Chapter 136 – 136 – Hyde Excommunicates Cusan at the Council of Priests #1

136 – Hyde excommunicates Cusan at the Council of Priests # 1

Although I emphasize it again and again and again and again.

In the Bible, there was a saying that even if you hate your brother in your heart, you are guilty of murder.

Isn’t it too harsh?

Even if you hate someone with just your heart, it is a murder.

There was a reason for everything.

Whether we have a mole on our face, a bald head, a wrinkle around our mouth, or a large wart on our nose, we all were created in the image of the Lord.

Are we all the image of God?

Are there people you see when you look in the mirror?

That’s what God is like.

It was the same when I looked at ‘you’.

We were able to see God in the faces of others in our lives.

Hating someone like that.

It would not be strange at all to say that this was not only murder but also ‘blasphemy.’

“So Roxanne is a blasphemer!”

My opinion was very justified.

You call someone a slut.

This was a personal murder and was tantamount to religious blasphemy.

My opinion was completely justified, had no logical flaws, and was religiously correct.

However-.

Cusan’s concubine Roxanne frowned.

“I am a blasphemer who has been entrusted with all authority by the Pope of Kusan? Hyde. Do you think this is still the Barakhan you knew? “I can put you in jail with just one word!”

“What do you mean the King of Kusan, who is nothing more than a little thing? I am a prophet who has received full authority from the Lord Elohim. “Which do you think is higher, my ministry or yours?”

“What?”

“I’ll ask everyone! King Kushan and Lord Elohim, Creator of the world and all things. “Of these two beings, who truly has higher authority?”

There was no need to ask.

Even a moron would know.

There is nothing greater in this world than the Creator.

And in fact, there was nothing that exceeded my authority as loved by the Creator.

I, Hyde, was truly greater than beings like the Pope or the Queen.

In fact, everyone was like that.

We were all creatures created in glory, humans more noble than kings.

“Roxanne. Do you think that the authority of Cushan is higher than that of Lord Elohim? Not only did he blaspheme Countess Cathy by calling her a slut, but he also idolized Cusan.”

“This guy—.”

“Compared to the Lord Elohim, Kushan is worse than the dust on an ant’s antennae. Prove the purity of your faith by following my words! I am saying that Kushan is worse than an ant antenna compared to the Lord Elohim!”

“You bastard!”

Roxanne seemed very angry.

The guy raised his palm and slapped me on the cheek, but I couldn’t see him and when I came to my senses, my eyes only flashed.

It is said that when people hear sounds that are beyond their perception, such as the rotation of the Earth, they cannot feel them at all. For me, this pain was like that.

It hurt so much that it actually didn’t hurt.

“Hyde! Hyde was right! Hyde!”

Padadadat-.

Lucy running towards me.

As Lucy helped me up, I spoke to the people.

“Look at this! Persecuting priests who speak the truth is the current Barakhan! With such a false view of faith, can you defeat the queen’s army, which is like a horde of evil!?”

Grumbling-.

I felt blood pouring out of my nose.

You can cause a nosebleed with a single punch to the cheek.

She really is an amazing woman.

“Hyde! “I’m bleeding!”

“The only one who can stop the Queen’s army is that Hyde who has seen everything from the royal capital! But by persecuting a prophet like me like this, the walls of Barakhan will crumble without leaving a single stone behind!”

I couldn’t stand it.

The only thing that was good about it was the fact that the woman, who didn’t know if she had sucked or licked Kusan, was stretching out like this.

Why is Barakhan, the land of priests, swayed by the width of women’s skirts?

“The Lord said to the man that he was the head of the church! It was said that a woman should serve a man like her head! But look at the church today! Everyone is ignoring this obvious story! “The current behavior is for the prostitutes to gain momentum and shout like pigs, riding on the king’s authority!”

There were many passages in the Bible, and some sentences were consistent.

One of them was the story, “Women must obey men.”

Churches in the 21st century preached without mentioning these stories.

Also, do not commit adultery.

Don’t have an abortion – I also left out the same story.

Do you know why?

Most of the church’s believers were women.

And to women, who make up the majority of believers, 21st century pastors did not preach sermons such as “Think of men as the head of the church and obey them.”

Such sermons were not suitable for the 21st century society.

In other words-.

Pastors had compromised with worldly customs.

It’s a very terrible thing.

The church, which is supposed to be an upright standard for the world’s customs, interprets Bible verses as it pleases just because it cares about its believers and society, and then stays silent and pretends not to see anything?

“Prostitute? “Did you just call me a prostitute?”

Roxanne frowned.
I said while looking at Roxanne.

“Roxanne. You called Cathy a slut. I will ask you that question. Are you a virgin? Don’t you know the man? “Are you single?”

It was natural for an unmarried woman to be a virgin.

That’s the story the church and the Bible tell.

Compromised pastors of the 21st century say that the ‘purity’ mentioned in the Bible should be taken into consideration according to the times and that the interpretation should be different, but it is all like heresy.

It’s all about seeing what the world thinks.

The message the Bible gave was clear.

Unmarried women and men must be virgins.

“But I will bet my life that there is no trace of virginity in you. Roxanne. “What right do you have to judge others when you are single and not a virgin?”

Good!

I pointed at Roxanne with her finger.

“Roxanne! Again, I would give up my life if you were a virgin! But if you are not a virgin, according to the old laws of the church, the angry crowd will stone you to death!”

I looked around.

Barakhan is a city with a population of 300,000.

Among the people of a large city comparable to the royal capital, it was certain that there would be a group of people who did not follow Kushan’s rule.

“Is this a dirty non-virgin telling people to do this and that?”

“To begin with, Kusan is also Redfox’s son.”

“Hyde’s words were correct, even if they were extreme. You can’t believe you slapped Hyde like that. It is the same as ignoring the authority of the priests.”

A situation where voices of dissatisfaction are emerging in many ways.

Soon people were shouting.

“Roxanne! Prove that you are a virgin!”

“If you’re not a virgin, tell me who you slept with! That man should be stoned to death too!”

“Is that man Kushan? If that’s really the case, then Kusan is not qualified to be the king of the priests!”

“Non-virgins who lose their virginity before marriage have no say!”

“These damn idiots—.”

Roxanne seemed very embarrassed.

People came towards Roxanne, and she finally ran away as if she couldn’t stand it anymore.

Looking at that scene, I felt that hope was still alive.

“This is the city of priests.”

# # #

“Lord Aaron. It would be better for you to leave Barakhan and return to the Count of Orléans.”

I freed Aaron from being tied to the cross.

Aaron said to me, “The priest saved my life. “Thank you,” He repeatedly bowed his head.

Saving people was something I had to do.

“I just did what I had to do.”

“But will you mind? It’s the same as rebelling against Kushan’s rule. Hyde. King Kushan will never overlook this incident.”

Cushan was a small man.

In this situation, I was clearly the victim and there was no loophole.

If it was a mistake, advisor Roxanne did it.

But it was clear that Cusan didn’t even care about that.

“If you’re trying to harm me, it’s better. I plan to bring down Kusan. The more muddy the fight, the better. Also, Miss Lucy here is truly worthy of being the King of the Church.”

“Miss Lucy… “You said she was His Holiness Gregory’s daughter, right?”

Aaron looked at Lucy very politely.

Lucy laughed as if she was embarrassed.

“Actually, I’ve never seen his father’s face…”

Soon Aaron added her words.

“Hyde. The Count of Orléans will support you. Nobles in the same situation as me will also support you. “Kusan, the reason he became the king so quickly was simply because there was no substitute.”

Indeed-.

It is said that he rose to the rank of earl during this war, and Aaron was also a man with a well-thought-out mind.

Not just anyone can sit in the earl’s seat.

Anyway.

I looked at the sky.

Is it about 4 PM now?

I promised Archbishop Hugo that I would deal with Barakán’s problem by midnight.

Just when I thought there was still plenty of time, the red knights approached me.

“Hyde! This is the Pope’s order!”

It has come.

“Miss Lucy. Miss Watson. Please wait. “I’ll be back soon.”

I followed the red knights of the Rose Order to the Holy See Hall located in the Holy See.

Cusan was sitting on the constellation, but he was less dignified and less formal than when Gregory was sitting. The ivory crown on his head was almost comical.

Looking at Queen Ginebit, I felt that she didn’t seem like she was good enough to be a leader, but compared to Cusan, Ginebit was the king of kings.

“Hyde. I heard about the commotion the other day. It seems Roxanne did you wrong. Since she is reflecting and repenting her mistakes, please forgive her.”

“Lord Cusan. An apology must be made to the person concerned. Wasn’t it your concubine Roxanne who was at fault? “If you think you have done something wrong, come to me and apologize.”

You have to apologize for your mistakes.

Why are you ordering an apology instead of Kusanbogo?

It’s so funny how she barks in front of me like a mad dog who has nothing to fear, but when things get worse, she hides behind her husband.

But Kusan’s eyes widened as if he had been caught in a strange place again.

“Lord Kusan-. In your eyes, do I still look like a begging adopted son? I am the Pope. “If I were you, I would be a little more careful and choose my words wisely.”

Zek-.

As Cusan raised his hand, Knight Naive, who was waiting next to the constellation, placed his hand on the sword at his waist.

“Now I can kill you with just a wave of my hand, Hyde.”

Yes.

It comes out like this, right?

“Try to kill me. I am truly a person who is not afraid of death. But Kusan. You. Can you handle what happens after you kill me? No. You are a coward “You can’t kill me.”

“Afford it? “Am I a coward?”

“If you kill me, Durgien will side with the royal family, and it won’t even take a month for the Queen’s troops to pour into Barakhan, drag your proud ass out, and trample on the crown.”

“I have the Knights Templar.”

“Will the Knights of the Temple cooperate obediently with you, with the women at your head? No. When that time comes, the people of Barakhan will take the lead and sacrifice their heads to impress the queen. Can Naive, who is protecting you by your side, protect you? No. That bitch would lick the devil’s shoes just to survive. “I know very well.”

“You bastard! “How dare you insult me?”

“…”

Compared to the angry Naib, Cu San kept his mouth shut.
He must have realized that what I said was not a bluff.

“Kusan. It is you who should bow down and pray, not me. You are just a lucky person who sits on the throne. The only thing that makes you a king is your relationship with Gregory, which you happened to be lucky enough to have. “If I were you, I would ask you for help.”

“Am I lucky? That sounds funny. It’s so ridiculous that I just laugh. I achieved all of this with only my hands. You idiot! “I don’t need your help anymore!”

Is this a true story?

It was as absurd as seeing a golden spoon say, “I succeeded through my own efforts without the help of my parents.”

Those who were born in their parents’ home, received food from their parents, went to school with their parents’ money, and were given an environment to work hard with their parents’ money, but they brag about what they did.

Kusan looks like he won’t even eat a meal without a side dish of meat every day. Does he really think he achieved all of this on his own?

“Kusan. You are lucky Because you met me at the threshold of hell. Immediately, fire all of your funny advisors within this evening. Then I will be your opponent at the upcoming council.”

“What benefit does it have for me to deal with you?”

“Kusan. If you really achieved all of this on your own, it would be easy for you to humiliate me in front of everyone, right? I will be loyal to you if you make me admit defeat. People will also look up to you.”

“That word. Can you promise? If you lose to me, you will be loyal to me and give me everything you have. Everything you have Even your family.”

Wooooow-.

A purple light began to emanate from behind Kusan’s head as he sat on the throne.

It was a very small circle.

Kusan said with a gloomy glow.

“Hyde. Swear. Under the power of “Promise Fulfillment,” Which is my power. My promise is an absolute command that no one can break. It has a compulsion that even I cannot disobey!”

Indeed.

That was the corner Kusan believed in.

I decided to ask one question before swearing.

“Are there people who are born with the king’s power even without Uniger’s blood?”

“It’s very rare, though. If it had been during the reign of the Uniger royal family, people like me would have been captured as rebels and killed or imprisoned before we could grow older and develop our talents.”

Is it a natural ability to be a leader?

Well, I guess it was good.

“Good. If no one can break a promise, not even you. Cusan, I really like the fact that you can’t say anything else later. Excellent.”

There were a lot of people who made promises but then said something different.

Most of them were like that.

In the meantime, I really liked the fact that Kusan would keep his promise more honestly than anyone else.

Cushan asked me.

“Hyde. Since I have accepted your suggestion, may I decide the topic of the council? For this topic, why not discuss ‘weapons’? It is no exaggeration to say that victory in war lies in weapons.”

Foolish guy.

You’re just digging your own grave.
