Egret

Chapter 10. Chicken Game: Ending

After that conversation, Sage remained in the diocese as promised.

Like a guard watching a prisoner, the child observes his brother's day-to-day life.

If the Emperor sent a man, no one would come to see him, unlike Sage, who was planning to remain in the diocese even in a herd.

Even though he noticed his son's absence immediately, the Empress remained silent all along until the time of darkness fell and fell asleep.

In the wind, Sage was rather unsettled like a shitty puppy.

‘What do I do? My mother is very angry..... ’

However, I wanted to see for myself the consequences of purification baptism.

The first deviation from his will brought anxiety to the child, as well as tension in the heart.

Sage, who was out of our way and crouching like a lost lamb, stared at Judas.

“ ……. ”

With the Holy Spirit burning before him, Judas sat down on his knees on the altar and scorched his heat.

The sparkling silver hair and the pure white garment over him mingled with the fire of sanctification and seemed to see a virgin backdrop.

‘Perhaps more..... than that, holy? ’

Sage thought for a moment and shook his head.

‘No, what was I thinking? It's impossible to see a fake without a soul and be holy! You must be sleepy. ’

Judas, who was scheduled to be baptized early in the morning, had to receive the energy of sanctification in the temple all night long.

Sage, who promised to keep an eye on him, was forced to spend the night in the temple.

At first I was worried about sneaking out of the Imperial Palace, so my heart, which was beating two and a half times, became dull.

Sage was quickly exhausted as a child who was only 9 years old.

I was so uncomfortable because there was no user to lift my hair like in the palace.

A chair made of high-quality wood was unbearable at first, and now it's as hard and shiny as a rock in Yasan.

In the meantime, Sage began to slumber in discomfort without beating the incoming horse.

“…… Call. ”

“Yes.”

Calls also responded promptly to a small call.

Judas, who had been on his knees in front of the Holy Spirit for several hours, stood up and closed his eyes without moving.

“You must be tired, too. ”

Judas laid the three sleeping princes right on a long chair. The chair in the temple was long enough for a child to lie on his feet.

He said in a sorry tone that covered the shawl he was hanging on it like a blanket.

“I'm the only one who shouldn't get out of the temple. So get out of here and rest. ”

“What do you mean by that, Sire? You know I didn't follow you just to take my convenience. ”

Judas, who heard the appeal with the saucer, asked.

“Do you see any harm done to my child? ”

“That's not why..... ”

Cole hangs a grin at the wrinkled mouth.

This resembled the look Judas often used to make when he saw the children in Lubach who were vibrant.

“Phew, it's not because you suspect something. I'm just getting older, so I feel more comfortable doing this. ”

“One too. ”

The old man and the boy, who met twice during the priesthood and continued the kite, smiled with the same expression at the same time.

The two people who laughed and killed the child in fear of waking up returned to the street and sat comfortably on the bare ground.

They stare at the blazing white flame for a long time.

There was no sense of fire to burn in the sanctuary, nor was there smoke when burning something.

The fire was soaring like it was painted on an empty silver tray.

The flame with sacred power was not hot, but the warm energy that extended out of it filled the surroundings.

It calmed my mind and cleared my hair.

The two spent their time sitting in front of the sanctification, calmly like a photosynthetic plant.

Then Cole opens the door with a small voice.

“…… Do you intend to leave it that way? ”

Judas fixed his eyes on the sanctification as if he did not understand it.

“He may be the most obstructive to what he wants to do. ”

“ ……. ”

“No matter how young you are, you must remember that you are an 'enemy’ there. ”

There was still no answer from the teacher. Cole gives up listening to the answer and takes a long sigh.

His teacher was hard on the outside, but the inside remained the same. It was hard not to know whether to regard this half-baked ship as safe or sad.

The teacher's voice came to him, who had long standing muscles that had been pounding with his fist.

“Cole.”

The gaze, which was stubbornly stuck in the sacred painting, turned and directed the call straight.

“He's not an enemy, he's my brother. ”

“…… Your Majesty. ”

“He's a brilliant kid, so you'll soon know what to choose for yourself. Depending on your choice, you may be the enemy. ”

I don't mean to be surrounded by the bloodline of my present life.

He didn't have a family to feel right about anyway. In his past life and in his present life, he never learned that love is family.

Judas wanted to believe in the infinite possibilities that a child had, rather than admiring the love he had never seen.

“It's a field that hasn't been seeded yet with rolling dice, so let's put it down for a while and watch. ”

It was still nothing to worry about, but Cole replied politely.

According to Judas, Sage was a child who had yet to decide anything on his own.

It was the current Empress who killed the Empress and is still aiming for Hoshitam Judas' neck, not her son Sage.

Even now, I did not distinguish between truth and falsehood, so I came here to know it properly, and there was no other purpose.

Sleeping in an uncomfortable chair right now, the Three Kings Sage was just a normal nine-year-old boy.

Just because you're in a position to do something bad, asserting that you're an enemy right now was adult trafficking and some kind of stigmatization.

I knew what that meant, but Cole looked back at the chair on which the Three Kings lay with a grumpy heart.

‘Is there really no ambition in the child's mind? All the truths my mother and I taught her will collapse like castles built with cards. …… Is he really going to be able to break the past and choose the truth? ’

Cole lived as an Imperial Spiritmaster and saw, heard, and experienced many things.

The wheels he had built also included a view of human nature.

In spite of his age and countless encounters with the filthy side of man, there was only one person who retained his first pure heart.

‘…… Then it's my fault that I was too bitten in the world. Teacher, I don't think that's fair. ’

Not everyone is the same. People have different natures and temperaments depending on the environment in which they were raised.

Seeing the mother who conceived and gave birth to the child or the environment in which she grew up, the 3rd Emperor was not a very positive person.

‘Everyone…… is not like a teacher. ’

The pudding that could not flow out of my mouth warmed my throat like a hot soup.

Instead of throwing it up, Cole just closed his eyes.

If the teacher wasn't wary himself, he had to be wary instead.

Cole, who recalled what he was going to do again, opened his eyes and looked at the Holy Spirit.

Beyond the white-burning flame, I saw Sage, the three kings who had fallen asleep.

The night at the Pope's office passed very slowly with each person's thoughts and purpose in mind.

Early in the morning and summer the next day, the baptism of purification was busy because the sun was starting to rise early.

It was because of the pure sunlight of the sun that had just risen and the holy water that had been made by collecting the dew that had fallen overnight.

“The baptism of purification will be organized by the Holy Father himself, and no one but the Baptist should walk in the temple during the ceremony. ”

Saint and her guardian dog, Hevnicius, guarded the front door of the temple.

At this time, Cole and Sage, who remained in the temple with Judas overnight, had to wait outside.

Soon the Pope arrived and entered the temple, and the door was closed again firmly.

Sage grabbed his small fist tightly, staring at the firmly closed door.

I didn't know exactly what was going on inside, but I sweated into my palms because of the tension.

When the door is opened again after purification, the world that he should believe in is determined.

Sage waved like a lantern in front of the wind between the urge to break the baptism and his willingness to see the end.

Then Cole, who was waiting for the first prince to come out with a comfortable face, lost his gaze.

Sage stared at him.

The teacher of Lubach and the prince's escort.

Age seemed to be between middle-aged and old, and it was clear that he had a special ability because he did not have both a sword and a sorceress book.

Whether Sage was staring or not, Cole stood staring at the door of the temple as if he were waiting for his master.

“.... You are my brother's escort, right? ”

“Yes.”

Cole faithfully replied to the young prince who had spoken abruptly.

“What's your name?”

“My name is Cortoban Yen. ”

“‘Yen’? I've heard of Jen's Gaju before. Oh! So you're the famous Imperial Spiritmaster? ”

“Major, I don't know if you've heard from Her Majesty the 3rd Highness, but Yenka's master and spiritual master are right. ”

Sage looks surprised by Cole's calm answer.

Cortoban Yen was not just a highly qualified spiritist.

The only disciple of Igret, who descends like a legend, and the only one who has the ultimate dual attributes of Fire and Wind.

Although he is now retired at an age, he was also a great man who left numerous achievements as an Imperial Spiritologist.

It was a position no matter how imperial the prince might be.

I couldn't understand the innermost part of Sage because he was on a escort mission.

“You... well, why are you here? ”

Seeing Sage quietly change his title, Cole replies with a smile.

“I'm here to protect Her Majesty. ”

“I didn't bite it. So why.”

“ ……. ”

“No, I have to change the question. If you wanted to protect your brother, why didn't you stop this baptism of purification? ”

Sage asked again in a frustrating tone. There was also a slight resentment.

“Because there's no reason to stop it. ”

“Aren't you afraid? ”

“…… Your Majesty, may I ask you a question? ”

Cole, who once gazed at the door of the temple, which was still firmly closed, turned to the Three Kings.

Sage nodded and immediately followed the question.

“What did you come here to see? ”

“Of course..... ”

Sage, who was trying to answer, forgot to stop talking.

I thought I'd come to check for fake deaths only when I first sneaked away from the emperor.

However, he was much more human than Sage had vaguely thought, and welcomed him in a gentle and warm atmosphere, unlike before he got angry.

I even thought I'd make jokes that didn't suit my relaxed, calm eyes.

The hope of such an existence came too horribly to Sage, 9 years old.

The 3rd Emperor, who could not come up with an answer for the purpose of the fire, slightly revised it and spit it out.

“To see that door open. ”

The little finger pointing at the temple door trembled.

Calls who noticed the inner conflict of the Three Kings, who could not help themselves, merely smiled at the surface.

A little murmur came out, saying, "I see."

“1If the Prince is baptized and comes out safely, may I ask what will happen after him? ”

“No way! ”

“If it's not possible, why are you here yourself? ”

“That, that. ”

“I thought Prince XIII came out because he thought he might. ”

“ ……. ”

Sage kept her mouth shut as she watched Cole remind her of the cold reality with a slack face.

“If the door opens, you'll have to face it, whether you like it or not. Truth is that. It doesn't show you what you want to see, it doesn't tell you what you want to hear. ”

His words pierced Sage's chest like thorns.

Every time he continued with one word, I felt a tingling, unknown pain.

“If you have come to know the truth, you must also have the courage to be worthy of it. ”

“Courage……"? ”

“Yes.”

Only then did Sage face the pain and tremor he felt.

This was fear.

“That is the weight of your choice to come to the Emperor of Darubarzan. ”
