Chapter 292: Half-baked Revolution (7)

Actually, what happened to these people had nothing to do with me now.

Even now, as things were being finished, I did not feel interested.

The Emperor’s power had been smashed, anyway. Even if this revolution was not completed, it would not be possible to raise the imperial power that had already fallen to the earth.

‘There is no possibility of that.’

There was literally zero chance this work would fail.

I thought that the dragging period of power fight could be quite long, but the anger that the existing vested rights showed was enough to change the minds of those in a vague position.

Even if I were a soldier of the Empire, I would have naturally pressed the button to change the posture.

All that was left for them now was the sincere devotees of the Emperor, some knights, and the soldiers who couldn’t choose to stand with the Goddess in the end.

I was a little worried about how the Imperial Knight Victor Hart would move, but seeing that no other news came, Cha Hee-ra seemed to have been able to block him well.

In fact, when I saw the situation going by, I wondered if I didn’t even need to send Hee-ra along.

‘That old man must not have chosen again this time.’

Whether he was guarding the Empire or that old Emperor, he must be confused as well.

I couldn’t imagine him wielding his sword for the majority of the imperial people that were now deemed as traitors.

Likewise, it was hard to imagine a scene where he would swing his sword at the Emperor.

Again, the old man had chosen not to choose a side.

‘Should I say he’s clever, or just plain stupid?’

I didn’t know what other people’s standards would be like, but Victor Hart was the idiot among idiots, at least in my standards.

Under the Imperial Palace, yelling and screaming were heard continuously.

“Find the traitors of the Goddess! Find the Goddess’ traitors! Search everything inside the castle! She will be hiding somewhere! Definitely!”

“The maids are innocent! Even the Goddess will not forgive anything that hurts the innocent. They can be with us just as we have repented of our sins!”

“These crazy traitors! Get on your knees! Will you not get down on your knees right now? How these dirty and lowly commoners dare touch me?!”

“Please save me. Please… I was wrong. Please save me!”

“Don’t leave even one alive! What are the Heretic Inquisitors doing?! Without immediately finding out that the Goddess’ rebels had cooperation with the devil!”

“Get them out! Get them all out!”

were all mixed and heard. It looked as if everyone had gone mad.

Oscar was still leading the people, protecting the innocents in the castle, all while searching for the hidden nobles.

In the meantime, seeing Heretic Inquisitors on their way, it seemed that Cardinal Basel’s work, which had already occurred inside the Holy See, had also been well completed.

The imperial people had already blocked and tightened the entrance to the capital’s back, so the Emperor and Charlia had already been caught.

Since the Goddess’ mirror continued to show the sinful people, there would be limits for them to withstand.

I thought about whether I should shoot the Breath once, but I only regret not being able to do that.

“Puhahahahaha.”

To sum it all up, it was not a situation where laughing would be weird.

It was no wonder that in the midst of that, I saw Jung Hayan staring at me.

I nodded slightly, and I could see her disappearing from my sight as if she herself felt excited.

I didn’t know what she was trying to do, but if I would guess, she would be headed right for the First Princess. Since she had said something about sharing love or whatever, Hayan must have thought of this as an opportunity to loose what hatred had been accumulated inside.

‘It’s victory.’

As I slowly got off of Dialugia, I saw some familiar faces.

“Oh, Cardinal Basel!”

“Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung!”

“So? Did everything go well? Cardinal Basel?”

“Yes. Thanks to you, Honorary Bishop! Absolutely! It hurts a little, but what can I do if it’s the Goddess’ new will? This is all for the Goddess, so she will be happy.”

“Yes. Absolutely. The Goddess would laugh too, and nod at the Cardinal. Hahahaha. By the way… If things were done successfully, I should call you Pope Basel, not Cardinal Basel, from now on. I’m jealous, Pope. Aren’t you a little closer to the Goddess? Hahaha.”

“I haven’t even been crowned yet. Hohoho. Well, it looks like that it’ll happen soon… and Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung, shouldn’t you be called the Honorary Cardinal?”

“I’m sorry? What… do you…?”

“Hahaha. You don’t have to be so surprised, Honorary Cardinal.”

“No, Cardinal Basel… I-It’s so sudden, well…”

“In fact, I’ve been thinking about this since this story came out, Honorary Cardinal. Although there is no precedent in the church yet, who would dare to deny my words when I, the next Pope, would do that? Haha. Actually, it’s not Honorary Cardinal. I wanted to raise Lee Kiyoung as a Cardinal on the Benigore Church. Still, there are some stiff internal regulations, and honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung seems to hate being repressed, so I could only do this.”

“Ah… Cardinal Basel… It’s too much for me.”

“It’s not! Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung is the right person for this position! You’re the one I trust the most!”

“I have done nothing but serve the Goddess, Cardinal Basel.”

“That’s why I have no choice but to like the Honorary Cardinal. Hahaha. You’re not greedy! Greedy! How can a person who’s not greedy exist? Hahahaha. Are foreigners like Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung… no, people, common? Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung is a blessing from the Goddess!”

“T-This is a great praise, Your Holiness Pope.”

“Hahahaha. Stop saying that, Honorary Cardinal. Please use that title when the crowning ceremony is over. Hahaha. Oh! And even if you are an Honorary Cardinal, we will take measures so that you can receive all the benefits you enjoy as a cardinal. Don’t be too disappointed.”

‘Nice! Nice!’

I wanted to scream inside. On the outside, I would say that he didn’t need to do this, but who in actuality would refuse this position?

‘It’s the Honorary Cardinal.’

In addition to numerous privileges, the three Templars would respond to the personal safety of Lee Kiyoung.

One of the secret weapons hidden by the Holy Empire was to become my shadow warrior. I wanted to dance in happiness.

“Thank you for the words, Cardinal Basel. Come to think of it, Archbishop Jessica and Director of Inquisition Helena…”

“Ah! Archbishop Jessica is helping those who go to the city to realize the will of the Goddess, and Director of Inquisition Helena is still punishing the existing sinners at the Holy See… Actually, I also have to leave, but when I saw that Cardinal Lee Kiyoung came with the dragon, I came in a hurry. Hahaha. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but to have been chosen by such a transcendental creature…”

“Everything is the Goddess’s will. Haha. Would there be any other reason?”

I certainly thought that this had all been done too soon, but it seemed as if things had been going better than what I had initially imagined.

Since he said that Helena was finishing up, he could come out rest assured.

They were still scuffling inside the royal city. The temperature difference from here was probably quite big.

In fact, I wanted to drink a cup of tea, but I couldn’t afford to relax now.

I saw those who were now approaching, swayed by the troops. Some of them looked to have paused in the middle, and some were smiling.

They, too, were convinced that we had won.

“Duchess Catherine! Countess Elise!”

“Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung! Ah! Cardinal Basel was here, too.”

“Ohh. Long time no see, Duchess Catherine.”

“Cardinal Basel also seems to be in a better mood.”

“Hahaha. It is the day when the enlightened people can preach the new will of the Goddess. Of course, I would be in a better mood. Come to think of it, didn’t you say she came to talk with Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung? Let’s talk about it.”

“No. That’s okay, Cardinal Basel. It’s a good day as you said, so why don’t we have to show us that we are together? Honorary Bishop Lee Kiyoung is actually only here to give his thanks, so it feels more burdensome if you leave. Stay here.”

I saw Cardinal Basel nodding.

There was an old saying that the Pope’s side always said: As a new era has arrived, there is no need to growl and show teeth to each other.

The nobles, including Duchess Catherine and Cardinal Basel’s Vatican, understood this better than anyone else.

I, too, nodded and spoke right away. It was only right to make the friendly atmosphere even friendlier.

“Haha. Duchess Catherine, too… What are you grateful for? Rather, it’s only right for me to say thank you.”

“No, Honorary Bishop. We, the eastern nobles, no, we are no longer nobles. Gosh… Anyway, if the Honorary Bishop didn’t care about us, we wouldn’t have been able to stand in the Goddess’ temple either. What the Honorary Bishop has done for us will never be forgotten. I’d also like to apologize for the things I made you take care of, since it’s a very sensitive and heavy matter.”

“Of course I can understand, Duchess Catherine. Rather, thank you for being with me. Thank you for trusting me. If the eastern nobles had not been with me, things would not have worked out so well.”

“No. Rather, we were very happy to be able to share our will with the imperial people, but…”

“Hahaha. You don’t have to worry, Duchess Catherine. I arranged seats in the assembly for the nobles who joined the declaration of support for the civil revolution. No. It is not something I prepared. Our imperial people will provide it. Haha.”

“Thank you for caring for us.”

“I’ll thank you again, Honorary Bishop.”

“There is no need, Countess Elise. I’m all embarrassed. Hahaha.”

Our pleasant conversation was a stark contrast to the nobles who had not taken our side.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

“Ahhhhhh!”

“It hurts… hurts! Help me! Help me!”

“Don’t miss a single one! We must not miss a single rebel who betrayed the Goddess!”

“Don’t let Argimo’s sacrifice be in vain!”

“For the sacred democracy! For the Goddess!”

Hearing all that made me acknowledge what a pleasure it was to know that I belonged to this group. I felt a bit guilty, but this was how society worked, anyway.

“Then, why don’t we go to another place?”

“Where…?”

“Hahaha. We have to get this done right. Duchess! Cardinal Basel, come with us, too. It is a glorious imperial people victory. On a day like this, the Cardinal shouldn’t be left out.”

“This is…”

“Yes. Come with us, Cardinal. You have to introduce yourself to the people of the Empire. You’re going to be the Holy Father now.”

“Ahem. Then, let’s do it. The great Goddess’s army has won, so of course, we have to celebrate!”

It was when we were just about to move. Another group appeared in a fairly close place.

When I saw that distorted expression, I smiled. Naturally, I began to clap. The eastern nobles joined me in doing so.

“Hahahaha. Isn’t that the number one secret contributor to this revolution? Your Majesty Charlotte! Hahahahaha. And all the nobles who supported our revolutionary group! Thank you very much. Your Maje… no, no. They are no longer the royal family. Charlotte-nim!”

“Y… you…”

“Well, well, well. Let’s move together! It is a great victory for the imperial people.”

With a shameless expression, I lifted my thumb up, and a shivering fist appeared in my sight.
