âYes, if you donât come back in three hoursâŚ. â
âThatâs not gonna happen. â
âNo, if you donât return in three hours, I will send troops right away. I made it clear, itâs only three hours. Priest Bishop.â
Trans lated by Jp ď˝t l.ď˝ o ď˝ âOkay, Iâll be back in three hours. â
âThe condition is not to use propaganda for this meeting. You must tell me. And soon after you came backâŚ. â
âYevkarina, let me tell you what Iâve been talking about. â
âYes, please. Senior Priest Bishop. â
âNo, thank you more this way. It must have been a lot of favors⌠Then Iâll go. â
âWe will go out with you to the entrance. â
Exactly two hours and 22 minutes ago, the conversation continued to linger in memory. Of course, it was a good idea to think about it.
Tr an s l a t ed b y ď˝p m t l .co m While it was not impossible to communicate among the fighting forces during the exhibition, this was certainly an exception.
I didnât even ask for permission from the top troops. Honorary Cardinal Lee meets senior priests in the Republic.
I never imagined Iâd be able to accept what I had offered earlier.
You donât think itâs a trap? â
As far as the Church is concerned, itâs a trap. The Republic was mainly propaganda about slandering the Honorable Cardinal Lee and actually pointed him out publicly on the continent.
However, his appearance, which was waiting at the meeting place, seemed too calm. A face that I didnât really think was a trap.
Even though I only met him briefly, he still smiled quietly.
He believed that the Republican faction would do no such thing.
âNo⌠Why didnât I go in with Priest Bishop?â â
Whatâs your excuse for saying you have to protect this place? In fact, the answer is already out.
âI couldnât believe it wouldnât shake. â
It was the same word. His values would have been afraid that the republic he believed in would collapse.
Itâs true that you want to know the truth. But I am not confident to face him in person. I thought it was contradictory, but I couldnât help it. Iâm a coward.
âIâm the one who has to fightâŚâ â
I looked out the window and saw a small tent that they were still talking about.
Tra n sl at e d b y jpď˝ tl.coď˝ Of course I want to know what kind of conversation is going on. It was then that I heard a voice from the side.
âAre you all right, Yevkarina? â
âAh. There you are. â
â âŚâŚ. â
âItâs going to be okay. They wouldnât have done anything too conspicuous. No matter how informal the dialogue is, itâs the dialogue of priests. Senior Priest Bishop wonât do anything stupid like that either. â
âI see. Senior Priest Bishop⌠â
âYou have nothing to worry about. Thereâs a little bit of a blockage, but heâs really what the Republic needs. I would never do anything that would harm my country. You donât seem to hate us from his perspective. We are strangers.â
âI suppose so. â
âYes.â
âBut, Carina, â
âYes.â
âWhy? â
âWhy? â
âYes, I honestly donât understand. Of course, itâs because of Priest Bishopâs face⌠â
âWell, I donât know. I really do.â
Tran sla t e d b y ď˝p ď˝ t l .c o m â âŚâŚ. â
âIâm not doubting you. But this war is out there somewhere. that weâre moving into someone elseâs scenario. MaybeâŚ.â
âYes.â
âMaybe the war started in the Republics first. Iâm not sure, but thereâs a good chance. â
âThatâs âŚ. â
âItâs a personal idea. And itâs the idea of suppressing it as much as possible. Of course, even if the Republic is not well, I will stand by the Republic, by your side. That doesnât change. Tsk, tsk. ButâŚ. â
âYes.â
âI want to know what the truth is. I donât want to be dragged around blind. Thatâs why I nodded my head to Priest Bishopâs proposal. You need to know what youâre fighting for. At least I am. â
âI see.â
âHavenât you ever doubted the Republic? â
âItâs not gone⌠but I donât think Iâve ever thought about it as deeply as Carina. Of course, I understand what Carina has in mind. But⌠I donât think itâs a good idea to fall too far into it. Come to think of it, you always said you were worried about Carina. â
âAre you sure?â
âYes, you said that thinking deeply is a strength, but falling too far behind is a weakness. He also said that he doesnât fit in the battlefield because of his personality⌠â
I laughed bitterly. It was because I was proud, but empathetic enough.
Thatâs why I was assigned to guard, not to go in. Thatâs why Iâm fighting with Everia, not with Castle Rock.
âYou know very well. The militaryâŚâ T r a n sl at ed b y p mtl .coď˝
âBut thatâs why he said he would shine more in places like this. â
â âŚâŚ. â
â âŚâŚ. â
âHaha, thatâs good news. I canât believe youâre thinking about me⌠This is really good news. â
âThere must be a reason why you should never trust his words, Cardinal Lee. â
âYes. That too⌠â
âThere must be a reason. â
âYou said thatâs why weâre fighting. a little while ago. â
âYes, thatâs right, Wing. â
âIs it not enough to fight for those who trust Carina now? â
âAhâŚ. â
Of course, it made me feel clear in my head for some reason. It felt like everything that was complicated was being organized at once.
Of course, there is nothing organized. The seeds of doubt were still growing in my heart, and my head aches because of my thoughts.
But I feel like I know what to do. You have to do whatâs right in front of you. Thatâs all for now.
Either way, the battle will happen, and a lot of people will die if you make a mistake. The fact that soldiers in the Republic and soldiers in the state collide is inevitable.
It is already determined which side is an ally and which side is an enemy.
âI see⌠Yes, I see. â
A faint smile spreads over your mouth. It was ridiculous to forget such a simple thing. Tactics are a way to win effectively. Win battles with minimal damage to allies. We have a job to do.
âLetâs start getting up. Itâs been three hours. â
âYes, Carina. â

Priest Bishop showed his face shortly after I moved my feet. I was a little surprised, Cardinal Lee Young-young.
That heâs walking with us. Of course, the escorts won together, but the appearance was a little strange.
Your eyes are a little torn, your nose is clever, and your lips look strangely red. Itâs hard to say that heâs overall handsome, but he feels dirty wherever he is.
However, I noticed a very good-looking face when I smiled.
âIâve heard stories. Yeta Carina. Thank you for making the difficult decision. â
âNo, Your Eminence. You must keep your promise. This conversation⌠â
âOf course, I wonât use propaganda. Thatâs how you talk about God⌠I donât enjoy it either⌠What do you think? I donât think itâs a good idea to break up like this, but at least we can talk together⌠â
âNo, Iâll be right back. I appreciate the favor, but Iâm the enemy now. Iâll see you when this is all over. If we donât die together⌠Iâll find you first. â
âRight, if we donât die together⌠yes. Thatâs your decision.â
â âŚâŚ. â
âUnfortunately⌠umm⌠no⌠umm⌠thatâs too bad. I donât want a fight either⌠but I need you to understand the situation weâre in. Carina.â
âOf course I understand. Neither are you⌠This way. Iâll see you on the battlefield. â
âYes, I donât know if the meeting place will be a battlefield⌠but please take care of it.â Goodbye, then. â
It was no wonder that I could see him turning his back slowly. Even the voice of conversation is heard.
âI came all the way out here like you said, but I donât want this to happen next time. I have a heartbeat, and youâre okay with it? â
âWhy wouldnât I be? I only believe. Ducky, them and you. â
âWell, I appreciate the gesture, but Iâm a little embarrassed. Weâd better get back to work soon. Maybe a chaser will follow us. â
âThatâs not gonna happen. â
âYouâre so trusting, Tal. â
The person youâre talking to must be the warrior you saw in the goddessâ mirror.
A car that I thought looked familiar for some reason. Though I was interested, I immediately turned my head. Itâs because I heard a voice coming from the front.
âWhat do I do? Mr. Carina, the Rangers⌠â
âNo, we donât have to do that⌠weâll meet anyway. â
âYes, well, Iâll do that. â
âDid you have a better conversation with Priest Bishop? â
â âŚâŚ. â
âPriest Bishop? â
âOh⌠you called? â
âYes, did you talk wellâŚ. â
âWell, yes. I spent a little more time thinking I was a better man than I thought I was. Iâm sorry about this. â
âNo, Iâm fine. â
âHmm⌠I still want to fight⌠â
âYes, I have to. Perhaps the same is true of the Cardinal of Honor, who cannot change the situation. Itâs an unforgivable situationâŚ. â
âToo bad. â
âHave you cleared your mind, Priest? â
âItâs kind of fuzzy to say itâs been solved, but I feel a little better. I think I know what heâs thinking⌠and I think I know who he is. If this old manâs eyes are clear, he can say he is a messenger chosen by God. No, Iâm sure of it. He is a saint chosen by the goddess Benigore. â
âIs that true? â
âOh myâŚ. â
âThen the Lyos incidentâŚ. â
âHe couldnât have done it. Heâs not like that. Youâre a terrible liar. He was also concerned about the blood⌠and the expressionâ saint âmatched. By the way⌠â
âStill⌠we intend to fight. â
âI seeâŚ. â
âThank you for your understanding. â
â âŚâŚ. â
â âŚâŚ. â
âWhatâs in your hand⌠â
âAh, wine. â
âYes?â
âHavenât you heard of the sacred wine that only the high priests of the Church can drink? Iâve had a few more today. I was told to bring it as a gift.You donât have to worry about it because itâs poisoned or dangerous. Would you like to come in for a drink? â
âNo, IâŚ. â
âWeâre not talking about getting drunk together. Carina, listen to me for a second. â
âThatâs âŚ. â
âItâs going to be a fairly important story. â
