Chapter 324

TL: Zimmings

When the pope gestured at Ridalante, another cardinal, Nicolasio, hurriedly pulled him out.

After that, the pope who supported me took me inside the Great Gate (the tower where the Pope’s office is located).

As soon as we crossed the bridge of the Great Gate, an intense aura enveloped my whole body.

It was the first time in my life that I was filled with surprisingly pure divine power.

If you are a person with divine power, just entering is enough to heal any wounds.

How on earth is this space maintained?

As I was thinking, I burst out laughing as soon as I saw the statue hanging in the chapel.

A broken statue whose face is not visible.

But I knew what kind of god it was.

It was something that I’ve always seen since I was young.

This is the “Serga’s Temple” in ancient times.

‘Since these things have been moved, there is no choice but to create a divine site.’

The two gods and 72 pioneers made that together. Their strength must have melted away as they hadn’t been together for a long time.

The pope asked me, staring at the broken statue.

“Do you remember that?”

“…At the center of the temple, there was a statue of Serga, whom you defined as evil God.”

“Meria and I were together in the last moments of ancient times.”

I looked at the pope.

‘With this degree of obsession, it has far surpassed the level of illness.

The pope seated me in the chair of the chapel and said,

“Leave only the healing priest and go.”

Adrian took a step forward. Then the other priest went away as he came closer to me.

He started healing on my knees in front of me.

A scar can be seen through the hood. I inadvertently tried to reach out my hand, then recalled that the pope was looking at me and hold back.

Adrian’s hand on my knee was warm.

“I will make sure that Ridalante never comes close to you again.”

“…….”

“Meria.”

The pope’s voice was heard again.

I managed to squeeze my voice out.

“Okay.”

“…….”

“Why?”

“…Why are you so gentle?”

“Now that I’m inside the temple, I just knew that I couldn’t survive without your help.”

Meanwhile, Adrian touched the back of my hand, which had been scratched.  It became warm, and then the wound disappeared without a trace.

His fingertips collided with mine, and we looked at each other.

In fact, I’ve been very anxious so far.

The power of the pope exceeded Mina, and I was imprisoned in the enemy camp without etwal.

I was anxious that my life would be ruined again.

But the moment I looked at his firm eyes, my anxiety disappeared.

‘Since when did he become a man with these eyes?’

Then, the pope got up.

“Go away.”

Adrian’s hands were tense.

I opened my eyes without realizing it, fearing that he would attack the pope.

It was almost impossible to help Adrian because I was not in good shape, and fighting without even expecting reinforcements in the middle of the enemy camp was like a suicide.

‘Calm down!’

It was the first time in my life that I was this affectionate, but I had gone through all sorts of hardships and battles.

My life and my lover’s life are too precious for him to abandon.

‘What are you doing?!’

When I glanced at him again, Adrian slowly stepped back, clenching his fist tightly.

The pope walked past him and approached me.

“If you open your heart, how can I harm your precious things?”

“…….”

“This imperfect body, ever since I was born, has lived only for you.”

The pope pulled my hands together and gently touched my forehead.

“Please accept me. I will put everything you want in this hand.”

He looked so desperate.

People will think it’s pure love. But this is nothing more than stalking and obsession.

I was so shocked that I didn’t even laugh.

‘How could a stalker pretend to be a pure lover!’

But I never said that. Rather, I pretended to hide my emotion.

“How far… can you go for me…?”

“Anything.”

“Will you give me an empire?”

The pope’s pupils shook as I looked at him with greedy eyes.

“If I give you an empire, will you come to me?”

“Bring the gold crown in front of me. I’ll make a decision later.”

There was joy on the pope’s face.

He put his forehead on the back of my hand as if he was thrilled. Then Adrian’s expression got colder. I quickly pulled out my hand and said.

“I want to change clothes. It’s all dusty because of Ridalante.”

“I will call the priests.”

“Give me my clothes.”

“…….”

“How would I believe if a man who didn’t give me my clothes said he would give me an empire?”

“…Wait.”

“Where did you put it? Can’t we go together?”

After pretending to be curious about etwal’s whereabouts and deliberately following him, the pope answered firmly.

“I’ll bring it.”

It was only after I stepped back with my arms folded that the pope was relieved.

Anyway, he was a cautious man.

He’s wary of me finding out where the etwal is.

It is also cautious of him to go alone without even notifying the priests where my stuff is.

Of course, I didn’t forget to look at Adrian, who dressed up as a priest.

The pope left the chapel.

Thud.

As soon as the door closes,

“…….”

“…….”

We hugged each other tightly.

I trembled with my face on Adrian’s neck. His arms, which have already become a man, are wide and firm, so I am relieved.

“How did you get here? Why did you come to such a dangerous place?”

“…I don’t want to leave you alone.”

As soon as I heard his voice, the sadness I had barely endured soared.

My eyes were red, and I rubbed my eyes against his shoulders.

I grabbed Adrian’s face with both hands and looked at him for a long time.

“Why are you so skinny?”

He smiled and took my hand.

“I’m fine.”

“It’s not fine…”

“If you’re okay, I’m okay.”

“…….”

Why does my heart ache so much just looking at you?

Why is it that you don’t regret even the slightest bit of giving up everything?

“How did you get here, huh?”

“I heard from Lucia that you woke up. Besides her, there were quite a few people who had been planted in the temple, so I dressed up as a close aide to the pope.”

“What if the pope notices!”

As soon as I shouted, a group of lights gathered in Adrian’s body. And surprisingly, he changed in an instant.

Dark brown hair, green eyes, wrinkles around the mouth, and three dots lined up on the cheeks.

No matter where I looked, I couldn’t find Adrian’s appearance.

Even the wave of divine power was a completely different person.

“How are you…!”

“Because of Amy.”

‘That’s right!’

Adrian, who succeeded the blood of Gremory, was able to use some of the devil’s power.

With that power, Adrian formed a major relationship with Amy.

When devils become masters, they share some of each other’s abilities.

Amy’s ability is .

It was the ability to change their appearance so perfectly.

‘So even the pope is bound to be deceived.’

“But if it were Amy, he would notice that you changed your face.”

Mina used Amy.

Mina’s power has become the pope’s, so he will surely be able to call Amy.

“Go back before he summons Amy.”

“Let’s go together.”

“I don’t think he’ll let me go.”

“He won’t keep you here.”

“Adr-”

When I was about to call him. Adrian, who returned to his true self, hugged me once again.

“When he hugged you, I thought I would burn with jealousy.”

I flinched.

His voice was too low. It felt unfamiliar as if he was a stranger.

And I… I got shy.

I forcibly fixed my voice and said.

“I thought I’d turn around too. It’s disgusting.”

“…Don’t go to him.”

Really, I felt so affectionate about this man.

I laughed at Adrian, who was like a puppy in the rain. And I stroked his hair.

“I decided to stay by your side.”

“…….”

“You’re cool, but sometimes you look very vulnerable, so I decided to protect you. Adrian, I……”

I continued with shame,

“I love you.”

As such, Adrian always left me with no pride.

A fool that made me think that showing the truth is not hurting my self-esteem.

A person who takes the last step on behalf of me, who is scared every time.

So, in the end, he makes me even bring out the words I hid desperately.

“I love you, Adrian.”

We were impatient and desperate to find each other’s lips.

Like a person who has no tomorrow, desperately as if we would die soon.

Again and again, our lips met, he swallowed mine and I swallowed his breath.

“Meria, this is Christian.”

The pope’s voice outside the room was heard alongside the sound of knocking.

“Meria?”

We only fell apart after kissing several times.

I opened the door of the chapel and greeted the pope, as Adrian hid himself in the shadow.

At that time, in the imperial palace.

Andre, sitting crookedly on the throne, bit the grape and said.

“Is Leblaine Dubblede in the temple?”

The emperor’s head servant with a bruise bowed his head.

“I’ve heard of it.”

Andre, who was licking his lips, raised the corners of his lips.

“Go ahead.”

“Pardom?”

“You dare not let the girl who despised me be alone, can’t you?”

“But I heard that she was under the pope’s protection-”

Andre, who opened his eyes, threw the silver bowl of grapes towards him.

Thud!

With a sound, blood dripped from his head.

“The pope would keep that girl by her side because she was cute? He must have been afraid of the public sentiment, so he had to put her in the corner of the temple.”

“…….”

“She’d be grateful if I took care of it.”

I will put the chain on the arrogant girl’s neck and use it as a weapon of war. Until she goes crazy or until she dies.

The corners of Andre’s lips twitched and rose.
