Chapter 90
Proofreader: somnium
The priest was in his room.
Originally, the life in a temple is like a mousewheel. It wasn’t difficult to find out that the priest would be in the room at this time, even after just a day or two of observation.
Furthermore, he was contemplating a complex problem. It was fully predictable that the time he spent staying alone in the room would be longer.
“Your Grace.”
The priest opened the door, and he bowed his head in surprise to see Artizea.
Artizea glanced at him to enter. The priest hurriedly went back inside.
Artizea left Alphonse outside and closed the door.
“Sit.”

“Oh, yes.”
Like last time, the priest sat on the bed.
Artizea pulled the chair herself and sat down.
“I’ve noticed a little of what the priest has said.”
“Yes.”
“You’re right. There was a village on the north side of the Thold Gate, where mostly families of mixed Karam lived.”
“It’s terrible.”
Hearing the name of mixed Karam blood, the priest made a cross. Just thinking about it seemed to make him shiver.
“The Grand Duke is too weak in heart. It is much more benevolent of the father or mother to dispose of the seeds of sin quickly.”

Artizea hid the bitter smile. And she said with a serious face.
“Just being thrown out of the temple will be punishment enough for them.”
“It’s not a punishment. How dare the devil put his foot on the temple?”
“Priest.”
Artizea sighed a little.
“The Karam mixed race created a village north of Thold. Well, I don’t think that’s important. Even if someone else has helped them, how can a person easily ignore a family member or relative?”
“Yes…. I understand Your Grace’s heart. But….”
“Please pardon the individuals, but I think I can’t forgive a vassal who did this without even the Grand Duke’s knowledge.”
Artizea said in a soft voice. The priest nodded his head.

“The Grand Duke will also know about this. It is the cause of the war, so he can’t go into it without knowing the fact. I will find the person who caused it and punish them.”
“Ah! That’s right! Good thing.”
“But, things aren’t good right now. Some time ago, there was an incident with the Jordyn family, and now there is a threat from Karam at the Thold gate, so you will have to be cautious.”
“I know what you mean.”
“Did you write a letter to the Temple in advance?”
Asked Artizea. The priest nodded.
“Then, give it to me now. I’m going to the capital soon, but I won’t deliver that letter right away.”
“Then… what do you mean?”
“If Priest becomes aware of new news or has an important cause that needs the letter to be delivered to the Temple immediately, please contact me again.”

That’s what Artizea said.
“Then, I’ll make sure to deliver Priest’s letter to the Temple right away.”
“But what if the news is intercepted or someone manipulates it?”
The priest said with a face full of concern.
Artizea smiled little.
In her opinion, only Freil and Ansgar were the only ones who had the right heads in Evron Grand Duchy. Ansgar wouldn’t be involved in this matter.
However, the key point was that the priest thought so.
Artizea opened her handbag and pulled out a silver seal from within.
“I’ll give you this.”

“Is this Your Grace’s seal?”
“I used it before I got married.”
When Artizea said so, she showed the shape of the seal.
It was a seal engraved with a vine rose pattern that would be used by premarital young ladies who did not have any rights to the family.
“If you press here like this, the pattern changes.”
After Artizea pressed one of the ornaments on the seal, she showed it back to the priest.
Part of the bottom engravings of the seal have risen. As the petals of the vine rose were turned into reliefs, they were almost the same, but changed the seal into a different feel. The border has also changed.
“This is what I used when I got a private letter from a friend that I didn’t want to show my mother, Priest.”
She said it was her friend, but the priest soon understood what she meant.

What kind of person Miraila was, even a priest in this distant land heard rumors. She was a person who would tear open and inspect her daughter’s letter.
“I got it back because I don’t need it anymore, but my maid knows this changed seal.”
“I understand what you mean. If I have anything serious to contact, I will stamp this seal and send it to Your Grace’s maid.”
“Yes. Then it will be delivered to me intact.”
It was a complete lie.
Artizea never had a separate seal or anything else before the marriage.
She only informed Alice of the pattern of the seal this time. It was in order to accept the letter if there was any real contact from the priest.
Of course, it was very unlikely. It’s because she doesn’t really give it to be used for sealing.
This seal was equipped with an elaborate device.
