Chapter 67: CH 65.2

Finally, a message came from the Holy See. There were unsavory rumors related to black magic circulating in the capital, and they were sending a team to confirm them.

Andrei sent a reply to the Holy See to do as he wished, and at the same time informed the Orlov mansion of this fact.

“Mi- Mikael. Will it really be okay like this?”

Yul asked as he tapped his small feet in his nervousness. He had heard of the strategy from Mikael, but it was because he was not at ease.

“It will be fine.”

“But…”

“Even if it’s not fine, Yuri, I will protect you, so don’t worry.”

“By what means!”

“It’s not bad to strike the Holy See at this time. They’ve been a nuisance.”

“Ahhh, what blasphemous sounds?!”

Yul flinched at Mikael’s calm words.

He led a peaceful life in his own way and forgot about it once, but he was an irreplaceable gwanggong in the original work. It was Mikael who could boast of his appearance as a gwanggong at any time.

Even Emperor Andrei would be out of his mind if he made the terrifying remark about striking the Holy See which he couldn’t recklessly deal with.

“To strike the Holy See, no matter how much you say it, Mikael, you will be in big trouble!”

Yul waved his short arms around and nagged at him. No matter how much of a gwanggong he was, how dare he dare to touch the Holy See? Otherwise, he could die…

“Gasp.”

Yul was frightened and covered his mouth with his small hands. It was because he remembered the contents of the original work that he had forgotten. His breathing quickened in surprise. Of course, his big eyes trembled helplessly.

“What’s wrong, Yuri?”

Despite Mikael’s question, Yul couldn’t say anything. It was because he remembered the shocking ending of ‘Red Prison’ that he couldn’t remember at all no matter how hard he tried to remember it.

In the original story, Mikael rebelled against the imperial family to find Levi. However, this rebellion did not go as expected. It was because the Holy See intervened.

They did not want the Orlov family, who had greater power than the imperial family, to hold the imperial power. It was because it was evident that if Archduke Orlov became emperor, the power that had been equally divided between the imperial family and the Holy See would be shifted to the imperial family.

Because of this, they sent the Holy Knights, who normally do not move, into the war. In the process, Mikael met his death.

After learning of Mikael’s death, Levi belatedly realizes that he did not simply hate him, but actually loved him, and lived in a state of fascination and eventually died, a catastrophic ending among catastrophes.

“Mikael, never! You must never touch the Holy See, never! No, let alone touch it, don’t even think about touching it. all right?!”

“Why?”

“Why! It’s the Holy See! Andrei said it too. If you go against them, he’ll turn into a tyrant. That’s how dangerous it is to touch the Holy See!”

Yul couldn’t bear to tell Mikael the contents of the original story he had just thought of, so he made excuses by bringing up Andrei as well. However, Mikael only shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened.

“Ah, anyway, you really don’t listen. Like no other gwanggong!”

“Speaking of gwanggong, when are you going to become a human?”

“What does that have to do with that? And how would I know that?”

Yul grumbled at Mikael’s question, who didn’t even listen to what he was saying. But Mikael’s face was serious. Yul looked at his face and felt something strange.

“But why?”

“I can’t progress because you look like a doll. I can’t even kiss you.”

“…”

“I don’t like it.”

Yul could not respond to his sincere words. Besides, his red eyes glowed with burning lust.

Rather, he thought that continuing to live as a doll would be a way to protect his butt, and for the first time, he even thought that he wanted to live as a doll rather than a human.

“There are many things I want to do, Yuri.”

“…”

“With you, of course, with a human body.”

Yul covered his mouth with a small fist of cotton at the scenes of Beautiful Life unfolding like a panorama in his head.

The news that the Holy See’s investigation team was entering the capital spread far and wide. The news that the target of the pursuit was the Archduke Orlov was also spreading knowingly.

“I greet Your Majesty the Emperor. We are a 5-person investigation team from the Holy See.”

When the priest, the eldest member of the team, greeted them, the atmosphere in the imperial family cooled.

The team consists of 7 members. The maximum number of priests dispatched by the Holy See was 5. However, the fact that 5 priests were dispatched meant that they would occupy the overwhelming majority of the investigation team. This was a part of the Holy See’s will to keep the imperial family in check and to find traces of black magic in Archduke Orlov without fail.

In all other respects, the opinion of the Holy See was the highest priority in relation to black magic, so the imperial family had to follow it.

“Five people, it took a lot of work to move a lot of people.”

Andrei expressed his discomfort in a roundabout way. Of course, everyone in him understood his intentions.

“Since Archduke Orlov, who made the greatest contribution in establishing our Wydefia Empire, has been caught up in an unsavory scandal, a considerable number of people are requested to gather to recover the lost honor of the Archduke by grasping the facts in detail”

The old priest Paulo, even though he understood the intentions of Emperor Andrei, was not undaunted and rather implied it means that the scandal surrounding the Orlov family must be revealed. And with a strong will to do so.

Recognizing this, Andrei’s face darkened. He glanced at Mikael involuntarily. At the center of all these incidents, he seemed rather unconcerned. While he was relieved by the sight, he was just as worried.

“I, too, hope that the scandal will be cleared and my honor fully restored. I look forward to it.”

Mikael did not give in and replied. His confident and cool attitude, as usual, made Paul wonder inside. He, too, could not be unaware of the Holy See’s intention to imprison him, but he showed no sign of fear.

Having received the Pope’s secret order to find traces of black magic and deal with Archduke Orlov, he was in trouble. But he couldn’t show off. He was good at acting as much as he had years of experience. He smiled softly and nodded his head lightly.

“Very well. I will do my best to restore the honor of the Archduke.”

“I’m assured.”

Mikael replied briefly. It was, after all, a bold and unpretentious attitude.

Andrei, who watched the scene quietly, calmed his anxious heart and opened his mouth with a dignified voice.

“Then let’s move to the Grand Duchy.”

* * *

As Emperor, Andrei was unable to attend the search. Therefore, he and his aide remained in the imperial family, and only the seven members of the investigation team went to the Archduke Orlov’s residence.

There was a tense feeling of tension in the palace. The servants in the Archduke’s residence also heard rumors about the black magic involved in the Archduke. Of course, he had been seen acting differently lately, such as going out recently, but they thought it was unreasonable to associate that action with black magic.

Above all, what the people of the Archduke’s residence, as well as those outside of the Archduke’s residence, could not understand the most was what the Archduke Orlov was hung up about that would cause him to dabble in black magic.

The Archduke had no lack. One couldn’t understand why he was interested in black magic that could cause him to lose everything.

Of course, there were a few opinions that he had his eyes on black magic in search of new stimulation because he had everything.

“Excuse my rudeness, we will search the Archduke’s room first.”

“As you wish.”

To Paulo’s words, Mikael responded casually. The priests under Paulo vigorously opened the door. And they were speechless at the sight unfolding before their eyes.
