229 – Confession – 1
“Are you going to show me?”
“Come with us and you will find out.”
Floretta and Luna held my hands one by one and urged me. I quietly followed him. I wondered what the hell they were trying to show me, but the two of them just smiled at my gaze and passed it over casually.
“Here it is, Delta.”
The place where the popes stopped was in front of a room, and as soon as I entered the room, I was startled and froze in place.
Inside was a holy robe. Just like the popes wore, it is close to clothes only in words, and its actual role is not clothes that make the body stand out, but a holy robe that is really wrapped from head to toe.
Actually, the fact that there were holy clothes was not a problem. No matter what the popes gave me, it wasn’t strange at all because it was my current position.
“Do you like it?”
“We conceived it ourselves. When spinning clothes, we are going to embroider them one by one.”
It’s because the design is so flashy.
The pattern unique to the Seongguk was engraved all over the clothes, and 1/3 of the clothes were golden, 1/3 were silver, and the other 1/3 were pitch-black. In addition, I saw all kinds of ornaments decorated with pure gold and pure silver.
The ornaments on the arms were so flashy that the coat, which seemed to be designed to be worn over the shoulder, was similar. On the back, the sun and moon figures were adorned with gold and silver.
That wasn’t enough, there was even a coffin coated with jewels, gold, and pure silver on top of the collar.
With a bit of exaggeration, it seemed like it could be seen from several kilometers away.

“When did you make this?”
“I haven’t made it yet.”
“You didn’t make it?”
“Touch your clothes, Delta.”
I reached out my hand to the castle. However, his right hand passed through the place where the holy clothes were and slipped backwards.
When I was spinning the clothes earlier, I remembered what the popes said they were going to embroider by themselves. Now, no matter what method was used, it seemed that only the appearance was roughly fixed.
“Because we have to listen to your opinion, we only have the shape. If there is anything you would like to fix, please let me know.”
“There is absolutely no need to be burdened. You can order as many times as you want, hundreds or thousands of times.”
The fact that I have to wear this kind of clothes is inexhaustibly burdensome.
I looked around at the brightly shining clothes that were right in front of me, as if they were emitting sunlight and moonlight. How do i do this
“…… What are these clothes used for?”
“This is the clothes you will wear when proclaiming your existence to the whole kingdom. You are favored by the sun and moon, so you must shine brighter than anyone else.”
“Wouldn’t it be enough to wear it just once?”
“If you want, you can do it as much as you want—”
“No. It’s okay. Once is enough.”
When I flatly refused, Floretta and Luna chuckled.
“I expected that. You are very humble and do not reveal yourself.”
“We knew this too, but we decided that we had no choice but to rely on your mercy. Will you please forgive my sister for her rudeness?”
“…… It’s okay if it’s just once. If I had to wear it on a regular basis, I would have thought a lot.”
“This is a very uncomfortable suit. It is so grossly disrespectful that I dare not even ask for forgiveness.”
I glanced at the holy clothes Floretta and Luna were wearing.
There are more places exposed than covered, underwear is not worn as if it were natural, the whole body is clearly visible through the see-through, the secret area is narrowly covered with a piece of cloth, and high heels are worn.
If you only look at the outside, wouldn’t that clothes be more uncomfortable?
“If you said you would choose Seongguk, I wanted to show you this.”
“What if I said I would stay in the Empire?”
“We should have buried it in our hearts. Until the day you return to the holy kingdom someday.”
“But…… You went far beyond our sisters. You dreamed of more. You who are full and worthy to take us, the sun and the moon look upon you…… The Pope of the Sun and the Pope of the Moon will always follow you.”
Floretta and Luna slapped their faces on my shoulder. It was a very happy face.
The Popes who stood in the imperial palace for more than a full day conveyed their intention to return to the Holy Land, perhaps because they had achieved their goal of bringing me into the Holy Land.
Kai Kilia looked very uncomfortable when I told her that in the bedroom, but she didn’t comment. It seemed that the popes thought there was nothing wrong with going back.
Even after the word that she would choose both the emperor and the pope, her appearance in Caikilia did not change much. She was overbearing as usual, and her pride dripped from her every word.
The difference between her is that when she directs her gaze to my lower body, she more often bites her lip or trembles slightly on her own.
Judging from the position of his gaze, he seemed quite resentful of having helplessly followed my orders in bed.
Meeting with Cecilia wasn’t very long either. For she alone had bitten her lips and shrunk her body before ordering her to be a guest.
I returned to her room with Kae Kilia, whose cheeks were starting to turn red, behind her.
“…… Lord?”
Aurora was in the room I stayed in. Aurora was sitting on the sofa reading a book and drinking tea leisurely, and as soon as she saw me, she smiled brightly and waved her hand gently.
“What brought you to my room?”
“There is nothing special. I’ve only been there once. Why? No?”
“It can’t be. I just want to know what’s going on.”
“It is true that there is nothing to do. Now is the time to think. Wasn’t I firmly taken by my aunt the other day? If you move for nothing, you won’t see anything good. Also, the fact that you were dragged to hell made me run too fast.”
When I thought about what it meant to be stamped by Kai Kilia, it came to mind that she tried to reinstate the position of the Knights of the Silver Dawn, and when she met Cai Kilia, she picked it up and was mentioned.
If it wasn’t for me, the atmosphere wouldn’t have been strange at all even if something had happened, so from Aurora’s point of view, it was natural for her to die peacefully.
I don’t know now, but I couldn’t do anything about Caicilia back then.
“What are you doing here, Delta? I heard that you went to Minerva-sama’s tower, but how long have you been researching, so you’re here now?”
“Oh, I have something to say about that too.”
Originally, I planned to visit Rize first after stopping by the room for a while. But since Laura is here, she won’t mind hinting.
“Really? What?”
“This is an unexpected request, but can I drop all honorifics from now on and just call you by your first name?”
The hand that was bringing the teacup to his mouth stopped abruptly. Suddenly, my hands started to tremble. The tea water spilled over the rim of the teacup and ran down the side of the pottery, leaving dark marks on the black dress.
“Mu, that, muh, what… ….”
The shock must have been so great that I couldn’t even speak properly. She walked up to him. The closer the distance got, the worse the trembling became. A hiccup sound was heard.
“You, you…… I know what that means…….”
“I know and speak. It means to have a formal relationship, not a vaguely mixed body relationship like before.”
“…… What kind of wind did it blow? Did you get the wrong experiment at the Magic Tower? If it were Minerva-sama, the personality would remain—”
“No. I have just spoken to His Majesty the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope.”
The shaking in my hands stopped.
But it wasn’t that his head calmed down and stopped, it was more like his body reflexively stiffened from being so startled. Suddenly, the book that was barely held in his hand rolled down onto his thigh.
I put the book that had fallen on my thigh onto the table, put the dripping teacup down on the table, and wiped Laura’s tea-soaked hands with her handkerchief.
Creak creak, head turned.
“What did you say?”
“Before that, I will ask your permission. Are you okay?”
“It’s me, I’m fine. Of course it’s fine. Rather, I wanted to ask from my side. Because I was thinking about when I would treat you comfortably…… No, no. It doesn’t matter now. To my aunt and His Holiness the Pope…… What?”
The golden eyes trembled nonstop. It was a natural reaction since it was such an unexpected confession.
“You, no way…… With them…….”
“Right. It’s what you think.”
Once I got permission, I calmly replied in plain language.
Having said this, Aurora, frozen in her place, did not intend to move. Her eyes as she looked at me were full of astonishment. She purred as her lips wanted to say something.
“Why? Do you hate it?”
“No, I absolutely do not hate it…… I don’t think Rize and I can handle it anyway…… I also thought that if it were you, you should be like that…… That… ….”
Aurora spoke gibberish.
“I’ll explain the details later when everyone, including Rize, is gathered.”
Because there is still one person left to tell.
