Chapter 21 – 021 – Hyde Begins to Suppress Heresy! # One

021 – Hyde begins to suppress heresy! # 1

Florence, a city blessed with art, literature, and God.

A large mansion located in this area called the flower of Durgien.

A woman was reading a book in an unusually sunny room on the second floor.

The appearance of the woman with her blond hair was so beautiful that even the maids who were cleaning the house stopped and glanced at her.

Jump, gi-ik-.

At that time, a visit was held.

“Hi!”

Unlike the maid who was startled and started cleaning again, the woman was still reading a book in a room-sized position with her legs on the desk.

The man who approached the woman was tall, had neat gray hair, and wore priestly clothing so extravagant that the purple dye shimmered.

Sseukseu-.

The man touched the Roman collar and said.

“Miss Bathory, you can stop cleaning and go out. And Miss Bathory, since it won’t be a work day today, why don’t you go home and rest?”

“But, sir, this is something I enjoy doing. “I want to somehow repay the Archbishop who prayed at my mother’s bedside when she was dying.”

“Isn’t it my job to pray for people? It’s really okay to go out. “I have something to talk about with my daughter.”

The maid Bathory was moved by Archbishop Archibald’s broad-mindedness.

‘There will be no one in the world as kind and good as our archbishop.’

Zek-.

The maid bows her head and leaves.

Ki Ik, Tak-.

When the door was soon closed, Archbishop Medici Archibald sighed.

“Millie, Lady Psyche is married. I guess I should send a congratulatory gift. What would be a good gift?”

“Psyche? With my son-of-a-bitch second brother? “I’m not interested.”

The woman with very white hands turned the pages of the book thoughtfully.
The beautiful expression was filled with signs of boredom and boredom.

The reason her expression suddenly changed was because of the following story from her father.

“No, she married a monk named Hyde. “

“Under? What kind of wooden monk? How did that happen? “That Psyche just married a wooden monk?”

Milione Archibald.

Nickname: Millie.

She recalled Psyche, whom she had met at the church in her childhood.
She was a woman who looked down on everyone in the world, but her psyche thought that she was worthy of having a conversation with herself.

Millie thought it was quite funny when Psyche played her ‘fool’.
It was a clumsy play, but it was a unique story.

And when Oscar Archibald was targeting Psyche, she became bored again.

But how could the plan of Oscar and his father, Archibald the Medici, be foiled by one wooden monk?

I laughed so hard.

“Father, you must be very upset. “A lot of effort was put into the Agarpe territory, wasn’t it?”

“Okay. I have many strategies in mind to stabilize the Durjien region. In that sense, Millie, you turned down all marriage talks this time too. “Did you hate the eldest son of the Count of Ormandy?”

“They were all boring men. For me. I like fireworks. “If you want to introduce me to a man, please find a man with a spark of fire.”

Hwareuk-.

Millie took her eyes off the book and looked at the candle on the desk.

Inside Millie’s red eyes, the candle began to burn with large sparks flying.

“If I can marry a living flame, I don’t mind even if it means being a concubine.”

“Millie, how could I send you, my precious daughter, as a concubine?”

“I guess so, Archbishop Archibald! So, what kind of man will you be arbitrarily pairing me with this time? Do you plan to get engaged to a prince like Lady Agarpe?”

“Don’t be sarcastic. Anyway, this father has some business in the capital, so she has to leave Florence for a while, so don’t cause any trouble while she’s at it.”

As Archbishop Archibald was about to leave the room, Milione Archibald, a woman reputed to be beautiful in the kingdom, now turned her gaze back to the book.

「Tristan and Isolde」.

Of course, I had already read this book dozens of times, so no matter which page I opened, it was only boring.

It’s so boring that I can’t even see the letters, so I can’t stand it.

‘This book isn’t the only thing that’s boring.’

Millie, who read all the books by Florence, the city of art and learning, always felt bored. She was so bored that she wished the world would burn to the ground.

‘I want a new story. That Psyche married a worthless wooden monk? Hyde, this is my first time hearing this name. An unfamiliar and new name. I’d like to meet you sometime.’

Sze-. Tak-.

Milione closed the book.

She said, looking at her own father about to leave her room.

“I said you were thinking about a wedding gift, right? What was the name of the most troublesome cult group in the area?”

# ​ ​​​ ​ ​ # ​ ​ #

Psyche Agarpe.

She wanted to live single for the rest of her life.

But when a man hanged himself in front of her—.

─ She felt a little sad as she realized that her life had been completely shaken.
She hated that man, just a little.

Fortunately, the sadness and hatred did not last long.

Psyche took Hyde as her mate, and he successfully defeated Archibald’s male and female.
Hyde, which was thought to be a disaster, was actually Agarpe’s luck.

‘Just as Job, who suffered, was saved through it. A ray of sunshine began to seep into my dark cloudy life. Above all, my husband, Hyde, got along very well with me.’

Whenever she talked to Hyde, Psyche felt at ease and her heart lifted little by little.

‘I feel like we’ve known each other for a long time.’

Hyde also claimed that he was very passionately in love with Psyche.

Even Psyche herself felt it.

Psyche’s face always turned red as she wondered if this was her newlywed.

Psyche felt slightly dizzy at the story the man had just told.

“Hyde, G, what did you just say?”

“I asked you to arrange a meeting for me and Archbishop Archibald’s daughter, Miss Milione. “As long as you arrange the position, I will take care of making her your second wife.”

Second wife.

It was Psyche who recommended it.

Because she, Psyche, was barren by her vow.

Of course, in Psyche’s opinion, since Hyde was also a devout ‘purist’, there would have been no problem with her not having children.

Hyde was an orphan.

Psyche felt sorry for Hyde and also wanted to create ‘her real family’, so she planned to take pains to find him a second wife.
And she swears to God that she intended to raise their child as if it were her own.

‘… But I knew she would say no at least once!’

Hyde immediately accepted her invitation to take a second wife, which she did not refuse! It also tells the story of Abraham, the father of faith!

The problem was that he even asked Archbishop Archibald to arrange a meeting with his daughter, Milione.

“Hyde, you know very well that even if I were to stand in the middle, it would be difficult in many ways for you to meet Archibald’s daughter…”

Milione Archibald.

Psyche’s heart sank as she remembered that arrogant, rude, and unpredictable woman.
Psyche and Milione were the same age, but they were very different even though they had different personalities.

“Please just arrange a seat somehow. Other than that, I can take care of the rest.”

“So… This means that it is very impossible to create a space. Lady Milione is a woman who never steps outside of her hometown, Florence. Also…”

Psyche searched and came up with many reasons why Hyde should not meet Milione. Fortunately, Psyche’s husband was the smartest man in the Agarpe territory and quickly understood.

“I said this because I knew you would say that.”

“What is that?”

Ah.

At that moment, Psyche realized.

And she was moved.

“Hyde, you…”

Psyche’s husband, Hyde, graciously said, ‘I don’t need a second wife for her,’ but she wisely refused.
At least, Psyche thought so, soaking in her emotions and reflecting on her own shortcomings.

‘I did not do my best to introduce Lady Milione to Hyde, when it was I who said he could take her second wife.’

Is it because of the bad rumors about Milione?

Is it difficult to meet her?

There may be something like that, but Psyche felt a strange feeling rising within her for the first time.

‘Hyde is my husband. I, too, will only love Hyde. But what if Hyde falls further in love with another woman?’

The Bible is full of stories about men falling for second wives and foreign women. The wise king Solomon was like that, and so was Abraham, the father of faith.

‘What if my husband Hyde becomes like that?’

Kuwoouk-.

It felt like her chest was slightly tightening.
Am I at least sick?

It was the first time Psyche had ever felt this way, so she didn’t know what it was like.
But Psyche was Psyche.

‘No, I trust Hyde. I am the man she chose to be her husband. And she said she loved me more than anyone else in the world. She said she would continue to do so!’

Mate-.

Psyche, who slapped herself to strengthen her resolve, borrowed paper and pen from Hyde.

“I will write a letter to Lady Milione. Of course, I can’t imagine that that picky and arrogant woman would ever leave Florence! “I am Psyche who keeps her promises!”

Swish, swish, swish-.

Psyche wrote a neat letter in very pretty handwriting and had a servant ride it on a horse.

Even if Milione, who received her letter, came to this land of Agarpe as if by her miracle, her husband, Hyde, would only have eyes for herself.
Psyche now had no doubt that she really believed it.

# ​ ​​​ ​ ​ # ​ #

Psyche really wrote a letter to Archibald’s daughter.

However, it would be impossible for Lady Milione to leave Florence and come to this Agarpe estate.

How do you know?

Lady Milione was staying in Florence until five years later when I was called Rust.

It really never came out.

I also wanted to see the face of the archbishop’s daughter, a woman as beautiful as Psyche.

But, well, I thought it was an exaggerated rumor.

There is no other woman in the world as beautiful as Psyche.

Time passed with that feeling.

Psyche and I spent the night praying hard as usual and lay down in the same bed.

It’s already been a few days since I’ve been sleeping next to a pretty woman.

Just when I thought I was still not getting used to this situation, the closed blue eyes slowly opened and made eye contact with me.

“Hyde, so what happens to the nymph? I mean the nymph from your story. You started being chased by hunters. What happens to the nymph Oinoi?”

The nymph Oinoi was the main character in the story I wrote, “The Village of the Back Alley Nymphs.”

I ended the story at a desperate moment.

“To be honest, I can’t sleep because I’m curious about the next story.”

To make money with a novel in the 21st century, the skill of making people curious about the next episode was important, but it seems my cutting skills were a little sharp for these medieval people.

I closed my eyes, thinking about the following.

“It’s a secret.”

“It’s disgraceful. If you continue writing the story next time, can you show it to me first, my wife? Is that true?”

Psyche liked my story.

That’s because the books in this world are all boring and old-fashioned stories of encouragement and punishment.

The most interesting story is The Thousand and One Nights. It is almost absurd.

In such a world, my story containing the essence of the 21st century must have been truly addictive!

It wouldn’t be difficult to lure Dihon with a novel.

The next morning I went to sleep with that thought in mind.

Zek-.

Yesterday, the maid who guarded Dihon’s room approached me.

“Lord Hyde, Prince Dihon would like to see you.”

Good.

It’s coming.

Thinking like that, I stood tall in front of Dihon’s door.

Then Dihon spoke through the door.

━Brother-in-law, it was a fascinating story. But there’s something I don’t understand. So what is that status window? Can you see the letters in front of you?

Oh my.

Was it difficult to get a boy of about ten years old to understand the status window, which often appears in 21st century novels?

When thinking about that, the boy said.

━Seeing ability in numbers! How did you come up with that idea? What is a Nymph Pokémon? Can I evolve with an evolution stone? Hyde, this is my first time reading such an interesting story! It was so much fun that my heart was pounding—cough, huh, chuck, huh…

Dihon started coughing very badly.

Flutter-.

I could also hear the sound of falling.

I grabbed the door as I heard the sound of my breath falling out.

“Dihon!”

Then the maid was startled and blocked my arm.

“Ha, if you enter carelessly, a bad spirit could transfer to Young master—.”

“If Young master dies like this, will you take responsibility? I take responsibility for everything that happens after I open the door. Open the door. Scout, this is an order.”

“… Order!?”

When I told her about my eyes, the maid was surprised.

She became extremely anxious and let go of her hand on the doorknob.

I burst through the door and grabbed the boy who was lying in the middle of the room.

The guy’s skin was pale, and his breathing was weak, but he was conscious.

“… Selim said that no one else should come in…”

The skin was so cold that it had a bluish tint.

His health didn’t look very good.

That’s bound to happen.

Selim, when he said that he would draw out Dihon’s blood with an unsterilized knife as much as a bowl, it was a natural result that something like this would happen.

“Heart disease causes blood circulation problems. In the meantime, blood was drawn, and blood pressure was lowered, so of course the body broke down.”

Rather, I’m surprised that I’m still alive.

Now, it seemed like the boy’s body had a longer lifeline than I thought.

The bones were thick.

Is he really Psyche’s younger brother and Doban’s son?

In that case, of course this guy must also be an Auror user.

“Dihon, from today onwards, I will take full charge of your treatment. Selim, I think it would be very problematic to have that old man next to you any longer.”

Zek-.

I stood up.

It was the moment when the goal was decided.

I went straight to Dovan Agarpe’s office.

Early morning.

He was talking about something with Selim at the time.

“Son-in-law, what’s going on?”

“Count, please stop treating Selim. His treatment is actually killing Dihon. If you stop Selim for just one week, I will make Dihon better.”
