Chapter 293 – The Levantine Empire (2)
Although it is said to be eye candy, the reaction of people who encountered the miracle of righteous light was dramatic.
It wasn’t a problem, but the people who tried to get in as quickly as possible by using bribes split left and right and got out of the way.
The guards who are supposed to guard the gate open the gate wide. They even laid down their weapons and greeted us with a reverent attitude.
It is said that it is a world in which God exists, but in the past 300 years, there have been very few cases where God has directly revealed his power.
Or is it because there are many people who believe in the righteous light in the Levantine Empire?
Everyone reacted very strongly.
And Helena’s reaction was also furious.
“… Shame on you!”
A guard’s resting place built near the city gates. Sitting in her improvised high chair, Helena stamped her feet.
“I am so ashamed, brother!”
“No way. You said that, but just a moment ago, you blessed each and every member of the guard.”
“That’s because I’m thankful and sorry for completely stepping aside for us!”
Yes. We borrowed the name of the righteous light and passed through the castle gate in an instant, but we were staying here for a while instead of heading straight to the imperial palace.
This is also a process of showing one’s own courtesy.
Although we came without notice, we came as guests, not as an invasion of the Levantine Empire.
The proof is that you announce that you have come and wait patiently in front of the door to meet you… Means.
As long as God’s name is upheld, this side can’t be rash, but the other side won’t be able to take us lightly either.
It must have been a perfect gesture that properly showed the cause and power of this side…
“What are you so upset about, Helena?”
“What is your complaint, you asked? Are you really asking because you don’t know, brother?!”
When I tilted her head, Helena stood up in tears. And the lamentation that followed like a rapid-fire cannon.
“If you were thinking of doing this, wouldn’t it be okay if you told me in advance? Is it your preference to ostracize the righteous Kwangmyeong-nim, brother-nim, and me? I also need to prepare my mind!”
“I just thought of that, so even the righteous Kwangmyeong wouldn’t have known…”
“Is that important now?”
“… Oh no. Please continue.”
Helena let out a sigh, spread her arms wide, and began to wander about.
As if reenacting when I lifted myself up.
“Posture! How was your posture! It was nice that you hugged me when I couldn’t fly! But it’s not like some animal boasts of its children… Did you really have to hear that? In front of that many people?!”
“Has my master always heard me that way?”
“When adults are talking, children should not interfere.”
“Uh, kid…”
Iris, who slipped in but couldn’t even get her money back, staggered. Elisha hugged her tightly and patted her, but she looked more like a mite.
Elisha must have had the same thought, but she couldn’t bear to deny Helena’s words and only repeated that she was okay.
Well, Helena said in a voice that softened her spirit even more as she was sorry for what she had said.
“… No matter how much it is between me and my brother, we must keep a certain level of goodness. At least, please consult me before doing something like this. The same is true of the righteous Kwangmyeong. Anyway, it’s not what I do with my body. Just because I went over the fact that I joined with you the other day doesn’t mean I can do anything with my body.”
As she added her last words, the lion’s ears and tail drooped.
Her Solari was understandably depressed, but Helena did not soothe her Solari, perhaps because she was determined.
I couldn’t help but feel restless and my eyes were wandering in the air.
For some reason, she got mad at herself and she nodded her head as she looked at Helena, who was most anxious about her.
“Hmm… So, what Helena is saying is that if there is anything big to be done in the future, she will tell you in advance and ask for advice if possible?”
“You’re right. I am the future brother’s wife, and I know that this work is important, so of course I am willing to help. If only it was done in a slightly different way!”
“Then what would you like me to do?”
“… Yes?”
“Because it has already been said, in this situation, Helena is what she wanted her to do.”
Hearing that, Helena hesitated for a moment, staring into the void, contemplating something of her own, and then she cautiously reached out her hand.
“Ooh, please take her hand first.”
“Like this?”
“Yes… Well done. No matter how righteous she is, even if the light takes the form of a lion, she is not lifted up like a lion cub. Let her appear hand in hand like this from now on.”
Helena nodded as she blushed as he took her hand. It is so blatant that she secretly touches her hand and fills her selfishness.
Seeing that her half-folded ears are pricked up and her tail is wagging lightly, it seems that her solari is also enjoying herself.
The god and the saint show an easy-to-understand reaction with the set.
It took a moment for her to nod her head inside her. Remembering her original purpose, Helena cleared her throat and continued her words.
“Hmmmm. Then, next.”
“What next?”
“If you just hold hands and appear, there will be no impact. Of course, illuminating the surroundings with the light of the Lord is a beautiful sight in itself…”
“It will be difficult to keep using it. Humans are animals of adaptation.
“Exactly. Those who see it for the first time will be in awe, but those who have seen it many times will be a little appalled. We need your help here.”
“Me?”
“Yes. I’m adding a little bit of direction with my brother’s magic. Hey, how about sticking together like this and secretly using magic behind my back?”
Helena gently brought her body close to hers, took her hand, and caressed her back and waist.
At this point, shouldn’t it be considered that the pouting has been completely resolved?
Iris was still hurt, though she rubbed her face against Elisha’s chest and put on a relaxed expression.
… You’re hurt right? Aren’t you just having fun?
Anyway, it took a while to match up with Helena, who was sneakily trying to make skinship like that.
As she stayed attached, she was able to watch Helena’s face a little more closely than usual.
A slightly flushed face. Moist pale pink lips. Eyes that are the same color as blonde hair, shining like sunlight.
She stared blankly as if half-bewitched, and Helena, feeling that gaze, turned around.
It was just that her eyes met, the distance remained the same, but somehow it felt like we got a little closer.
Was she swept away by a strange atmosphere? Helena lifted her tiptoe with a slightly hazy expression.
Just before her lips met.
Smart smart
“Huh!”
Helena jumped away at the sound of a knock outside her.
Of course, her startled face showed deep regret, and Solari, who was watching from inside her, was dissatisfied. Her ears and tail swayed wildly.
However, if she was to visit at this timing, she must have been sent from the imperial palace. She can’t keep waiting.
Helena, who instantly put on a saintly appearance by adjusting her expression, answered the knock.
“Come in.”
Profit.
A door that opens as soon as Helena’s horse runs out. The moment we saw the face of the lion who came to visit us, everyone’s expression went blank.
Her half-white hair was neatly combed up… At worst, it’s old-fashioned. At best, it’s old-fashioned.
Simple uniforms and simple clothes with a sword tied around the waist. However, his upright waist, tightly closed mouth, and restrained movements clearly showed that he was unusual.
A middle-aged man who is clearly human, but has the anticipation of seeing a well-honed sword.
Currently the only sword master on the continent of Eurelia, and the absolute strongest known as a swordsman within the Levantine Empire.
Havel Callios. He came to meet us.
I thought I’d meet you at the imperial palace, but you said you came all the way here in person?
Of course, her position as a saint is a position that cannot be treated carelessly.
Although she is still an immature Helena, she will eventually have power comparable to that of an archmage or a sword master.
Even if it’s not that, he’s the head of a church, and if necessary, he can bring a god into his body.
Politically and religiously, I am not in a position to be inferior to a sword master.
However, this is the capital of the Levantine Empire, and we are slightly rude guests who have visited silently.
Even so, the sword master personally came to meet me?
It’s no wonder that the empress Fiona did something…
“Okay. Is that the wizard named Yandel? It is a face that seems to have a lot of thoughts.”
“Yes? Ah… I was a bit surprised because I didn’t know that Prince Havel would come in person.”
“These days, if you are surprised, have you prepared to fight first?”
“…”
No, I just put a little bit of pressure on my body, but they got caught?
The sword master seen through the game was just a melee job, but in real life, he wasn’t someone who could be dismissed as a simple strongman.
Like the attention I had a moment ago, and the momentum I felt for the first time. I am human, but I have to say that I have the feeling that I am a being that transcends human beings.
As I was looking at Havel with a lighthearted feeling, he smiled and said.
“I’m sorry. The reaction was so good for a wizard, so I teased him a little. I have no intentions, so don’t worry.”
“… If you tease me twice, my heart will drop.”
“Oops. I didn’t know that you would rise like this to the point of killing people just by looking at them.”
Uh, well So is this a joke too?
Since the sword master does it, it doesn’t sound like a joke.
