Volume 1 Chapter 10: The Princess, the Princess

Mr. Zero had already left Darkhaven by this time.

Yes, what I had to do when I came to Darkhaven was urgent. And I can roughly guess the reason behind it.

But there is still a lot of work to be done to solve the problem over there...... It's better to say that after that thing leaked out, I don't have a ready-made solution at all.

But the advent of the Great Plague meant ......

"Alas, can't the Holy See even clean up this little epilogue? Or is it really just ignoring everything and desperately chasing me?"

Mr. Zero shrugged, "Didn't you just blow up the Holy See's headquarters on this side of the kingdom, what's the big deal?" I remember that the Holy See has not always been so uncool?"

Apparently he didn't realize how much trouble he was causing to the people of the church.

"But that's ......"

......

Amber quickly inquired from the school about the general location of Mr. Zero's address.

After all, although the gentleman is mysterious, he still has a normal way to interact with people.

He was going to go there for a small reconnaissance, but before he could get closer, he heard the commotion clearly.

"What ...... happened?"

As Amber approached, he finally struggled through the bustling crowd of onlookers and saw what had happened.

Mr. Zero's house was sealed off by the Holy See's men, but they did not dare to get any closer.

Several of them were sitting idly in the middle of it, confronting the leaders of the Holy See.

At the head of the church was a deacon-like figure dressed in black, who was frowning and staring at each other with a serious face.

On the other side was a petite girl dressed in noble and gorgeous clothes, with an innocent smile on her face, leisurely looking at the large crowd of people in the surrounding church.

"Oh, oh, oh?" Amber's inopportune questioning drew the people to look sideways at him, but he didn't notice it himself, just trying to tiptoe and trying to see the focus of the crowd, trying to figure out what had happened before that from their conversation.

However, there is little useful information in the seemingly noisy crowd.

After the confrontation was silent for a long time, the black-robed man said, "Your Royal Highness...... Please don't force us to use force. ”

"Ahh I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, the girl's seems to deliberately say the word "vice" is particularly meaningful.

"Come on, please, she is just a weak woman who has no power to hold on to her, and the great, glorious servants of God are going to do it to the poor girl...... Ahh ”

The girl grinned and said, "It's good that this kind of terrible church has been blown up or something, right?"

She said these words in a sweet voice to the crowd of onlookers.

The black-robed man, who was in charge of arresting Mr. Zero before, couldn't help but feel a bruise.

However, the civilians are obviously more frightened by the identities of the two, and most of them stay here just because they feel that they are not retreating or advancing.

On one side in particular was the notorious Inquisition.

The more pious people whispered that Her Highness was too blasphemous, but there were also many people who had always had a bad feeling for the fabled organization of the Inquisition, and under the cover of blending in with the crowd, they noisily echoed the words of the girl, the princess.

The Inquisitor's hands were behind his back, and the princess on the other side could not be seen, but Amber could faintly see a blood-colored dagger appear in his left hand at some point, but then pressed it down with his right hand.

“...... So, does the royal family want to shelter this sinner at the expense of being an enemy of the Holy See?"

"No, I don't. You see, you're going to search, and you've already searched it, haven't you?And what's wrong with me, I'm living in my fiancé's house?" the girl replied delicately.

"But that is the sinner whom God has commanded! the sinner who destroyed the sanctuary! fiancé of your mouth!" the inquisitor's feminine voice was tinged with anger.

"Oh, where's the evidence?"

"Proof?, I, Your Majesty, have seen it with your own eyes, and God has sent down the decree himself. What more evidence is needed?"

"Who knows if the three of you have joined together to deceive the world...... Or even deceive God?" the girl's smile widened, "after all, your church is the best at playing this trick...... (whispering)"

"In that case, there's nothing more to say......" Amber saw the inquisitor slowly release his right hand and gradually approach the princess.

"Danger—" He was about to speak, but he was keenly aware that in an instant, his surroundings, or some deeper atmosphere, suddenly distorted.

The heterogeneous sensation made Amber feel nauseous and slightly dizzy, but it calmed down for a moment.

There was a slight warm sensation from the cross necklace on his chest, and Amber couldn't tell if it was just because of his body temperature or because of something else.

Immediately, the presiding judge (deputy) stiffened slightly, and looked around vigilantly.

“...... Forget it for now. We will negotiate with the royal capital to see if your actions were done at the behest of the royal family, or if you, Your Highness, are acting exclusively for the sake of your lover......" He said coldly, and then left.

But other people were still watching the mansion.

"Let's go~ By the way, can you invite the real judge to talk to me about this next time?"

“...... Scold. ”

......

Amber touched the cross on his chest suspiciously, "What happened just now?"

But since it was given by Mr. Zero, maybe Mr. Zero made some arrangements on it.

Or is it the evil spirit that lives inside? Probably not......

Amber shook his head and threw the thoughts out of his head.

......

"Hah...... Exhausted. ”

Out of respect for the status of the royal daughter, even the people of the Holy See can no longer blatantly watch the life of an unmarried woman (of the royal family), so after the crowd roughly dispersed, the princess smiled at the maid behind her and said: "Sister Anna, you protected me just now, right? Thank you~"

“...... Princess, please don't do such a dangerous thing next time. If His Excellency the Presiding Judge were to do it, I would not be in the slightest place for sure. A man who seemed inconspicuous even among the maids replied.

"Hey...... girl" The girl made a small grimace, then took out a stack of small notes from her clothes, compared them, and said, "Sister Anna, I didn't do anything wrong, did I?

"It's terrible to face this kind of guy who has killed so many people, and then my legs have started to shake...... I'm so scared that I'm sweating all over, and my clothes feel sticky to my body, so uncomfortable...... Shall we take a shower later?"

"Yes, well done, Your Highness. If Your Majesty saw it, he would be amazed at your talent. The maid complimented with some relief.

"Phew, I'm not uncommon to be seen by that stinky old man!" the girl pouted, and then showed a look. "But if I could give him a little bit of a show on a date with Zero or something, he would be pleasantly surprised, right......?

Ah yes, when he comes back this time, I must tell him that I have helped him a lot this time~, and let him give me a little reward.

Ah, what do you want? a deep ~ kiss? Well, no, no, no, wouldn't it feel like ......?"

"No, I mean...... Ah, forget it. The maid looked at the princess and didn't seem to hear anything of her own words in her ears at all, so she sighed and stopped.
