‘I will stay here and defend my seat. ’
‘Indeed.'
‘Yes, if you don't come back in three hours…. ’
‘That's not gonna happen. ’
‘No, if you don't return in three hours, I will send troops right away. I made it clear, it's only three hours. Priest Bishop.'
Trans lated by Jp mt l.c o m ‘Okay, I'll be back in three hours. ’
‘The condition is not to use propaganda for this meeting. You must tell me. And soon after you came back.... ’
‘Yevkarina, let me tell you what I've been talking about. ’
‘Yes, please. Senior Priest Bishop. ’
‘No, thank you more this way. It must have been a lot of favors... Then I'll go. ’
‘We will go out with you to the entrance. ’
Exactly two hours and 22 minutes ago, the conversation continued to linger in memory. Of course, it was a good idea to think about it.
Tr an s l a t ed b y jp m t l .co m While it was not impossible to communicate among the fighting forces during the exhibition, this was certainly an exception.
I didn't even ask for permission from the top troops. Honorary Cardinal Lee meets senior priests in the Republic.
I never imagined I'd be able to accept what I had offered earlier.
You don't think it's a trap? ’
As far as the Church is concerned, it's a trap. The Republic was mainly propaganda about slandering the Honorable Cardinal Lee and actually pointed him out publicly on the continent.
However, his appearance, which was waiting at the meeting place, seemed too calm. A face that I didn't really think was a trap.
Even though I only met him briefly, he still smiled quietly.
He believed that the Republican faction would do no such thing.
‘No... Why didn't I go in with Priest Bishop?' ’
What's your excuse for saying you have to protect this place? In fact, the answer is already out.
‘I couldn't believe it wouldn't shake. ’
It was the same word. His values would have been afraid that the republic he believed in would collapse.
It's true that you want to know the truth. But I am not confident to face him in person. I thought it was contradictory, but I couldn't help it. I'm a coward.
‘I'm the one who has to fight...' ’
I looked out the window and saw a small tent that they were still talking about.
Tra n sl at e d b y jpm tl.com Of course I want to know what kind of conversation is going on. It was then that I heard a voice from the side.
“Are you all right, Yevkarina? ”
“Ah. There you are. ”
“ ……. ”
“It's going to be okay. They wouldn't have done anything too conspicuous. No matter how informal the dialogue is, it's the dialogue of priests. Senior Priest Bishop won't do anything stupid like that either. ”
“I see. Senior Priest Bishop... ”
“You have nothing to worry about. There's a little bit of a blockage, but he's really what the Republic needs. I would never do anything that would harm my country. You don't seem to hate us from his perspective. We are strangers.”
“I suppose so. ”
“Yes.”
“But, Carina, ”
“Yes.”
“Why? ”
“Why? ”
“Yes, I honestly don't understand. Of course, it's because of Priest Bishop's face... ”
“Well, I don't know. I really do.”
Tran sla t e d b y jp m t l .c o m “ ……. ”
“I'm not doubting you. But this war is out there somewhere. that we're moving into someone else's scenario. Maybe…."
“Yes.”
“Maybe the war started in the Republics first. I'm not sure, but there's a good chance. ”
“That's …. ”
“It's a personal idea. And it's the idea of suppressing it as much as possible. Of course, even if the Republic is not well, I will stand by the Republic, by your side. That doesn't change. Tsk, tsk. But.... ”
“Yes.”
“I want to know what the truth is. I don't want to be dragged around blind. That's why I nodded my head to Priest Bishop's proposal. You need to know what you're fighting for. At least I am. ”
“I see.”
“Haven't you ever doubted the Republic? ”
“It's not gone... but I don't think I've ever thought about it as deeply as Carina. Of course, I understand what Carina has in mind. But... I don't think it's a good idea to fall too far into it. Come to think of it, you always said you were worried about Carina. ”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, you said that thinking deeply is a strength, but falling too far behind is a weakness. He also said that he doesn't fit in the battlefield because of his personality... ”
I laughed bitterly. It was because I was proud, but empathetic enough.
That's why I was assigned to guard, not to go in. That's why I'm fighting with Everia, not with Castle Rock.
“You know very well. The military..." T r a n sl at ed b y Jp mtl .com
“But that's why he said he would shine more in places like this. ”
“ ……. ”
“ ……. ”
“Haha, that's good news. I can't believe you're thinking about me... This is really good news. ”
“There must be a reason why you should never trust his words, Cardinal Lee. ”
“Yes. That too... ”
‘There must be a reason. ’
“You said that's why we're fighting. a little while ago. ”
“Yes, that's right, Wing. ”
“Is it not enough to fight for those who trust Carina now? ”
“Ah…. ”
Of course, it made me feel clear in my head for some reason. It felt like everything that was complicated was being organized at once.
Of course, there is nothing organized. The seeds of doubt were still growing in my heart, and my head aches because of my thoughts.
But I feel like I know what to do. You have to do what's right in front of you. That's all for now.
Either way, the battle will happen, and a lot of people will die if you make a mistake. The fact that soldiers in the Republic and soldiers in the state collide is inevitable.
It is already determined which side is an ally and which side is an enemy.
“I see… Yes, I see. ”
A faint smile spreads over your mouth. It was ridiculous to forget such a simple thing. Tactics are a way to win effectively. Win battles with minimal damage to allies. We have a job to do.
“Let's start getting up. It's been three hours. ”
“Yes, Carina. ”
Priest Bishop showed his face shortly after I moved my feet. I was a little surprised, Cardinal Lee Young-young.
That he's walking with us. Of course, the escorts won together, but the appearance was a little strange.
Your eyes are a little torn, your nose is clever, and your lips look strangely red. It's hard to say that he's overall handsome, but he feels dirty wherever he is.
However, I noticed a very good-looking face when I smiled.
“I've heard stories. Yeta Carina. Thank you for making the difficult decision. ”
“No, Your Eminence. You must keep your promise. This conversation... ”
“Of course, I won't use propaganda. That's how you talk about God... I don't enjoy it either... What do you think? I don't think it's a good idea to break up like this, but at least we can talk together... ”
“No, I'll be right back. I appreciate the favor, but I'm the enemy now. I'll see you when this is all over. If we don't die together... I'll find you first. ”
“Right, if we don't die together... yes. That's your decision.”
“ ……. ”
“Unfortunately… umm… no… umm… that's too bad. I don't want a fight either... but I need you to understand the situation we're in. Carina.”
“Of course I understand. Neither are you... This way. I'll see you on the battlefield. ”
“Yes, I don't know if the meeting place will be a battlefield... but please take care of it." Goodbye, then. ”
It was no wonder that I could see him turning his back slowly. Even the voice of conversation is heard.
“I came all the way out here like you said, but I don't want this to happen next time. I have a heartbeat, and you're okay with it? ”
“Why wouldn't I be? I only believe. Ducky, them and you. ”
“Well, I appreciate the gesture, but I'm a little embarrassed. We'd better get back to work soon. Maybe a chaser will follow us. ”
“That's not gonna happen. ”
“You're so trusting, Tal. ”
The person you're talking to must be the warrior you saw in the goddess' mirror.
A car that I thought looked familiar for some reason. Though I was interested, I immediately turned my head. It's because I heard a voice coming from the front.
“What do I do? Mr. Carina, the Rangers... ”
“No, we don't have to do that... we'll meet anyway. ”
“Yes, well, I'll do that. ”
“Did you have a better conversation with Priest Bishop? ”
“ ……. ”
“Priest Bishop? ”
“Oh... you called? ”
“Yes, did you talk well…. ”
“Well, yes. I spent a little more time thinking I was a better man than I thought I was. I'm sorry about this. ”
“No, I'm fine. ”
“Hmm... I still want to fight... ”
“Yes, I have to. Perhaps the same is true of the Cardinal of Honor, who cannot change the situation. It's an unforgivable situation.... ”
“Too bad. ”
“Have you cleared your mind, Priest? ”
“It's kind of fuzzy to say it's been solved, but I feel a little better. I think I know what he's thinking... and I think I know who he is. If this old man's eyes are clear, he can say he is a messenger chosen by God. No, I'm sure of it. He is a saint chosen by the goddess Benigore. ”
“Is that true? ”
“Oh my…. ”
“Then the Lyos incident…. ”
“He couldn't have done it. He's not like that. You're a terrible liar. He was also concerned about the blood... and the expression" saint "matched. By the way... ”
“Still... we intend to fight. ”
“I see.... ”
“Thank you for your understanding. ”
“ ……. ”
“ ……. ”
“What's in your hand... ”
“Ah, wine. ”
“Yes?”
“Haven't you heard of the sacred wine that only the high priests of the Church can drink? I've had a few more today. I was told to bring it as a gift.You don't have to worry about it because it's poisoned or dangerous. Would you like to come in for a drink? ”
“No, I…. ”
“We're not talking about getting drunk together. Carina, listen to me for a second. ”
“That's …. ”
“It's going to be a fairly important story. ”
