Temple of the Border (4)
After coming to the Temple of the Boundary, Elither’s head was very busy.
While taking care of state affairs in a distant land, he worried about the safety of his family and the country from time to time.
Since Roséharder’s royal family and himself went abroad, the roles of fathers and other nobles in the country were important.
Friction with the Empire had entered a lull, but there were a lot of things that needed to be looked at carefully.
In the spring, healthy seedlings had to be distributed throughout the country, and epidemics that circulated every day had to be controlled.
There must have been a lot of ships coming into the East Sea by now.
We have to send troops to clear the pirates too…
-aaa
“The ether flow is stable. The bowl is also healthy. However, it is in the early stages of awakening, so you should watch it carefully for the time being, and it is better not to bring in unfamiliar priests or paladins nearby.”
Said the Vatican Healing Priest, standing at the bedside.
Earlier, the healing priests of the Penetian Royal Palace made the same diagnosis.
However, Werner distorted the pretty face that was called Geumsichomun.
‘Our dandelion, our dandelion.’
Elisha took turns looking at his father and his youngest brother.
At first, I was shocked by the way he came to Yeh without any communication.
My blood cooled and my stomach boiled, wondering if I could be so irresponsible. By the way-
‘Princess, look at our youngest child. It seems that the child has an etheric awakening!’
My father’s voice was trembling.
His messy hair and red-tinted eyes didn’t look like that at all.
It was unfamiliar to see the youngest in a hurry.
Standing on the stairs of the temple, he vomited his story like crazy.
‘I want to see my sister… I said that before I fell.’
‘··········.’
‘There is no way that if there is a hundred etheric awakenings, there is no way that one will succeed. So I ran to meet my eldest daughter in a month.’
‘father.’
‘If it’s a country thing, don’t worry, Crown Princess. It was entrusted to the Duke of Sneijder and the court nobles. Penetians are hardy. Even if your father doesn’t believe you, can’t you believe in a system that has lasted for a thousand years?’
He spoke very quickly. At first glance, it was mixed with crying, and it was a pleading fight.
There was no resentment towards the eldest daughter who did not trust herself and did not hand over the national seal.
Elissa rushed out of the temple and tried to organize her thoughts.
In short, the reason my father came here was not to interfere with the talks between the two countries, nor to demand the return of the national seal.
He is just…
‘But I don’t know what will happen to Cornelisser. If you fail to awaken like this,’
‘No way.’
Elisha answered with a single sword. She embraced the youngest with a calm hand.
All paladins gain true power through etheric awakening, but there were some who could not withstand this process and died.
The Crown Princess kissed her brother’s forehead and closed her eyes. The young body was damp and cold.
But to her, it was the warmest and most pleasant water in the world.
Her soft ivory hair and floury cheeks were the same as the day they broke up.
Aminth. lovely child. The only blood that supports her.
‘Please, please stay with my two daughters.’
Berner pleaded. Elisha suddenly opened her eyes. And I was astonished.
My father was kneeling at his feet and praying.
‘father!’
‘please! Don’t you know what that child means to me!’
‘Get up. Even the Pope’s officials are watching, how are you doing this!’
‘I will not tell anyone that my father is here. I don’t want any special treats! I have no intention of meddling in talks or agreements. I’ll be dead. So until the child wakes up!’
Tears fell from his left eye. His blood-stained lips were trembling.
My heart was pounding. The line of Vatican soldiers bowed their heads deeply.
as if he didn’t see anything.
‘Please don’t send me back to the castle until it’s confirmed that I’m healthy. please······!’
‘Abama!’
Guk-seo clasped her ankles while holding them.
Embarrassed Elither called his father by his childhood name, but he did not move.
The Crown Princess never allowed her father to return home.
Until Cornelissa gets up and sees the spoon being lifted by herself… He said he would stay in the temple.
As long as the youngest knew what kind of existence he was, he could not be harsh any longer.
Elissa resolutely put up with the nausea.
Knowing what his father had done to Jesse and what he had done to the new country, he hated himself for having to do this.
But at the same time, he was pitiful.
It was a pity that I was alone enough to rely on my heart to an eight-year-old who knew nothing.
Because even the eldest daughter did not give her a side.
“······father.”
“Yes.”
“Did you have dinner.”
He was horrified by his duality.
While I am relieved to feel Jesse’s ether spread through the temple, I lose my composure when I see my father.
He devises a plan to save his younger brother, and at the same time sympathizes with his six parents who are trying to kill the child.
How can a woman who is the crown prince of a country be so weak and ridiculous?
Is it not you who is broken somewhere?
How long can a mere human be able to engage in such a tug of war?
It would be nice if I could just throw out one side.
“The pea soup was delicious.”
He replied with a shattered smile.
His hands wiping his wet body with a dry towel were all kind.
Elissa frowned.
“·················ogue.”
He didn’t like his subconscious for having had terrible thoughts, and he didn’t like his father’s answer either.
I was even more angry when I was worried about whether I would be able to eat with soup or something.
It was only because of her father that she came to the desert.
It was because he pretended to be sick and deceived everyone and disturbed the situation.
Maybe even that attitude is acting.
However, it was true that Cornelissa did not wake up, and that the child had awakened from the ether.
It was also true that someone close to me had to protect me instead of me with the fire attribute.
At last she just said this.
“Do not leave the room.”
“I will. I need to change the sheet. Get ready.”
Werner didn’t mind the cold words and held his younger daughter in his arms.
At the same time, the plan was busy. The attendants rolled the bed curtains and carried new towels and rugs.
The Crown Princess left the room silently watching them. Touk, todd, tock…
She did not look back until the determined footsteps had completely disappeared.
“When did you say you would meet?”
Werner, who saw him, asked in a tone that seemed to be extinguished. The general manager immediately responded.
“It’s called tomorrow evening. But…”
“Say it.”
“The dinner is not being prepared. There was no command from the Chief Executive in this regard. Presumably, we will meet right in front of the Holy Sepulcher.”
“·················ogue.”
The old clothes were muffled. A shadow fell on the corner of Guk-seo’s eyes.

Obviously, the commander-in-chief made such a suggestion.
They gathered at the shrine at the end of the underground labyrinth and promised to make peace with the gods watching.
It was an absurd sound, but Elisha was serious.
Seeing that the filthy illegitimate child lured and brought even the prince, the Empire seemed to take it seriously.
Werner shook his head busily.
“If you want to go through the maze, you have to survive the guardian spirit.”
“I heard that. But, Your Majesty…”
“There is no next time for me.”
His voice cracked. The servant bent his back. Guk-seo was well aware.
My sister was ready to throw me away at any time, and Elisha finally fully embraced the national seal.
There would be no nobles to protect him in such a situation.
The man was more certain than anyone that their lover was my gorgeous appearance.
So this trip was the last chance Cornelisser gave me.
He trembled as he embraced his daughter.
“…this time it will all be over.”
I will do it without borrowing anyone’s hand.
He will be set free forever from the beings who tortured and imprisoned him for nearly thirty years.
Even if it was close to impossible.

So tomorrow evening, an appointment was made to meet Elissa in the underground maze.
Commissioner Ronald Ruppert agreed to mediate.
He wanted us to talk straight in front of the gods and promised peace.
The other clutter did not present anything.
It was so quick that I wondered if it would be okay.
‘Because he always puts the body first.’
‘okay.’
Sir John explained.
‘You don’t want to consider the possibility that things will go awry or the conversation will go out of line if you create another seat.’
Contrary to his soft voice, contempt occasionally flashed in his eyes as he referred to the commander-in-chief.
I felt bad because I thought I had suffered a lot here.
‘The Vicar General will do anything to keep the Vatican as it is today. I’m very obsessed with a state that doesn’t get better than it is now, but doesn’t get worse.’
I frowned as I listened to him. It was strange.
‘why······. Would you? His power could do more. The desert robbers and private management issues, and the security of the village will be much better than it is now.’
‘I do not know. Is it because he thinks he is a deacon and not a leader?’
The cardinal replied with a smile.
‘butler’. A person who manages his house while the Pope is absent.
If you thought of yourself that way, you wouldn’t be able to understand what you’ve been doing until now.
The commander-in-chief did not speak politically at all, and stood by with the guise of neutrality no matter what happened between the two countries.
Focused on saving money, even the people of the Neutral Zone were neglected.
Should we see it as a way of survival for the Holy See in an era without the Pope?
But I thought that if it were me, we wouldn’t have done this.
We must talk tomorrow. In particular, I would strongly recommend the village of Chaum and its ruins.
“Prince. Are you deliberately releasing the ether?”
ah?
“Ah yes. I want the Crown Princess to know that I am safe. Are you uncomfortable?”
I asked, straightening my pose.
We were just enjoying a deep rest after a long time.
I was emitting ether to my heart’s content so that Elissa somewhere in the temple could detect it.
Have you bruised for too long?
“Is it possible? I liked it so I asked. It’s like I’ve dissolved a bath agent in the air!”
Kristel, lying on the long sofa, on Isabelle’s lap, groaned.
I was embarrassed, so I only fiddled with Master’s growth.
I looked around to see if the other paladins had similar feelings, but Sir John had the same expression as usual, and Prince Sedric was reading. Then yes.
Hanan, who was sitting next to the prince, stretched out his arms.
– Demi, come and ride me.
– What?
-okay. It’s a fuss when you’re young.
Then the red panda walked over and put the rag doll on its back.
If I had a phone, I would have taken a video, but it was a pity. I was fed up and stretched.

On the other side of the courtyard, the Viscount and his wife were enjoying tea time.
“Ugh.”
The space given by the general manager was large and spacious, and it felt empty even though everyone was in the living room.
It was rather cool, so I didn’t even need Kristel’s ice rings.
The workers of the Rambouye caravan also said they were resting comfortably in the Vatican dormitory.
Expensive fodder and special food were provided to the suffering camels and horses.
A little while ago, we all had a look around the stables, but fortunately, it wasn’t as barren or bizarre as the inside of the temple.
Since it is an ordinary barn, the animals quickly adapted to it.
– ooh
“this? cane?”
– woong
“yes. If possible, I would like to be recognized before Hwangung, but I don’t know how.”
I talked to Tite, who is curious about growth.
I still don’t know the language of the gods, but I did my best.
I kidnapped a precious son and ran away from home, so I want to show my grown-up to Master when I go back.
Perfect as the master of growth! I’d love to get a score.
After emitting light from the ruins, the staff was silent the whole time.
I smiled awkwardly as I looked at the black crescent moon.
Tite rejoiced as she licked the stick with her fins and wiggled her beard.
“If you use this well, you will have more fun playing with Tite.”
– Aeuk!
“I will try my best. It will not be easy because it is a task given by His Majesty.”
– Oh my!
-Take it to the maze.
Then, Hanan suddenly spoke.
She came off Demi’s back and strode closer to her with a nice movement.
It takes a long time to walk 30cm, hahaha.
“Are you talking about the underground maze?”
-okay.
The king raised his head and said. Then everyone’s eyes turned to her.
He has great charisma too.
“Is it because of the guardian spirit of the maze?”
I asked carefully.
Regarding ‘Guardian Spirit’, Lord Johan didn’t have much to say.
Because it was never possible to enter the maze. He just said there were rumors.
The ghosts guarding it are very old…
“It is said that if an intruder harbors malice, it eats the soul. He has the appearance of a terrible monster.”
– tt! You’re just talking nonsense.
pissed off at an adult I was a little weary and waited for the next word.
The king waved the veil and declared in a low-pitched voice.
– Didn’t you make your staff the root of the temple? It will definitely help.
Hope the spirit eats Werner then 😀
