Chapter 325

TL: Zimmings

After leaving the emperor’s office, Andre headed to the emperor’s bedroom.

He looked still at the emperor who had lost his mind due to poisoning.

“Look at that. Eventually, your gold crown became mine.”

Andre Loerg had the world’s noblest blood.

People usually said he was a child blessed by God.

His father is the emperor of the empire, and his grandfather is the direct ancestor of Marche, who was called the first family of the empire.

He was the eldest son of the imperial family who inherited the most noble blood in the world.

The people did not dare to step on his shadow, and the old nobles who commanded the world flattered him.

Even the Duke of Marche, his maternal grandfather, often stepped back for Andre.

The emperor could not scold his son with Marche on his back.

The shouts of envy poured out as soon as he was born, alongside the eyes of admiration.

When he was young, he had never doubted that he would be the next emperor.

In the nice world, he was a little tyrant.

Until he met Adrian Louerg.

Because of his appearance, his mother’s worries had increased.

From fighting to magic, learning, or anything else, he was no match for Adrian.

He had a mana which reached the level of a cardinal even at a young age, a body with outstanding wisdom and a beautiful appearance.

The more Adrian stood out, the more Andre’s position was in danger.

The people next to Andre comforted him, saying, “Adrian is the unfortunate prince who didn’t have the emperor’s interest.” but he knew it.

The emperor left Adrian unattended? No, it was rather a protection.

His cunning father must have put the second son away from his mother and grandfather in order to protect Adrian.

Andre instinctively knew who was the emperor’s favorite.

Andre, gripping the bed sheet with both hands, muttered.

“It’s all your fault.”

“…….”

“You didn’t want to give me even the slightest bit of attention you gave to that damn Adrian.”

“…….”

“Then I wouldn’t have poisoned your glass with my hands.”

He smirked as he stared at the blue-eyed emperor as if he was about to tear him to death.

“Look. The son you loved so much was torn to death by my hands.”

Just then, the servants entered the bedroom.

“We’re ready to go out.”

Andre, who straightened his back, left the door.

Before tearing Adrian to death, he should destroy Dubblede’s girl who dared to humiliate him.

***

The vatican.

I clenched my teeth while looking at the smiling pope’s antics.

“I can eat it myself.”

“Don’t take my joy away.”

He will be happy if he feeds me fruits, but Adrian, who is dressing up as a priest behind him, will be very sad!

When I peeked at Adrian, who was getting more and more angry, I jerked and took a fork from the pope’s hand.

Before the pope lifted another fork, I asked him.

“How’s my family?”

“I stopped putting pressure on Dubblede. I also advised Meria not to move hastily for them.”

“I want to send a letter to my family.”

“It’s not possible.”

“You said you’d do anything. But you can’t even let me send them a letter? Is your love only that much?”

“I know that you’re good at agitating your opponents, but it doesn’t work for me.”

The pope handed a tray of fruits to the attendant and smiled sweetly.

‘There is no gap at all.’

The pope was a man who was never swayed. Therefore, he could dominate the world as the head of a religion, but that personality was like poison to me now.

‘I haven’t even looked at etwal in four days since I woke up.’

I couldn’t contact the outside, and I didn’t even have time to discuss with Adrian.

Adrian seems to be exploring the interior of the vatican whenever he has time, but looking at his expression, it seemed difficult to find an escape route, let alone a route for the military to enter.

‘What’s the point of finding an escape route? How can I have time to escape when the pope goes back and forth ten times a day?’

With my arms crossed, I leaned deeply on the chair and sighed.

“Are you bored? Shall we call a clown to perform?”

“No.”

“Bring another snack.”

“No.”

“Would you like to go for a walk together?”

“I hate it the most.”

Just as the pope shrugged his shoulders, an urgent knock was heard.

“A guest has come from the Imperial Palace.”

The pope’s expression quickly became cold.

When I stared at him wondering what was going on, he quickly returned to his original expression.

“I’ll be leaving for a while.”

“…whatever.”

As soon as the pope left the door with his aides, I squinted.

Who is it that the pope needs to personally meet them?

‘Must be Andre, Empress Yvonne, or Marche.’

The most likely would be Andre.

The only person the pope could not easily touch was Andre.

When I thought about it, I heard a clicking sound in my head.

I signaled Lucia, Adrian’s person, and then told the priests who guarded the room.

“I want to go for a walk.”

“Impossible.”

“I told you. If you refuse like that, you’ll regret it later, saying, ‘Oh, I should’ve taken her for a walk before that crazy person bites her tongue.’”

It hurts my pride that Leblaine Lisette Dubblede can only use my life as a threat, but nothing worked better for the priest than the threat of me dying.

The priests hesitated. But Lucia helped me.

“Maria, go and deliver your request to the pope, and Nubel, make sure that no one comes and goes to the garden.”

“But…”

“Do you not know the stubbornness of the saint?”

“…Yes, Lucia.”

After the two left, only Lucia, me and Adrian, remained in the room.

Lucia, who looked around, said.

“What are you going to do?”

“Of course we have to escape.”

“We will do it together.”

I nodded my head. Then Lucia took off the veil she was wearing to hide her face.

When I opened the door, it was noisy outside.

Me and Lucia walked down the hallway at a brisk pace.

The priests going back and forth in the hallways were too busy to greet unexpected guests, so they couldn’t pay close attention to us.

As Lucia was about to move again, I quickly grabbed her wrist.

“Let’s go to the Begonia Garden.”

“There is no passage in the garden.”

“No, there is.”

The road to the passage that Ridalante broke down!

I quickly took Lucia and headed to the Begonia Garden.

When we were about to enter the garden,

“Lucia?”

A middle-aged man called Lucia from behind.

I became nervous. I lowered my head, trying to calm my heart that was about to jump out of my mouth.

Lucia, clutching the hem of her robe tightly, turned her back slowly.

“What’s going on, Priest Yuman?”

“I was about to go find Lucia.”

“Me?”

“Yes. Empress Yvonne is looking for you.”

“Is the empress here?”

“She’s here with Regent Andre. Coming here without any notice….”

“It’s hard for me to make time because I have a schedule. How about sending another priest there?”

“She say she must say something to Lucia.”

Lucia glanced at me.

Other people might come here if she quarreled with that priest.

Lucia had no choice but to nod her head and follow the priest.

After they left, I hurried into the garden.

The place was undergoing repairs, but fortunately, there was still an opening enough for at least one person to enter.

I quickly tucked myself into the hole.

‘Quickly! Please!’

I forced my body inside as my arms and legs were cut all over because of the wall.

Blood oozes from the scratched area.

But I didn’t even notice since I’m afraid that the pope might come to find me soon.

I barely made it through the hole and try to find a room like in my first life.

I traced the wall of the room.

‘It was definitely around here.’

During training, I accidentally bumped the wall. The bookshelf split and the stairs came out.

After that, I overheard the cardinals saying that this was the underground passage 3, the pope’s emergency escape.

While frantically fumble around the wall, something caught my fingertips.

‘It’s here!’

Let’s press down on that part. The bookshelf opened.

When I was about to rush down the stairs,

I heard loud footsteps from afar.

It must be the holy knights.

“Find her!”

‘I’ve already been caught.’

I hurried down the stairs.

I sprained my ankle while running down the dark passage.

“Ouch!”

It hurt a little, but there was no time to check the sprain. The sound of the footsteps was getting closer.

“She must be here! There’s a suspicious staircase!”

I hurriedly ran.

‘Quickly!’

The footsteps get closer.

All the faces I wanted to see popped up in my mind.

Dad, brothers, Lea, aunt, chairman, Seria, Emeline and Tri…

‘…Mom!’

As I earnestly called my mother, two paths appeared before my eyes.

Fortunately, I knew where the road led to.

This is because I came here out of curiosity in my first life and went to the entrance.

Left road and right road.

‘The entrance is on the left.’

***

Andre smirked at the anxious look of the pope.

“Do you think it’s boring to be with me?”

“No way.”

“Do you have any urgent business?”

“…….”

The pope looked at the window leading to the hallway.

[The saint has disappeared!]

Damn it, damn it!

Blood had splattered on the back of the pope’s hand.

She pretends to be meek, leaves people guilty, and pretends to give them a chance as she runs away.

He will surely find her and cut off her legs.

Next time, she will never leave his side.

Andre frowned at him and got his body up.

“If you’re busy, I’ll go back then.”

“……”

Andre said as he opened the door to the reception room.

“Is she here?”

“…Who are you referring to?”

“Of course-”

It was then,

“Andre!”

Leblaine, who ran from the opposite side, hugged Andre.

The pope’s face hardened, and Andre looked at her strangely.
