Trash of the Count's Family

< The reason for remembering (2)>

“Saint? I am not a Saint, Bishop-nim.”

“Commander-nim.”

Grab. The bishop suddenly grasped one of Cale's hands.

‘How the hell does an old man have such a strong grip?!’

Cale was shocked at the strong grasp that felt as if the bishop was holding onto a golden rope. However, the bishop simply smiled with sincerity and warmth. He also had a look that was full of a sense of duty.

- Human! The bishop's gaze is weird!

‘I know, right?’

Cale could see through the fake sincere look of duty because of the bishop's burning gaze.

‘I guess he wants to become the Pope.’

On the other hand, the bishop was observing Cale’s expression.

‘...There was no reaction at all even when I called him Saint. This calmness... It is surprising.’

Bishop Tolis, the person in charge of the Church of the God of Death in the Roan Kingdom, used magic to fly over from Puzzle City immediately after a knight told him that Cale left for the capital with the crown prince.

“It has been a very long time since our god personally bestowed a divine item with a Divine Oracle to the Church of the God of Death. Furthermore, this is the first time in the history of the church that our lord directed a divine item to an individual.”

His voice was warm unlike his burning gaze.

"This is no insignificant matter.”

The Church of the God of Death did not have a Saint or a Holy Maiden.

"Commander-nim, our lord has chosen you.”

The bishop was hoping for something to be true.

He wanted this Commander to not be a very good hero yet.

It would also be fine if this Commander had a strong desire for fame and glory.

If neither of those, maybe at least the desire to gain even more power.

However, the Commander in front of him was truly like the man who had achieved such much merit in just two years.

He needed to cast aside any half-baked hopes.

The bishop approved of Cale after hearing what he had to say next.

“Bishop-nim. Terrible things have happened in multiple locations throughout the capital and many people have been hurt.”

He understood why the God of Death would choose this person.

The bishop immediately responded to him.

“Why do you think I brought so many priests here, Commander-nim? They are not my guards.”

The knight next to them chimed in.

“They are healing priests, Commander-nim.”

“We have already sent some to the Royal Palace as well. We are slightly lacking in manpower because we left most of the high-grade priests at Puzzle City, but there will be priests coming from the nearby temples to make up for their absence.”

Cale realized something after hearing the bishop's comment.

‘He is someone who knows what he needs to do as bishop.’

The bishop who came to look for Cale as he understood the value of the divine item that appeared in the Roan Kingdom...

Although this guy was greedy for the position of Pope, he was someone who knew what he needed to do as Bishop and as the person in charge of the kingdom's church.

‘This changes things.’

The bishop continued to speak as Cale scoped him out.

“I simply came today to inform you that such a thing has happened. I will be on my way now as I am sure that you are busy, Commander-nim.”

‘Wow. He knows when to back down as well.’

Something that would put fear in the hearts of the citizens of the kingdom had just happened in the capital. But the Church of the God of Death is causing a scene about a holy item?

It was not a wise choice in front of the citizens who are worried for their lives.

The bishop was clearly aware of this.

‘He’s smarter than I thought.’

Cale had neither a good nor bad impression of the Church of the God of Death since they had excommunicated priestess Cage, but, if he had to choose one direction, he would say that he had a bad impression of them.

“Bishop-nim.”

Cale thought that he could communicate with this bishop who knew when to back down.

“I will go visit the Church of the God of Death in the near future. May we chat at that time?”

“Of course, Commander-nim.”

The knight who brought the bishop over and Choi Han looked at the bishop in shock. It was because the bishop was acting completely differently from the guy who strongly emphasized that he needed to meet Cale when they were down below.

“Then I will be on my way now.”

“Yes, Bishop-nim. I will contact you and visit you soon.”

“I understand.”

The bishop retreated without any hesitation. He turned around and started to walk before stopping for a moment to look at Cale.

"Commander-nim. I believe that it would be difficult to sever this relationship between you and the Church of the God of Death from now on. So, please remember this.”

The knight barely held back from gasping.

‘Being involved with the Church. From the Royal Family to the church, now there is nobody in this world who would dare to mess with the Commander-nim.’

Well, it wasn’t as if anybody was going to mess with Cale Henituse and the Duke's House of Henituse anyway.

The bishop said something else that shocked the knight once more.

“Please remember that our Roan Kingdom's Church of the God of Death is always behind you, Commander-nim. Please contact us whenever you may need our assistance.”

Cale chuckled internally at the Bishop specifying that it was the Roan Kingdom's Church of the God of Death and not all Churches of the God of Death and responded somewhat sincerely.

“Thank you very much, Bishop-nim.”

The bishop then smiled as if he was satisfied before quietly walking back. He motioned with his hand toward the knight who tried to follow him to stop him and then approached the around 20 priests who came with him.
