The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 603

Chapter 603

Saviolin Tana looks at Ellen with sad eyes.

Conversation doesn’t work

Then, in the end, there is only one means left for each other.

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

Saviolin Tana’s words.

“That goes for me too.”

Ellen’s answer to that.

What each other says to each other is no different from showing what they think of each other.

They revealed that they thought they were superior to each other.

It seems to cross into the realm of a childish pride fight, but in the end, if each other is in the ranks of the continent’s strongest, it cannot be dismissed as a trivial pride fight.

Is Ellen Artorius strong or Saviolin Tana strong?

“… … .”

“… … .”

They stare at each other in silence.

In the end, they have no choice but to measure their distance from each other.

am i stronger

Is your opponent stronger?

“Ellen… … .”

Heinrich looked at Ellen in a cold sweat.

It’s important to know what the Empire is up to, but it’s nonsensical to see Saviolin Tana and Ellen clash swords against each other in a completely bizarre way.

“are you okay. I won’t kill you.”

To Ellen’s arrogant words, Heinrich, of course. Saviolin Tana has a subtle smile.

“You know how to provoke something.”

“… … It’s not a provocation, it’s just a fact.”

Ellen speaks quietly.

“If you don’t get out of here right now.”

-Uh uh uh

Blue magic starts to boil all over Ellen’s body.

“You know it hurts.”

“… … .”

do not use black

Tana let out a sigh at those words, which somehow sounded cute.

“Are you saying you won’t use the holy relic?”

Void Sword Lament.

Sun Cloak Rapelt.

Saviolin Tana is rather taken aback by the sight of them trying to fight bare-chested without using both.

“You don’t have to.”

“I don’t think so.”

Saviolin Tana frowned sternly, as if you would touch my toes if it were not for the unreasonable power of a sacred object.

I was thinking of stopping Ellen.

The attitude of arrogantly trying to stand in front of oneself without even a sacred object.

That attitude genuinely angered Saviolin Tana.

“I’ll give you back those words.”

Saviolin Tana throws the umbrella she was using.

“If you don’t back down now… … .”

– Kurleung!

The magical storm flowing from Saviolin Tana’s entire body blows away the accumulated snow.

Saviolin Tana’s fluttering hair, which had caused a storm with magic shockwaves alone, calmed down again.

Her sharp eyes stare at Ellen.

“I’ll keep you out of bed until the winter is over.”

“Try it.”

“Anyway… … .”

-thud!

Saviolin Tana had already arrived right in front of Ellen’s nose in an instant’s rush.

“You don’t lose a word!”

– Jjaeong!

“… … !”

One ticket.

Ellen, who had been hit directly, was thrown out of the road breaking a street tree, and Heinrich and Ludwig, excluding Louise, were swept away by the aftermath and rolled to the ground.

“Don’t be unnecessarily arrogant.”

Said Saviolin Tana as she walked towards Ellen, who was thrown into the woods.

“Take out the holy relic.”

Saviolin Tana was genuinely enraged at Ellen’s arrogance for trying to deal with her on equal terms without even having a sacred object.

Something suddenly flies out of those broken trees.

‘eye… … ?’

A snowball rushed right in front of her nose, and Saviolin Tana dodged it with a nod of the head.

“Let’s joke now… … !”

Tana, who was in trouble, was wheezing for a while.

She had already seen Ellen bend her waist amidst the rising dust.

kick back.

– Kkakang!

“… … Kut!”

Saviolin Tana, who was hit by a kick loaded with wild magic power and rotational power, blocked the attack with her upper arm, but had no choice but to take a few steps to the side.

“Because I don’t need it.”

Ellen, with a calm expression, started running towards Saviolin Tana, who was thrown out.

They don’t really intend to kill each other, but that moment when it’s about to become a fight full of emotions.

-stop!

The fight came to an abrupt halt at a distant cry familiar to both.

“… … Bertus.”

“your majesty… … .”

The Emperor was approaching from afar, through the snow.

* * *

Bertus, who suddenly appeared, stopped the dog fight between the two best men of mankind.

And without explanation or clarification to everyone, he broke through the strict security and sat in the lobby of the magic university.

Including Louise von Schwarz.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Ellen and Saviolin Tana were staring at the floor, their mouths closed.

“I told you to warn Ellen if she tries to come in. I don’t think I told you to punch me.”

“… … That is. I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”

Saviolin Tana was about to say if he was a great man to step down just because he was admonished, but kept his mouth shut.

Bertus looks at the silent Ellen.

“You don’t even have to… … . okay… … . I didn’t come here for a good reason.”

Bertus looks at the people gathered here.

Not only Ellen, but also Ludwig and Heinrich, and even the princesses of the Empire.

Bertus looks around them and then looks back at Ellen.

“Is it necessary to know?”

In the end, the emperor also says the same thing as Saviolin Tanna said.

“Let me tell you, even if you tell me not to, I will continue with this and nothing will change.”

“… … .”

“So if you know it, you know it’s just a problem.”

“You should know.”

Ellen says quietly.

“I have a duty to know.”

Not the right to know, but the duty to know.

Bertus couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, as it was clear that those words were referring to the sense of responsibility Ellen felt.

“If this isn’t just bad, that’s why I want to know more. What are you doing and why do you need it? I need to know.”

Seeing Ellen’s unyielding attitude, Bertus had no choice but to give up.

“… … okay.”

And I see someone else, not Ellen.

“I’d rather be fortunate.”

Louise couldn’t understand why Bertus looked at her and said that.

“And let me tell you one thing.”

Bertus looked at everyone and said.

“I wasn’t the one who killed Rowen.”

“… … what?”

He thought it was the end of everything, but words that overturned all the premise came out of Bertus’ mouth again.

“It’s hard to believe, but what can you do with the truth?”

Terrible coincidences overlapped and overlapped, and Ellen only came this far.

In the first place, the theft of the ashes from the Templars underground had nothing to do with the Empire.

“Then who… … . You mean you killed the priest?”

Ludwig widened his eyes at the sudden sound.

We came this far after chasing Rowen’s death, but if Bertus has nothing to do with Rowen’s death, then this is not over yet.

Then who the hell was Rowen killed by?

“I don’t know.”

Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?

No one could know the truth.

‘Call an emergency meeting?’

‘Yes, the five Popes have said that they have urgent matters to discuss. They say they’re gathering in the temple of Als.’

Ileion Bolton had just left the Great Temple of the Knights Templar and arrived at the Great Temple of Ars.

Among the five major denominations, only one has a Great Temple in the ecliptic, the Great Temple in Ars.

Since the Knights Templar is a place where the power of the five principal religions gathers, the four popes, except for the Pope of the Church of Ars, were settling down in the temples of each of the most powerful churches.

Due to the location and circumstances, it is customary for the Papal Council of the Five Major Orders to be originally held at the Great Temple of the Knights Templar. Because there is no better place for symbolism and meaning.

However, the Popes of the Five Major Churches held an emergency meeting, and the fact that the location was the Great Temple of Als had no choice but to put Ileion Bolton in a rather strange mood.

Do you have any reason to call yourself here?

But in the end, strictly speaking, the commander of the Knights Templar is a person below the popes.

It was Ileion Bolton’s duty to go when called.

Even so, I am busy with things to do.

It was also reluctant that the popes did not know what was going on.

Because it was an emergency meeting, there was no protocol and no attendants.

It is said that the prestige has declined a lot along with the Tuan Church, but the Great War is the Great War. Its overwhelming appearance was bound to remain the same, and there were no passersby easily pointing fingers at the temple.

Ileion Bolton arrives alone at the Great Temple of Als and enters it.

The conference room on the top floor of Als’s palace.

‘People… … . I bequeathed them all.’

As soon as he reached the upper floors, where there were no priests or paladins wandering around, Ileion Bolton felt a chill run down his back.

what are you talking about

what are you up to

What to do if something happens

Amidst countless thoughts, Ileion Boelton opened the door to the conference room on the top floor, neither in a hurry nor in a calm manner.

As in other conference rooms, there was a round table.

Naturally, there were five popes sitting in the conference room. They stare hard at Ileion Bolton as he appears.

There are five popes.

However, Ileion Bolton had no choice but to focus somewhere, forgetting to even pay his respects to the popes.

There was one more person in the space where there should only be five popes.

The person sitting in the chair smiling at himself smiles at Ileion Bolton.

Ileion Boelton, who was not taken aback by anything, had no choice but to turn white.

“Ileion Boelton.”

“you… … !”

“Maybe it’s been three years.”

Demon King Reinhardt was there.

The appearance of the time when it was disguised as a human being.

Reinhardt was sitting there unconcerned.

Reinhardt pointed to the chair in front of Ileion Bolton with a gesture of his chin.

“What are you doing? sit down.”

He spoke arrogantly, as if he were the owner of this place.

* * *

The Death Knight we made.

Chimera homunculus undead created by the Empire.

In the first place, the direction was similar.

We needed to replenish our Death Knights, so we needed corpses.

But at that point, we didn’t know the Empire was doing anything similar.

After replenishing the Death Knights at the Saints’ Cemetery, I started to look into what the Empire was doing.

I did have some concerns about that.

Wouldn’t the Templars find out what the Empire was doing while chasing this incident?

After hearing the truth from Bertus, we talked for a while.

‘Already tracking. I’m careful, but I don’t know what will happen.’

Naturally, the Templars would be investigating what had happened in their realm.

There was no reason to cover up or hide the scene in the first place.

What if it turns out that what happened there was my fault?

But strangely, the incident jumped in a direction that might lead to the secret of the empire that should not be known.

It’s us who did it, but it’s the empire that gets discovered.

Soon, what I had done would become a strange butterfly effect, and the Empire would be caught in a situation where something extraordinary might happen.

However, there was nothing I could do there, so I decided to stay at the temple and watch the situation.

And Archbishop Rowen is dead.

In the first place, like Ellen, I didn’t believe Ludwig’s claim that people in the refugee camp killed Rowen.

An archbishop-level priest who was working on cleansing the disease with Ludwig died.

There had to be something.

At that point, unlike Ellen, who, of course, was taking the first steps in her investigation, I knew most of the truth behind it.

The death of Archbishop Rowen is likely not an ordinary event.

Of course, the first person I went to was Bertus.

Through Sarkegar, I was able to meet them right away as soon as I got a place.

Bertus already knew about this matter.

‘No?’

‘Yes, not us.’

Bertus said that the empire was not responsible for what happened at the temple.

‘It’s true that I thought about whether or not to deal with it.’

‘… … Did you think about it?’

‘He’s the Heretic Inquisitor. that person.’

Naturally, Bertus already knew what I didn’t know.

‘I also found out yesterday, but it seems that he approached Ludwig intentionally. I can’t enter the temple, so I think I tried to use a trick somehow… … . It’s embarrassing for me too.’

Rowen was the Heretic Inquisitor and, of course, was investigating what had happened with the Templars.

And although the reality is different, after finding out that the temple was related to the body that disappeared, he obtained Ludwig’s personal image and approached it intentionally.

Bertus was aware of the matter.

The Heretic Inquisitor, trying to get closer to the truth he shouldn’t know, tried to use Ludwig.

But suddenly died.

Bertus was also embarrassed by this situation.

I also thought it was very likely that the Empire killed Rowen.

As long as Rowen is the Heretic Inquisitor, he is pursuing the case, and he has the Temple in mind, the Empire has plenty of reasons to kill Rowen and silence him.

But the Empire is not the culprit.

‘I don’t know the exact reason, but it could be a purge.’

‘… … what? purge?’

It was a random sound.

‘Listen to Reinhardt.’

The story I heard from Bertus was long, but the content was simple.

That the Five Great Main Orders may have a different mind.

To be precise, the popes of each denomination.

‘What… … . It’s bullshit… … ?’

Hearing that from Bertus, I couldn’t help but lose my temper.

‘They… … . Are you ready to stand by my side?’

‘maybe.’

Betrayal from Bertus’ point of view.

From my point of view, conversion or surrender.

‘I don’t know which one the dead priest was, but I can’t stop the flow now that things have happened.’

‘… … .’

‘The Church and the Knights Templar may split, and a civil war may break out. Then things get more complicated.’

‘Then what… … . What should I do?’

‘I have to make it stop. We can’t let anyone bleed over this until the gate crisis is over.’

That was something Bertus couldn’t do. It was something only I could do.

‘Do you know what you’re talking about?’

At my question, Bertus smiled wryly.

‘I don’t know.’

‘… … .’

I couldn’t say anything.
