Episode 227
A dungeon where sunlight does not enter.
A prison where criminals who have committed lesser crimes than the catacombs are imprisoned.
A clean man who didnât fit in a dirty and dusty prison was imprisoned in a corner.
It was Callius.
âLooks good.â
Swoop.
Callius opened his eyes and saw a woman with arms crossed behind the bars.
The woman with one eye covered with a black cloth is one of the masters of Carpe.
It was Karina.
âWhat are you doing?â
âI heard that there was a criminal who violated the kingâs order, so I came and saw him. I knew that you, who are so arrogant, would become like this one day.â
âIf youâre trying to be sarcastic, get out of here.â
It was Karina who got rather angry when she answered roughly.
âYou are the one who has to turn off. Zervan.â
ââŚ?â
âYou donât think youâll be imprisoned for a while for disobeying the kingâs order, do you?â
âYou sound like you know what Iâm going to do.â
âknow. Since you have a new ball, there wonât be a big punishment. But the nobles will send you back to the battlefield.â
is that bee?
Callius smiled and nodded his head as if he had wished for it.
âItâs better.â
You never know how things will change.
There would be little concern about weakening the Air Force as soon as possible.
Those guys donât speak at all.
âKarina.â
âDonât call me friendly.â
âDid you instigate the nobles?â
âI am a knight. Would the knight who would annihilate Carpeâs nemesis play such a low game with the nobles?â
Carpeâs nemesis.
This means a spear and refers to an empire.
Having lost her younger brother to the Empire, Karina hates spears.
âThe Queen has sent your beloved saint. I feel like I have to tell you.â
What do I love?
Karinaâs face was full of ridicule.
âIt looks good after hanging out with the courtesan of the empire.â
Was it like that
I wondered why it was so aggressive, and that was the reason.
It was Callius, who had been rumored to be with the saintess of the empire.
Karina saw this as a bad thing.
However, that had nothing to do with Colliers.
ââŚDonât be cocky.â
ââŚâ
Whoops.
All the candles in the prison were extinguished.
The murderous breath that Colius spewed out instantly turned off all the lights in the hallway.
Inside the dark prison.
The only thing that shone brightly was his wolf-like gray eyes.
gulp.
Karinaâs hand made me grasp the hilt without realizing it.
âFire. It wonât end with freezing this time.â
âAre you trying to kill me, the Master of Carpe?â
âThereâs nothing I canât do.â
âYou are crazy. If youâre a knight, act like a knight. Because you behave like that, the nobles canât stand by.â
âAre you going to give me advice? I donât know what the hell youâre trying to do.â
I donât know Karinaâs intentions.
Are you hostile or not?
âIf you have something to say, do it quickly.â
ââŚI donât like you.â
but.
âAs a fellow knight, I see your skills as high.â
Karina knows.
Even if you remove the compatibility of the sword, the swordsmanship of Calius cannot be compared to his own.
Although their personalities are trash, those who want to reach the pinnacle of a certain field are inherently eccentric.
What the world will remember is his sword, not his personality.
âSay it straight-forward. Last Day. I received a revelation from Master Balterus.â
I never thought that Balterusâ name would come up here.
Calliusâ eyes sank.
âtiming?â
âHe said that the child born with you would be blessed by a new god.â
â???â
So what Karina said.
âAre you going to marry me?â
âYour dream is wild. Who would marry the likes of you? It means to have a child. I have no time to play love games with you.â
âI am embarrassed.â
A child between a man and a woman must be the fruit of love.
Karina wanted to make a child without love until she had a child.
It was also quite a shocking story from his point of view.
âIs it possible because the era is the era? I donât know.â
It was difficult to judge what was right and what was wrong because I did not have much experience with this side.
As Karina said, if Balterus really gave her a revelation, then she could get away with it.
Because in this world, the word of God sometimes surpasses the command of a king.
âBut it canât be like that. So, outwardly, I will be the hostess of the North. Until the child is raised.â
ââŚDoes the Queen know?â
âOf course.â
âRight.â
I wondered why the queen suddenly brought up such a story, but it was all because of Karina.
Because there was a pretext of divine revelation, the nobles and the queen had no choice but to agree with this story.
âIt was all because of you.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âdone. Itâs not your fault.â
It must be the greed of a god who is needlessly coveting his seeds.
However, it is true that it is absurd.
I needed some time to think.
âKarina.â
âTell me.â
âAre you still afraid of Kara?â
bang!!
Roaring.
Red flames simmered from her body, illuminating the dark dungeon.
As soon as I hit the iron bars with my fist, the iron bars shattered and melted.
âDonât mention your brotherâs name carelessly, Zervan. before I kill you.â
Seeing Karina growling, Callius raised the corners of his mouth.
âAre you capable of that?â
hard.
Carina, who bit her molars tightly, turned her back and left with a stomp.
âAdvice.â
âI donât need your advice!â
âDo not be afraid of your brother. You havenât done anything wrong.â
Took.
Karinaâs eyes narrowed as she stopped walking and looked back.
Her eyes looked at her as if she couldnât understand.
As if to tell him to go now, Colius sat still and closed his eyes, just as he had at first.
âCrazy.â
again and again.
Karina left prison like that.
âI wonder if Godâs intervention continuesâŚâ
I thought Balterus wouldnât do something like this, even if it was another god.
âIndifferent and narrow-minded Balterus wouldnât do such a meticulous thing.â
It was strange, but I already knew that everything wasnât going as expected.
Then you just have to be prepared.
âItâs not even a stallionâŚâ
Why do you keep coveting your seed?
âGod willing⌠what are you trying to do with my child?â
As if I said it while looking up at the sky, there is no answer, so it must be frustrating.
Clearing his thoughts, Callius took out the objects he had obtained in the subspace.
Fragments of corruption, the horns and hearts of various dragons,
and the Holy Grail of defeated gods.
âItâs about time. Itâs a bit like a prison, but just in case you donât know.â
You canât waste time doing nothing in prison.
Youâll have to be locked up for a few days, so itâs better to use this time instead.
âI have never used it except for Bibi to purify the fragments of corruption.â
I donât know what changes will happen when I use it on myself, but now the time has come for the next bud to bloom.
Stellaâs cartoon Bong-Yuk.
Flowering of the fifth bud.
The time has come to unfold the obon.
âThe dragonsâ resentment builds more and more, and corruption will never give up on me.â
So are the gods.
You must be stronger than you are now.
Even if you can kill the dragon and kill the corruption, those who still donât show up will be stronger than you now.
So first.
âBecome stronger.â
Nothing in this world is as true as power.

Same time.
Emily and her party were meeting the saintess of the empire at the border of Carpe.
âokay. The Count saved Carpe again. Thatâs how it happened.â
Esther was proud and overwhelmed by the work of Colius who saved the South.
The others did the same, but Emily noticed that the Queen sent Ailee and no one else.
âWhy did the queen send the saintess? Without an escort attached.â
Only then did Esther and the others, who noticed that there was no escort, looked at Ailee differently.
Esther, who unknowingly stopped the pilgrims who were going to the sword, greeted the saintess politely.
âYou are going back to the Empire.â
âyes. It happened. Originally, there is a difference between meeting and parting. Youâre going where you should be, so donât make that face. Sir Emily.â
âCongratulations.â
âIf we go back, there will be a big slope of Carpe. To the Queen and the Count.â
Unlike Emily, who wonders what she meant.
Esther and Serena noticed at once and their expressions softened.
âThen, since I have told you everything, I will leave. Please tell me that I regret not being able to express my gratitude to the queen for being so generous to me at a time when the empire is at stake.â
âOh thereâŚâ
âSir Emily. Come to me whenever you need my help. I will help you at any time and with anything.â
âAh⌠yes. All right. Holy Maiden.â
âthen.â
fault. Emilyâs eyes widened as she looked at the saintess of the empire disappearing.
âEmily. I wish I could come back soon.â
âyes? Whatâs going onâŚâ
âSaint Ailee said she was a sergeant, but thereâs a high probability that she wouldnât accept it due to the countâs personality. If thatâs the case, since you refused the kingâs command, I wonder if youâll be locked up in prison.â
âPlease. I will go to prison for refusing even the kingâs order.â
âThe Count is strong, but he has many enemies. Even if I try to stay still, I wonât leave him alone.â
Such is the survival of the state.
He wants a knight with great power, but is afraid of his power becoming too strong.
and suppress
This is the case with most countries that have existed in history, and weak kings are eaten by those in power and disappear.
Or, with envy and envy, the general is killed and the country is destroyed by foreign powers.
âThen hurry up.â
* * *
âWhat? Is the count getting married?â
âIs Master Carliers in prison?â
Zervanâs Villa.
Beatrice and Helena in the workshop there. And Cedric was furious with Coliusâ treatment.
âTo treat a countryâs hero like that!â
Cedric was furious.
âYou dare to get married at will to get in the way of someone!â
Helena was also furious a little differently.
âYou put my money in jail!â
Beatrice also burst into exasperation.
ââŚ.â
ââŚ..â
The three, who were furious according to their respective emotions, thoughtfully wrapped their heads and said while looking at something.
âGemseongsu. The Queen already knows, right?â
âyes. You got that title. Because of this. I am a noble now.â
Helena asked, ignoring Beatrice who proudly showed off her brooch.
âBut why are you still here?â
âIs it comfortable here?â
Helenaâs eyes narrowed.
It didnât look like much.
âArenât you waiting for the Count?â
âHa ha ha ha, itâs money.â
Keeping a suspicious eye on Helena, she looked at the holy water beside her.
âFirst of all⌠Iâll have to negotiate a bit with this.â
âNegotiation?â freeweÉnøvel.com
Are you negotiating? with who?
âCould it be with the queen?â
Without answering, Helena stood up holding a sword holy beast in her arms.
âIâll find out the situation and come back, so please speed up the production of Sword Saints.â
âNo, you have to tell me what you think.â
âWe canât let him stay in prison.â
The reason she met Beatrice in the first place was because of the right to sell Sword Saints.
60% of the Sword Saints ended up in the national treasury, but the rest is still there.
âGemseongsu is still unstable. It will gradually improve, but Carpe is more disturbing than that. I need to find out.â
âWhat does that mean?â
âI donât know if itâs because of my mood, but itâs like playing in someoneâs handsâŚâ
After saying that, Helena shook her head.
âI need to meet the queen first.â
Tapping the Sword Saint Beast in her arms, Helena left for the royal castle.
