I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband - Chapter 149
149 – Post processing
It looks like Brother Asut had a pretty serious accident.
It is said that he cut off the heads of the criminals in the attempted assassination of the Pope, who were originally supposed to be arrested.
This is directly from the hands of the families of victims who died while protecting their father-in-law.
To make such a huge decision.
After all, he is our Asut brother.
They say the person is in the right place.
Normally, I might have felt a little scared, but in the sense that I got revenge on my family.
In my mind, Brother Asut’s score has surpassed 100 points.
So, I plan to help Brother Asut to the best of my ability.
From what I heard, Brother Asut and the five hundred other knights who returned after completing their mission were all arrested.
Being trapped in that damp, dark basement.
Stella seems to be in a panic as she doesn’t know what to do, so I guess I’ll have to take her with her.
“Sister, don’t look around and sit down.”
“Well…Still! Onii-sama!”
“It’s okay. Come here.”
I stretched out my arms to Stella, who was about to cry.
She needs a place to lean on now, and no one but me, her husband, can provide that place to lean on.
Stella, shedding tears as she remembered her brother in prison, came into my arms.
By the way, I never thought Stella would cry because of her family.
It’s so cute I’m dying
“Sister, did you tell me?”
“Hibb….yes?”
“This is why older sisters should have power.”
“What is that…ah….”
Didn’t I transfer all authority over the desert city to Stella?
With that, Stella gained cardinal-level authority.
No matter how much a punishment plan for Brother Asut comes up at the Cardinals’ Council, it cannot be punished if Stella votes against it.
In addition, Brother Asut is the commander of the knights, and his subordinates are also knights.
If the punishment is not decided within a week, the prosecution will be suspended due to insufficient evidence and lack of sentencing authority.
This is what I like about the perks of the Knights.
“You understand, right? So let’s just stop and go to the church headquarters.”
“Hyung…..yes….”
Only then did Stella stop crying.
I patted her back and called a maid waiting outside.
***
“Well, I would have done the same!”
“No matter how much that may be, isn’t it true that the knight commander acted almost like a protest?”
When we arrived at the Council of Cardinals, something similar to a war of words was taking place inside.
Even so, it was not an intimidating atmosphere.
However, he was implying that punishment should be certain so that believers and the public would not have distrust in the Knights Templar.
That would be natural.
No matter how much I am on Brother Ashut’s side, Brother Ashut committed a sin.
He should be punished, and he should apologize to the cardinals who issued the order.
However, it does not mean that you have to spend years in prison wasting your time.
When I judged….what about a 30% pay cut for 6 months?
Plus, vacation restrictions are enough.
The cardinals who were fighting hard saw us and politely bowed their heads and greeted us.
Stella also held back somehow and accepted the greetings from the cardinals.
No matter how bad they say about Brother Asut, isn’t he the person who has taken care of him since he was a child?
I wouldn’t have been able to rush in and act like a child, shedding tears.
However, the cardinals who were excited and engaged in gossip for a while
It seems like he couldn’t afford to be considerate of Stella.
Even though Stella sat down and lowered her head, they started bickering about whether or not they should be punished.
I just swallowed my saliva and patted Stella’s back.
ah.
This is why I keep touching the bra hook.
“Sister, are you okay?”
“Yeah…it’s okay.”
“…I don’t think it’s okay?”
There were times when I spoke informally to Stella, but it was extremely rare for Stella to speak informally to me.
Even if it is, is it to the extent of acting like a child when you have a high fever and can’t get out of bed?
I’ve heard it before…
It won’t work.
First of all, I have to stop those old ladies over there.
“Cardinals?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Even if we are talking loudly, my voice seems to be heard.
I smiled bitterly and stroked Stella’s head.
“My sister isn’t feeling well, so could you be quiet for a little bit?”
“I…I see. I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
“……”
Stella didn’t answer anything, but just nodded her head moderately.
It looks like he’s holding it in somehow.

The conference hall immediately began to get crowded.
Normally, cardinals’ meetings involve cardinals, high priests, and senior priests in a rotation format, but for emergency agenda items, all senior priests are allowed to participate.
So all the high-ranking priests were gathered, and all the high priests, including my sister, were also present.
After confirming that everyone was seated, the high priestess stood up.
“It looks like everyone is here. Then, let’s hear your opinions on the urgent agenda.”
“Your Holiness the Pope, I believe that the Commander of the Knights of Ashut is not guilty.”
The one who spoke immediately was the cardinal sitting next to my father-in-law.
By all accounts, he was a Sarim who seemed to have deep experience and was skilled in dealing with the religious order.
“I think so too. Wasn’t it the Council of Cardinals that gave permission to kill?”
First of all, two senior cardinals who opposed the punishment itself came forward first.
It seems that the two of them are seniors who have been in the church longer than my father-in-law.
However, no matter how senior the cardinals are, they are not the junior cardinals who will sit still.
As if to immediately rebuttal, the cardinal sitting next to me spoke up.
“Then the hierarchy of the order will be thrown into disarray. Isn’t the Holy Knights Order the most important thing about hierarchy?”
“That’s right. Not only will this serve as an opportunity for believers and citizens to distrust the Knights Templar, but it may also change the perception of the Order and the Knights Templar in other countries.”
Of course, they are very right.
It can be said that this goes beyond what is justified and is the direction pursued by the denomination.
Hierarchy.
Not only for priests, but also for knights, hierarchy is basic.
That is why the word protest exists, and protest is considered a serious crime.
“However, they are the Knights Templar. If they were punished for killing those who tried to assassinate the Pope while arresting them, who would want to work for the Order?”
“Of course, I think so too! Yes! Of course! But if that were the case, would those who sacrificed their lives to follow the orders of their superiors to the end were fools and followed what was done to them? Wouldn’t they have followed it because it was the natural thing to do?”
“Isn’t the order itself wrong? I think it’s out of the question in the current situation.”
“That’s out of the question! He died because he followed a wrong order, so even if he died, there’s nothing to say about it?”
“Huh…when did I say that!”
The cardinals’ bickering began to escalate.
Apparently, there was an incident in the past that I don’t know about, and it happened in a completely different way from that incident, so it seems that some of the cardinals are left with something similar to trauma.
“Your Holiness the Pope! You must punish them properly this time! If this continues, there will be people who doubt the denomination’s punishment!”
“That’s right, Your Holiness! Didn’t you try to create a country where it’s natural for those who do meritorious work to be rewarded and those who do wrong to be punished? Even if it’s your son, you shouldn’t protect him!”
“These people! Are you saying that they are making a wrong decision by saying that the Holy Father is blood relatives?”
“Don’t you two cardinals feel the need to refrain from speaking?”
That’s right.
The biggest problem now is that Brother Asut is the son of my father-in-law… the Pope.
The Pope does not protect or protect his children, no matter how much they are.
However, the situation is a little different now.
Brother Asut went out with permission to kill, but he completely ruled out arrest, which was his number one goal.
Not only that, but in a religious order that never allows private punishment, the authority to execute was given to the families of the victims who died protecting the Holy Father.
Even if they were knights of the Knights Templar and not civilians, there is no problem.
“Your Holiness! The leader of the Knights of Asut just did his job! 30 years in prison for someone like that!”
“That’s right! If we do that, a catastrophe will occur that the knights might rise up against!”
“stop.”
The conference room, which was noisier than the middle of the 5-day market, suddenly became quiet at the sound of the Pope’s heavy and miserable voice.
That single word contained several meanings.
It means to be quiet and not to fight.
In addition, it contained the meaning that it was enough to stop now.
“Are there any other opinions?”
The Pope asks for another opinion.
Seeing the Pope’s expression, the cardinals who had been arguing just a moment ago bowed their heads without saying anything.
They have awakened.
How passionately they were fighting over something trivial and meaningless.
The Pope has already made up his mind.
Even if it is one’s own blood, the determination to end it for the sake of the church and its country.
I can’t watch it.
Why are older people always so extreme in their thinking?
Can’t you think of a compromise?
“Then…I will come to a conclusion on this matter. Knight Commander Asut will be imprisoned…”
Cardinals bowing their heads in agony.
Stella sits next to her and looks down, tears streaming down her face.
I don’t care what happens to those cardinals, but I couldn’t stand by and watch my Stella cry.
“Wait a minute. If you don’t mind, is it okay if I express my opinion?”
The moment when my father-in-law lifted the conference pole and was about to hit it.
I sat down and raised my hand.
Only then did life return to the Pope’s eyes, which had been frozen, and Stella raised her head.
Anyway, if I don’t step forward, nothing will work out!

Hello readers.
This is author Aria R.
Recently, readers have been asking questions.
‘The porter expelled from the warrior party becomes a dragon knight.’ The question is whether the work has been abandoned.
To get straight to the point, I’m not currently using it.
This is a work that I never plan on throwing away.
From noble mtl dot come
The cover of the work in question has been removed some time ago, and the work of the saint’s husband is about to be completed.
I am thinking about remaking it and submitting it to this 19-Year-Old Contest.
However, it bothers me that many of the people who view my work are minors.
Therefore, I would like to leave a comment to the readers to ask their opinions.
‘The porter expelled from the warrior party becomes a dragon knight.’ Will you remake the work and participate in the contest as a 19-year-old work?
Or should I keep the age of 15 and remake and write the Saint Husband work after it is completed?
Please leave a comment telling us which one you prefer.
And to assure readers who are waiting, I will upload the cover I selected in advance.
I never throw away my work.
I plan on writing it until the end somehow.
I think that throwing away my work is like throwing away my life as an artist.
If you don’t know anything else, I want you to know this one thing.
Well then, I’ll just stop writing.
