Chapter 131 – 131 – Hyde Proposes to the Queen #1

131 – Hyde, Proposal to the Queen # 1

“… My father… He’s a monster. Weakness… “No.”

Watson.

She evaluated her father as a monster.
Watson was born a wizard through her father’s blood and was called a genius, but because she was Watson, she understood how amazing her father’s skills were when she was young.

No wizard could defeat her father.
For such a father, the fact that he was blind was not a weakness.

“Well, then what should I do?”

Lucy asked.

Soon her Watson spoke to her.

“You have to lose well. That’s the way to win.”

You have to lose well-.

They said that was the way to win.

Lucy couldn’t understand these words.

Soon Watson calmly caught her breath and spoke.

“Lucy, rather than wanting to become a court wizard, you want to participate in the competition because if you become a court wizard, you can meet the queen and make a wish, right?”

“Uh, yes.”

“Then you should listen to me. My father likes people who don’t give up. No matter how miserably you lose, if you don’t give up until the end, your father may give you a chance.”

The perfect wizard Thorin’s weakness was that he was easily impressed and easily changed his mind.

That capriciousness was the true identity of the monster Sorin.

Watson knew well about her father’s weakness for passion and emotion, and gave advice to Lucy.

In fact, Thorin seemed to have a good opinion of Lucy, who never gave up until the end.

As Watson said, Thorin gave Lucy one more chance.

‘If I were alone, I would never have come this far! Watson! Thank you! After all, you are a good friend!’

Watson’s help in getting to this point was enormous.

Zek-.

Thorin soon holds out her hand.

“Let’s play rock, paper, scissors. If you defeat me, she will take the position of court mage. In any case, I will hand over the wish to the queen to her.”

“Good!”

A very great opportunity.

Lucy felt the hair on his head stand on end and forgot that his broken arm hurt.

“Rock, paper, scissors is a great game. Wisdom and luck. And it includes all number reading. For your information, I will be releasing ‘Rock’. Lady.”

A situation where a rare wizard declared that he would produce a rock.

But no one could tell whether this was real or false.

“You will have many important choices to make in your life. Whether she loses or wins, this small decision will greatly affect her life going forward. Therefore, choose carefully.”

Zek-.

Sorin holds out his clenched fist.

The corners of Thorin’s mouth were showing a loose smile.

It seemed as if this situation was so fun that he couldn’t stand it.

‘Suspicious!’

Lucy thought Thorin, who showed his cards so obediently, was suspicious and suspicious.

She says she uses her fists, but she can actually use scissors.
If she were the old Lucy, she would definitely have thought and worried like that.

‘If it’s Hyde…’

As Lucy remembered the man’s somewhat gloomy face, it felt as if the pain in his arm had disappeared.

‘Hyde trusted me. Hyde is a man who believes in the people of the world. I want to trust this man like Hyde. I believe in the people that Hyde believes in…, I believe in this world that Hyde believes in!’

Rock, Paper, Scissors—Bo-!

With Lucy’s signal, I felt the eyes of many people in the world focused on Lucy’s palm.

There was silence for a very brief moment─.

Finally, a loud noise erupted.

“…”

Thorin lifted her distant eyes and head and listened to the surrounding sounds.
Sorin finally bursts into laughter in the noisy atmosphere of the stadium.

“I understand. Looks like I lost. “How did you know I wouldn’t change my outstretched fist?”

“You said it! I’m going to show my fist! I believed it!”

Oh-.

Thorin opened his mouth wide.

He nodded his head slowly.

“I see. Okay. How can you trust someone as they are? Even if you can’t be a good wizard, you can still be a good person.”

“Thank you! You are a good person too! You will definitely become a great court wizard!”

“Miss. Since you have defeated me, I will let you tell the Queen your wish. Your majesty. Please forgive the whims of this old handyman—.”

Zek-.

It was Thorin who took off his hat and lowered his head.

The queen nodded towards him.

“Sorin. I already knew that you were capricious and loved entertainment. Good night. Lucy. “Say what you wish.”

At that moment, a million different imaginations came into Lucy’s mind.

However, Lucy erased all the miscellaneous thoughts with only the single thought that supported her.

“I wish the Queen would meet Hyde! “That is my only wish!”

# # #

“Hyde! Hyde!”

Participants’ waiting room.

We met Lucy waving her hands at us.

Lucy had bandages on both of his arms because they were broken due to sparring with his magic, but he was wagging his hands like a dog’s tail as if it wasn’t even painful.

“Hyde! I won! I lost but I won! Even though you lost, it’s still the same as winning! Hyde, I kept my promise! I was helpful! Yes!”

Lucy’s face was bright red, and she was panting as if she would run out of breath at any moment.
Although he lost in winning the sparring match, he seemed happy because he liked the Platinum Wizard Thorin and was able to create an opportunity to meet the queen.

I was honestly surprised too.

When Lucy was eliminated from the competition, he immediately planned to prepare his next plan.

“Miss Watson told me! The platinum wizard Thorin likes people who don’t give up! She told me she would definitely give her another chance! It was real!”

I see.

There was a reason why Lucy worked hard while enduring the pain of breaking both of his arms.
It looks like he got advice or advice from Watson.

It was also surprising that Watson, with whom they seemed to have a bad relationship, gave advice to Lucy.

“Here! Hyde! Take this!”

Zek-.

Lucy moved her bandaged finger and handed me a handkerchief.

“The Queen said she would meet you here today! The time is 7pm sharp! “He told me to come on time because he wouldn’t meet me if I was even a little bit late!”

Palak-.

I unfolded a handkerchief about the size of my palm.

It was clearly a handkerchief that the Queen had written down the meeting place on, but no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see anything that looked like the location.

The only thing unusual was the cross pattern embroidered with gold thread.

“Hyde, how on earth did this happen? “Miss Lucy, is it clear that you only received this handkerchief and nothing else to say?”

Psyche seemed to feel puzzled.

Milione snorts next to me.

“It looks like you have no intention of meeting Hyde easily. Probably something like a quiz. Rather, Lucy, hold out your arm. Because I can relieve the pain just a little bit.”

Wooooow-.

Milione placed her palm, shining with divine power, on Lucy’s arm.

Wooooow-.

Lucy was happy as she felt the warm energy.

“My broken arm doesn’t hurt! Milli! Thank you! After all, you are my good friend!”

Warak-.

Lucy hugging Milione.

Soon Milione got scared and pushed Lucy away.

“You crazy bitch! The pain has gone away, but the bone has not healed! If you move around like that, your arms will stick together strangely! “Get away from me!”

Anyway.

Thanks to Lucy’s struggles, an opportunity was created.

All I had to do was take a handkerchief and wait for the right moment.

I’ve already taken the quiz about this handkerchief cross.

With that feeling, time passed.

I entered the palace and headed to the hall where the throne was placed.

The throne, on which only the kings of the kingdom could sit, was placed in the exact center of the point where two red carpets intersected to form the shape of “╋”.

On top of it, a woman sat proudly, with a yellow halo shining behind her head. The size of her throne was so large that it seemed like she had a little left in it.

Zek-.

Queen Ginevit, who had her eyes closed, moved her eyelids and slowly opened her eyes.
The sight of the purple eyes calmly looking at me was quite powerful.

Dang, dang, dang-.

At that time, I heard a bell ringing from afar, announcing 7 p.M.

“Hyde, the priest of the silver plate. You arrived on time and without delay. “How did you know the meeting place?”

Are you curious about how Ginebit solved the riddle?

I said simply.

“In the United Kingdom, the red cross symbolizes the Church and the Savior. So do you know what the golden cross means? King. And the place where the king should be is on the throne.”

The ‘golden cross’, the promised place, symbolized the king and the throne at the same time.

Therefore, I was able to find the meeting place without difficulty.

Queen Ginebit snorted lightly.

“It seems like you can think to the extent of solving a light problem. I took the time at the request of Thorin and Lucy. Priest Hyde. If you have something to say, say it with discretion.”

“I want peace. Please stop the war against religious denominations. You may be able to gain the kingdom in a more peaceful way. There is no need to shed unnecessary blood.”

Ssurre-.

Purple eyes narrowed at my words.

Queen Ginevit lifted her chin slightly.

It was truly an attitude fit for an emperor.

Breathing.

Walking.

Speaking.

Even the way he stood still looked like a king.

If there were an iron monarch who was thoroughly educated and studied from a very young age solely to become an emperor, it would be exactly like this.

Zek-.

Ginebit with crossed legs.

“John.”

When the queen stretched out her hand, Van Johann, the knight with the gold plate who was standing as if in the background or a statue, placed the letter in her hand onto the queen’s palm.
Ginebit threw it in front of me with a very arrogant and noble attitude.

I picked up the letter that fell in front of me.

The emblem of the Gyowangcheong was stamped on it.

“Hyde. Read out loud what is written there.”

“I understand.”

Zek-.

Palak-.

I opened the scroll of letters and first read the words written in the letter with my eyes.

“…”

“What are you doing? Make sure you read it without missing a single word.”

“All right. Uhm-. Listen to Ginebit, the parentless girl. I, King Gregory III of Cusan, the representative of Divine Punishment, propose a “Pilgrimage of repentance” To you who have committed the crime of heresy… ! Ginevit, if you truly wish for peace in the kingdom, travel around the kingdom as you were created… ! That is the only compromise you and I can make!”

I see.

This was a letter from Kusan, the next-generation priest from Barakhan.

Cusan has decreed a “Pilgrimage of repentance” For Guinebit and is putting pressure on her by sending letters to carry it out.

“Hyde. You know very well how insulting the term “Repentance pilgrimage” Is. To answer this, don’t you think I can cut off your head, put it in a box, and send it to Barakhan?”

I felt like my throat was sore.

“Is this, Ginevit, following the words of this usurper and asking to make peace with the church? I will not leave even a crude wooden cross on this earth, even if it belongs to a religious denomination… !”

Ginevit seemed very angry with the church and its officials.

It was natural for me to be angry since I heard the words, “I will strip you naked and lead you around the kingdom.”

If things continue like this, a big war will break out between the queen and the church.

Then it was clear that a huge number of people would die.

Would I be able to do my writing and pastoral work well in such a situation?

Of course, I would do my best in any given role under any circumstances. Nevertheless, it’s not a lie to hope that the world will be filled with love and peace, right?

“I can solve it. In that sense, Her Majesty the Queen. Please let people leave this place. “There is something only the two of us want to talk about.”

“You bastard. “How dare you speak alone with the queen?”

Clap-.

The queen’s knight, Van Johann, placed his hand on the sheath of his belt.

It really looked like a loyal dog that strictly protected its owner.

“John, go out.”

“My queen, I don’t know what this snake-like person will do to you!”

Indeed! Are you afraid that I might do something to the queen?

I didn’t miss the opportunity and spoke quickly.

She said, “I have heard that the queen has been chosen by heaven to be the monarch, and that she exercises the royal power of “Complete obedience.” “If you think I’m going to do something dangerous, can’t you use that power to restrain me?”

“Yes you bastard! Do you think the Queen would exercise that power on just anyone?”

It is a power that cannot be given to just anyone.

It was clear that there were some restrictions.

Zek-.

The queen then lifted her palm loosely and spoke calmly.

“John. Leave. “I won’t tell you twice.”

Wooooow-.

The mandorla begins to glow and turn.

John had a lot to say, but he bowed his head and left the throne room as if he couldn’t.
Now all that’s left is really the queen and me.

I spoke to the queen in the fairly quiet throne hall.

“I intend to appoint Miss Lucy Emma to the position of priest of the church. Please negotiate with her if she becomes her pope. With that, the kingdom will be able to become one without war.”
