172 Archbishop Fake (2)
Calm down, Jesse.
“Bengjamin, Canael.”
calm down.
“He looks so white.”
I wasn’t very calm.
After grasping the situation, I went forward with the divine beasts hanging loosely all over my body, and witnessed the shadows on the faces of the two servants in real time.
Canael, who was crying, waved his hands and said, ‘It’s never going to happen. You’ll get the ether back soon!’ did.
Benjamin nodded his head politely.
uh? Wait a minute.
“How did you know?”
I blinked my eyes.
I didn’t say that Ether wasn’t coming out, but the two seemed to already know about my condition.
Benjamin exchanged glances with the boy and broke his luck with difficulty.
“The prince… After I lost consciousness, my dream position returned to the way it used to be. All Juliet Palace users are acutely aware of it. But no one speaks out loud.”

Oh It was there, right.
“It’s not like you’re having nightmares all of a sudden. It just became similar to the winter before the prince entered the palace. I was silent because I thought you would be shocked if I told you first.”
“··········…”
“We are just getting back to normal, Prince. Do not be sorry.”
‘Rather, we have been indebted to a precious person. I’m sorry.’ The middle-aged man smiled kindly.
Ether was not really flowing from me, and the ordinary people around me knew it.
Then, of course, the Crown Prince would be aware of my condition.
I barely clenched my jaw, trying to put together the fragments of thoughts that popped out in all directions.
I couldn’t stay confused the whole time. I had to calmly plan for the future.
“Have you left anything behind, Sir Aurelly?”
I asked. Master was the first person to examine me in the Imperial Palace.
There was no way that she was unaware of this special situation, and her grandson needed a priest partner, so perhaps the imperial family was in a more desperate situation than me.
Benjamin and Canael immediately shook their heads at my question. The prediction was right.
“You left a few books and letters to look at. He also said that he would walk again as soon as time permits.”
Canael answered cautiously. I raised my harp seal on my back and shut my mouth sternly.
Yes, it was time to digest the original schedule again.
I was stuck in the Juliet Gosiwon, studying hard and eating well.
The disappearance of his superpowers should not have broken his will.
No matter what happened, I decided to survive and return home.
*
So it was the next day. It was like going back to March right after the possession.
The first week of taking the exam in earnest to live without any abilities.
“’A priest leads to death’ . . . Not this.”
I was out on the terrace on the first floor in the warm autumn sun.
I’ve heard that the weather is mild year-round in the zodiac except during the hot winds, but that’s true.
Even though it was mid-October, the air was quite warm until sunset.
The spacious table was full of snack plates and teacups, and all kinds of books, including the Biweekly Lister and Protestant Commentaries, were spread out.
＜Wow! The notebook page summarizing Eve’s Great Adventure> stood up and lay down repeatedly in the wind.
The letter that Master delivered to me was placed right in the center.
“Listen, Tite. There are two main cases in which a priest cannot use ether.”
– hey
I explained to the harp seal on my lap.
“One is that the heart stops. Then your body can’t produce any more ether. You are going to die.”
-Boo······
Perhaps it was too scary for a kid, Tite became flat like a nude kimbap with her black eyes and nose pulled back.
Then the red pandas who were biting the back of the book from one side of the table came and beat me with their fluffy tails.
The outsiders knew nothing about it, but the gods of the Empire were so ferocious and violent.
I laughed and apologized.
“I’m sorry, I scared you, the youngest. It wasn’t on purpose.”
– Ki-eung
“I will repent. And second, breaking the covenant and losing the ether. This is similar to a paladin.”
I was reminded of a few facts about the covenant of the Protestant clergy.
If they break the covenant, they get a penalty of ‘lost’, whereas the priest’s randomness was the only punishment that the paladin would receive: ‘seal of power’.
Conversely, it could happen that the priest was unlucky to be sealed with power.
According to the librarian, there were actually cases where, instead of losing money or memory, they had their ether taken away and returned to the public.
However, this seemed to apply only when a very important covenant was broken.
“But what about me? I never broke a promise. So this is not it.”
I drew a line in my notebook. In the first place, there was only one time when we made a promise.
That was already 5 months ago. The night when the fever was approaching.
[I swear.]
‘You make a promise to me.’
I promised Sadie that I did not communicate with Shin-guk and I will not in the future.
He didn’t break that, so he wasn’t sealed with the ether as a penalty.

Of course, my body was not a typical case.
Cardinal Boutier’s letter caught my eye again.
‘·······The day when the sky of the gods had a sky, I heard that the prince caused an etheric runaway. I didn’t see it myself, so I don’t know if it was a runaway or other symptoms similar to runaway.’
That day, Sir Elizabeth and Prince Sedric witnessed me.
The two didn’t know that I had the ‘Sacrament of Wishes’ inside, so it must have looked like an etheric runaway.
Considering the bloodshed and fainting that followed the intense golden ether explosion, it was a reasonable conclusion.
‘If it was a runaway, I think the prince’s vessel was temporarily closed due to the impact of that time.’
‘We are conducting research under the assumption that it is a kind of sequelae. We are also investigating whether there was a priest who lost power for a certain period of time due to the etheric runaway.’
aftereffect······. I whispered while stroking Leah, who was hanging on the nape of her neck.
I was trying to organize my thoughts, but Perry bit a quill and wouldn’t let me go.
Demi sat on the notebook and didn’t even move.
‘Hyung, it doesn’t hurt anymore, I’m not overdoing it. Let’s sleep together in your playroom today.’ After so much relief, I was able to get the writing instrument back.
Black letters ran swiftly across the white paper.
∙ The ‘gate’ to the house has been opened
– Cause 1: Four gods are gathered in one place and activated
– Cause 2: All four gods gather in one place and activate + Holy Chalice of Wishes
······Perhaps reason 2 is closer to the truth.
I pondered the scene I saw that day frame by frame.
– Whoops!
First of all, the four spirits, including perseverance, radiated light.
Then each shot a straight beam like a laser pointer towards the center of the sky.
After a while, I had an abnormal reaction.
‘Thump!’
My heart was beating loudly once,
‘Huh!’
It was difficult to breathe and at the same time I felt very ominous.
The feeling of the whole world rejecting me constantly pressed down on my peripheral nerves.
The last thing I saw was the sight of ether bursting out of me and drawing a straight line into the air.
When he woke up, he was spitting blood, and there was already a hole in the sky. then······.
– Hey!
“sorry. My brother held me too tight. hurt a lot? I’m really sorry.”
I woke up from the reminiscence in awe at Leah’s cry. palms were wet.
The red panda held tightly to me opened its mouth in amazement.
I apologized quickly and patted her on the back, and he said that I was going to die, so I lay flat next to Tite.
The powerless temporary protector was only diligently rubbing the black belly and giving him a ‘ho’.
With the other hand, he continued to write on the notebook.
– Gate opening principle (guess): 4 gods reach the sky > Something happens > Holy Communion is activated > Grants wish to go home
“······· Is plausible? It looks fine.”
I mumbled
If that’s all right, the ‘What Happened’ part was especially important and mysterious.
Up until now, the sanctuary in my body has been quiet.
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, it provided me with a lot of incredibly clean pure ether, and maybe it was because of the gods that my holy land was bigger than the other archbishops, but that was it.
He never responded directly to my wishes or my heart.
uhm. If you use your imagination.
“The other four new things laid some kind of board. So, the gentle sanctuary was activated. But after that, there was no ether.”
– Kururu
Me and Demi looked at each other and tilted their heads.
“Did you use up all your energy to open the gate?”
– Cuddly?
no······. It seemed unlikely.
It was the power of the Holy Grail that gave Prince Jesse a second chance, that is, planting me back in time, who had died in the first place. At least that was my guess.
If the sickness had been disposable, I would not have been able to carry so much ether. I would have just left it alive.
Besides, Kristel, who had a sick body like me, didn’t lose any strength.
I frowned as I chewed the pickled orange peel like squid legs.
So is it really a sequel? when are you getting better?
– Beep, beep, beep
Then, after an afternoon walk, Dukshim landed on the railing of the terrace.
I flinched as I tried to say hello to the wren.
“Cheer up, come here. What did you ask?”
I saw a flash of light next to his two little feet.
I was afraid that I might have stolen even the jewels of the emperor or the guests of the imperial palace!
-beep
“Don’t look back, bring it. one.”
– beep
“two.”
-Pirr
“Two and a half.”
– Beep!
He looked back at me as if he couldn’t win with courage, then asked for a piece of gold the size of his own body and spat it out in front of me.
And with a very dissatisfying flapping of its wings, she climbed onto Tite’s back.
Well, will you get excited and go for a drive?
“What are you going to do with your beak? huh? Who taught you this?”
– beep
“If that’s the case, you can’t even tell others that you’re Mr. Jeong’s wren. I am ashamed.”
I looked carefully at the glitter brought by courage. What kind of badge is this?
Liester imperial coat of arms in the middle, crazy.
“Courageousness, this is you…”
I frowned as I looked at the thoughtful cluster of innocent eyes.
I hurriedly put the jars down on the table, approached the railing and stretched out my waist.
A familiar silhouette appeared across the garden.
Wherever the ceremony was held, a man dressed in a formal robe and even a splendid cloak was standing with the attendant.
Seeing that one chest was empty, it seemed that courage stole the badge from there. His orange eyes were entangled like a skein of thread.
“·················ogue.”
The prince didn’t even come this way or even give me a glance.
Then, as if he had not seen anything, he went straight to Romero Palace.
It was a complete disregard.
“I should apologize.”
I murmured.
I want to apologize properly for hurting him, but it seemed difficult to even create a chance right now.
*
“You can give me some letters, Sedric.”
Elizabeth complained.
Eva, who sat close to her, had a restless expression the whole time.
It wasn’t just the two of them who had dark faces.
To the right of Cedric, who was seated at the top, Kristel’s blue-grey eyes shone sharply.
“I understand confinement for protection. Your Majesty did the same when Crown Princess Elissa arrived, and the Prince… It’s the most helpless situation right now.”
“·················ogue.”
Her voice became small.
Despite Cardinal Boutier’s previous message, Kristel was deeply disappointed as soon as she entered the Imperial Palace.
Even though he came to Romero’s Palace, which is a short distance from Juliet, he could not feel the warm and clear ether of the prince.
There was really no trace of it, like a bad trick or some kind of magic trick.
The paladin instinct was naturally frustrated and sad.
But that was it and this was this.
Prince Jesse was a friend before being her partner.
“But I don’t know why you blocked letters and gifts. Why are you doing this?”
“There is no need to discuss the will of the imperial family.”
The father growled.
Then his ether ran wild and began to threaten and intimidate Kristel.
While barely withstanding his hot provocations, she wrote an arrogance. It was strange.
The Prince was clearly overreacting and this was not the case.
No matter how many full moons he received, he didn’t receive the Prince’s ether…
“After all, what happened that day?”
Kristel tilted her head and looked at the prince’s face.
She also had something she saw when she regained consciousness briefly in the middle.
But it was so fleeting that it was impossible to tell whether it was vain or true. So I was more concerned.
For some reason, I felt a bit nauseous.
I wondered if he had seen what he had seen, his mate or his mate’s mate.
Beyond the black hole, the veranda of a house that looks like Korea.
