§ 125. The trials of the saint (5)
When you become a saint in another world, isn’t it important to have relationships with attractive sub-male leads?
Of course, my head is filled with thoughts of saving the world, but I can’t help but be shaken when all the male leads around me whisper love to me!
-In order to inherit the throne, he became engaged to a woman who did not want him. But the true owner of my heart is you, noble saint.
Leonard, Prince of Rohan.
Although he has a lot of playboy temperament, he is an attractive and ambitious man who eventually becomes obsessed with a saint and cannot escape. I will abandon her beautiful queen and woo her saint.
-It’s a strange thing. The free wind guides my soul, but in the end it always returns to you like this.
Wandering Knight Fernand.
I am a romantic swordsman who is currently traveling across the continent and creating an epic story of love. He is evaluated as a libertine who will succeed the Holy Emperor, but in the end, he only hangs around the Holy Woman.
-I can’t leave Delcross because I’m worried about your safety. From now on, rather than subjugating Hae-su, I intend to fulfill my duty as a noble person by staying by her saint’s side.
Prince Logan, a genius paladin.
Although he is a cool-headed man with a calm, calm expression, he is actually a kind-hearted man who can drain both the liver and gallbladder of the saint he loves… Hogu?
“Wait a minute, isn’t that a bit of a pushover?”
“If you capture him, you will be able to receive infinitely more devoted love. “Why don’t you like it?”
“Ah, this person is making a statement that goes against the grain again. Take note! These days, he’s cruel to others, but kind to the female lead! “That kind of male lead is trending!”
“… “You’re very handsome, aren’t you?”
“… Of course, the face is the most important possibility.”
And in this novel, there is a hidden sub male lead.
-Not everyone in the world accepts me. Momma and Abamama already abandoned me a long time ago. But you, you are the only one looking straight at me.
You fat son of a bitch, Prince Mores.
I’ve recently changed my mind and trained my body. However, as he was unable to overcome the emotional wounds he received as a child, he was drawn to the gentleness of the saint who embraced him, like a baby bird following its mother bird… … .
“What is this again? Who is this immature little boy? “Saving the world isn’t enough, now I have to take care of baby birds too?”
“So the face… … .”
“okay. receipt!”
okay. The most important thing in romantic fantasy is ultimately appearance.
If an ugly person does it, it’s the main strategy, but if a good person does it, it becomes a sad and sad thing that stimulates motherly love.
Ah, I am a woman. You’re like a slave to your looks that you can’t help, hehe!
“Ah, if you happen to capture Iza, there is one thing to be careful about.”
“Anything to watch out for?”
“exactly. This prince is special in many ways. “If interest is handled incorrectly, the world in the novel will have the worst possible ending.”
“aha! So there’s a reason he’s a hidden character? “What should I be careful about?”
“So he actually…” … .”
* * *
Seongjin blinked his eyes.
‘What is this again…’ … .’
After morning training, I went to work at the Monster Task Force feeling refreshed and was working, when the unpleasant guy I thought I would never see again suddenly came to the Task Force office.
Orden Sigismund bowed his head with a blunt expression and showed a minimalistic courtesy.
“I see you, the prince.”
He still had a stiff neck.
“OK.”
“… … !”
Still, seeing that tearful face made me laugh a little.
Seongjin asked, laughing.
“But what’s going on in our department?”
Orden soon adjusted his expression and opened his mouth with a calm face.
“Actually, I came to the monster task force to file a complaint.”
“accusation?”
“Yes, it’s about the atrocities of a giant merchant called the Milo Merchant Marine.”
Seongjin tilted his head.
Then isn’t the street number wrong? If something is illegal, you can file a complaint to the court, and if something is against the rules, you can contact the merchant union-related department within the administration?
“This is an issue that could threaten the safety of not only the Sigismund domain but the entire continent. “It looks like it will be difficult for the territory to resolve the issue on its own due to the involvement of corruption, so I hope the imperial palace will take some action.”
“… … .”
Something wrong.
Seongjin looked closely at Orden’s expression without answering. It was difficult to read her expression because she had such a stiff face.
‘I’m not asking for an inquisitor or an exorcist, but I’m looking for a monster department with no record… … .’
This is an incident that took a toll on this damn family.
It is difficult to resolve the issue on its own due to differing positions within the family, and if it goes to the heresy court, it will inevitably be held accountable.
“… “Let’s listen first.”
As Seongjin sat down, Orden looked to the side with a slightly uncomfortable expression.
ah. Is Inquisitor Sir Valery worried?
“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about this person. It belongs entirely to the Monsters Department, and it will not be revealed to the Heresy Tribunal without my permission. Right, Sir Valerie?”
Then the red-haired Inquisitor smiled weakly with a bitter face.
“Yes, it’s okay. “I can never go against your words.”
So why are you arbitrarily taking out banned books and hiding in the monster task force office to read them, you stupid Inquisitor?
“Huh. It’s the same for me too. “Your words are the future of the monster task force.”
As Sir Sharon grinned next to him, Orden’s expression worsened.
He seemed to regret it, wondering if he had come here for no reason. I guess Sir Sharon doesn’t seem like a very sane person.
Seongjin had no choice but to leave the monster task force behind. And before the bastard ran away, he calmed him down with a gentle smile on his face.

“Now, don’t hesitate and tell me. “Our monster task force is always wide open for the subjects of the empire.”
At that moment, I felt Orden tense up and freeze.
huh? Why is this guy like this all of a sudden?
[Wow, you just looked so evil. It was like a broker urging you to sign a long-term sales contract!]
… Shut up, you demon lord whose reality has been patched in unnecessary detail!
After trying to coax the wary Archduke here and there for a while, he finally heard about the situation in Sigismund’s estate, which was quite unusual.
Recently, a suspicious drug has been distributed in the territory, and since then, it is not uncommon for people in the territory to show strange behavior or suddenly disappear.
“… “Is it a drug?”
“I guess so, but in fact, it is not a type of drug known on the continent.”
Several years ago, Margrave Sigismund signed an exclusive contract with a large merchant company called Milo Merchant.
From the point of view of the estate, which depended on the merchant for many daily necessities in a harsh environment, there was no reason to refuse a transaction with the merchant who offered a low profit with the goal of making a large profit.
In this way, suspicious herbal powders along with cheap, high-quality daily necessities began to circulate within the territory.
And people who boiled the powder into tea and drank it started talking nonsense and going crazy, or suddenly went into the black forest and disappeared.
“Then isn’t it a matter of just banning distribution?”
“That’s a little ambiguous. “When you drink it for the first time, it gives you a slight sense of uplift and euphoria, so even at the upper level of Milo, it is marketed as a tea that gives vitality.”
The person who explained this and that, showing documents, was a man named Hermann, Orden’s subordinate. Unlike that stiff archduke, this one is quite conversant.
“In order to request a ban on legal distribution, you must clearly provide evidence that the herb is a drug. However, it does not have a particularly strong analgesic effect, and it does not cause an excessive meditative state to the point of becoming mentally and physically weak… … .”
“hmm.”
While listening to the explanation, Seongjin was able to roughly guess the situation behind it.
It’s legal, it’s illegal, and if the margrave just bans it, that’s all that matters. In other words, the fact that a request to ban distribution had to be made on legal grounds meant that the person distributing the medicine in collaboration with the Milo merchant was a powerful family member.
And if he is someone who cannot handle the position of the official successor, the Archduke, perhaps.
‘It’s the Margrave’s doing.’
Are you moving in opposition to the state of California? That guy must be in quite a bit of trouble too.
“The Grand Duke has recently been away from the territory for a long time, participating in a martial arts competition in another country. But when I came back, I found that everyone in the territory was drinking this tea. However, since it was being distributed in powder form, we could not confirm what the raw materials were.”
Saying that, Hermann took something out of his pocket. It looked like a few flat rice seeds wrapped in a handkerchief.
“This is the raw material for tea that we only recently obtained by tracking down distributors.”
Seongjin was possessed by a strange premonition and examined the object carefully.
Although it has dried out and become flat, this is definitely not an herb.
‘Hey, devil. Doesn’t this look somewhat familiar?’
[Eh? It’s true. Are these dried Loperum eggs?]
what? Where did this guy come from?
When Seongjin looked at Orden with new eyes, he trembled as if he sensed something ominous.
“so? I understand very well that this car was suddenly released into the territory, and the damage suffered by Young Ji-min was severe. But why do you suspect that fraud was involved in the distribution of this car?”
In response to Seongjin’s question, Orden and Herman closed their mouths and winked for a moment.
However, Orden soon seemed to have made up his mind and placed a small medal on the table with a sigh. It is a small red medal with a clumsy spider pattern engraved on it.
“This is the mark of the Dark Church obtained while searching the distributor.”
As Seongjin picked up the medal, Hermann added an explanation.
“During the process of investigating the top of the mill, it is being discovered frequently. “The Milo Merchant Marine is clearly related to the remnants of the Dark Church.”
That means that the force that spread Loferum eggs across the ecliptic is also related to the Milo clan. After Priest Hayes, the remnants of the Dark Church that had lost their traces were visible.
The Deleria butterfly that Logan saw near Sigismund’s territory may not be completely unrelated to them!
‘I thought he was just a guy with a bad personality, but it turns out that this guy is a fortune.’
When Seongjin grinned, Orden was startled and then squinted his eyes in a disrespectful manner.
But whatever. In Seongjin’s eyes, Orden no longer looked like a cocky kid full of energy, but just like a plump lamb waiting to be put on the table.
“Yes, the monster task force will help with this.”
Seongjin raised the corners of his mouth happily.
“But with your bare mouth?”
“… yes?”
Seongjin explained step by step to the two people who looked dumbfounded.
“As you know, our department still has a small number of personnel, and we are currently overwhelmed with investigating the Gray Plague. “Nevertheless, he is deliberately stepping forward for Sigismund’s territory.”
“… … .”
“Of course, since this is work for the subjects of the empire, I am not saying that I will receive separate compensation for my efforts. But shouldn’t they at least cover the expenses for the activities of people in our department?”
Orden nodded with a puzzled expression.
“Yes, that is natural.”
“And let me make this clear too.”
Seongjin looked straight into his eyes and said.
“I’ll leave this matter aside. “You owe me this time.”
“… … .”
“You will have to repay that debt to me at any time and in some form. got it?”
Orden’s pupils shook slightly.
“of course… As long as this matter is resolved, we will somehow be able to… … .”
“No, that’s not it. It’s just another debt that will arise after it is resolved. “You have to do the calculation right away.”
“… … ?”
“Don’t you know? I am now covering up the collusion between the Sigismund family and the Dark Church. It’s to hide the family’s mistakes from the Inquisition. “You’re not planning on just passing up that favor, are you?”
Awesome. I felt like I could hear the blood draining from the Archduke’s face.
As the matter was serious, the two people seemed to be out of their minds from shock. So, not only Hermann but also Orden could not hear the words of the people in the task force who were whispering behind the scenes with puzzled faces.
“and… creeps. Mr. Mores, I haven’t seen it that way, but you seem to be able to play it cool. Have you seen it? “The expression on your face doesn’t change at all?”
“Representative Jibril. “Please refrain from using profane words or actions.”
“By the way, Sir Masaine. Until just now, wasn’t your Majesty really considering how to send an investigation team to Sigismund’s territory? “I think it’s a good opportunity, but why are you selling medicine to the Archduke like that now?”
“I’m sure you have your own thoughts. We just follow him.”
“Huh. jeon… I already knew. As expected, your potential is amazing.”
“Lord Sharon? “Maybe that potential doesn’t mean you’re a swindler?”
