I was excommunicated from the Holy Knights

10 – Legal transaction with no legal flaws 5

Santana’s property, which he never doubted would become his.

Archbishop Maxim could not accept the fact that all of them had been sold to the Beden Chamber of Commerce in just a week.

‘No matter how much Beden is, there’s no way you can prepare that amount of money in just a week. According to what I know, the cash they have is only about 10%, but how can this be…’

However, in this regard, even after conducting an investigation at the church level and even putting in a petition to the lord, the answer that came back was that there was no legal problem.

Despite Maxim’s best efforts, there was not a penny of Santana’s fortune she could claim.

As a result… After a bloody investigation over the past few days, Archbishop Maxim was finally forced to concede.

It is not known what method was used, but the fact that with this, all of Santana’s property was in the hands of the Beden Merchant.

‘You son of a b*tch… How dare you… dare to f*ck me like this before you leave? Let’s see later, how dare you inflict such humiliation on Archbishop Maxim, a disciple of the Lord. I will definitely get this revenge someday!’

When I think of the efforts I’ve made so far, I’m so resentful and resentful.

However, at this point, it was almost impossible for even the archbishop to find out the whereabouts of Santana, who had left the city.

Now, days after the excommunication had already been finalized and the guys had disappeared, it was highly likely that Santana and Cazeros had already fled beyond her reach.

Even if she tried to track them down, it was already too late, and even if she was lucky enough to locate them, she had no authority to do anything to them in other areas.

At least, if you were in an area within reach of the church, you could use some connections, but if you went to the pagan territory in the east or the heretic territory in the north, then there was really no way.

And crucially… unless Santana was an idiot, there would be no way she would remain in a place where the influence of the church was strong in a situation where she had done such a thing despite being excommunicated.

In the end, even if she really wanted to retaliate, there was no way for her.

It was at that time when the Archbishop was suffering from heartache, burning with meaningless vengeance that had no meaning and no promise.

“The Archbishop! It’s a big deal!”

“Ha.. what is it? What is it that makes such a fuss?”

The priest hurriedly opened the door and entered.

To this, the archbishop replied with a sigh filled with annoyance at this frustrating situation.

But right after that…

The archbishop’s face, which was filled with annoyance at the words that came out of the priest’s mouth, began to harden.

Paladins’ residence

Originally bought by Santana and used by the Paladins for free, this place was caught up in an unexpected situation.

“That… what does that mean?”

“Leave… Where the hell are you asking us to go! This is a holy place where paladins live! How dare merchants and the like come and talk to us like that!”

Paladins Nune and Tine are talking with angry expressions on their faces.

And a number of holy knights standing behind them with worried expressions on their faces.

However, while watching them, the young branch manager of the Beden Merchant Company, accompanied by the escorts, took out a piece of paper in front of them with an arrogant attitude.

“Ibosho paladin is better. It wasn’t too long ago, but as you can see, things are completely different now. The owners of this building are legitimately called We Beden Top. There’s nothing good about wasting time, so you’re telling me to pack your things and leave?”

Unlike normal houses, a place that was originally used as a warehouse was converted into a residence for paladins.

In modern times, it was like living temporarily in a warehouse built on agricultural land.

It didn’t seem like Santana had really meant it, and it didn’t really matter when he was the owner. The story has changed now that the owner of this place has changed to Beden Merchant.

Thus, unlike those who rented and lived in a residential house, the upper class of Beden had the right to issue an immediate eviction order to the Paladins, and it was being implemented without delay.

And for this sudden eviction order, of course, the Paladins were showing strong opposition.

“I can’t! I don’t know what Santa or his bastard did, but are you saying you want to leave this place just for that reason?”

“If it is an ordinary place, this is the sanctuary of the Holy Paladins. It’s not a place that you and the like can touch!”

Nune and Tine reacted harshly with their swords drawn.

At the same time, while watching some paladins who reacted in sympathy, the branch manager laughed at the absurdity.

“Heh heh.. I really am. No matter how much he is a paladin, he would never have known the world. Whatever the castle, this land and buildings are ours now? Can’t we come out like this in a yard with documents like this?”

“What do you know about that? Anyway, this is the residence of our paladins, so if you come even one step closer, I won’t let you go!”

Looking at the paladin who showed no sign of backing down like that, the branch manager automatically began to frown.

“What should I do, manager?”

The captain of the escort asked in a voice filled with determination while holding his hand on the sword sheath about the situation where the other side was not showing any momentum to withdraw.

In response, the branch manager began to ponder for a while before making an immediate decision.

Some degree of backlash was expected, but the Paladins were holding up stronger than expected.

In the worst case, it could even lead to bloodshed if they carelessly touched them.

Of course, even if things were like that, there was little room for problems in the future as the law and justification were on this side. The problem was that the power of the paladin in front of them could never be taken lightly.

Even if there are more numbers on this side, the combat power of each individual is one step higher than the other side.

Excellent swordsmanship, and most of all, as they were Paladins who basically dealt with the divine power of the aura, they were difficult opponents to fight recklessly in many ways.

It was at that time that the branch manager was confronting, putting his judgment on hold for a while.

“Oh no… It looks like the situation is pretty embarrassing.”

“! Ah… miss.”

The next moment, Amalia’s voice was suddenly heard.

At the same time, the branch manager lowered her head and stepped aside slightly, and Amalia slowly stepped forward and looked at the paladins with a dignified expression.

“Kuh..”

“Ugh..”

At the same time, the paladins began to show more agitation than before.

In response, Nune and Tine showed a more withdrawn expression than before, but it was not only because of the woman in front of them.

The reason why they feel more anxious than before.

that..

It was because of a group of troops who had arrived with the lady at this moment and began to completely surround the area.

Looks like an army taken from the lord’s castle, not a merchant’s guard.

With them spread all over the place, Amalia looked at the paladins in front of her in a light tone and said,

“I heard that a crime is being committed here illegally occupying a building. In response, we mobilized the army with the help of the lord, but it seems that these are the criminals in question?”

“Bur..criminal..?”

“Wh… what are you talking about? We’re just trying to protect the sanctuary!”

“Do you mean to blaspheme the warriors of the Lord? Where did you say such a thing..”

The paladins spoke with embarrassment at Amalia’s words.

However, Amalina did not respond to this, just lightly snapping her fingers.

-Clap!-

At the same time, the soldiers’ guns were being loaded with a sharp sound.

The moment she saw it, the paladin’s body began to stiffen as it was, and looking at them like that, Amalia spoke in a firm tone.

“The lord has ordered that if you resist or cause a disturbance any further than this, you will be arrested immediately according to the law. I would be grateful if you kindly cooperate.”

“Kuh…”

Amalia’s voice was so resolute.

Hearing this, Nune and Tine, who had shown signs of devoting their lives to defend this place just a moment ago, felt that they had no chance of winning and immediately took up their weapons faster than anyone else.

The loudest, their fastest giving up.

As a result, the other paladins also quickly began to lose their motivation, and in the end, they had no choice but to leave the house with their weapons calmly lowered.

“Damn… how did we do this…”

“Now what? I don’t have anywhere to sleep tonight right now…”

“… I can’t do it… For now, I have no choice but to take care of myself in the church for a while as I am in a hurry.”

Paladins, including Nune and Tine, who literally sat down on the street overnight.

As they trudged along with their bags packed, the vacancy of Santana, who had already left, began to feel so great in their hearts…

Archbishop Maxim, who had been shouldering the burden in an unexpected part, began to feel the same way.

Although… it’s already too late.
