The Paladin Owns the Relic

13 – Beverick (2)

I was creeped out by Beverick. Even though he ignored me, I tried to be in his eyes.

Isn’t there a saying that nothing is impossible with hard work!

But after a week or so, my patience ran out.

“You bastard with no self-respect. Why is Irene so worried about you… Tsk.”

A single word that breaks all your heart once again. Ah. Powerful.

This bastard is a bastard with no room for rehabilitation!

“Ahahahaha.”

Today you are f*cked. You die and i die I tried to hit him with my bloody hand.

But Meerkant stopped me. He stood in the way between me and smiled as always.

“I need a hand. Beverick. Can you help me?”

“Take that bastard. Why me when there’s a bastard who plays and eats?”

“This is something that can only be done without you. Aren’t you a child who lacks learning yet? There is no other child in this branch who is smarter than you in theology, so I can’t help it. Please help me.”

“…Haa. Seriously. Everyone wants it because they are incompetent.”

Meerkant winked at me. I let out a sigh at the inappropriate wink.

You should know that I endured the fact that I was about to hit you in the head right away. Pup.

I grabbed the documents Martyr handed over and flipped them over. There was a reason it didn’t explode right away.

Bishop Brody.

One of the powerhouses at the headquarters of the Church behind that bastard.

The name was famous. Even here, where the Sun God was treated as a traitor, its name was easily mentioned.

Rana is one of the leaders of the dying Church of Ra. Because the ship was so powerful, there was a good chance that even if Beverick gathered evidence of violating the Church’s doctrines, he would be buried.

I knew how the well-to-do upper-class children covered their sins. In my previous life, I had been stretched out a lot.

Of course, he will subtly forgive your sins, and he will send you out somewhere to get some fresh air. It’s obvious if you don’t look That guy knows that too, so he must be leaving.

If you want to solve this, you can’t just solve it. I need to release it in the right place…

“To do that, you have to create a situation…”

I assumed several situations. I made a plan lightly and then erased it repeatedly.

The most helpful for me.

I didn’t move even as the night approached. I sat in my room, lit a candle, and briefly organized my notes.

It’s a single pass. In order for me to go to the Church Headquarters, I had to get rid of that bastard or make them cooperate, but I had to sacrifice Irene to do that.

To be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable. The problem is that the bastard’s power of madness is considerable when he tries to force it. On top of that, Irene unknowingly sided with me.

I mean, it’s heartbreaking. Mind.

But as expected… To wake up in an easy way…

Smart.

A knock was heard.

“Come in.”

It’s a video even if you don’t watch it. It must be Meerkant. He must have come to say something warm, such as asking for your understanding about the situation in the morning.

It wasn’t just for a day or two, it was like that for three days.

“Priest. I’m fine…”

“Junior.”

I glanced back. Irene, who had never visited me before, was there.

The way she leaned over and whispered was something I had never seen before.

“If you’re not busy, would you like a little walk?”

“……”

It’s a late night date.

What kind of change of heart?

. . .

Irene walked silently. It was no different that she found him before making a choice.

I just wanted to see it. A child who changed the church from small to puppet.

Unbefitting of his young age, he is an exceptionally talented child.

The moonlight was bright. The footsteps I turned around were shining brightly beneath them.

…You’ve come a long way.

Far indeed.

“Junior.”

“Yes?”

I saw him properly for the first time. The figure revealed under the moonlight was quieter than expected. He was calm and quiet, and, unlike usual, he didn’t say anything until he spoke first.

A child who can read the atmosphere. I thought all men were beasts in heat, but this guy was different. It didn’t come close if the study wasn’t connected, and it seemed like flattery, but the line was kept.

An apprentice priest.

Maybe he was the one who was most active in that line.

“…Zahard.”

I slipped the name into my mouth. Irene stopped walking. A rushing wind tickled her bangs.

“Is the church life worth living?”

“Well, isn’t it? Now that I’m full and my back is warm, I think I’m learning better.”

“I’m glad. You seem to have adjusted well.”

“I’m the type to adapt well wherever I go.”

Zahard scratched his head. Irene looked at him quietly.

“Do you still want to go to the church headquarters?”

“Of course. You’ve learned everything you can learn here. To be honest, I’m more interested in divine laws than doctrine. I want to learn more.”

“I know. Your junior’s talent is amazing.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been praised. I don’t think seniors praised me very often.”

“A day or so is fine.”

Irene looked up at the moon somewhat calmly. Bright.

She may be brighter than the sun. No, that went too far

For some reason, I laughed. With her mind clear, she seems to have nowhere else to go.

Yes.

Let’s not run away.

She turned to Zahard to make that decision.

“…I come from a fallen noble.”

The past that I didn’t tell anyone except Meerkant.

Irene looked at Zahard. She didn’t trust him or value him. She just said it because she wanted someone to hear her grievances.

The reason why she behaves like this.

I just didn’t want to let him make a stupid misunderstanding.

“I lost my parents when I was 12 years old. I was taken in by relatives, but from less fortunate circumstances. My only relative was a male, and he liked me very much. In a bad way, of course.”

It was probably from then.

All the creatures called men looked disgusting.

“I ran away. There were times when I entrusted myself to innkeepers because I had nowhere to go. There were some good owners, but they were few. Most of them asked for my body, and I ran away whenever that happened. .”

I wanted a sword.

I wanted power.

The strength to face the ugliness. However, there was a man she met before she learned how to be a mercenary.

I learned through him.

How to live without holding a sword.

“I met Priest Meerkant. He is the one who put a book on my heart when I wanted to take up a sword. He is my benefactor. He helped me to dream, and maybe I could decide my fate of becoming a mere prostitute with both hands. You are the one who saved me.”

“…So what?”

“What the priest wants is the revival of the church. He also wants to make atonement, and he wanted to take on the sins of the branch he belongs to alone. What kind of person do you think he is in the eyes of juniors?”

“Well, he’s a nice guy.”

Zahad shrugged his shoulders.

“He’s kind enough to be stabbed in the back.”

“That’s right, junior. And that kind of person sees you as the future of the church. To be honest, I don’t see you that much.”

He laughed out loud.

“To me, you’re just a shrewd and greedy person. You’re a pretty good cook, you’re smart, but you’re just as evil.”

“No, if you’re going to curse, just curse, and if you’re going to praise, just praise.”

“I can’t do that. I see you as the person I describe.”

Irene sighed.

“I don’t think you are the future of the Order. But if Priest Meerkant believes in you, then I believe in you too.”

“Is it faithfulness, or just repaying the favor?”

“I think I am breathing here because Ra looked over me. But personal greed always precedes. I… Am a person whose gratitude to the priest is greater than faith in Ra.” .”

Yes.

That is the conclusion she came to herself.

“I want you to go to the Church Headquarters and learn more. As Priest Meerkant believes, I want you to become the Church’s savior.”

“…You said earlier about my personality. You still make that choice?”

“Of course. You tend to be vicious, shrewd, and domineering at times, but…”

Irene smiled slightly.

“If the priest believes in you, I can believe in you too.”

“……”

Zahard didn’t say anything. Shrugging his shoulders, he closed his mouth again as he said something.

Continuing silence. His mouth slowly opened again.

“What’s the reason you suddenly say this? Is it confirmed that I’m going to the church headquarters?”

“Yes. Confirmed.”

“…What about the price? What can I do?”

“You don’t have to do anything. Just in time, you’ll be taken to the Church Headquarters.”

“But Priest Beverick Apprentice didn’t say anything?”

“He doesn’t have to worry about it. I’ll take care of it.”

“Senior, how do you know? I heard that it is impossible to dispatch an apprentice priest without the permission of Priest Beverick?”

“……”

There is only one way.

Sell your body.

In a way, it can be said to be the way of a prostitute. But if you can repay the favor with that.

If you can open up a child’s future, wouldn’t that also be the way to become a priest?

“…I will convince him.”

“How?”

“He is also an apprentice priest. Appeal to faithfulness and the door will be opened.”

“Can I talk to you? Is that possible?”

“It is possible.”

Irene looked at him calmly.

“Have you ever seen me lie?”

“…I don’t have one, but I think I’ve seen it for the first time.”

“I’m not lying.”

“Why are you doing this? Isn’t the price too high to be seen as repaying the favor?”

In retrospect, yes. However, Irene was able to understand the reason why she suddenly confided in Zahad in front of her eyes.

She looked at him for not a short time. She talked and studied together, and sometimes she was jealous and envious.

And at the end she thanked him.

She told him who completely changed the place that was like a gutter.

“…Well.”

Irene laughed involuntarily. Come to think of it, she already had something she lied to.

Meerkant did not believe as he believed him.

She just believed in him that she saw, that changed this church.

She knew how great it was, so she wanted to push his back as it was.

“Looks like you’ve become attached.”

“…….”

Zahard looked at himself. Then she suddenly asked.

“You don’t say points are deducted anymore?”

“There is no reason to deduct points, no points.”

“Are you worse than a bug now?”

“Deducted points are said, but added points are not said separately.”

“What is my score?”

“Sure.”

Irene turned around.

“Zahard. Be diligent. Always be diligent wherever you are. That’s all I want.”

. . .

My appetite was bitter.

She didn’t like it very much because she heard a story that was so bitter.

“Ac…”

I mean.

One-sided favors are not very welcome. It’s better to trade. Because if you have something to give and receive, you can get what you want comfortably.

But to be honest, simply accepting. If you think about it, isn’t it?

I lived a life of conquering or being conquered. To be honest, my previous life was eventful. It wasn’t easy at all, and there were a lot of frustrating things.

From noble mtl dot com

No one gave favors for free. So I didn’t trust anyone. Since I don’t trust people, others don’t trust me even more.

So I thought this life would be similar…

“They’re both easy to beat.”

I don’t want to believe that I only changed one church.

-Is there a problem?

“No.”

-If that’s your judgment.

I decided to just close my eyes and accept it. Yes what Wouldn’t that be the case?

Coming to think of it, I wasn’t the kind of business I was going to undertake. Couldn’t we just pretend we didn’t hear anything and go to the church headquarters?

It was rather good. The part I was worried about was resolved coolly.

The most important thing is to clear the world. Roughly clearing up all the corrupted people will eventually help Irene.

Yes!

That was all you had to do!

I whistled. I left Irene, who had returned first, and continued the night walk. As I walked, my thoughts were organized, and my complicated mind suddenly cleared.

Yeah what!

It’s Namil anyway, so what does it matter!

Let’s just ignore it! It worked out well, so this is it!

I went back to church. But unfortunately, I saw two men and women gathered in the garden.

“I knew you would make that decision.”

A gasping man and an expressionless woman.

“Keep your promises.”

“That’s what the wife-to-be says, of course. Don’t worry. I’ll send those worms straight to Church headquarters.”

Oops.

You were in the middle of a gig.

I have to get out of my way to go to the church headquarters! Things will work out for you!

Isn’t it all thanks to the kindness I’ve accumulated!

I turned my back on the garden. I heard a man’s whisper behind my back.

“It must be special that the first master is a gardener. Isn’t it?”

“…If you’re going to do it, I’d rather be in my room…”

“No way. Did you forget you agreed to obey me?”

…Hah.

“Let’s do it here. Here. I like it.”

You perverted bastard. Just go in and do it.

What the hell is outdoor play?

Whew. Should I get out of here quickly or not?

“Come on. Take off your top.”

…So here.

“Don’t forget the voice of the master.”

Leave like this…

“Obey, Irene.”

Leave…

Leave…

“You are mine.”

……

…

…Ah. f*ck.

“I just have to live like a dog.”

I laughed out loud. I turned around and went back to the garden.

Beverick, feeling the presence, was startled. Irene, who was halfway off her top, saw me and hurriedly straightened her dress.

I stood in front of them. Weberick burst into anger.

“What, what?! Don’t go away?!”

“Senior. There’s something I didn’t give you. I’ve been trying to give it to you all this time, but I forgot it.”

“…What is it?”

“What?”

I held out my hand. He slapped the boy on the cheek.

A gasp. Irene drew in a short breath.

Yes. f*ck.

As expected, I can’t just receive it. The dog is mad and wants it.

And I’ve been down too many times to just close my eyes and go to the Church Headquarters!

“It’s cheap, but how does it taste?”

“What the f*ck!”

“Shibaaar?”

This is not because of Irene.

Absolutely not.

“A man…Talks back?!”

I didn’t pay any attention! I just don’t like this bastard!
