Chapter 202 – Subjugation of the Cult of Love That Calls for a Storm (4)
Eyes were flying like arrows from all directions. Elsie felt the gaze pouring down on her and showed her uncomfortable expression to the fullest. He sharpened her fingernails on her old desk and scratched at her. The claw marks left on her desk were bloody. Elsie pursed her lips and spoke to me.
“Priest. People around me look suspiciously at me. I feel bad.”
“Be patient. Because those people are just afraid of Elsie.”
“I don’t know why I’m afraid. I haven’t done anything yet.”
“Because there is a problem between beastmen and humans around here, and they are fighting. We are here to solve the problem.”
“Know. But I didn’t expect to be guarded like this.”
“If I go over to the plains, I will be warned like this. At that time, Elsie has to rationally convince the other prisoners. Can you?”
“I do not know.”
We were now in Lionel Albus’ barracks. A soldier carefully got into the car and brought it to me and Elsie. The soldier glanced at her, as if curious about her Elsie, and was about to leave her barracks. I stopped the soldier about to leave the barracks.
“Soldier.”
“Yes Yes!”
The soldier responded loudly, shaking his body like a child caught doing something bad. I asked the soldier.
“When will the knight commander come? The barracks must have been contacted saying you arrived yesterday, but did you go on a business trip far away?”
“Yes! Knight Commander Lionel Albus is currently patrolling the outskirts to directly handle the arrest of missionaries of the Sarang Church!”
As soon as I unpacked yesterday and was informed of the location of the barracks by the lord of Aberdeen, I sent someone to go tomorrow. Lionel Albus sent me a reply saying that he could come anytime tomorrow, and believing that reply, I was on my way to the barracks right after having lunch. However, when he arrived, the commander of the knights was not there, and the barracks were filled with only the soldiers’ confused eyes.
I am a little annoyed by this situation. I have to control Elsie, so I just don’t get annoyed.
“Knight Commander!”
A voice calling for the knight commander was heard from afar. I got up and looked outside the barracks. Elsie followed me out of the barracks and checked the knight commander’s face. Lionel Albus. As the current head of the Lionel family and the leader of the Knights of the Kingdom, his skills are comparable to those of the Grand Duke of the North.
He was a middle-aged man with a neat red beard and his hair swept back. There was charisma that overwhelms people with his strong nose and beaky eyes. People said he was also called the Eagle of the Knights of the Kingdom, but seeing his face his, I could understand why he was called the Eagle. It was because I could really feel the sharpness of an eagle in the deeply dilated eyes of his.
Around him, knights wearing silver armor, the symbol of the Knights of the Kingdom, were walking with their faces wrinkled. Knight Commander Albus was in front of them, delivering instructions with a cigar in his mouth. His voice his, as strong as his thick lines his, could be heard even in the barracks where I was.
“Currently, the kingdom does not want armed conflict with beastmen. Distribute the conflict that occurred this time as an example to educate the soldiers once again and let them know that the cooperation of the prisoners is essential to subjugate the Love Cult.”
The soldiers nodded and dispersed. Next to Knight Commander Albus was a familiar face. A man who looks like a romance fantasy protagonist. His high nose and burning red hair were familiar. I checked the status window.

“Matilda?”
“Priest. Who is Matilda?”
At the name that came out of my mouth, Elsie asked curiously. I couldn’t help but wonder. Is Lionel James related to Matilda? Matilda was my bride-to-be whom I rescued from Lord Delmon at the academy. By the way, James and Matilda are related? Being subjected to NTR like this?
Albus and James were walking toward me, as if to answer my questions. The knight commander entered the barracks and shook my hand. I got up and shook hands with him.
“Nice to meet you. Knight Commander Lionel Albus. Received the call of the nation, a servant of Daecheonsingyo came to help.”
“Thank you for your cooperation. Priest Peta Lucius. This one…”
Albus looked at Elsie and her face darkened. No matter how much he is currently mediating between prisoners and humans, having a prisoner in his barracks seems to be a difficult situation for him to accept. Albus stuttered his words and looked back at me. I said.
“A prisoner who decided to help with this task. This is Elsie. Elsie. Say hello.”
“Nice to meet. Elsida of the Marimba tribe.”
Elsie held out her hand to her cat. The hand that hid her fingernails looked like a doll’s hand. Albus immediately corrected her expression, grabbed Elsie’s hand her and shook it.
“Right. Nice to meet. Elsie. Can I call you?”
“Do whatever you want.”
Albus was more flexible than I thought. He didn’t say in the letter that he would take the prisoner with him, so I thought he had somehow heard it, but he responded gently. Albus said, pointing to James standing next to him.
“This is my son, Lionel James. You must have seen him once when he lectured at the academy. He’s still not enough.”
James, who I thought would be hostile to me, unexpectedly made eye contact with me very awkwardly. He lowered his head and said, the appearance of criticizing me at the academy not long ago was nowhere to be found.
“This is Lionel James. Nice to meet you.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you. James.”
I didn’t have any intention of mentioning the past, so I was greeted lightly and finished. My goal is to turn this filthy NTR bug into a bestial bug. I wasn’t giving the side in front of my father. After the greeting, Albus went straight to the point.
“First of all, Priest Lucius. I apologize for the delay in my greeting due to the urgently scheduled outskirts patrol mission today. There was an armed conflict and there was no choice.”
“Has there been an armed conflict?”
Elsie tensed up her tail. Albus looked at Elsie’s reaction to her, then looked at me again and replied.
“Yes. A soldier who visited the tribe in the name of subjugating the Sarang cult acted disrespectfully and a scuffle broke out. Fortunately, there were no fatalities, but seven soldiers. One member of the Suin side suffered injuries. Because these events happen periodically , tensions in the plains are now at their peak.”
“Okay. What am I supposed to do here?”
“While me and the lord of Aberdeen work together to guide the soldiers in this region not to cause armed conflict with the beastmen, I hope the priest will convince the beastmen.”
“What about persuasion?”
“Currently, the Prisoners are extremely wary of the knights entering the plains in the name of subjugating the Sarang Cult. We need to clear up some misunderstandings about this before we can proceed with the subjugation of the Sarang Cult. The tribal chiefs also avoid extreme situations, but are wary of us entering the plains, so the dialogue itself is not established. At least he is a member of Daecheonsingyo, and the prisoners… Well, if you’re a priest famous for liking him, how can you go in and convince him… I wondered if I could…”
To put it simply, it was a story about whether it would be possible to convince you, a bestiality bug. Albus muffled his words, knowing that his words his sounded that way too. I nodded.
“All right. I was worried that there would be a large-scale subjugation of the beasts, but there was nothing to worry about. I will do my best to convince you.”
Albus bowed his head in gratitude.
“Thank you. Are you leaving tomorrow?”
“Yes. It should be.”
“Do you have any other questions?”
There were many. I asked one of the things I was most curious about.
“I knew that the official position of the kingdom was ‘The land occupied by the beasts is also the original territory of the kingdom, so we must subdue the beasts.’ But you seem to be using appeasement measures.”
At my words, Elsie looked at Albus and frowned. A sharp nail protruded from his hand her as he rested it on his desk his, then disappeared again as I placed my hand on the back of his hand his. Albus looked at Elsie and said to me.
“In the current situation, it is impossible to exterminate the prisoners. I don’t want to force the Templars into a fight that may take a few deaths to end.”
Since I also have Elsie, I decided not to ask more here. Albus also glanced at Elsie and finished the conversation.
“Then. Please, please.”
Albus greeted me once again. And just as we were about to leave Albus’ barracks, James, who had been silent next to Albus, suddenly opened his mouth.
“There…”
As if he was waiting for the conversation to end, he was staring at me with a desperate face, so Albus didn’t stop James either. James looked back at Albus and said.
“Father. May I speak with Priest Lucius for a moment?”
Albus glanced at me. I nodded and said in a polite tone.
“Don’t bother too much.”
And Albus left James and went outside. James looked at me and cleared his throat. I wondered what James would say. Because he seemed to have a lot to say to me.
“I heard you saved Matilda.”
“Yes?”
James bowed his head to me. I was slightly taken aback by the sudden change of attitude, but soon regained my composure. Apparently, Matilda and James were dating. Or it’s been quite a while since I came down from the capital, so we dated in the meantime.
“This time… How did she come in contact with her child named Matilda and she ended up dating each other. The story of the priest came out by chance. But when I criticized the blind priest, the child said that the blind priest had saved her and told her not to criticize.”
“Is it so? That’s fortunate. To think that Matilda is happy to meet a wonderful man like you.”
Matilda was a child who knew grace. Judging by her bold appearance her and her affection her for me, she was a woman who had no shortage of becoming my bride in the future. James didn’t know what to do with my praise her. He scratched his head and bowed his head once more.
“Priest. Thanks again for saving Matilda. Which… I apologize for blaspheming the priest regarding the number of prisoners.”
Wait Matilda. Because I’m going to kill the NTR bugs.
