tap-tap.
He was walking briskly while thinking such trivial thoughts, but the place where his steps stopped was in front of a small wooden door with a dull brown color.
Beyond the church, he is one of the most noble beings in the entire Kingdom of Lyriam.
It looks too simple to be the place where Saint Erman resides.
However, the majesty shown by the explosive yet neat divine power emanating from there was truly a saint chosen by God.
To face Erman, whom he would never be able to get used to, Rian slowly brought his trembling hand to the door and knocked once.
The reason I really knocked only once was because the priest named Rian was a coward who would go down in the history of the church.
“Oh, please come in.”
The voice of a cheerful middle-aged man heard from beyond the door.
Luckily, today seems to be a very good day for the saint.
The sight that caught Rian’s eyes as he opened the door and entered, calming himself down even more than before, carefully fearing that the clothes in his hands might get damaged.
It was an obscene act of Erman holding a small picture frame and dancing with his nostrils flaring.
“…Second Priest Lian. “I am just now on my way after carrying out the saint’s orders.”
“Huh, indeed. Ryan! How long are you going to be so stiff? “It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other face-to-face since our apprenticeship days, and it’s still like that…”
As soon as he came in, Rian heard what the saint said, and his heart, which had been slowly loosening, tightened again, and now he could only continue talking, stuttering like a completely broken doll.
“Well, so. “Why did you give me this order?”
In response to a rare question from a second-class priest, Erman put down the portrait he was holding in his hand and said, “It’s his close friend.” He started bobbing his chin with a mischievous smile like Brookin’s.
“Do you know what day today is?”
“… Today, representatives of angels come to the church…”
“No, no! “Today is the day when our Cecile finally officially becomes a priest!”
hahahaha!
Where did the spirit of the name saint come from?
Erman twitches the corner of his mouth and bursts into laughter as the central church leaves, as if the word ‘armless’ has literally been transformed into a human being.
I looked closely at the portrait in front of him.
You can see a girl with brown hair and Saint Erman with a solemn expression.
… When did you make something like that?
If I keep quiet like this, I might be forced to listen to serious thoughts about why a girl named Cecil Lionelta is cute all day long.
Lian, who felt indescribable fear at the fact that his long-awaited afternoon vacation might be in vain, committed an act of disloyalty that would have been unimaginable to anyone who knew him: cutting off the saint’s words midway. It ended.
“Well, Miss Cecil, you are still not good at handling sacred flames, so is it okay for you to become a priest in such a hurry?”
“Certainly, Cecil’s skills in handling flames are poor enough to be a priest.”
“Well, then take your time and get a little more education.”
“No! That will never happen, definitely today! “Cecil must become a priest.”
Erman shakes his head and desperately tries to make Cecil a priest.
What on earth is the reason for being so obsessed with priests?
Rian, who was curious about the reason, quietly asked the saint who was behaving obscenely with Cecil’s portrait in front of him again, and the shocking words that came out of his mouth caused him to lose his mind and almost collapse.
“This Lyriam is so dangerous, we never know when the wolves will attack our cute Cecil. The only way to stop them is for Cecil to become a priest!”
Apparently, the eight-year-old saint who was crazy about her daughter hoped that the girl, Cecil Lionel Taran, would remain a bright child for the rest of her life.
That’s because becoming a priest means living a life of chastity.
“Um… Then why did you order me to prepare the Heretic Questioner uniform?”
“Ah. “There’s no particular reason for that, I just want to see our Cecile’s cute appearance in her black uniform.”
“… ….”
Only one person.
The craftsmen worked tirelessly for three days and nights to make priestly uniforms and inquisitor uniforms just for Cecil Lionelta, but their blood and sweat seems to have been reduced to a moment of entertainment.
“Anyway, what did our Cecile say yesterday?”
I’m not interested in men, I’ll just live my life alone. Say something.
hahahahaha ─.
This is something everyone in the church knows.
It was common knowledge close to the truth that everyone knew that the saint’s adoptive daughter, a girl named Cecil, was reluctant to marry her man.
At one time, I was worried that he might actually like the same woman, but when I see him go beyond the level of being a man or a woman and seem not to be that interested in love itself, a thought inevitably comes to mind.
This child was born with a destiny to live as a priest.
Anyway, looking at Erman, who started talking about obvious facts as if they were secrets that only he knew, Second Class Priest Rian prayed and prayed that someone would come and rescue him from this hellish treadmill.
Doo doo doo ─── Bang!
Did Rom, who gave him his wish, grant it?
The door to the office exploded open with a terrifying roar echoing through the church’s hallways.
The girl with brown hair opened the simple, small wooden door with the intention of breaking it down, and was desperately trying to catch her breath, which had become rough from running at an incredible speed.
“Oh! My lovely daughter Cecile! You came at the right time. A special priest’s uniform has finally been prepared for you. “Rian?”
At the saint’s call, Rian lifts up the priestess’ uniform that was in her hand neatly in her left hand, and in her right hand, she lifts a black uniform that resembles mourning clothes filled with Ermann’s desires.
As he pushed the priest’s robe in front of the girl, whose face was blushing, the famously handsome father could only smile brightly at his daughter.
“Today, I decided to be baptized as a priest, but I thought you might be interested in working as an inquisitor, so I prepared this uniform as well.”
“…… Bah.”
“Ah, but it would probably be better to become a priest. As my smart daughter knows well, being an interrogator involves a lot of unpleasant things. And if you become a priest, you can study under me and aim to become the next saint…”
“……Dad!”
“Um, okay. Our cute Cecil. “Hurry up and change into your priestly clothes, there isn’t much time left until the baptism.”
“I have a dream. So, I don’t do anything like a priest!”
“……?”
Cecil suddenly came running to me and declared that she would not become a priest, saying that she had a dream.
Erman, surprised by her bombshell declaration, opens his mouth and tries to blurt out what she said,
The girl’s second bombshell announcement made him lose his mind and almost collapse.
“I’m going to get married. I had to look for it today. “My destined partner!”
“Three, Cecil? “What on earth is that?”
Now the saint is slowly walking towards his daughter with tears in his eyes.
The girl blushed and began to twist her body towards her father, who had a pitiful expression on his face when seen from the side. No, the woman drove her last stake into Erman’s chest.
“Julius.”
“… Julius?”
“Julius Tapnel! “This is my first time with a man who made my heart beat!”
“… Is your heart… Racing?”
“I want to get married. This is really my first time doing something like this. “I’m going crazy because I want Julius!”
“… Marriage? Crazy?”
Unbelievable words came out of the mouth of Cecil Lionelta, who was famous for not even looking at the man, ripping out Erman’s heart without mercy, and seeing my daughter’s cheeks blush as she shouted the man’s name. Unable to accept it, he stood still and lost consciousness.
“Eh, Erman!”
“Ah, Uncle Lian. “Give me these clothes.”
The heartless girl, who didn’t even look at her father even though she passed out and blinded her, runs up to Lian at frequent paces, waving her small hands and clamoring for the priest’s robe in his hand.
… Why on earth are priests wearing priestly uniforms in this situation?
“Well, what you said earlier was a joke, right? From now on, you are going to receive the baptism ceremony….”
“No, Julius said he would enter the training center in the afternoon. So, let me pretend to be a priest and hide and watch. hehehehe.”
The girl, with a bright smile and clear sky blue eyes that seemed to have melted the blue sky and dropped it, quickly snatched her priest’s robe from Lian’s hand and started running with the same momentum as she had come, making a huge roar.
How can the current situation turn out?
Until I went out for a walk this morning, the mere mention of the man’s ‘four’ was enough to make me feel embarrassed.
For a moment, Second Class Priest Rian, who was feeling dizzy at the incomprehensible situation, straightened his disordered posture when he heard the grave and solemn voice of the saint coming from next to him and lowered his head to listen to his orders.
“Rian, how many priests who can perform demonic rituals are currently stationed in our church.”
“Hmm… Excluding those in training, the number of people involved in the demon fire sacrifice is probably around 40 priests and 50 heresy inquisitors.
“… Call everyone.”
“…… Yes?”
“Call everyone.”
Red and watery eyes, red ear lobes showing that he is completely angry, and even large hands that are trembling.
The head of the Telmere Church who is madly expressing his anger with his entire body.
She is a precious daughter who was raised on her back and breastfed her since childhood. She forcefully opened her mouth, which her father, who died in Cecil and lived in Cecil, was unable to open, and quietly spoke her words towards Lian.
“… It is a subjugation operation.”
“Well, if you say it’s a subjugation operation.”
“Inform all clergy stationed in the church right now.”
Nabal, the representative of the angels, tells you to burn the boy named Julius Tapnel right now.
A sincere word drawn from the heart.
Looking at the saint who seriously ordered her to defeat the boy who had harassed her daughter in half a day, Lian just nodded with a dumb expression on her face.
Honestly, as the person in charge of education for a cute girl named Cecil. This was because she, too, felt a little disgusted with the boy named Julius.
.
.
.
“Well, what is it? Um… no matter how late I am, what is this?”
“Shut up, Julius Tapnel!!!! The treasure of the cult that dared to play with her wicked tongue. Are you seducing our cutie Cecil? “Burn that black wolf cub right now!”
Wow──!

After that. With Cecil’s help, she belatedly arrived at the Inquisitor Training Center, and in front of Julius, who was fighting with Krail, a group of scary-looking priests came and held a grand hazing ceremony.
It was a secret, not a secret, known only to the people of the Telmere Church.

“But what on earth do you have to prepare? “I just need to use magic to take care of your sleeping body.”
“You! What on earth is that tone of voice? “Since ancient times, women have to take good care of themselves wherever they go.”
A man with blond hair who tilts his head and spits out insensitive words as if he doesn’t understand her, and a woman with brown hair who puffs out her cheeks and slaps the man’s wide back as if his words are absurd.
The devil and the priest, like a pair of lovebirds, were currently engaged in a petty argument before their long-awaited date.
“Women want to look pretty at any time. This is why they are men. “Be more subtle!”
“I don’t understand. My wife Cecile is dazzlingly beautiful at any time. But I see that you don’t think of yourself that way. “I guess she’s Cecil.”
“Ugh….”
“Huh?”
“Uh… No. “I’m always pretty.”
Embarrassing words came out of the mouth of the devil who could not bear to say that he was not Cecil, and Julius, who had enjoyed his small victory, put a faint smile on his lips and leisurely walked outside.
“I will be spending time in the garden. Dress yourself up slowly and come out. “As a woman, you are always late for your date.”
“You said that knowing that? Be honest. “Are you deliberately troubling me?”
Just like in the old days, she was playing silly pranks, throwing dolls at her mischievous husband and screaming loudly, but the miserable devil trapped in eternity smiled at the feeling of unbearable happiness soaring toward the sky. I didn’t know how to erase it.
Yes, I have endured eons for this moment.
My love. I want to achieve a happy life with Julius.
“…? Did I do that? Um… I think it was that way, maybe it wasn’t.”
I don’t know.
But that’s not what’s important now.
First, for a private time with Julius.
Because there is so much to prepare.
What on earth was she trying to prepare without Julius knowing?
A lowly doll that is the devil’s creature. Julius II lifted his large head, desperately stretched out his long legs, and looked at what Cecil was doing without his husband’s knowledge.
-…… ?
The sight was so shocking. Stop jumping backwards – the doll falls and rolls around.
What was the devil doing in the eyes of the familiar?
“Okay, everyone wake up. “Because your miserable lives exist for this very moment.”
─── Mate!
At the sound of a single clap from her white and beautiful hands, large and small black birds began to pour out from the shadows at her feet.
The devil’s minions, all of whom had the ominous appearance of crows, began to chirp at the top of their voices, feeling unbearable joy at having come to this world.
Caw ───.
“Shh! What are these people doing now! What if Julius hears this and realizes what I’m trying to do? If he gets mad at me, will you guys take responsibility?”
… ───.
Numerous black birds twitching their proud beaks in silence at the fearful shouts of their master.
Cecil was pleased to see them becoming quiet.
With a satisfied smile, he told them about the important mission of their lives.
“From now on, visit every place where women are nearby, especially around the lake near the royal castle. Age doesn’t matter. “But when searching, prioritize young women and be on guard.”
The master’s command is incomprehensible.
A flock of jackdaws, showing off their black feathers, tilted their heads and looked at their great creator.
I began to express doubts about the great evil Nirhil.
“You don’t know why you have to do that? Aren’t you guys stupid? Julius is a guy too. He’s a young, strong man who smells a woman’s feces and is lustful. Even if there is something to be lustful about, it is something that has to happen with my own scent. Now you get it, right? Well, we don’t have time. “Hurry up and move quickly, you little things.”
In case my husband finds out, the devil opens the window that faces the backyard, not the front yard, and hurriedly gestures with his hand.
The flock of jackdaws and King Julius II, who were looking at this from afar, desperately suppressed the urge to shake their heads.
The owner’s only spouse and a pure man.
Even Julius Tapnel would not be able to say that it was cute if he saw it with his own eyes.
Crazy love goes beyond pure love.
Not wanting to die, they had no choice but to spread their wings and start flying outside the window, in the sky of Darkana, they thought.
At this point, I’m wondering if I should change my master’s nickname.
Rather than the old-fashioned title ‘The Emperor’s Nightmare,’ mad love seemed more appropriate.
Caw───!

“… Sister. Even if I look at him as a real devil. “I don’t think that’s right.”
Elania, who usurped the throne, plucked out the servants’ eyes alive for fun, and watched over Cecil while building a tower made of her eyeballs, must have had the same thoughts as the jackdaws.
The servants, who were rolling around on the floor, holding on to their torn-out eyes and screaming at the top of their lungs, seemed to have other thoughts.
The story of King Seong, full of sweet love and despair that took place in the capital.
