074 It’s All About Me (4)
[The thing about being ravenous is…]
“It is literally. Ask for ether often, and ask for too much at once. It’s difficult mate… When I said that I couldn’t do it any more, the princess said, ‘Why can’t this be done? huh······.”
Sant eventually buried his face in my handkerchief. I couldn’t find anything to say, so I closed my eyes for a moment.
So, it was said that Kristel and Prince Sedric were harassing a young priest-level priest by rolling it rough like a common charger.
I couldn’t believe it.
Even if you are serious, did you make such a proud face when you meet at the palace?
[That, um. Have you spoken to His Majesty Cardinal Boutier?]
It wasn’t until after asking the question that I realized that I had made a mistake.

Of course, Sant wouldn’t have said it.
Cardinals are called ‘Princesses or Princes of the Faith’ and are the rulers of the Holy See, but before that, Aurelie Butier was the prince’s godmother and the emperor’s partner.
Leaving aside the vast difference in status between a priest and a cardinal, Sant would not have been able to go to her and say, ‘Your father-in-law is a personality breaker.’
“Huh, how am I…”
Sant’s eyebrows drooped and he looked at me.
I patted him on the shoulder in apologetic heart.
[I understand. But did Sir Haynes just look at it?]
I asked. Sir Johann Haines was the paladin teacher for two men and women.
If they were acting undesirably as a paladin, he was the one who should take the lead in correcting it more than anyone else.
Paladins and priests were an equal cooperative relationship, not a structure in which one exploited the other.
“Hey, Sir Haynes is in class…. Not very faithful . . .”
Sant quickly lowered his gaze and ruffled his tail.
In an instant, the conversation I had with Canael in the drawing room of the Juliet Palace flashed through my mind.
‘It’ll be fine because it’s Dalian. And there’s a teacher from the Holy See. He’ll figure it out.’
‘I thought so too at first, but I don’t think he can handle it.’
The situation was quickly pictured in front of my eyes. I spoke out of hope.
At this point, I really didn’t think anyone should come in, so I turned off the oracle and lowered the sound.
“Then you two only fight every day, extract the necessary ether from the priest, and Sir Haines just watches over it?”
“Okay, yes…”
Sant snorted and replied softly. The impression was frowned upon.
I couldn’t understand why nothing had been said until now while teaching that way.
“I have never heard of such a rumor in the Imperial Palace. Didn’t the Duke or Princess raise any objections?”
“Sir Haines and I have not been here for a long time . . . When the time is right, I will not teach you in a difficult way. And for some reason, it seems like you two are enjoying the match.”
The priest, who seems to be in his 20s now, tilted his head and took a picture of his eyes with a handkerchief.
I barely swallowed a sigh that burst out of me.
I don’t know what Sir Haynes was thinking, but they shouldn’t have been left alone.
As a person in the same occupation, it was uncomfortable for a priest to be treated like this.
“Ah, Prince… Why did I come to confession? That’s because I want to run away. Last night, I secretly packed my things.あ. I know it shouldn’t be like that…”
Sant turned the topic to be faithful to the sacraments.
I quietly shook my head and listened to his story.
But he couldn’t stop the turmoil from coming.
If I had lived with my ears closed forever, it was difficult to pretend I didn’t see it when I knew it.
There seemed to be a limit to ignoring that it was only me and that it was not my business.

After taking Prince Jesse to the makeshift confession, Cristel de Sarnez wandered around the palace without a clear destination.
It would be fun to chat with his attendants, but today, he wanted to get some fresh air.
That is why I turned to the small forest behind the detached palace.
Having left the servant who accompanied her from the duke’s family in the counties of Mutte, she felt more free than ever.
The clear and warm ether of the prince seemed to hover around him.
Perhaps that was the reason.
He didn’t notice sooner that Cedric Lister was sitting in the pavilion he was heading towards.
“I see you, Duke Evelynn.”
“·················ogue.”
Kristel was rarely embarrassed in front of him, but he bowed noblely without showing off.
The young duke, as usual, was greeted only with a glance.
He was a man who updated the highest price of face value whenever he met.
It seemed that he had brought the documents he was looking at in the office and was reviewing it outdoors.
He seemed to need a change of mood just like me.
Reluctantly, she turned to the pavilion on the other side.
The two were not the ones who pressed their ether in order to be considerate of each other.
‘Why am I not doing it over there?’ It was the feeling of
So avoiding each other outside of class was good for peacekeeping.
It’s been a while since I heard the emperor’s rebuke, but I couldn’t get into an accident again.
“ah.”
I wish there was a long sofa in that pavilion too, let’s take a nap.
With such thoughts in mind, Kristel stopped walking.
It was because I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Prince Jesse earlier.
She slowly turned her head to look at the peacock.
The handsome face holding the paper looked very serious.
He had no hobbies to disturb the working people, but today was a special day for the prince.
Her curiosity also surged.
“Sir, have you forgotten that today is Prince Jesse’s birthday?”
There was no malice like a grain of rice in his sweet voice.
But the duke ignored her words as if it was natural. Ugh, you ignorant bastard.
‘Ham Ga-in’ turned around again, swearing only inwardly.
The vulgar sound was swallowed well, but in the end, a part of her temper came out with the tip of her tongue.
“Then you may be hated.”
This time, it was a little bittersweet. Naturally, Prince Jesse would not hate the Duke.
He was kind by nature and was weak against animals and children.
The duke is usually a beast, and if he lacks ether, he can turn into a kid, so it was clear that the day would not come when the prince would treat him seriously.
But Kristel wanted to say a word to that little guy.
Even though it was childish, I couldn’t help it. that was her
“You have found a weakness, so there is no need for conciliation.”
I was about to leave my seat before I got any more upset, but the man gave me a strange answer.
No, to be precise, it sounded strange only to Kristel’s ears.
The peacock’s face turned back to the usual expressionless expression.
“Are you saying that you have captured the prince’s weakness?”
“·················ogue.”
The duke turned his gaze to the documents that he had nothing to add.
Kristel got excited and put her words on her head.
“You don’t think you can control people with that, do you?”
“I can subdue it.”
wow, shit. Look at this bastard child.
Kristel quickly tugged at her feet and sat down on the sofa opposite the Duke.
Cedric frowned at the rude behavior, but ignored it like a flowing stream.
“Didn’t you believe in the prince? Wasn’t it pretty good during the Great Beast Subjugation? So did I.”
I hate to admit it, but it was fun. She, the duke and the prince got along pretty well.
Thanks to the prince’s ether, he was always in good shape.
“I don’t know what that has to do with it.”
Kristel slapped it hard.
This was her reaction when she saw something and decided that it was ‘no answer’.
In other words, the duke believes in the prince, but he thinks of some way to get him.
To be honest, I wanted to leave the duke as it is.
He and the prince maintained a friendly relationship, and the duke seemed to take care of the prince’s disappointment.
However······.
‘Really, the ark of Biryeom. Doesn’t it resemble the ring I gave you at the night market last time?’
‘It seems like it was still in the form of wings. I’ll go to my room and check it out.’
‘Did you bring it all the way here?’
‘It was attached to the handle of the suitcase.’
Prince Jesse was the one who kept even the cheap decorations he had won at the ‘dagger throwing contest’.
To a man who grew up as a prince, that would be nothing, but he was surprisingly easygoing and kind.
Kristel didn’t think it was right for such a person to be hurt by someone’s clumsiness and immaturity.
That was it.
“Listen, my lord. I’m only going to explain it to you once.”
“What?”
Kristel snorted.
Even though he was a guy who didn’t even have ink on his family register, he didn’t know that he had to teach him how to make friends.
“The prince is a man. Also a very nice person. You cannot win hearts that way.”
“Now to me,”
“It’s a god who was in the bell tower. Non-humans were too hard to calm down, right? It would have been a disaster without me, right? Human beings will die.”
“·················ogue.”
“The prince is a kind and communicative person. Knowing you well.”
The peacock’s orange eyes sank. Christel continued the sentence.
“You’re already a hostage. When you are threatened, you will feel nothing but anxiety and fear. In return for the prince’s favor, would you like to give me something like that?”
she ended her speech sarcastically.
“Please show your sincerity. Then we can get closer.”
Then he got up from his seat, tapping the hem of his dress once.
Today’s self seemed a bit cool.
I was proud to think that I had given a 24 year old a life lesson, and I was also frustrated because I wondered how he had grown up like that.
“Then, I will go away.”
Kristel bowed gracefully and the gun disappeared.
“·················ogue.”
The clean northern wind swept through the forest, grass, and the man’s black satin hair.
He looked down at the document in his hand for a moment.
Suddenly, the paper burned.

“Is it okay to wash? Not nice.”
– Kiying
– beep beep
I smiled and spoke to the gods.
It took me an hour and a half to bathe them and wash myself too.
Unlike Demi, who likes water, Leah and Perry had five mouths out.
His hair was bald and thin, and he was busy running around and twittering as if it wasn’t a very unpleasant experience.
I roughly fastened the waist of the gown and dried them one by one with a towel.
It was usually clean because it was a divine water, but it seemed to have gotten worse after washing.
“Perry, come here. I brushed my tail less.”
– Ki-eung
Perry pricked her black ears and ran away from me.
Leah also followed after that guy.
It’s in the north, so the air is cold at night, but you have to dry it properly to avoid getting a cold.
uh?
“Did I leave the door open?”
Now I see that the balcony door is wide open.
I left the divine beasts alone and walked over to the balcony with the curtains fluttering, and put all the locks on it.
Seeing that he never left the room, it seemed like he was sleeping with me today.
Is it a birthday special?
“What should I do tomorrow?”
I murmured.
After hearing Sant’s confession today, I thought a lot.
That was the reason why I went straight to the cardinal’s office after receiving a confession from the people of the separate palace for a couple of hours.
If Sant couldn’t speak, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to talk to him instead.
By the way,
“Prince, I am very sorry, but Your Majesty is very busy with work. If it’s okay, can you come back in a few hours? I’ll go see you myself.’
‘okay. No, I’ll see you later.’
I had such a conversation with Natalie, the cardinal’s attendant.
She was worried that the cardinal wasn’t even getting a proper meal.
Natalie, who said that, also didn’t look good.
Instead of visiting, I sent a portion of the gifted cannoli to the cardinal’s office.
She said that she did not even open her eyes to prepare for the prayer meeting next month.
To such a person, it’s a bit hard to say, ‘The children are working together to harass a precious child in another’s house, please scold me’.
– Kiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
“Why do you want to go down?”
Demi, who had just climbed onto the bedroom table, whined.
As I lifted him up with the familiar support of his stomach, he saw an unfamiliar box lying where Demi was sitting.
A small card was also enclosed next to it.
Both the boxes and cards were adorned with gold and jewels, making them dazzlingly gorgeous.
I was very embarrassed, but I calmly opened the card. The content was concise.
‘Always carry it.
-CR’
