Episode 77

So Merha went out for a walk to calm her temper. What caught Merha's eyes was Elisha taking her Nora for a walk.

'Who is that woman?'

She was neatly dressed but luxurious, and a beauty with milky skin. As you can see, she was no ordinary woman.

Moreover, the woman who followed her like a shadow was Nora, the most famous female knight in the Empire. Merha recognized Nora.

'Come. The fact that I'm taking care of that girl. That must be the bride of Lucerne.'

Merha's anger exploded as soon as she saw Elisha.

'A bitch who became a source of trouble for my family, is she openly roaming around the temple facilities under my influence?'

Things weren't going well with the family lately. Arien and Marco lived together in Merha's capital's mansion, sister-in-law. Marco and Arien fought every day, blaming each other for the failure of the auction.

She knew her son was ugly, but even her daughter-in-law was consistently ugly, so there were many days when Merha was angry at her house. Arien always repeated the same words of hers.

'It's because Lucerne got the wrong woman and this is what happened. Elisha or something, that sorceress, that bitch is the source of trouble in our family! That's what tricked Marco into doing it this way.'

Merha roared at her as she strode closer.

“What a lowly thing is walking around the temple openly! How dare you know where this is?”

Nora and Elisha were startled and saw the middle-aged man approaching her with a fiery rage. Priests passing by approached them wondering what was going on.

“What do you mean by that? This is Miss Rosaria's disciple. Miss Rosaria has also allowed it, so there is no place that our mistress cannot go in this monastery. Besides, isn't this monastery under Rosaria-sama's jurisdiction?”

Nora snapped. At those words, Merha snorted.

“The Archbishop of Rosaria raised her prostitute. Huh? A courtesan with her illegitimate son carries her face before the gods in broad daylight. Huh true. You are the fault of Archbishop Rosaria.”

Nora's face turned blue at the insult. Nora clenched her teeth. Had it not been for the Cartier family, Nora would have drawn her sword.

“If they see me, they will come running and greet me politely. Can't even the adults in the family recognize this?”

Merha shouted even louder. Then Elisha took a step forward. Elisha asked softly.

“Can the superior of a whore's family be a pimp?”

As she walked around, she stopped and even the priest and Nora, who were watching, stopped breathing. She doubted her ears.

“I don't see it. However, if you wish, I will greet you. It is not difficult.”

This time, Merha's face turned blue.

*​ *​ *​

“What, what are you saying? This bitch.”

Merha was so upset that her brain seemed to be starved of oxygen. He was going to run wild soon, but he suppressed his anger once and endured it. He recalled Elisha's notoriety that had spread to the streets.

'The poisonous snake bitch that eats poisonous snakes, said that a very crazy bitch had three tongues.'

He laughed He believed he was an expert at dealing with mad dogs. At the same time, the cruelty peculiar to the Cartier family flashed through his mind.

The Cartier family members had one talent in common. It was knowing how to bully others effectively. Surprisingly, that talent was also a talent that awakened innately, even to members who came into the family through marriage.

“You're a bitch, as I've heard. But. Your husband has also been lowly since childhood and a dirty guy from the seed. Since he is an illegitimate child, what can he do?”

That is exactly what Elisha had to say. The Cartier family insulted Lucerne as an illegitimate child, but that was an insult that could only be established when there was a child from the original wife.

It's just that Lucerne's mother was known as a lowly citizen, so she couldn't get married, but Lucerne's father had only one Lucerne as a child all his life, and the two risked their lives to love each other and gave birth to him.

'It's strange, it's not like a day or two for the Cartier family to do this. Why are you so angry?'

Elisha couldn't understand herself. A bitter rage filled her heart. In the past…… I don't know, but I didn't like Lucerne being cursed at right now.

Although there was no change in facial expression on the outside, Elisha's next words were spat out coldly.

“I don't know why you suddenly appear and say this, I wonder if you can say this in front of my husband.”

“…….”

“Nora, let's go. I don't think it's worth saying any more.”

“Because these humble years want to listen!”

Merha's hand went up. The priests screamed.

“You shouldn't do this!”

“Let go. These bitches can't be put into words. You have to hit it and teach it up and down.”

Merha shook off her priests and raised her hand to Elisha. Elisha looked at Merha without moving. She didn't mind getting hit.

“Please stop.”

When she opened her eyes, Nora was looking at Mer Ha with her burning eyes. Merha's wrist was held by Nora.

“Don't let go of this? You're acting like a knight on the subject of a woman. Come on, yes You must be Lucerne's concubine, right?”

“Stop it, I said.”

Her Merha struggled so hard that her face turned red, but when she couldn't get her hand out of Nora's slender hand, she couldn't breathe as if she was blocked by a wall.

“Ugh!”

Rather, as Nora tightened her grip more and more, she sweated profusely.

Nora let go of her hand just before her merha broke her arm. Nora was looking at Merha with an eerie expressionless expression. She looked at her merha and slowly put her hand on her sword, which hung around her waist.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok.”

Merha was dripping with sweat all over her body. A middle-aged man who was nervous about her skinny appearance, so she didn't look too nice. Merha burst into her rage when she saw Nora's flesh coming out of her body.

“It's Yoo Yoo Sang Jong. Since he is a lowly man, he will greet a lowly wife and a lowly subordinate. Let's see. How dare you draw a sword on someone from the Cartier family? I'll get Lucerne's hands to dispose of that mad dog bitch.”

“God teaches that all people are servants of the same God, regardless of social status. I don't know why you say that. More than anyone else, the one who shouldn't speak of nobles knows no shame.”

Elisha said coldly.

“I will answer you. I taught Lucerne very strictly when I was young. She taught her several times to repent of her own lowliness and become a full-fledged man. But he's stubborn, he doesn't know how to submit to the end, he doesn't know how to bend. He is arrogant in nature. Just like my father.”

Elisha looked at him calmly. But in her eyes was the first anger she had ever felt before.

Obviously Lucerne said. Merha, she said, tried to rule him out by starving and whipping him as a child. The time when Lucerne was in the temple was very young. A child under the age of ten……. He was so abusive.

“You think so.”

Insulting her husband in front of her eyes, Elisha only closed and opened her eyes once, but she didn't move much. On the contrary, he looked at Merha more and more calmly.

Merha felt relieved after spitting out her stomach-filled anger once. However, when she saw Elisha looking at her calmly and not in the slightest fear, the next moment she thought, 'Isn't this?'

'What the hell is this year? Is there a hidden background?'

It was to the point where Merha was confused for a moment as to who the hell was a high-ranking priest and who was a fallen nobleman.

“Nora. Let's go.”

Elisha, who stared at Merha for a while, turned her back without saying hello to her. Nora clenched her fists and followed Mer Ha.

“Lady.”

Nora whispered as she hurriedly followed Elisha. Elisha slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

“A grown-up bragging about abusing a child. And that grown-up is the candidate for the Grand Pope.”

“…….”

“This won't work. Yes?”

“…….”

Nora startled and nodded her head. Elisha's eyes were very sincere as she spoke her words quietly and gracefully. At the same time, she was to blame for the feeling of indescribable dignity.

Elisha didn't say anything, but she was No. She felt like she heard Elisha.

If I had to imagine, it was that kind of word.

*​ *​ *​

At that time, Elisha and Nora found the two sisters hiding in the alley watching them.

'It wasn't a good look for the children.'

Elisha said she wanted to sigh. She spoke to her children with the shape of her mouth.

'Sorry.'

The girls' eyes widened as if they couldn't understand the meaning. The children ran away with the toys they were playing with. Elisha followed her back.

“Which is the lodging where you stayed before?”

“We just need to go a little further south.”

“It is better to go there. The place where the noble ladies are staying is the Golden Nam area, so even High Priestess Merha won't be able to come after her.”

Elisha nodded her head. As she walked a little faster, Elisha's head cooled down and cleared a little.

'Anyway, the end of Merha is near.'

Elisha ran her fingers over her lower lip.

'Strangely, his anger gradually cools down, and he has bad thoughts?'

Surely Lucerne would be very angry if he found out about this. The virtue of her good wife is that at a time like this she would have to stop Lucerne.

'I don't really want to do that this time. However, today is not the day.'

Elisha slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

However, she didn't have much left.
