Chapter 135 (1/2)
Chapter 135
Proofreader: somnium
Alphonse took a step forward. He was so large and well-armed that he alone was threatening.
“Then I will go in by myself and see Her Grace.”
“Are you saying that the temple is forcefully holding Marchioness Rosan right now?”
“I am not saying that the temple is imprisoning Her Grace.”
Alphonse said without much thought.
However, the priests, who did not know the circumstances, were stirred up. Because the connection between the word confinement and Evron Grand Duchy raised suspicions.
If Grand Duchess Evron is here to voluntarily repent, wouldn’t it be a good idea to show up for a moment and reassure the knights.
Of course, Bishop Akim couldn’t let that happen.

He had already heard reports that Artizea had fainted. Showing her in her present state to the knights proved that she was in captivity. There is also a witness which was her lady-in-waiting.
He had no idea how the hell he knew and ran here so fast. Bishop Akim in his heart cursed the priests who were monitoring Artizea.
It means either he was absurdly late to report to him, or that he didn’t stop any news from coming out.
He had to stop them for now. In the meantime, he was planning to move Artizea and Hayley to another place first.
Negotiations must be made with Artizea. That stupid Knights of Evron must have been spreading rumors all over the place by now. Then there is agitation in the temple.
Morale was on the rise among the low-ranking priests. They are united internally and externally and follow the heresy inquisitor. He couldn’t ruin the atmosphere.
Above all else, resigning from this will damage his authority.
“Stand down.”
“This is my last apology, Bishop. After this, it will not be a request.”

Alphonse slowly placed his left hand on the hilt.
That wasn’t a sign that he was going to draw his sword right away. He confirmed that he was armed.
However, following him, the knights all at once touched the hilt.
Shudder-.
Even though not a single handle had been pulled, the sound of iron rubbing reverberated through the air.
Like a battlefield, there was a whirlwind of momentum that was about to explode.
The priests took a breath. There were also those who took a step backwards. Because they knew that Alphonse was serious about attacking.
But Bishop Akim was not cowardly enough to succumb to force. He straightened his body and shouted arrogantly.
“The Lord must be a faithful person. Do you know what this sacred temple is doing!”

But the word returned to him the other direction.
Cedric appeared from behind the knights. Even the Archbishop was with Cedric.
“That is something I would like to ask, Bishop Akim. Why should the escort knight I commanded to guard my wife have to do this?”
Cedric said.
“Hey, Akim!”
The Archbishop raised his voice. Bishop Akim gasped with nervousness.
“Archbishop, this is, how… … .”
“Your Grace!”
Alphonse was startled and bowed his head.

He was completely unaware that Cedric had arrived in the capital. Even though the knights opened the way, they could not hide their surprise.
When the priests saw the Archbishop, they in unison bent one knee and bowed down.
Cedric spoke again to Bishop Akim in a cold voice.
“If my knights claims that my wife is imprisoned here aren’t true, then there’s no reason to stop them like this, Bishop.”
“Grand Duke Evron…….”
Bishop Akim groaned.
How is Cedric here? This made no sense.
There was no way that Cedric could have kept an eye on the trends while working in Evron Grand Duchy.
Even so, due to the news of the war at the Thold Gate, Grand Duke Roygar’s intelligence network was operating at its maximum capacity.

Not only Grand Duke Roygar, but also the Emperor’s information network and Lawrence’s information network moved. The target groups also wanted to know the situation in the north.
Because the war moved supplies at an unprecedentedly large scale for political reasons.
Dozens of carrier pigeons flew almost every day. As the sea cleared up, even the businesses set up a small group and headed north.
Bishop Akim also sent a letter to the priests to inquire about the news.
However, the news from any source was all similar.
The Karam troops gathered in front of the Thold Gate did not disband despite two clashes and losses. The army was gradually replenishing, and now the number has increased to 25,000.
Even during the war, Karam would climb north of the road when the weather got warmer.
This time, however, they settled down within the reach of the bombardment.
This was, in fact, an intentionally falsified information leak to blind Karam from negotiating.

But Bishop Akim had no reason to doubt the information gathered from multiple sources.
Bishop Akim knew that the sea route had been opened a few weeks ago.
But they were still at war. There was no way Cedric could clear the Thold Gate.
Why is Cedric here?
This would break all preconditions.
The conspiracy to drive Artizea into treason is established under the condition that Cedric would accept Grand Duke Roygar’s compensation plan.
Everything had to be done while he concentrated on the work of the northern border.
When he found out after it had already become unavoidable, Cedric would admit that he was better off being rewarded for the sake of his wife.
But Bishop Akim realized just now that Cedric was a man who would never negotiate over his family.

Cedric spoke again.
“Would you like to stop me even if I wanted to go in?”
Bishop Akim looked at the Archbishop.
