Chapter 305 – The Exorcism of Peta Sierra (7)
People gathered in front of the Peta manor house. Some gathered to witness a historic moment, while others gathered to see the faces of the Holy Knights. Some people came to see the story that the hero, A.A., Had come to Peta’s estate. A.A was a little embarrassed at the scene where there were more people than he expected. A. A lives by hearing the voice of a hero, but he is still a person who is not accustomed to cheering others on.
The meeting place was shabby. One desk and one chair. There was simplicity in the place, reminiscent of a table between outdoor convenience stores. The only difference is that the desk and chair are made of more luxurious wood, and the surrounding atmosphere is solemn? The Paladins and Nelson Priests were coming, harming people from afar.
I confirmed he was coming and took a step in the direction of the mansion. A.A was already standing in front of the table waiting for us. She was put forward as a mediator in Ahildern, which she readily accepted, she said, saying it was a contribution to peace.
“Long time no see. Priest.”
When AI saw me, she smiled and held out her hand. She seemed to prefer living in Sierra, even as she herself. I said, holding her A.A. And shaking her hand.
“Yes. Long time no see. Warrior. Haven’t you done anything special in the meantime?”
“Yes. Yes.”
Priest Nelson’s face was full of pensiveness. What was the point of making such a gloomy expression ahead of a peaceful agreement? I smiled and sat down in the chair. Behind me, Robin and Elsie were glaring at the Holy Knights with bloody expressions. The Holy Knights were covering their faces with armor, so their expressions were not easily revealed, but they could feel a weak life force.
A.A said, sticking the sword he was holding into the floor as Priest Nelson and I all sat down.
“Then. From now on, we will conduct mediation of the dispute between the Archangel Church and Peta Lucius. Those who are not related to the matter are permitted to observe, but are not allowed to speak. Please understand this.”
As soon as the words were finished, Daecheonsingyo held out a piece of paper. It was a draft of the mediation plan. I took the paper and started reading it slowly. The content was nothing special. The Archangel Church will not interfere with Peta Sieri at all in the future, but I had to report to the Archangel Church about Peta Sieri’s condition her at regular intervals. It was annoying to have to report it, but considering the doctrines of the Archangel Church, the proposal made by Priest Nelson was nothing short of shocking.
I felt the feeling of trying to gain the upper hand somehow in the promise of ‘reporting’, so I burst out laughing. I nodded and smiled. Every time I went through the paper, I saw Priest Nelson’s face slightly distort and then loosen again.
Other than that, there was nothing special about it. If Xie Li committed diabolical behavior, such as human sacrifice or massacre of dozens of people, he only stipulated that he would be directly sanctioned by the Great Heavenly Church. There was no way Sieri would make human sacrifices, so this was no different than a meaningless treaty.
No matter how many times I checked, there was no problem with the treaty, so I decided to sign it as it was. For Priest Nelson, the treaty itself was humiliating, but the fact that I gave Daecheon Shinkyo a blow made his hum his. How much I couldn’t do what I wanted to do because I was paying attention to these bastards. I had to accept refugees from the neighboring estate, and I had to pay attention when I married Eve.
It was a pity that I couldn’t receive this because the salary of the head priest was pretty good, but it wasn’t bad because I got freedom in exchange for it. I looked up at Father Nelson as I was about to sign the signature line. Priest Nelson asked, startedled by my gaze his.
“Why?”
“How is the reporting period?”
I almost didn’t ask about something important. This was because the reporting cycle was not written in the treaty. Priest Nelson said as if it were natural.
“Surely, shouldn’t we do it once a week? To be able to respond immediately…”
I frowned at Priest Nelson’s crazy voice and shook his head. To report Sieri’s condition once a week. It was annoying just thinking about it, and I felt sorry for the dispatch, which had to run to the central headquarters of Daecheonsingyo on a weekly basis.
“I do it once a year.”
“One month! A month sounds good!”
Priest Nelson insisted once more. Aren’t these bastards actually Peta Sieri’s stalkers? Do you need to know every month if Sieri is going to be a bad bitch or if something is changing?
“Fuck, if there’s anything special, I’ll send it out separately. Just do it for one year. Do you want to write something down once a month because you want to hear the news so often?”
“Yeah, but one year is too much… !”
“Fuck! So, if there is something special, do you send it separately? Our Sieri suddenly has 6 arms! When her eyes are just 4! Our Sieri has evolved! And let me know! Uh?”
“… I see. Then, if there are any unusual issues, make sure to report them…”
He said ‘see’ again. When I screamed once more in anger, Priest Nelson seemed to take a step back and scratched my temper once more.
I put down my pen before signing. A.A sneaked out of the overheated atmosphere and looked at Priest Nelson in turn. People were staring at us with bated breath. When I heard it, I didn’t like it so much that these bastards kept trying to stand on top of me. If I signed it like this, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to sleep all night with a sense of defeat that I didn’t know what it was.
“I don’t like the expression ‘report’. I correct it with ‘inform you’. I am no longer the Southern Priest.”
“That…”
“Isn’t that right in the first place? Sieri is my woman, and she doesn’t belong to you or be under your control, so why does she use the word ‘report’? Doesn’t it seem like I’m managing your stuff and reporting the status? Change all expressions of ‘report’ in the text of the treaty right now to ‘inform.’”
Priest Nelson said, sweating profusely at my point.
“Ivosio, Lord Lucius. It’s just one word…”
“It’s just one word, change it.”
Priest Nelson looked at A.A. A.A just smiled awkwardly as if he had no interest in the situation. She said that when she interceded, she meant to restrain her knife action her at the place of her agreement her, she did not mean to act as her lawyer her on behalf of Priest Nelson. Priest Nelson crossed out the text of the treaty and edited it to read “Information.”
“Then, I just need to inform you of Sieri’s condition her once a year.”
I was satisfied when I said this. But Father Nelson was still staring at me with a shitty face. I snatched the treaty from his hand and read it again slowly. It was changed to inform, and the notification period was specified as once a year. I signed my name and held out the paper to Father Nelson. Priest Nelson was hesitating before the treaty. Next to him, the Paladins were staring at Priest Nelson indifferently with their helmets on.
“Please sign. Priest Nelson.”
“Ahhh…”
Sweat broke out on Priest Nelson’s face his. By signing this treaty, the history of the continent will change. Priest Nelson squeezed his trembling hand and slowly placed his hand on his treaty. I pushed the hesitant one more time.
“Sign! Priest Nelson.”
“Ahhh…! Great, Daecheonsingyo… About Peta Sieri… Corresponding… Joe, the treaty…”
Priest Nelson gritted his teeth. The paladins lowered their heads. I could feel my body trembling with humiliation behind the thick armor. I turned my head and spoke to Elsie.
“Go, get me a piece of paper. White ones.”
“I get it.”
Elsie and Dodo also ran and entered his mansion. I turned my head again and looked at Priest Nelson. He was struggling to sign each letter. When the signing was completed, the text of the treaty was to be handed over to A.A., The mediator, and then copied from Ahildern and sent to the Archangel Church and me, one copy each.
Father Nelson closed his eyes and wrote his last words as he went down. The sound of the pen pressing down on his paper sounded like a drumbeat announcing victory. It was a battle that had already been won, but it still felt like being confirmed one more time. Just in time, Elsie burst through the gate again.
A.A took the treaty, read it once more, folded it finely, and put it in an envelope.
“Yes. Has confirmed. Then do you agree to proceed with the treaty as it is?”
“…Yes.”
“Yes. I agree.”
Priest Nelson’s face was deadly. Said A.
“Then, the conflict between the Archangel Church and Lord Peta Lucius is settled. We ask all visitors to disperse.”
I took the paper Elsie was carrying and wrote my name and date on it. Father Nelson raised his eyes again and looked at me.
“Lord Lucius. What are you writing down?”
“Here you go.”
I held out the paper. Receiving the paper, Priest Nelson frowned at him, and for an instant his face his flushed red. It was red, like a detonated bomb. He trembled and threw the paper at me.
“What is this?”
“You’re notifying me of Sieri’s condition.”
There was only one line written on the paper.
[Nothing strange]
I got up and said.
“Then see you next year. No. Instead of seeing each other, if possible, communicate through letters. Next year, we’ll bring you even better news, so stay tuned. Priest Nelson.”
“Aaaaagh! Aaaaagh!”
Priest Nelson groaned, tearing at his chest at last. I entered his mansion with his screams as background music. A.A looked at Priest Nelson sadly. Priest Nelson said while holding on to A.A.’S clothes.
“Hero! I! I! Are you going to keep watching the devil run rampant? Are you a warrior? Warrior! Warrior!”
She carefully caressed the sword she was holding and removed Priest Nelson. And she smiled awkwardly.
“I’m sorry. Priest. This, so it’s not a matter of whether I’m right or wrong, so I don’t know what to say. That… I think everyone should be given a chance in life. You had a hard time with the treat.”
A.A. Came running to me. I casually put my hand on her waist her. A.A pushed me away in disgust.
