Treason-5
“Are you sure you want to go?”
When the dozens of lights split in the stained glass hit the ground, before long, the colorful lights shimmered mysteriously.
The same was true of the light that touched the pure white clothes. The pope’s voice was as sweet as ever, but Adrian chose to ignore it for a moment.
It was after making a decision that was too cold, arbitrary, and selfish to be a saint.
“That’s right.”
“The title of saintess will remain the same, but even so, criticism will follow. No matter how… it’s right to follow personal greed, isn’t it?”
Some felt pity for being taken as children and becoming saints. However, this religion was not a place where everything could be decided simply by sympathy.
The sympathy they had as children faded, and how many church members enthusiastically followed the saintess as she grew up.
Even the pope himself couldn’t help but admit that the saint’s value lies in that. Adrian’s recent affair with Robert Taylor…was known.
because he is the pope At least I have no choice but to know what is going on in this church.
Even though she was a saint, she didn’t say anything about it, because it was simply the consideration of an old man apart from the pope. Now, the moment he left like this, he had no choice but to hold the saintess accountable.
“Ask me again.”
As the pope’s old mouth moved, Adrian nodded slightly, recalling for a moment the day he first arrived at the church.
The current pope, who was still a cardinal at the time, was the most terrifying person. However, now that the guns are gone, he just looks like a grandfather.
In the end, he was convinced that he would allow his ridiculous deterrence.
“Are you sure you want to go? Going to the northern part of the upheaval right now could be regarded as treason by the imperial family.”
“If God commands, then you must obey.”
“…Did God really command that? Can the face you draw in your mind really be called a god?”
Although Adrian did not answer the question and remained silent. Isn’t it clear what that means? The pope laughed bitterly and sighed as he wiped his wrinkled face down.
I thought that one day this day would come. Because she wasn’t born and raised in the church in the first place, she was free to be a saint and experienced quite a lot.
Contrary to the doctrine that the church insists on, there will be a time when you will leave with a completely different meaning.
It’s love. If the saintess sincerely believes in and follows that romantic feeling, what should she do? If the saintess left, the only criticism that would come out after that was her own.
I didn’t catch the saintess. The pope became senile and abandoned the grace of God. But what if we don’t capture it here, what if Robert Taylor, whom the saintess loves, is buried somewhere in the north?
‘My head will explode.’
I don’t know what God’s will is. I never wanted to throw complicated problems at this dying old man, just…just. Maybe it’s God’s will for this to happen.
The Pope looked at Adrian, who lowered his head, then quietly stretched out his hand holding the cane in front of him.
“Adrian.”
Divine power leaked from his hands and covered Adrian’s body. It was the first time the pope, whom he had always called a saint, had called by name, so Adrian looked at the pope in shock.
In the green eyes that had lost their firearms, the stern light I had seen as a child returned for a moment. Those pupils narrowed for a while, then slowly began to fade with a sigh leaking out.
“I always wanted you to be happy.”
Wouldn’t it be comfortable to bring a child who knows nothing just because it’s God’s grace?
I wondered many times whether this was truly God’s will. However, now I came to think that even releasing Adrian was God’s will.
If God really wants this. It would be contrary to doctrine to prevent them from doing it.
“I will allow it.”
“…His Holiness the Pope-”
“Leave right away. Church members who heard the news will flock to this place soon.”
treason. It’s an incident that never exploded for a good reason. Perhaps the Archduke or Robert, who was swept away by this fire, would not be fine.
Given her own power, even if she was seriously injured, she would be able to heal it. In case of emergency, it is also to exercise the authority that has been piled up in the past. maybe it’s possible
Adrian looked at the pope for a moment, then got up and immediately turned his back. It was the moment when Adrian’s going undercover in the northern part of the country was decided.

Mephisto’s body is crumbling. The meaning of the broken body was simple.
It must mean that the accumulated mana, even the lifelong mana, is gathered in that finger and shoots out mana.
ran to the fullest extent possible. I was used to clenching my teeth, but I felt a sharp pain as if I had broken my teeth with too much force.
Considered.
That something like this could happen. However, there was no way to stop it. In the first place, dealing with two demons is only possible if you squeeze as much as possible.
If he had been in perfect condition, he would have been able to remove that mana somehow. But now that was impossible.
One arm was broken, and the magical power he had was all that could finish Mephisto.
It felt like everything was slowing down. That short time was split into dozens or hundreds of pieces, to the extent that even fragments could be observed.
There aren’t many bodies that can withstand the stares pouring down on me, the soldiers falling under the crumbling walls, and the magical power.
No emotion could be read on the faces of those who crumble as soon as the waves of magic hit them.
maybe i’ve been ignoring Selfish thoughts, because there was only one person in my head right now.
Coincidentally, at the end of the direction where the magical storm raged, I felt the familiar magic power. It was an energy that I was quite used to after meeting him not long after I returned.
Adele, that’s why I came here. Wasn’t he the one who promised to save no matter what?
okay.
No matter what. I expected that there would be a self-destruction like this, but in the end I couldn’t find a way out.
What am I supposed to do when a situation like this comes up? There was only one thing I thought of. Because no matter what happened, I made it as if nothing had happened.
Maybe… there’s only one. Adele could be seen in the distance. And along that direction, before the mana could reach, he ran and threw himself.
#
Adele rubbed the back of her throbbing neck and frowned slightly. I don’t think I’d faint myself there.
I thought there would be something, but I never imagined that it would make me faint without romance. Seeing how stunned he was, and seeing three strong magical reactions outside, Robert was probably fighting demons.
She wants to go out and help, but Adele knows very well why Robert knocked her out. Perhaps interfering in that fight would only be a hindrance.
The reality that he was only a hindrance was funny, but he couldn’t even guess what Robert was thinking there.
“What am I?”
Aren’t there Adrian and Miragen? Even if one of them dies, it won’t matter. Rather, dying would be more helpful… Damn it.
Adele knew better than anyone that Robert couldn’t make up his mind like this. If he were Robert, he would have come here to save him.
Still, it was true that I was worried, so I couldn’t stay here forever. Their adjutants are probably watching that battle.
The hallway was quiet when Adele opened the door and came out with her sword. Sometimes the soldiers I saw were busy preparing something, and sometimes I saw one of the adjutants hurriedly running away.
If there is no confidence, the person who has the authority to command is Lotos, but what kind of order did everyone give?
After thinking for a while, Adele smiled as she realized that all of this was for the sake of one. Coup d’état, if Robert wins against the demons, he will have to advance to the capital immediately.
Ironically, the moment he was branded as a traitor, the lives of all northerners were at stake.
If he couldn’t move on from here, he would have to sit down and die, so Adele, who had managed to figure out the point and praised Lotos inwardly, took a step forward. All I really hoped was that Robert would not get hurt.
You’re probably fighting for your life. However, it must have been because he was there that he stunned himself and moved on.
If he really thought he was going to die, he would have said to defeat all the northern soldiers. I would have gone away with the thought of winning. To advance immediately after winning.
The reason why the footsteps stopped after walking for such a long time was because of the strong waves felt in the distance.
An intense storm of magical power aimed in this direction, completely different from the one before. At the same time, I also felt Robert’s magic power, but it was only for a moment.
It was the moment Adele tried to draw out the magic from the falling debris when the magic that had not completely offset the magic attacked the castle.
“Robert…?”
I intuitively noticed that I couldn’t block this magical power with my own power. It’ll probably die, or if it survives, it’ll be crippled.
But why is Robert there? Robert, who didn’t even say anything even though their eyes met, blocked Adele’s way. Gasping for breath, he covered his face with his bloodied body.
The meaning of the act was clear. Adele’s hand, which was trying to block it, was blocked in the air and bounced off.
Since all of Robert’s mana had already become a veil and covered his face, Adele’s screams as she knocked on the curtain with her hand did not reach Robert.
“Robert, what the hell are you-!”
“it’s nothing.”
Isn’t it the life you’ve been repeating to save? Robert smiled softly as he met Adele’s eyes.
It was the smirk he always made casually, like soothing a crying child. It was definitely a reality that the storm of magical power coming from behind was slowly breaking through the barrier.
Kwajik.
The mana exploded as it touched his body, and his mouth was smiling even though he felt a sharp pain in his body being pierced.
“Nothing, it won’t be.”
Because it was decided that way from the beginning. Even if he dies, isn’t it a business that can be eaten cheaply if one Adele is saved.
In the midst of his fading consciousness, in the complete disappearance of magic, Robert, who confirmed that Adele was fine, laughed quietly.
That’s it.
This was enough.
Robert can’t die , he is MC he can’t die…
