§ 196. Sigismund Order (5)
Seongjin staggered out of the snow, controlling his body temperature with his aura.
It was quite uncomfortable to lie down and face the wolf upside down.
Fortunately, while Seongjin was relatively defenseless, the wolf took a step back and sat calmly on the floor. This means that they have no intention of attacking right now.
Seongjin, who made that judgment, diligently searched for the bastard along with the Demon King while trying to shake off the snow that had stuck to his cloak.
‘Hey, what on earth is that guy? ‘Why is the wolf talking?’
[I’m not saying it directly. I am sending strong thoughts.]
‘Yeah, whatever it is. Is it the demonic beast of the devil? Or maybe he’s the devil?’
[hmm. well? I don’t particularly feel any magical energy… … .]
The demon lord also seems somewhat puzzled.
Well, the only way to start is to ask him directly.
“good. Talking Wolf. Should I say I’m glad to meet you like this? “Let’s make a statement first.”
After adjusting his clothes to some extent, Seongjin opened his mouth to the wolf.
“I am Mores Klein, the prince of the Holy Empire Delcross. you?”
Then the wolf looked at Seongjin and tilted its head.
[Are you saying you are the third prince who was invited by the Grand Duke? But according to the rumor, Prince Mores is a pig… excuse. I heard that you are relatively overweight.]
Well, he’s a very polite wolf.
[Furthermore, I sense that you are very similar to my people. Are you really a simple human being?]
“… okay.”
Seongjin admitted a beat late.
Strictly speaking, he was an evil spirit possessing Mores’ body, but after all, Mores himself was human. He couldn’t possibly be of the same kin as a wolf or something.
Then the guy looked closely at Seongjin’s face and nodded.
[All right. It seems that it was purely my mistake to think that they were of the same race. Considering that the Archduke is accompanying him, the identity you revealed must be true.]
What the hell is this guy?
Not only do you know people’s rumors, but you recognize Orden’s face and even know that he invited Mores?
[I have felt your presence coming here a few days ago. I was just trying to keep an eye on you because I thought you were my compatriot, but I had no idea that I would end up talking to you alone.]
The fact that he walked away when Seongjin approached him must have meant that this situation was unexpected even for him.
[Now that things have come to this, I have something to ask you. Are you the one who summoned the Demon Beast?]
… what?
Seongjin furrowed his eyebrows, and the wolf asked again.
[And one more thing, why are you the only ones? Where are the Wolf Knights who should be with the Archduke now?]
Do you know about the Demon Tree and the Wolf Knights?
Around that time, Seongjin thought of another possibility about this guy’s identity.
It is neither a witch nor a devil. So, is this perhaps another soul that was taken away by a normal wolf?
What does it mean to say that I felt a kinship with Seongjin? In other words, I felt a sense of kinship as a fellow evil spirit, or something like that?
“hey. I’m sure I would have asked for a full statement, right? “You know what the hell you are, and I have to tell you everything, right?”
When Seongjin growled without hiding his displeasure, the wolf flinched and lowered his head as if caught off guard.
Round eyes and slightly open lower jaw. It was amazing that you could clearly see the guy’s embarrassed expression even though it wasn’t a human face.
[okay. I was rude because I was in a hurry. ‘My’ name is Max.]
“Okay, Max. and?”
[This is an ordinary wolf dog that lives in this area.]
“… what? common? “Wolf dog?”
In the end, Seongjin couldn’t stand it anymore and got angry.
“Hey, dude! Are you really going to say that you mistook me for a wolf dog? “Don’t you think this is a very poor explanation?”
Then the wolf dropped its tail and whined.
[I am very sorry about that. However, if you are from the Seonghwang family, I cannot give you a detailed explanation about myself. This is an inevitable choice for all of us, so can you please understand?]
“What understanding! You bastard, tell me the truth right now! “Are you an evil spirit who was killed by a wolf dog?”
[It’s an evil spirit, I can’t stand it!]
“Otherwise, how do you know about the Demon Tree? How far is it from here to there? Are you a member of the Dark Church? “Are you an evil spirit from the Penitent Church?”
[This is a pointless speculation. I am not a member of the Dark Church!]
“Then what is it?”
[So this is Max! I can’t give you a detailed explanation, but at least I didn’t lie to you!]
Then the Demon King whispered to Seongjin.
[That’s true, Seongjin Lee. Although there are some parts that are a bit questionable.]
“Okay… … .”
Seongjin wiped away his anger by touching his throbbing forehead.
If he’s not a witch, a devil, or even an evil spirit, then what on earth is this guy?
At that time, the wolf turns its head to the side and sniffs the air.
[…] Wow, it looks like we don’t have much time left now.]
At the same time, Seongjin also detected a presence. I saw the signs of Masain and Orden rushing towards us.
The two looked at each other as if they had made a promise.
“If you can never tell me what you are, let me ask you this: “Are you the one who is causing harm to the Sigismund Territory?”
When Seongjin asked that question, his hand had already reached the nutcracker.
Then the wolf stared at Seongjin. The eyes are dry with little emotion, and even seem somewhat detached.
[At least in my subjective judgment, I am not a harmful being here.]
The devil bastard whispered.
It’s true.
Seongjin, relieved, lowered his hand from the sword and sighed. Then the wolf asks Seongjin.

[Please give me one clear answer as well. Did you summon the Demon Beast?]
“No, I’m not. “I have no idea who did it.”
[…] … .]
The wolf stared at Seongjin for a moment with spotless black eyes and then nodded.
[all right. I will trust you.]
Lightly. After wagging its tail a couple of times, the wolf turned away from Seongjin. It looks like the two are probably planning to leave before they arrive here.
At that time, Seongjin suddenly became curious and asked.
“Hey, Max. “What would you have done if you said I was the one who summoned the Demon Beast?”
[…] … .]
Then the wolf, who had been taking a couple of steps, turned his head and answered.
[Isn’t it the same as you? I tried to make sure you never do something like that again.]
“… … .”
On the outside, they seemed to be talking calmly to each other, but in reality, they were both ready to fight to the death.
At that time, a voice was heard from over there desperately looking for Seongjin.
“Lowering!”
“Hey!”
Taking that as a signal, the wolf lightly kicked its eyes.
When Seongjin confirmed the location of the two people and turned his head again, the wolf had already completely disappeared beyond the forest.
* * *
“Whoa… … .”
A small sigh echoes softly through the training hall.
The paladins of Lilium stopped training all at once and looked back at the stage.
There, Prince Logan, their idol and spiritual leader, was touching Arjuna’s handle with a gloomy face. It was like a habit that appeared whenever she was upset.
And this was Lilium’s impression as she looked at it.
‘Ah, that look full of worry! This too is like a sacred painting!’
The prince’s deep blue eyes were filled with a high-dimensional depth that a criminal would not dare guess.
Why is that great prince, who always thinks only of the subjects of the empire, so troubled this time?
“He is clearly thinking of his subjects who are suffering from Hae-soo.”
“No, you always worry about your subjects. Haven’t you been taking the lead in helping the monster task force lately? He must be honoring the subjects of the imperial capital who sacrificed their lives in the terrible plague.”
“With such short-sighted thinking, can you even follow his toes? “The prince is clearly distressed as he thinks about the distant future of the empire!”
Of course, none of them had any idea that Logan was thinking these thoughts with such a sad face.
‘I want to make it too. Little Saint Aurelion’s Pocket… . An adult’s bald head has never felt so cold… … .’
‘Amelia’s flower petal embroidery was really cute. It would look pretty even if you used lace silk like Sisley. But how do I make that?’
‘The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel. At this age, I have no experience with sewing or knitting… … .’
Amelia has always been a person with good intuition. And Sisley even has excellent foresight.
If those two people said there was nothing out of the ordinary, there must be something there. So, it would be a good idea for Logan to also put a little bit of effort into this little statue like they did.
Above all, Logan couldn’t help but worry that his little saint was being treated poorly compared to the two others.
He took out the wooden statue he had kept in his arms and looked at the saint’s warm, smiling face without saying a word.
‘I am truly sorry, old man. I am a worthless person who has no special skills and cannot even make a small cone for your head.’
It was a lament about the situation of the youngest sword master on the continent.
And the Paladins of Lilium who were watching this were whispering loudly.
“Does this mean that not only will we continue the legacy of Saint Bastian, but now we will also imitate the virtues of Saint Aurelion?”
“How can you be so wonderful! Isn’t this really the right idea? Although we are divided into several Holy Knights for convenience, aren’t we originally the Lord’s knights who must follow the Lord’s will and pursue all of his virtues?”
After the Lilium Knights’ training session was over.
The knights were finally able to hear from Logan the full story of his worries.
And they were deeply moved again.
‘Perhaps he is such a warm-hearted person! ‘You can’t believe you show such deep affection even for the brother who has been tormenting you for years!’
“It’s so shameless to cause you these unnecessary worries.”
All the Lilium knights shouted at Logan, who spoke with embarrassment.
“No, sir! “Of course it’s something we should help with!”
“I know the best place to place the little saint. “Would you please leave the saint to us?”
“Best place?”
When Logan tilted his head, the knights responded by raising their hands over their brief armor.
“I swear to the Lord that I will place little Saint Aurelion in the safest, most sacred place!”
“There is no place on the ecliptic more blessed than that!”
Toward the trustworthy knights of Lilium, Logan smiled brightly, something rare.
“Thank you everyone! “Thanks to you, I can take a breather thanks to you.”
Ah, to the followers, it will be a sacred smile like a ray of glory from the Lord.
That evening, St. Bastian Church.
Archbishop Wesker, who had visited the prayer room to pray to wrap up the day, was startled by the view of the prayer room that was somehow different from usual, and looked around with harsh eyes.
And soon it was over.
In the place where the beautiful statue of St. Bastian should have been, a little bald old man was standing and laughing!
“… … ?!”
What is that?
One of the high-ranking priests spoke with a perplexed face at her absurd muttering.
“So, what is it? I guess it’s Saint Aurelion… … .”
“okay. Why on earth is Saint Aurelion here? “Isn’t this the most blessed place in the church, honoring the will of St. Bastian?”
“That was the earnest request of the Lilium knights. “Please keep the little saint here at least until Prince Mores returns.”
“Lilium?”
“Yes, I heard it was for Prince Logan… … .”
Those idiots who can’t communicate!
Wesker held his throbbing forehead and let out a low groan.
At the same time, the office of the main palace.
As usual, Seonghwang, who had received a report on his children’s status from Lewis, quietly pondered as he looked at the small adult lying on the desk.
‘Is it not enough to offer blessings every day? I can’t believe my sincerity for my child isn’t enough, I still have a long way to go… … .’
