Chapter 117 – 117 – Hyde Meets Her Majesty the Queen!? #4
117 – Hyde meets Her Majesty the Queen!? # 4
When I shouted at the soldiers, they looked at each other blankly.
“A group of robbers?”
“Are we a band of robbers?”
They are so ignorant that they don’t even know that they are a band of robbers.
So you’re probably doing something stupid to get me arrested.
“I did not recognize you as the king’s army! Moreover, I am already the most loved priest in the kingdom! “If you treat me so carelessly, public sentiment will sink and your queen will never be recognized as the ruler of the kingdom!”
The authority of a prophet loved by the people sometimes surpassed that of kings and powerful nobles.
John the Baptist was like that when he ran through the wilderness.
How depressed was the public sentiment of Herod, the tetrarch of Israel, who beheaded John the Baptist?
Moreover, I, Hyde, was a more famous and loved priest than John the Baptist.
If you treat me so carelessly and persecute me, the public opinion of the so-called “Queen” Will literally fall through the floor.
“You would like to unify the kingdom under the banner of Uniger, right? “If you kill me or injure even a single hair here and now, the process will be delayed by more than 200 years!”
“…”
Bald Paul frowned.
For a moment, beads of sweat oozed from the middle-aged man’s shiny forehead.
A soldier rushed out from somewhere.
“Lord Paul!”
A soldier whispering something to bald foul.
Soon Paul clicked his tongue and said, “Oh my.”
Soon he withdrew his sword and said.
“Damn it, get these people here as guests.”
“Well thought out. A prophet is not someone to be hostile to, but must be treated with respect as a guest. True to his name, the Knight of the Sun, his head and thoughts shine like the sun.”
“What’s wrong with this guy… !? The title “Knight of the Sun” Isn’t because of my baldness—well, I like it anyway. “Don’t act like a fool and follow me!”
Swish-.
Paul, who had a tendon on his forehead, turned his head and headed somewhere.

The royal palace of Royal Road was truly beautiful.
I thought that the Gyowangcheong was a nice palace, but I thought that the Gyowangcheong was probably built frugally as it was a place where priests lived.
Gold and marble.
And it is a treasure of mankind created by pouring in all kinds of precious stones and golden spices without hesitation.
Psyche’s eyes sparkled as she walked inside.
“This is my first time seeing such a beautiful place. I almost feel guilty walking here. “Is there any dust on my body?”
A place where you can tidy up your clothes just by walking.
That was the royal palace of Royal Road.
Soon, Paul, the knight who was leading us, snorted and laughed.
“Did you say Lady Psyche? If she hadn’t betrayed the Uniger royal family, she could have become the mistress of this palace. Unfortunately, you are now a guest who is no better than a prisoner, huh?”
“I am not a lady, I am Mr. Hyde’s wife. And I never wanted a royal engagement or anything like that. “The husband I chose is Hyde.”
Psyche corrected him with a stern expression.
Paul just clicked his tongue and said, “I guess so.”
I asked the foul man on his back.
“Is the queen you serve the daughter of Pendragon Unizer? “She is a child born twenty years ago in the citadel of neglect.”
“Ho-.”
Paul was impressed.
The tone seemed to acknowledge us, saying, “You know quite a lot.”
Actually, when I heard the name “Queen”, I had an idea about its identity.
It’s strange not knowing.
And it was clear that Pope Gregory also knew this was going to happen.
Is it because of Prince Rehoboam?
Did the nobles of the great clan decide to take action because he lost his authority in the “Gourmet Club”?
Zek-.
We were finally led into a room that looked like an office.
There, a man with white hair and a beard was sitting there signing a mountain of documents.
“Marquis—no, Prime Minister. We have invited guests. As you can see, I guided you with the utmost hospitality without any injuries, so I will now leave.”
Zek-.
The man called the Marquis and Prime Minister stopped moving his hands and looked at us.
His overall face looked as sharp as a fox. However, the cloak draped over his shoulders and the golden brooch worn on his chest made him look as proud as a king of a nation.
“Lord Paul. It’s a lot of work. Then go away. Then Priest Hyde. And the daughter of Agarpe and the daughter of Medici may sit anywhere. Do you like tea?”
The sight of the man getting up from his seat and hurriedly starting to get into the car was quite life-like.
I asked him.
“Are you Marquis Sandros?”
“That’s right. He is the advisor to the Uniger royal family and the prime minister of the kingdom. You came to receive the “Holy Grail” By order of Gregory, right? “I’m sorry, but I can’t give you the Holy Grail.”
Shocking-.
It was Milione who was shaking.
Milione asked softly.
“It’s broken and broken… ?”
“No. That’s not the only reason. The “Holy Grail” Is a king’s thing. Wouldn’t it be right, then, for us to be by Her Majesty’s side? And you don’t need the Holy Grail.”
No need?
It was time to open my narrow eyes to see what he was going to say.
Whoop-.
Psyche, who drank the tea, was slightly impressed.
“It has a rich scent.”
Haha-. Okay. The appetite is exactly the same as that of its father, Dovan Agarpe. How is Count Agarpe? No, we’ll talk about this later. There will be a lot of time.”
Whoop-.
After drinking his share of tea, Marquis Sandros let out a hot breath.
He added his words, casually wiping the water droplets from his beard with the back of his hand.
“Priest Hyde. I guess the reason you are trying to find the Holy Grail is because of that Lady Archibald? They say Archibald’s daughter was raped by a stranger named “Rust.” It’s a pity.”
“Well, that’s…”
Trembling-.
Milione trembled.
Marquis Sandros said, looking at the guy as if he truly pitied him.
“But. Is that a reason not to get married? Is this a flaw that requires a purification ceremony with something called the “Holy Grail”? Love is a word. It is gentle and merciful. “Can’t I just get married?”
Milione was startled by the story of Marquis Sandros.
And she asked.
“Are you saying it’s okay to get married without a chastity ceremony?”
“Okay! If you love each other, you get married. That is the law of the Uniger royal family. There is no need to do a purification ceremony. You surrender to us. Then Her Majesty the Queen will gladly allow you to get married.”
It was an amazing story.
If the priests of Barakhan heard it, they would foam at the mouth and have a seizure.
How can you allow her to be your second wife so easily?
Soon Marquis Sandros also spoke to Psyche.
“The Agarpe family betrayed the royal family. But our Queen, Her Majesty, is a generous and loving person. Miss Psyche Agarpe. “I think the time has come to find the trust the family lost.”
“Do you mean to tell me to betray the church and remain loyal to the person you call ‘Queen’?”
“That’s right. She is indeed a smart woman who is called the Three Flowers. Aren’t the Uniger royal family and the Agarpe family a long time ago? Now is the time to join hands and correct the mistakes of the past.”
Marquis Sandros was a man eloquent and resourceful enough to serve as prime minister of the old kingdom.
This man’s influence must have had a strong influence in taking over and stabilizing the royal capital, Royal Road, in just one month.
In fact, his skill in persuading people was very good.
I know exactly what I recommend to people that will shake their hearts.
“You can get married without the Holy Grail…” .”
Milione’s heart was shaking.
Marquis Sandros added words to Milione.
“Your father, Archibald Medici. What a great man. After all, he personally led his troops to invade this royal capital and bring down the royal family. But what is that man like now?”
“…”
“Didn’t the usurper Gregory hate having his authority taken away by the Medici, so he kept him in check and now pushed him into a single position? After the hunt, he boiled the hunting dog and ate it. Gregory, that little guy.”
Tsk-.
It was Marquis Sandros who clicked his tongue.
“But our Queen has a big heart. She is an example of a divine monarch with benevolent tolerance. After all, he is an emperor born with the blood of Uniger and chosen by God!”
It seemed that he wanted to appease Archibald Medici through Milione.
A puppet government that is only a month old.
It was natural for them to want talented people.
Money. Human. Fame. They probably want to scrape together everything and make it their own.
The reason me, Psyche, and Milione are still alive is because they wanted to ‘accommodate’ us.
However-.
I couldn’t stand the foul smell.
“So, did Her Majesty the Queen join hands with the heretic Gourmet Association out of broad tolerance? No, Marquis Sandros. “Aren’t you not just holding hands, but a member of the gourmet club itself?”
My story was as sharp as a dagger piercing the heart.
Marquis Sandros, who had been talking for a while, closed his mouth.
He looked at me quietly and finally nodded.
“The rumors about the young man were underestimated. Hyde, you really are an expert on heretics. Okay. We joined hands with the “Gourmet Club.” Money. Soldier. And this and that─.”
“Aren’t you ashamed of joining hands with heretics? The most unacceptable thing in the world is becoming a heretic and joining hands with heretics!”
Joining hands with heretics for power?
No, no matter what you do in the first place, you should never join hands with heretics or become one of their allies!
Because Nahid was a more faithful and pious priest than anyone else, he could not tolerate someone who would compromise with evil and go down the wrong path!
“Please let me meet the queen! I will scold her and scold her to lead her on the right path! Let’s talk properly then!”
“…”
Marquis Sandros looked at me with narrow eyes.
A moment of silence-.
Soon Milione, who was listening to this story, frowned and punched my side.
“… Isn’t this completely crazy! You, man, then die! “I’m not saying this because I’m particularly worried about you!”
“Why am I crazy? What’s crazy is the puppet government that joined hands with heretics! You join hands with heretics and boast about being a queen! Marquis Sandros! Quickly bring the queen to me!!!!”
Crying-.
My shouting shook the window.
Bring the queen-.
Marquis Sandros seemed speechless at my shouting.
That’s right, my story was extremely correct and was like a needle piercing the truth.
There’s no way you can refute it.
I think there was silence for about 5 seconds like that.
Marquis Sandros finally burst out laughing as if he had lost his mind.
“Hyde. I like young people like you. There are times when young people do amazing things that surprise old people like me.”
Why are you making me fly like this for some nonsense?
As I watched with wary eyes, Marquis Sandros, as expected, started talking nonsense.
“But when Her Majesty heard about you, she didn’t find anything particularly bright about her. In other words, you currently have nothing that can be called ‘qualifications’ to meet Her Majesty the Queen.”
I’m not qualified?
Who are you talking to, you idiot!!!
Doesn’t the author called “Queen” Who wants to join hands with heretics not recognize the value of Hyde!!!?
I’m guilty!!!!!!
