9. Cut her back row!
Louise expressed her desire to test the “water” of the church members who had already arrived before the summit began, and I completely agreed. I was very concerned about the events happening to me that, while not dangerous scripts, were comparable to dangerous scripts .
Coincidentally, in the script, the church side also wanted to find us directly, even giving up the excellent opportunity for the saintess to make a speech in front of the cheering crowd at this moment to gain popularity. This way, I wouldn’t have to think too much: the saintess is just a puppet, and the church brought her here for ulterior motives.
Later that night, before the summit had even started, the church side rushed to invite Louise IV for an “early discussion.” Of course, Louise IV wouldn’t miss this opportunity that was practically handed to her, and she gladly accepted.
At this moment, our group was already waiting in a secret conference hall. Kephir, as a royal relative, naturally had no problem staying by her side. After the big shot changed into a beautiful dress, she was no longer a thug but a proper noble lady of the Great Yīng Empire! Niiice!
As for me, I was like Moriarty, serving as a helper beside the queen. Moriarty was an aide, while I was a bona fide priest with a priest’s certificate. The queen’s other trusted aides were also disguised and stationed in various places, showing that Louise IV was indeed taking precautions when dealing with strangers.
“You two hold onto the magic stones I gave you. Before saying anything, ask the queen first!”
Professor Moriarty began to solemnly hand out “devices” to Kephir and me, while Louise IV appeared to have no sense of crisis at all, even flashing me a meaningful smile, as if afraid Kephir wouldn’t see it!
“Kephir, O’Keefe, no need to be so nervous~ We are, after all, on home turf~ And if I guess correctly, they should…”
Just as I was about to say something, the queen suddenly sat up straight, her smile shining even brighter than usual, and I began to understand why Letty said she disliked Louise IV. Then, at the moment Moriarty used the magic stones to remind everyone in their minds…
【Everyone, keep your identity, the people from the church have arrived.】
The church side, the first to issue a wanted notice for Ouke Lide, and I didn’t know whether to be happy or angry, appeared in the script, right in front of me.
A team of people dressed in white robes, with or without pride or a haughty attitude, walked in, with one of them pretending to be a servant girl, but actually capable of killing off these people with a single slap. The queen’s guardian of the Daxia Empire, who was about to approach with a disguised greeting, was directly ignored by the other side.
【The church side has appeared!】
According to the script, these people are high-ranking members of the church, and their haughty behavior is not without reason. The church is located on a small territory, but has the most extensive followers, and even within the Daxia Empire, the queen’s popularity is already quite high. Many people who like the queen are also fans of the church, and the complex situation has raised the church’s prestige.
The reason is that the church has indeed had some prophets who can predict major events, although their level of prediction is no more than “You’ll have a bit of bad luck today, but I won’t tell you what kind of bad luck it is, and I don’t know myself.” This kind of technique is indeed impressive to ordinary people.
Most of the time, it is because of the saintly princess Ikusis, who is said to have truly mastered the power of prediction and has never made a mistake in predicting a major event.
The one in my line of sight, who is completely different from the haughty church members, is a silver-haired girl with a curious expression, almost to the point of being “dumb,” looking around in wonder, and her skirt is almost blowing away. She doesn’t even know how to defend herself.
【Saint Ikusis of the Church has the power of prediction, with no magical or physical power.】
Ah, so she’s just a status-enhancing accessory!
Moria Tati glared at me, and I quickly suppressed my chaotic thoughts.
“Wah, welcome, welcome!”
The next moment, Louisa IV began her usual “idol-like” performance, and I, who had always been on the receiving end, suddenly became her ally and discovered that there was a smart BOSS beside me, who could save me a lot of thought.
“Welcome to the church to our Daxia Empire, oh! I am the current queen of the Daxia Empire, Louisa IV.”
Louisa IV wanted to confirm whether the inside information I told her was true, so she also took a close look at the saintly princess Ikusis, who looked around in wonder, and put on a surprised expression.
“And, it’s unexpected! I’ve never seen a saint appear outside of the church before! Why have you, who usually stay closed off, come to our Daxia Empire this time?}”
The silver-haired girl, who was still in a daze, turned her head to answer, but…
was suddenly blocked by someone else.
“It’s because this time it’s so important, and we need the saint to attend the ‘peak conference’! Saint Ikusis, am I right?”
A yellow-haired young man, dressed in a luxurious priestly robe, forcibly pushed the saintly princess to the back. Unfortunately, this is not what I would call a “flower guard” or “hero saves the beauty,” but rather a behavior of being afraid of the saint saying something wrong.
“Ah… yes, yes!”
After the saint’s silly response, the man looked at Louisa IV with a hint of anger, saying, “Your Majesty, the queen, the church prohibits anyone from casually talking to the saint, and if the saint says something, it may become a prophecy . Please be careful!”
“Sorry, Your Majesty, I’ve always had the church handle the meetings, and I’ve never seen the saint before. I’m too excited! Saint Ikusis, I’m your private fan! Can we go shopping together afterwards? “
“Your Majesty! The saint can’t leave our protection, or what if the prophecy becomes real?”
The man interrupted the saint’s words again, blocking Louisa IV’s thoughts.
The script has already revealed the truth!
【The man is lying!】
And, isn’t this convenient? There’s no such ability in the script.
However, after I took a closer look, I realized that this man reminded me of someone. Because his script reminded me of something long forgotten!
【The Church Patriarch is afraid that Ouke Lide has discovered the secret and has tried to kill Ouke Lide!】
This person…
【Your Majesty, he is the one I remember who exploited the power of the Saintess.】
The Archbishop of the Church, if I recall correctly, it was he who took advantage of the Saintess! After I discovered this, I simply wanted to remind the Saintess, but due to my youthful naivety and carelessness at the time, it led to the exposure of the situation and the emergence of an increasingly sinister death script.
【I see, looking at it this way, your words do carry a bit more credibility.】
With a face showing the distress of a “failed invitation,” while pleading and acting coy, the words from the Queen that reached my heart were completely serious, contrasting sharply with her current demeanor.
I secretly decided that if I could avoid being an opponent of Louis IV, I absolutely would—this was too horrifying!
【Do you want me to help you get rid of him? O’Keefe.】
【No, thanks!】
【Sister Wang! Don’t flirt with him!】
