I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

251 – Part 2, Episode 79, Church of Hieratic.

It stopped taking effect only 5 hours after Stella’s sister activated the ‘all-out call’ to prepare for an all-out war against the Cultist Bureau.

No, it would be more accurate to say it was resolved.

The reason for calling in arms was to find her husband.

Fortunately, because she found her husband, the ‘summon’ itself was able to be lifted.

“There is no need for all-out war with pseudo-religions.”

Stella, who was leaning on my shoulder, seemed to act as if I was her top priority.

There is no way for a woman to have anything else as her top priority other than her husband, children, and family.

For your information, it is said that it is not that difficult to find the cult leader who tried to kidnap me.

Even if a pseudo-religion is closed, as long as it has the form of a religion, it needs to attract someone and gather people, so it is bound to receive reports.

If it is difficult to see such information, I can just peck away at the stupid kidnapper who kidnapped me.

Stella’s eyes were slightly scary as she said she would find out somehow and make her punished.

Well, what wife wouldn’t be angry if she treated her husband like a stallion and made a plan to squeeze a lot out of him?

“Of course I’m angry! You’re mine!”

She reacts by saying it’s natural since I’m stroking her cheek.

Normally, she doesn’t show that kind of possessiveness, but when something special happens, her possessiveness explodes.

Even in a world where monogamy is natural, is it because it is not uncommon for men to have concubines?

Of course, there is only one reaction I have.

To show that I have no reason or intention to make a concubine, I take Stella to my room and literally eat her delicious food.

It’s best to show it through action.

Stella also really likes that kind of behavior.

It’s cute too…

“mom…”

Aside from that, Luna, who was sleeping in the small bed in the carriage, woke up because of her mother’s loud voice.

“Lu…Luna. Did you wake up?”

My wife, embarrassed, approached the bed and began to caress Luna diligently.

Luna, who was embarrassed by her mother’s loud voice, realized that it was no big deal and slowly fell asleep, and Stella sat next to me with a sigh of relief.

Yes, there is only one person in this world who can receive the hero seed.

If someone tried to take it away, of course I would be angry.

Such anger is only happy from the husband’s perspective.

My hand, which was holding Stella’s hand, gradually went down.

At first it was Stella’s stomach, but then slowly it started to go down to her thighs.

Finally, the hand that went down to her thigh gently touched her crotch.

Pure white skin exposed casually because she wasn’t even wearing stockings.

I lightly stroked it and Stella’s face turned red.

This kind of skinship is the reason we were able to maintain our relationship as a couple.

The attitude of willing to go to war for her husband.

Honestly, I’m so moved that I don’t know how to react.

Should I just attack it as soon as I get home?

But that’s the best way to express love.

***

The next day.

Apparently, the incident in which I was kidnapped was quite serious.

People at the church headquarters were worried that they had been treated very harshly.

It turns out that when a kidnapping incident occurs in this world, it always ends badly.

The people at the church headquarters, who knew how great the Seed of Heroes was, were worried that something even more serious might have happened.

Well… it’s also true that it almost happened.

The fact that they kidnapped me for that purpose sent shivers down my spine, but now that I think about it, I wasn’t particularly desperate and I wasn’t that scared.

However, it may have looked different from other people’s eyes.

No matter how much of a warrior he is, he looks no different from an ordinary person.

It’s not like carrying a sword.

But that doesn’t mean you’re carrying something like great armor or a shield.

Every time people who cared about me spoke to me, I bowed my head and thanked them for their concern, saying that I was able to be released without incident because the knights quickly came to my rescue.

Since these are people who truly care about me, greeting them is a must.

As I walked around with that feeling, it was already lunch time.

Stella was busy with work, so we ate separately and it had been a while since we came to the restaurant.

“Well… if it’s okay with you, please eat this.”

“Huh? Uh…thank you.”

After bringing the food and sitting down at the table, similar female priests continued to give me food in the restaurant.

I used to receive it often, but it’s been a while since I’ve been given something like this, so I’m embarrassed.

Most of them are fruits soaked in sugar and dried, candies that can be easily bought anywhere…

Or it was something like slightly expensive jelly.

Are you telling me to eat something sweet and relieve stress?

When I finished my meal and put it in my pocket with the intention of eating it, Dave sitting in front of me was looking at me with envy.

“I’m jealous, I’m jealous. Someone is a married man with a child, and his popularity is sky-high.”

“What? Anyone would think that you can’t get married and have no children?”

He has a wife and children.

He raised his fork, saying he was jealous of everything.

I pressed the small cherry tomato and put it in my mouth.

I like the cherry tomatoes of this world because they are so different from the ones I eat on Earth.

Wouldn’t most fruits have a slightly higher sugar content than the Earth?

Because the climate itself is a little different from Earth.

“Hey, Elvin. Can I ask you one question?”

“What is it?”

Even while we were eating, Dave’s questions didn’t stop.

Why is this guy so curious?

“No, I don’t really want to ask about being kidnapped anymore?”

“okay?”

Well, then what are you curious about?

“Aside from being kidnapped, a cult is targeting you right now, right?”

“Is that so? The church headquarters will probably be quite busy for a while.”

If nothing else, the denominational bureau does not like pseudo-religion very much.

We may understand and embrace other indigenous religions, but who can understand a pseudo-religion that bewitches, steals, and ravages people?

Only cults understand pseudo-religions.

In that sense, the religious denomination and the cult can be seen as organizations that are absolutely incompatible.

“Then wouldn’t it be better to stay at home and not go out for a while? There’s no particular reason to go to work, right?”

“Hmm…”

If you think about it, there’s nothing wrong with what Dave said.

There may be a traitor who is cooperating with me by setting up a structure inside the church headquarters to kidnap me.

In this situation, is it okay to go to work at the church headquarters casually?

Stella seemed to be worried and dizzy as she went back and forth between conflicting thoughts about whether she would be okay because she was a hero.

“Your Majesty, I also think it would be a good idea for you to take a break for at least a week and see the situation.”

It was the same for not only Dave but also Aria.

Since they can focus on training new recruits, they seem to be in the position of just watching the progress for about a week at home.

What should I do…

Actually, a week goes by quickly, so it’s not a problem if you stay calm.

In a week, the culprit will be identified.

After that, when it’s safe, you can go back to work at the church headquarters.

However, if that happens, it will be quite difficult for the priests who come to work.

Since Eri is already absent, the workload has increased.

“If that’s the case, Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry.”

“Hmm… This is the first time Aria asserts herself so strongly…”

Then there is nothing we can do.

As Dave and Aria said, we can only take a week off.

Isn’t a good person someone who knows how to listen to the opinions of those around him?

Okay, let’s break it this time.

In the past, I had trouble working despite the opinions of two people.

“I can’t help it. I will meet the Pope later and then take a week off.”

“You chose well.”

Seeing Aria relieved and satisfied made me smile bitterly.

***

A small chapel at the church headquarters.

In this dark space where not even a common magic light came in, two people who appeared to be low-level priests and one person who appeared to be a mid-level priest were having a conversation.

Faina intermediate priest.

Aaron, a low-ranking priest.

Kaina low-level priest.

They have different personalities and come from different departments.

However, what connected them was not at the church headquarters but externally.

“It’s a shame. I put a lot of effort into the Hieratic Church.”

“Isn’t it a pseudo-religion created with the intention of using it once and throwing it away? Don’t feel too sorry for it.”

The conversation they were having was a very dangerous one.

To the extent that it can raise suspicions that they, the clergy at the religious headquarters, are in close contact with a pseudo-religion.

“Anyway, the hero this time was quite lucky. He was rescued only 5 hours after being kidnapped.”

“I heard that you were rescued before you even entered the headquarters of the Hieratic Church.

The kidnapped person was released after only 5 hours.

No matter how fast the knights moved, it was an incredibly fast speed that is generally unthinkable.

“Hmm… I guess the hero may have another secret.”

A word that makes the mid-level priest Faina seem suspicious.

I couldn’t understand the meaning just by listening.

“Another secret?”

“Even if it is a peaceful era without evil such as devils or demons, isn’t it difficult to understand that a warrior is not awakening his power?”

As Intermediate Priest Faina said, this hero had many strange aspects in many ways.

Basically, it is common knowledge that heroes are from another world and can hardly use magical power.

Instead, upon awakening, the warrior becomes able to use divine power rather than magical power.

Because sacred power is superior to magical power, anything that can be done with magical power can be easily replicated using divine power.

However, this hero was seen using magical power.

“Is it magic power from a hero?”

“Yes, as a mid-level priest, do you know how much magic power you need when you make a contract with a spirit?”

“Haha… I have no connection with spirits…”

It was the same for everyone here.

They have dark hearts, and if they were hated by spirits, they would be hated, and they couldn’t even imagine a contract.

“That goes for me as well. Nevertheless, I know how much magic power a spirit needs.”

Every morning.

The spirit receives magical power from the contractor.

Anyone born in this world will have no problems because all living things have magical powers.

Even for people with low magical power, only about 30% is taken and about 70% remains.

“But the hero has a contract with more than five spirits. And aren’t two of them Seongsu and Seongyong?”

I am contracting two of the only five Great Spirits in the world.

That alone already requires so much horsepower that the average person can’t handle it.

“Hmm… Now that I think about it, it may or may not be so… But aren’t they the spirits that King Jin, the first warrior, made a contract with?”

“They said that you can consume divine power where magical power is needed, so they may be giving you divine power.”

The lower-level priests are refuting step by step the questions posed by the mid-level priests.

The three people here were not as lacking in intelligence or ability as I thought.

It’s just that I took the wrong path and fell astray.

“And there was nothing strange about the kidnapping incident. I was told that they just boarded the carriage without any suspicion…”

“That might be a trap too.”

“I see… I see… But then there is no bottom or end…”

It’s good to have an attitude of suspicion, but I think it’s too much for an intermediate priest.

Intermediate Priest Aaron and Intermediate Priest Kaina sighed in their hearts and shook their heads.

Of course, all of Faina’s intermediate priest’s suspicions were correct.
