Chapter 19 (2/2)

Hwaaak!

Earl Wellington pushed a bit of aura in to his hershi+on, which shone purple and evaporated the blood in an instant All traces of battle gone froe

“Come outside”

After a bit of waiting, Archbishop Aznan practically crawled out of the carriage

His face was pale white with terror Isabelle followed behind hi in fear

“Heup”

Isabelle blocked the gasp co out froe When could she possibly have seen another scene like this, when she had been treated like a flower inside of a pot?

“Who are you? Why would you commit such a heinous crime…”

Earl Wellington’s eyes shone with killing intent at the Archbishop’s words

“Heinous crime? You dare to utter those words with your mouth?”

“It seems like you are an auraWhy are you opposing the church of Flora?”

Earl Wellington smirked

“Every action has a reason behind it”

“…”

“Do you remember the name Lena?”

Archbishop Aznan’s face turned even whiter He had just been re the whole deed

“Are you from the church of Maal?”

“Lena was hter”

Aznan closed his eyes How could he possibly have known that the wohter of an aura master?

“I can say nothing to defend myself on that matter, so you may kill me But please, do not touch the lady who may become a Saintess”

“You pretend to be righteous until the end; how hateful”

Earl Wellington sprayed killing intent as he walked towards Aznan and pushed out his sword

Peupeupeupeuk

The Archbishop’s face scrunched up in pain In the blink of an eye, his body was covered with tens of bloody holes, as blood dyed his pure white robe as it splashed down Aznan dropped kneeling on the ground, as his knee joint had also been cut

Earl Wellington’s burning eyes slowly turned to Isabelle

Isabelle could only tre spirit that the auraon fro in fear

“I will ask you only one thing”

“…”

“Will you turn your back on the church of Flora and become a member of our church?”

The Archbishop screamed out as soon as the words left the earl’s mouth

“No! That will not happen”

“I a to you the consequences of your actions”

“Ev-Even so, you cannot!”

Archbishop Aznan, face pale from the loss of blood, tried desperately to convince Isabelle

“Re-Remember the honor of your house Should you turn your back on us, the honor of the Lea House…”

“I can no longer bear your voice”

A cold sound rang out along with a flash of purple light

Kwadang

Aznan fell backwards with his hands around his neck There was a gaping hole in his neck that sprayed blood as he tried to speak, but the only thing co out of his mouth were bubbles of blood

Earl Wellington’s gaze turned once more towards Isabelle

“Answer me Will you betray the church of Flora and become a member of our church?”

Isabelle, still tre, opened her mouth

“If I don’t do so, will you kill me?”

Earl Wellington did not answer

“I accept your offer I never worshi+pped the Goddess Flora in the first place, so it won’t be a betrayal, but I will become a member of your church”

Archbishop Aznan squir

“Euah, euah”

Earl Wellington frowned and lifted his sword

Bunjjuk

His sword did not seeround, separated from his body

Degururururu

The head rolled on the ground, and Isabelle turned pale white A chilling voice crept out from under the silver helmet

“You do not care about the honor of your house?”

“I think I have done enough for my house”

“You wish to live that badly”

Tears began to fall from Isabelle’s eyes

“It’s not because I want to live There is someone I must meet before I die If I cannot see him, then…”

She could not finish the rest of her words, as her throat locked up froh and sheathed his sword

“You are lucky, Bishop Rain It is as you wished”

“Thank goodness”
