Surviving as a Saint in Another World - Surviving as a Saint in Another World chapter 91

Emperor (1)

After the conferment ceremony, I fended off the attention pouring in with a letter shield and locked myself in the room.

Actually, I had already finished the letter after staying up all night, but the princess warned me that at tomorrow’s party I would have to show my face at least for a moment, and that the nobles I contacted there would be unavoidable.

What would I have done without the real letter?

With that thought in mind, I am currently…

“So you’re saying this is the third annex?”

“Yes. The third annex is over there.”

He was contemplating the route of the imperial palace infiltration action.

is this really true

“However, there is nothing to see in the 3rd annex other than the Japanese-style room, so there is nothing to see except for occasional visits by the imperial grandchildren for a change of mood. If your goal is to visit a quiet place, then this 5th annex, where the royal grandchildren will not visit…”

It seems that you don’t know that the emperor as well as the royal family visit from time to time for a change of heart. I have an appointment with the emperor there around midnight.

“How long will you be free to move around in the imperial palace?”

If you think about it, the reason why there are usually movement restrictions at night is for security reasons, so wouldn’t it be okay to wander around the imperial palace with security secured?

“Usually, it’s based on the time when the sun has completely set and the lights start to light. Recently, it’s probably around 7 or 8.”

It can’t be…

After setting the route with great care, I opened the window and looked at the scenery of the imperial palace and did image training diligently.

I wanted to go out in advance and investigate, but I couldn’t help it because it would be a headache if I was caught by a noble passing by.

After dinner, when dusky night spiders began to cover the imperial palace, my heart started pounding.

It’s fortunate that I did it a few times when I was at the academy. If I suddenly tried this here, my heart might have exploded.

Alright, in case you get lost, let’s start with a little more time…

“Holy saint, Princess Azalea has visited. What should I do…? Why are you standing in front of the window?”

Um… that’s it.

“Praying while feeling the night breeze calms my mind.”

“I’m sorry for interrupting your time too. Shall I inform the princess of the situation and send her back?”

“It’s okay. Let me in.”

“All right.”

After… I endured for ten years.

It was an on-the-spot arrest where you couldn’t even take it off if you had put your feet up on the window.

“Saint Ronan, have you finished writing the letter?”

Fortunately, the princess’ business was just a normal greeting.

He would do his best to cover tomorrow, but it was a worrying nagging that he always had, telling him to be strong.

I smiled brightly at the princess’ words and nodded my head eagerly.

“…”

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

At some point, the princess gazes at me without saying a word.

“Something right now, I have a hunch that Saint Ronan is doing something outrageous again…”

Huck. Did the princess open up her super intuition at some point?

However, I feel unfair about this incident. The princess’s father acted recklessly.

“What are you talking about? This is the imperial palace.”

“That’s right… This is the imperial palace where nothing outrageous can happen. Unless by chance Saint Ronan secretly walks around the imperial palace, that won’t happen.”

This princess, it’s not like she really knows everything.

I looked at the princess with my axe eyes open, but the princess was still looking at her surroundings with a worried expression.

“I’ve been through a lot of bizarre things lately, so I guess I’ve become sensitive. Rest in peace, Saint Ronan.”

Fortunately, the princess quietly withdrew without further interference.

Huh, so this time…

“Holy saint, Princess Iris has come to visit. What should I do? Hmm… It may be useless meddling, but aren’t you too close to the window? It’s dangerous.”

Heh heh heh… It sounds dangerous. Mainly my heart.

What day is it today?

It’s the day. The day I received the medal.

“The night breeze blowing in the imperial palace has a special feeling. Oh, could you let me in?”

“All right.”

“Saint Ronan, what happened today has nothing to do with us elves.”

what happened today

“Even for us, the Emperor’s attitude was not agreed upon. We never intended to cooperate with the Empire to embarrass Saint Ronan.”

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Are you talking about this brooch and medal?

That’s just the emperor playing a joke.

From nob le mt l. com

Look at this, when you become president, you have to be careful with jokes. There are people who can’t take jokes as jokes.

“Iris-sama, calm down. I have no doubts about friendship with the elves.

“Is that so? Is that so? Maybe he expressed his discomfort that the elves were trying to capture a human saint.”

Hmm… is that possible?

The emperor has already laughed it off, so who can fault it?

Could it be that they were aiming for that far?

“Don’t worry too much. At least I don’t doubt the good intentions of Iris-sama and the elves.”

“That’s it! Have a good evening!”

The princess, who had become much brighter, said her goodbyes and left.

After the storm passed, I was left exhausted.

It’s strange… I haven’t even started the full-scale infiltration action yet, so why is it so hard…?

“Holy Son, are you sick somewhere?”

Seeing my appearance like that, the maid asked after me with concern.

“Should I call the doctor?”

The person in front of you is the most compatible doctor of all doctors.

“It’s okay. It’s the first time I’ve been through an event like today, so I’m a little tired. I’m going to bed a little earlier, is that okay?”

“I’m sorry I didn’t notice in advance. I’ll make arrangements so you can go to bed right away.”

After the maid said that, I immediately finished getting ready for bed.

And when the maids turned off all the lights in the room and quietly said goodbye and left, perfect silence came to the room.

I really want to sleep like this

When the now-habitual fantasy of blowing off a devil worshiper’s head before bed started to come to my mind, I shook my head lightly and got up.

This time, there was nothing to disturb me.

Just wait for the emperor. I can’t go straight to the infiltration action, reach the 3rd annex, and pick off its head…

It seems that I was too immersed in a certain stealth action assassination game for a moment.

Shaking off my thoughts, I memorized the holy magic to become a righteous thief this time and jumped out of the window.

From nob le mt l. com

Landing on the floor without a sound, I set my direction and started heading towards the third annex.

Certainly because it was the imperial palace, there were a lot of soldiers patrolling here and there, and most of all, there were countless traps using magic or holy magic that were invisible to the naked eye.

Of course, being invisible is the story of normal people, and I am an exception.

I didn’t have to be conscious of the soldiers’ vigilance, and I could see all the various crime prevention measures, so walking around the imperial palace was not as difficult as I thought.

Did you have faith that I would be able to do this much? I am grateful that the emperor appreciates my ability, but honestly, I think I would have been out already if I hadn’t had these eyes.

It’s a very daunting expectation.

As I calmly moved toward the annex, I witnessed a bizarre scene.

“Huh…was there a trap here too? I don’t remember this very well.”

…what the hell are you doing here?

There, the third prince, who had no idea what had happened, was sighing as he got caught in the wall.

No…Could he, like me, infiltrate the imperial palace at night? Did he even get caught in a trap? What’s wrong with a prince?

“Mr. Belfar? What happened to this!”

A masked figure who appeared suspicious to anyone who came this way just in time called out to the prince in an urgent tone.

“Quietly, quietly. It seems that father has been playing pranks on the imperial palace since then. It’s really fortunate that you’re an enterprising person enough to find a prince who doesn’t show up at the meeting place.”

The prince talked casually as if he already knew the masked man.

“Will you take me out first?”

“That…If you touch a trap, the imperial palace will notice…”

“Anyway, everything that happens in the imperial palace cannot but be heard by father.

Isn’t that a little too much for you, caught in a trap, to say that…

The self-conscious prince naturally spoke to his opponent as if he had nothing to hold back even with such an embarrassing appearance.

I think of him every time, but he’s a really great guy.

When the prince said that, the masked man put his hand toward the wall where the prince was stuck, and while the wall became mushy and liquid, the prince naturally escaped the wall.

I wasn’t surprised because I knew that the masked man was a wizard belonging to the Earth Demon Tower.

“Fuuu, I almost got stuck in the dew with the wall until morning.”

It was an overly straightforward line for the prince to risk revealing it to the world after doing useless things in the imperial palace overnight.

Isn’t this really crazy…?

It’s traditional to not associate with madmen, but I couldn’t hide my soaring curiosity.

What is the reason that a prince-like person is doing this late at night?

Possibly conspiring against a traitor?

Still, wouldn’t it be a chance to check your own teeth?

Hang on to something, I’ll bite you right now.

“So, did you find out?”

“Yes. It seems that most of what Saint Ronan said is true. The only part that has not been confirmed is the part where the church officially recognizes the shape that the saint saw as the true shape of Orion, but there are not one or two strange places. “

Ah, what is it? It was the rice cake story I sprinkled.

Disappointed, I wandered around, unable to let go of the lingering lingering feeling that I might gain something.

“First of all, Archbishop Edgar, who served as the leader of this expedition… It is certain that he is the Archbishop, but everything else is unclear.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It is certain that an Archbishop named Edgar existed, and his birth name is clear, but he has not been active at all in recent years. It seems that he has disappeared from the world and then appeared.”

Well, that’s because he’s not the real Edgar. Archbishop Edgar is real?

“I can’t even figure out the behavior of a person like an archbishop, but such a person naturally joined the expedition? I think it’s more credible that you neglected your work.”

“How can I tell the prince a lie that will soon be revealed? Besides, some of our people who were dispatched to find out about Edgar have disappeared without a word.”

Whoops. By now, you’re going to be taken to some dark place, and after your brain is cleansed through brainwashing, you’ll be blowing everything you know and don’t know?

Do those low-end guys even know that the person who gave the order was the prince?

It’s unlikely, but I’d like to know.

Then, you know, the prince and the church would quarrel again.

“It seems there are a lot more secrets in the Church than we thought.”

Have you just reached that point?

Sensing that I have a long way to go, I shook my head.

well, it’s not bad though

It would be best for the prince to confront the cult on his own because of the rice cakes I sprinkled, and even if that wasn’t the case, there’s nothing wrong with being so preoccupied.

Keep working hard!

“Ronan… Saint Ronan. As expected, the key to all situations seems to be held by our coveted younger brother.”

I would like you to take it off. I would like you to call me from time to time only when you are holding your hair.

I moved my steps again, leaving behind the prince who was in trouble with a rather serious face.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t interested in whether or not there was a story behind the conversation the prince was having, but most of it was going to be something I knew, so I couldn’t miss the conversation with the emperor just because I wanted to listen to it.

Even though I started out leisurely, what if the emperor wants to tease me again and stays until just before midnight and then leaves?

The emperor also captured all the dull atmosphere through the memo, so if he had an idea, he wouldn’t do such a thing, but there is nothing more foolish than predicting the behavior of an eccentric old man (presumably senile) who likes to play pranks.

Better to go first and wait so nothing happens.

I worked hard on my feet and finally arrived at the meeting place, the studio in the 3rd annex.

Inside the studio, beautiful flowers were growing in an orderly fashion, probably because the imperial grandsons were interested in them for a short time.

The princess will love it when she sees it.

I looked around the studio for a while while thinking such useless thoughts.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like the emperor had arrived first.

After, though, if I go to the private first meeting place with the president later, it can create an uncomfortable picture for each other, but it’s fortunate.

With that thought in mind, I sat near the entrance to the studio and smelled the scent of the flowers.

Although they arrived quickly, since they did not know when the emperor would arrive, it was the beginning of an unpredictable wait.

…Are you coming? Surely this isn’t a joke, is it?

Really, if I cheat on you, won’t you stay still? Are you going to mess around at the party tomorrow?

For some reason, I thought that the senile emperor would be able to do that, so in my distraught mind, I plucked a flower next to me and infused it with divine power.

It wasn’t something he did because he had a meaning, it was just an unconscious action out of anxiety.

The flower infused with divine power began to take on a fresh appearance, as if the color of the flower would come out at any moment, along with the strong scent of the flower.

and that moment.

“Yes, Lord Dawes. Now guide the saint here…”

The emperor and the masked man, who covered his entire body with a mask, entered the studio and our eyes met.

Um… Do the people in the imperial family like working with masked people? Shall I get a full body mask?

…

Since I was staring blankly at the flower, I naturally missed the timing to say hello to the emperor, and after that, it was even more difficult to say hello because the emperor as well as the masked man behind me were shocked to see me.

Is it so uncomfortable that I came first? The emperor should have come to the studio first to set the mood, but did I come too soon without notice?

“Good night.”

In the end, what I said was such a clichéd greeting.

Even so, the emperor just stared at me, frozen on the spot.

I’m sorry if you’re surprised like that.

Did I just have to tune in to the emperor’s tune?

“Would you like?”

When I handed over the flower in my hand to express my apology, the emperor who received the flower in a daze stared at it and began to control his emotions.

“I apologize for the rudeness, saint. It’s so… amazing.”

“It’s okay. I think I was lacking in consideration.”

Fortunately, instead of being mean to me, the emperor generously expressed his apology.

From nob le mt l. com

Looks normal now!

“I want to let it go, but I can’t help but ask. How are you here?”

is not it…?

I couldn’t help but tilt my head at the emperor’s absurd words.

How are you here? You asked me to be here by midnight.

Aren’t you here at this hour to see me too?

“Because the emperor called me?”

In the end, the only answer I could give was such a principled statement.

Didn’t you really forget?

Then it was understandable to be so surprised.

Heck, could it be that the letter wasn’t written by the emperor, but rather arbitrarily by someone from the intelligence department?

No, rather than a coincidence, did someone in the intelligence department set me into a trap?

“Heh heh…Yes, I called. I called and the saint is here.”

Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case.

“If the saint had made up his mind, I would have already died.”

isn’t it right?

Which rhythm are you going to match?

I was also confused by the emperor’s incomprehensible attitude.

Why are you doing this to me after you called me!!

No matter how you look at it, senility seemed right.
