Chapter 240

We Probably Wouldn’t Make It [Part 3]

“Even if, by any chance, the Kingdom has a Holy Maiden, it does not concern you!” the prince raised his voice.

“Hahaha, it does not concern us, you say? Can you say the same before God? The Empire’s Royal Family are all Saints, which are already synonymous with God. You may even say that I, a messenger of the Empire’s Royal Family who are gods, am also a god. And this honorable self is telling you to leave the judgment of whether the Holy Maiden in the rumors is real or not to us!”

The Empire’s fat chief delegate left his seat without trying to hide the vulgar smile on his face.

“Well, it’s only a matter of time before I find her. There are hundreds of Imperial people in this country now, including merchants. I will excuse myself for today.”

The chief delegate left the room with loud footsteps.

“...The Empire is the same as ever.”

They looked down on even the Kingdom’s King.

“Your Majesty, why does the chief delegate take the rumors on the streets seriously? Although we all know Emma has overflowing benevolence like a Holy Maiden, there has not been an official notice from the church.”

“Edward, he was like that because he just wanted to personally see the royal capital’s rumored beautiful girl. He can throw his weight around in the Kingdom, so he must think he can do whatever he wants... to Emma-chan...”

“Wha—?!!!”DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)com

Edward glared at the door the chief delegate had exited from.

“That fat bastard... I’ll kill him.”

It was the worst case scenario he could think of.

Although the Kingdom’s church had declared independence from the Empire’s church, some of its parts were still unable to break free from the Empire’s church’s influence.

“...I will protect Emma-chan. Definitely. After all, we surely can’t bear to let such a pure, admirable, and kind child live in the Empire, right?”

The king clenched his hands tightly with all his might before stroking Edward’s drooping head roughly. He felt irritated at himself with how he could only say mere words of consolation to his son.

“Your Majesty.”

The Prime Minister, who had no plans to attend today’s evening party, appeared in the hall and approached the King hurriedly before whispering something to him.

“The church just sent an official notice that they have acknowledged a Holy Maiden.”

The worst case scenario they could think of had happened.

The turmoil is,

regardless if she’s present or absent,

basically caused by Emma.
