"It's quiet.."

Most of the high priests had been

summoned, and the temple felt particularly quiet.

Today, I was in charge of cleaning the

hallway of the Great Hall. I swept the temple floor hard to get more promotion points.

Meanwhile, the entrance was a little noisy.

Did even a high-ranking person visit?

Daeshinjeon is often visited by imperial nobles without notice.

It was also noisy because many priests were called when a celebrity came.

Coming to see you on the day of the

competition,

It felt rude. Perhaps it was a shameless nobleman who asserted his authority.

I have to finish my work quickly.

No instructions were given, but I grasped it with my eyes.

If you show yourself cleaning in front of a high-ranking person with a bad personality, you will hear something.

Even the floor was clean. It was my job as an apprentice priest to finish and disappear.

I had packed my cleaning tools and was about to go back.

A person wearing a necklace with blue beads that symbolizes an intermediate priest approached.

"there.. Ah, oh my. You are an apprentice priest"

"yes. This is Apprentice Priest Sonia Tiodor."

"Ah, House Count Tiodor! That's good.

Please welcome guests until the end of the convention."

"A guest?"

"Yes, an imperial nobleman has suddenly come to us saying we need prayer. We will have to serve until the end of the conference, but now the only person who has learned the

etiquette to deal with nobles is Priest Sonia."

Most of the apprentice priests were

commoners, and the high-ranking priests who learned the etiquette were atternding the conference.

I'm well aware of the situation.

In a nutshell, it was to pour tea in the

drawing room until the end of the convention, and to be the talker.

If the nobilty was not treated properly, it might turn into a diplomatic problem.

So now, this is a very big deal.

if you did it right, you could get extra

promotion points.

My goal was to be an intermediate priest, so need to collect points to advance from a regular priest to an intermediate.

You should be promoted as soon as

possible.

In order to leave the castle and entrust a small temple with few people.

When I finished the calculation, I smiled.

"You can't just ignore the lost lamb. I'll take over"

"Fortunately, I survived thanks to Priest Sonia."

The Intermediate Priest ordered another Apprentice Priest nearby to take my cleaning tools.

I went with him to the entrance to the

temple.

At the entrance to the temple stood a huge black carriage, reminiscent of a chariot.

"Pureung!"

The heavy horse tied to the wagon frowned.

It looked like a chariot led by the god of death leading to the underworld.

More intimidating than that was the man standing next to the carriage.

The man with long dark hair up to his waist seemed unwilling to hide his ferocious energy.

"Are you kidding me, putting me up?"

It was a cold voice.

No matter how noble the empire, he could not cause a riot in the castle.

I know, but the high-pressure voice made me nervous.

The intermediate priest stepped forward and apologized.

"sorry. Grand Duke Lundmere. I will direct you to the reception room right away."

'Grand Duke Lundmere?'

Archduke Schwarz Balquier Lundmeer, ruler of the North.

He was the leader of the assassination

corps that ruled the back alleys and was one of the obsessive fanatics in .

'Why did you appear here?'

Had I known it was Schwarz, I would have tried to trick him and ran away.

It was too late to run away from the yard that had already arrived in front of him.

Fortunately, Schwarz was not able to form close relationships with others due to his strong vigilance.

Busy to kick out anyone who approached him, naturally, he almost never met Omega.

Schwarz, who self-isolated himself, was not accustomed to Omegas pheromones.

Even when he ran into Lancelot, who was bleeding from his wounds, there was no reaction.

However, from the moment he recognizes that the smell from Lancelot is a pheromone, not a perfume, he rushes forward and

backwards.

Schwarz looked at the intermediate priest with a gentle gaze.

***

"A drawing room? I should have told you in advance why I had visited the temple."

He put his hand on the scabbard that hung around his waist, perhaps annoyed because we hadn't prepared for the guests in advance.

The metal that fastened the sword to thebwaist and the scabbard colided. An intermediate priest was startled by the sharp metallic sound.

Standing behind the intermediate priest, I also looked at the sword Schwarz was fiddling with.

'You come with a weapon.'

'Did you forget that this is Daeshinjeon?'

I guess he's out of his mind.

If you swing your sword inside the temple, the Empire and the Holy Kingdom might be at war.

Well, he was originally a crazy person.

The other Gwanggongs were pretty decent when they first appeared.

Then they met Lancelot, who had the only omega scent, and went crazy.

But Schwartz is different.

His hobbies are torture, and his specialty is torture.

Before meeting Lancelot, he was a tortilla who cut and stabbed people.

In the original story, he was also the one who killed me.

It's probably Schwarz.

In the original story, Sonia loved Schwarz.

But he killed the woman who loved him just because she was annoying.

It was also brutally in front of her brother.

Schwarz fidgeted with the scabbard and looked at me and the intermediate priest in turn.

where is the prime?

He didn't know where to stab him, and he didn't know if he was going to die in pain for a long time.

'creepy'

Fortunately, I wasn't as likely to like Schwarz as in the original. l'd rather hate it.

"Do you mean to make me wait again?"

It was a gloomy voice.

After reading the original, I clearly

remembered how he reacted when he

recognized Omega's pheromone.

Schwarz, who had met Lancelot a few times as if to pass it by, smelled a strange flower.

But didn't know it smelled like Omega's pheromone.

However, it was only after meeting Lancelot for three days at a small ballroom that I discovered the true nature of reverberation.

After recognizing Omegas pheromone, he knew nothing but dash.

"Come with me, if you refuse, I will cut off your ankle."

He skipped all the intermediate steps and took Lancelot and dragged him to his den.

If he noticed the scent of omega in me, I might have followed the same path as my brother.

Fortunately, he didn't seem to take the

pheromone.

It's not the time yet.

He is not used to scents, so he had to meet them three days in a row to realize it.

Even while was thinking, Schwarz's

expression became increasingly harsh.

At this rate, I didn't know that he would cut down an intermediate priest because he felt bad.

And the next arrow was more likely to point towards me.

He's afraid, but it's not yet the time to react to Omega's pheromones.

It was not a good idea to sit still and die at the same time, so she moved forward, surpassing the intermediate priest.

Then she grabbed the skirt of the priest's uniform and bowed her head in an elegant posture.

"Nice to meet you. Grand Duke Lundmere, my name is Apprentice Priest Sonia Tiodore:"

I was afraid of where the apprentice priest would go and pull out his sword, so I quickly

introduced myself.

Instead of drawing his sword, he glanced at me slowly.

"It's the first time I've heard of Earl Tiodor having a daughter."

"I left the Empire from a young age and brought Magnus from the Holy Land.."

Schwarz stretched out his hand wrapped in black gloves. Then he grabbed the shaky necklace from my neck and pulled it.

I was drawn to him by his strength.

It was hard to breathe as the heavy necklace squeezed my neck.

He gripped the necklace tightly, as if by a leash, and scanned my face thoroughly.

"Indeed, the daughter of Tiodor is a thrifty beauty"

When Schwarz let go of his hand, she finally caught her breath.

Accidents that had stopped due to sudden action continued.

The neck with the necklace pierced was stinging.

'i thought I was going to die.'

The feeling of being squeezed tight like being hanged was not very good.

"Raise your head."

I carefully raised my head. His fierce gaze was fixed on me.

Maybe it was because I read the story that I died at the hands of Schwarz?

His gaze felt like a sword.

Her neatly gathered hands trembled. The pain in my neck got worse.

'Wow, I'm scared.'

In the original story, Sonia tried to be loved by such a fearsome man.

If I could,I wouldn't want to go anywhere near it for the rest of my life.

"Whether it's the Earl Young-ae or whatever, sending only an apprentice priest."

His voice, mixed with ferocious anger,

became even lower.

"ls it the meaning of the Holy Kingdom that we cannot send formal priests to those with dirty blood?"

I seemed to understand why he felt

uncomfortable.

Archduke Lundmeer of Schwarz's Valquier.

He was the illegitimate child of the Emperor and Duchess of Lundmere.

The emperor recognized Schwarz as his child.

The duchess descent was also certain, so he became the Grand Duke with the right to the throne.

The state religion of the Empire was

Magnus. Therefore, in order to be recognized as an imperial citizen, it was necessary to be baptized by the denomination.

However, Seongguk does not recognize illegitimate children.

Schwarz asked for baptism, but the Holy State ignored it.

He personally visited Seongguk and had a history of being treated badly because he was an illegitimate child, and then ran wild.

Thanks to the dispatch of the Holy Knights Commander, it passed without any casualties.

I can't call the manager right now..

Because all the high-ranking priests

gathered in one place, the troops were also concentrated in the conference hall.

Lowranking knights who simply stand guard will not be able to defeat Schwarz.

If he gets angry and draws his sword, an apprentice priest like me will die before Jiwon arrives.

I had to somehow relieve his anger.

'What should I say.'

She looked carefuly at Schwarz's

complexion. She didn't have the courage to look into those bloody eyes, so she set her gaze on his

cheek.

Then I found a wound.
