I am the Monarch

------------------------------------

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed.

There was tension in the dining room that was full of fun and happy atmosphere.

"Yes, you are not afraid of Devesis!"

Cardinal Herbert forcefully squeezed out his voice and cried out.

The man who pressed the green robe snorted.

"Hm. Devesian god?"

He whispers in a small but confident voice.

"I don't believe in god Devesis."

You pull the rope deeply pressed into your left hand.

A face that shows out of the world for a moment.

"Ah!"

Everyone looked surprised with their eyes wide open.

The owner of the green robe was not a man.

Pointed ears and white skin.

Smart nose and red lips.

Beautiful appearance that is impressed at the moment you see it.

"Elves?"

Herbert frowns.

I heard that the Elves who disappeared after the war 500 years ago joined Roan's camp.

But it didn't bother me in particular.

Because the Elves have never shown up in a place other than the battlefield.

Herbert's face hardens.

"Elves believe in Freya, not Devesis..."

Unlike humankind, there was a god who believed in God in the beginning.

It was meaningless for those elves to scream and punish them in the name of Devesis.

'Damn it.'

Herbert rolls his eyes around quickly.

Munk and the priests were motionless.

It was such a sudden situation.

Right then.

"Raham, step back."

A soft voice flows in the wind.

The protagonist of the voice was Roan.

He shifts slowly, smiling blurrily.

With a sword to Herbert's throat, Laham hesitates for a moment, then retreats.

Very polite and polite.

Are the Elves following Roan's orders? '

Herbert frowns as he strokes his cold neck.

It was hard to understand that the proud elves would listen to human commands.

In fact, the relationship between Roan and the Elves was very complicated and subtle.

Elves typically live much longer than humans.

Just by looking at the age numbers, it means that the Elves, including Laham, are much older than Roan.

But Roan was also the husband of Ficis, the Queen of the Elves.

Neither of them can treat each other lightly.

In the end, Roan naturally honored the Elves with the will to honor them, and the Elves decided to treat him as an adult of the tribe, calling him Ordin, meaning Commander.

Of course, the tall elves did not make this decision simply because Roan is Ficis' man.

Roan was the most powerful man in the world, and he was completely different from the rest of the world.

In short, Roan was a reliable monarch even though the Elves saw him.

Raham bows slightly as Roan approaches.

Roan nods slightly, then looks at Herbert with a bold look.

His eyes looked very soft and relaxed.

But...

'Hmm.'

Herbert swallows a dry saliva without even knowing it.

I was choking.

Just before the sword touched my neck, I felt a completely different kind of pressure wrapped around my body.

'Is this the Roan Lancefield…..'

Much more powerful than rumors.

I felt a mist in one eye.

My head keeps turning and my eyes keep falling down.

'No. I am the Lion of the Holy See.'

I couldn't keep my tail down like this.

Herbert opens his eyes deliberately, with his fists burning.

"Earl Lancefield. It's an honor to meet you."

I felt a slight tremor in my voice.

"Stupid….."

I was annoyed with myself.

He bites his teeth tightly.

"Kneel down and receive the Holy Land."

I empowered my voice on purpose.

I am the Lion of the Holy See! The Lion of the Holy See! '

Encouraged myself.

Roan smiles bitterly as he glances at Herbert.

'Holy Shrine.......'

In fact, the relationship between the Holy See and the empires and kingdoms of the continent was very complicated.

On the surface, both forces appeared to respect each other and be indifferent.

But the reality was completely different.

Most empires and kingdoms now designated the Devesian Church as their own, and the majority of the continents also believed in the Devesian Church.

Royal Family and Nobles, Commoners and Slaves.......

They were all Devesian believers.

Thanks to this, the most powerful place on the continent is publicly known as the Holy Shrine, not the Estonian Empire or the Lucian Empire.

In empires and kingdoms where Devesian religions were unified, the first thing to get formal permission from the Holy See was to ascend to the throne or the throne.

It was because he thought that the kingdom and the kingdom would come from God.

In fact, the Holy Spirit reigns on the throne and on the throne.

Of course, the power of the Devesian Church and the Holy Church was not great from the beginning.

Devesis Church, based on the Estonian Empire, was one of several religions on the continent.

About 500 years ago, when the war against the Elves began, everything changed.

Humans that had been divided into different empires and kingdoms needed a new and hard reason to fight the Elves.

At that time, Devesian Church held the Estia Empire on its back and went to the front.

The god Devesis, whom they believed in, was a god that the Elves believed in, so they stood at the crossroads of religion as well.

It was the right conditions for warfare in many ways.

Humans gathered under the name of god Devesis and waged war against the Elves.

The war, which lasted more than a decade, ended with the victory of the human race, and Devesian Church became the continent's greatest religion.

Devesian church was reborn as the Holy Shrine and became the most powerful authority on the continent.

After that, there were many large and small splashes, but Devesian Church and the Holy Church never lost their power once.

Then, about 80 years ago, a big incident happened.

Currently, the United Kingdom of Aymas destroyed the Temples of Devesian Church and banished the priests from the country when the Kingdom of Claude declared the Church of Tellian instead of Devesian Church.

At the time of the outrage, the Holy Father Orca ordered all the empires and kingdoms of the continent to march against the realm of Claude.

A nation believing in Devesian religion did not oppose the Holy Land, but united against each other and attacked the kingdom of Claude.

At that time, the Allied forces were called the Holy See soldiers.

The Kingdom of Claude continued its desperate struggle against a large coalition, an army unlimited in history, but eventually lost miserably.

The Holy See, which had won the war, cut the kingdom of Claude into dozens of nations, large and small, that were once a powerful nation in the eastern part of the continent and made some of them a loose form of coalition.

That was the Islas coalition today.

Since then, the authority and power of the Church of Devesis and the Holy See has become stronger, and the empire and kingdom of the continent have fallen into the hands of the Holy See.

At the same time, however, the people of the former Claude Kingdom were scattered across the eastern continents, creating an opportunity for the Church to expand its power in the middle of the sky.

Thanks to the Grain Mountains' origins, the west was dominated by Devesian believers, and the east was increasingly popular among the common people and slaves.

Nevertheless, it was nothing compared to the age of the church of Devesis, and it was the reality that they bought themselves to avoid religious trials.

"Whew."

Roan blows away complex thoughts and looks back at Herbert.

"Today is the most precious and meaningful wedding ceremony of my life."

Bold voice.

"The Holy Shrine of the Holy Shrine will receive it after the work is done."

It was a complete rejection.

"That's wh..."

Herbert tries to scream with a look of nonsense.

But Roan was one step faster than that.

"I'll arrange a place for you near the royal palace. Next time, let's formally say hello."

At the same time, the Taoists came as if they were waiting to shake their fingers.

That number was over 20.

"Poetry, jest with the gods, despise them and be safe!"

Herbert sighs as he steps back.

At that, Roan smiles blurrily.

"Did I mock and despise God? Or......."

Both eyes sparkled and glowed.

"Is that the Holy Shrine?"

"Well, it's......."

Herbert was momentarily stunned and unable to speak.

Roan shakes his hand lightly with a still hazy smile.

The paladins stand in front of Herbert.

"We'll walk you through it."

Strong face and voice.

"Hnng."

Herbert shakes his head with an uncomfortable and unpleasant look.

I wanted to make more noise, but the decor atmosphere was not too good.

"Unholy. Unholy! '

Even though they knew they were the Lion of the Holy See, guests in the dining hall were throwing unpleasant, cool gazes.

Only some of the nobles and authorities stood politely and bowed their heads.

This is why we can't let the Eastern Bloc do this! '

Herbert kicks his tongue out loud.

But I didn't intend to hold my place anymore.

'Let's step back for now. It's not just today.......'

I could have been decapitated by an Elven blade while placing more flags.

'You can't just die in vain.'

It was his life that mattered as much as religion.

'In order to do the will of the Holy Father, I must preserve my life completely.'

Herbert.

Unfortunately, he has not been able to calculate the will of the Holy Father Veldrica.

"Hmph! Hmph!"

He blew a big cough and left the palace with the priests and monks.

"Yi, are you going to back off like this?"

"You must punish the ignorant."

The priests and monks shudder and shake their hands.

Herbert shakes his head, telling me not to say anything.

Soon, a crowd of uninvited people disappeared.

"Whew."

"Ah."

Relief sighs and elasticity flow from here and there.

Roan stands still until he can't see Herbert's back, then steps back up onto the platform.

"Are you sure about this?"

She asks with a slightly alarmed look.

Roan smiles brightly, telling you not to worry.

"It's okay. I've already taken care of it."

Roan Lancefield and Veldrica.

The Kingdom of Amaranth and the Holy See.

I had no choice but to confront Io Lancefield.

Due to Herbert's sudden visit, the wedding ceremony concluded in an uproar.

I originally planned a banquet with the members, but I changed my plans to a simple meal as the situation was a situation.

Instead, a countermeasure meeting with the ministers was held between the Holy Shrine Lion and the Holy Ground.

That's why the king also made Mediahn Castle hot.

"What? So the banquet was suddenly canceled because of the Lion of the Holy See?"

"I know. There was a commotion."

"He said he totally ruined the moment."

"Tsk. Why did the Lion of the Holy See arrive on time......."

The saints gathered together and kicked their tongues with a sad expression.

Most people complained when they blamed the Lion of the Holy See.

Never in the western part of the Grain Mountains.

No, there are only a few places in the east where we can complain so publicly about the Holy See.

This was all due to a special situation at Mediacis Castle.

Originally, the king was a very small town in the Wasteland where there was nothing at Mediacis Castle.

Later, as the war continued, difficult and poor people gathered all over the kingdom and could become a large castle of this size.

Since the majority of the Seongsun were outsiders and all were difficult and difficult, they were strong enough to stick together and overcome difficulties with each other.

Particularly against the Devesian Church, which was favorable to royalty, nobles, authorities and codes.

That doesn't mean I believe in the Church of Tellian.

Only that the Church of Devesis has less influence than any other part of the kingdom.

"Tsk. On a good day like today......."

"Wait a little longer and come back."

You hear the sound of kicking your tongue around.

At that time, a distant looking young man frowned and asked in a slightly louder voice.

"But isn't it bad if you do this wrong?"

Suddenly, people around you frown.

"What are you talking about?"

"What's the big deal?"

The young man pretended to think for a moment and replied in a loud voice.

"The Holy See does not recognize the establishment of the Kingdom of Amaranth and the immunity of the king."

Everyone nodded because everything that happened at the ceremony today was known.

His voice grew louder and louder.

Now I've listened to his story, even to those who filled the streets.

"What if the Holy See continues to deny our kingdom of Amaranth? What would you do if the Holy Land this time told you to come down from the throne yourself?"

"Oh no......."

People shake their heads, shaking their hands.

My face reminded me that I didn't want to imagine it.

Then the young man looked even more serious.

"No way. Think about it, Cardinal Devesis, did you attend the priests at the King's funeral? No, and honestly, where did the last time we fought the Liberation Army, the Estonian Empire and the Northern Rhine Empire united and attacked our king? Where?"

A storm of questions came up.

People's faces darken.

"It was the Holy Shrine….."

"Yes, you did."

"By the way, this marriage declaration was also made by family members, not priests."

Later, people realized that things were unusual.

"W-what if we don't acknowledge our kingdom and His Majesty from the Holy See to the end?"

"Do you really have to come down from the throne?"

"Back to the days of the Rhine Kingdom?"

The people were greatly shaken.

They shake their heads with their teeth.

"I can't do that."

"There's no going back to that horrible time."

The atmosphere became hot.

"Not like this."

"You can't take away our monarch."

"I've only just gained weight......."

His voice became a shout.

"Let's go find the Lion of the Holy See!"

"Let us convey our will!"

"Make sure we know who the country and the monarch are that we really want!"

"Yes! Let us proclaim our purpose to the Lion of the Holy See!"

It was naive.

It was innocent.

The saints thought that the Holy Father was mistaken because they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

People moved their feet, raising their hands high.

The destination is a mansion near the royal palace.

It was the mansion where Cardinal Herbert stayed.
