Chapter 247

The priest hesitated for just a moment before immediately shaking his head.

“No. He didn’t go that far. You High Priests know better than anyone what kind of nature His Highness the Crown Prince has…”

“Haah…”

The High Priests let out strange sighs.

They exchanged glances before stepping forward.

“We can no longer bear to watch His Highness the Crown Prince being deceived by evil.”

“High Priest? What do you mean by that…”

“The Saint continues to cough up blood, and His Highness the Crown Prince is destroying sacred relics! The root of that evil surely lies with Frazier!”

One of the delegation representatives cautiously spoke up.

“…High Priest. The Grand Duke Frazier House is a family of great renown. But…”

“In the name of God.”

At the High Priest’s solemn words, the startled priests hurriedly knelt down.

“Previously, Grand Duchess Frazier took upon herself the position of lord of ‘Bellus Territory,’ located in the borderlands, a land forsaken by God. At that time, something sinister and wicked was surely manipulating Grand Duchess Frazier…”

“…”

“As servants of God, we must rightfully settle all this trouble! From this moment on, the Great Temple will use all its power to eliminate evil!”

The moment the High Priests gave their permission, the sounds of clashing swords and shouts pierced the ears from all directions.

* * *

“Crazy bastards! According to that precious continental law, you should wait at least an hour after the declaration!”

Leon Frazier swung his sword while cursing.

“Get lost! You sons of bitches! Have you all lost your minds?”

But the Holy Knights only swung their swords with bloodshot eyes. Knocking out knights who attacked with killing intent and desperation, without killing them, required considerable skill.

Fortunately, Leon Frazier boasted unparalleled swordsmanship skills even by Academy standards, but not all the other knights were like that.

A hard-fought battle.

The longer this bloody fight continued, the more blood was shed, the more disadvantageous it became for Frazier.

If only the Frazier family gained infamy, it wouldn’t have mattered.

‘If that were the case, I’d just kill them all! It’s so frustrating!’

But because Tulia was there, Leon Frazier had to suppress his killing intent.

She was truly a Grand Duchess and had directly accused the High Priest.

Among the believers, there were many faithful ones, but there were also those who had turned fanatical.

What if Tulia became endangered?

He could spend his lifetime following and protecting her, but what if fanatics got to her while he was briefly away?

So Leon Frazier broke the Holy Knights’ legs as peacefully as possible.

“Aaah!”

“Pass out, you bastard.”

The number of Holy Knights he had knocked unconscious by striking their necks hard already exceeded forty.

Leon Frazier walked with large strides holding his sword, reading the flow of the battlefield with his eyes.

The Holy Knights were very numerous.

Whether due to the High Priest’s declaration or because they had already entered a violent situation, knights from the Kingdom Alliance delegation were also out swinging their swords.

But if you looked carefully, you could tell.

The Holy Knights were pretending to attack the Briyang Knights and Frazier Knights in front of them while gradually moving toward a specific direction.

Then there.

Tulia would be there.

That ill-tempered girl the High Priests feared so much.

He hadn’t heard anything about Tulia’s whereabouts, but it wasn’t difficult to figure out where he should guard.

If that girl was going there, he had to protect that direction.

* * *

“Found it!”

As I shouted with an emotion similar to joy, a question came from right beside me.

“Lady Tulia. Is this the place you were looking for?”

“Yes. Ramus.”

Ramus Jeremiah.

My slave.

My subordinate.

My information broker.

He was currently being used for a different purpose.

He was following me around with Coriko, whose mouth was gagged, tied to his back.

It definitely wasn’t because I had come in and ordered him to attend to me.

It was purely Ramus Jeremiah’s own will.

What did he say again?

That he absolutely couldn’t miss the opportunity to learn information about every corner of the Great Temple?

‘I guess you really do have to risk your life to become the best at anything.’

Being half out of your mind comes as a bonus.

Ramus Jeremiah asked.

“Lady Tulia. Is there really a deadly poisonous sacred relic inside here?”

“Probably?”

“Probably…”

That was right.

The justification I had put forward from the beginning to search the Great Temple was that the High Priests had tried to poison Coriko, who was the Saint.

I looked around with regret.

“To think they hid it in a place like this…”

Honestly, it was amazing. I never knew the place I had been searching for so desperately would be decorated so luxuriously.

At first glance, it looked like just a reception room for distinguished guests. A magnificent space decorated everywhere with gorgeous silk, like some wealthy person’s villa.

The floor was laid with beautiful marbled olive-colored marble, and the elaborate furniture made of dark oak had gold generously painted on every corner.

The lace curtains that abundantly used smooth and glossy taffeta perfectly separated this cozy space from the bloody scene outside.

“Gentlemen.”

I spoke up.

“Destroy everything here.”

“Yes, my lady!”

“You must not!”

By the way, besides me, Ramus, and Coriko, there were quite a few other people here.

Namely, the knights under Frazier, and the High Priests.

Since the High Priests might fabricate that I had harmed Coriko (though it was true), I brought them along as witnesses, hostages, and just to vent my anger.

“We found Grand Duchess Frazier!”

“She’s here!”

“This is the place!”

Then, commotion coming from the entrance.

I turned around. Priests with bloodshot eyes were pouring in.

Behind them were Holy Knights holding swords, and even numerous delegation members and their subordinate knights.

“Grand Duchess Frazier! Surrender quietly!”

“Surrender?”

I rolled my eyes once before asking.

“By any chance, did the Kingdom Alliance come to attack Frazier and Briyang? War?”

“Stop playing word games! According to continental law, we will not tolerate any more violence!”

“Is that so? Then should we just leave our Coriko to keep coughing up blood like this?”

At those words, the alliance delegation’s gazes turned toward Coriko. She was still spilling blood.

Ramus Jeremiah’s back, which was carrying her, was soaked bright red, so there was no need to describe how terrible the sight was.

Then, the High Priest stepped forward and spoke.

“It’s true that the Saint became like this after taking the potion I gave her. But we’ve already found the reason – it’s due to divine power side effects.”

“….”

“So please stop any further disputes. We’ve already reached this conclusion, so what justification does the Grand Duchess have for trampling on a perfectly fine Grand Temple?”

[System] Would you like to use the benefit ‘Beauty That Topples Nations’?

‘Ah.’

I can’t control my desires….

The urge to blow up these High Priests running their mouths is just….

I racked my brain to come up with justification for that bastard.

No, I tried to rack my brain.

“Do I need justification?”

I quickly found there was no need to rack my brain.

I turned around and opened my eyes wide.

“Frazier has already suffered great harm to our direct lineage.”

Leon Frazier was walking in with his sword hanging loose.

He was covered in blood all over his body, making him look exactly like a monster from the battlefield. It was a sight that naturally left one speechless.

“Don’t you dare try to stop my younger sibling. Haven’t things already come this far anyway?”

“….”

At his words, the delegation members’ lips trembled.

That was right.

The situation had already come this far.

Was there any reason for Frazier to turn back here?

There wasn’t.

“And my younger sibling is Grand Duchess Frazier. The Grand Duchess’s will is Frazier’s will.”

Leon Frazier stood before me like a mountain and spoke.

“Continue what you were doing. Grand Duchess.”

“….”

I immediately turned my head.

“Destroy all the furniture and tear up the walls and floors too!”

“Yes, my lady!”

“Grand Duchess Frazier!”

“Stop this at once!”

“Don’t look back and keep going!”

The last voice was Leon Frazier’s. I stared without blinking as the Knights frantically destroyed the reception room.

“…!”

A strange silence gradually began to spread. The massive furniture being smashed to pieces.

And likewise, beneath the walls and floors being torn and ripped away…. strangely neat bricks were revealed.

And….

“…What is that?”

“Those stains, surely they’re not all bloodstains…are they?”

“What on earth is that…!”

One massive iron door covered in brown bloodstains.

Anyone with eyes could tell.

This reception room was merely for deception, and that behind the splendid curtain existed an unknown secret chamber.
