NOVEL NEXT chapter 5
5-Castle
A subtle air flowed inside the running carriage.
Although I knew it was me that caused the problem.
It was difficult to hold back the repeated sighs.
“Young, lord, look over there…”
“Laplace, is something wrong with you?”
Alice and Angelica looked at me and were restless.
‘A bad feeling? It’s full and overflowing.’
In the first place, going to the holy kingdom itself was something I hadn’t thought of.
In addition, he was taking Alice to a country that hates beastmen.
And Angelica is the protagonist of the original story.
There was a high possibility of getting caught up in something after going to the Holy Kingdom.
“Ha…”
I thought that sighing itself was not a good habit, so I was trying to restrain myself as much as possible.
But looking at the two women who don’t understand my heart, I let out a sigh.
‘What on earth does this villain like to follow?’
A guy who gets scared by every single thing I do but doesn’t run away.
A guy who chases after his fiancé who abandoned him.
I didn’t understand either of them.
“I’m sorry. Because Obama pushed me…”
Angelica doesn’t seem to be as active as usual.
“No. I got some motion sickness for a while.”
Yes.
What’s wrong with the kid? It must have been the emperor who wanted to use it well by reversing the relationship with me.
“But you came without an escort?”
“I came with you until the Duchy, but I sent it back.”
When I first spoke, Angelica spoke with a bright expression as if she had waited.
“For what reason?”
“Because you know that Laplace will protect you no matter what?”
When she saw Angelica, who was good at making embarrassing sounds, she thought that the main character was not just anyone.
It was understandable that the princes who grew up finely were passed over because they acted innocently with a face like that.
Well, in the original work, it didn’t continue until the end by hitting the iron wall.
‘But why didn’t I connect with anyone?’
I thought it wouldn’t matter as long as the reader’s situation was interesting as long as the development and completion of the characters were good.
However, I felt strange that there was no romance even though it is a novel with a female protagonist in a romance novel.
‘Well, it’s none of my business right now.’
But now I have a three-dimensional nose, so who cares?
Please, Laplace, I just hoped that this madman didn’t mess around in the Holy Land.
“Young, lord, what is that?”
“What the hell…”
As I poked my head out the window and followed Alice, who called me with an excited voice as if she had discovered something strange, exclamation naturally came out.
There was a huge gate comparable to 100m tall with the image of their god drawn on a white background.
“It is the gate of the holy kingdom called the Tears of God. It has been invaded by other countries and demons many times, but it is also the best fortress that has never been broken through.”
Following Angelica’s explanation, I looked closely and saw hundreds of cuts on the wall.
‘Seeing this in real life is amazing…’
The original work had a completely different sense of intimidation than I had imagined, having only read novels.
“By the way, Laplace, didn’t you visit the Holy Kingdom last time? You’re surprised like someone seeing it for the first time?”
“Is that so… It’s been a while.”
f*cked.
With this crazy personality, 100% would come and cause some trouble.
Did you send the emperor knowingly and aiming for it?
Seongguk was a place where people who went around the world in the name of pursuing justice gathered.
There was only one reason why other countries did not impose sanctions.
It was because there was no lie in the fact that they performed miracles of the gods.
‘If intertwined, it will inevitably turn into a nuisance.’
I thought it would be nice to pass without incident, and got off the carriage according to the word that there was an inspection.
“You!?”
“Besieged!”
“It’s Laplace!”
Then the gatekeepers began to point their spears at me.
“Young, lord?”
“Laplace… What the hell…”
Two women stare at me, saying that this guy must have done something.
When I had no idea how to deal with this situation again.
Ttogak-.
Ttogak-.
The sound of shoes began to be heard.
‘That’s…’
Saint Lucia of the Holy Land, wearing a robe over a spotless pure white nun’s uniform.
The figure shown in the original work is truly a saint.
She thought it was natural for her to sacrifice herself for justice, and she was a person who was willing to give up what she was wearing for the sake of the naked.
Angelica also respected her and showed her good camaraderie.
I didn’t quite anticipate why she was coming towards me.
Well…If it was the Duke of the Empire, it could be seen as a somewhat high position.
For that reason, she thought that the saintess would personally meet her.
Pair!
“Crazy.”
But Lucia made her trashy look and she slapped me on the cheek.
“What kind of action is this for a duke of the Empire?”
Let’s stand here not understanding what the hell this situation is.
After Angelica took a few deep breaths, she pushed me and stood in front of Lucia.
“Meet the Imperial Princess.”
On the contrary, for Angelica, she greeted according to her manners.
“Ha…”
She felt a fishy taste on her lips, and when she wiped it off with her hand, her hands were stained with blood.
‘The taste of the hand is disgustingly spicy.’
From the perspective of a saintess. It was clear that he had done something the other day when he visited the Holy Kingdom.
That was also about the saintess.
“What is this?”
“I hear a dog barking somewhere.”
“That’s rude.”
As I ignored my words and pulled her by the arm as she tried to pass by, the soldiers around her appeared on the verge of rushing at me at any moment.
“What the hell did I do?”
“To come back shamelessly after committing such a thing…”
‘No…What is that?’
“How dare you… Say that you forgot about trespassing on a woman’s quarters?”
As soon as she answered, Lucia’s face turned red in shame.
A lot of strange rumors were circulating about Laplace.
Among them, there were several rumors about female relationships, so I did an investigation, but they all came out as lies.
She thought there would be no problem since she was a guy who hadn’t bought a slave.
But all of a sudden, they broke into the saintess’ bed without permission.
It wouldn’t be strange if he was sentenced to death on the spot.
“Let go now.”
“If you want.”
I brushed her hand as roughly as I could.
“Kyaaak!”
Lucia, who was half lifted by me, fell behind her, losing her balance.
It wasn’t that I was venting my anger.
She wasn’t in a bad mood or anything like being slapped on the cheek, never knowing why.
It was absolutely not that I was angry with the saintess who couldn’t tell whether it was Laplace or me.
**
Laughter resounded in the great auditorium where all the high-ranking people of the Holy Land were gathered.
“Have we not been aware of such talented people?”
The gray-haired man who caused the sound was smiling broadly while holding the neatly trimmed scarf head.
‘Felix Nitocris.’
The pope’s position in the Holy Land was clearly lower than that of the Holy Women.
Because most of them thought of the saint as an agent of God, while the pope was just an official of finances.
However, the 15th Pope Felix changed his mind.
A nerd character who thinks he’s half-killed if he thinks it’s just harming normal people, whether it’s a demon or a human.
In the original work, he was only referred to as a gray-haired man.
‘I thought it was an old gray-haired old man. I didn’t think that he was such a young angel…’
The Pope’s uniform, Sudan, could not stand his body and seemed about to burst.
On top of that, the vertical squinting eyes added a strange sense of pressure.
“It was sent from the Empire, not from me.”
“Well, at any rate, isn’t that what the serpent told me to do?”
I felt a sense of discord when they smiled and talked about what they liked.
“Can I call the Emperor of the Empire so easily?”
“Because we’ve known each other for a long time.”
‘You look younger than I thought, but you know the emperor who is over 50?’
“After all, the Pope has turned 50 this year.”
Saint Lucia, standing beside me as if watching over me, opened her mouth.
“Come to think of it, did I hear that you two already know each other?”
“No.”
“Absolutely not!”
Me and her denied that statement at the same time.
“I received such a precious thing, but there is no reward for you.”
“No need.”
Just getting things done quickly and going back was a reward for me.
“Then how about this?”
When Felix tried to propose. Anxiety suddenly overtook me.
Just like when I went to the capital and got caught by the damn emperor.
I started to feel the unique feeling of knowing everything but pretending not to know.
“If she has the beauty of a saint, it is unlikely that she will be pushed by your ladies. How about taking a tour of her castle today, accompanied by her escort?”
The Pope guy.
I didn’t come out as a stupid character.
It just seems like a nerd.
