Game Mind of a Medieval Modern Person - Chapter 206



Only Noblemtl

206. There is nothing more vain than the promises of those in power who wield their notoriety like a sword.

Even if the other person is a parent who shares the same blood, there is no exception.

Miriam Orne Jubas knew that.

Even though I knew it, I turned away from the reality that was coming.

should.

“Sister Miriam, you must completely break away from your old life. I have already prepared clothes for you. You must leave this place and go somewhere… live as inconspicuously as possible.”

If the Mother Superior, who led the Sisters of St. Ariata, had not spoken out, I would have been reduced to a corpse without a trace.

Miriam was a clever woman.

Much could be inferred from the Mother Superior’s cold face and hard tone.

But even though I had guessed, I couldn’t help but ask cautiously.

“Sister, what are you talking about all of a sudden…? Did I do something wrong?”

“It’s not your fault, Sister. Absolutely not.”

The Mother Superior stared at Miriam, who was demanding an answer, then sighed as she washed her dry face.

“…the bishop has given the order to kill Sister Miriam.”

“What do you mean by bishop?”

“You are the one who claimed to be the guardian of your sister, Enon, and the guardian of that child.”

Miriam, who had lived an unlucky life, had good fortune here.

The Mother Superior who led the Sisters of St. Ariata was not a person who easily succumbed to external pressure.

“But in this place where we serve God, where we serve the stars of humanity, we cannot allow innocent deaths.”

“But… if His Eminence the Bishop really gave such an order…”

“The convent was originally a male-only area. Not only would it be difficult for men to enter, but if the nuns kiss each other and prepare a fake corpse, the bishop will not be able to pressure you. I will make it happen.”

If there are those who are corrupt and fallen, there are also those who live uprightly.

The Mother Superior consoled Miriam, who was devastated by the fact that she had been abandoned, and gave her instructions on how to escape quickly.

“I have received some civilian clothes from a merchant in advance. You must change into the nun’s habit, as it will be noticeable. I have contacted people who are concerned about saving face in advance, in case you encounter a group of thieves or men with evil intentions on the way.”

“S, Sister…”

“I have ignored your suffering until now. You should not be grateful.”

“Enon. What about that child?”

“Sister!”

The Mother Superior shook Miriam roughly and spoke with desperate earnestness as she pleaded with her.

“If Bishop Hu finds out that Sister is alive, that child will also be in danger.”

“…”

“Please run away. If you live quietly… If the Bishop forgets about you… Then I will provide an opportunity.”

Miriam was saved because there was a superior nun who insisted on uprightness even at the risk of confronting the bishop.

Miriam changed into the shabby clothes that the Mother Superior had prepared for her in advance, and put on a pouch containing beef jerky and gold and silver coins at her waist before she realized what was happening.

Narva Orne Stregos Gleio Powis.

The boy who had been allowed to live with generous promises had now grown into a ruthless man of power and was sentenced to death.

“….”

Miriam wept in sorrow.

But soon she left the convent with a confident look on her face, wiping away her tears.

I recall the sight of the head nun desperately trying to persuade me, even though I was half in doubt.

It was soon clear how great a decision the Mother Superior had made.

Dagdak, dagdak-.

The sound of horseshoes pounding on the road in the middle of the night shook the earth.

Miriam hid behind a bush without knowing it, giving her a chance to find out who the owners of the horseshoes were.

A blue cross placed on two outstretched hands.

Recently, it is the symbol of the Ordo Sanctus Illenio, an organization founded by Bishop Narva with the approval of the Holy See.

A dozen riders were spurring their horses, their cloaks emblazoned with the symbol fluttering.

All of them were headed towards the convent of St. Ariata where Miriam was staying.

“…”

Miriam suppressed her tears and moved behind the bushes.

She ran endlessly in the direction the Mother Superior had told her to go, and ran towards those who would take her away.

Soon, Miriam’s figure completely disappeared into the darkness of the night.

The riders heading to the Sisters of St. Ariata all stopped.

That’s why the rider following behind opened his mouth.

“I went.”

These are the ones sent by Bishop Narva.

Narva, with his meticulous and cruel nature, would not send out men so foolish as to fail to find even one trace of a woman running away in the middle of the night.

The riders all turned in the direction where Miriam had disappeared and raised their torches.

“What about the beasts?”

“They ran away. They were startled by our noise.”

There would be no beast that wouldn’t run away when they all run at once carrying torches.

He wouldn’t rush at anyone until at least one woman escaped safely.

The leader of the riders let out a small sigh as he pondered the orders given by the bishop.

“If you’re going to be considerate, you might as well make a fuss about it…”

He pulled back his hood and cooled the beads of sweat that were dripping down his face.

If it weren’t for Bishop Ganista’s words, I really might have killed an innocent person.

***

The head of the Ordo Sanctus Ilenio is Bishop Ganista.

However, it was an open secret that the actual head of the organization was Bishop Narva.

A blue cross held in both hands.

Ordo Sanctus Illenio, which carries the symbol of willingness to dedicate oneself to the full coming of humanity.

The first task assigned to this organization, which was virtually created to take control of the entire Morning Star system, was the death of Miriam Orne Yuvas.

Naturally, the Illeniphut clergy belonging to this organization were not ignorant of political infighting.

Rather, the opposition was even greater because it was clear what Bishop Narva was planning, as he had been fighting against the secular world for a long time.

“It is an act of abandoning both doctrine and faith. No matter how notorious Yubas is, wouldn’t some quick-witted people suspect the intervention of the bishop?”

It is such a cruel and wicked scheme.

However cunning the current Pope may be, the schemes of Bishop Narva were too far gone.

It was only natural that both the monks and priests belonging to the Ordo Sanctus Ilenio would object.

Here Bishop Ileniput, Ganista, adjusted his monocle and let out a deep sigh.

“Of course Your Majesty doesn’t really intend to kill me. But you’re trying to make it seem like I’m dead.”

Bishop Ganista slowly read the letter sent by Bishop Narva with a sigh.

[Is Miriam’s death necessary for the church to accomplish its purpose?]

The content is ruthless.

[I thought it was too much for her, who had lived a difficult life, to suffer an unjust death.]

He had some conscience and consideration.

[Send word to the Sisters of St. Ariata. As soon as possible, in the form of an anonymous letter. The Sisters of St. Ariata will receive separate instructions in two weeks. Focus on encouraging the Mother Superior to help her escape.]

I believed that the church would be upright.

[I will move those who are watching me to believe it is true. Ordo Sanctus Illenio will work with the Mother Superior to estimate the timing of her escape, and to prevent her from being killed by a beast, form a group in advance and have the beasts near the escape route run away.]

With careful planning.

[I can never save Miriam for my own good, but I allow her to live the life of a nameless commoner.]

He had a firm will.

“”…””

Bishop Ganista raised his right hand, looking at the monks and priests who had all fallen silent.

A stigmata obtained by practicing the vow of honesty.

That was to give legitimacy to my remarks.

“Your Majesty, you have planted a sense of alarm throughout the Isles in the morning that you may be subject to a purge, in order to eliminate any room for opposition to your future policies. In particular, you have sought to discourage those who dislike the intervention of the Ordo Sanctus Ilenio.”

“Isn’t that a way to provoke fear and hatred?”

The old monk spoke, and everyone agreed in silence.

Most people want to be loved and respected.

This was especially true for the clergy of the church who preached the benevolence of the stars of the universe that descended for humanity.

Because everyone wants to be considered honorable.

But after the bishopric, Narva was different.

Bishop Ganista adjusted his monocle, then rubbed his eyes and muttered softly.

“So he must have been a lonely king.”

The Lonely King was no ordinary man in many ways.

Although he hated the position of king, he was more self-righteous than anyone else in order to be worthy of the position, and he did not care about public opinion or reputation when it came to protecting the position of king.

It was the same even after he became a bishop.

After Miriam’s death became known to the public on February 5, 1219, Bishop Narva began to be viewed as an untouchable being.

“You wicked Yubas, you are the ones who are taking away the faithful children of the church.”

Narva, as if he had been waiting, aimed his arrow of criticism at Yuvas.

The head of the Yubas family, Bairu Orne Yubas, tried to hide the fact that he had committed the mortal sin of incest, but he felt a sense of crisis when the church secured witnesses and continued to point it out.

So he was willing to commit the great sin of genocide, and the poor, innocent woman Miriam Orne Jubas suddenly died a violent death.

Narva, who had seized the cause, took out the cards he had been saving.

“We cannot entrust worldly power to this wrathful man, so the rightful successor, Enon, should take over immediately, but she is not yet of age and cannot make a proper decision.”

While appealing to the fact that Enon is the rightful successor.

“Although he committed the crime of filicide, I grant temporary regency to Kardal Orn Yuvas, who showed indignation upon learning of his father’s unfilial conduct.”

He drove a wedge into the ground so that his puppet, Kardal Orn Yuvas, could reduce the power of Gaju Byr Orn Yuvas.

Of course, everyone in the world knew that the regency was by no means a sweet fruit.

Yubas was originally suspected of being in collusion with Ise.

In particular, Kardal Orne Yubas is a strong suspect for heresy, suspected of having strong influence on Ise due to his unique eyes.

Narva, who had the absolute power to root out heresy in the Morning Star system, could have been branded a heretic at any time he wanted.

The Ordo Sanctus Ilenio had already been established for that purpose.

Naturally, Kardal Orne Yuvas immediately requested an interview and sent a strong protest.

“Are you kidding me? I’m going to give you the regency that will end with just one word from you? What right do you have?”

But Narva smiled and argued back.

“This is a defensive measure for you who were worried about an invasion from Ise. Don’t you like it?”

“what?”

“The church has not completely abandoned Yubas. If necessary, Yubas can return to humanity at any time. If a full-scale invasion of Ise were to resume, they would immediately embrace him and form a united front…”

A strategy to buy time for the Principality of Powis to make a leap forward.

“Of course, this is not the end of the matter. I intend to permit the practice of this religion only in the ways recommended by the church, excluding human sacrifice.”

“…Are you crazy?”

“Kardal, you will gladly remain as an example to demonstrate that tolerance. Rest assured, I have no reason to fear that I will discard you.”

The notoriety that had been built up was put to use in such instances.

“Unless you are unlucky like Miriam, I will allow you to have minor deviations as long as you contribute to the royal family.”

And the long hunt to find those who were in collusion with Ise, starting with Kardal, was just beginning.
