Chapter 91 – 091 – Hyde Clashes With the King’s Children # 5

091 – Hyde clashes with the king’s children # 5

“Hyde. Are you sure it’s okay?”

Psyche had tears in her eyes, like a wife seeing her husband off on the battlefield.
He seemed worried about me.

“I know very well that Lord Atalanta is merciless. “If you go against Lord Atalanta’s wishes, Hyde, you might die!”

Now I had to go to Atalanta’s office.

It was because I heard such an order.

Neither Psyche nor Alter could accompany her to that place, and Milione was even more prohibited from entering.

Therefore, it was said that it was up to me to deal with Atalanta.

Zek-.

Psyche rummaged through her pockets and took out something.
It was a whistle about as long as my little finger.

It had a string attached, so it felt like hanging around the neck like a necklace, and it looked quite rough.

“Hyde, if by any chance your life is in danger, blow this whistle. Then, I will be waiting nearby and come to Lord Atalanta’s office right away!”

In other words, it was meant to be a whistle to summon Psyche.

When I put it in my mouth and made a sound, it made a peculiar sound like a flute.

It was like the sound of a bird of prey flying in the sky.

It is a very intense noise.

“The men of the Agarpe family raised thunder eagles. “Thunder eagles are now extinct, but this is the flute used to tame them.”

Thunder Repair.

I heard that it is a bird of prey so large that it can hunt horses and cows by grabbing them with its feet.

There is a reason why the symbol of the Agarpe family is the bird of prey, the thunder eagle, because they were raised and bred.

A bird of prey as big as a cow.

I trembled as I thought of something like that flying in the sky.

“Isn’t this flute the symbol and treasure of the Agarpe family? “Is it okay if you give me something like this?”

“Actually, I wanted to give you a gift for my birthday next month. I wanted to give it to you in a more attractive packaging. “I’m sorry I couldn’t even put it in the box.”

Even though it wasn’t a gift in a box or wrapping paper, I was slightly moved by this flute.

When you play this flute, Psyche will storm into Atalanta’s office─.

What that action meant was that he was willing to risk a falling out with the church for my sake.

I can’t believe Psyche thought that much of me.

Of course, I would never actually play this flute.

I’ve got my wife Psyche hooked on her 7 knights and I can’t ruin it.
If the Agarpe family started fighting with the religious order now, my original church would disappear.

I am a priest of the Agarpe Church!

Piri Riri-.

Still, I tried playing the flute again with a happy heart.

It was a sound that felt Psyche’s heart.

However, Milione, who was looking at this situation, was really disgusted.

“Ugh. That sounds really terrible. Isn’t the reason why Durgien’s thunder eagles became extinct because the sound of their flutes was so terrible? “It’s the sound of vomiting.”

How dare you say that I am throwing up at the gift Psyche gave me!

Milione’s heart was very bad.

Does this sound that terrible?

Suddenly, I remembered the flute that Oscar Archibald played before he died.

The guy played the flute and Ras got so angry that he jumped out and almost killed everyone.

Perhaps Milione dislikes high-pitched flute sounds?

It would be good to be careful in many ways.

“Then I will come back.”

Zek-.

After saying hello to Psyche, I headed to Atalanta’s office.

Her office was in the barracks where the soldiers of the Holy See were stationed, and I went to Atalanta’s room while receiving the attention of quite a few men.

“Lord Atalanta. “This is Hyde.”

The place where Atalanta stayed was like a barracks in the field.

It was a tent with intense decorations, perhaps because Atalanta was from the barbarian Domarian tribe.

Palak-.

Soon the curtain used as the entrance to the tent opened and someone’s hand popped out.

Pot-.

An arm grabbing my wrist and pulling me in.

Is this how people feel when they are mauled by a tiger as big as their house?

Atalanta frowned like a tiger and spoke as if scolding me.

“Why are you so late!”

“Didn’t you tell me to come by 2 p.M.? “It’s not yet 2 o’clock.”

Actually, I came 10 minutes early.

Looking at me like that, Atalanta opened her narrow eyes.

“Then why did you come so quickly? Are you now ignoring me because I am a barbarian and a woman? Do you also think I can’t be king?”

The growling form was like a mountain lion stalking its prey.

My personality is a bit loud.

Because she had such a bad personality, she couldn’t get married until she was 25.

“It won’t work either. “Wait.”

Pot-.

Atalanta left me in her office, and then she disappeared outside the tent.
She gets angry and disappears and is very moody.

I have now looked inside this tent.

Inside the tent, all kinds of accessories and bones were hung like trophies, and it looked like a barbaric totem.

From what I heard, they are all loot taken from opponents on the battlefield, right?

Desire to show off.

That seemed to be the essence of Atalanta.

Although she is the adopted son of the Pope, she is a barbarian woman of humble origin.
She must have been discriminated against, knowingly or unknowingly, and because of that, her personality must have become more twisted and eccentric.

Of course, her past and upbringing should not have excused her from doing bad things.

I’ll fix your very messy hair.

When I thought that, Atalanta came back.

Her body was completely soaked with water, and she had five sachets containing her scented candles on her belt.
Did you take a shower?

“Do you care about your body odor?”

“Shut up!”

I kept my mouth shut.

But it seemed like Atalanta was concerned about her own body odor.

“Is it perhaps because of what is written in ‘The Old Maid’? The princess ‘Italante’ who appears in the story could not get married until she was 25.”

Old maid.

It was a story about Italante, the princess of a certain kingdom.

She boasted, “I will marry someone stronger than me!”, But that person did not appear until she was 25.

In the end, at the age of 25, she was cursed by the monster Rust, turned into a person with a strange old maid smell, and no man would love Italante.

“That’s not me!”

Scream!

Atalanta screams.

Just that alone made my bones tingle.

“Be careful what you say!”

Zek-.

Atalanta now grabbed me by the collar.

Although I was tall, she easily lifted my collar with one hand. I thought she must have been extremely strong.

“Don’t forget that I can crush you to death with just one finger without even calling the soldiers. “I now have the power over your life and death.”

Kuwoouk-.

I was quite suffocated because I was grabbed by the collar.

But I have to say what I have to say.

“Lord Atalanta will regret it if you kill me now. If that’s the case, Rust’s curse will never be lifted.”

“Curse?”

Zek-.

I pointed to my nose with my index finger.

I said when I felt Atalanta’s frowning eyes turn to my index finger and nose.

“Due to Rust’s curse, Lord Atalanta’s body is emitting a terrible odor. This comes from the mind, not the body. Even if you wash it, it won’t have any effect.”

Kuwoouk-.

Atalanta grabbed my collar even stronger.

But the pain is only temporary.

Zek-.

Atalanta took down my collar.

She then smelled her own shoulder or arm.

“Damn it. It seems like it really smells. Just today, I’ve already taken a bath three times! What on earth is this?”

I took a bath three times.

In fact, it was useless.

Because Atalanta didn’t smell anything in particular except for the smell of soap and scented candles.

However, Atalanta continued to twitch her nose and frown.

“It really stinks!!!”

It was a very nervous attitude.

It looks like he’s almost going crazy.

While the stress over the competition for the throne is at its peak, books defaming him are being spread everywhere, so he must have lost his mind.

It wasn’t strange if I felt a smell that wasn’t there.

I decided to take control of the conversation from this crazy man.

“I understand that the reason you called me was because of Rust’s curse. I can tell you how, but there are conditions. Apologize to my wife Psyche, and apologize to me as well.”

“What’s wrong?”

“If you don’t apologize, this is the end of my story.”

“If you leave this room like this, your life will be over!”

Crying-.

The threatening look seemed familiar.

Have you made threats like this often?

It might have worked for other people, but it didn’t work for me who lives with the Lord.

“I have been entrusted with an important mission by His Holiness Pope Gregory. “If you treat me like that, won’t you be hated by His Holiness Gregory, no matter how much I am Lord Atalanta?”

“The Pope gave you a mission?”

“I can’t tell you what it is.”

A secret mission that cannot be told.

No matter how stupid Atalanta is, you can feel how important it is.

If you did something to me like that, Atalanta would be punished at least a little.

And he will fall even further behind the Dukes of Rehoboham and Cushan, who are competing for the throne.

Wow-.

Atalanta ground her teeth as if she was truly indignant.

It made a sound like a boiling kettle.

Don’t you want to do something that will result in your points being lowered by the Pope?

It seemed like Atalanta was sincere in her goal of becoming king.

# ​ ​​​ ​ ​ # ​ ​ #

Atalanta was a woman of no means.

The moment she became the Pope’s child, she decided to live like that, and she lived like that.

She wanted to be king.

A king who does not give in to anyone and does not have to obey anyone.

She was now feeling humiliation like she had never felt before in this world.

‘Why should I go out in such a low manner to this bastard that looks like I could crush him to death with just one finger?’

Atalanta hated the weak.

The reason her own clan was wiped out by the knights of her church was because the warriors of her tribe were weaker than the knights of the church.
This was because Smerti, the god of death believed in by the Domarian tribe, was weaker than Elohim, the god believed in by the kingdom people.

Being weak to Atalanta meant her death.
Her goal was to win at all costs and become stronger.

‘Why am I to this guy!’

Hyde.

He was a truly incompetent person.

He should bow down to a guy like that.
Already, that fact alone felt like Atalanta’s stomach was turning, and she was dizzy.
A situation where cold sweat breaks out from her body.

Sniff-.

Atalanta twitched her nose unconsciously.
Then her pungent smell suddenly rose and gave me goosebumps.

‘Fuck, it really stinks!’

The Domarian people used a unique spice called ‘oil garlic’ in meals and spells.

The church’s hounds, which had tracked the scent of the spice, killed all the tribesmen.

Among the tribesmen, Atalanta was the only one who disliked oil and garlic, and Atalanta was able to survive because she had the least body odor among the Domarians.

To survive is to be strong.

But now, Atalanta’s nose was filled with the strong smell of garlic that she had once felt from the tribesmen.

It was the smell of death.

Rust.

The man’s rumors and witchcraft, which sounded exaggerated, seemed to be true.

Atalanta felt creepy at that fact.

‘Fuck! Surviving comes first. ‘You sloppy man, if I become king, I can kill rats and birds without anyone noticing.’

Zek-.

Atalanta finally gave in to his pride and spoke.

“Good. Hyde. I apologize to you. And I also apologize to Psyche. “Publicly!”
