The Grand Prince Has Run Away

“I'm here to see Ser Burg now. ”

The paladin's face was very unfamiliar, but he waved his hands like a match for my words.

“No one will ever see Lord Burg again. ”

“Why?”

“I'm in a panic right now. ”

“Lacrimation?”

“For disobeying an order to the Central Church. ”

I snorted.

Despite Ser Yosrahim's conflict, he was unable to comprehend the actions of the central Church ordinancers who had abolished him during this time.

Lord Burg is now in the field, overseeing all troops within the Cult of Light.

“Fight or die. ”

“Yes?”

“No. Anyway, I need to see you. Lead the way. ”

“No. ”

“Then let me know upstairs first. It's not for you to decide. ”

“You can't do that. ”

I put my tongue to the stubbornness of the paladin.

I don't know if they're ignorant or big, but no one can say no to me, and this one does.

“You're gonna regret this. I'm very close to Ser Burg now. So I don't know what to do if I'm worried. ”

“Are you threatening me? ”

“No, I'm doing this for you. If I get angry about this, Archbishop Grander will kill you to get me out of it. ”

The paladin stammers.

“Why?”

“A million troops from the Yosrahim Empire will come this way if I give the order. It'll be worth a look. It would be spectacular. ”

“Yes?”

Then a woman's voice came from behind me.

“Let me in.”

The paladin hurriedly approached her.

She was only Princess Ignes.

“But in the Central Church, nobody · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“That's exactly what he said. If he says a word, there are a million troops from the Yosrahim Empire. ”

“Who the hell is that? ”

“Jan Sergio Carr. He was once the Duke of Karl, but now he is the ruler of the Empire. Maybe he's the master of more places. ”

The paladin's face bleached white.

I guess you've heard of me.

“Then why are you walking all the way here? ”

“Maybe it's because it's not an official visit. Whether it's because of my relaxed personality or my confidence that no one can hurt me, I usually do it alone. ”

“Well, is it? ”

“Yes, so just put it on the top and get permission. They'll understand up there. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

As the paladin hurriedly leaves, Princess Ignes slowly approaches me.

Her eyes were filled with suspicion.

“Grand Duke Jan. Why are you here in Divinum Sanctuary? ”

“I have plans. Why?”

“It's ironic, by chance. Where the Grand Duke is, there's always a gust of blood, and so is Divinum. ”

I avoided the gaze of the stabbed in my heart.

She's been experiencing me for a long time, and now she's a complete idiot.

“That's enough. Let's stop. I'm not here to fight you. I'm just here to see Lord Burg now. ”

“Why Ser Burg now? ”

I entered the war instead of Divinum without having to go through the process.

“We're friends. ”

“How long have you two known each other? ”

“A long time ago. I think there was a princess there, too. ”

Well, she was there, too.

As hostages.

“Oh, what a strange fate. ”

“It's strange that there's a human connection. Then why is the princess here? Since we've declared war on Lumen in the Kingdom of Caligo, Princess, aren't you busy too? ”

Princess Ignes stood beside me and walked.

“Not really. Someone made a meaningless declaration of war. ”

“Well, you don't have to thank me. ”

“I have no gratitude. The Grand Duke has put my Lumen Kingdom and my mother in a very difficult position. ”

“No, why? ”

“You turned my father into darkness. And he's doing a lot of civil war in the Caligo Kingdom. ”

I had a very unfair face.

It's never my fault as much as it is mine.

He's just picking up Phil by himself and throwing a tantrum with Burst.

“His actions are due to domestic discord in your family. ”

“Do you really think so? Your father's participation in the Civil War is benefiting the Grand Duke greatly. ”

“Of course it has to be, but does a person always make a move with benefits? It moves with emotion. I don't want to see that elf. So please take her. ”

Princess Ignes narrows her eyes.

“Isn't it really your fault? ”

“Yeah. It's really unfair about that guy. I'm a victim, too."

“Then I'm sorry. ”

I begged Princess Ignes to forgive me as if I had enough sympathy for what I said.

He couldn't have known what his father was like as a daughter.

I looked at Princess Ignes.

“Never mind that. What are you doing here? ”

“To stop the war. ”

“This is useless. Just go back.”

Princess Ignes' face distorts sharply.

“It's a war where so many people die. We must stop it. ”

“So you stopped him? ”

“That's... ”

“A war with many reasons and many benefits. If the war had stopped at any cost, I wouldn't have come this far. ”

“But we have to do our best. ”

I sighed loudly.

“That's the problem with you guys. Can't you think a little deeper and act? ”

“Yes?”

“This war is a war of justice and destruction of evil. If you stop this war, the world will continue to deal with evil. This is crazy.”

Princess Ignes looks stunning.

“No. A war where people die is a terrible thing. ”

“So public power is also evil? The state will imprison criminals for security purposes and, in extreme cases, will be executed. Why don't you stop them? There are crimes happening all over the world. ”

“That's not the same as this war. ”

“It's the same. Getting justice. Honestly, he's a criminal. The state can punish him, but if the state asks, who will punish him? If Divinum Sanctuary is corrupted, who will punish it? ”

The state is more powerful than anything else.

So there was only one solution if the country was corrupt.

Turn to war or civil war.

But the place of Divinum Sanctuary was so peaceful that it could never be desecrated, and the Central Church was endlessly corrupted in this comfort box.

“Of course it's a way to punish, of course it's not, but there's also a way to improve things with faith and morality, right? ”

I made a ridiculous face.

Destroy evil with faith and morality and improve corruption? There's no more ridiculous shit in the world.

“You're being naive. Faith and morality are the culprits that make the world evil. ”

“Yes?”

“Then let me ask you something. There's a very good merchant. There is a very evil merchant. When you two compete in business, who wins? ”

“Yes · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“You must be a wicked merchant. Why? Good merchants do bad things because of their moral values, and evil merchants don't hesitate. And the public that saw this example thought, It has to be evil to succeed. And those masses are going to create a world that we're all used to. Evil must succeed.

The world. ”

“So?”

“If useless moral precepts kill the good and let the evil prevail, do not be careless about your faith and morality. A meaningful moral code only comes with punishments so clear that everyone's actions are guaranteed. ”

They say this, but they make the world even worse if the law is not guaranteed to do so.

That is why it is better not to create a law unless we have the authority to clearly identify and punish criminals.

The wicked will be defeated by those who do not keep the law.

I keep staring at the silent Princess Ignes.

“And that's what this temple is all about. A war to destroy the wicked. It's the same context as the penalty for power. ”

“Then who's going to wield that power? ”

I scratch my nose against Princess Ignes.

I am amazed that you are now abandoned to wield that power.

“I'm on my way. Anyway, this human is too good a problem. I don't know why you bother with something as simple as just embracing the times and wielding a sword. This is all because of your moralists. Why are we stopping good people's behavior with moral codes and creating a war that will end easily? Oh, my God."

Honestly, if Lord Burg had not hesitated on moral standards, this would not have been a temple.

I want him to draw his sword and kill everyone involved in this.

* * *

When Princess Ignes and I visited, Ser Burg now came out of an abandoned room with an awkward face.

Sitting across the table, he looks at Princess Ignes and says to me,

“Hmph. Were you two good enough to visit together? ”

I answered bluntly.

“Don't make fun of me. ”

“I'm curious as to whether the hostage and the hostage are traveling together. ”

“I have a lot of questions too. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“The hostage comes here, and the power of the government is abandoned. Interesting world, isn't it? ”

Lord Burg nods now.

“That's what I heard. How in the world did this happen? ”

“What? You didn't draw your sword. ”

Now Ser Burg understood my meaning and stared at him.

“I swore to protect this sanctuary. ”

“Then you should have defeated Bishop Yosrahim. ”

“My conscience won't allow it. ”

“Is that why you're doing nothing with that power? Don't you think you're being a little indecisive? ”

“What?"

I looked out the window and said,

“Let me ask you a question. Who do you think will win against the Central Church? ”

“Your side will win. ”

“Yes. Those I support will win. But does the winning side really change the world for the right reasons? ”

Now Ser Burg snorts.

“They're the same. There's no right chin to change. ”

“Funny. There's a lot of blood in the war, but the world hasn't changed? I've never had a more lucrative trade. Then, why does the sky do such a losing business? Do you have any idea what that means? like a third party who's going to change the world, making plans. ”

“Who? ”

“Well, maybe you're in it. ”

Lord Berg now stared out the window at the sky, not interested in what I had to say.

“And then?”

“What?”

“All I know is a knife. That's why you don't know politics. If I become the center of the Church, the Church will never change. ”

“Who told you to be the head? Even if you ask me to, I won't. What do you trust with a knife that only has a conscience for? No country would do such a crazy thing. ”

Ser Burg has now responded with a bold response.

“You know better. Well, I guess we should stop talking nonsense and just go back, huh? ”

“But it could be a knife in someone's waist. ”

“Who the hell is that? ”

“That priest I told you about before. ”

Now Ser Burg looks back at me.

“Oh, that nine-cycle Bible guy? ”

Princess Ignes stared at me in haste.

The appearance of a nine-cycle saint was a big event within the Church.

Since history was recorded, a nine-week saint has appeared in the world three or four times, and each time, the Church was reborn as a sacred group that was revered by all people after the Dark Ages.

Moreover, Princess Ignes stopped at a five-cycle paladin.

Of course, his teachings were desperate.

“Grand Duke, did you really appear in the world of the nine-cycle saint? ”

“Uh, Katrina should know by now. I would have felt it if I'd come here. ”

“Then you must be in Divinum Castle? ”

“Yeah. That was here before Divinum. ”

Princess Ignes tried to question him more, but she hurriedly left and now she can't open her mouth to Lord Berg.

“Who the hell are you? ”

“You're an old man. Probably top of the class, in that order. ”

“Tendency?”

“I used to be a theorist, but I grew up experiencing all kinds of difficulties. ”

“You know the world well? ”

“You know, you've been up for nine cycles. ”

“You must be a wise man. ”

“Yes, occasionally. If there's just a problem, I don't care about the world. ”

“But you're here, aren't you? ”

“Yes, that's right. I'm here because I want to do something. ”

“What's going on? ”

“Saving the world. ”

Now Ser Burg snaps his chin.

“I'm not interested in world history, but do you want to save the world? ”

“That's what we do. I don't want to bother you, but I have no choice but to. It's nice to see a spinning cock. ”

“Really?"

I said, getting up from my seat.

“Think carefully. If you don't step up, he won't make it. I don't have a knife. Of course there's one that's okay, but it's not a proper knife. It's a troop of mercenaries and cunts, so I'm frustrated. ”

“The Book of Salvation? ”

“Yeah, but not you, right? It's a very nice knife to kick in the side. ”

“I see what you mean. ”

I opened the door to the visiting room and said,

“Anyway, that's all I can say. When the Lord rises, there will be opportunities to change the Church. Of course, if you don't step up, you're going to have to make a big sacrifice. Then, which direction did the sky prepare? As a watcher, I'm curious. Then let's make a good bet. Well done.”

I stepped out of the viewing room and took a quick look at Ser Burg's face.

A very good sign.

Unlike so far, he was looking at me with an anticipated face.
