242 Episode 9 Truth of the Day ②

"It's been ten years... since the Pope came to me.This is what he told me.Choose between the future of the next pope or the Abelard family or the future that will perish.and..... "

Oh, I see.

If you help me assassinate Lina and the others, I'll make you the next Pope, but if you don't help me, you'll die too.

"At the time, the Fontaine family was inferior to the Pope... but they had a powerful assassination force.It was an assassination unit made up of veterinarians. "

Huh?

Wesen tribe?

"At that time, the Beast tribe was often flowing into the Catholic country...I hired the Beast tribe as an assassin. "

"Who are these people...?

"I was defeated and killed in battle with the Virgin Ladies.Survival has been pulled out of the Pope's hands. "

"I see...."

Perhaps the Pope's original aim was to weaken the Fontaine family.

Even so, did the Beast boy initially serve the Fontaine family?

That's why it's possible you're on our offer.

"The Abelards often fought the Pope and the Fontaine to protect the Virgin and Lina."

"Master Olver and Master Brian were so strong...."

Olver is Leena's grandfather, and Brian is his father.

Grandpa must have been an elf.

"Even though I had hundreds of assassins fighting for 12 in the Holy Nation, I let Celina, Liana and... even my sister escape."

Yeah, even my sister?

"... eh? Oh, did your mother save you...?

Lina immediately asked Gael if she thought the same thing about me.

"I'm sorry to keep quiet until now.As a matter of fact, Marlet is alive.I broke the Pope's life and saved my sister. "

"How...?Mom was trying to get us out of there..... "

"After Celina and Liana escaped, Olver and Brian brought the deal to Fontaine's assassination unit."

The deal... I can almost imagine what it is.

"If you help Maret, he'll kill you without further resistance."

I knew it. That's the only deal I could make.

"So, did you really kill your father?!

"Oh, I had to.There were a lot of things I had to protect... I wouldn't say forgive, but it would be helpful if you could just understand. "

Well, I have a wife and a daughter.

I feel like I can't help blaming Gael for all this.

"Leena, let's calm down a little.You still haven't asked, have you?

"That's right...So, what happened to the mother who saved your life?

"He's still alive.Hide yourself in the country. "

Good. The Pope didn't kill you, did he?

"Where are you...?

That's where Liana and Serena were hiding.

Huh?

"After Serena and Liana were expelled from the Holy Land, we decided to let Marrett and the others live in that house."

"Well, then, from now on... will I be able to see my mother?

I was going to head back to Lena's hometown, but I didn't know Lena's mother was hiding there.

"Oh, I see.Liana, take Maret and the others.He would rather have a glorious life with his daughter than live on such a border. "

"I see...."

The conversation with Gael was over, and as soon as she entered the room she would take care of for a while from today, Lena began to cry.

Apparently, I've been holding back from crying.

"Uhhh... guu, wow ~ nn"

"All right, all right. It was tough."

I stroked Lena's head until she stopped crying for a while.

Well then, as soon as we finish seeing the Pope, we'll head back to Leena's hometown.

Now that Lena has settled down a lot, I've decided to rebuild my plans for the next trip.

It's a honeymoon, but Leena's mother is more important.

"Well, I'd like to see the pope, but I'd like to be there right away."

"I can't do that to a boulder.Besides, if we keep going, we could put Leena's mother in harm's way, right?I've never moved on to settle with the Pope before. "

I don't want to get involved with the Pope as much as possible, but I can't get away with it.

It would be a good idea to get rid of it quickly.

"Sure! Leave it to me!I will destroy the Pope!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What would you do if someone asked you?

"Don't hesitate to do it when you need it!I'll do everything I can to unleash my magic. "

So, if someone asks me...

Well, that doesn't really matter anymore.

We're going to fight anyway.

"Don't be so rude.

"It's okay. We need a reliable escort this time."

"Reliable escort this time?

Who is it, Lou?

"Ah, I knew you didn't notice.Turn around. "

Turning around, the smiling uncle stood.

"Uh-huh?

I was surprised to hear a very cool voice.

If this were Barth, he'd say, "What are you?" But I didn't think he had an uncle.

Long time no see.

"... Uncle, why are you here?

Is the Emperor's escort good?

"I've been in the Holy City for a month on a mission to find a base for ninjas."

"Ninja base?

Allen, are you in a Christian country?

"Yes, there was no kingdom, so I think it's definitely a Christian country."

Ah. Uncle, I thought you were the Pope's escort, but you've been looking for the Nobushiya stronghold.

Well, for Uncle Allen, he's a friend, and he wants to solve it himself.

"I see... did you find any clues?

"Little by little.For now, Allen is with the Pope. "

Huh?

Allen's at the Pope's?

It's like the Pope paid a lot of money to hire him.

"In the hands of the Pope led by a vampire... do we have to watch out for Allen..."

That sucks a lot...

This time, I thought I could handle Belle, Lou and Alma, but... are you okay?

I'll keep Allen alert.

You were at that party.

Secrets are best dealt with in secret.

"Yes, please."

"Nevertheless, Leo gets into trouble wherever he goes."

"I see. It's like God is playing with you."

"Ha ha ha. It's not funny."

You're really being played by God.

"That's really true.The kingdom is almost like Leo's, and if he defeats the Pope, Leo will have unified the human world by himself.I don't doubt it, even if I was chosen by God. "

No... that sounds like I'm trying to conquer the world.

Besides, the kingdom is almost mine.

"No, the kingdom belongs to Elaine, not me...If the Pope were gone, wouldn't Gael be Pope?

"Neither of you can get your head up to Leo.It's hardly an exaggeration to say that Leo is in control. "

What do you mean?

"That's not true....."

I thought about it with my head fully turned, but I couldn't contest it.

Huh? Maybe I was helping people and running behind the scenes to conquer the world?

"Ahahah. Soon Leo will be like the demon king of stories!

Well, the Devil is like a villain to me.

How can you peek at the bad things I've done in my life?
