Da-da-da-da.

A series of unhurried footsteps echoed through the corridors of the palace, led by an elderly man, Bishop Albin Bartley, Germain's father.

Although he maintained the same grace in his demeanor and steps, no one knew that his noble heart had long been haggard.

[Could it be that my actions have really been condemned by the goddess?]

In order to defend the human race, in order to end this ignorant war, he did not hesitate to betray his homeland, but what awaited him was a cruel divine punishment, a rain, just a rain to destroy the entire Iron Wing Knights, which caused a serious shock to the faith in Bishop Albin's heart.

[No, I'm not wrong in my thoughts, this foolish war must be ended, and humanity needs to unite to fight against the evil gods. 】

He shook his head, as if he was about to shake the shaky part out of his head.

[Right now—the power of the Holy Cult of Salman is necessary no matter what.] 】

He stopped, and in front of him was a large door, the room of the royal palace.

Taking a deep breath, he reached out and pushed the door open.

"It's slow!

What greeted me was a little rabbit, no, it should have been a girl with a rabbit hood, sitting cross-legged in the arms of a red-haired girl, clasping her hands to her chest and yelling at him.

"Shut up, Jena, you've only waited five minutes. ”

The girl raised her pink fist and gently knocked it on the head of the rabbit Lori.

"Five minutes is a long time! Rabbits are going to die because of loneliness! Mr. Bond has hair loss!"

Lori the rabbit grabbed a rabbit doll embroidered with a pattern of pointed teeth and complained to the red-haired girl.

"No, no, no, my bald spot was obviously pulled out by you, because I didn't eat the pudding yesterday. ”

It's not just why the rabbit doll is talking.

"Anyway. As reparations, I'm going to eat a little pudding!"

Finally, the girl pointed to Bishop Albin.

Inexplicable conversations. Inexplicable results, however, it lightened the atmosphere.

"Compared to pudding. Why don't you try Randall's fruit pie, it's a food I've always loved since I was a kid. ”

The old man blinked mischievously and said with a smile.

"Okay, yes! I'm going to eat it, fruit pie and pudding!"

Lori's eyes lit up.

The few people in front of Bishop Albin were naturally Marybell's party from the Holy Sect. At this time, Gina was clamoring for a snack, and Maribel was distressed, but Corrie was still expressionless, and Bishop Vanessa, who was with her, sat and laughed silently.

"Long time no see, Bishop. ”

Albin sat down. looked at the old man opposite and said. The two were once enemies on the battlefield, but now they are on the same front.

"Long time no see, Bishop. ”

The other man nodded, and then continued:

"In terms of support, we need the current situation. ”

"Of course, I'll give you the latest information, it's here. ”

Albin nodded, handing him a stack of papers.

"Hmph...... Looks like you're having fun. ”

Maribel rests her cheek with one hand, then squints at the other. Before coming here. The bishop beside him was full of praise for this Bishop Albin, and in his opinion, the other party was simply the embodiment of light.

But Maribel didn't think so, the man was a traitor. A traitor who betrayed the king, and even took it lightly. You know, even pirates don't have sympathy for traitors. Their only fate is to be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

"No, I'm miserable. Marybel Virgin. Now, however, the war between the two kingdoms is even more painful. Compared with. My heartache is nothing. ”

The old man shook his head.

"Hmph, it sounds like you care more about the people of the two countries than you do. ”

"Exactly. ”

"Would you like to hear my proposal, then?"

"I'm honored. ”

"Did you know that the best way to completely change the faith of a heretical sect is to burn their leader alive at the stake?

So...... What do you think, Albin Bartley, Bishop of the Protestant Church of Light in the Kingdom of Rand?"

The eyes of a wild beast looking at its prey were fixed on Albin, not those of a maiden, but of an inquisitor.

"If you don't, a lot of people will be victimized by it?"

"Of course, it is not Orthodoxy that is supported by those who support you, but you as a bishop, and those who hate you will naturally reject the teachings of Orthodoxy, and it is because of you that there will be countless heresies. If we don't burn the people at the heart of your problem, we're going to have to cut off a lot of people's heads. ”

Maribel said in a mocking tone.

In any case, this suggestion was just a joke, the Holy Cult could not have casually burned a hero who had made great achievements, and without his betrayal with Duke Arman, the Randall Kingdom would not have fallen so easily. Yet she still pressured the old man to see his true side - a traitor for money and power, or a true saint.

"Then please burn me to death, no, I should say please burn me. ”

As a result, the old man just said so calmly.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course. ”

[Well, maybe this man is a saint, and when I prefer to believe that he sees that I will never burn him. 】

Maribel frowned.

"Alright, don't be rude to the bishop, Marybell. ”

Bishop Vanessa raised his hand to stop the girl from continuing her questioning. It was during this time that he finished reading most of the reports handed to him by the other party on the current state of the war.

It's not a lot of content, but it basically boils down to one thing - killing Leah Farain. Not only Randall, but even the royal capital of the Holy Sect Country, the name of this girl is also thunderous. If the danger can't be nippled in the bud, the kingdom that enjoys the wild crystal and the colossus will probably be the Holy Sect Kingdom next.

"In other words, all we have to do now is take Ironwing and kill the heretic: Leah Farain, right?"

He asked.

"That's right, by the way, Duke Arman told me that there are a few secret passages in the Iron Wing Fort that may be used, of course, it is not ruled out that these secret passages have been found by the other party, and then defended or directly destroyed, whether to use them or not, you need to consider for yourself. ”

Bishop Albin nodded.

"Understood, then, then, from tomorrow we will launch an assault on the Iron Wing, and may the Light be with us. ”

The crowd stood up and saluted each other solemnly. And yet at this moment......

——!!!

A gunshot rang out, and Maribel found that Corrie, who had never spoken, was holding a musket and making a large hole in the door of the room.

"Who ——!!??"

The bunny girl sped forward and kicked open the door. She rushed into the hallway and looked around, but saw no figure, so she pushed open the window and peeked out, only to see a vast unoccupied lawn.

"What's wrong, Corrie?"

Marybell asked.

"I heard footsteps outside the door just now. ”

Corrie shook her head.

"There is no hiding place in the hallway, there is ...... outside the window There is no ...... either."

Marybell checked and found that there was no place in the vicinity to hide people.

"I heard it wrong, I heard it wrong, I didn't hear anything. ”

Rabbit Lori walked out and said nonchalantly.

"That's because you're all focused on tasting dessert on your tongue, my dear Gina. ”

"Shut up! stupid Mr. Bond. ”

The noisy rabbit Lori eased everyone's nervousness again, since there was no place to hide......

"Maybe you really misheard, Corrie. ”

"Yes. ”

The bunny girl nodded and followed the group back into the room.

None of them, however, noticed that a dagger was being stabbed tightly against the wall below the ledge, and a figure was firmly grasping the dagger and hanging directly below the ledge, where the sight was in the dead end. ???: "Oh, it's really dangerous, it's really dangerous, the ears of the rabbit people really live up to their reputation." ”

The figure said silently. (To be continued......)
