Chapter 323

Chapter 323

TL: Zimmings

The pope looked me in the eye as if he was doubting me.

My conscience would be pricked if I’m ordinary person, but who am I? With no conscience, I casually looked at him.

He looked into my eyes for a while, then raised the corners of his mouth.

“Then shall we eat?”

“Promise me?”

The pope said as he sat down near the bed.

“I’m not going to answer that.”

“You mean you can’t? Why?”

A tray full of food entered the room.

The pope pointed to the opposite seat while those in the robes of a lower-ranking priest moved the food.

When I didn’t move, the priest carefully led me to the table.

When I sat down, the pope said, taking care of the tableware in front of me.

“First, I’m sorry, but I still can’t trust Meria’s words.”

“What?”

“I know that Meria has the wisdom of a serpent. From priests to cardinals, they has suffered from one to another because of you, how can I trust you?”

“.......”

“For that reason, we need to make sure that you really have Prince Andre as your lover, and whether you are referring to Andre to protect other men or to separate the temple from the imperial family.”

The pope put out a plate of food in front of me.

From salmon salad to stew with white sauce, and pot-au-feu, all my favorite foods were.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

I had never revealed my likes and dislikes of food outside.

In other words, it meant that the pope’s information power was great to take have even this information.

‘He’s a clever guy.’

Seeing me with my eyebrows raised, the pope spoke in a soft voice.

“Second, I have no intention of saving your lover.”

“......What?”

The pope’s eyes darkened.

“My love is not light enough to leave a man who is not related to you by your side.”

It was such a cold voice that my spine chilled.

He smiled softly once again and put a fork in my hand.

I pounded the meat on the plate.

Clang-!

The priests who were waiting around the table looked at me, hesring the sound.

“Close your mouth. It stinks.”

“I like that you’re blunt as always.”

It was deep into the night.

Putting on the blanket, I sighed.

‘If it continues like this, the pope will swallow up the empire.’

If that happens, everything I have prepared, whether independence or not, will be in vain.

I’ll be used by that terrible person for the rest of my life.

‘Think. Let’s think.’

I have to think of a solution.

I tried to maintain composure and recalled what I had to do in the future.

The middle-aged priest, the head of the priest who took care of me is Adrian’s person, so Adrian must have already heard the news that I had woken up.

The wise Adrian would already be planning a temple raid with Dubblede.

‘I have to find etwal until they come to pick me up.’

After lightly clenching my fist under the blanket, I got out of bed.

The priests who were waiting by the wall, quickly blocked me.

“It’s late at night, saint.”

“I’ve been kidnapped and imprisoned. It’s not easy to fall asleep. Get out of the way, I’m just taking a light walk.”

“Saint.”

“Should I do something before you think, ‘Oh, I should’ve let that crazy person go for a walk?'”

“.......”

The priest looked at each other.

“What?”

“No, in the last battle, you got your shoulder pierced by Isaac’s sword! You couldn’t even use your arms and sat down.

“This......!”

When I showed off the skill I had been taught by Emeline, the so-called <Hell’s mouth> without regret, Ridalante’s face became red with anger.

“You crazy girl...”...!”

A wave rippled through his fingers.

I quickly stood against the wall connected to the underground passage.

‘Okay, shoot!’

Please break down the walls!

“Ridalante!”

“Stop!”

Nicolasio and the priest hurriedly grabbed him, but it was too late.

Ridalante, whose eyes were red, threw a wave of divine power at me.

I hurriedly moved to avoid the wave.

Bang-!

The wave directly attacked the wall.

At the same time,

“Ugh!”

Ridalante groaned, grabbing his neck with both hands.

Something was squeezing Ridalante’s neck.

Me, Nicolasio, and the priest looked at him.

Behind him was the pope.

Entering the garden with a few priests, he slowly walked into the middle of the garden. The shadow chasing him shook in a hideous form.

As if it was the shadow of a monster.

“His, His... Holiness.”

Ridalante struggled.

“How dare you.”

“His holiness... Ugh!”

The pope was really about to kill Ridalante.

No one dared to speak up for him.

From Ridalante’s body, a terrible sound was heard one after another. Traces of blood were dripping.

It was only then that Nicolasio broke the pope.

“His holiness, calm down!”

The pope threw Ridalante to the ground only after he had completely lost consciousness.

‘What is that power?’

I was so surprised that I looked at the pope stiffly.

I know the pope’s divine power is enormous, but his power was completely different this time.

When he exerted his power, I didn’t even feel the wave of power at all.

‘Are you saying that God’s power was this much?’

Now I know.

Mina and I couldn’t handle God’s power properly.

But there was something even more surprising than that... ... .

The pope bent one knee in front of me and held out his hand.

“Are you okay?”

I gulped and looked at him.

“.......”

“Oh my, you seem very surprised. I’ll take you to your room.”

“...Here.”

“Yes?”

“Why are you here now? I was so scared.”

“...Meria.”

He hugged me with a shocked expression.

Meanwhile, my gaze was directed only to the back of the pope.

To be more precise, to the man in the priest’s robes. A wind blew through his hood, I could see his beautiful blonde hair.

‘Adrian.’
