All weapons for the coup are ready.
The armorer made protective hats and armor that complemented the previous ones.
“I feel like a really successful knight when I wear these clothes.”
Knox was fascinated by his reflection in the mirror and tried out various poses.
“...You can just ignore it.”
Giovanni spoke to Duke Howard and the Marquis of Huppert, who were sitting in front of him.
However, Duke Howard could not simply ignore Knox as Giovanni had said.
Because the guy who was playing the clown in front of me was my own son!
“Nothing has changed.”
Duke Howard, who had hoped that Knox might have matured while he was gone, soon drank water with a disappointed expression on his face.
The Marquis of Huppert looked at Lord Howard with pity.
'I wonder if the Duke will ever see his daughter-in-law.'
Not knowing that his own daughter was in love with that very fool Knox.
"By the way, how's the construction going on at Delina House? My friends were wondering."
It seems that the rumors began to spread after the Delina House, which was also an important social gathering place for the nobility, was closed for several days.
"We're currently renovating the interior while we're at it. It should be finished within this month, so please wait a little longer."
“Really? I liked the original interior, but I wonder how it will change.”
Duke Howard, who had been listening quietly, also opened his mouth.
"But didn't you say the guys who attacked there were the Giuliano Organization? Did you charge them for the damages?"
At that, Knox interjected in an excited voice.
"It's not about the repair costs! It's about those Giulianos who made this handsome face like this."
Knox pointed to the bruises scattered all over his face.
“Isn’t the leg with the cast more serious?”
Knox shook his head at Marquis Huppert's words.
“My legs will heal quickly, so it doesn’t matter. But my face is my life!”
“Don’t worry, Knox, your appearance isn’t something that can be linked to life.”
At Giovanni's words, Knox and Duke Howard's eyebrows simultaneously rose.
"I liked the look, but what you said is a bit much. Knox doesn't look like that?"
However, unlike before, when Duke Howard pointed out that his arms were bent inwards, Knox was moved to tears.
"Dad..."
"Knox, you and I have broken up. Don't call me by that title."
Even so, Duke Howard remained resolute.
"Ahem, I apologize for commenting on Knox's appearance. Anyway, back to the main point, I have reported the Giuliano organization."
“You reported it? When?”
“It was the day after the raid.”
“And yet the security forces are so quiet. I guess we know who’s behind it.”
Duke Howard clicked his tongue.
“I heard that Prince Kite went over to the Robert Empire?”
“Yes, if he sends a signal through the communication port, I will bring my private soldiers across the border.”
"Yes, the Emperor's movements are unusual, so we must hurry. If we delay, we'll be defeated without even a chance to counterattack."
While they were talking, Killian, who had gone out, returned to headquarters.
“Sorry, I’m late. I have some work to do.”
Duke Howard and Marquis Huppert jumped up and greeted Killian with joy.
“I heard you were hurt. Are you feeling better?”
Lord Howard asked Killian affectionately.
“Yes, I’m all better.”
“They said it had S-class magic power, but it really is different.”
Knox, who was behind him, puckered his lips at the words of admiration that were heard with a laugh.
He was jealous of his father's reaction, which was quite different from when he told him he was hurt.
“Knox.”
Duke Howard spoke to him as he felt depressed.
Knox looked back at the Duke with expectant eyes, hoping that something might happen.
“If you have nothing to do, come upstairs and get my bag.”
"Yes?"
“I forgot to leave the gift for Marquis Starr there.”
“...”
Knox deliberately slammed the door shut and stepped outside. He looked back just in case, but no one followed him.
"joy!"
At home, he was overshadowed by his two older brothers, but outside, he was saddened by the fact that his parents' attention was stolen by Killian.
As Knox, ignoring his father's errand, walked outside and grumbled, a pair of pink shoes stopped in front of him.
“Oh, hello?”
He looked towards the sound of rustling as he heard a bright voice that he had heard somewhere before.
“Do you remember me?”
It was Marlene, a blonde girl with a refreshing smile, who made her feel good.
“Aren’t you the lady of Huppert?”
Even Knox, who had a poor memory, remembered the beautiful young lady well.
"That's right."
Marlene smiled inwardly.
'I'm glad I stood in front of the bookstore, as Emily said.'
She had considered a direct introduction, but if Knox was going to accept her as his destiny, the best way was to pretend it was a chance meeting.
“But you don’t look happy. What’s wrong?”
Marlene asked in a worried tone.
“Oh, did you notice?”
Knox touched his face and smiled awkwardly.
“It’s nothing.”
“Still. Feelings of depression need to be shared.”
Marlene actively teased Knox.
“I’ll buy you some hot chocolate.”
"Yes?"
Knox, who had been making a puzzled expression, soon shook his head.
"No."
“...Are you rejecting my offer now? Really?”
As Marlene covered her mouth with a wounded face, Knox took Marlene's hand and put it down.
“No, I’ll buy it for you, Miss.”
And he put her hand on his arm.
“Let’s go.”
“Oh my, I like it!”
This was a successful operation for Marlene.
The Temple-Emperor-Giuliano Organization: A Link Between the Three?
An article with a new title shook the empire once again.
The article stated that the current Pope has no powers of ecclesiastical authority and that he is purchasing huge amounts of drugs every year to create fake powers.
Moreover, the shock of the people of the empire was beyond words because it was said that the Emperor was paying the enormous cost of purchasing the drug.
As soon as the article was published, protests began in front of the palace and temple demanding an explanation of the article's contents.
“Are you okay so far?”
Emily asked Killian, worried about the noisy situation outside.
“Yes, but it seems the palace is about to summon the nobles.”
Killian didn't bother to hide the fact that he had provided the article. Rather, he waited for the Emperor to quickly arrest him and bring him to the palace.
The Emperor would think that the only person who could deal with S-rank Killian was Duke Sadie, and it was clear that he would order the Duke to capture Killian.
Duke Sadie, the Empire's Sword Master, was an opponent that even Killian and the other Dukes found difficult to fight directly.
So their plan was to attack the Emperor while he was away from the palace, while Duke Sadie came to arrest Killian.
While Killian and the main force were at the palace fighting the Emperor and the Imperial Family, it was Emily who had to face the Duke of Sadie, who remained at the Starr Mansion.
So, to reduce the risk even a little, Emily and everyone else who remained in the mansion decided to take refuge together in a secret hideout.
Killian noticed Emily's anxious gaze as they parted for a moment and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
“It will be over soon.”
Emily nodded silently and lay quietly in his arms.
Both of them had experienced the loss of someone close to them, so they didn't want to go through the grief of losing a family member again.
"Excuse me..."
Alvin interjected cautiously.
“I’m sorry to interrupt, but we have a guest.”
Emily pulled herself out of Killian's arms and politely greeted the man standing behind Alvin.
“Hello, Priest Franz.”
“Um... yes, hello.”
He looked around awkwardly, unable to make eye contact with people, as if he felt awkward about being there.
“You’re here.”
Meanwhile, as Killian's voice, which was intimidating, was added, Priest Franz cowered even more and hid behind Alvin.
Killian didn't find the priest Franz very trustworthy, but he managed to control his expression as he thought of Emily.
Despite his timid appearance, the priest Franz had overflowing spiritual power and was a man fit to become the next Pope.
The Pope also noticed this, so he had been looking for opportunities to get rid of the priest Franz several times.
Upon hearing the news, Marquis Huppert, a member of the Sisca Church, stepped forward first to rescue the priest Franz.
Emily, being a devout believer, also willingly agreed to go into hiding with him.
Also, from Killian's perspective, he thought that having the priest Franz, who had abundant spiritual power, with Emily would be helpful in case of an emergency.
But looking at that, he wondered if he had agreed to it for nothing.
“I’m glad you made it here safely, Priest.”
At Emily's affectionate voice, Priest Franz barely managed to speak.
“I still don’t think I’m worthy of such an incredible position...”
“You know, Priest, that there is no one in the temple with the power to surpass yours.”
When Killian spoke so bluntly, Priest Franz had nothing more to say.
As Killian said, those with exceptional psychic powers could tell how much psychic power other people had just by looking at them.
It was painful for the priest Franz to see the Pope maintain his position with false power, but it was also painful to realize that no one had greater power than he did.
He had no desire for power and was a person who found great happiness in living a quiet life, focusing only on practice.
Well, of course, since he has that kind of disposition, isn't it because God loves him and has given him that much power and blessing?
“How is the atmosphere in the temple after the article was published, Priest?”
Emily asked cautiously.
“I was kidnapped by the Marquis of Huppert around that time... Ah, no, I was rescued, so I don’t know much about the situation there.”
“I see.”
Priest Franz observed the situation and then asked in an extremely small voice so that only Emily could hear.
“But is there really a rebellion?”
But there was no way Killian couldn't hear that sound.
“Yes, so please take good care of my wife so she can stay safe.”
It was a moment that instantly turned the next Pope into Emily's bodyguard.
The armorer made protective hats and armor that complemented the previous ones.
“I feel like a really successful knight when I wear these clothes.”
Knox was fascinated by his reflection in the mirror and tried out various poses.
“...You can just ignore it.”
Giovanni spoke to Duke Howard and the Marquis of Huppert, who were sitting in front of him.

While they were talking, Killian, who had gone out, returned to headquarters.
“Sorry, I’m late. I have some work to do.”
“Sorry, my ass!”
“I heard you were hurt. Are you feeling better?”
Lord Howard asked Killian affectionately.
“Yes, I’m all better.”
“They said it had S-class magic power, but it really is different.”
Knox, who was behind him, puckered his lips at the words of admiration that were heard with a laugh.
