The Grand Prince Has Run Away - Chapter 79
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
The front of the Hall of Holiness was full of participants for today’s ceremony. They waited their turn with excited or tense faces, inflated with the hope of becoming guardians.
I glanced to the side as I passed in front of them with Shura. Because I saw some familiar faces. They were none other than the first-year juniors of the Imperial Noble School.
“I see you, Sung-woong.”
As soon as they sensed my gaze, they respectfully paid their respects.
I felt exasperated. In the old days, they were busy running away when they saw me, but now they are busy waiting, wanting to talk to me.
I stopped in front of a blonde young man.
Milton was a one-year junior, and he was a great talent in the Empire who was not only faithful but also showed extraordinary talents in swordsmanship as well as academics. I can’t see the light because of my status as Baron Friedman’s second son, but when I was president of the student council, I invited him as a member of the executive committee and ate it up.
Milton, you do a great job. He does everything he asks to do perfectly.
“Name?”
Milton bowed hastily to pay homage.
“My name is Milton Friedman.”
“It’s Milton. Good job.”
I tapped Milton on the shoulder and walked towards the main entrance to the Hall of Sacredness, where Sir Izenberg awaits.
Sir Izenberg welcomed me.
“Back. Come on.”
“Yes. But why did you call me?”
“Actually, I have something to ask you.”
As I was talking to Sir Izenberg, I saw a familiar face. They were Princess Ignes and Princess Sierra.
“Maybe that?”
No. It has not yet been investigated.”
“Okay? Then what?”
“Hall of the Holy Spirit, it’s a matter of internal security.”
I tilted my head.
“It’s strange. Do you even send guards into the halls of the sanctuary?”
“This time is an exception. There was an incident last night, so be careful. What can you do for me?”
I glanced at Princess Ignes and made a troubled face.
“Of course, it’s not difficult to do it, but why not let other paladins in?”
“In principle, no one can enter. It’s something I can ask for because it’s you and the great saints.”
After becoming Shura’s lover, I was also very successful. Even the halls of divinity go in and out.
The Hall of Holiness was not at the level of the Archbishop or higher, but only those who wished to be a guardian for that year and the high priest who was in charge of guidance were absolutely not allowed to enter.
“What. okay.”
“Thanks. Then please take good care of me for three days.”
I briefly listened to Sir Izenberg’s plan of the guard, and then went inside. As we walked down the quiet hallway, Princess Sierra, who was ahead of us, glanced at us.
“Didn’t you guys decide to stand at night?”
“Yeah, but it’s my first time in the Hall of the Holy Spirit. I came all the way here anyway, so I’m going to take a look around.”
Princess Sierra’s eyes grew cold.
“The Hall of Holiness is not a place to visit.”
That girl is still picky.
To be honest, who came to want to come? I have something to check. With a little bit of effort, a woman named Alietta enters the Hall of Holiness and obtains one of the 7 gods, ‘Asran of the Wind God’s Secret Palace,’ and then disappears.
This event has had a huge impact on the world. Because the Saint disappeared.
Thanks to this, the Church of the Wind has sent numerous hunters all over the world to find her, and the Kingdom of Lumen, her homeland, has also turned on her eyes and searched for her. If I could only figure out the cause and whereabouts of Alietta this time, I could get a very good income.
“It doesn’t matter whether you go sightseeing or not, does that matter?”
Princess Sierra stood in front of me as if she was angry.
“I beg your pardon? you!”
“Why?”
“Is this because you really don’t know how much trouble has happened because of you? Humanity may soon perish, so why must you act like that?”
I stared at her quietly.
“Who the hell is destroying mankind?”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about, are you?”
“Ah, your friend who left that house?”
“Yes.”
“If you want to do it, do it. I don’t think it’s going to make much of a difference.”
“I beg your pardon!”
Then Princess Ignes came up and took Princess Sierra’s arm.
“Sierra. We didn’t come into the halls of divinity to argue.”
“But······.”
“hurry.”
When Princess Ignes took Princess Sierra, I giggled. It seems that Princess Sierra hadn’t heard anything about me. If I had known, it wouldn’t have ended like this, given her personality.
Seeing it now, Princess Ignes, unexpectedly has a heavy mouth. Or, contrary to how it looks, the two are not very close.
Shura came to me.
“Master?”
“Why?”
“Are you in love with your fiancee?”
I put on an expression that I did not understand English at all.
“You, what kind of bullshit are you all of a sudden?”
“The Master’s behavior today is so strange. This is the case, as is the case before I came in. The Master is willing to grant Sir Izenberg’s request without anything in return, right? I’ve never seen a Master like this before.”
I chuckled.
“Not at all. And do you think this is free service?”
“Yes?”
“The scariest thing in the world is that it’s free. Merchants don’t just give it away for free. Everything has a meaning, so I give it to you.”
“But······.”
“This is the church. It is said to be the richest group in the world. Our Padillas don’t even have new feet compared to them. But do I do free service to those guys? are you kidding?”
“Then is there another reason?”
“Okay. So don’t be too jealous of my fiancee. It all makes sense.”
“Not jealousy, I just…”
I pat Shura’s back.
“Know. Know. Can you tell me you can’t be me? You know, so just keep an eye on it.”
We were seated in the Silver Room. Since this is the middle point, we were able to move around the entire hall of the Holy Spirit the fastest.
After a while, the ceremony began, and one by one, the participants of the ceremony were guided by the High Priest as if admiring the Hall of the Holy Spirit, they passed by.
Most of them just went for a walk. Even if it was a fake divine power, the chance of being chosen as the owner was extremely low.
Bored, I said a word to Shura, who was with me.
“Shura. Go to Princess Ignes and borrow the list.”
“A list?”
“Yes. I need someone to check.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
“Yes.”
As Shura headed to the Gold Thread, an old high priest and a young man were seen passing by. It was Milton. He greeted me for a moment and then with a dark face he was about to leave the Silver Chamber.
In fact, Milton had absolutely nothing to do with divine power. Right after I graduated from school, I don’t remember ever hearing about him.
If you have been chosen by God, there is no such thing. Guardians from Yosrahim met every year at the Hwangseong Fortress, and I attended every single time without exception.
“Hey.”
Milton turned around at my call.
“Yes?”
“Is this sword sounding?”
Now, the sword next to me was trembling. It was ‘Adaro, the cold-blooded sword of the Ice God’. Milton, who recognized the ringing, hurriedly walked over.
“Am I really…?”
“Congratulations. Milton County.”
Milton shrieked with joy at the High Priest’s congratulatory message.
‘Now I have paid off my debt.’
When Milton was in the student council, he almost did all the work of the student council alone. It was the most comfortable for me as well as for all the other student council officers. He probably suffered more physically than Hubeo.
“Good job.”
“Yes. thank you.”
Milton saluted with emotion and left the Silver Room with a bright face.
Soon after, Shura came into the Silver Room with the list.
“Master. Here you go.”
“Okay. It was a lot of work.”
I looked at the list and shook my head.
‘Fifth behind Milton.’
Five people pass quickly. Now you just have to wait. I handed the list back to Shura.
“Done. Bring it.”
“Yes.”
Shura tilted her head and took the list again.
Alietta’s turn soon came. As the flow of history, she was chosen by Asran as soon as she entered the Gold Chamber. After a period of quiet prayer, she passed the Silver Room with her fellow saints, Princess Ignes and Sierra.
Princess Ignes came to me with a bright face.
“The Lady of the Wind was born.”
“Therefore?”
“Aren’t you surprised?”
I pouted my mouth.
“Surprised. I see the Saint every day. Go quickly, because I have to go to bed soon.”
“·················.”
“Shura. you go with them It’s the same fellow Saint, but I have to act as the background for the celebration.”
“Yes. master.”
I let Shura go and hurried out through the door on the other side. Because I had someone to meet. In order to covertly pursue Alietta, they need the help of others.
After leaving the hall of holiness, I headed to the meeting place.
‘He came.’
In front of the Archives of Sin, Evelynn stood blankly. She was able to completely hide her presence and could even use invisibility magic, so she was very specialized in following.
When she saw me approaching, she waved to welcome me.
“I’m here?”
“Yes.”
“Back. But why did I call you?”
“We’ve had a deal before. How was it?”
Evelynn made an annoyed face.
“You can come to my hotel and ask about that, why are you calling me all the way here in broad daylight?”
“If I have time, go on a date.”
“Date? Would you like to confess?”
Evelynn’s overreaction made me nauseous.
“I was trying to do that. Something unexpected happened.”
“What happened?”
“I just saw it, and the Great Saint of the Wind was born.”
Evelynn widened her eyes as if in great surprise.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Who are you?”
“Huh. Alietta is a forest elf, like a member of the Order of Chastity.”
“Okay?”
Evelynn’s eyes flicked back and forth rapidly from side to side.
I looked at her carefully. In fact, I also point to Evelynn as one of the suspects in Alietta’s disappearance.
“Why? Do you want me to kidnap you?”
Evelynn waved her hand as if she wasn’t even joking.
“He is talking nonsense. I mean, you can figure out the location of the 7 gods from the sky city of Kronos.”
“Really?”
“Because it is. We don’t really want to get involved with the saints.”
If Evelynn’s statement is true, an interesting result emerges. At least, it means that Kronos had condoned Alietta’s disappearance.
But there is a serious error in what Evelynn just said.
“But did you take your ‘I’m Rosim, the Spirit of Souls’?”
Rosim, the God of Soul, is one of the seven gods believed to have been taken by a friend of a sister who left home.
“That’s because our master isn’t an ordinary person. It is too simple for the master to suppress the tracking magic.”
“Okay? okay.”
“Then why are you asking that?”
“Ah, seeing a strange person showing interest in Alietta. I was wondering if it was yours.”
“no. We didn’t even know that a woman named Alietta had become a saint, what?”
I quietly clenched my chin.
Evelynn has nothing to do with it, and Kronos is a case of the disappearance of a great saint who pretends not to know… I don’t know why, but it’s getting more and more interesting.
“Then can you help me?”
“What?”
“The atmosphere is not serious. If something happens to the Saint, it will be a headache, so I try to prepare in advance.”
“Well, it’s not difficult to do, isn’t it supposed to be free?”
“Based on 80, including daily allowance and risk allowance, total gold 400 leaf.”
Evelynn put a faint smile on her lips at my answer, which seemed to have been prepared in advance.
“Well, you know how to call people. okay. I will do it.”
After that, we hurriedly headed towards the back door of the Hall of Holiness where Alietta was, devising a simple follow-up plan. There is no time. She soon disappears.
By the time we arrived, the celebration of the birth of St. Mary was nearing its end. After waiting for a while, seeing Alietta bid farewell to the other saints for a while, I immediately followed suit.
‘Did you say you disappeared around here?’
The first place Alietta had to go was the Palace of the Powers of Light. Because the Church of Purity belonged to the power of light, and all the key figures in the Church were there.
But for the record, she never met anyone. Because it disappeared in the middle.
“Okay. You can come this way.”
At the words of a middle-aged priest in charge of the guide, Alietta changed her direction. I opened my eyes. The direction the middle-aged priest just pointed to was not the way to the Papal Palace.
Feeling unusual, I looked at Evelynn and nodded.
“From now, you take the lead and follow me, I’ll turn around and go.”
“Okay.”
Evelynn went behind an empty building and then disappeared from sight and appearance. I also hid my presence and followed Alietta from afar along a road.
Alietta and the middle-aged priest the guide seemed to have an occasional brief conversation. It was mostly a message of humility and congratulations, but I couldn’t hear the details because I was far away.
‘Where the hell are you going?’
This road was very unfamiliar to me. In my previous life, I often visited the Great Hall of Divinum, but this is my first time going down this road.
Yet the guards were getting stricter. There were no believers passing by, but it seemed that there was a major building used only by the clergy from the places where numerous paladins and genitals were placed around them.
Eventually, Alietta and the middle-aged priest entered the same building.
I shook my head when I saw the nameplate in front of the building.
‘Sacred Calling of the Oracle…?’
The sanctuary of the oracle was a place where high-ranking clergy above the bishop heard the message of God. It was not an unexpected place as it was the second place Saint Mary visited after receiving her blessing at the Papal Palace.
I went to the road behind the sanctuary of the oracle and slipped over the fence.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
