Chapter 49 – 049 – Hyde, Heading to the Convent!? # One
049 – Hyde, heading to the convent!? # 1
“Those who fall under witchcraft leave traces of magical power. Magical power is an evil energy. But Monk Hyde, there are no traces of magic left on you.”
A man with a leather bag over his face freed me from being tied to his chair. Although he was possessed by Rust, he felt innocent because there were no aftereffects or side effects.
Paladin Alter, who was watching this situation, asked.
“Hyde, is there really no problem? I heard that Rust is a terrible demon. If a man like that took over his body even for a moment, it would definitely affect his body.”
Well, if you think about it with common sense, it was like that.
But Rust comes from me, and I’m Hyde, so what’s the impact?
However, if I told the truth like that, it was obvious that the interrogator would set me down on a chair and then burn me.
I said with a somewhat solemn expression.
“I guess there won’t be any problems because I am a more faithful and religious monk than anyone else. Also, I actually gave Rust a punch.”
“You gave Rust a punch?”
“It wouldn’t have been easy to steal my body. Rust will definitely feel the aftereffects and will not be seen in the world for a while. I’m sure.”
Not for the time being, Rust should not be out in the world anymore.
I want to do that.
How many crazy things have you had to put on your mask over the past few days?
If you think about it carefully, it was a dizzying experience.
I have committed too many sins.
While I was reciting a prayer of repentance with that thought in mind, Alter tapped me on the back.
“Is this the devout monk Hyde? It seems so. While you were being interrogated by the interrogators, I read the novel “The Village of Back-Alley Nymphs” That you wrote.”
“You read that?”
My masterpiece.
However, for some reason, it only received harsh reviews in Florence.
Psyche and her younger brother Dihon were having fun and making a fuss.
I was a little discouraged by the continued harsh criticism these days, and I was nervous about what this alter guy would say about my story.
That’s the original writing.
No matter how confident you are, you always get nervous when you show it to others.
“It was very fun, right? I also liked those nymphs. “I thought it would be good to read it to the children in the preschool group I am in charge of at Barakhan.”
“Really?”
Look.
After all, the real recognizes the real?
Alter Archibald.
To be honest, he seemed like a very proud person, so there was a part of him that I didn’t like a little – a little, really – but that was the moment when that feeling completely disappeared.
This guy is a good guy.
Alter said.
“I especially liked the part in the beginning where the nymph tries hard not to lose hope in an unfamiliar world.”
Oh.
This guy knows something.
“That’s the part I put the most effort into writing! Alter, do you have more eyes than the artist Florence? I guess the nickname ‘paladin’ isn’t given to just anyone.”
Alter.
Like ‘the ex-virgin Psyche,’ she was a knight who resisted the cultists until the end. In some ways, can he be seen as a trustworthy person in terms of faith?
However, he was a humbler friend than I thought.
“I don’t think I’m that great. I really enjoyed reading it. “Speaking of which, would you mind showing it to His Holiness the Pope?”
“To the Pope?”
King of the Church.
It is a similar title to the Pope of the 21st century Vatican, but although the two are similar, they are different from each other. The Pope was both a religious leader and the king of this United Kingdom.
Even though the Uniger royal family was extinct, someone had to occupy the position of ‘king’. Anyway, he was a great person.
Even I, who was called Rust of the Great Sins, had never even met Pope Gregory II.
Will I ever be able to meet you in this life?
What if my “Village of Back Alley Nymphs” Is so interesting that you call me Barakhan? What if Coramdeo and Medici appoint me to the vacant archbishop position because of problems?
As I was coming out of the interrogation room with that thought in mind, Alter placed his hand on my shoulder.
“Hyde my friend, this is just a question between men, but what do you think of my sister Millie? “I think it would be nice if you married my sister.”
“Really?”
“Monk Hyde, wooden tablet of Agarpe. When I heard about what kind of guy he was, I didn’t trust him in many ways, but when I saw him in person, I understood. “You are a trustworthy man.”
“Of course.”
“And the amazing thing is that even though your body was taken away by that man named Rust, you got it back on your own. Have you seen the artist Michelan?”
Michelan.
Even though the man was released as not guilty, he is still in prison?
It’s because they tried to set fires here and there.
“He’s the man who casts a ‘hypnosis’ so strong that Michelan can’t escape from it. I heard that Galatea, the Knight of Heavenly Punishment, was also injured by Rust and is receiving treatment?”
It seemed that Alter knew Galatea’s name.
That’s right, she was a good enough female knight that I recognized her.
If you were discerning enough to recognize the true value of my novel, you would naturally have taken note of Galatea.
“You can control people at will. It’s an unprecedented power. It’s such a dangerous ability. His Holiness Gregory also personally issued a teaching notice.”
“His Holiness the Pope?”
What message did the Pope give to Rust?
When I was curious, Alter said.
“Rust, they told me to kill that man at all costs. All sinners have the right to be forgiven, the right to defend themselves, and the right to be tried, but Rust says this is not the case.”
Are you saying he should be killed unconditionally?
Well, it was something I had already expected.
It’s the same as the last 5 years.
“Anyway, it was nice to meet you, Hyde. Archibald Mansion will be noisy for a while. Florence, no, Durgien, and the kingdom will be in trouble. I think it would be best for you to return to the Agarpe Estate.”
I thought so too.
There would be nothing better to stay in Florence than this.
I got everything I got in the first place.
We were also promised the dispatch of one of the six knights and the Knights of the Temple.
“What about Milione?”
However, I was concerned about Milione.
Did you say that Milione Archibald is currently on probation at Archibald Mansion?
# # # #
“Oh my!”
Milione was annoyed.
1 year.
This time it was her time to serve at the convent.
The convent was full of strict nuns, so it was a boring and uninteresting place.
‘Why should I go to a place like that!’
She said it was Alter Archibald’s suggestion.
Since Milione Archibald has been in many troubles, it is certain that she will be criticized for this incident, and it is better for her to hide in a convent for about a year.
“Do I have to go to that boring Grande convent again?”
A space for female monks located in the Palcea region.
Just thinking about it made her want to run away somewhere because she thought she had to go to that boring place.
‘If the death penalty had been carried out, she would have just caused a scene and run away and lived under the name Lars for the rest of her life.’
Milione had no attachment to her own name.
The same was true in the life of ‘Milione Archibald’.
She thought that if she received the death penalty, she would drop everything and live with a hot mask, but that did not happen.
It was because a man intervened and disrupted everything.
“Hyde, that guy. They really overturned the ruling.”
Of course, it was not Hyde who overturned the ruling, but the Pope’s doctrine brought by her brother, Alter.
‘My dad probably had a hand in it. However, it was Hyde who bought time while Alter traveled from Baracán to Florence. That guy is a lot better than I thought.’
Milione, out of her pure heart, chose to acknowledge Hyde’s contribution. She was also the only man who raised her hand when no one else came to her defense.
Why is that so?
Because he is a true priest who does not turn away the innocent?
No, Milione didn’t think so.
‘No, there is no such thing as a true priest in the world.’
Medici’s daughter.
Alter’s younger sister, Milione, knew that fact better than anyone else. So why did Hyde do something reckless for himself?
At that time, the maid who was combing Milione’s hair said.
“Miss Millie, you are so pretty. “Because you are so beautiful, I guess Lord Hyde risked his life to defend you, right?”
Milione looked at her own reflection in her mirror. She had bathed three times and had her hair groomed by her maids, making her shiny and very attractive.
“Lord Hyde, wasn’t it cool? He’s tall too. Your skin is white, and your face is handsome.”
“Is that guy handsome?”
Milione frowned.
Hyde is handsome.
I’ve never really thought about that.
Soon the maid laughed.
“Well, Miss Milly, who has been watching Alter and Medici next to her, may not know, but she has a pretty face. The only flaw is that she looks a little depressed.”
“I see.”
It was time for her to think that way.
Knock-.
Someone knocked on the door.
━This is Hyde. Can I come in?
“Ouch! “Miss, I’ll go now!”
The maid retreating.
At the same time, Hyde came in.
“You weren’t told to come in.”
Milione was slightly annoyed.
Hyde shrugged his shoulders at that.
“There was no one telling you not to come in.”
“So, why?”
“Grande was told she had to go to a convent for a year. She just said have a nice trip. I am now going back to Agarpe. I have been indebted to you a lot during this time. “Our marriage story ended up falling apart.”
That was the end of Hyde’s words.
As he bowed his head and stepped away, Milione felt something slightly subtle about her. Even though I didn’t know what it was.
“Oh, I forgot for a second—.”
Zek-.
At that time, Hyde turned around.
Milione was startled and asked, adjusting her posture.
“What? What did I forget? “Do you have something to say to me?”
“Yes, I heard there is a letter from Agarpe Estate? “It is clearly a letter from Psyche to me.”
“Ah.”
Soon, the maid who was quietly listening to her story next to her clicked her tongue and said, “Tch.” The maid rummaged through the pocket of her apron and handed Hyde a red-sealed letter.
Monk Hyde sniffed the letter and was very happy.
“Psyche, you are sending me a letter.”
“…”
Milione thought it was her first time seeing Hyde, a man with a somewhat gloomy expression, smile so brightly.
Are you really that happy to have received a letter from Psyche?
‘You’ve never laughed like that in front of me.’
Milione suddenly felt bad.
Even Milione didn’t know why he was in a bad mood.
It was because it was the first time I felt this way since I was born.
Anger?
No, it felt slightly different from that.
So Milione let out emotions she didn’t even know she had.
“I’m sure they sent divorce papers. Hyde, you are being abandoned by Psyche. It’s already been a month since we haven’t seen each other, right? “When the body becomes distant, the mind also becomes distant.”
“I don’t think so.”
Gugit─.
Hyde opened the letter as Milione frowned.
# # #
“Hyde, how are you? I think you sent me a letter, but I actually didn’t read it. I am currently in the Palcea region with Lord Galatea.
Why am I in the Palcea region? Furthermore, I’m here to see my teacher!
The nun here was the one who taught me swordsmanship when I was young, and she was so great that she was called the ‘maiden of the sword’!”
Psyche, my love.
I feel healed just by looking at the writing.
Such a Psyche exists in the Palcea region.
Does this mean we can’t meet even if we return to Agarpe?
“I’m running low on paper and ink, so I’ll just keep it simple and tell you my business. Hyde, do you know anything about demon-possessed people? There is a person possessed by a ghost in this Grande convent.
I want to save this person, what should I do?
He keeps saying unintelligible things and crawling on the ceiling every night!
Hyde, if you know how, please reply to this address.
PS: When will Volume 3 of Nymph’s Village come out? There are times when I can’t sleep because I’m curious about the next story.”
Indeed.
There was a sister who was having difficulties in the convent.
Psyche also had a kind heart.
However, I thought that if Psyche had vacated her territory, she might have been too defenseless. Well, the problem is that Parmas and the Temple Knights will be dispatched to the territory, so it doesn’t matter.
It was time to think like that.
Butler Fred entered the room.
“Lord Hyde! You are here! There is a message just given to you by His Holiness the Pope! Read on! “This is something I just received from Lord Alter!”
A teaching issued by the Pope?
Could it be that ‘Village of Back Alley Nymphs’, which I read through Alter’s introduction, was so interesting that it prompted me to write a sequel?
Cheolrrrr-.
“I appoint the eccentric monk Hyde as the priest in charge of the Agarpe Territory. And Priest Hyde should immediately head to the Palcea region and make contact with the abbess Midnar of the Grande Convent.”
This was the end of the written story.
Soon, Fred the butler handed me a box. It was an old-fashioned lacquered wooden box.
When I opened it, I saw a bronze cross shining blue inside.
Jinglang-.
“It’s a bronze rosary.”
“Oh, that’s amazing, Lord Hyde! To go from a wooden monk to a bronze priest right away! It seems that His Holiness the Pope is keeping an eye on you! “What a great honor!”
Fred.
As a skilled butler, he was happy with his work as if it were his own.
Having been promoted to a Bronze Plaque Priest, I also felt good, but I also had some doubts.
Go to the Grande Convent.
Soon, Milione, who was taking a quick glance at the school magazine next to me, spoke.
“It looks like they are sending us to chase away a ghost. Hyde, you are the man who kicked that rust out of her body, even if it was just by accident. It’s a coincidence, but even if it’s a coincidence, it’s amazing. I admit it honestly.”
“…”
“Rust is the demon of demons that anyone can exorcise. You’re the devil of devils, right? Since I chased out a living spirit like that, wouldn’t I be able to chase away other ghosts as well? That’s probably true.”
“What do you mean?”
“Hyde, do you know why me and Psyche are called the three flowers of the kingdom?”
I also clearly understood the reason.
“It’s because people are mistaken. In fact, the only flower of the kingdom is Psyche.”
“What… !? Hmm, okay, think whatever you want. Anyway, because there were three pretty people like me, I was called together. And one of them is at the Grande Convent.”
Three Flowers of the United Kingdom.
Does that mean it is the third time?
I had never heard of her and had never met her.
“What kind of woman are you?”
“You’re such a crazy bitch.”
─No, that’s you.
“I once had a serious accident and my dad forced me into the Grande Monastery. That’s when I met her. Really, wow, I’ve never seen a girl that crazy in my life. “I was really possessed by a ghost!”
That Milione would go so far as to say this.
Is this person really possessed by a ghost?
“That guy, her hair is pink too! How can human hair be pink!?”
A pink-haired woman possessed by a ghost.
I wanted to meet you once.
─Casting away the ghost possessed by an innocent person─.
If you dream of becoming a godly and great priest, this is one of the things you want to do at least once.
Perhaps the rumor of Priest Hyde, who exorcises ghosts, will spread widely, and believers will flock to Agarpe Church!
“Miglione, let’s go to the Grande Convent quickly!”
At the same time, I have to leave Milione at the Grande Monastery.
It was a perfect plan.
After all, I am smart!
