~ Chapter Nine ~

You and those priests of the royal palace…!

Because of you, that girl, Yuna is–!!

Hariet’s despair-filled cries echoed repeatedly in the depths of Asyut’s ears.

Yuna was in danger.

The instant that thought came Asyut broke into a run from that spot like a shot. Slipping through everyone who was taken aback, he wasn’t even able to care about Hariet, Rendo, and Madela, and left the bar at full speed.

(No, for them to come this far!)

He ran and ran and ran through the dark streets at night, aiming for the tallest tower in this town.

Let him make it on time. Please, let him make it on time.

Although it was a small town he felt that the distance to the church was extremely long. He was breathing hard and his breaths were so hot it seemed to burn the back of his throat. Because he rushed out empty-handed, only the moonlight was reliable in the night of the town where there were few street lights.

The church that he could faintly see in the distance under the cover of the night approached little by little. He saw a great number of large torch lights wriggling at the foot of that tower. One, two, three… Asyut clenched his teeth strongly at the large amount of lights which he couldn’t count right away.

And then, when he arrived at the church at last, there was a crowd of people around it.

The residents were staring in bewilderment at men clothed in priest robes. When he quickly sent his gaze around, there seemed to be three in all. They were straddling horses and staring at the entrance as if surrounding the church. In addition, there were more than ten men who looked like mercenaries. Each and every one was carrying a weapon and facing the church in the same way.

What was being pierced by their arrogant gazes was – ah, what was with this – just one person, the old priest Maurice who was Yuna’s grandfather. He stood in the way of the church’s entrance with his old body and was desperately confronting the priests so as not to let them enter inside.

(The priests– are they priests under Roblin. Or…)

Asyut grit his teeth strongly. –Or the king’s pursuing party?

In any case, this situation was the worst.

What Yuna’s parents were afraid of had become reality. The royal palace’s envoy had finally discovered the existence of Yuna, the miraculous sleeping girl and the “imposter saint”, and were trying to take her away as a wicked thing to the royal palace.

“No matter how much these are orders of priests from the royal palace I cannot step aside here!”

He could hear Maurice’s protesting with a voice that was already hoarse.

Asyut forced his way through the crowd, moving forward little by little while feeling heart-stricken.

“Please, as people who believe equally in God, I beg of you to stop and lower your weapons!”

But it was not seen at all that the priests were moved by that appeal. Even though he appealed with all his heart, it was clear they had no intention in the least to overlook him.
