How a Former Pastor Lives in Another World

33

Ophelia Violet (2)

For a noble lady, marriage is an important matter.

The union of families and families, the production of descendants who will carry on the family.

This duty, which has been established as an idea since ancient times, also applies to Ophelia Violet.

However, Ophelia Violet had several major disadvantages in the aristocratic marriage market.

The first is that Violet is the Margrave.

The Earl of Frontier, who protects the border, is a very important position, but on the other hand, he has very little contact with the center.

It is not strange to think that it is rotting away on the border, far from the center of power.

The second is its location on the northern border.

Since ancient times, the North has been a cold and difficult place for industry to develop.

Even if they are trade targets, they are frontier barbarians who will fight each other for a long time. They have good mines and are profitable, but since they are strategic goods such as iron ore, they can only be traded with the royal family.

It’s cold, there are a lot of miners, and if you do something wrong, you’ll never be able to leave the North.

It is not a place that noble ladies or sons-in-law would prefer.

Because of these requirements, Margrave Violet has always arranged marriages with Korean and American families lower than her own.

In other words, the biggest concern of past margraves was how to get their children married and married well. You could say that.

And recently, Ophelia Violet got a new label…

“Did you hear that? Lady Violet.”

“I heard that too. You said you were possessed by the devil? Oh my….”

“Fortunately, I heard that the Church of the Sun performed an exorcism… They say the devil was in there for as long as half a year.”

“Half a year! That’s why the Violet frontier was recently blocked!”

The case of Lady Violet’s demonic possession became a hot topic in social circles.

They each spoke about the unfortunate situation of the Countess, but deep down they were all thinking the same thing.

“”That lady. The in-laws are all gone.””

Even if they have the slightest flaw, nobles are pushed to the bottom of the marriage market.

But the devil was encroaching? Even if you were accused of being a witch, which was popular in the past, you would be labeled as having married off, and demonic possession is even a fact.

“Daughter, it looks like this confrontation will also fail.”

Ralph Violet covered his face at the unilateral cancellation of the match.

“Another useless thing. I don’t like people who don’t like me, right?”

“But shouldn’t you get married? Are you sure you have no intention of getting married?”

“It has to be there.”

“really?”

“I also want to go hunting with my fox-like husband and my toad-like son and daughter.”

Isn’t the analogy a little strange?

Although she is my daughter… indeed.

“Huh, I guess I can’t help it. I have to send a letter to the northern nobles.”

“No, Dad!!”

“A million! My ears!”

Even though she is my daughter, how can she not have that kind of personality?

He hides his mixed feelings as he sees his daughter’s voice becoming louder after becoming a sword expert.

“Not the northern nobles! I’ve been carrying them on my back since they were toddling around!”

“You were seven years old at that time…”

“In the first place, aren’t we all first cousins and second cousins now? Are you telling me to become incestuous relatives now? Dad, I didn’t see it that way and I’m disappointed!”

“Huh… If I look carefully, I guess I’ll find a good partner.”

It wasn’t easy.

It is common for nobles in the same region to marry each other.

However, in the isolated northern part of the country where people are only one or two generations away and are related by marriage, they are almost always classified as close relatives.

In particular, the problem of inbreeding was even more noticeable in the barren northern territories where the territory was large but the nobles were few.

“That’s it! My son-in-law! I’ll bring him!”

“No, where are you?”

“Isn’t it okay to convert to a religious order? Even priests can get married, right?”

“That’s right… I don’t.”

There is no one among the nobles to marry.

Then, just bring a priest!

“I’ve never even thought about anyone other than him anyway.”

“Capricorn! I command you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Go away!! This is Lord Solterra’s sacred land!”

Ophelia remembered the voice of a boy she had never seen.

***

When Ray and his group returned, the Solarion Church was turned upside down.

The revival of Campbell Cathedral and the heretical conspiracy hidden behind it.

The Knights of the Sun were called, but the incident was so terrible that an entire city was devastated.

“First of all, I would like to thank my brothers and sisters for their hard work. They have achieved great things.”

As Archbishop Dunwell continued to praise them, the four people looked very happy.

“Whoa… the recent behavior of the evildoers is unusual.”

The great evil Capricorn attempted to descend by stealing the body of the Margrave’s daughter and plotted to devour the city.

Archbishop Dunwell sensed from his long experience that this was the harbinger of a storm.

But we shouldn’t put an unnecessary burden on these young brothers and sisters.

“There will be a reward from the church government soon. Enjoy your vacation for a while.”

“Yes, thank you.”

The four men, who had been promised compensation and vacation from Archbishop Dunwell, went outside.

“Why, every time we go out, we end up accomplishing something big.”

“······If you think about it, it’s all because you went astray.”

Ray felt unfair.

Oh, you can feel the evil energy in the castle, or the pagans who come to do business in other people’s territory are carrying monsters in their stomachs.

It’s not me who’s bad, it’s the heretics.

“I got rewarded vacation, so what are you all going to do?”

“I guess I should go to the family home. My parents seem to be keeping an eye on this situation as well.”

Aaron’s father was a cardinal and his mother was a paladin of the Knights of the Sun.

Since they are two high-ranking people in the religious world, there is probably a lot to check from their son who has been through the field.

“I’m going to rest for a while. To be honest, I’m mentally exhausted.”

Jenny decided to enjoy her vacation. Since the four people were paid separate vacation expenses, they can empty their fat wallets for the time being.

“Henry what about you?”

“I don’t have anything planned, but I think I’ll just do some training. What about you, brother?”

“I am······.”

“ray!!”

It was then. A unique, cheerful voice heard from far away.

Ophelia Violet was running towards Ray.

“Um… Cheer up.”

Aaron put his hand on Ray’s shoulder.

Jenny also continued the same action.

“Cheer up, little brother Ray. If you’re lucky, you’ll become a noble son-in-law.”

“No, kinda…”

“Brother, fighting! I believe in you, my brother, whose magic can charm even noble ladies!”

“······.”

Ray wished the three people good luck and looked at them with emotion as they left.

Please stay with me…

***

As soon as she arrived in the Church, Ophelia announced her intention to convert to the Church of the Sun.

There was no problem like the entrance exam.

Because she was a noble and, above all, a sword expert.

“You are really taking refuge.”

“Uh huh, I told you to call me Ophelia. In the religious world, weren’t we all brothers and sisters regardless of social status? Or would you like to call me older sister?”

“······.”

I can’t keep up with the tension.

Ray knew from her changed attire that this noble lady had indeed converted to the Church.

A nun’s uniform with side slits that emphasizes the mobility unique to armed organizations and a pure white garter belt.

Ophelia, who was around 170 years old, had good proportions and was showing off her violent body only in a nun’s uniform.

Originally, the religious order’s combat nun uniform had a strict feel, but with that body in the nun uniform, it is not suitable for young people.

“Anyway, Ray. Have you eaten?”

“No, not yet. Lady…has Miss Ophelia eaten?”

“If it was breakfast, I ate it!”

“Breakfast?”

“It’s the meal you eat after breakfast and before lunch.”

“······.”

I don’t think that’s what it means.

“So now let’s go get lunch! My sister will buy it!”

“Anyway, if you are a clergy member of the church, the meal is free.”

“The food is plain and tasteless! And Ray, if you want to grow taller, you have to eat meat, meat. Not eating grass.”

Ray took Ophelia to a private restaurant within the church when she asked him to introduce her to a restaurant.

I took her to a place that was suitable only for her wallet, so I don’t know what the noble lady would think of her.

“Oh! This is a commoner’s restaurant! It smells like it’s covered in untanned leather!”

“Miss Ophelia?”

“Ah, I didn’t really intend to point out Ray’s sense of poverty. Because I know the poor situation of the common people.”

Why? Why can’t I sense any malice when it’s so blatantly mean?

Ray said that it was his first time at a restaurant for the common people, and as Ophelia requested that he order for himself, he ordered the soup he often ate.

Soon the staff brought soup and freshly baked bread.

Potage with oats and fish and rye bread.

This is not a bad diet.

But it didn’t bother Ophelia at all.

“Chef! You should come here!”

“Uh… Sister? Why are you doing that?”

The employee who was about to leave the food and go back tilted his head.

“Are you serving this as food? Do you think Ray will grow taller by eating this kind of grass?!”

“Uh, um…”

“Serve the best food in this place! Meat! It’s meat anyway! Even the bread is white bread, not black bread like this! Freshly baked bread!”

In the end, Ophelia was satisfied when the owner brought out a mountain of meat and bought bread from a nearby bakery.

Can you eat all of that?

The attention of those around her was focused, but that was because they didn’t know Ophelia’s eating habits.

From Campbell to returning to the Church, Ophelia went hunting to get something to eat when it was time to eat.

“It’s a shame there are no wild boars or deer! “Bear meat is tough!”

Thanks to this, Ray ate more meat during his return than he had in his entire life.

“Anyway, Ray. Are you doing well with the exercises I taught you every day?”

“Yes… Well, I do it once in a while.”

“It’s kicker gymnastics, which is our family’s vision. Do it for an hour every day! Why don’t we train together?”

“Please… please.”

Ophelia was a pro when it came to moving her body. Margrave Violet has been training her children strictly for generations, so they can learn the secrets of noble training for free.

There was no reason to refuse.

“Anyway, the religious kingdom is gorgeous. The royal capital won’t be this gorgeous either. The fact that the floor is made of white marble is a bit of a shock! You don’t have to worry about sleet!”

“Is that so? I guess the road is well paved…”

Ofelia moved on to the next story before hearing Ray’s answer.

“That’s right. Do I have to stay inside the Vatican? If not, I think I should just buy a house. Ray, please come in and live there too.”

“Oh, no. That’s a bit…”

“What! Between us! We’re supposed to be under the same roof, and then we can smell the snow, see the forest, and even pick mulberries! But shall we wait until Ray grows a little taller?”

My mind is getting heavier and heavier. The flow of Ophelia’s chattering language continued continuously.

“Ray! What are you doing this weekend?”

“I guess I’ll rest at the dorm.”

“Hmm! You’re asking for it! Instead of just sitting at home glumly, why don’t you go somewhere with me!”

“Uh, yeah…any plans?”

“It’s a date! What else is there besides a date?”

I’m dizzy.

Ray is also the head of the company.

Pastor Kim in his previous life was not a eunuch, but rather was interested in dating.

If I hadn’t been doing exorcism on weekdays, catching werewolves in Milan on weekends, or fighting vampires in New York under a full moon, I would have had three kids.

But what can you do?

I will sacrifice this one body for the lambs of this land.

The fact that Pastor Kim was a soloist from the beginning is ultimately his sacrifice for the world.

Therefore, I thought that in this life, I would fall in love, get married, and have children. However, Lady Ophelia is something that transcends common sense.

‘I understand why Capricorn couldn’t possess me for half a year.’

How can we push away and separate this crazy young lady?

“Whoa… Lady Violet.”

“······.”

“Miss Ophelia.”

“Yes, I say it, Ray.”

Ray met Ofelia’s gaze directly and spoke in a serious voice.

“I know you have favor towards me…”

“Your tone is too stiff. Try to relax a little.”

“Anyway… Miss Ophelia. It’s a bit too easy to talk about marriage, but I think you need to be more careful.”

“is it so?”

It seemed like there would be a loud rebuttal right away, but Ophelia’s reaction was calm.

She shrugged and tore a piece of white bread into pieces and placed it on Ray’s plate.

“Well, let’s find out little by little.”

It looks like he hasn’t given up.

Ray isn’t the type to openly say no to a beautiful woman he likes.

“By the way, Ray, do you have any money saved up?”

“······Nothing, right?”

The reward money should come in, but it won’t be enough to satisfy the daughter of the northern leader’s family.

Even if it is a monthly salary for a priest, it is in fact no different from an activity fee.

“What about home? Do you only live in the dormitory?”

“······Nothing.”

It was Ray who joined the armed organization as a village vicegerent. I came to the religious kingdom to survive, so there is no way I could have any wealth.

“Well, it’s okay.”

Violet grinned at Ray, who looked sullen.

She opened a fan that I don’t know where she got it from and said, ‘Papa-pak!’ It caused wind pressure.

“I have it all.”

So, all you have to do is bring your body.

“······Can I call you sister?”

“Ohhohohohohohohohohoho!!”

It’s steamy. It’s my first time seeing someone smile like that.

That’s a laugh that only a true noble can make.

‘As expected, true nobles are different!’

Cardinal Adlaemi? They were all ordinary people.

“By the way, Ray! I heard that there is something called a party system in the Church of Armed Forces!”

“Ah, the young lady just arrived, so she must be an apprentice.”

“That’s right! So I tried to join the same party as Ray, but I heard it would be difficult in the future.”

“Yes? Why?”

This is the first time.

This is because Ray had not heard anything related to Lady Ophelia.

“They said that Ray, who will soon become an ‘official member,’ and me, the apprentice, cannot form the same party.”

Was there such a system?

Ray had never read the manual properly.

“So, I need to raise my grade. Although it is absurd for me, an advanced sword expert, to start as an apprentice.”

“Raise your grade…”

In fact, it is not easy for members of armed organizations to raise their ranks.

Because Ray’s group had an unusual incident, it was very rare for Ray, who was only a year old, to talk about being an ‘official member’.

“Well, wouldn’t it be okay to raise it slowly? Even if it’s hard to get to the official level, if you have Ophelia’s skills, you’ll be able to quickly level up to the probationary level.”

Ray also wants to quickly accept Ophelia if she wants to join his party.

Isn’t he a sword expert level knight?

I don’t know the strength of the knights of this world, but I remember the strength of Ralph Violet, who was said to be the best.

I was overwhelmed by a man who had been weakened by the whispers of the Great Devil for half a year.

If he had truly intended to kill them, Ray and the others wouldn’t be alive right now.

The strength of the knights who handle Aurors is so powerful.

“You will have to focus on high-stakes missions, but since you are still an apprentice, you won’t have much to do. Let me help you.”

“Good! Ray recommended it to me, so I’m happy to follow it!”

“······.”

Although she is a noble lady with a lot to worry about, it is still important to have motivation.

Without much thought, Ray decided to take on a high-stakes request.

and.

“No, this b*stard, why don’t you listen to what people say? Ahhh!! You are a basic recipient! Do you want to get hit!!!?”

bang!

The iron table that was struck broke in half.
