I’m Going to Destroy this Country

The Holy Empire was turned upside down.

“Did you hear? They say His Holiness the Pope was taken away!”

“What?”

At the unimaginable news, all imperial citizens couldn’t close their mouths. Especially the priests were doubting their ears.

My goodness, who on earth! How could they! To the highest being that no one could touch!

“Is, is it possible? How dare they take away His Holiness the Pope…”

“Stop talking nonsense! He wasn’t taken away! His authority was just suspended!”

“What? That’s even more shocking?”

The priests seemed shocked by the fact that Isaac was behind all this. But what was even more shocking was that the subject of investigation was the Pope, not Isaac.

‘Usually, isn’t it the one who attacked the Pope who gets dragged away…?’

‘If that’s not the case, doesn’t it mean there’s really a problem with His Holiness the Pope…?!’

In fact, the nobles were in an uproar.

“I hear the Gold family is being investigated now.”

“Is that possible? How could they do that to the Gold family?”

“It can’t be helped. Circumstances came out that they sowed discord between the Imperial Family and Sacred Dragons…”

“It’s fortunate if that’s all there is? It seems there was a problem with His Holiness the Pope’s succession even before that incident.”

“What? Succession? What problem?”

“I don’t know. They say that’s actually why things escalated and an investigation began.”

“What is it? Corruption?”

“They say the Pope is fake…”

“What?!”

Only then did the priests seem to understand why the Pope was dragged away.

On the other hand, they also thought Isaac was amazing for being able to drag him away like that.

“Anyway, if there’s a problem with the Pope’s succession itself, this is really going to be a bloodbath.”

“…Oh my god, that’s right. All the priests and nobles directly appointed by the Pope after his succession, policies and projects, they’ll all have problems too.”

“Gasp, then do they all lose their positions? Will everything be nullified?”

“Are you kidding? How many noble families are entangled with the Pope’s family?”

“Because it’s not such an easy matter, everyone’s walking on thin ice now wondering if it’s real or not.”

And in such a situation, nobles with connections to the Pope’s family were naturally in an uproar.

“Your Eminence! Your Eminence!”

“The Red has invaded saying they’ll investigate us!”

“Please tell us what on earth is going on!”

The Papacy was full of nobles following the Gold Cardinal.

In this situation, even the Gold Cardinal can’t help but have a headache. In the end, he shook off the protesting nobles and entered the Pope’s room.

Bang!

Inside were Kina and the Pope.

“I’ve chased away the nobles for now. Kina, you too should refrain from meeting nobles for a while.”

“…”

Kina had complicated feelings.

‘To think Eshua would join hands with the Red of all things.’

The Red faction was threatening to all nobles.

Especially considering their power, they were very formidable, always looking for an opportunity to bring down the powerful tiger that was the Gold, a second-in-command fox.

But of all things, Isaac joined hands with those guys and attacked grandfather?

The Gold Cardinal immediately gave Kina a look at his expression.

“Is this the result of you foolishly following Isaac Eshua around? In the end, he stabbed you with a knife. And you still call him a friend?”

“…!”

“You didn’t even solidify your position as a Saint, and that guy is thinking of striking us down by joining hands with the Imperial Family. He used you.”

Kina pouted instead of answering. But the Gold Cardinal’s gaze became even more fierce.

“You even let your brother, who should become family head, be influenced by you. Is your brother, who goes around saying he’s Isaac Eshua’s fan, really normal?”

“Ugh.”

“If you say one more word about meeting Isaac Eshua, I won’t let it slide. Deal with Isaac Eshua.”

“…”

Soon the Gold Cardinal, who finished his admonishment, looked at the Pope.

“I want to take action, but those Red bastards have many upstart nobles, so they don’t even watch our side.”

The White and Black are also as powerful as the Red.

But.

“At least those guys are of noble bloodline, so they’re refined and docile.”

Of course, the Red also has hundreds of years of history as one of the Five Great Families, but because it’s a place where the family head and members are replaced so often through coups, they look lacking in fundamentals to the Imperial Family and long-standing Pope’s family.

‘How dare such lowly creatures enter the Gold family with their dirty feet.’

Of course, that’s not what’s important right now.

“Is it true?”

“!”

“I need to know what’s true and what’s not to deal with it. Is the fake story true?”

The Pope didn’t hide his displeasure, as if it was absurd.

“Isaac Eshua is talking nonsense.”

“!”

“This position is legitimate. They will never be able to bring me down.”

“Then…”

“However, the Imperial archives are problematic.”

“The Imperial archives…”

“There are records there that they shouldn’t see. They haven’t revived all the librarians yet, but the Blue has revived some of that librarian.”

The Gold Cardinal, who knew well what that meant, gritted his teeth.

“Benjamin Eshua…”

To think that 0th rank trash was hiding such an ability.

Sure enough.

“He’s bothersome. Get rid of him.”

“!”

“Kill him and shatter the librarian he revived. Then the contents inside won’t see the light of day.”

The Pope rarely showed killing intent directly towards someone. It seemed the humiliation at the Imperial Palace hadn’t been erased.

-Revelation? Then Isaac’s decision, who received the Supreme God’s oracle, would be the highest revelation in this country, right?

-Isaac brought that dragon to the Holy Empire. That must be the Supreme God’s will.

How dare a male of the Saintess’s family challenge the highest authority by mentioning the Supreme God in front of him?

At the same time, the Blue family head Elai, who questioned him, is equally detestable.

For a saintly family that couldn’t even catch the Skeleton King. You make the Pope’s family feel humiliated? Know your place.

At that moment, the Gold Cardinal said:

“Even if we want to deal with Benjamin Eshua, the Imperial Family won’t sit still. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they’ve completely become Isaac Eshua’s faction because of this incident. Moreover, Benjamin Eshua doesn’t have anything particularly problematic, so it’s even harder to get rid of…”

“No. Because his daughter is a Saintess, we can easily deal with him.”

“!”

At those words, Kina flinched. He took interest as if it was strange.

‘Saintess…? Why?’

* * *

“Kyaaaah, this is it. This is it! I love it!”

Isaac was in the best mood since entering the Holy Empire. So much so that Shuri was looking at Isaac, who was doing the tourist bus dance, with rotten eyes.

But it didn’t matter.

Isaac’s scheme from the beginning was to completely bind the Pope’s hands and feet.

‘The right to approve imperial succession? That was too weak.’

Isaac, who had planned for this situation from the start, chuckled.

Well, the annoying Gold priests are probably screaming while being dragged away by that perverted psychopath, but who cares.

‘It feels really reliable now that we’re on the same side.’

Well. If there’s a problem…

-Isaac, won’t you come to our family after all?

This crazy bastard. Isaac tore up the letter sent by the Red Cardinal with disgust.

Soon Shuri sighed as if asking if he was done dancing.

“It’s good for us, but are you really okay? After stirring things up this much, the Pope’s family won’t just sit still.”

At those words, Leia, who had been finding the dancing Isaac very cute, showed a red letter.

[If you become our family’s child, the Red faction can protect you.

—Leon Sephet]

Ha. That pervert bastard, he’s really persistent.

But Isaac chuckled as if it didn’t matter.

“I know the Pope’s family bastards won’t sit still. And of course I’m starting this after making preparations.”

“!”

“And since Uncle Benjamin is restoring the librarians, more evidence will come out.”

Isaac laughed as if it was the best.

“The Red bastard gave me the investigative authority, so now it’s just the beginning.”

I’ll grind those Pope’s family bastards to pieces!

At that laugh, Shuri backed away slightly as if disgusted. Somehow his laugh was exactly the same as the Red Cardinal’s.

But it was then.

“Oh? This is a letter for Sister Leia.”

While reading letters that came to Eshua, Shuri discovered one letter.

But that letter is very suspicious.

“What’s this, it’s sent by the Pope?”

A golden envelope, with the Pope’s seal.

But the contents were even more shocking.

“Moreover, it’s a congratulatory letter.”

Usually, envelopes for congratulations and mourning are different. So it was even more strange.

“The Pope’s family sent a congratulatory letter to Eshua? Are they perverts?”

But Leia laughed lightly.

“It’s probably nothing special. Just like usual, sent from the Papacy…”

But Leia’s face rarely turned pale when she saw the contents of the letter.

Both Isaac and Shuri tilted their heads.

“What’s wrong?”

Isaac snatched the letter Leia was holding and read it.

[To Lady Leia Eshua. Sincere congratulations on becoming 9th rank.]

“…This is a letter congratulating her promotion?”

It wasn’t strange.

Usually, congratulatory letters come every time your rank rises. They came for Isaac and Shuri too.

Especially 9th rank was Cardinal level. It’s the birth of a highest-ranking priest, so it wouldn’t be strange for the Papacy to give tremendous hospitality and bow down.

‘Well, Leia was hiding that she was 9th rank.’

Actually, it wasn’t something she could hide for long.

A Saintess has powerful authority close to the Pope. As such, it would be good for the Blue or Isaac if she didn’t hide it.

The only thing that bothered him was…

[As it’s the joyous occasion of a true Saintess being born in the Blue, the Papacy will prepare the enthronement ceremony.]

Isaac smiled detestably looking at that letter. He immediately noticed the Pope’s intention.

‘This is trying to deal with Benjamin by using Leia?’

These bastards.

Who are you trying to pull this trick in front of?

Though he didn’t know well, Isaac had seen in the Saints’ diary.

‘The Saints were pressured by the Pope.’

Even if it wasn’t written in detail, he could tell they were psychologically tormented terribly.

And you send such a letter to Leia?

‘Well, they must find Benjamin bothersome. So they’re indirectly threatening her to manage her father well, or… are they perhaps planning to kill him by giving orders?’

At the same time, they’re planning to break my mental state by dealing with uncle?

Well, if that was their thought, these bastards are quite smart.

‘Benjamin is in charge of Eshua’s finances. If he’s dealt with, it’s very bad for me.’

He’s my precious source of money!

Well, I doubt things will go smoothly according to their plan in a situation where I have my eyes open, but…

‘This is strange.’

Huh, it’s strange.

No, really, without lying, it’s strange.

Isaac was glaring at the letter Leia received.

That’s because…

‘…Why is that?’

Dark red smoke was rising from the letter.

That was the ‘danger warning’ told by the instinct of the origin. The warning of .

So Isaac couldn’t help but find it strange.

‘What? Why is that related to my survival?’

That letter had no connection to himself. That was a letter congratulating Leia’s promotion.

But why? With my life?

And as if answering that question…

Flash flash!

“?!”

Crazy light poured out from the direction of Isaac’s bed. And that was the notification of !

At the stronger light than ever before, Isaac frowned but also cursed.

He couldn’t help it. The place where the light was coming from was Melissa’s diary hidden in the bed. And as if telling him to read Melissa’s diary, the Survival Origin was flashing… Fuck! I’m not reading it!!!

‘Damn it, why is light coming from there of all places!’

Isaac tried hard to ignore it but-

Flash! Flash! Flash!

My eyes are going to go blind, you bastard! Stop…

Flash flash! Flash flash flash flash!!

‘Ah go away! I absolutely won’t read Melissa’s diary of all things…’

Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!Flash flash flash flash flash!

Isaac held his forehead.

I didn’t want to read it but… Damn it!!!
