I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

21 – Thief (3)

By the way, you’re really sleeping next to me

Is this baby puppy holy water?

In the fantasy world, creatures such as holy and divine beasts

Wasn’t it a creature as solemn and wonderful as a wolf?

Even if it doesn’t look like a wolf, shouldn’t it show at least the quality of a Jindo dog?

This is a Pomeranian no matter who sees it.

“Baby, wake up.”

I pricked the cheek of a puppy who was sleeping soundly with breathing sounds.

I wonder if I fell into a deeper sleep than I thought, wide open my bright eyes

She slightly stuck out her tongue, as if making a tongue.

It’s true that he’s acting cute to me no matter who sees it.

However, Stella was frightened when she saw me like that.

He began to dry her by pulling her shoulders.

“Do not… Wake up the sleeping holy water…!!”

“It’s okay, look. You’re docile, aren’t you?”

She picked up the puppy with both her hands and held it out to Stella.

The puppy, who tilted her head and pouted her ears, said she had no idea what the situation was.

‘Bung!’ And she wept loudly.

“Is holy water still being heard by people…? This… Can’t be like this…?”

“Isn’t this child a holy beast or something? It just looks similar.”

Because he’s so gentle, it seems like he’s been touched a lot.

I saw before that there was something like a cage raising animals.

I wonder if it’s a baby puppy that got out of there.

“No… See the cross necklace hanging around her neck? Proof that it’s holy water.”

“Hmm…”

“And the magic power and presence that radiates… It’s definitely not a street dog.”

All I can feel is the energy of a gentle puppy raised at home.

Well, if Stella says holy water, it must be holy water.

“So? Where did this holy water come from?”

“It is the holy water of the Jinwang Shrine located in the basement of the church headquarters.”

“King Jin?”

Come to think of it, this is the name I heard during priestly training.

As the first hero chosen by the goddess

Defeat 3 chaos, seal each 6 chaos

A savior sent to another world.

While being the founder of the Hellenes Church, he is also the founding monarch who founded the Church of Christ.

“This holy beast is a spirit raised by King Jin since he was alive. It is a watchman who protects the temple of King Jin.”

“Is the baby dog a watchman?”

“Even if it looks like this, it’s already 3,000 years old. So you have to be careful.”

Because it is the strongest creature, there is a rumor that you will be cursed if you touch it wrongly.

There must have been something like a sudden heart stop and death.

That’s just because it’s so cute that it hurt my heart

Isn’t it a misrepresentation?

By the way…If I’m not mistaken…

……..Three thousand years?!

Is this baby puppy?

Even if you hit it a lot, it seems like it came out of its mother’s stomach only a month ago?

“Three thousand years?!”

“Yes.”

“Is that even possible?”

“Among monsters and beasts, there are more individuals who can live for 3,000 years than I thought.

I learned that drakes and wyverns live for over 10,000 years.”

Unexpectedly, it was a place with a strong fantasy character…

I should have noticed from when there was magic…

“Unfortunately, Seong-yong, who was raised by the first wise man, is not at the church headquarters.”

“Did he die?”

“I don’t know about that. I don’t think he died because he lived a long time like Seongsu…”

It is said that it is the 19th wonder of the Hellenes.

Stella leaned her head on my shoulder, saying she would like to know the secret someday.

I hugged the holy water (baby puppy) that I was holding in her left arm.

Her right arm stroked Stella’s hair.

But now that I think about it, one question remains.

It has nothing to do with Seongsu.

This is because she found a contradiction in what she learned during her priestly education.

“Stella, by the way, I noticed something a bit contradictory.”

“What do you mean?”

“King Jin died in a battle against chaos, how did he become the founding monarch who founded the country?”

“Three knights who followed King Jin and the first saintess followed King Jin’s will and founded the Church.

With Chuseung, King Jin became His Majesty the first King, and after the framework of religion was established, it changed to the papal system.”

“I see, I can study with Stella as expected.”

In other words, King Jin is the only king of the Hellenes Church.

After that, the saintess, who was King Jin’s companion, received an oracle from the goddess Helenes.

She is said to have made the first pope and the other two cardinals.

“And King Jin didn’t go back, he’s still watching over us from his underground temple.”

“He was a warrior, became a king, then became a guardian deity… King Jin is a very busy person.”

“Thanks to that, we are here.”

I don’t know what it means to fight chaos, but I heard that the end of the world almost came.

Since you’ve solved that, you must be worshiped together with the goddess Helenes.

So it is all thanks to King Jin that the warrior is worshiped religiously.

“I never thought this puppy would be such a great kid…”

“A baby puppy… Actually, it’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this, although there is a tradition that the owner, King Jin and the first saint, showed this kind of appearance…”

The only thing I have in common with King Jin is being a hero.

Ah, because I have a puppy that follows me like this

I definitely want to grow one.

No, I want to raise this child myself.

“I can’t raise them, can I?”

“That…Well…? I’m sure there are a lot of people who raise cats or owls in their dormitory… But…It’s holy water…”

“It’s just waiting in the deep temple for the master to come anyway.”

“Yes… What a pitiful child.”

Before King Jin parted

It is said that he promised to give me a delicious meal when I come back.

But in the end, the owner, King Jin, didn’t come back.

From then on, I stopped talking about everything

For more than 3,000 years, they waited vaguely for the master’s return in the deep temple.

‘Now that I think about it, why did you eat the bread I gave you?’

There are still many questions left

This child is something I want to take care of.

It continued to flow from his chest.

***

I applied for an interview with the pope and went up to the office.

The Pope and the Cardinals, the Grand Master and the High Priest, etc…

The backbone of the church was all gathered.

Looking at the situation, it looks like you’re having a meeting.

I was about to leave, saying I would come back later.

This puppy is bruised! She did and cried, so her eyes were focused on me.

Is that all?

They began to praise, saying that it was the second coming of King Jin and that he was the true savior sent by the goddess Hellenes.

In addition, the high priest who brought coffee to the Pope

When he saw me holding the puppy, he even shed tears saying, ‘It’s great…’.

Anyway, the puppy who had been complaining about food for 3,000 years

The figure hugged by me seems to have caused such a disaster.

‘What is it? For some reason, it feels like the atmosphere would be acceptable, right?’

So I took Stella by the hand, hugged her dog, and came into her office and sat in her chair.

She asked if it would be okay for me to raise this child.

Of course, the reaction of the people at the center of the religious organization sitting there was within expectations.

“I think it’s fine.”

“I’m sure Seongsu-nim is happy to find a new owner.”

“Now I just need to find Seong-yong.”

All the cardinals agreed while laughing amicably.

It seems that finding the Holy Dragon and feeding the Holy Beast are among the long-cherished wishes of the church.

I understand the former, but the latter gives me a bit of a headache.

“As expected, you are the hero chosen by the goddess. It’s just something to admire.”

“Even the high priests have no objection.”

The general manager also agreed at once.

The high priests also supported us at once.

Not only that, but the high priests began to bloom with stories about the animals they raised.

“If this happens, the first child of the saintess and the warrior will be the holy beast.”

“hahahaha, His Holiness has great humor even at times like this!”

“I’m serious, but…”

“Your humor is fun until the end!”

I wondered if they were having a moment of conte, but the two of them seem to be more serious than I thought.

With the Pope who is serious, not humorous

Cardinal bursting with bread because he took it as a joke…

Because we’re on good terms, that’s probably how things come out.

“When I was young, when I said I would raise a squirrel

Didn’t you discuss the week?”

Why did you allow West to grow holy trees?

She puffed out her cheeks and pouted her mouth.

He hugged me.

“Yeah, isn’t the holy water of the temple and the squirrel on a different level?”

“Hey, did Cardinal Dandel object that it could be dangerous from something like rabies?

I remember everything!”

“No, that’s…For the comfort of the saintess…”

The old cardinal called Dandel sighed.

The spoiled tomboy got the feeling that he didn’t know what to do with his granddaughter’s childishness.

No matter who sees it, it is not a restraint, prank, or bullying of the saintess.

I was really worried at the time, so I had a strong feeling that I was against it.
