One thing I can estimate when the assassin was sent to kill me. There was so much suspicion that it only allowed what I had thought to be the mastermind.
It seems like the nobles who dislike me are starting to make a move.
If the noble faction formed a union then it would be a little complicated. Gathering strength as fellow royals was not difficult if they wanted to. Because the principle of nobility does not like to convoluted, although it must take a path against the law.
They can hide their crimes with their wealth or connection of honor. And also I am with that the laws of this world are too flexible even sometimes the trial judge of truth, will move parties when they get money.
That's royalty. Thinking about it made me click my tongue. I can't believe that in this rotten world there are rotten creatures.
Assassin I have to deal with immediately, I am sure sooner or later he will come back again.
“... int—!”
How am I supposed to trap that assassin? He looks very tough and stubborn.
But, seeing Yohan frontally fighting against him, the assassin could not frown at all.
Why not, if his entire Skill had been broken by Yohan.
“Saint Alvius!”
Then the sound woke my consciousness. Ah, how long have I been daydreaming in my own mind.
Until I didn't realize I should have a meeting with Director Sarion in his room.
“Saint what are you thinking seriously so don't hear me calling many times.”
“Sorry Director seems to me a little exhausted.”
There's no way. I've been overworked as a Saint and student lately. If you say tired, it is very tiring.
The director breathed in front of me. This person did not hide his anxiety at all every time he met me.
“It will be a little problematic if you fall ill later.”
“... Why?”
“Didn't you listen to me from earlier?”
I don't have an idea for that. Instead of answering, I turned my attention in the other direction while pretending to think.
“Ha... I have guessed.” The director pressed the middle corner of his furrowed brows. “I am talking about the event tomorrow.”
“Mhm, I heard.”
“Tomorrow is the day of the Enlightenment Ceremony. As a Saint your main task is to give blessings to everyone who comes.”
“Eh? One by one?”
The director shook his head lightly. “Not necessarily, use Skill large-scale area alone is enough.”
So. I do have a monitor to use a large area distance Skill. However it only applies a few radii as my center.
“Did the nobles also come?”
“Ya.” replied the Director spontaneously by drinking his tea. “The royal family will also be present this time.”
“Yes... What?”
The director slightly lowered his eyebrows and the answer he gave, becoming the spelling of words.
“Ke,lu, price, Ke,ra,jaan. Coming up.”
I got up from my sofa with a restless look and lost my composure, not as usual.
“Why?!”
Even the Director's answer became quiet like the opposite of mine. “Ya, because tomorrow is important day.”
Keuh, this guy seems to have a grudge against me. His way of speaking answered me very casually as if imitating me when acting haughty.
There was no other choice but to listen, I sat back down.
“I understand why the ceremony is important. However, this is strange, why didn't they come on my inauguration day?”
“We the Church has no predictions for that. Maybe they are very busy or there are other things that make them unable to come.”
My forehead shriveled, and my tone became angry. “What Saint inauguration does not matter to them?”
“We have nothing to do with them at all. Whatever they do is their business. The church is not tied to the royal family nor does it defend or side with any nobility. We live according to the laws and rules that have been set.”
That's what the long-living woman and the man who created this place said. Home to the Priests and a place where nobility or royal family could not touch them.
Even so there were times when confrontations between the two sides gained resistance among the nobles. Their fundamentals were questioned when the Church did not partake of the royal family and supported them.
The Church is therefore the strongest faction that can silence the royal family if it wishes. However, as it looks, that the Director is not playing dirty ways at all.
He did not care what happened to the royal family or other nobles. He has no ties to anyone but continues to work and obey the rules of this Kingdom.
He showed that the Church cannot be destroyed.
“I just feel suspicious. However, if the Director has a mind of his own then I will not interfere with internal or external problems that will occur between you.”
“Ya, I understand.”
“And do not forget, I will move according to my own principle.”
“Sure, I won't interfere too.”
I smiled wryly and put a little pressure on my voice. “Although later I destroy this place?”
The director paused for a moment and then his pupils crawled up and looked at me.
“I hope it never happens.”
“Kuhahaha, you are really serious for that?”
“Because you are an unexpected child then of course.”
After laughing hearing the Director say that with a furious look on his face, I covered the grin with the crack of my finger.
“You just have to be quiet and just wait.”
The director took off the pressure by taking a breath and ended our conversation here.
About my incident with the assassin obviously he knew. But he didn't seem to bring it up directly in front of me and chose to keep his mouth shut.
He really did the job with the agreement that we both agreed on. That I also have authority here and whatever problems I cause, then he will not take action as long as I do not harm or put other residents in trouble.
I'm glad that he's the one who never broke what he said.
“Senior Heros..”
I met Heros after coming out of the Director's room. Heros seemed to know that I was here and waiting for me at the end of the corridor.
After that we both walked together.
Tomorrow is the important day when there is the Enlightenment Ceremony of blessing. The Church dwellers are a little busy preparing for everything. Like preparing for a festival.
“Tomorrow is an important day for you, are you okay?”
“Thank you for worrying about me senior, but I'm fine. How about senior himself does everything go smoothly?”
If looked carefully, he was rarely injured again. Seeing that I was a little relieved. Heros still smiled lightly despite not answering. For me it is easy to understand and certainly not as fast as it is in developing a healthy relationship.
I don't know how much the enemy is.
“Senior, don't think about it.” I gave him a thumb for his efforts during this time.
Heros smiled satisfied with just that and we walked around talking about things beyond the concept of conversation that could bring his wounds back.
I feel good about the person I can finally talk to as a friend.
I helped with the preparation of the ceremony with the Priests and High Priests. Although sometimes their nature is strange and different when I appear they are filled with a fiery spirit and welcome me.
My relationship with Yohan also improved slowly despite being a little awkward and difficult to bring along a comfortable chat. Yohan chose to ask my opinion and asked me for advice.
During that nature slowly also changed in applying the advice from me. Yet...
.... After all that.
I realized I was too naive.
It was then the despair of everyone for the first time I witnessed.
It means that this is the worst side of the world.
