Chapter 131: Chapter 131
“Oh, not necessarily, Lady Monique. As the disconnected muscles are connected again after healing, they are not the same as before immediately. If he takes a full rest for a couple of months, they will be the same as before. ”
“Really? How fortunate!”
“You are very warm-hearted, child of God’s prophecy. I think you deserve the love of our God.”
“… Thank you.”
Love of our God? I wanted to ask him whether God really loves me, but it was pointless to ask the high priest who didn’t know the situation.
Smiling faintly with a bit of appreciation of my gratitude, he said, pulling his hands from Carsein’s wounds.
“All done.”
Thank you, Your Eminence.”
“You’re welcome.”
When he turned after replying coldly, my father, who had stayed in the room since he checked Carsein’s wounds, bowed to him. With his bow down, the high priest said in a mysterious voice,
“May the blessings of life be bestowed on you. Spear of the empire, this is Tertius, the third root of Vita, our God. ”
“You again changed your name. This is Keiran la Monique, head of the Marquis Monique family. Thank you for your help in curing my daughter and Carsein.”
It was customary for the Great Priest to introduce again when his name changed.
“Everything depends on the will of our God who reigns over it. Sometimes people misunderstand Him.”
“… It is a pity that human beings are foolish, so they cannot properly interpret God’s will. ”
The Great Priest smiled slightly at my father’s response. My father, who looked at him calmly, said in a respectful manner, “It’s a little late, but I would like to serve you dinner if you don’t mind.”
“Oh, I’m afraid I can’t eat today.”
“I see.”
“But this is also how God leads us here. How about seeing me separately next time, Lady Monique? Let me contact you.”
“…Pardon?”
‘Why is he suddenly involving me here?’
When I looked at him in surprise, he said with a mysterious smile, “It was the knight over there who needed my divine power from the beginning. So I would like to get paid additionally for healing you, Lady Monique.”
“If that’s the case, I will surely repay at the temple.”
“No, I’m now saying. I would like to have the lady pay me in person later.”
“… Your Eminence.”
“I was hoping to leave the empire within a few days, but I don’t want to miss the chance to see the child of God’s prophecy up close.”
My father’s eyebrows wiggled. He felt that Carsein and Sir Seymour were watching him.
‘What does he want?’
I looked at the high priest’s light grey eyes, but couldn’t read anything. He just had a slight smile on his lips. I nodded, holding back a sigh. I didn’t want to get entangled with the temple as much as possible, but I had no cause to refuse it.
The Great Priest smiled at me quickly and got out of the room after slightly bowing to me.
The sound of his long, long gray hair rustling on the floor was fading away.
“… Sorry, sir. It seems that Lady Monique has gotten entangled with the temple because of me,” said Carsein.
“Oh, no, Carsein. I’m not sure why he wants to see my daughter separately. Stay here for a minute. Let me go and see him off first.”
“Sure.”
“Well, I’m going to leave to report to the crown prince.”
“Take care, Sir Seymour. Thank you very much. ”
I sat down beside Carsein, staring blankly at my father and Sir Seymour leaving the room.
‘How could so many complicated things happen to me in a single day?’
Carsein, who looked at me sighing, grinned and said, “That’s why I’m calling you a little girl.”
“Huh?”
“Where are you sitting down now? I’m not wearing a shirt right now. ”
I blushed. Carsein stopped me from standing up and laughed out loud.
“It’s already late, young lady.”
“Hey, put on your shirt first.”
“Don’t you think you’re so mean, Tia? Even if I was treated by divine power, how can you tell me to put on a shirt by myself when I had a dagger stabbed in the shoulder until a moment ago?”
“Oh sorry. Let me help you.”
I hastily stood up and grabbed the shirt on his shoulder. Then I put it on him cautiously, who gave his arm, with all smiles on his face.
