I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband - Chapter 189
189 – Part 2 Episode 18, Reseal the Chaos.
The difficult and cumbersome training for prospective priests, which involved a lot of talk and trouble, has finally come to an end.
We were drinking cool drinks and toasting, happy that the first priest training was over, but the faces of the prospective priests who were actually involved were not bright.
Not only that, but there are also people who are a little afraid.
It’s not that I don’t understand that feeling, but it’s still a bit annoying that everyone is so gloomy.
“Should I go and comfort him?”
Eri tried to get up from her seat, saying she needed to comfort her, but Dave, who was next to her, grabbed Eri’s shoulder and shook his head.
Even if we tried to comfort them, in that situation it would be like pouring oil on a fire.
Not everyone who receives preliminary priest training can become a priest.
It wasn’t like that during our reign, but starting from Mr. Eri’s reign, 5% of prospective priests will not become priests in this race as well.
Since 2 out of 50 people cannot become reserve priests, 6 out of 150 people will not be able to become reserve priests this time.
Unfortunately, those who do not become prospective priests must return to their hometown or join the Holy Knights.
If you join the Holy Knights, hell will unfold for a while…
Personally, I highly recommend going back to your hometown and cultivating a field.
Of course, I won’t really say it out loud.
“Now that things have come to this, shall we make a bet on who will fail?”
“Maybe that was a little too much…”
When I brought up the idea of making a somewhat cruel bet, Aria, who was drinking orange juice, laughed bitterly.
In fact, it was a bit ironic because among the prospective priests, Aria was the one who suffered the most from those who had poor posture or bad attitude.
I can’t believe Aria, who suffered the most, reacted like that.
Even though I know very well what a kind-hearted person she is, I felt a little frustrated by her reaction.
“Really? I don’t think so.”
“Yes…”
“Okay, okay.”
Ugh, being a good person, I have to endure it.
I wanted to take down some of them myself, but after seeing Aria, I decided to hold back.
However, the people I have in mind will never be able to work at the church headquarters.
I plan to send it outside somehow.
So you should have done well.
If you thought that you could remain at the church headquarters even after being recognized by me, the husband of a saint from the church and a warrior, you were greatly mistaken.
Our guardian priests are my family.
“Because it’s the last time. They weren’t good enough to become priests anyway…”
“Right…really?”
“But if you say anything, you might be suspected of being involved, so you have to be patient.”
I instantly nodded as I saw her advising me to be careful.
Well… it’s not wrong, but…

Anyway, today is the day of the graduation ceremony.
It’s not something a warrior would do to cause conflict with people they have no business meeting.
Because I’ve lived a long time, it’s time for me to grow up.
If you combine your past life and present life, how old are you…?
“Your Majesty, why are you sighing so much?”
As I was sighing, the Holy Father next to me asked me with concern.
The participation of the Holy Father in the graduation ceremony has become a permanent fixture.
When I was… no.
Did His Holiness the Pope participate in my time as well?
“No… it’s nothing special…”
Isn’t it impossible to say that I was sighing in the face of the reality that I was not worthy of my age?
Now, that’s not something a man with children should say in front of his father-in-law.
However, my father-in-law knows me as a very mature person.
Therefore, it seems that you mistakenly thought that I was naturally thinking soundly.
“Aren’t you worried about Luna’s power?”
“Actually, that’s a bit of a headache, but…”
I can’t say that it’s not true, but it’s not true.
One of the difficulties that is going through my mind right now is the story about Luna.
Luna looks like me and can touch all spirits…
I thought it might have nothing to do with innate strength, but I never thought I would be able to ride it…
Oh, by the way, the Pope is one of the few people who knows that I was a true king in my past life.
After the goddess told Sister Stella, she gave the oracle directly to the Pope.
“Then, are you worried about these new priests?”
“I can’t say there aren’t any. I’m worried that the people who gave my priests a hard time will remain at the church headquarters.”
“Haha, did that happen?”
The Pope smiled slightly and responded as if there was no need to worry.
I wanted to know something, so I listened closely and found out that originally, about 30 people were supposed to receive it at the church headquarters, but because there were not enough people at outside churches or cathedrals, they ended up going there.
“There are villages that are still suffering damage due to heavy rain this time, so I don’t think we will have enough staff to dedicate to the church headquarters.”
“Is that so… Still, it’s a bit disappointing.”
“I think so too. We have to send all the talented young people outside…”
The Pope clicked his tongue and expressed his sincere regret.
Then, at the signal of the priest in charge of the graduation ceremony, he went up to the podium.
Is this a graduation ceremony?
Of course, before that, the names of those who will be excluded from the graduation ceremony will be called.
“There are quite a few riders this time.”
At first, I thought it was the Holy Father who was announcing the list, but it turned out that the priest next to me, Father Subal, had started to unroll the list.
From what I heard, my father-in-law has been with me since he entered the church headquarters as a low-ranking priest.
Is the Pope the motive?
You must be very proud, right?
“Hmm… Before the graduation ceremony for the prospective priests, I will call the names of those with the lowest scores in this class, so please come forward.”
“Spare fuse number 33, spare fuse number 45, spare fuse number 61, spare fuse number 83, spare fuse number 103, spare fuse number 124, spare fuse number 132, spare fuse number 137…..and…. “
Prospective priests were called by number, not by name.
The expressions of the people who were called quickly darkened and they quickly ran forward.
A total of 9 people were called.
It was the priest who suggested to the Pope that he should sing one more song, but the Pope shook his head and asked what he was talking about, so he had no choice but to give up.
Isn’t that priest Subal really the devil?
I never imagined there would be a devil at the church headquarters.
“From now on, the prospective priests who have been called can move following the priests below.”
“Um…we…”
“Are you interested in joining the Holy Knights? Then you can follow the vice-captain of the knights over there.”
Sure enough, the knights were waiting with their arms crossed, smiling brightly.
He seemed to be grinning because he thought there would be new people.
In fact, I spent a month coming to the church headquarters, so how could I return home?
Although it’s very tough, it’s better to join the Holy Knights, which pay more than a priest, and send a little money to your family every month.
Naturally, no one followed the priest.
Instead, he started heading towards the vice-captains who were waiting with their arms folded.
In fact, all nine of them.
“It must be very difficult.”
“Dave, if you want to join the Knights, please let me know.”
“Why don’t you just kill me?”
Sturdy Dave also seems to never want to join the Knights.
I can’t help it because I was traumatized by the few times I trained with the knights before.

Prospective priests wearing white priest uniforms that look like graduation caps worn at graduation.
No, now we should call them official low-ranking priests, not reserve priests.
Unlike before, I am proud to see the low-ranking priests standing in place with their eyes sparkling with joy and excitement.
It’s like a sprout that has just grown…
Ah, but I’m also a low-level priest.
Even though you are a sprout, you are a sprout to everyone else.
“Thank you for your hard work for about a month. Wherever you go, always remember to have the mindset you learned at the church headquarters and act as you want.”
If it’s a good word, it’s a good word.
Since he was not very good with horses, he advised him to act as his heart told him to do, and cheered on the lower-ranking priests as they rode on the carriage.
Then, the lower-level priests of this class got on the carriage while greeting me.
It was a little funny because they were both low-ranking priests.
Not bad.
It feels as if a sect is raising its disciples and letting them down.
“I won’t forget it even when I go to my destination.”
“Thank you for taking care of me until the end.”
“I will work hard to ensure that you are re-ordered to the church headquarters. Your Majesty.”
Additionally, my eyes became slightly moist when I saw the priests talking about their determination and aspirations and pledging to return.
From noble mtl dot come
In particular, it may be because there were some who thought it would be a waste to send them out of the church headquarters because they were hard-working people.
After all, at a time like this, the village was submerged due to heavy rain.
Could this also be due to confusion?
Because I’m taking a break for a month…
I think it’s time to reseal it.
