I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband - Chapter 164
164 – Side story, foreign nobles.
After I quit my job as a low-level priest, I actually became a person of great influence.
He couldn’t help but be like that. When he was a low-level priest, wasn’t he just the husband of a saint with little influence?
However, now he not only has the title of husband of a saint, but also a warrior officially recognized by the church.
Even in this country where the saint’s authority is everything, the existence of a warrior is by no means light.
Why?
Currently, the church is led by a saint and her father-in-law, the Pope, but for about 50 years after the founding of the country, it was under royal authority.
And the first king was King Jin, who worked hard to create a religious nation.
He reigned as the first warrior, the first king, and the last king.
To be exact, the country was established after he died…
It is easy to understand simply as a follow-up concept.
Anyway, because of that past background, the hero has no choice but to be treated well.
Is that why?
Today, as I was resting peacefully in the living room, looking outside, my older sister Stella came up to me with a bright smile and said that something had come up in which I had to participate as a warrior.
“Actually, it’s a bit hard to call it work… Should I call it a party?”
“Party?”
“Actually, there are plans to hold a meeting regarding a city being built in neutral territory.”
“Can you tell me that?”
“Hehe, sir, you have to attend with me too. Isn’t it bad to ask to go together but not tell me what it is?”
Sister Stella smiled brightly and grabbed my arm.
Cute…
At the same time, I love the way he cares about my feelings.
I felt like throwing him down and kissing him on the mouth or cheek, but I held back.
It seemed like there was still a lot left to say.
“So the party is a party held after the meeting?”
“That’s right. You go to a party with your partner.”
“Then of course I have to go. Stella’s partner should not exist other than me.”
You can’t go to Halba with someone else as your partner.
No matter what anyone says, she is my wife.
“So, when is the party going to be held?”
“In another week?”
Well, there’s less time left than I thought.
But are the talks being held in secret?
Usually, when something like that happens, the public knows about it.
I don’t know what it is like in the denominational bureaucracy, but it was like that in Korea.
Meetings with presidents of other countries, things like that.
“It’s not long left. Is there anything I can prepare?”
“No, you just have to come with me that day.”
“Okay, then tell me then.”
“Yes~♬”
I’m not sure, but Stella seems happy.
Why are you so happy when you ask me to do something for granted?
Isn’t it natural to be your wife’s party partner?
It may not be because male supremacy is still the default in this world.
“You know that, right? Some women say that even if something like that happens, their husbands sometimes don’t attend as partners.”
“Really? There are all kinds of people like that.”
“They say you avoid it because you’re embarrassed… I wonder if you’re embarrassed too…”
Sister Stella clinked her index fingers and lowered her face slightly.
It’s as if it’s even more embarrassing to ask such a question.
Is going to a party really that embarrassing?
Personally, I’ve never experienced parties like that often, so I’d like to go out.
I guess I’ve learned some manners so I won’t be ignored.
I gently stroked Stella’s cheek and lifted her up.
When her sparkling eyes caught my eye, I smiled slightly and gently stroked her cheek.
“Don’t worry. I’m not embarrassed about that.”
“West…”
“Ah, but can I bring the guardian priest with me? Otherwise, it might be a little uncomfortable.”
“Of course it’s okay! Up to three people!”
“I guess there are restrictions?”
“If we were to allow everyone to enter, wouldn’t the hall be full? Because nobles bring lots of attendants with them.”
“aha.”
right.
The people who came this way were nobles.
Although there is no caste system in denominational countries, the caste system still exists as a matter of course in foreign countries.
If there are nobles, there are also commoners…
Ah, but I heard there is no such thing as a low class citizen.
In addition, it seems that nobles are people who receive privileges based on duty.
It seems to be a little different from the class system of Western countries on Earth and Korea during the Joseon, Goryeo, and Three Kingdoms periods.
Still, should we say that it is a class system that maintains lines?
In the first place, there is no way they could create a caste system like low-class people when the Church of Korea is waking up.
Privileges are one thing, but you definitely can’t stand people being treated poorly, right?
Suddenly, as I was thinking about that, I suddenly became curious.
How many countries in the world use a caste system?
“Sister, how many countries in this world have a caste system?”
“A caste system? Hmm… I’m sure most people have it except for the Church Bureau…”
“okay…”
Sister Stella smiled a little bitterly.
She probably knows why other countries need a caste system, but she doesn’t want to admit it.
As the head of the largest religion, there would be a strong desire to ban the caste system for people in other countries as well.
However, no matter who sees it, it is interference and intervention.
“Officially, the Church of Christ does not recognize the caste system. However, it understands that the caste system is necessary to maintain the country.”
“Something is difficult.”
“Hehe. Now that I think about it, you said that the class system has almost disappeared in the world you live in, right?”
“It hasn’t been long since it disappeared. At best, it’s only been about 100 years.”
100 years.
It’s long for people, but not that long historically.
***
The northern village where the church headquarters is located.
Basically, the northern village is a place where residential areas are concentrated, so it is always a quiet place, but today, sounds were often heard from outside.
Today is the day Stella mentioned.
A day when foreign nobles come for talks.
From noble mtl dot come
If the nobility is like this, how noisy will it be if the royal family comes later…
In particular, my house, located right below the church headquarters, is very noisy.
Just in case, I should cast a noise-blocking spell and leave.
Because the spirits living in my house are sensitive to sound.
“Perry. Dad will come home.”
“bruise!”
When I finished the inspection and was about to leave, the children followed me.
If you look at it this way, it’s a baby puppy, a baby rabbit, a baby dragon, and a baby red panda.
“It’s convenient and advantageous and we all need to get along and look at the house together?”
“Pfft!”
“Kyaung!”
“Lapis Lazuli too.”
The Red Panda sisters nodded.
These children are still not good at raising their voices, so they don’t speak much.
In the first place, spirits do not talk much because they can communicate telepathically with each other.
Still, it’s so cute to see him trying to make me hear his voice.
After stroking the spirits’ heads one by one, we headed to the church’s headquarters.
It seems that all the priests have been mobilized and are busy moving around.
For your information, Dave is not just next to me as a helper, but he is also working hard to greet nobles.
And that was from 5 days ago.
There’s a shortage of workers, so Dave, a man, can’t just relax and have fun, right?
So today, I am only taking female priests with me.
Little Cain is taking a look at the house.
There are a total of three people in one party, including Etheria, Eri, and Aria.
But can I take Etheria with me?
I’m worried that meeting nobles from my home country might be a bother.
Even though he is a priest now, in Etheria he is royalty from another country.
Well… it’ll be okay, right?
“Father, ma’am, let’s go.”
“But where should I go?”
“It’s over there. I think you can go over there and change.”
Of course, parties have a dress code.
The clothes I will wear have been decided by the church headquarters, so I can just wear them.
I’m so glad I don’t have to buy my own clothes.
If I had to worry about such things, the week might have been very bothersome.
I walked towards where Mr. Eri was leading.
This is where the administrative department I used to work was located, so I keep smiling bitterly, perhaps because I feel nostalgic and nostalgic.
Since it’s no longer a priest’s building, there’s no need to go in.
When I entered the place where the two men led me, there was a locker room.
A large mirror and a hanger with tuxedo-like clothes hanging on it.
“I’ll change by myself, so please wait.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“I don’t have to decline?”
“I’m worried that Etheria is too natural.”
“I?”
It looks like he doesn’t even know what he’s talking about.
It’s just that it’s difficult to change clothes, so maybe I can help you~♬ I guess he said it with the same thought in mind.
Eri is already married to Dave…
This is why I’m worried about whether Etheria will be able to get married in the future.
Should I just live with it for the rest of my life?
Actually, that might be better.
“Anyway, wait outside, okay?”
“If your wife tells you to do it, you should do it. Okay, I’ll wait.”
“okay…”
Still, I listen very well.
