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.

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.

At that time, the head of the priests helped me.

“We’ll decide on the walking course. Of course, the pope should know that you have gone for a walk, and we should not be more than three steps away from you.”

“Is that so?”

When the head gestured, the priests left the room first.

They’re probably trying to tell the pope that they’ve been forced to do so.

I followed the priests down the hallway.

It was the head who stood next to me.

“But what’s your name?”

“My name is Lucia.”

“Lucia, where did you put my ‘clothes’? I don’t want to wear it any more because it’s disgusting to see the robes of the priest.”

‘Where’s my etwal?’

-Was the meaning of the word.

Lucia who is quick-witted, replied.

“Everything about the saint is managed by the pope. Clothes will be delivered ‘after washing.’ It’ll be as early as tomorrow afternoon.”

She particularly emphasized washing.

‘What are they going to do with my clothes?’

They can put something on it.

The barriers are tricky, but if the clothes are hung with magic, escape may never be possible.

‘Then, there’s not much time… … .’

I have to escape by tomorrow afternoon.

I managed to hold back a groan that was about to come out.

The place where the priest took me was a quiet garden. As I casually looked around the garden, I realized something.

‘Begonia Garden!’

This was a garden not far from where I trained in my first life.

In my first life, I treated quiet well at the beginning.

At first, the temple treated me as a child of fate. If I fell and scrap my knee, the 21 priests would be making a fuss.

The reason why the temple gave up on me was that my divine power did not increase even after years of training.

It was like that until they gave up on me, but I used to come to the vatican and train.

My heart is pounding.

Knowing the location of the Begonia Garden, I was able to roughly know the map of the vatican.

‘There was a passage behind the wall of the Begonia Garden.’

If I can open the door to the passage, I may be able to escape by myself.

The only people who can open the door are the cardinal and the people under the direct control of the pope.

‘If only I could get the key from them or break that wall…!’

Just then,

“What are you doing!”

There was an angry voice of some people.

The cardinals grumbled.

“Foolish!”

Cardinal Nicolasio let out a thunderous shout.

“You opened the door! Are you crazy?”

Cardinal Ridalante also looked at the priests with a fierce expression, and they hurriedly bowed their heads.

“B- but, if we don’t open the door, she’ll…”

“It would be nice if she took her own life.”

Ridalante, who was properly disgraced by me in the interrogation room said that.

At that moment, the light bulb in my head lit up.

‘I thought of a good way.’

I raised the corners of my lips.

“Oh, you wanted me to die.”

“I’m surprised you didn’t know until now.”

“While calling me a saint, I used up all of the temple’s assets and they painted my room with gold, so I thought I was a precious person in the temple.”

Your temple is a tin can with no money.

But the pope treats me lavishly.

Your leader is out of his mind!

Ridalante, who understood my ridicule, turned red.

“I don’t know how you are deceiving the pope, but he will inevitably open his eyes…!”

“Can you do it with your hands?”

“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.’
