I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband - Chapter 183
183 – Part 2, Episode 12, A short break, but new worries.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and stop attacking me. If you just stand still like this, the knights will come soon, right?”
The call bell I had already put in my pocket rang.
It’s because of this that I can work independently without anyone’s escort.
If you press this, nearby knights will come to rescue you within 3 minutes.
At first, my lips pouted because I was given something like a crime prevention buzzer and it wasn’t a child, but I think it’s really useful in this situation.
No, actually, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t call the knights.
There are only two of them anyway.
I don’t know how strong those guys are, but with Jinwang’s memories coming back to life, it’s not a big problem in this situation.
A power I can use right now.
That is a way to strengthen the body by consuming magical power.
Originally, I couldn’t use it, but after I regained my memories, I was able to use it to some extent.
The reason I couldn’t use it was because I didn’t have a sense of using magic to strengthen my body, but during my time as the King of Jin, I used it like eating, so I was able to use it better than using regular magic.
“Or am I going first?”
He held the sword tightly with both hands.
Due to lack of training, the strength in both hands is different, and the standing posture is a bit lacking, but it’s okay.
Stronger physical strength will compensate for both to some extent.
And now, I might be able to achieve about 5% of the speed I had during Jinwang’s heyday.
This is enough to defeat two.
Then, I bent my waist and knees so that I could jump out as quickly as possible and jumped out at the same time.
The guys disguised as knights retreated backwards as if embarrassed by the sword that came out at an unexpected speed and cut into the air.
A sword that has been swung hard dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times.
It is a technique of cutting by lifting the sword from bottom to top.
“Avoid this?”
I thought I cut it down faster than expected.
Or maybe I didn’t dig into it enough and it wasn’t right.
Use it… Anyway, my magic power is already at its limit.
It’s just a pity that magic power is not in a state where it can be stored naturally in the body.
What should I do?
Should I dig deeper here and deal with it?
Or should I take my time?
First of all, we need to find out who was behind it or why he hid in the Jinwang Temple, so we need to catch him.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to catch those two even after the physical enhancement period ends.
“Yes!”
It was then.
The footsteps I had been waiting for had started to come from behind.
The sound of footsteps of at least 10 people.
Such a large number of people are running to protect me.
Fortunately, the crime prevention buzzer seems to have worked properly.
If the knights arrive here, those two… can be caught!
“I’ll catch you all and make you taste the torture that the Church of Jesus is famous for.”
Haven’t I caught a spy before and beaten him up?
I remember he was a prince of some country.
“huh?”
Since they were confident that they would be able to catch them, the two guys suddenly put their swords away and listened.
They looked at each other’s faces to see if they were about to surrender and approached each other with swords, then nodded.
Could it be… Are you trying to kill yourself?
Shouldn’t that be the case?
I can’t help it that it happened like this.
I have to cut off their arms and legs to stop them from thinking like that.
However, the two people started showing reactions I didn’t expect.
He suddenly turned around and started running away.
huh? Suddenly running away?
What is this…
“Yes!!”
“Hey! He just ran away!”
“Understood! Teams 1 and 2, run over there immediately and arrest the beholder!”
The knight commander came running towards me with a very loud voice.
When I pointed with my finger, they started sending their men in that direction quickly.
Do you think you can catch it?
Or maybe they’ve already laid people out there.
*
The knights who rushed over were ultimately unable to catch the beholders.
However, it is said that during the search, a total of six sets of abandoned Templar soldier clothes were found.
It’s all genuine too.
These are items actually used by the Holy Knights of our church.
Maybe that’s why I suddenly had a week-long holiday.
It could be dangerous if I went to work in a situation where the criminal might be inside the church headquarters.
Of course, the same goes for Stella.
Additionally, the number of knights guarding our home was supplemented.
“Still, it’s nice to be able to rest at home…”
Normally, he would be walking around the classroom by now, patting the shoulders of dozing prospective priests.
Tears come out of my mouth when I think of the priests who are working hard, excluding me.
“Master~ Please eat~”
“Is it lunch time already?”
I wondered why saliva was coming out of my mouth, and it turned out that it was because it was time to eat.
No matter how much of a day off you have, you should always eat well.
After loosening my stiff shoulders a bit and yawning, I headed to the kitchen to find Stella, who had already arrived and was sitting down.
Luna is sleeping in her arms.
“Are you here? Were you sleeping?”
“No. I was just yawning while looking at the kids running and playing in the yard.”
For your information, Stella is working hard at home as well.
Because you can do most of the work in the office.
I have nothing to do because I work in the field.
“You’ve been very busy recently. Please rest well for a week.”
“That goes for you too, so why don’t you get some rest?”
“Hehe, I’m fine.”
It seems like you have a lot of work to do even at home.
I had no choice but to nod and lightly pat my head.
From noble mtl dot come
While we were having that conversation, the maids served us a meal.
The meal wasn’t much different from usual, but when I heard that I was eating at home when I was supposed to be working, I started to feel a little excited.
Would you say this is a sense of immorality?
Obviously, it’s time to work, but it feels like I’m skipping it and eating at home.
It reminds me of high school.
I used to just eat ramen as my main meal at the daycare center.
“Then let’s start with dinner.
“Come on, let’s eat.”
Sister Stella laid Luna, who was holding her in her arms, on the small bed next to her.
And so our leisurely lunch for just the two of us began.
“That’s right. Now that I think about it, I heard that the low-ranking priest who will offer alcohol during His Majesty King Jin’s ancestral rite has been decided. Do you know?”
“After hearing that, I went to King Jin’s temple and that’s what happened.”
“I see so~”
I am still keeping various things a secret from Stella.
That I was the True King in my past life, that the seal of chaos is loosening… that I am regaining my power…
I keep my mouth shut because I don’t want to worry for no reason…
As we sit facing each other and eat, my heart starts pounding for no reason.
Is it really okay to remain silent like this without saying anything?
I wonder what will happen if I get caught later and the situation escalates.
I think he’ll be really angry.
“Mr. West.”
“yes?”
I was caught off guard by being called at a moment when I was thinking about various things.
She looked at me intently, picked up the bread, held it out to me, smiled, and slowly opened her mouth.
“You’re hiding something from me.”
“Well…that can’t be right.”
“Indeed~♬”
What, did you notice that I was hiding something?
Or did this b*stard, Vias, tell Stella?
No, that can’t be true.
There is no way Stella would have met a man alone without me.
After that, until the meal was over, Stella didn’t mention anything about me hiding something.
But that only amplified my feelings of whether I should tell the truth.
***
I entered the room where the clock was kept, looked around briefly, and sat down.
This is because it is a quiet place where you can’t hear any sound due to the soundproofing magic, making it the best place to clear your mind.
What I’m thinking about now is how to tell the truth.
No matter what I say, if you think about it from someone else’s perspective, it’s a bit strange, right?
“What should I do…
I can’t ask the great sage Vias to tell me.
However, other than that guy, no one knows about me.
But are you going to hide it any further?
Hiding it any further at a time when she is already suspicious of me is no different from deceiving Stella.
“Or hide things that are difficult to talk about…”
No, it has no meaning at the point of hiding it.
I don’t want to hide it, I just want to be honest about it.
Stella is always worried about me, so hiding it from me so I can’t worry is the same as ignoring her feelings.
“Or I wish the goddess would at least say something…”
What is it? Can’t you give me some rice cake or something like that?
Since we’re friends, he calls me out, drinks tea with me, and tells me he wasn’t like that 3,000 years ago and stuff like that.
Huh?
Are you okay?
“The more I think about it, the more it doesn’t seem that bad…”
Should I ask you a favor before I regain my strength?
Or should I fall asleep right now and go see the goddess?
