From most of the Great Temple, the signs of man disappeared.
The sound of Riesch's shoes in her dress echoes in a quiet hallway.
I looked at the nearest cathedral from the guestroom building, but it was also unattended.Until yesterday, the bishops who prayed to the goddess and the monks who were chased to prepare for the festival were busy with each other.
(There is no one. Miriam and Jonal as well as His Highness Arnold and Oliver)
I wonder if he's headed for the cathedral.
The ritual of the festival forbids the attendance of the general believer.With or without exception, Arnold should not be able to approach the cathedral.
(Why are you having a heartbeat?)
Running down the corridor to the cathedral, Rieschetto tied his crotch.
(The future "Emperor Arnold Hein" burns down churches and priests.As long as His Highness Arnold is still alive, he will not be indifferent to his congregation.... but why did you order me to keep the congregation away?)
In the first place, there must be a reason to turn the Order into an enemy in the future.
In my past life, I thought it would simply get in the way.
The Church has great power and serves as a base for people all over the world.For the ruler, it is only an obstacle, and there is no reason to miss it.
(I'm sure that's just one reason.)
Far away, a bell rang to announce the beginning of the festival.
The next moment Richie grabbed the hem of the dress as she hurried to the cathedral.
"Nh, Leo!!"
……
The boy jumped out in front of her and Riesch somehow stopped.
Leo, who appeared, looked straight at Riesch opposite him.
(I really didn't hear any footsteps.On the contrary, even the signs...!)
I snorted my throat.
Leo seeped vigilantly as he watched Richie.
"... are you going to the cathedral?"
"Yes, because the festival is about to begin?"
Then Leo brings his eyebrows close together.
Arnold Hein offered the Archbishop an urgent meeting.
"His Highness Arnold? But he did just before the festival...."
"You have the nerve to use the contract anyway.The Order says, "If Garchain offers a meeting, I can't refuse it."
When she was told something unexpected, Rieschett rounded her eyes.
(Is there such a contract between the church and Garchain?)
Seeing Leo's reaction, Leo snorts.
"I knew you didn't know."
(... no matter how many contracts there are, they won't take precedence over the festival ceremony.His Highness Arnold's aim is not really to have a meeting.....)
Rieschett blushed.
(... letting the church commit a 'breach of contract'?)
That was a conclusion that was almost certain.
(I don't know what will happen if I break the contract.But perhaps His Highness Arnold used it as an excuse to celebrate.....)
I have a bad feeling about this. I'm crawling up my spine.
Regardless, Emperor Arnold Hein thought that Leicher's familiar nineteen-year-old Arnold would not inadvertently antagonize the Order.
But that assumption may be different in the first place.
Garkhein and the Church have some sort of agreement.
The more the congregation breaks it, the easier Arnold moves.Perhaps he was aiming for the situation and offered a meeting that could not be achieved.
(On top of that, there is legitimacy attached to Lord Arnold's actions.--As long as he helps Miss Miriam...!!)
To protect the life of the Witch Princess from the Order.
As long as such justice exists, the faithful around the world will be on Arnold's side.
(His Highness Arnold is a gentle man.... that's why you can behave impudently to protect something)
He's definitely trying to help Miriam to fulfill Riesch's wish.
--That's it, use whatever means you can.
"I have to go...."
We need to help Miriam.
That's why we can't let Arnold imitate us.
I didn't want to think that it was a mistake to ask him for help, but my indiscretion was painful.
Leo's tiny body stood in front of Riesch, who tried to rush ahead.
"No, stay away from the cathedral."
"Leo...."
"I can't help but warn you because you can't leave me alone.If you're on Arnold Hein's side, you can't miss it. "
……
Filled with sadness, Riesch squeezed her hands.
"... I can't be on Lord Arnold's side."
"Thank you for worrying, Leo.... but I'm sorry. "
Tell him straight.
"Even if I become his enemy, there are things I have to do beside him."
"... I'm giving you some advice...!!"
A tiny body jumped in front of Riesch, who was about to run away.
She was about to be grabbed by her wrist and Rieschett quickly dodged it.I took a step back and tried to get enough distance from Leo to breathe.
In the meantime, Leo quickly jumped in.
(Fast!!)
He didn't even have time to round his eyes, and Leo's hand was stretched out on his neck.The moment you grab the dress, turn around and take it off.
I was about to be grasped again, but I put a light blow on my wrist.Leo, who was hit by Rieschetto, stands aside.
"... you're really a bad substitute.If you move like that, you'll soon find out you're not a real princess. "
"Are you enough pretending to be a normal kid?"
"There's no point against you.Watching people's movements, just paying attention to places they don't want to be noticed, you bastard! "
I was packed in time at once, and I dodged it at the moment.
Leo won't stop chasing.I thought I grabbed Riesch's arm, and the moment I dodged it, I paid my feet.The moment Rieschett avoided it and turned her back, she jumped back into her pocket.
(I can't even breathe...!)
Thinking about it, the enemy was always bigger than Riesch.
Like Leo, I have less experience with people smaller than myself.For that reason, it's different from usual, and it's a trick.
(This speed, if you get a little distracted, you'll get tangled up in that moment!!)
Reach out, avoid it, and use body surgery to play away.
I tried to find a way through Leo's side, but I was trampled into the moment.Leo's still thin and supple arms are approaching to capture Riesch.
"......!"
