The Eternal Debauchery's

ll black sheep

"What are you doing here, Saintess Safelia?" The emperor squinted.

Safelia smiled gently and bowed. “Sorry to interrupt, Your Majesty, but I'm here on my Deity's orders for today's incident.”

“...Is it?” The emperor narrowed his eyes. “However, you need not worry. I plan to punish the culprits as they should.”

Safelia frowned. He could understand the implied meaning of the emperor's words.

In other words, he told her that the church should not interfere in this.

But who is Safelia?

He was a saint of one of the strongest gods in the world. To be honest, he did not bring the slightest bit of respect to the emperor.

Plus, even though he really wanted to see how I was sentenced to death, as my slave, he was forced to interfere.

Therefore, he shook his head.

“i'm afraid that's impossible. Your Majesty, apologize for being disrespectful, but you know nothing about the cause and effect of this. Moreover, it is clear to everyone here that you are thinking of using this crisis to play around.”

"Bad!" One of the ministers shouted furiously. "Who do you think you are to talk to an emperor like that!?"

“I am a Saint of Order. A servant who hears the voice of the Goddess. My words are the words of the Goddess herself!”

The hall became silent for a moment.

Safelia's words.

Several ministers looked at each other with heavy expressions. They noticed that the situation became more complicated.

“Nona Safelia, are you saying that the goddess is not satisfied with me?” The emperor asked with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

But Safelia didn't seem to see it. He simply glanced at the emperor indifferently and nodded.

"Yes." Yeah."

“...Is it?” The emperor chuckled softly before falling silent.

But a strong killing intent started leaking from his body.

The emperor was furious.

In fact, the relationship between the Imperial Family and the church was very strained recently. Although when the empire and the church were very close when the empire was founded, the long years had caused a rift to form between them.

After all, the church was like a small kingdom within the empire. It was not something that any emperor wanted to see.

As for the church, they were clearly dissatisfied when the empire tried to weaken them.

And now that Safelia said these words in public, it was the same as the church saying the current emperor was no match for the throne.

If the situation continues like this, it could end in a war between the empire and the church.

Fortunately, my father was not entirely an idiot. Now that the war against the Daemon Empire was about to begin, he did not dare to fight against the church either.

Therefore, he forced himself to suppress his killing intent and sighed.

“Tell me, Saintess. What does the church think of today? Will you give me an explanation of the 2000 deaths? emperor says.

“2000 deaths? Hahaha, Your Majesty, as I said, you know nothing. Only in the empire, there were over 10,000 deaths. And many more deaths in other parts of the world.”

“!!!” Some ministers opened their eyes wide. Even the emperor was shocked.

"Explain."

"Huh?"

“You know that the church also participated in this operation, right? The truth is that the goddess herself noticed this. When Principal Evelyn and the others captured 2000 people, the goddess used them to try to find the culprit behind it. But when Dewi will find her, the culprit discovers that something is wrong and severs the connection viciously, killing everyone connected to her through seed.” Safelia explained.

The Emperor frowned, pondering over Safelia's words.

“Why does the goddess want to find that person?” Emperor asked.

“Because he is a danger to the world. The goddess believed that she was the one trying to dominate this world. In fact, Your Majesty, you should thank School Head Evelyn for finding this situation, otherwise, the empire will soon face a crisis.

Just think about it, even now, that person had controlled over 2000 people just in the capital.5 years later, that number could reach tens of thousands. At that time, if they rebelled and tried to seize the throne, are you sure you can stop them?”

These words caused a commotion in the hall. Some nobles began to murmur to themselves, realizing that the situation was not that simple.

Even the emperor frowned. He hadn't paid much attention to this before and just thought that this was a good opportunity to get rid of Claus and the others. But now it seemed like he had a problem on his hands.

Even so, he was unwilling to give up the chance to get rid of us.

“... I understand your words, Saintess. But even so, one must be responsible for the death. Otherwise, how am I going to appease the citizens when they find out that their loved ones were killed?”

"So so. Don't worry, Your Majesty, the church will help you with that. However, you cannot touch the prince and princess or Miss Evelyn.”

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

So, it's like this at last.

He finally asserted that the purpose of the church was to protect us!

“... Saintess, remember that the church is forbidden to interfere in imperial politics.” said the emperor.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to care about the intentions of the church" Safelia said softly, but it was clear she ignored the emperor completely!

To his surprise, the emperor said nothing. Instead, he turned his gaze, towards Dina, Evelyn, Ysnay, and me.

When he saw we were completely calm, he knew that he had failed today.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope in the first place.

When the trap in the Wolf Forest failed, he realized that killing us would not be that easy.

So, his intention today was to force us to reveal more of our cards.

In particular, he wanted to know more about Ysnay's strength.

However, he finally found out something completely unexpected.

The church is very strong. If we really have the support of the church, it means we have become important to the church.

But at the same time, it gave him the opportunity to take care of us.

“Claus, Dina, you should consider it well. The Imperial Family will not let the church take over the empire.”.

I narrowed my eyes. Is that a warning?

So that's what you're planning now, yeah.

Of course, Hidden History would not allow the existence of puppet princes to be controlled by the church.

However, father, you still do not realize that the situation is already out of your control.

And the fact that you failed to get rid of us today means more to some people than you think.
