Several days have passed since Schwarz was sentenced to life imprisonment.

This is because he even attacked the betas at the ball by emitting alpha pheromones.

“Remember. If we collide with the Holy Kingdom's envoys just one more time, we won't let it go.”

Although he was strongly warned by the emperor, he did not stop there and caused a small friction with Cassius at an outdoor party.

Upon receiving the report, the emperor grabbed Schwartz by the back of his neck and sentenced Schwartz to life imprisonment.

“Repent before the delegation returns to the Holy Land!”

He ended up stuck in the mansion for a while, but it didn't matter.

It was nothing more than fooling the eyes of the imperial knight guarding the mansion if he wanted to leave.

Sitting on a long chair, Schwartz closed his eyes.

Sonia, who was smiling in front of him, seemed to form on his retinas.

He was a strange being from the start.

He herself was born as an illegitimate child, and until this time he had been hated. It was because his blood was dirty.

Especially in the case of the priests of the Holy Kingdom, the extent was even more severe.

He was hostile as if he were looking at the garbage that collected all the filth in the world, and was reluctant to even come close.

Only she was different in a world full of his enemies.

Although she was a priest, she did not hate himself.

“God Magnus said that everyone who visited the temple was a lamb in need of a helping hand. What help do you need?”

Dislike and fear were clearly distinguishable. Although she was afraid of himself, he didn't mind.

He did, so he approached, but he couldn't help her reaction, fearing himself.

He had to be feared by everyone in order to survive. That's why he developed strength, accomplished a lot, and naturally, notoriety followed.

'What should I do?'

He know how to throw people away, but he didn't know how to accept them on the contrary.

She gave me her cookie, which she ate well, and she gulped it down to relax her, so I decided to give her something she liked after that.

She also said that her family was precious.

So he saved her little brother from being kidnapped by Shane, and her trembling eyes smiled at himself.

“Thank you for helping Lancelot.”

It wasn't her forced smile as she looked into his own eyes. Her bright smile seemed to come from her heart.

Seeing Sonia's smile gave me a strange feeling.

It was a strange feeling for him for the first time.

'How did I do it?'

It seemed that he laughed along with her, savoring her unfamiliar sensations.

It was the first time.

He smiles face to face with someone.

'I want the delegation to go back soon.'

He could then send Sonia his appointment letter and proceed with her counseling prayer.

What should he carry this time?

Should he take her family, Count Theodosso, whom she likes?

If he go with Lancelot, the emperor will send himself to the holy kingdom with peace of mind.

'no.'

If he go with Lancelot, shouldn't he be splitting her time in two?

He hated sharing Sonia's time with anyone else.

'I'm sure a cookie would be nice.'

When he thinks of her taking and eating the cookie he gave her, he naturally feels better.

All day long he wanted to watch her puffy cheeks move like squirrels.

“Lord!”

A person who interfered with Schwarz, who was soaked in pleasant feelings, came.

It was a black ghost.

"Something."

He was savoring Sonia's smile and he didn't want to be bothered.

He did not hide his displeasure.

“Sorry for taking a break. It seems that something happened to the priest that the lord was watching over.”

Schwartz rose from his seat.

The thin gown that was loosely draped over his body flowed down. He stepped quickly and stood before the black ghost.

“Report immediately.”

Feeling overwhelmingly intimidated, the black ghost swallowed and continued to explain.

That Sonia went to the Sanctuary of Healing with the Paladin and got into an accident there and fell down the pit.

And even the fact that the emperor sent Shane to fix it.

***

There was a huge hole under my feet.

I fell into it without a chance to escape.

'Somehow the cracks on the floor and ceiling looked suspicious!'

I felt like I was about to collapse, but I never thought I would win.

The body that started to fall once gained terrifying speed.

“Priest Sonia!”

Jurgen called out and stretched out his hand, but he was too far away. Unable to hold my hand, Jurgen jumped into his pit without hesitation and hugged me.

He shouted as he hugged me tightly so as not to let go.

“Hold tight!”

I grabbed Jurgen's paladin uniform.

He wrapped his entire body around me and drew his sword with one hand.

Then, to slow down, he stuck his sword into the wall.

Kaga go!

The sword, which was not properly inserted, scratched the wall with a loud thud.

Despite his efforts, he couldn't even center himself and the sword, which had been driven haphazardly, was not a support.

In the end, Jurgen's sword broke in half and together we fell into pitch-black darkness.

Bang soon! collided with the floor.

Surprised, I blinked.

'…… Can you move your limbs?'

I wiggled my limbs. It's a little throbbing, but luckily it moved well. Feeling relieved, she let out a long sigh.

Although it was broken, it wasn't that Jurgen's sword was useless.

Thanks to the reduced speed in the middle, I was fine with Jurgen's protection.

The problem was Jurgen.

He who received me with his whole body lay still, not moving.

I was terrified.

Lying on the floor, he did not move.

He fell from quite a height.

Protecting me, he might have been seriously injured if he had been shocked.

“Sir Jurgen!”

I put both hands on Jurgen's chest and put my ears close. Fortunately, my heart was beating.

I wondered if it would be of little help, so she used her divine power, but strangely, the power didn't gather.

I felt like someone was calling me, so I used a lot of strength, but it wasn't exhausted.

I felt as if something was blocking my strength.

In the end, I had no choice but to shake him awake.

“Sir Jurgen, wake up!”

“…… eww."

“Sir Jurgen!”

“I am not dead. stop…… shake it .My head is ringing and I am dizzy.”

Thankfully, he didn't seem to have a concussion.

“Whew ….”

It was fortunate that he was not seriously injured even though my divine power did not activate. Jurgen opened his mouth.

"By the way."

“…….”

“How long are you going to stay on top of me?”

I looked down.

Perhaps his head hurt, Jurgen touched his forehead and opened his mouth with a slight frown.

“I could have stayed a little longer, but Priest Sonia is holding my lower body down.”

Turns out she was sitting on his thigh.

It was so close that she could feel his tight muscles expanding.

“I’ll get out of the way.”

she hurriedly stood aside.

Jurgen stumbled to his feet and brushed off the soil from his cloak and hem.

And he looked up at the ceiling.

I followed Jurgen and looked up.

The hole through which I fell was floating high in the sky like the moon.

It was quite big, but I saw it here...… .

“I fell from a very high place…….”

Goosebumps rose when I looked at the place that was 20 meters high.

'Did you live even after falling from there?'

If Jurgen hadn't jumped in without hesitation, I might not have been a living person by now.

I confirmed the height of the sky, and I froze.

'How do I go up there again?'

Still, thanks to the light coming in through that place, I was fortunate to be able to grasp the shape, albeit faintly.

Jurgen, who was looking up at me next to me, said in a sullen tone.

“It is high.”

“How do we get back up there?”

“It's easy.”

It was a light tone, as if it was nothing really. It seemed that there was a corner to believe in. Jurgen said confidently.

“I have the divine power of the wind attribute. With my own strength, both of us can go up.”

That's right, Jurgen has the power of the wind!

And he stayed focused.

I stayed quiet so he could focus.

After a while, Jurgen opened his mouth.

“…… What should I do?"

"yes?"

“It seems that the divine power is not activated.”

Wow, Lord Jurgen can't use divine power.

Me too!

The situation was not good for me to agree with his words and act brightly.

It seemed that there was something suppressing the divine power in this basement.

That means, on the contrary, that they cannot help us from above.

In a word, ruined.

A sound came from the hole in the ceiling.

“Ah-! Ah-! Do you hear it? Are you okay?”

The scholar's voice rang out many times like an echo. Jurgen answered loudly.

"It's okay- it's okay. Call— the wind—priest— please.”

After a while, the answer came.

“Down—to—of the wind—messages—are not sent—nidaak!”

Jurgen scratched his head and explained.

“It seems that the divine power is completely blocked in this basement.”

After a while, something fell from the sky, and Jurgen quickly snatched it up.

Inside was a flint to light, along with a pen that could be used as a torch, and a wad of paper.

what is this paper

“I can’t see well because it’s dark.”

“I will light the fire.”

Jurgen rolled the cloth around the fan as he was accustomed to, then took out an iron bottle of oil from his waist and wet it. Then, with a few flicks of flint, he skillfully ignited it.

The one at the top was a note from the person above.

“The basement is connected to the outside world. Send the drawing.”

wisteria: ah Jurgen, welcome to my harem.
