The last king of the millennial kingdom! (7)
Hanan Lumayyan told us a story from a long time ago.
It was a time when she was alive.
It was a time when the homeland Unio was pulsating as the only country on the continent.
It was a memory of a thousand years that was buried in the sand and swept away by the wind.
-·········· Yuri Penetian was Jim’s marquis. He was an ambitious cardinal. He was admired by all as an oriental old man who had excellent drive and performance.
A heavy voice came out.
Under the eye makeup that was densely painted up to the temples, colorful eyes were immersed in the past.
The woman’s large body fluttered like a calm lake.
The cloth wrapped around his head stretched out in all directions, like fingertips of the past.
The gold and silver treasures visible through the soul body sparkled like the Milky Way and adorned the king without rest.
Candles flickered in the distance, and the demons listened to her politely.
– This body also trusted and respected Yuri. Even after taking the throne, I learned a lot from him as an elder. Although he was often harsh with his subordinates, I thought he was just doing it to keep the palace in order. But…
Yuri Penetian said that she had a much deeper darkness than she had expected.
He was well aware that he must have seen a lot of bad things in his life, who was close to seventy.
Since he was serving as prime minister, overtaking the Duke of Lister, who had a close relationship with the royal family, he said it all.
However, it turned out that the Marquis had very dangerous beliefs.
No, the word ‘danger’ was not enough.
-Simply put, he believed that the number one in the political world and the first in the religious world should be the same. I thought the Pope should rule the continent.
I glanced back at Marion.
The child sitting next to Sir John nodded towards me.
That was the beginning of the Unio split.
-I don’t know what it’s like to believe that the continent was divided into two, but at that time, the Pope and Jim had similar positions. Some people followed the Pope even more. However, this body was different.
Hanan was a very progressive person by the standards of the time.
It is said that the Rumayyan royal family itself started from a noble family of ethnic minority origin.
She believed that the papal authority would weaken over time.
It was a world where the Lord did not reveal the reality.
There was a limit to the way religion could provide relief to the people, so it was believed that the rulers of the world should take care of the country and make up for what was lacking.
Above all, he believed that in order for a country to become prosperous, power must be gathered in one place.
It was a time when religion was far more absolute than it is now, so it was a foresight indeed.
-People are not fools, nor livestock. How long could the system of the Vatican impose a religious tax and the king once again impose a national tax? Maybe it’s still not like that?
“The Pope is not present. And Lister has no religious tax.”
I did not drink water and answered coldly. As a marquise, I did a little tax study.
Ironically, I don’t know about Penetian’s situation.
“Penetians are subject to a religious tax. However, there is a difference that it goes to the national treasury.”
Instead, Sir John explained.
Hanan clenched his tongue and asked the Pope why he was absent.
This time the prince opened his mouth bluntly. ‘The Lord has not prepared it.’
Then the commanders roared in surprise. The king blinked with a puzzled face.
‘It’s the same in the wicked world!’ Such groanings came back.
-So······. Sinabro’s conflict grew sharper. Yuri began to blatantly gather power. It was not difficult because he was a cardinal from a strong family. But this body was different. As a kid who had been crowned for two years, the only one who truly believed in Jim’s political philosophy was Duke Lazar Lister.
A de facto rebellion was being prepared. A shadow fell on the deep corners of his eyes.
Duke Lister was a famous swordmaster and a swordsman of the royal family, and he was raised as a knight regardless of ethnicity.
If his skills were outstanding, he did not discriminate between nobles and commoners.
In short, he was an outsider in the political world of Unio.
Everyone was skeptical about being wealthy and powerful, but that was all.
He said he was a person who could not be the center of power.
– To have the Pope as the sole monarch meant that only the priests and paladins who followed him could take power. However, priests are usually born into noble families. No, I think the causal relationship has changed. Only families that consistently produced priests became nobles.
“That sounds like a bit of a beggar.”
Joan, who was chewing the jerky, said abruptly.
I wondered if it was too profane, but surprisingly, Hanan was not offended.
She looked down at the painter, fed up.
When I smiled, my impression became so soft that I felt dazed for a moment.
-Yeah, ‘like a beggar.’ I thought that even families without clergy should have a voice. There were many such families, especially among ethnic minorities. Wizard, swordsman, poet, painter. They are proficient in civil engineering and construction.
‘Theologians and scientists. Inventor and fortune teller. alchemist!’ The king’s eyes gleamed.
Her gaze became faint as if drawing a distant star.
I wasn’t even close to her, but I could be sure.
Hanan loved her country deeply and was a clear leader in her dream paradise.
“Then why did Marquis Penetian only like priests? Because you’re a cardinal, Your Majesty? Were you greedy?”
‘Theologian’ Marion asked a small question like a sparrow.
Although he was trembling, he was a brave and smart child.
Sir John smiled low and put a blanket around the child’s shoulder.
The king looked at the girl for a moment, then gave a soft answer.
-Looking back… Yuri thought that was reasonable. I believed that the king should bear the country, but he wanted a composition centered on the pope. It was definitely the easier way. The people’s respect for the clergy was naturally earned. I didn’t have to try to get support or listen to them.
‘Lazar said he was an old man like a snake, but that was his judgment based on his own age.’ She spit out the sentence like a sigh.
The long years of anger faded to black and white, and the woman could count on the old man on the other side, whom she could not comprehend.
The demons looked at her and shrugged.
For a while, a heavy silence lingered in the tomb. It was Sant who spoke carefully.
“that······. I heard that our ancestors betrayed and betrayed His Majesty. But, there. It’s a disgraceful statement, but our history books don’t teach that. It’s crazy.”
The priest curled his round back.
‘I’m the youngest, and I’ve never had any further education at home.’ It was a creeping voice.
-······under.
Then the king laughed. His expression hardened like a stone in an instant.
She looked up at the ceiling without saying a word, took several deep breaths and—
– Whoa!
“Huh!”
“Aww!”
It emitted a fierce wave! We were thrown out with no time to prepare.
I wrapped myself around Demi and Tite in my arms like a daughter-in-law.
My eyes fluttered shut at the sensation of being blown away. The interior of the tomb was covered with solid columns and stone walls.
Please keep your head intact, please!
– Fluffy! Whoops, whoops! Chalgrang!
“Ouch!”
“Ouch.”
“Mom!”
– Put it on!
·······It didn’t hurt as much as I thought! I slowly closed my eyes.
I was surprised, but it was only about lightly rolling the hill of gold coins.
The floor was softer than expected, probably because there was something like a burial hidden underneath.
The other gods, friends, and Marion were also fine.
The prince sitting next to him was turning his wrists. It seems he fell by the fall.
-paper windmill······! paper windmill······!
The spirits shouted grimly and pointed to Sir John. All eyes were wide open.
I smiled and shook my head at the cardinal.
The man also returned the playful silence.
Yes, we were safe with his power.
– Haha, whoa… Mateis Els Roseharder is…
‘It was Jim’s friend.’ Hanan, who burst into wrath, declared hard. it was past tense
The two have been friends since they were four years old.
They studied together at the Temple of the Boundary, and they were always together.
The combination of a princess who likes to fight and a cowardly noble who only digs into books was surprising to everyone.
However, Hanan liked the person who encouraged me by saying, ‘It’s okay, it’s cool’ even when he sees my weakness.
Mateis regarded Hanan as his only close friend, who took him here and there, who only liked writing.
The two grew up to become kings and popes.
-Purple smoke rose from the temple chimney, and his name came to mind on the sanctuary. Even Count Roséharder was surprised to hear that his son had become Pope. To be precise, all the people of Unio were astonished. Because he wasn’t even a cardinal. This body was the only thing that was dull.
‘I always thought he was the Pope.’ The woman’s voice seemed to go out.
The wavy hem of his clothes was also quiet. We listened, forgetting to breathe.
-When my anger was beginning to show, I turned to Mateis for help. Because I know he agrees with me.
“But did you refuse?”
Joan asked bluntly. The expression on his face was already pissed off by Matthews. The immersion was great.
– No, I made a promise. As a king, as a friend, as an equal leader… I will always respect this body. Those who have not received the power of the Lord must not be cast out of His bosom. He sounded so flashy. So Jim committed the sin of being careless.
Having said that, she rested one beat. The story ended terribly succinctly.
-On the day the Penetian forces attacked the palace, an ultimatum with the seal of the Pope flew.
“·················ogue.”
-I denied reality. Even as I watched the bloodied servants and knights dying next to me, I believed that this was not the will of Mateis. I cried out to see him face to face, and fought by destroying all palaces and cities. But he didn’t even step out of the temple. I······.
‘Until I die here.’
she whispered That was the end. Hanan put her eyelids down and closed her mouth.
The spirits leaned against each other and barely controlled their souls. We fell into silence.
I don’t know what to say to comfort her, whether it’s really comforting, or whether she wants it.
Not knowing anything, I dared not take my lips off of it.
At that moment, Perry pulled his nose out of Sant’s arms.
Then he cried out to the king!
– Kiying!
Gosh! I took a deep breath and bit my lips. The woman stared at the gods silently.
The priest looked at her and didn’t know what to do, and he hesitated and opened his mouth.
“sorry. I’m sorry about this, too.”
-·········.
“I, I am still ignorant. I don’t know why he made that decision, or why he betrayed His Majesty. So, I hate to say this, and you may be offended. However······. But it is true that my forefathers inflicted great wounds on Your Majesty. You must have suffered while reflecting on it for a thousand years.”
-·········.
“But as a descendant of his, I have enjoyed many and many privileges. So, in the place where I have to apologize… I think there is.”
-·········.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
Sant bowed his head and bowed. Perry also lowered her tail to the mound.
A short sigh escaped from above.
As if we had promised, we lowered our eyes and waited for Hanan’s answer.
The longer the silence, the more anxious and anxious I felt.
I wish she would accept the apology, but since I’ve been locked up in her grave for so long—
-······ Next, I will make two wishes. Remember, your children, so that you do not ask questions.
“uh?”
I lifted my head in annoyance. Joan was on the verge of falling out of his jaw.
I couldn’t believe the king’s reaction.
Perhaps the same was true of the spirits who were shocked, so those who looked like knights rushed to their knees and knelt in front of Hanan.
He looked up at her eagerly and cried.
– aaa
– Your Majesty, Your Majesty! How easy!
-Vengeance, revenge, revenge…!
Red souls shook and spread like tears of blood.
Those who forgot a lot could not even come up with a proper sentence.
Hanan quietly raised her arms full of ornaments.
The son-in-law instantly became quiet.
-Jim wants your rest.
-·········.
-I know that I haven’t been able to rest because of my remorse. Was there any joy in the time spent wandering the desert entangled in the past and living as a sleepless soul? Have you ever felt the joy of being alive?
-·········.
– It would be unfortunate if I didn’t resent this body.
– Ah, no, no!
– Don’t send it. don’t send Don’t send it…!
The demons screamed.
He fell at the king’s feet, weeping without tears, and screaming as he hung from the hem of his robe.
It was a heartbreaking sight to watch.
But Hanan looked down at only us with an upright posture. There was not even an inch of trembling in his tightly closed chin and straight eyes.
I looked at her and thought.
This man must have been a good monarch even in his lifetime. It must have been very much loved.
– So I won’t miss this opportunity. I will bring you into peace and free you from your terrible bondage.
“Say it. I will serve.”
So, without hesitation, I received it. I wanted to listen.
As long as we can do anything, as long as it doesn’t hurt someone, we’re happy.
-All souls wandering in the desert are those who have served me. So tell those in power to set up monuments in various places so that they can rest, and have prayers engraved on them. Also, have a priest above the archbishop administer the sacraments to soothe the soul. Then you will be able to send it to the Lord.
“I will take your name.”
I politely set an example. Friends also prayed together.
The voices of the demons continued to flow. The king continued without agitation.
-I also want a living body. The deeper the faith, the better.
“Yes. Yes?”
I was horrified and gave a beep!
