I was excommunicated from the Holy Knights

40 – When I came to my senses, it was a useless fancy hell 3

Everyone experiences a rock bottom in life, but…

I never thought it would come this way.

At this moment, where I, Cazeros, and Polena are, this is a narrow prison located in the basement.

Paladins.. In other words, we who were brought here because we were the leaders of the church were robbed of all our belongings, and were tied up and abandoned like luggage.

“Hey…hey…hey…”

The cry that froze and spread in the prison in this situation.

The owner of that voice was Cazeros, who in some ways could have had the biggest impact on this work.

“Black… Ugh.. heh.. sorry.. sorry… Because of me… I… Even if I didn’t carry them around without use…”

Cazeros is highly likely to have been formally excommunicated from the church by now in nine out of ten.

However, even if he was not formally recognized, Cazeros did not want to abandon the mindset of a paladin, and even when he entered the city, he carried the badge and clothing of a paladin on his body.

Even though, as a result, the tokens and clothes have become a decisive increase, and we have become like this. So, I had no intention of blaming it.

Getting to this point, her paladin status had certainly helped quite a bit, and her chastity had always been considered worthy of respect.

Based on that thought, I spoke in a calm voice while looking at Cazeros.

“Well… it’s okay. It’s unexpected, but honestly, this happened out of luck.”

“Ha.. but.. but..”

“And, to be honest, this incident was my fault too. No matter how good the spectacle was, it shouldn’t have been there, and it lacked attention.”

“Sa.. Santana..”

So I comforted Cazeros and made her stop crying, but even so, I couldn’t find an answer to this situation.

A prison that is tightly closed on all sides.

Although a paladin can use the aura, the power of purification, it was impossible to exert enough power to get out of here.

I wonder if it’s a magician or a warrior who uses magic.

In order to exert this level of physical power using the aura, you had to possess at least the power of Nune and Tine.

‘But that doesn’t mean I can’t be accused of being a spy and die unjustly. Any way…’

I’d rather have a conversation with the jailer if he was outside, but now this place was just tightly blocked by a steel door, and I couldn’t even see the face of the jailer enough to seduce me.

‘Thinking about it, that part seems strange, but… No, maybe the Paladins are saying this because they intend to cut their throats right away without a rigorous trial or something like that?’

To be honest, I wasn’t too afraid of death itself.

Since I was the one who died and became this Santa or Andreas anyway, in some ways, this life could be said to be a life given as a bonus following the original life.

Although the period was quite short, and it was a life full of regrets in many ways, it was meaningful nonetheless.

In addition, at this moment… I still haven’t had a way to use the life given to me as a bonus.

‘Yeah.. I’m going anyway.. If I can save the lives of these two people here…’

They were the ones who believed in me and followed me until now.

If the opportunity arises,

Determined to find a way to save their lives by devoting one life to another. I started eating hard.

at that time..

“Master, then are we going to die like this?”

“… ”

For talking about death, Polena is showing an expression that is somehow quite exciting.

While admiring her distribution, which allows me to enjoy even this situation, I said in a voice full of sincerity.

“..Perhaps.. it will be difficult for everyone to survive together. but..”

“..but?”

“But at least… I’ll try to get the two of you out safely anyway. Even if something happens to me… for sure.”

“… .”

At my words, Polena erased the smile from her face for an instant.

Then she looked away and muttered in a low voice.

“..If I had to.. should I just push it all away now?..”

“… yes?”

“..no. nothing…”

Immediately after those words, Polena’s cheeks blushed slightly for some reason, and Cazeros let out a heavy sigh for unknown reasons.

That was the time when I saw the two women who sat behind me and kept silent for a while, and a slightly bitter smile appeared on my lips.

-Chunk!-

“huh?”

The next moment, the prison door suddenly opened.

I didn’t know when they came, but there were a lot of people standing in front of the door, and among them, besides the soldiers, there were also men who looked like high-ranking officials in neat clothes.

“..Come out.”

“… ”

They speak in a calm voice.

So I obediently obeyed and got up from my seat.

In this situation, there was no point in resisting anyway, and in order to save the two through negotiations or arguments, I had to avoid acts that looked disrespectful to the other person holding the hilt as much as possible.

And then, Cazeros and Polena, who follow me and try to get up from their seats.

However, the soldiers stood in front of the two, and the high-ranking official spoke to them in a voice that still felt calm.

“The two of you, please stay here a little longer. Until further action is taken.”

“… Santana…”

“master..”

Two people called me with a worried voice.

Regarding this, I said with the widest smile on my lips so as not to worry them.

“..Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it and come back.”

After saying that, I left the prison with the two of them behind me, still being held in the hands of the soldiers.

As I continued to move along the corridors of the lord’s castle toward somewhere, my mind began to fill with thoughts of how to save those two people.

‘Once the paladin certificate came out, clumsy excuses are meaningless.. In the simplest terms, should I say that I was in charge of everything and that the two of them were brought as prisoners or slaves? Otherwise… I’d rather use the property I left at the inn to negotiate as much as possible…’

Either way it won’t be easy, but as the lives of the two depended on it, I was determined to make it a success.

The place where I arrived while thinking about that…

Surprisingly, it was not a court or interrogation room, but the lord’s private study.

“I brought you.”

“Yes, good job.”

A high-ranking official who speaks in a polite tone as soon as he enters the study.

Immediately after that, a man who had been standing around in the room slowly turned his head towards me.

A man with a rich beard and a look that is beyond middle age and entering old age.

Then he looked at me with a somewhat subtle expression, and then slowly nodded.

“..?”

Right after that, the soldiers lowered their heads after letting go of the hand that was still holding me.

Then they and the high-ranking officials left the room empty.

Right after that, only the two men who seemed to be the lord and me were left in the room.

‘The rich brown beard, the eyes that feel the power… And at this point, if the person who is the lord of Bohemia… Is this the Count of Turnen… who is also a famous wizard?’

At that time, based on the contents of the original work, I was able to figure out the identity of the person in front of me…

That person…

Count Thurn began to approach me slowly, trembling slightly for some reason.

‘what… what? Somehow, the atmosphere is a bit strange…’

It’s just a thought, but since I entered this room, there have been many strange things in many ways.

It is also the case that everyone else emptied the room while leaving the person who was immediately captured as a ‘spy’,

Crucially, it was strange that the lord and the ‘sinner’ were left alone.

So, when I was starting to question the current situation a step late…

Before I knew it, Count Turnen was right in front of me.

‘No… Why is this person doing this again?’

In so many ways, the moment my doubts grow as they grow..

“!”

“… .”

Right after that, Count Turnen hugged me tightly as it was.

My head, which was already very complicated by his actions, started to get even more twisted…

Turning to me, Count Turnen said in a voice full of emotion.

“Come on… come on… finally… finally you’re back… Santana… my son!”

‘… .Eh!?’
