Surviving as a Saint in Another World - Chapter 141



Aftermath (2)

A few days after an unprecedented incident in which an unknown monster rampaged at Robben Academy, located in the heart of the empire, causing numerous casualties and property damage.

It was long if it was long and short if it was short, but people were finding stability in their own way.

The reason they were able to regain stability relatively quickly was largely due to the fact that there were few casualties.

Most of the physical assets lost in this incident, including the Robben Academy building, belonged to the imperial family, so unless the imperial family discussed the loss, no one would raise their voices about property damage.

In the end, the important thing is the loss of life, but few people died compared to property damage, and most of them died in churches outside the academy. There was also an atmosphere of

However, that is only the story of people who do not know anything about the situation, who have only heard about the situation in writing or verbally.

It was because those who knew the truth about this case in one way or another were arguing every day.

“How many times do I have to tell you. This is all about death.”

“Does that make sense?”

“So you’re saying we have to create additional deaths that don’t exist?”

“Princess Azalia. At that time, there were not one or two people who witnessed the death of the person next to them. Why are you trying to cover the sky with your palms?”

The first issue was the story of the bizarrely low death toll. One quadrant of the densely populated academy had been completely wiped out, and the number of deaths was so few that we could count on one hand?

Rather strange, isn’t it?

In addition, there were not one or two witnesses who died during the uproar.

Then what the hell did they see?

“It was a confusing situation for everyone. The bleeding was so severe that the Mac might mistakenly think they were dead when they saw those whose vitals were weakened.”

“You mean the best academy medical professor in the empire? Do you know what happened to that professor now? Isn’t that a fact that the imperial family is already aware of?”

“Originally, after going through life and death battles, a lot of people change. Sometimes, they get mental problems in a bad direction.”

“So you’re saying that the professor is crazy?”

“I don’t think it’s a matter for me to judge on that part.”

Ronan’s ability that Azalea was sure to hide.

Not one or two witnessed its ability, no different from that of a god who revived the dead.

Of course, people didn’t associate Ronan with his ability to bring the dead back to life in the first place.

Isn’t it too out of the way even if it’s a saint no matter how much it’s an individual’s ability.

However, there were too many people who witnessed the ridiculous miracle inside the academy, and among them, there were many who witnessed the roots of trees that sprouted from the ground before the miracle happened, and the divine power radiating from there.

By the time people arrive at the place where the monster was rampaging, countless knights and dwarves who fought there are lying neatly on the flat ground, and most of them are still alive and breathing even though they are covered in blood. He was putting his hand on a tree.

Isn’t that a very blatant circumstantial evidence?

As the story related to the two began to spread, another rumor was secretly mixed.

Rumors that Saint Ronan has a history of reviving people even in the church, where everything is unclear who the person who survived and who the eyewitness who spread the rumor is unclear.

However, when combined with the two huge facts above, ‘absolutely’ became ‘no way’ and ‘no way’ became ‘maybe’, creating a possibility in people’s minds.

By any chance, was it Saint Ronan who realized the miracle?

The fact that it evolved so quickly that rumors started to circulate also fueled the suspicion.

The fact that the rumors disappeared so neatly meant that someone was controlling them, and it was impossible to do such a thing in the middle of the empire, avoiding the eyes of the empire, unless the subject controlling the rumors was the imperial family.

If it’s a story without anything special, if it’s a normal situation, most of them would have guessed it and stepped out.

Because there are no people who dare to bring their own anger to the story the imperial family is trying to cover up.

But this time it was different.

Death. Being able to overcome the concept, a symbol of eternal fear among intelligent beings, was a part worth clinging to, even with uncertain information and even if it earned the royal family’s disapproval.

Besides, they didn’t even have to go first. Because there were people who were putting pressure on the imperial family before anyone else in this situation.

“Then what the hell is the imperial family going to judge?

“It seems that the Church has a lot of negligence in that regard.”

“The only thing the Church intervened in was dealing with a traitor named Petus. Are you trying to accuse us of the crime after doing this wrongly?”

Many people were affected by this incident.

Not to mention those who directly lost their lives or those who lost their lives, and the academy suffered a huge blow to the imperial family, and the master of the empire, Ludmilla, was said to be the master of this situation. The dwarves were also created by devil worshipers. I couldn’t take care of it, so I couldn’t look at it well because I heard that Ludmilla provided an opportunity to fall.

It was difficult to determine who suffered the most among these, but it was not difficult to pinpoint the one that benefited the most.

The Orion Church. Unexpectedly, they were the biggest beneficiaries of this situation.

First of all, the Church of Orion was secretly confronting the Church of different races and the imperial family.

It was only natural that the Church benefited from their trouble.

Even the situation was related to the devil worshipers, and a number of damages occurred because the key figures of the imperial family, who had been corrupted by the devil worshipers, did the work? Could.

In addition, people who witnessed the miracle at the time of the incident either converted to the Orion Church or began to show a positive attitude, but since the place where the incident took place was the academy, most of them were skeptical of the Church or close to the royal family.

It was not enough to intimidate the opponent without touching it, and even absorbed the forces, so the situation was so bad that even if the church was so strong that even if the imperial family was pressured, the imperial family could only argue for both sides.

And the biggest problem with all these bad conditions was that this wasn’t the worst.

The worst thing is.

“I don’t know why we have to continue this pointless argument in the first place. Saint Ronan should come back to where he should be and tell us what we’re misunderstanding.”

It was that the church was blatantly demanding Ronan’s safety.

No matter how early the imperial family suppressed the rumors, there was no way that the church could not have heard of the miracle Ronan had caused.

Perhaps because of that, they took advantage of this opportunity and began to demand that Ronan be released again, which had been quiet for a while.

“In the first place, isn’t the academy currently in a situation where normal operation itself is impossible? It’s difficult to even pretend to take classes to save the face of the imperial family anymore, so I don’t know how you’re trying so desperately to stop them from returning to where they should be. “

“Cover your words. It sounds like you are saying that we are forcibly restraining Saint Ronan’s body.”

“Well… if the imperial family continues to reject our legitimate demands, then it might not be a lie. Or… seeing that the imperial family’s aides were devil worshipers, the imperial family itself is leading this matter…”

bang!

“I will not tolerate further insults.”

The dispatched person from the Church, who paused for a moment at Azalea’s stern attitude, responded with a smile again.

“Of course, I didn’t say this assuming that the imperial family that supports the empire has actually rotted that much. I apologize for my rudeness. However, the fact that the imperial family imprisoning Saint Ronan for no apparent reason could lead to such a misunderstanding. Please keep that in mind.”

After saying that, the clergyman took one look at Azalea’s hard face, then stood up, greeted her, and left the meeting room.

A disrespectful attitude that he would not have dared to take against a princess of the empire until recently. That attitude clearly showed how ridiculously the church had benefited from this incident.

Azalea, who stared at the place where the priest left with a hard face for a long time, stood up with a tired face.

No matter how much strength he gave to his body, parts of his body that had not yet fully healed were complaining of pain.

“Saint Ronan. What on earth should I do with this situation?”

Ronan ideally solved this situation to the extent of going too far.

It was strange to anyone to see that the world was not made of fairy tales, and that all but one or two knights, who faced off against monsters that made victims only in the aftermath of battles, were still alive.

In the end, the story of the ability to transcend death leaked out, and things were going as Azalea feared.

No, it was worse than that.

At least at that time, Ludmilla appeared as the culprit of the incident and the imperial family was not assumed to be tied up.

Even in a perfect state, I don’t have the confidence to block all the hands of desire towards Ronan, but there was no answer because it was so restricted.

In particular, the church’s blatant offensive was a nuisance.

The others weren’t immediately active, at least concentrating on figuring out how things were going, but the Church seemed to have no qualms about sticking its head out.

In fact, there was no wrong part in their words, so there was no fear of counterattack, so it was a bold move that could come out.

In fact, what was holding Ronan was the item ‘graduating from the academy to learn’ that the church initially agreed to, and at some point, the label of apprenticeship became infamous, and everyone did not know that it turned into an excuse to hold the saint in the imperial family.

Until now, the church could not break the promise made under mutual agreement, so the church could not recklessly step out.

Of course, it was impossible to keep Ronan still in the current situation, where even taking classes, let alone graduation, was difficult.

“What should I do…”

Normally, I would have asked the emperor for wisdom, but I knew that my father was not in a relaxed situation, so even that was not enough.

The emperor of the time was wielding powerful imperial power based on masters loyal to the imperial family, but the betrayal of the master, the source of that power, caused a greater stir than expected.

In a situation where the emperor could not believe that the master was already his own strength, the nobles who had been unable to breathe properly and were oppressed under the powerful imperial authority began to step out here and there to take care of their own interests.

In the meantime, the church visited not only this place but also the imperial family, and the relationship with the Dwarven Republic was difficultly twisted…

Fortunately, the emperor was a competent human being, so he was controlling and handling all of them somehow, and if he was an ordinary human being, it was a terrible situation that could cause the imperial family to decline permanently.

Azalea felt frustrated as if she was faced with a problem for which there was no answer, and she moved her steps to the place where the horror had been accustomed to.

From nob le mt l. com

Lately, it has become a habit to go there whenever I have some free time.

It wasn’t that there was a grandiose reason to make up my mind remembering the horrors that had occurred there.

Rather, it was because there was a person who seemed to visit that place every day for such a grandiose reason, so I couldn’t let my guard down because I was afraid that that person might decide to do something outrageous there again.

Although there was a suppressor attached next to it that agreed with her, the girl was not relieved that she would be swept away by Ronan in an emergency.

“Saint Ronan, you’re here again.”

“Oh, welcome, princess!”

“Azalea-sama, you can’t go around like that yet. You’re not completely healed.”

An existence that could be said to be another culprit behind all this, and possibly a monster worse than the monster Azalea faced.

Such an existence greeted Azalea with a light smile as if I was harmless. The surroundings were all in ruins, and an abnormally huge tree standing tall among them created a very different atmosphere.

“That Saint Ronan shouldn’t be walking around like this. Don’t you know that if you meet someone from the Orion Church right now, you’ll be in trouble?”

“is that so.”

In spite of Azalea’s worried voice, the other party only responded in a carefree tone, as if he didn’t understand.

Don’t you have any idea how dire the situation is? Azalea now knew that Ronan wasn’t so naive or stupid as to be out of fashion.

Then, since he saved people, does it matter what happens after that? tendency was strong.

But so far, luckily, the situation has only gone well for Ronan.

But this time…

“I may not be able to protect Saint Ronan any longer. I don’t know what to do against the church’s summoning order.”

Azalea, who had approached Ronan’s side, said that with an uneasy expression as if she had lost her way.

If Ronan was really sent to the main office, nothing was certain about what would happen after that. However, vague anxiety filled Azalea’s inner feelings.

Anyway, isn’t it a place where there are unscrupulous people who strangle the saint and leave handprints? At least it didn’t seem like a positive situation would happen.

The person who must have experienced such a thing himself touched Azalea’s cheek in a surprisingly calm manner.

By the time Azalea, startled by the sudden contact, came to her senses, Ronan’s hand was already moving away from Azalea’s eyes, along with a small amount of moisture.

“Why are you so sad?”

“Did you say why now…?”

Why? You, who only thinks of saving people, is in danger of suffering severe suffering even after doing all the good deeds. It’s getting tight, but why are you asking?

“Don’t cry. If Azalea-sama gives up, it’s hard for me too.”

I feel sorry for Ronan, who cares about his feelings even in this situation.

“Are you so worried about me?”

“Are you saying that?”

“Then you don’t have to let me go.”

“How can you say that!”

If that is possible, of course I will. But this is not a problem that can be solved by blindly ignoring the church’s summons and embracing Ronan.

As time goes by, the story that the royal family is restraining Ronan Saint’s recruits will gradually gain strength, and eventually there will be voices saying that the royal family wants to monopolize Ronan’s power.

That story will one day weigh down the entire imperial family holding Ronan in its arms.

And to stop him, you have no choice but to fight with a sword.

Will the saint in front of him accept the situation that causes chaos in the empire and eventually leads to armed struggle?

Seeing Azalea in such grief, Ronan smiled lightly and opened his mouth as if nothing had happened.

“If you can’t blindly reject the will of the Order, why don’t you actually redeem my recruit?”

…?

“Something like a criminal whose charges have not been proven, a prime suspect who needs investigation, or an important reference. Can’t we just say that we can’t hand it over for investigation?”

???

Azalea was confused by such absurd words.

Even in a situation where it was difficult to look ahead, it was a normal appearance of two people, no different from usual.
