The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 132



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

“Linus, what it takes to become a saint is not how strong your family support is. It’s the determination and execution to see your will through to the end.”

I should have told my son a long time ago, but it was too late as I was in seclusion fighting an illness.

Linus, who had been silently listening to his mother’s teachings with a shameless face, slowly opened his mouth.

“……mother.”

His voice was quite determined. His eyes, which seemed like melted gold, looked at the empress with a unique look.

“Once this matter is concluded, I would like to decide on a crown princess.”

“I’ll do that.”

The Empress’s lips curved into a curve. She intended to respect her son’s wishes, no matter who he brought.

I studied and researched the relevant documents brought to me by the priest in prison in order to reopen the heresy trial that had been suspended a hundred years ago.

First of all, the heresy trial was suddenly stopped because the emperor at the time, like me, had doubts about the power of judgment.

He studied the Goblet of the Sun informally and concluded that it could not detect heresy.

Thus, despite many objections, the heresy trials were banned and have never been held since.

Now that I was convinced that the heresy trial had no discernment whatsoever, I made a plan.

‘I absolutely have to take precautions to make sure the water turns blue. And… … .’

After roughly organizing my thoughts in my head, I closed the document.

And when I turned my head, I saw the chief priest sitting next to me and looking over the documents with me.

“I’m sorry for making you suffer because of me, Raviello.”

Bring Emma instead, and gather information about the heresy trial.

I felt sorry for him for taking on so many annoying tasks.

The chief judge took his eyes off the paper and smiled at me.

“Are you very sorry?”

“Of course. If I do something wrong, Raviello could be punished as well.”

Especially if it was discovered that I had been helping him out like this in prison, the Lord Priest would have suffered a lot of damage.

Of course, it would be different if I succeeded in clearing my treason charges, but for now, neither side was sure what would happen.

The chief priest, who had been staring at me blankly, leaned in closer and made a gentle request.

“If you’re so sorry, call me like you did when I was little.”

Like when you were young?

“… … Brother?”

“Yes, Shailene.”

The judge closed his eyes and smiled brightly, wondering if I had guessed the correct answer.

Ugh, what a beauty that is harmful to the heart.

I was secretly holding my chest and taking deep breaths when he asked me with a grin.

“Have you ever thought about what you would do if the heresy trial failed?”

“No, I didn’t do it because I was afraid that if I thought about the back, I would hesitate when running forward.”

If you act ambiguously, saying, “If I can’t do this, I’ll do that,” when you don’t have time, you might end up missing out on both.

After hearing my answer, the priest lowered his voice to a soft and secretive tone.

“Do you remember the promise we made when we were young? We would run away together to a faraway place and live together.”

“That’s what it was.”

“If, um, the heresy trial fails… … then you’ll do that?”

He hesitated and gently grabbed my fingertips. I opened my eyes wide at the unexpected suggestion and looked up at the priest.

If I lose in court, there’s a high chance I’ll be convicted of treason, so let’s run away together like we promised when we were young…

In fact, it was no different from trying to smuggle out a traitor. I looked closely at the main minister’s face to see if he was sincere.

I felt sincerity from him as he met my gaze calmly without avoiding it.

‘If you really run away with me, you’ll be implicated as an accomplice… … .’

I really appreciate you taking risks for me.

“That can’t be happening. I’m the only one who’s getting away, leaving the rest of the family behind. How can that be?”

I refused because I had no intention of abandoning the Duke of Diat and living alone.

The chief priest, who was staring at me with a mysterious expression, smiled faintly.

“It’s changed a lot since I was young.”

It stung a little. Shailene back then and I now have different souls… … .

“In the past, I used to act lonely and like an orphan and hold onto myself, but now, I don’t feel like I have any regrets about my existence.”

“Huh? That’s not it.”

You don’t regret anything at all! How regrettable it is to be the male lead!

Although his words were a bit harsh, I tried to explain it to him so that he wouldn’t be offended, considering how much he had helped me so far.

“If you run away like that, not only me but you too will be in trouble. I don’t want anything to go wrong because of me.”

“That’s true.”

The chief priest nodded, as if he knew well what punishment he would receive if he took out the traitor.

But soon he came closer to me and smiled faintly.

“But… … I think I’d be okay with anything as long as I had you.”

When you say that with a face like a gift from God, it’s no joke.

I stared at him blankly, then resolutely grabbed his hands.

“I will definitely succeed in the heresy trial so that I don’t get caught.”

That way, I can protect myself, protect the Duke of Diat, and protect the male lead.

I explained my plan to the Lord with great enthusiasm.

After he left, I was left alone in the prison cell, sitting there blankly, thinking.

‘What would Karl be doing now?’

Given the circumstances, he seemed to be the only one who hadn’t been caught, so I was worried if he was in a safe place and if he was doing well.

‘I think I want to see you a little bit… … .’

I hope this whole thing gets resolved quickly and we can go back to our normal lives.

Back then, with Mandy and Carl on either side of me, living happily with the Diat family at the duke’s mansion.

The next day, Raviello went out of the temple instead of the prison for the first time in a long time.

The place his footsteps led him to was Matap. He went there without any notice and asked to meet Chester.

After a while, a wizard with permission from his superiors took him to the office of the Magic Tower Master.

When he went inside, Chester wasn’t the only one there. Raviello’s eyes narrowed as he confirmed who he was.

“I guess our tough knight managed to avoid being arrested?”

Carl didn’t respond, just stared at him. Chester coughed in vain at the strange atmosphere flowing between the two.

“Your Majesty, why did you come to see me?”

“Ah, Shailene, I have a favor to ask.”

Carl was one step faster than Chester in reacting to those words.

“Are you in contact with the owner now?”

“yes.”

“then-.”

“no, I do not want.”

Carl frowned as he received a rude rejection before he could even get a word out.

“Do you know what I’m going to say and say no?”

“It’s obvious. He’ll ask me to contact Shailene or to show him his face.”

“… … Is that not possible?”

Carl, clenching his fists at the exact answer, bowed his head.

Although I had taken a humble stance, Raviello, unlike Chester, was not the type of person to be swayed by such things.

“No way. But I won’t kick you out of here, so feel free to eavesdrop.”

“… … .”

Carl, holding back his emotions, walked to the window.

While he was getting some fresh air and calming down, Raviello told Chester about Shailene’s request.

“Shailene has decided to hold a heresy trial to prove her and the Duke of Diat’s innocence. To do this, she asked the Lord of Matap if he could provide a device that would make the blood turn blue when it touches water.”

“Is there such a thing as a heresy trial in this world?”

“It was discontinued a hundred years ago, but he says he wants to revive it. Can you help, Master Matap?”

“Of course. How long do you need it made?”

“I plan to return to the Imperial Prison and apply for trial the day after tomorrow, so you must give it to me within three days at the latest.”

“All right.”

“Oh, and I also had another favor to ask.”

Chester, listening to the whispered words, nodded, saying that he could do it too.

As the conversation came to a close, Raviello cleaned up his place and stood up.

Carl, who had been keeping his ears wide open, looked back at him. Their gazes met in the air, and Raviello suddenly asked a question.

“Are you just playing around and doing nothing for your master?”

“Is that so?”

Carl replied curtly, crossing his arms and leaning against the window.

“Then I think I can give you some good advice.”

Raviello approached him slowly, smiled, and whispered.

“Your Majesty, the retainer your uncle drove out is living in seclusion in the Lasia Forest in the northwestern part of the empire.”
