The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 207
Udang-tang-tang!
Udang-tang-tang!
“emergency!!! emergency!!! It’s a big deal!!! An invisible enemy attacked!!! Wake up everyone!!!”
Jamel, still distraught, ran around the bed and ran wild. Rusona sat with her buttocks pressed against the chair I gave her and smiled.
“I felt it the other day, but it seems that Jamel is really full of energy.”
“Priest Mareunak!!!”
Jamel, who had been spinning around for a bit, ran towards me and pulled my collar. The bright green eyes shone brightly.
“Now is not the time to be carefree like this!!! An invisible enemy is now targeting us!!! That’s right here! here!!!”
When I didn’t respond much, Jamel, as if feeling frustrated, slightly lifted the waistband of her loose nightgown and slightly showed her mother’s side. White flank meat. The mother’s cotton elbow strike left no mark on Jamel’s side.
“What?!”
Jamel was momentarily taken aback when he saw his side, then looked up at me again.
“Ho, was it a dream?”
“Even if you ask me about it, I don’t think I will get an answer…”
When I glanced at my mother, she pretended not to know anything and unwrapped the food and spread it out on the table. But looking at the corner of his mouth slightly raised, it was clear that Jamel really liked the way he was flustered.
“Ugh…”
Amidst the hum of her mother’s humming song, the half-corpse Giselle ambled out. She glanced at the lively Jamel with narrow eyes and grumbled in a hushed voice.
“How is it… It’s a bit unfair because it seems like I’m the only one suffering from a hangover…”
Come to think of it, Jamel strangely had no signs of a hangover at all. When I drank heavily before, I thought I was going to die for a long time.
no way?
There was only one condition different from then and now. That Jamel sucked his mother’s cheek.
I glanced at my mother’s soft, plump cheeks.
Ay no way I shook the thoughts that passed through my mind for a moment. It was a very blasphemous idea to think that mother’s cheeks had a hangover cure function.
“If you are up, come and sit down. While I was out for a while, I bought something to eat.”
“Uh…”
Giselle looked at the spread of food on the table and put her hand up to cover her mouth. She turned her head slightly and looked away from the warm food.
“sorry. I don’t think I’ll be able to eat anything right now. Do you have hot water or tea? I’ll just drink a little of that and go back to rest. Do you have anything to do today…?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“I’m glad.”
Giselle shuffled along and grabbed the kettle where the water had been boiled, but the kettle was completely cold the night before. Giselle looked down at the kettle with tired eyes.
“I don’t like to drink anything cold. Where is Dacia? Use your magic to warm up some water…”
She trembled and flinched as she spoke. It was because Gisele only then discovered Rusona sitting at one end of the table. Giselle bowed her head towards Lasona.
“…hello. Princess Rusona.”
Rusona smiled and waved her hands.
“I’m fine, so do as you please. Seeing how you live, it’s nice to see that you smell like people.”
“Yes…”
Giselle bowed her head helplessly.
“I’ll bring Dacia, so please sit down for a while.”
“thank you. Then I’ll ask you.”
I got up from my seat, took a cup and a kettle, and went into the room where Dakia was put to sleep. As if she had been sleeping lightly, Dakia heard my footsteps and opened her eyes. She opened her golden, gleaming eyes, looked around, and found my face.
“Mar…Priest Renak. Good night… ugh…”
Dakia frowned as she tried to stand up and grabbed her stomach. Then I laughed helplessly.
“I feel a little bit sick to my stomach. When I drink that alcohol, I get over it very well, but I think I have a really bad hangover. In fact, my memory is a little hazy.”
She didn’t seem to remember a single hug attempt from the previous night. I just smiled and showed the kettle I was carrying.
“Would you mind warming me up some water? If you think you can’t use magic, I’ll ask Master.”
“Give me this. I think I should drink a glass of warm water to feel better.”
When I handed over the kettle, Dacia held up a finger. The small magical flames that bloomed from her fingertips heated the kettle. The operation of mana is so sophisticated that it is hard to see it as the skill of a wizard suffering from a hangover.
After starting to use magic properly, Dakia was growing really unstoppable.
As steam rises from the heated kettle, Dakia gestures toward me. When I held out the cup I was holding, Dakia tilted the kettle and filled the glass with water.
I handed over a cup full of water and a heated kettle. Dakia took a sip of water and let out a moan as if she was going to live. Realizing the groan she let out reflexively, she looked at me with a slight blush on her cheek.
“Drinking warm water is a little better.”
“I went out for a bit in the morning and bought something to eat. Would you like to come out and eat?”
“Um…”
Dakia raised her brow slightly as she tried to stand up. I was about to say that I would like to suck my mother’s cheek, but I thought it was too blasphemous, so I folded it up and kept it in my heart.
“I think it will be difficult to eat anything right now. If you leave a little bit, I will heat it up for you later.”
“I see.”
“Wait.”
Just as I was about to leave the room, Dakia stopped me. When I turned my head, she smiled and held out the cup in her hand.
“Please give me another glass of water before you go.”
***
“The water has been heated.”
Pouring water into a new cup and handing it to Giselle, she gulped down the water and stood up with a stoop.
“Now I feel like I get sick just by looking at food. I’ll go in and rest a bit, so leave me a little bit. Whatever you eat today, you won’t be able to eat much anyway, so don’t leave too much behind.”
Giselle hurriedly walked into the room she had come out of and disappeared.
Jamel, as if he had completely forgotten about the invisible threat, was humming along with his mother, bringing the plates one after another and sharing the food.
I glanced at her and cautiously approached Rusona and asked in a low voice.
“Did things go wrong?”
Rusona smiled at my question while watching her mother and Jamel walking back and forth with a happy expression.
“Do you want to hear the conclusion?”
“yes.”
There was no loss of life in Master’s occupation of the Security Office, and since he showed his own military superiority by overpowering the emperor’s escort, the probability of the incident itself being large was low. In addition, it seemed that Master would use the connections of the master who knew him.
“To put it simply, nothing special. The emperor said he would not hold you and your teacher guilty. It seemed to me that the head of the Central Police Agency, who dared to oppose him politically, was a little more than happy to bear such shame.”
also. It went as expected.
“but.”
After a brief pause, Rusona stared at my face.
“I have one question. It’s not hard to understand the feelings underlying the emperor’s actions, but thinking about it, I wonder if the emperor was too lenient towards you. I’m not going to ask for any guilt. Could you possibly be the hidden son of the emperor? If that’s not the case…”
The golden pupils split vertically and an unfriendly atmosphere settled down. A bright smile bloomed on Rusona’s lips. She showed her displeasure with a mechanical smile.
“Did you make some kind of deal with the emperor while keeping it a secret from me?”
In fact, if you look closely, Rusona’s kindness towards us was of a very shallow kind. There was no way he would have real goodwill with only a handful of encounters.
I cleared my throat and answered carefully.
“It looks like the emperor wants something from me. It’s just that I didn’t receive any instructions behind the scenes, as Princess Rusona thinks. My guess is that the emperor thinks that my course of action, which he has figured out, will benefit the emperor himself.”
I didn’t think that the emperor who was cooperating with the libertio really knew nothing about my identity. The information power of a country beyond an organization was never something to be taken lightly.
I don’t know how far he really knew, but one thing was certain: my hostility to the Liberatorio helped him. Otherwise, there was no reason to leave me alone like this.
On the outside, he pretends to be holding hands with Liberationio, but behind the scenes he protects those who oppose Liberationio.
Right now, they are using each other, but it was clear that the two of them could fuck each other at any time.
If Pearly and I don’t seize the bowl of the gods that Liberatorio worked so hard for, there’s a high chance that the massive massacre that took place in Beatus, the hometown of Dacia, will take place here on a larger scale in the capital of the empire.
As I was organizing my thoughts while waiting for Rusona’s answer, the golden pupils that had been split vertically slowly turned into round ones, and the sharp atmosphere subsided.
“For now, I will completely trust you. But keep one thing in mind.”
Lesona lowered her head and approached my ear. Along with her, the unique fragrant body odor came rushing in.
“The dragon’s faith is very heavy. Please don’t make a mistake by mistaking the weight.”
In a word from just now, one thing was certain. Rusona was a qualitatively different person from the very baggy Dragon Prince Batis. Since she was born, she has always dominated others and was a ruler who will continue to live like that. A very troublesome kind of human if you turn it into an enemy.
I bowed my head slightly.
“I will keep that in mind.”
She patted me on the shoulder and smiled softly.
“Good.”
After a brief conversation, we sat down and Master dragged something out of the room and walked out. The person dragged out with a drawn face was none other than Cardisho.
Master half-forced Cardisho to sit on the chair and pointed at the food with her chin.
“Eat well and take care of your equipment. After eating, I took a full day off, so I will train again.”
“Okay…”
Cardisho answered very politely, then took a piece of fatty meat and stuffed it into his mouth. She chewed on the meat and her face brightened a little.
“It’s delicious.”
After a brief exclamation, she immediately devoted herself to the meal. Starting with the cardi show, everyone enjoyed a meal while talking about each other.
When the meal was over, Rusona said she would come back to play again, rubbed her mother’s cheek, and flew away like the wind. As soon as Cardisho finished eating, Master dragged her and left somewhere.
‘Kill and kill.’
The mother touched the cheek that Rusona had rubbed and chewed her very carefully, calling her a spoiled reptile. Then, he came running towards me and spread his palms out.
‘killing!’
I took out the fairy tale I had prepared in advance and put it in my mother’s hand. The mother smiled broadly and put the fairy tale into the coin pouch hanging around her neck. A small jingling sound came from the heavy-looking pocket.
What the hell is the point of collecting fairy tales so hard while giving me all the gold coins?
As I was seriously contemplating the use of fairy tales, my mother tugged at my collar.
“Why is that?”
‘killing!’
“You want to go out together?”
‘killing!!!’
Will we finally be able to understand the purpose of that fairy tale today? There was nothing to do until Pearly called anyway, so there was no reason not to listen to her mother’s request.
Teacher in the morning, mother in the afternoon.
“Then prepare and come. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Jamel, who was watching my mother with her head sticking out, raised her hand as if she had been waiting.
“wait a minute!!! me too!!! I want to go too!!! I’m bored if I’m left alone!!!”
The mother frowned and tried to lash out at Jamel, then let out a sigh.
‘Kill and kill.’
“That expression! You mean you can go? Yes?”
Perhaps thanks to their recent friendship with Jamel, her mother, who was unusually generous with Jamel, sticks out her tongue and disappears into her room by herself to get ready to go out. Jamel smirked and stabbed me in the side.
“I think he is a very easy person to go through. Yes?”
I was too shy, but I also kept quiet.
Sometimes silence is more precious than gold.
***
‘Murder…?’
As I was leaving the wharf and humming a song to the city, my mother suddenly came up to me and tugged at my collar.
“Why is that?”
‘killing.’
In the direction mother pointed, a rare purple hair glanced in the distance. There, Pearly, wearing a bread hat, was walking on the road with a smile on her face.
He wasn’t on the boat, but he was wandering around here.
Mother caressed her chin, thought hard about something, then tugged at my collar again.
‘killing.’
A proposal to chase after the black and savory purple doll. It was very abusive, but in hindsight, it wasn’t completely wrong.
If my mother really wanted to do it, I would just follow her.
“I see.”
“What were you talking about?”
“Seeing Pearly in front of me, he said let’s chase after him secretly.”
“yes?!”
Jamel’s eyes widened, and soon he burst into a smirk with a very nasty expression on his face.
“Whoop whoop. Finally, I have a chance to prove what a capable tracker I am! hee hee hee I’ll find out the number of spoons and chopsticks in Pearly’s house and tell Priest Marnak!!!”
“Since Pearly is living with us now, isn’t the number of spoons in Pearly’s house just the number of spoons in our boat?”
“oh…? Come to think of it, is that so? Then what do I need to find out…?”
“…”
A combination of mother and jamel.
I suddenly had a hunch that I wouldn’t be able to get any information at the end of this tailing.
