◈ Episode 645 Salesin Van Bretus (2)
Newspapers were published in countries across the continent, including Lederbelk.
Common incidents were listed on the front pages of newspapers published in all countries.
[The archbishops, including the cardinal of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus, have died!]
[The culprit is Heathcliff van Bretus, the illegitimate son of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus.]
[The king of heresy who commands demons? Who on earth is he?]
The incident immediately caught people’s attention.
In the midst of all the commotion due to the recent devil incident, a heretic who manipulates the devil has appeared.
Moreover, since he was the bloodline of the previous successes, interest could not help but become even hotter.
This is what was written in the newspaper:
It is said that Heathcliff van Bretus made a pact with an evil spirit and massacred the cardinals and archbishops of the Holy Kingdom.
Thanks to the cooperation of the empire, they were able to immediately capture the criminal alive, and they said they would transport him to the Holy Kingdom.
“You had an illegitimate child? “What happened?”
“You’re an evil spirit’s contract. “It’s truly terrible.”
“He’s practically the devil.”
“They say you are using the devil. In fact, he is even worse. “Kyaak tut.”
People around the world argued over the incident committed by Ludger.
Although the words were controversial, most people actually criticized him for his actions.
Although he was of royal blood, he worshiped a pagan god, and even murdered Cardinal Patrick, who was well-known in the world.
That’s not all. Nearly thousands of people who moved with him all died.
One person can kill thousands.
This was a mass murder unprecedented in history.
“How is this possible on my own? “Isn’t it fake?”
“They say you’re borrowing the power of an evil spirit. “It is said that in the past, the devil even destroyed the country.”
“Is this really okay? A pagan god. “I didn’t even know something like that existed.”
“But I guess it’s okay since I said I captured it. “They say they will transport him from the Holy Kingdom and put him on the execution table soon.”
“Maybe the recent demon incident was also committed by this human?”
Heathcliff’s notoriety spread throughout the continent.
Not only did he massacre the priests and paladins of the Holy Kingdom, but he was also responsible for the Ledervelk incident and the Isla Machina incident.
People condemned Heathcliff, but at the same time praised the actions of Salesin and the Holy Kingdom.
Seongguk went one step further.
The priests and paladins prepared in the Holy Kingdom were dispatched across the continent, declaring their intention to completely erase all traces of heresy.
Apprentices and regular priests 30,000.
20,000 regular paladins.
1,000 senior priests.
800 senior paladins.
Five Archbishops.
And even priests and saints.
As if to show that it was just for this moment that the doors had been locked for the past 20 years, the Holy Kingdom’s forces quickly spread across the continent.
Considering that Salesin, a prosperous person at the time, was staying in the Exilion Empire.
It was safe to say that Seongguk was currently empty.
“Has Seongguk gone crazy?”
“How on earth did you gather this many troops before you knew it? “Is it possible for the number of priests and paladins to increase so dramatically in 20 years?”
“Rather, if power is dispersed to this extent, what about the home country? “Isn’t it empty?”
Despite these concerns, the defenses inside the castle were also strong.
As if those who died with Cardinal Patrick were part of the military, they had amassed a huge number over the past 20 years.
“What on earth is Seongguk planning to do? Are you going to go to war?”
“Even so, there is something strange about trying to exert influence over the entire continent rather than focusing on just one country.”
“I can’t say anything because the justification is to eradicate heresy. “Because heresy actually existed and the devil also appeared.”
For the Holy Kingdom of Bretus, this could be said to be the best time for activity.
What if I go out here and protest against their actions for no reason and am branded a heretic?
In a state where there was nothing, even if I shouted that the Holy Kingdom of Bretus was a heresy, there was no one who would listen.
Now, the devil has appeared and someone who worships a heretical god has appeared.
It was not a good time to rebut.
“Besides, the success is also suspicious. “As soon as he ascends the throne, he heads straight to the empire.”
“Didn’t the previous great king always keep his position?”
“They say this generation’s success is even young. “I don’t know if he’s full of blood or if he made some kind of deal with the empire, but I need to be careful.”
“First of all, please make the delegation that comes to our country as welcoming as possible. “After all, they are devils and heretics, so even if it is just an excuse, they have to face it.”
There was no country that restrained the Holy Kingdom’s actions.
1st Princess Eileen, who was informed of such a situation, frowned as if she was in a bad mood.
“under. “Is this how the game was set up?”
Eileen thought of Salesin van Bretus, the current emperor who came to the empire.
Ludger Chelsea.
No, Salesin, who could now be called the older brother of the man who was Heathcliff, looked somewhat like Ludger.
However, the atmosphere was just the opposite.
Unlike Ludger, who exudes a cold, cold, and unapproachable aura, Salesin had a friendly and gentle impression.
But Eileen had no doubt that the intention was completely different.
Ludger is a person who looks like nothing on the outside, but on the inside he is full of compassion and consideration for others.

Salesin, on the other hand, had cruelty hidden beneath his smiling face.
‘Otherwise, there is no way he could so easily dismiss Cardinal Patrick, who trusted and followed him faithfully.’
Eileen thought she should be wary of Salesin.
Although he said he had come to the Empire in person to express his gratitude, I did not believe his words.
Salesin most likely came to do something to the empire.
And of course, Eileen knew what Salesin believed.
‘You weak little brother.’
Yvelon von Exilion.
Eileen’s younger brother and the second prince of the empire.
My younger brother is soft-hearted and doesn’t have great political skills.
A child who was exceptionally talented in artistic fields such as painting, music, and creative writing, and because he also enjoyed them, he thought that he was not suitable for the emperor.
Yvelon, who was like that, has now begun to come to the front, welcoming the Bretus delegation.
‘Are you saying that everything up until now has been fake?’
I already knew that Ibelon had something in his heart.
Ibellon was wise enough not to reveal it to the outside world, so Eileen did not bother to touch him.
But now.
Ibellon moved in earnest as if what he usually showed was a lie.
“The princess. “What do you plan to do?”
Pasius asked Eileen.
Considering the right to succession to the throne, Ibelon’s actions seemed like a challenge to Eileen’s authority.
No, it would actually be a challenge.
Otherwise, there is no way the guy who has been so calm until now can move like a fish in water.
“We must stop the second prince even now.”
“I think so too, but it’s easier said than done. “The biggest problem is the success of Salesin.”
“… … okay. “As long as he’s here, we can’t easily touch the second prince.”
Even if the second prince, Ibellon, set it up as he pleased, it was like an echo that would not ring if those around him did not respond.
A place where Eileen has solidified her power within the empire.
No matter what Ibelon did, the empire should not have even moved.
The problem began when Salesin van Bretus actively joined Ibelon.
It was quite embarrassing for the people around him to see the current emperor openly favoring the second prince.
“At least, I thought I felt at ease recently thanks to the Lumos family being brought here.”
“It was called Flora Lumos. It was amazing. “Such bold aspirations at that age.”
“An illegitimate child is nothing more than a label. What’s important is that she pushed out Kayden Lumos and even her other siblings to become the acting head of the family. “I was there to lend an arm, but it wouldn’t have been easy for her without his talent and charisma.”
However, despite this good news, Eileen lightly touched her fair forehead with her fingers as if she had a headache.
“The question is, is it a success?”
The ironclad castle that Eileen had built up was enough to shake its position with just one action.
“He was right. “I should have hit his little brother as fast as possible.”
Even if I were to worry about Ibellon’s treatment now, it was already too late.
Eileen blamed herself for her complacency, but Fascius did not think so.
‘The princess. In fact, you knew that Second Prince Evelyn was dangerous more than anyone else, but you tried to ignore the truth because of your kinship.’
Eileen seemed like a more heartless person than anyone else, but in reality, she wasn’t.
You could tell just by looking at the way he cared for his younger brother Erendir.
‘He tries hard to pretend not to be, but in reality, he has a warm heart. That’s why I serve you.’
Pacius spoke to Eileen with a firm resolve.
“I will continue to monitor 2nd Prince Ibellon. No matter how much we join hands with Holy Father Salesin, there is nothing we can do right now. All you have to do is watch and wait for the moment when a loophole is revealed.”
“I’m sorry, but that won’t work. “Lord Pacius.”
Suddenly the door opened and 2nd Prince Ibellon came inside.
Pacius narrowed his eyes at the sight.
There must have been security outside, but how?
Rather, you were listening to this conversation?
While Fascius was confused by the appearance of Ibelon, whom he could not understand at all, Eileen rested her chin on one hand and stared at Ibelon.
“Seeing it suddenly appear like this, I guess that’s what I thought.”
“sister. “Just give up.”
“give up? “It’s quite grandiose to say something based on a sudden success.”
“You can’t stop him. No, not everything in the world can stop him.”
“You are going to ignore the international community?”
No matter how much Bretus holds the right now, it is not enough to completely fill the vacancies of the past 20 years.
Moreover, since the world situation was based on the absence of Bretus, everyone is calm now, but there may be a sudden change at any time and pressure on the Holy Kingdom.
“Do you think we have the power to dismiss people like we did in the past?”
“Of course, the current Holy Kingdom does not have that level of authority. But sister. Do you think that’s all there is to the Holy Kingdom?”
“You speak as if you saw something.”
“This is the mercy I can give to you.”
“I can’t listen to you anymore. Please be thankful that the reason I left you like this is because of the affection of flesh and blood.”
“Because of that blood-relative affection, my sister was cornered like this.”
As Ivelon said that, he took out something from his arms.
It was a scripture the size of a person’s palm.
The moment I opened the golden-covered scripture, it began to shine and a strange power engulfed the entire space.
The moment Pacius saw that, he drew his sword.
Stop.
However, he showed a moment of hesitation.
Even though Ibelon was an enemy, he was also a member of the royal family.
Injuring the body of a member of the royal family is an absolutely prohibited act as a Royal Guard.
To Fascius, who only served Eileen, it showed a momentary loophole.
In that moment, the light flowing from the scriptures engulfed Fascius and Eileen.
“You should have guessed why I was able to come here without any interference.”
The light in Eileen’s eyes disappeared.
It was the same with Fascius.
The two remained silent as if they had lost their senses.
It was like looking at a doll whose soul had disappeared, leaving only a shell.
Ibelon stared at Eileen quietly.
“Excellent. “Ibelon believer.”
match. match. match.
Salesin walked in with applause behind him.
Ibelon turned to Salesin and bowed his head to him.
The fact that he, a member of the royal family, bowed his head to Salesin meant that he was acknowledging that the empire was under the Holy Kingdom.
However, Ibelon’s expression did not show any sense of contempt.
“Are you here? “Good luck, Your Majesty.”
“You really did as I asked.”
“Say this. “Isn’t this my role?”
“Well done. “Thanks to the right choice of the Ibellon believers, the empire did not fall and was able to continue its legacy.”
At first glance, it seemed like an arrogant statement, but Ivelon knew that it was the truth.
“The empire will go down in history. “Unlike 500 years ago.”
“yes. “Thank you for your grace.”
“It will be the same in other countries. “Soon, the priests who have been dispatched will begin the procession.”
Salesin grinned as he looked at Eileen.
Red eyes, curved like a crescent moon, glowed magically.
“We are dispersing our power across the continent.”
