Chapter 109 - Activating A Death Flag Just For Being A Beauty

Emery thought it couldn't be him, after all, there would be no point in trying to become Giovanni's patron if he tarnished the boy's reputation, which would tarnish his own.

Or worse, Abbot Eurico knew what had happened to Giovanni and had misrepresented everything. Emery was no fool to think the Abbot didn't know about the gossip the priests and novice were talking about. He couldn't believe he didn't have enough power to get the answer if he wanted to.

"He's not the kind of person they're talking about. On the contrary, I worry that it will be taken advantage of by others. So I want to take him so I can take care of him better when I get back to the capital," Emery said calmly and logically. He didn't dare have an emotional intonation in his voice so as not to draw even more attention to Giovanni's importance to him.

He just felt annoyed that the villain was still trying to get his hands on Giovanni, which was quite unlike the original villain who abused Giovanni and then threw him away, now the same villain was trying to attack the protagonist when he was supposed to be helpless.

"Do you want to get rid of him?" Arabeth mentally asked through their soul contract.

"Not yet," Emery replied calmly.

He thought of Arabeth's case that was taken by him, then a Great Demon Marquis appeared to replace the absence of the Demon Marquis, if he took out the villain now later would the plot create a great villain or a BOSS of extreme difficulty?

Emery couldn't act rashly when thinking about how the plot seems to fill in the plot holes he was messing with.

"Then that's it. Since Brother Darcy has already spoken for the novice, now I can only be calm. You can ask Brother Marino to get the documentation and to get the novice's items."

Abbot Eurico said as if he felt relieved that Emery hadn't been deceived, which made Emery feel even more suspicious of the abbot's rising goodness. However, he did not complain that the abbot took the initiative to return Giovanni's things to him.

Brother Marino is one of the priests who act as secretaries alongside the Abbot, this priest, in particular, takes care of managing the novices and controls the documentation for everyone. How late Giovanni's documentation arrived; the abbot didn't think much about him. He didn't know that Giovanni was the son of the duke of this country, if he did he wouldn't have allowed Emery to take the young man that way.

The documents are sealed, but as there are dozens of novices there is no way that Brother Marino could have reviewed all the documents, especially given the recent chaos, so Giovanni's identity remains hidden.

"Thank you, brother Eurico. I would like to request to use the sending teleportation. I have a letter to my old mentor, Archbishop Rizzo"

Emery took advantage and placed his order, he hadn't forgotten what Louis said last night, he needed to send the letter ASAP to expedite his retirement from the church.

"No problem, you can tell Brother Marino that," Abbot Eurico said shaking his hand like it was a small problem.

"So, brother Eurico, I'm going to leave. I want to get everything sorted out as quickly as possible." Emery said getting up to say goodbye.

"I understand, Brother Darcy. I would like to apologize for the events of yesterday, I believe they may have been disturbing" Abbot Eurico stood up too, but he did not go to Bishop Darcy, he just gave a formal greeting, clasping his hands as if in prayer, and began to say goodbye.

Of course, Emery noticed that the abbot had finally gotten to what he wanted to talk about.

"It wasn't disturbing, I understand that sometimes our defenses fail and the demons take advantage of it. I don't intend to comment to anyone about yesterday's events."

Emery emphasized the last part. He understood that if rumors spread outside the abbey, the abbey's reputation would go down the drain, besides, the people of high power will want to send someone to control the situation. This will significantly undermine Abbot Eurico's power over the abbey.

"I can only thank Brother Darcy," Abbot Eurico said with an even gentler smile. He liked smart people, even though Bishop Darcy was cocky and spoiled, he was at least a little smart.

"Brother Eurico, you are being very considerate to me. However, brother Eurico, do you need my help with something?" Emery asked just out of courtesy. He knew that Abbot Eurico wanted as little help as possible from people outside the Kingdom of Dawn, but he had to act a little heroic to match the original Emery's image of himself before his transmigration, heroic and arrogant.

"Don't worry brother Darcy, with the return of our Knight Mulder everything will be resolved quickly and what happened yesterday will not happen again. Brother Darcy can continue to rest and meditate in his room." Abbot Eurico knew this, so he dismissed Bishop Darcy's polite kindness.

"I'm glad things can be sorted out," Emery replied heading for the door.

"Brother Darcy, Knight Mulder will accompany you to get the novice's things and documents. Today are dangerous days to wander alone in the abbey"

Abbot Eurico said this and sat down again. Emery knew the abbot really wanted to see if Emery was just going to do what he said he would if he wasn't going to do any tricks under the covers.

Therefore, the leader of the holy knights was appointed to be their escort. Since the leader of the Holy Knights had a status almost on the same level as the Bishop-Exorcist, Emery's status was even higher, however, it would be more difficult to expel Levi Mulder's company.

"Shall we go, Bishop Darcy?" Levi Mulder asked politely. Yet Emery felt the knight's gaze and it was like being in a scalding boiler. His heart went cold, he knew what kind of look that was.

He felt really bad, now Emery had to repress his memories with a force of will. This one with the disgusting look that made your skin crawl and wants to run away.

"Oh, this person seems to want you. Be careful, he doesn't seem like a very 'sacred' person." Arabeth's voice rang in Emery's mind. As a demon who is the son of Emperor Lust, he could sense other people's perverse desires more easily.

Ah, too beautiful people were doomed in Darks BLs... That's why the coolest thing is to be an ordinary person with little appeal.

Emery raised a death flag without even trying. He was now crying in his heart, but face serious as a beautiful exquisite marble statue, he just nodded to Knight Mulder and followed him outside.

Bishop Darcy and Knight Mulder left the abbot's room together and walked side by side. The distance between them was normal, but Emery felt tense. He has Azarphy and Arabeth following them, but he still feels anguished, as if something bad is going to happen.

The two walked through the long corridors that surrounded the east courtyard, they would walk for some time until they reached the west courtyard. In the morning there were many holy knights making rounds, novices doing services, and priests counting the damage done by the storm and demons last night.

Everyone on the way greeted Bishop Darcy and Knight Leader Mulder, they saw them in groups or pairs and then quickly left. With several people around, Emery became less tense and even had a more relaxed aura.

"Bishop Darcy is enjoying the country atmosphere?" Levi asked with a slightly derogatory smile. He himself didn't like the countryside much, he didn't have brothels, taverns, cabarets, theaters, anyway, he didn't have many fun activities, besides walking through the gardens and forest, running with the horses, training and waiting for the next meals; for a person who had lived in the capital for most of his life, this kind of relaxed country life was very boring.

Of course, every now and then some handsome peasant would show up and invariably end up ruined in his hands, but the fun was short-lived, as these people got sick quickly and died even faster after that.

"It's not bad, but I prefer my father's land," Emery said in a cold tone. Levi raised an eyebrow in surprise, but his eyes were full of amusement. In the vision of this knight Emery was like a cute little animal, which now showed its claws because it felt in danger, putting the powerful father in evidence something like:

"Don't mess with me my dad might squish you like an insect!"

Well, he wasn't wrong.

It was beautiful to see Bishop Darcy reminding him that he had a powerful father, which was a veiled warning. However, all this made the "conquest" more interesting.

"I particularly prefer the capital, there is more fun there. More young, beautiful people to have fun with," Levi said almost with a mischievous laugh. Around the two there was no one else, so Levi wasn't acting like a noble holy knight. This was a blind spot where there were more shadows than light, Emery felt his heart quiver with fear.

Azarphy was anxious, as soon as the knight made the move he could give this scum a beating.

Arabeth: Why do you look so excited?

Azarphy: I don't know what you're talking about? *takes two holy white daggers*

Arabeth: I didn't know you fought with daggers, I thought Archangels fought with spears or swords... *doubtful look*

Azarphy: Not for fighting

Arabeth: So what is it for?

Azarphy: To peel off the skin *cool smile*

Arabeth: (...)
