095 Backfire (3)
[It is true that Sedric and Kristel were different from ordinary paladins from the start. It is a case where innate strength and God’s blessing are intertwined.]
Cardinal Bootier has the answer.
The imperial bishops gathered in one place listened to her with breathless breath.
[According to Sir Johann Haines, dispatched from the Pope, even if they were ordained immediately, they would be above the rank of bishops.]
You knew that too. At the cardinal’s explanation, the central temple roared.
The bishops bowed down to exchange words, and nodded or shook their heads, creating a heated atmosphere.
I alternately looked at the prince and Kristel who were sitting on either side of me.
The expression on his face reflected under the mesh was equally blunt. In that case, it’s the same again.
[Your Majesty, many of Lister’s people also know your wonders. It was because those who watched the ‘Great Subjugation of Demonic Beasts’ and the nobles who witnessed the duel between the Prince and His Majesty all praised it together. Such sacred powers should never be overshadowed by the label ‘apprenticeship’!]
Archbishop Tourcoin, who was standing up from his seat, sputtered and said bitterly.
What was the British Parliament like?
[Right!]
[I ask again!]
The cries of the bishops poured out from all corners of the nave.
According to Sir Haynes, it is expected that it will take at least one year to become a paladin.
It was made short because the two main characters are so outstanding, and I heard that it usually takes 5 to 10 years for a priest-level paladin to appear.
This was because it included training during the seed period.
[Princess Elissa of the Penetian New Kingdom became a priest-level paladin when she was only six years old. Because he was recognized for his amazing talent. It’s an insult to say that Prince Jesse is there, but did he really go through more than a year of rigorous training to become a priest? I don’t see it that way!]
An archbishop abruptly stood up and spoke, and the bishops murmured again.
More than two thousand eyes fell on me at once.
I hugged the red pandas so as not to snuggle up.
The prince and Kristel showed signs of discomfort.
That is, the Crown Princess of the neighboring country was also appointed at the age of six with her talents, but our prince and princess were saying why not.
There are precedents, so if you think that it is a compulsion, or that it is a matter of the pride of the empire, that kind of reaction was understandable.
It’s the first case, so it’s bound to be more sensitive.
“Why do people who stand still have their bites?”
Kristel muttered. I smiled a little and replied that I was fine.
[I read the petitions of the 20 archdioceses carefully. The argument was justified.]
The cardinal answered.
As if he had expected the meeting to go like this, his voice was calm as usual.
[Do you have any objections?]
The hall was as quiet as a mouse. The bishops were looking at her eagerly.
It was an atmosphere in which it was difficult to imagine the existence of an opponent. The cardinal spoke again.
[Then what about sending them to the Holy See?]
The quiet room became noisy like an explosion.

Ordaining a paladin is one of the sacraments of the Pope, so those who officially become paladins must go to the Vatican to receive the title.
However, since the death of Pope Irenner, the post has been vacant, and all paladins born afterward have been ordained with the approval of the cardinal.
Well, it’s worth reading the history books.
[It is also said to be no. Crown Princess Elissa was ordained with the blessings of the cardinals in the royal castle of the new kingdom. There is no reason for the noble prince, His Majesty, and Princess Sarnez to go this far!]
[You speak well!]
This time, a relatively young bishop spoke up.
Some bishops nodded and applauded.
At this point, it’s like a regular general meeting, not an annual prayer meeting.
[I see. Any opinions on this?]
The watery silence returned.
It was really fun to watch the cardinal become noisy and then quiet when he said something.
I smiled and looked away, and I saw a small beckoning doll in front of the Shinsa seat.
“…Eva?”
I rolled my eyes.
Wearing a large bishop’s crown, a girl buried in heavy uniforms was grinning toward this side.
Turns out, Eva was also a newly ordained bishop.
Most of the bishops appear to be in their forties or older, and it was sad and strange to see a child who was only 16 now sitting in the crevice.
I shook hands with Kristel.
They said that the letter I wrote to my parents was sent properly. I hope it turns out well
[The Archbishop of Castex!]
The chairman called out loudly. It seems that we have moved on to the second question.
“It seems to have worked out well.”
I whispered to the prince. A low-pitched answer came back.
“You’re asking the Pope to send a cardinal.”
That’s how it happened too. I shook my head.
Today’s paladin was judged by three cardinals, and if at least two of them agreed, they would be ordained.
Until now, there was only one Cardinal Bootier in the Empire, but it was strange that three would come.
There seemed to be no harshness in the narrative of the main characters.
[What is your position, Cardinal, with respect to some point out that His Majesty the Prince and Princess Sarnez do not have a fixed priesthood partner yet?]
Finally, the most important question has come.
Around that time, some of the attendants brought us drinks and snacks.
He seemed to be conscious of the lengthy meeting.
“What do you have? I can’t see well.”
“Drink is two minutes coffee and my rooibos. Snacks…”
It’s a bit hard to explain in words, so I apologized and lifted Christel’s veil to show Cousin de Lyon and Crustard.
Kristel was hungry, so she grabbed a hot roasted goose meat crust.
Then he walks through the prince’s net and chooses something to eat.
[Prince Jesse is not a Penetian. Although assistance is possible, I think it is difficult to work as a permanent partner.]
“Girl.”
A bishop argued that Kristel took a large bite of the bread and shot it.
I smiled bitterly and met the prince’s gaze.
His orange eyes were as dark as sunspots. This guy has a dangerous look.
“Eat candy, candy.”
I said comfortingly.
As if he had intended to do so, the prince picked up two or three Cousin de Lyons and poured them straight into his mouth.
The crackling sound was harsh. I lowered the mesh and added.
“Then the corn comes out. Look out.”
I thought it would be a bit sad if Ropan Namjoo had an implant.
[The relationship between a paladin and a priest is very special. Even if you don’t have to make a covenant. No one in the Empire knows the story of Prince Jesse’s special friendship with the two of them, but relying on ether on the prince can lead to national security problems.]
“He carefully wraps up what he wants to say.”
A laugh flowed out at Kristel’s quick glance.
I whispered to her as she drank an iced Americano.
“Still, it is true for me. Having a pawn as a mate is going to cause political trouble.”

Of course, not all the bishops gathered here were talking about patriotism.
Many of them must have thought that they would get involved with the prince or Christel and try to get a share.
The Lister Episcopal Conference is primarily a huge power group.
“Then how about the prince?”
“yes?”
“No external problems, just the prince’s heart. Are you uncomfortable staying with us?”
Kristel looked straight at me and asked.
“·················ogue.”
For that moment, the temple felt not dark at all.
The crowded hall suddenly disappeared from my ears.
Blue-grey eyes were shining brightly.
Feeling out of breath, I turned my head to the other side.
Quietly burning eyes grabbed my collar.
“Hmm.”
I cleared my neck.
I had to give an answer, but I didn’t want to lie to them.
He didn’t even have a knack for talking.
Jeong Eun-seo, who was reading Toegye-gong, said, ‘Human, express yourself! If you keep your mouth shut, who knows!’ He used to slap the screen of his phone.
That was a criticism that applied to both the Prince and Prince Jesse of the original.
The characters in “Reason, Sensibility, and Divinity” by Benjamin also always vaguely convey their sincerity, thus twisting the situation.
I didn’t want to make that kind of development my own.
“I think you two are good people. I think it’s fine as a partner too. But honestly, I’m afraid it will harm me. You may think that I have a lot of fear, but I have no choice but to be like this by nature. In fact, there have been instances of assassination attempts.”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
For now, this was the best answer the limited-time sub male could come up with.
I was a little disappointed that there was no response. This seems like a polite refusal.
I stroked her chest, which had risen to the top of the palm of her hand.
[I don’t think this is something I can say. Wouldn’t the opinions of the parties be the most important?]
The cardinal’s soft voice echoed through the podium. Then, Kristel jumped up from her seat.
The voice that opened his mouth as he looked at the prince was surprisingly bright.
“I will go.”
The prince clenched his chin. Do you know what it is and do ok right away?
– Again, again
There was a loud sound of footsteps.
Christel approached behind the cardinal, bowed politely, and whispered something in her ear.
Then the cardinal took a step aside with a smile.
As if our protagonist was waiting, he held on to the altar decorated with purple tulips.
Then, the veil that disturbed my sight was thrown off at once.
[Oh My God!]
[Oh my gosh.]
Some of the bishops stood up and were astonished. I was startled too. Steamship suppression is good.
“I am very grateful for the sincere advice and concerns of the Bishops, but as the Cardinal said, the partnership is up to us. Actually, it’s already been decided. So there is no need for pointless arguments.”
no······. What does this mean? I blinked my eyes.
The roaring voice went out without a microphone.
The bishops looked at each other in amazement and whispered. Christel did not stop going straight.
“The Prince and I will be paired with him, not with the bishops here.”
[Wait a minute, Princess. That means that the other person is one… do you mean?]
The chairman, who had been observing the situation silently until then, looked at Christel and asked.
It was a hopeful expression. I was of the same mind.
Surely, you listened to the euphemistic rejection part and remembered only the good words that came before you?
“yes.”
“Collock, Colok!”
I was cold and coughed. I buried my lips in my sleeve.
Hey Eunseo! I did what you told me, but the result is the same frustrating development. What is this?
[But such a thing is in the history of the empire!]
“Isn’t this all the first in the history of the Empire? It’s all about the appearance of the paladin, getting the appointment, and choosing a partner. So why didn’t you decide today? The appointment was immediately moved to the next month, and he also objected to sending us to the Vatican. If there is a precedent left in the new country, I thought you were going to set the fire as it is.”
[··········.]
The horsehair was so good. If I kept listening, it seemed like it would pass over to me.
“If the three of them become partners, then yes. There are records that say that Julitter, the lover of His Majesty Romero, was supposed to have been a mate with two paladins.”
The mouths of me and the red pandas opened wide. When did you investigate that? Am I the only one who didn’t know?
He hurriedly looked back at the prince, but he was not even the slightest agitated. I didn’t know!
“It is not that there is a sense of competition in the new country, but since the bishops were quarreling and talking about it, I had no choice but to give an example. I will not respond.”
The bishops roared like mad, but they did not confront her.
It’s embarrassing that the case of Juliet and Juliet, who is not anyone else, came out, but I couldn’t really refute it because I didn’t get any refusal.
In the meantime, it was so funny that I burst out of breath.
“thank you. Then go in.”
After closing her position with a very Korean remark, she politely greeted the cardinal and returned to her seat.
I didn’t forget to pick up the veil I threw away earlier and write it again.
The distinction between showmanship and daily life was rather strict.
“Your Majesty, please solve the political part.”
Christel, standing in front of the prince, raised his fist as he said that.
The prince looked at her hand for a while and then raised his fist.
“what?”
My consciousness came out of my mouth. What did you just do? What are you two?
“No worries. You from this time,”
The prince looked at me with eyes like fire in the darkness.
“Don’t worry about it” sounded odd. Did I check it?
“Consider naturalization.”
Sorry, I thought differently. what?
