Egret

He could still afford a few days until the instant ceremony, but he set the case a little ahead of schedule. Instead, when he left Lubach, he was not alone.

“Well, you don't have to do this. Teacher."

“No! I must do this. There is no blood, no tears... Hmm, I send you alone to the vast Imperial Palace. Anyway, please don't say anything, Your Majesty. ”

Cole, who was freed from the duties of a teacher because he was on vacation, came to me at my feet after hearing the news of his ease.

Cole was an Imperial spiritist, so he knew how dirty and intense the Imperial Palace was.

Of course, I didn't think that my teacher, Gregory, would be beaten without a mac by Amtu.

However, Cole remembered the teacher's face, which had been bleeding before his eyes in the past.

It was that look that caused me to tremble more than the blood on the floor.

‘I can't give you the same wound. ’

What Cole was worried about was the mental part.

Igrette, known over the years as a sage, was remarkably immature in terms of human relations and psychology, not the knowledge he understood with his head.

There was no star in the wounds inflicted by a man who was stronger than anyone else.

Things changed, but this time Cole decided to keep his master down.

He was an Imperial Spiritmaster and was able to enter the palace with the help of a royal escort.

Judas nods and rolls to Saint Cole's flock, rather than Cole's flock, who wields a strong will.

“In vain, in vain. Trust me. I will protect His Majesty. ”

“ ……. ”

He only sighed a little as he became troubled about how to accept the words of the disciple who looked at seventy.

Judas' outfit was not a uniform, as he was on his way to an instant ceremony. He wore a white robe worthy of the prince's identity.

The costume with the Imperial crest embroidered with gold thread was spacious and lightweight, so it was armpit like a bird's feather even in small movements.

“Then.”

The portal's black door opens.

Judas took the portal with Cole, first to the diocese.

It is because we must be baptized in the sense of sincerely washing our bodies and souls before we come to the Immediate Eucharist.

I didn't contact her beforehand, but the Saint Wigdrasil was waiting at the entrance to the Pope's portal.

Next to her lay the massive guardian dog, Hevnicius.

Hevnicius was so tall that Looney, who materialized as a blue wolf, only looked like a suckling puppy.

When the guardian dog raises his body, the Saint gently greets him.

“You're here. I've been waiting. ”

The blue eyes that lost focus turned to Judas exactly. Judas replied with regard, knowing that he would not be seen.

“It's been a long time. Have you been at peace? ”

“Yes, I was a little reminded of when my friend would be waiting for me. ”

Seeing Wigdrasil smiling at Cook Cook and answering, Cole, who was next to Judas, looked a little surprised.

It was the first time he knew that Saint Wigdrasil, who lived a different life, a different ability, or a different life, called someone 'naked’.

Wigdrasil left the Portal Management Office and took them to the Central Temple.

Situated in the centre of the diocese, the temple was a solemn place so strict that it was forbidden to enter unless it was a high priest.

High ceilings and small candles stretched out along the walls painted the scriptures.

The thorn, which symbolizes suffering and persecution, grows like a red cross wrapped around it.

Just below it was a circular altar where the Pope raised his offering.

Wigdrasil raised his hand to the holiness that was empty before the altar.

Bloop.

The touch burned the sacred white flame. Wigdrasil turns around and opens his mouth.

“Today……. ”

An empty blue eye with no vision looks through the air.

“You must not leave the temple here. You need to wash away when you're buried in the world with the energy of sanctification. That way you can receive a new sunrise tomorrow, a baptism. ”

The imperative rite of purification was the baptism of the imperial prince, who was appointed successor to the Emperor for more than 50 years, a religion of the Lubarzan Empire.

Since it was a baptism for the next sun of the empire, the Pope's office had to do everything in its power to do so.

Sacrifice that burns only with divine power has the effect of washing away the impurities that build up in the body just by being close.

Instead, I had to fix myself overnight with the heat of a twisted sacred painting.

In the morning, you can wash your soul by being baptized with a body full of divine power.

Wigdrasil's explanation ended there.

“Then I'll go up to pray. May the mighty blessing be with you. ”

“Thank you, Wigdrasil. ”

Still a gentle person, the Saint, who heard a warm thank you, laughed without a sound.

She pauses as she moves to the door to leave the temple with Heb's back faithfully guarding her side.

“And.”

“Hmm?”

“There is a guest who came to see you. ”

“ ……. ”

It was an unpleasant story. It was an improvised determination that he visited the Pope's office today.

I was supposed to stop by once before the instant, but nobody predicted if it would be a week after today.

If he had some divine power about the Saint or not, he would have come to the Pope's office in advance and waited endlessly.

Because of this, Judas could easily guess who that guest meant.

When Wigdrasil opened the door of the temple, a small guest hesitated to come to him.

The Saint slightly lowered his head and left the temple.

“Have you been well then? Sage."

“Brother... ”

It was a three-person sage.

To avoid interrupting the conversation between the two emperors, Cole quietly bows his head, standing behind Judas.

Sage stares at Judas with a cautious eye.

The escort who was always following the child was invisible and the costume was the same as it was worn in the Imperial Palace.

Judas, who guessed the situation to some extent just by looking at it, pretended not to know.

“Are you here alone? ”

“... If my mother knew...... she wouldn't allow it. ”

It was as expected.

Sage came to the diocese secretly on the portal without seeking permission from the Empress.

Judas, who heard the answer, said nothing more.

Sage, who had the courage in the clear gold of his half-brother, who never turned away from him despite seeing himself, came to him.

Sage, who was nine years old, was clearly taller and smaller than Judas, so he had to look up at him.

A shiny, honeyed complexion and well-maintained red hair reveal the child's life as a noble identity.

“I have a question about you. ”

Sage snuck out of her mouth like a child who came to the Pope's office alone.

Then I kept my mouth shut with my eyes closed, standing behind Judas.

Judas immediately introduced him to the call after reading a cautious gaze.

“I'm a school teacher and escort. I trust my back, so it's okay to talk with confidence. ”

It was a tone of trust. Sage, who heard it, made a few more calls with a cautious eye.

Cole's expression, which was monocular in thin eyes, along with a white hair strand that could feel sublime even if not gray hair, was incredibly generous.

It was a calmly bowing call, but inside I was moved and rejoiced like a child.

‘He who trusts enough to leave his back! ’

There was no more thrilling compliment than that as a cologne who knew how bitter Igrett had been betrayed the other day.

I felt like I was going to shed tears, but I kept the focus face with the year-round wheels that I had made.

It was just a heavy, mild-looking escort when viewed from the outside.

Sage grabbed sight of the boundary and looked back at Judas.

“…… My mother said that my brother was a fake. It's just a fake, and there's no human soul in it. ”

Cole, who encountered something unusual, groaned in his sighs without teeing.

Even if Judas was really just a soulless doll, he shouldn't have taught his children that way.

The Empress was pushing her back so that she could trample her brother without any guilt.

It was like holding a knife to a child and pulling a trick.

“So he said he would take a breath once he was baptized for this cleansing. All unclean things will not withstand the divine power and burn. ”

“My existence is unclean, so it will burn..... ”

That was true.

The unclean being outside God's creation, when baptized by the Pope, disappears without leaving a handful of pure white flames.

However, this was the case when Judas was a 'fake life’ without a real soul.

He was not unjust in God's standards. The method was slightly twisted, but it was a vessel that contained the whole human soul.

“Actually, I used to be your mother..... When that happened, I definitely thought you were dead. Because you were supposed to be dead then. But..... ”

Surrounded by extreme care, the naive child who believed in her mother and followed her like the god of the world began to doubt her at some point.

“That's weird. It's just a fake, and you're already dead once. How do you make that look? It's like a living person..! ”

“Here we go. Sage, calm down and come here. Let's sit down and talk. ”

Judas shook hands with the three princes who were in chaos and raised their voices.

He pointed to a wooden chair in the temple.

It was a chair that was wide and low in height so that it could be buried comfortably from child to adult.

First Sage sat down with him in a chair about four feet wide.

“ ……. ”

There was a brief silence between the two brothers sitting side by side in the chair.

As excitement subsided, Sage began to feel anxious about the impulsive behavior she had committed for the first time in her life.

Even now, I heard a powerful word from Sage's conflicting ears.

“He's alive. ”

Judas slowly stretches out his arms as he looks at the frozen eyes shaken by suspicion and confusion.

Surprised and blindfolded, Sage immediately felt the warm warmth sitting over his head and lifted up his eyelids.

I saw a smiling brother stroking his head.

“Here I am, definitely alive. ”

“…… Ah……. ”

Sage, who opened her mouth without my knowledge, flinched.

“It won't do you any good unless you believe me anyway. I'm curious about that. Oh, my God, everyone's gonna be worried. ”

“You don't understand me? He may die miserably this time of Purification Baptism. Brother..! ”

“ ……. ”

Judas' gold eye sank heavily.

Sage was already shaking at the point where he said he might die, not die.

“I'll see for myself. It will remain here until the end of the baptism of purification tomorrow. Stay and bring your Vivo directly to the Imperial Palace! ”

“The next nine days. ”

It was the time left until the imperial ceremony.

Judas hung up on the child with a determined expression. Sage understood that too.

“Soon you'll know the truth you want to know, Sage. ”

It was a meaningful story.

Judas looks tranquil, but in fact looks down at the child like a sea with deep, huge waves hiding.

“Then choose for yourself. ”

“‘Select’ ……? ”

Sage muttered the word choice because he was dumb.

For the young prince, who had grown up so far in extreme poverty, he was more accustomed to walking along the path he had just made, rather than having the opportunity to choose for himself.

All I had to do was walk along the red carpet laid by others, especially my mother.

“With your own judgment, not the judgment of anyone else. Would that be difficult?”

“No, it's not that hard! ”

“Can you promise me that? ”

The red-headed child who replied quickly for no reason rolled his eyes and pondered the promise. Soon, however, he nodded.

“…… I will, I promise. ”

The child, who wanted to answer gently, was again vigilant quickly, adding:

“Ha, but I don't believe you. As you said, you will see and judge with your own eyes. I will never forgive you if you show bad manners or plots to lose. ”

“Hahaha. If you sell a plot, that would be something that ‘fake’ can't do, so it would be a way of proving it. ”

“Brother!"

“No. Don't worry, I won't do anything cowardly as a brother. ”

Sage, who held two fists, looked at his brother with a shabby face.

The more you talk, the more you feel. It's not like he's a doll, it's an intense suspicion that he might be completely alive.

‘No, my mother would never lie to me. ’

Sage stared depressingly at his shoe nose.

Sage turned away from the fact that she was already sneaking out of the Imperial Palace and came to see Judas.

‘I'll see. Evidence that you're a fake, I won't let you see it! ’

Judas had to lie for everything to end beautifully.

Sage was clever enough to feel it instinctively.

The Empress is a compassionate and sincere mother, and Sage herself is Homonculous, not just an 'elder' who has been despised for so long, and so it must be said that she will soon be baptized with purification and will disappear from the world.

That way, the peace he enjoys will not be broken.

Because of this, the child wished to be balanced.

Even if the warmth I just felt was false, it was fine.

At least until now, that was the ideal path.
