Chapter 121 – 121 – Rust Appears at the Banquet Hall!? #2

121 – Rust appears at the banquet hall!? # 2

「You too can become a court wizard!

Regardless of career, place of origin, status, gender, or age!

Unlimited level competition coming soon!

The winner will have the opportunity to meet Queen Guinevet privately and be granted any wish!”

The poster Lucy showed me said this.

The opportunity to treat the queen privately and the right to wish.

It was a poster with no decoration or decoration, but the content alone was enough to attract people’s attention.

In fact, people were excited as they looked at the posters that were starting to stick to city walls, alleys, visible bulletin boards, and pillars in bars.

“Any wish will be granted. “Do you really grant just any wish?”

“Are you asking for a noble title? Do you listen to what I say?”

“… Would you please grant my wish to marry Her Majesty the Queen?”

Everyone seemed to have a lot of questions.

The story that Queen Ginebit grants any wish was good enough to attract people’s attention.

Lucy also seemed very interested.

“Me! I want to win this contest and make my wish to meet Hyde and the Queen! “Hyde is an amazing person, so I’m sure the Queen will like her!”

Crumbling-.

It was Lucy who dipped the hard bread she bought for breakfast into the stew and stuffed it into her mouth.

The puffy cheeks looked like a squirrel diligently finding food and stuffing it into its mouth in preparation for hibernation.

Seeing Lucy like that made me feel a little worried.

“How are you doing in the ivory tower? Have you ever starved often?”

The Ivory Tower was the only ‘mage professional education training institution’ in the United Kingdom.

Not everyone could enter, and not everyone who entered could become a wizard.

You have to go through a rigorous and difficult curriculum, right?

I also heard that it costs a lot of money, including tuition, the cost of purchasing various learning tools, the cost of potions, and the cost of purchasing lab rats that will be used as rehearsals for magic.

Gulp-.

Lucy swallowed all the bread with her mouth.

She smiled while scratching the back of her head shyly.

“Hehe… Actually, I haven’t been able to eat well these days. Because I spent all my money on buying magic books. But I’m doing well at school! I made a lot of friends too! Do you know this Miss Watson? “He’s a friend who shares the same room as me, and he’s really great!”

Because he was a poor student, he often went hungry, but he seemed to be doing well.
Lucy has a friend.

Kuuk-.

Lucy clenched her fist after finishing breakfast.

“I will definitely try to win for Hyde!”

Lucy’s desire to help me meet the queen seemed genuine.

Lucy has a kind heart.

“When I saw the queen, I felt something prick my chest. Does she feel like this is the queen who rules the world? It was awesome! It was so different from me!”

Also, Lucy seemed to like “Queen Gine Beat”.
It was definitely the atmosphere of Queen Ginevitt. The aura she gave off was several levels different from that of ordinary people.

She was raised to be a leader from a very young age, and it was good to see that it was in full bloom at the age of twenty.

Lucy, who grew up like an orphan in a convent on a remote island, must have thought that Ginevitt, who had royal blood, was very amazing and cool.

Well, the difference between the two was as much of a difference in status as between a rabid raccoon raised in the wild and a noble daughter who grew up in an aristocratic home receiving all kinds of love and affection.

Everyone in the world probably thinks so.

Except for me, Hyde, who can see through the essence of things.

“Miss Lucy. You, too, can be like Queen Ginevit.”

Lucy Emma.

You too can be a queen.

I thought so.

It is said that Lucy suits the person called “Queen” More than anyone else.

In fact, I came to the royal capital not only to retrieve the ‘Holy Grail’, but also to take Lucy with me according to Pope Gregory’s will.

When Gregory said, “Head towards me to the royal road,” It is clear that he also meant, “Please take care of my daughter Lucy who is there.”

Rehoboam, who was first in line to succeed to the throne among Pope Gregory’s adopted sons, fell due to heretical acts in many ways -.

Atalanta, who was in third place, was also eliminated from the battle for the throne, so it was as if all the pillars that could be called the pillars supporting Barakhan’s ‘Pope King’ were taken out.

There still remains ‘Lord Kusan’ who is second in line of succession─.

That guy was so good when I saw him.

It would be better to have no leader than for that guy to become king.

Anyway.

The sudden appearance of the ‘Queen’ was a major crisis in many ways for Pope Gregory to have no suitable successor.

Gregory’s safety may also be in danger. What if the queen sends her assassin or something to cut off Gregory’s head?
It’s no joke, Marquis Sandros is like a cunning fox, so he was sure to plan such a trick.

If I were Marquis Sandros, I would have bribed Gregory’s associates to betray Gregory.

But the good news was that the Pope actually had a daughter.

Lucy Emma.

The illegitimate son of Pope Gregory.

“I can be like Queen Ginebit…” ? I can’t imagine… !”

Puhuh-.

I felt ‘something’ from this girl who smiled innocently as if she had just heard a funny story.

It was something that was difficult to describe in words, even for me, and in the end I had no choice but to shake my head.

“I said something wrong. “I don’t think Miss Lucy can be like Queen Ginevitt.”

“Hehe-.”

Lucy smiled as if she was a little embarrassed and regretful.

After finishing my meal, I sat down at the inn’s shabby table and looked around.

Noisy-.

It was truly peaceful to see everyone talking.

But this peace was very terrible by my standards.

Among the people around, there were members of the Psychozu who had a T or K branded on their foreheads, and there were also people who wore cursed dolls on their belts like witches.

It was quite unsettling to see the guys wearing red robes—and the Blood Crusade—also in this inn.

All kinds of heretics flocking to this royal capital reminded me of Sodomy, the city of heretics.

Although this royal capital was not as disorderly as sodomy—.

It was fundamentally no different from sodomy in that heretics walked around without any intention of hiding their identity.

It was the queen’s will.

The Queen said that she does not care about anyone who gathers under her banner.

The “Royal Palace Wizard Selection Contest” That Lucy talks about was probably the queen’s faction’s idea to gather talent.

Power.

Is it because of the war with Pope Gregory that they need strength?

The Pope’s power was certainly strong.

Needless to say, the church’s “Knights of the Temple” Is the strongest military group in the United Kingdom.

It was then.

The inn was in great commotion.

“Wow, such a big guy appears in a place like this.”

“It’s awesome… Is that the real thing? “It’s more than I imagined.”

It seemed like a truly enormous tycoon had appeared.

Seeing everyone reacting like this, he must be quite a heretic, right?

Have the Five Pillars of Walpurgis or the top executives of Saikos appeared?

I wanted to check who it was.

My eyesight became dizzy in many ways.

“Hans the Second Baptist. I had reserved a seat here. Come this way!”

The man was Hans, a man with a red cross painted on his face.
Why is Hans here?

“Is that man Hans, the second baptist?”

“He’s the one who has the authority to speak alone with that demon lord Rust, right? He is in charge of practically everything in the temple, except for Galatea, the saint of the temple!”

“Is he someone who went from being an ordinary soldier to becoming an example to all heretics?”

No.

Why is Hans here?

Soon, someone came in following Hans, who was sitting at the table.

I couldn’t help but be surprised in many ways when I saw that face.

Bokor.

This guy was Bokor, a curse witch who wore a snake around her waist like a belt!

Why is Bokor like Hans?

Soon people were in an uproar.

“That guy is Bokor. Bokor, the five pillars of Walpurgis!”

“Was it true that you joined the Blood Crusade?”

“… Even the witch of the five pillars is included?”

“But it seems a little prettier than I heard… ? Didn’t you say Bokor looked terrible? She’s quite a beauty. Even though my skin is dark.”

Did you feel agitated?

Bokor said, who has become quite beautiful as her skin has become firmer and her face has clearer contours.

“I am no longer the curse witch Bokor. Bokorda, the sixth baptist of the Blood Crusade! It was able to become this beautiful thanks to Rust’s favor! Mr. Rust is the true devil!”

I see.

Bokor has joined the Blood Crusade.

It was a very terrible story.

I have felt this for a long time, 5 years ago, but why is the “Blood Crusade” Continuing to become more powerful?

I, the leader, am not doing anything!

Why does it keep growing and attracting evil talents!!!!

Zek-.

Soon someone stood up.

“I am Drunken, a member of the Psycoz. Hans. The fact that a big man like you appears here means that Rust is also in this royal capital, right? It seems it was true that Rust was invited to the Queen’s banquet this evening!”

Fiery-.

Hans rolling his eyes.

“This… This… Yiiiii… !!!!”

The guy took the thick book “Lust’s Quotations Collection” He was holding in his hand and stamped it on the Drunken’s head.

“This blasphemous man!!!”

Sigh-!

“Kuieeeee!!!!!!!”

“Is Rust your friend?!!! When calling Rust, always add ‘nim’!!!! What a rude bastard!!!! For reference, Mr. Lars is Mr. Lars or Mr. Lars-. Both are acceptable!!!”

The Drunken fell to the floor and convulsed, blood spurting from its nose and eyes. It didn’t seem like he was dead, but he looked like he was in pain enough to die.

People are shocked to see that.

“The Drowning Drunken is a monster who likes to kill people by drowning them. “You killed a guy who was said to be as good as a knight with a silver plate in one blow with a book?”

“Is that the skill of the second baptist?”

It’s really going to spin.

What does it mean to say that Rust was invited to the Queen’s dinner today? If you’re talking about a dinner party, you’re talking about the one that Milione and Psyche were invited to, right?

It looks like everyone knows that Rust was invited.

Why does everyone else know something that even I, the person involved, didn’t know?
