Chapter 171 – 171 – Hyde, Refuting Archibald the Medici #2

171 – Hyde refutes Archibald Medici # 2

Most religions that believe in God have “Prayer”.

It was an act of requesting something or asking for forgiveness from the gods they believed in.

In some cases, each prayer had a form.

You need to prepare a candle─.

Something like having to bow to a solid golden Buddha statue.

In that sense, prayers to the Lord Elohim were informal and generally free.

Zek-.

Cathy Orléans, the Countess of the Orléans family and reputed to be a ‘virtuous woman,’ had prayer time today as always.

“Lord. “I thank you for giving me daily bread and a healthy day today.”

As always, Cathy’s prayer began with gratitude to the Lord.

Being thankful for everything.

It was a major virtue that believers should have.

As a result, her life seemed to become a little happier and enriched.

“Also, please forgive me for fighting with my roommate Fontina last night. Fontina read my letter arbitrarily, so… I was angry. And I believe that you will forgive my sins, and I thank you for that.”

Cathy looked back on her past day and repented of her mistakes.
With that, Cathy felt her heart relax a little.
She should not commit her mistakes in the future – the same reflection followed.

“They also say that her husband, Aaron, is not in good health. Please give her health and strength to overcome her hardships. “Aaron is a coward, so he needs courage.”

She also did not forget her prayers for others.
With that feeling, Cathy said everything she wanted to say.

As if speaking to her family or friends.
Lord Elohim was a living, personal God, and it was comfortable and good for Cathy to pray like this.

“Then, we prayed in the name of the Savior who bled and died for us. Amen.”

At the end of the prayer, the Savior’s authority and Amen were added as if attaching a stamp.

This was the end of one prayer.

Cathy said these prayers at lunch, before going to bed, and whenever she remembered.
It was also because she was such a chaste and pious woman that she was well-known in Barakhan.
It was also because the only thing to do in this “Celibacy nuns” Was to pray.

Cleaning.

Laundry.

Prayer.

Cleaning.

Laundry.

Prayer.

Stay alert.

Cleaning.

Laundry.

Prayer.

Night watch-.

It’s already been 2 years since I’ve always had the same daily routine.

Cathy was used to this lifestyle, and she received many compliments from people, saying, “What a godly woman you are.”
Cathy loved receiving her compliments.
But for some time, she felt like there was a huge hole in her heart and she couldn’t fill it.

Tuk-.

Then someone touched Cathy’s side as she was doing her handwashing.
It was my roommate, Fontina Arbodin.

“Cash. I’m sorry for getting angry yesterday. It’s my fault. “I’m sorry for reading your letter arbitrarily.”

“No, Fontina. I think I was a little less generous. “I was the one who left the letter open on the desk.”

Cathy and her roommate Fontina reconciled.
They often fought like this over trivial things and quickly made up.

The two started handwashing together.

Soon Fontina spoke.

“By the way, I heard that your husband, Count Aaron, is coming to visit today? That’s what it said in the letter, right? I envy you. “My husband says he can’t come this year because he’s busy.”

As Fontina said, today was the day Aaron came to visit.

Cathy wanted to make her face pretty and meet her husband.

Fontina sighed.

“Why does she have to live separately even though they are a couple? Why were we chosen to join the “Celibate Sisters”? It’s already been 2 years. When can we return home?”

Fontina recalled her own husband, the Baroness Arbodin.
It was a married life full of twists and turns in many ways-.

Fontina was a little tired of living like this for two years without being able to return to her family.
That’s why I became more irritated.

“What on earth are these ‘celibacy nuns’?”

Fontina had doubts about this large “Convent of celibate nuns.” It’s already been 2 years since she opened a convent in Barakhan. Many married women were imprisoned in this convent.

Hehe-smiling Cathy Orleans.

“We are such pious, faithful, and chaste women that we have gathered them all in one place. We were specially chosen because we are so pious and chaste. Don’t lose your modesty to the crowds of the world.”

Cathy’s story made more sense than I thought.

Fontina thought she was more chaste than anyone else.

Then Fontina stood tall and stopped her hand.

“Come to think of it, that. Aren’t these my clothes? My purple clothes are precious, and I shouldn’t wash them with other clothes? It’s the only outfit I have for going out… !”

Fontina got irritated again.

Cathy also got angry at Fontina.

“Then you shouldn’t have put your clothes in my laundry bin!”

The women of the “Celibate Sisters” Had such a prickly and picky side.

This was because, in many ways, what could be called the frustration threshold lowers when several people are confined in a limited space for a long time.

“I won’t talk to you!”

Swish-.

Fontina sulks and leaves far away.

Cathy also spoke without losing.

“I’m not talking to you either, Fontina!”

Cathy growled loudly.

She snorted and headed to her room.
After dressing up and decorating herself, she looked in the mirror and saw her beautiful self.

“Aaron will like it, right?”

Cathy really liked her husband, Aaron.
Thinking of meeting Aaron, she walked lightly towards the visiting room, and Aaron, who had arrived first, waved his hand at Cathy.

“Cathy!”

“Aaron! “My love!”

The two held each other’s hands.

With that, her face turned red.
Soon Aaron spoke.

“Ma’am. “Couples shouldn’t do things like this.”

Zek-.

Cathy and Aaron let go of each other’s hands.

A cramped secret room.

A young man and woman who meet each other after a long time and love each other.

What should they do?

Aaron said.

“Then let’s do ‘prayer’, which is a married couple’s job!”

“Yes!”

The two sat down together and began to pray, as all couples do every night.

It was natural for couples to pray like this every night.

However-.

Cathy thought there was something strange about her.
She thought that there was something else for a couple to do besides praying.

For some reason, my body felt itchy, and it felt like ants were crawling under my skin.

For some reason, Cathy’s whole body trembled at the thought that after today she would never see Aaron again, and she was at a loss.
It was the same for Aaron.

However-.

The two had no idea how to relieve this emptiness.

Cathy couldn’t hold back anymore and said, “I’ll just come back and get some air.”
Zek-.

A cache outside the prayer room and visiting room.

Passyuk-.

Then she saw the bushes moving.

━Kheng, Kengg!

“Huh? Is it a raccoon? “Is the raccoon hiding in the grass?”

Animals such as cats and raccoons would often visit this convent.

Feeding the animals that came in for a night and sending them away was one of the few joys of this convent.

Just then, a raccoon spoke from within the bush.

“You, Cathy Orleans? Right? “I finally found it!”

“Ugh? It’s not a raccoon. Who are you? “Who is hiding in the grass?”

“I…” . It’s a messenger… ! Cathy, if your heart is broken… I know a way to solve it… ! That’s right, sex… ! Have sex… They say you have to do it as hard as you can… !”

Sex.

Cathy recalled some heretics talking about such actions.

It was a very ominous word and a terrible word, but—.

The Blood Crusade surrounded all the roads leading to Barakhan.

Since the supply to them has been completely cut off, if we just drag on like this, the situation will be favorable.

Roland, a cool-headed strategist, said.

“I think it would be a good idea to use the artillery captured from the Agarpe family to incite fear by tearing down part of Barakhan’s walls.”

It was the right story.

It would be a good idea to break through at once through the gap in the castle wall.

Galatea showed confidence by tightly holding the sword she wore at her waist.

“Lust. Just give me an order. I, Galatea, will be the first to take the lead and capture her enemies and turn them all into firewood!”

I was very confident.

In fact, if we pushed them back with our firepower, the siege wouldn’t even take that long.

But my thoughts were a little different.

“Even though Barakhan is rotten, it is a city of priests. Even if we force them to submit, the number of martyrs will only increase. To truly subjugate them, it must be something other than guns and swords. “I will go myself.”

Zek-.

I expressed my intention to sortie towards Barakhan alone.

Roland clicked his tongue at me.

“Rust. Will you alone tear down the walls of Barakhan and subjugate all the people? If you were to use that level of power without the help of the axis, your personality would collapse.”

“No. There is no need to use power.”

“… ?”

Roland slowly nodded his head under his black helmet as if he did not understand.

To Roland, Hans answered for me.

“Roland. You do not understand the essence of Rust at all. It’s something that can’t be helped. Even the best baptists like us understand only 20% of Rust’s essence!”

The inside of the tent is buzzing in many ways.

I thought it was probably good.

Now, Balhajak must have made contact with Lucy and started working on it.

Even if things didn’t go as planned, it didn’t matter.

I entered Barakhan through the underground passage I had prepared in advance and was able to witness a strange scene within the large square.

“These people have broken a taboo!”

“That too in the sacred prayer room!”

“Well, such a terrible thing… !”

People were tied to a cross-shaped frame.

Some of them were faces I knew.

“We begin the public trial of Aaron Orléans and his wife, Cathy Orléans! “I, Simons, Bishop of Silver Plate, will be in charge of this trial with the righteousness of the Lord Elohim!”

Is this a trial for criminals?

People who make noise in various ways.

I raised my hand and asked among the people who were blushing and spewing out swear words and curses.

“What crime did they commit?”

Then the judge, Bishop Eunpae Simmons, shouted as if he had been waiting.

“Sex! They had sex! According to an old law, these criminals should be driven out into the streets and stoned to death!”
