Episode 66
Elisha opened her eyes wide. Under her moonlight, her lips overlapped. What a strange…… It was a kiss. He pressed her Elisha's lips very carefully. On the side, in the air, her lips met.
Elisha unconsciously pursed her lips and waited for Lucerne's tongue. He held Elisha by the back of her head as Lucerne's tongue slowly slipped into her mouth.
The cold sound of sucking each other's tongues lingered in Elisha's ears. As Lucerne moved Elisha's head slowly, her tongue was moving like sparks in her mouth.
A small spark seemed to go off in her head. For a moment, her knees almost gave out. Lucerne got excited and tried to pull Elisha's body tight, but stopped on her back. He clasped her hand on Elisha's back.
“It tantalizes me. You should get well soon.”
“…….”
“So I can make you look pretty in bed.”
Elisha turned her head away, hiding her pink face. She just wiped the corners of her mouth.
“Let's go in.”
Lucerne said quietly. He supported her Elisha very carefully and carried her away slowly.
And when he got to her room, he laid Elisha on her bed and looked her up and down. Elisha told Lucerne earlier, 'I don't want anything but to have.' If she hadn't been given that kind of line, she would have been suspicious of her intentions.
“When everything is fine.”
Lucerne said.
“I think you should tie your hands and hang them around my neck. And I won't let go until you cry up and down and I'll lift you up from the bottom.”
“…….”
Elisha wanted to glance at him. She covered herself with the blanket and pretended not to know. Lucerne covered her with the blanket up to her neck.
“I can't trust you completely. And you have to follow my control There are still a lot of uncertainties.”
Elisha nodded her head. She did not expect his complete trust.
“Follow your heart.”
“But I will cooperate with your plan.”
“…….”
Elisha's arm twitched.
“However, what are you thinking? I need to know everything you plan and do.”
“I know. I will not disappoint you.”
Elisha said cautiously.
“Therefore. How were you planning to move me next time?”
“Please let me meet only one person.”
“Okay.”
Lucerne nodded her head.
“Do you know who to ask to meet?”
“Know. Probably one of the two. And both are possible.”
Elisha's eyes widened at the name Lucerne whispered. Elisha nodded her head. They were thinking the same number.
“Yes. Then you can.”
“But only after you get better.”
“Yes. And, the price of Yurif's land. Then-“
“I'll pay for the land without any problems, and I'll send people out to make sure no one comes in. You just have to decide how to wield that weakness and how flashily to expose it.”
Elisha couldn't help the rare smile. Maybe they were villains who matched each other better than Jacob and Carola.
However, Elisha thought that Lucerne was a much better person than them. And in this lifetime, she thought, she was lucky to be working for Lucerne.
“And I might have something to spend some money on sooner or later.”
“I'll set the payoff for you in the future, so just leave a record and use it as you like. We'll review it later, but you don't have to ask permission individually.”
Elisha nodded her head. It was fortunate that Lucerne was much more tolerant than I thought.
“Thanks. General.”
Elisha said quietly.
“Instead. I have a condition.”
Elisha widened her eyes.
“Call me by name.”
It was not a difficult request. Elisha meekly nodded her head.
“Yes. Lucerne.”
The power in Lucerne's hands was released and he returned. His hand was still on Elisha's torso, which covered the blanket.
“Then. Sleep well.”
Lucerne did not answer. However, his strange expression lingered in Elisha's mind for a long time that night.
Indeed, he was a strange man. Elisha echoed the thought she had over and over again.

Elisha spent time in her hospital bed.
'If you have money, your body will heal quickly.'
This time, Elisha realized. Is it a welfare level? Is it a level of compensation? Lucerne summoned three famous doctors from the capital, including the priest, to examine Elisha's body.
Elisha was surprised inside. It was true that the priest with real holy power activated the body's functions and increased the natural healing ability. However, their ransom was in the billions.
'I'm not asking you to ask me for this money later…….'
In the first place, it was not a fatal injury, but the recovery was fast, but Lucerne had the doctors and priests directly see and report the results of the treatment. Whenever that happened, their faces would turn gray.
'Even high-ranking priests and doctors are afraid of Lucerne…….'
As she stayed in bed for a week or two, Elisha became increasingly bored. Then came the day of the moon. At the beginning of winter, when the moon was at its biggest, she went before everyone else and said a prayer.
She wasn't particularly religious, but since she was little, she went to the temple on the day of the moon, so she involuntarily wanted to go to pray. Elisha brought her words out with difficulty.
“On the day of the moon, there are many people, so it is not possible. But the day after tomorrow will be fine.”
Lucerne said bluntly. So Elisha missed her timing to say, 'I can go alone.'
'I didn't mean to ask you to go with me.'
But I think he'll get angry if she ignores her sincerity. She said she just knew that Elisha.
If she knew what day it was, she wouldn't have nodded her head so calmly.

Lapis took on the role of throwing the glove himself as a result of a fierce competition-lottery. He triumphantly entered the headquarters of the Templars and threw his white glove onto the visible knight's cheek.
He said, “I have come to ask for the guilt of causing harm to the body of our hostess. It is a duel between knights and knights!”
“What? Is this kid crazy?”
The armored knight spat out a curse.
“How dare you not know that a puppy is afraid of adults. It went well today. I'll break some and send them away.”
“For a moment. Wait.”
However, a fellow knight dissuaded him from doing so. They looked at Lapis' clothes. A black uniform that fits tightly to the body.
The frame attached to the body was a blue royal blue. And on her chest was a golden brooch.
Among the knights of the Temple Knights who rushed out, one person recognized the clothes. The facial expressions they made at that moment were the ones that even a death god had seen. Usually boys aren't threatening, but……. The seed of the Black Lion Knights, and a young boy…….
“Razrida, the first-ranked magician in the empire, avoid everyone!”
“Fuck, is it Lapis?”
At that moment, all the men who were running away were floating in the air.
“Our captain and lord Lucerne said so.”
“Ugh, yup!”
“When one guy was beaten, a hundred people told him to be prepared and beat him.”
“…….”
“I've cut up to 400 monsters. What about people?”
Lapis smiled.
“Let's set a new record today.”
“Eww! Ugh!”
The bodies of the men floating in the air began to shrink as if under the pressure of the air. It was Lapis' magic.
Bang! Bang! At the same time, as if someone was playing an organ, all the furniture inside the knights rose into the air and began to slam their bodies on the floor. The knight who ran to hit the lapis in front collapsed while urinating.

The reason why Lapis defeated the Knights of the Temple with great vigor was simple.
Lucerne did not allow the knights to take revenge. But in front of them pretending to be indifferent, Elisha threw the whip she had taken from her assailant and went.
Ian just said that he was investigating, and then came back two weeks later and she said:
'This horsewhip is an old whip that was temporarily distributed to the Knights of the Temple four years ago.'
The knights looked at each other and smiled ferociously. Thirty knights, including Sid, mobilized as the Temple Knights the very next day.
“It was Marco.”
Said Nora.
“Yeah, so what happened to the guy who attacked your wife?”
“He was found on the run to the border. A temple knight with cross scars on his face. He went into hiding right away but was caught by the tail in his bar, Ian said.”
Corinne said. Lazri stood still. Soon, a loud noise started to come from inside Lapis entered first.
“Let's go!”
The knights grinned and rushed inside holding swords. Soon a terrible scream erupted.

Elisha didn't know that Lucerne would really follow her to the temple. The temple is dead quiet, Elisha thought she was very strange.
“Today, there is no one before Daesinjeon. It's always a noisy place.”
Elisha turned her head while looking at the huge picture of List Ralpo hanging at the entrance to the main hall of the new building.
“The temple is quiet a day or two before the moon day.”
“Well, the day of the moon is said to be the most powerful day of the year. So, everyone be patient and come back in two days.”
“Do you think it will come true if you make a wish on a day with strong holy power?”
“No, if the world were that easy, everyone would pray every day. I just come here to make myself feel better.”
In the first place, Elisha was not very religious. Growing up in her monastery, coming to her temple was a kind of inertia.
Anyway, that put my mind at ease. Her days in her monastery were the most peaceful of her Elisha's life.
“Aren't you wishing?”
Lucerne shook his head. He waited for Elisha to look around her shrine.
He was such a great and high-ranking man that it was unfamiliar to her to show her patience in this way.
In a previous life, people said of Lucerne that he was a man who was cruel and cold to everything in this world. But he said that loyalists are not indifferent.
Elisha felt that she was getting closer and closer to her entourage, which Lucerne cared for, and she was a little overjoyed.
