Another World Warrior Who Uses a Shop - Another World Warrior Who Uses a Shop chapter 136

Innocent sinner’s foolish confession

Hyunjoon only pursed his lips, but finally closed his mouth. Elizabeth silently entered the backyard and greeted the others with a soft smile.

“Hello. My name is Erzebet, who serves Karios.”

“… This is Wilhelmina Lautsharn.”

Priests exist in a separate position from the ranks of commoners, nobles, and royalty. Even the royal family, even the emperor of the empire, could not treat the priest carelessly.

Wilhelmina bowed politely. But his face was cold and expressionless. He is the Inquisitor of Karios. How many people can you face that existence with a smile on your face?

As the others jumped up and stood silently, Elizabeth looked around. But nobody said anything. She sighed with a slightly regretful face, then put her hand on her chest and looked back at Hyeonjun.

Her face brightened dramatically, and a blush rose to her face.

“Brother June, I don’t know how long this has been.”

“…Priest.”

Elizabeth gently held Hyeon-jun’s hand tightly and released her divine power.

“I’ve heard the story. I’m so glad you’re safe.”

“Yes, no problem.”

At that moment, Elizabeth’s expression shook slightly. She looked into Hyunjoon’s eyes. Hyeonjun met his eyes and finally closed them. Her eyes are too clear to face. Elizabeth smiled softly and took Hyeon-jun’s hand.

“Let’s change seats.”

“The Inquisitor.”

At that moment, Wilhelmina’s cold voice rang out.

When Elizabeth turned around, Wilhelmina spoke in a clear voice.

“He has a prior covenant with me.”

Elizabeth smiled softly. But everyone felt a chilling fear running up their spines.

“Sister, I’m sorry.

Lahansen kept breaking out in a cold sweat and feeling sick to his stomach, so he moved his feet to step back even when he leaned against the wall surrounding the backyard.

It’s terrifying.

The Inquisitor of Karios is showing hostility towards an innocent human being.

It was clearly felt by everyone here. Even Wilhelmina hesitated and stepped back.

The most solid proof of God’s existence is slowly pointing a knife at humans.

It is unbelievable and impossible.

“Priest.”

Hyeonjun’s low voice broke the air as if his neck had been thrust into the guillotine. Wilhelmina sighed and withdrew.

“Oh, was I a little rude?”

Despite? It’s not something to be taken lightly!

“Your Highness, would it be okay if I visit you again next time?”

“…….”

At Hyeonjun’s question, Wilhelmina’s lips trembled. But then he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and spoke calmly.

“Inquisitor, if it’s an assassination attempt on Jun Turaion, I have a right to hear.”

“Um…”

Elizabeth covered her mouth with her hand and tilted her head. It might look cute at other times, but now it just felt like a wobbly blade.

“I just wanted to talk with Brother Jun… .”

Elizabeth looked back at Hyeon-jun and closed her eyes. A truly warm and affectionate smile. Hyeonjun felt depressed at that smile.

“Brother, do as you please.”

“I’d love to do that.”

“Huh, I understand.”

Among the people in this place, only Hyeon-jun and Erzebet were having a normal conversation. Neither the princess Wilhelmina, the noble Mana Knight Grace, nor the great Benting lineage Albert dared to speak carelessly.

Hyeonjun approached La Hansen and gently stroked her hair. Lahansen gasped for breath, then finally calmed down and looked up at Hyeonjun with trembling eyes.

“If you’re not feeling well, would you like to go back first?”

“…Ah, no, it’s okay.”

I didn’t have a clue, so I answered in short words in front of everyone, but I had a firm will. Hyunjoon laughed and tousled his hair, placing a hand on his shoulder.

“… How about we talk in my barracks?”

“Yes, I will.”

Elizabeth looked at Hyeon-jun warmly, then answered Wilhelmina’s words and smiled slightly.

Wilhelmina kept her mouth shut and her fingertips trembled. Albert held his hand tightly.

“Mina, calm down.”

Albert whispered in his ear, and Wilhelmina relaxed her hands and rested her head on his chest. He was drenched in sweat before he knew it. Grace carefully examined Elizabeth with her hand on the hilt of the sword. It was unlikely that the interrogator of Karios would attack Wilhelmina, but the atmosphere was too bad for him to let it go.

As Hyeon-Jun put his hand on La Hansen’s shoulder and approached, Wilhelmina looked straight at Hyeon-Jun.

“Follow me.”

Then, holding Albert’s hand, he strode into the barracks. Grace beckoned Gallion, who had approached the barracks, to send her back. It was clear that he had rushed to the scene after hearing that the interrogator had arrived. Gallion quietly withdrew with a white face.

“hmm…….”

Elizabeth covered her mouth with her hand and followed Wilhelmina into the barracks with a thoughtful look on her face. Hyeonjun and Lahansen followed suit and entered.

I set up a seat in the room facing Wilhelmina before. Hyeonjun and Elizabeth sat across from each other, and Wilhelmina sat between them. Lahansen stood behind Hyeon-jun, and Albert stood behind Wilhelmina. Grace stood a little distance between Wilhelmina and Elizabeth.

‘…The atmosphere is ruined.’

Hyunjoon smiled bitterly. A strange current flows between Wilhelmana and Elizabeth. Grace stands quietly, ready to draw her sword at any moment. If you see any sign, it seems like a knife fight will happen right away.

“Since Sister Wilhelmina wants it, let’s quickly settle it and leave this place.”

The air grew heavier at Elizabeth’s soft words. Hyunjoon smiled and nodded. At that moment, the expression completely disappeared from Elizabeth’s face.

“Brother June, please tell me from the moment there was an assassination attempt.”

Everyone except Hyeon-jun flinched at the creepy change. However, only La Hansen was able to carefully examine Elizabeth. It was because I often witnessed such changes through Hyun-joon.

Hyeon-joon thought for a while and then brought up the story. Elizabeth half-opened her eyes and listened in silence.

And when the story of La Hansen came out, the body did not move, and the eyes suddenly turned and looked at him.

Lahansen gulped and tried to stand tall, but his hands kept shaking.

“He is my colleague now.”

“… … Yes, that’s right.”

Again, Elizabeth’s eyes slowly returned to Hyeon-jun. Hyeonjun kept his mouth shut after talking about killing Jerdu and stepping on Benting’s land.

Elizabeth slowly closed and opened her eyes, then looked at La Hansen again.

“La Hansen. Please answer my question.”

“… Yes, yes.”

Elizabeth’s voice was so cold that it was hard to believe that it was a human voice.

Lahansen trembled. The voice didn’t come out well. Hyunjoon turned around and punched him in the chest. La Hansen, who had finally come to his senses, took a deep breath.

“Are you willing to threaten Brother June?”

“Ha, uh, no.”

Elizabeth smiled. The air was released at once, and the tension in the body was drained. When La Hansen stumbled, Hyeon-jun held onto his breastplate.

“Huh, I’m glad.”

“… Isn’t that a problem?”

Wilhelmina struggled to open her mouth.

“Shouldn’t we investigate the background?”

“Um, yes. I see. Brother Lahansen?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Tell me more about it.”

Lahansen gulped and barely opened his mouth. Hyeonjun stood up after he shivered so much, put his hand on his head and put his arm around his shoulder.

“Priest, isn’t the child frightened?”

“Oh, sorry. I got a little excited…”

Elizabeth smiled apologetically. The extreme disparity rather made people more creepy. Still, thanks to Hyeon-jun, La Hansen was able to overcome his fear. He started talking in a slightly trembling voice.

“I was just a servant, so I don’t know the details. The Lucan family gathered their vassals and talked about something, and right after that, two servants, a wizard, and six soldiers, including me, set off from Situban to assassinate Jun. The first assassination failed. When we returned to Situban, Lord Yerdu was sent, and just before we left Askan, Lord Yerdu and 20 soldiers rushed at us.”

“It is true. great. The story is over.”

Elizabeth smiled and rose from her seat.

“… Is this the end?”

“Yes. Ah, I will tell you the story before the lord. It’s not up to me to decide after that.”

To Hyeon-jun’s question, Elizabeth answered with a bright smile. After that, I tried to get out of here as soon as possible.

“for a moment.”

However, Wilhelmina caught such Elizabeth.

“Interrogator, I have a request.”

“yes.”

A strange air flowed again. Elizabeth is showing hostility to Wilhelmina to the point of being bizarre. Wilhelmina isn’t stupid, and there’s no way she doesn’t know that. However, after tapping the table with her fingertips for a while, Wilhelmina opened her mouth.

“I’d like to speak with Jun Turaion.”

“The temple is not involved in politics.”

“It’s not just for me.”

“hmm… .”

Elizabeth looked at Hyeon-jun. Hyunjoon met his eyes and nodded. Elizabeth sat down again with a calm expression on her face.

“You want to talk without lies?”

“Yes. If you lie, let me know.”

“Whoa… Really, I’m only doing it this time.”

Elizabeth sighed. Wilhelmina bowed slightly to her and took off the magic tool that covered her eyes. And I looked at Hyunjoon. Hyeonjun faced it directly. After watching it for a while, Hyeonjun felt a strange sensation.

‘This is the first time I’ve met the princess properly.’

He had looked at Lautsharn’s gold, but never met Wilhelmina’s eyes. When I thought so, I was able to face it calmly. Wilhelmina smiled lightly.

“Jun, tell me your purpose.”

“For what purpose?”

“The purpose of joining the Renovationists. Aren’t you walking on a rope between me and Benting Ball? If you want power, you can grab it right now. But you don’t. Rather, you bring in Turayon and give them what you need. Aren’t you giving it away?”

“yes.”

“To say that he wanted honor, he was listed among the Tureyon who betrayed the aristocracy.”

“you’re right.”

“If you want money, of course you have to take power. Or you have to reach out here and there to grab the line. But I didn’t do that either. Didn’t even me, the strongest line, throw the venting ball?”

“yes.”

“What the hell do you want?”

Hyeonjun looked into Wilhelmina’s eyes. Looking at it like this, it is just the eyes of an ordinary person who emits a mysterious light. Hyunjoon opened his mouth.

“I don’t want anything. I hate power, knighthood, nobility, no nobility that bothers me. I hate the southern kingdoms. I need money, but yes. I hate everything else.”

Wilhelmina looked back at Elizabeth with a stiff face. Elizabeth gave her a slight nod. Wilhelmina’s lips trembled.

“……why?”

“I never wanted power. I didn’t stand here because I wanted to. I just struggled to live.”

“…That, a lot of things… …Didn’t you want power? The fame and honor you’ll get when the civil war ends… For power!”

Wilhelmina jumped up in rage. Golden eyes flashed and glared at Hyeonjun.

“What will be left of me when the civil war is over?”

“…….”

Wilhelmina pursed her lips, but couldn’t say anything. What’s left? All the credit and influence he has accumulated by playing tricks and killing enemies will be used for the territory that Thurrayon will receive. Yes, that was promised from the beginning! Even when dealing with the Marquis and Wilhelmina, Hyeon-jun did not flatter him, and he did not want any benefit. Just put the ball up and pass the prize.

“…Gwi, became a noble…. And fame too!”

“Yes, who would treat me badly with it?”

And, and…

“… The queen’s swordsmanship teacher… … .”

“That’s just fame.”

Wilhelmina felt dizzy. Albert’s hand was carefully placed on her shoulder as she collapsed into the chair.

“It’s not that I don’t want anything at all.”

“Something!”

“With this kid.”

Hyeonjun pointed with his thumb at La Hansen, who stood behind him. Lahansen was stunned and shocked to hear the story.

“I’m giving each mercenary corps a spot. Other than that, I don’t want anything from the southern kingdom. No, rather, I want them to ignore me neatly.”

“What… can’t be! How can humans not covet power…!”

Wilhelmina looked back at Elizabeth. Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and smiled softly.

“Yes, it is true.”

“There’s no way! Tell me! You want power! How could someone who has tasted power want anything other than power…”

Wilhelmina, who had been shouting in anger, slowly shut her mouth. Hyunjoon looked into those eyes and spoke softly.

“Isn’t His Highness also asking for something? Other than power.”

“… … under. okay.”

Wilhelmina quietly took the hand on his shoulder.

“I just want to be free. I don’t want anyone riding on top of me and crushing me.”

“ha ha ha… . Even the emperor can’t do that. Are you thinking of becoming a god?”

“If you need to, you should do that.”

“… … Do you hate me?”

“I don’t hate it.”

“… Ha, yes.”

“Teaching swordsmanship was fun.”

Wilhelmina looked at Elizabeth helplessly. She nodded again this time.

“ha… . yes, that’s good.”

Wilhelmina took Albert’s hand and buried her face in her large palm. Then he took a deep breath and kissed the rough palm of his mouth.

“When I become queen, you are free. I promise.”

“All right.”

“In the meantime, you’ll have to make sure you do what you need to do. Promise me.”

“yes.”

There was an affirmation from the interrogator. Hyun-joon doesn’t want power. Wilhelmina felt the warmth in Albert’s hand, feeling dizzy in her confused head. I only understand now.

“Is that why you’re so arrogant?”

“Somehow it happened. I’ll fix it.”

“No, that’s okay. I don’t have anything to give you, so what are you doing?”

Wilhelmina, who spoke a little gloomy, turned her head and looked at Hyeon-jun. Hyeonjun also looked at her with a melancholy face. Somewhere, somewhere uncomfortable and stuffy. It feels like something is wrong.

“Mina, he has no interest in power.”

“egg….”

“You don’t have to meet for profit.”

“… … What about swordsmanship?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Mina, it’s not like that.”

Albert whispered softly. Then, with his other hand, he gently stroked her hair.

“Jun-gong, if you don’t mind, talk to Mina often besides swordsmanship.”

“… … Sir, aren’t you saying it too openly?”

“What are you hiding now?”

Hyunjoon smiled. Seeing this for sure. He is not a man to be treated like a child. Truly manly nice

“I will do that even if I see the sutra.”

Albert laughed softly at Hyeonjun’s joking words.

“Thank you. …Mina.”

“…hate.”

Wilhelmina buried her face in Albert’s hands and did not look up. Hyeonjun made eye contact with Albert and shrugged his shoulders.

“I will come tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’m sorry.”

Hyeonjun stood up and looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth smiled heartily and stood up. Flowers bloomed in the very face.

“Whoop whoop… . I’m going to go too.”

Elizabeth, who had a rough idea of Hyeon-jun’s situation, was wary of Wilhelmina, who was in power, but it was relieved that it worked out so warmly.

She bowed her head and left the room with a smile like a butterfly looking for flowers in the spring sun. Hyeon-jun also took a bow and left the room holding La Hansen’s shoulder, who was still riding the ice.

Wilhelmina took Albert’s hands and buried her face completely in them. Grace let out a big sigh and clattered out of the room.

Anyway, I’m glad it worked out.

Wilhelmina has lived her entire life at the center of power. Except for Albert, everyone follows her for power. To put it bluntly, she follows Wilhelmina for venting.

However, after being together for a long time, affection developed. If you do well with such Wilhelmina, you might be able to make your first friend. It’s a pretty fun thing.
