149. are you my sister
#
Ian’s eyes were colder than ever.
That was natural.
It was because her saint, who might have been her own sister, followed the cardinal as if being led away.
Instead, he began to follow Cesare and the saint calmly.
‘Did you say that it was a dedication ceremony?’
It certainly wasn’t a good look.
The expression of her younger sister, the saint, did not change, but it was obvious from the bewildered expression of the priest next to her.
It must have been a ritual forcing the saint to make some sacrifice.
‘If you think that I will go back like this, you are mistaken.’
If it’s her sister for sure, she’ll save her even if she hits her right.
It was time to follow the two of them down to the bottom of the mansion.
Ian, who followed, tilted his head.
‘Where the hell are you going?’
The two were heading towards the bottom of the mansion.
‘It’s strange. Sir Nathan obviously said there were no secret spaces in the mansion.’
Wasn’t he called the Marquis Adelas who had nothing to hide unexpectedly?
But no matter how you look at it, the place the two of them headed was somewhere underground in the mansion.
That was then.
“Are you here?”
Ian quickly hid behind his pillar.
This was because the Marquis Adelas, accompanied by the knights, appeared in front of them.
The Marquis Adelas opened his mouth with a somewhat offended face.
“I heard that you want a space that is invisible to others.”
“Yes. The saint wants to prophesy. So, it would be nice to have a space where no one would see it.”
At that, Marquis Adelas seemed startled.
“Really… are you saying that prophecy is possible?”
“Until now, the prophecies of the saint have never been wrong.”

Marquis Adelas looked at him with a thoughtful look for a moment.
Cardinal Cesare must have been slightly offended by what happened in Daejeon already.
But the power of her saint is not already famous on the continent, and she is wary of other continents as well.
She seemed to want to see the power in her own right.
“Then come this way.”
The Marquis Adelas slowly began to take the lead.
And he headed to the basement warehouse.
Arriving at a warehouse full of alcohol, he went into a nook.
Then he pulled down the old candlestick in the corner.
drizzle
Then the door slowly began to open.
The secret space that Nathan had promised not to have appeared.
Like Ian, Cesare was startled and opened his mouth.
“I hope there is a secret space in a place like this…”
“It’s a place no one knows but me. It is a place that even the children do not know. I usually use it for some kind of meeting. Cardinal Cesare and Saints, this is a special opening.”
“This gracenot to be forgotten.”
Ian was watching it all with cold eyes.
‘I think we should adjust our evaluation of Marquis Adelas.’
He was the one who made even his external evaluation meaningless that he had nothing to hide in a gorilla that could deceive even his own children.
He didn’t know that there was something hidden that was different from what he had been watching.
Following that, an underground space appeared.
“I thought I needed it, so I put it away. Spend as much as you need.”
The space the Marquis Adelas pointed to was similar to the secret space in Garcia’s mansion.
No, it was slightly smaller than that.
But Cesare seemed to like it.
“Then I will borrow it for one day only.”
“That’s right. So when is the prophecy ceremony held?”
“Because you need an offering. We will start as soon as the priests bring the items.”
“This will be a precious sight thanks to Cardinal-sama.”
“If you give me more support, I will gladly add a prophecy about the marquis.”
At Cesare’s words, Ion grinned, as if he was disgusting inside.
Then he confirmed her saint.
“········”
The saint still didn’t say anything.
Seeing this, the Marquis Adelas whispered secretly.
“Then you will have time until you are ready. I have something to tell you, is it okay?”
“I do not know······”
Cesare looked around.
‘It’s okay if it’s just a confined space with no way out…’
Are you worried about the saint escaping?
Adelas then beckoned a little behind his back as Cesare simply scanned the space without answering.
Then the knight from behind brought a soldier inside.
“These are the ones who will protect Saint while we are away.”
Cesare, who confirmed the appearance of the knights and soldiers, nodded his head willingly only then.
“If it’s just for a while, I think it’ll be fine. It’s probably impossible to let people who don’t know Saint be alone.”
“Then let’s talk outside for a moment.”
There was still time for the priests to come anyway.
Cesare headed out with the Marquis Adelas.
So after the two of them left.
Silence came to the secret space where only knights, soldiers, and saints remained.
“········”
Neither the saint nor the soldier said anything.
In particular, the soldier was watching her saint like a statue of her, as if he had received special training.
But it was then.
Someone suddenly drew a sword and stabbed the soldier.
Whoops!
“Kuh-huh…”
In the sudden surprise, the soldier bled and fell helplessly.
The saint was startled by the sight and stepped behind her.
“who?”
But soon her saint’s face hardened.
The one who killed the soldier was none other than the knight Marquis Adelas left with the soldier.
“Saint of the Sun Church. I will remove you.”
“!”
The knight ran towards the saint with a lively expression.
Seeing that, the saint bit her lips tightly.
‘You must be an assassin in a place like this.’
It was also an assassin who entered deep enough to become a knight of the Marquis.
She was a saint who was usually threatened by assassination, but she felt particularly dangerous.
But now there was no one to protect her.
‘I can’t die yet.’
No, she shouldn’t have died.
Why did she herself come to Kai Stein at any risk? Wasn’t she supposed to meet her one and only brother?
Her maiden, mad at her thoughts, tried to defend her right away, but before that, her knight’s sword came at her throat.
But at that very moment.
Scratch!
harsh sound andTogether, the article turned upside down.
The fallen knight bled and shouted with a surprised expression.
“Who.. who are you?”
“I don’t know a name like you.”
Whoops!
After that, a man thrust his sword deep into the knight’s chest.
Then he asked with a cold expression.
“Are you my brother?”
It was Ian.
He was the one who had been hiding with the ability of the cloak until now.
The saint smiled as if waiting.
“I see you at last. Brother.”
It was the first bright smile he made.
*
The saint recalled her own room.
She felt as if she was in prison or her suffocating air was choking her neck.
No, it wasn’t just a feeling.
“If you want to save him, you’ll have to listen to us.”
“You are a saint of the sun. It is only worthwhile when you are with us.”
“If others notice the power of prophecy, they will not be safe.”
She was shackled with her many lives hostage.
‘That’s why I couldn’t run away.’
Soldiers of the Holy Empire. Heretic Inquisitors. priests.
It was clear that at least all of her continents would set her eyes on fire to catch her.
So she had no choice but to do what they told her to do.
But now it wasn’t.
‘finally······’
Her silver eyes, called Ye Ji-an, gleamed in a hazy blue.
And she could see.
She said, ‘She is the same as the one seen in the prophecy.’
It was red eyes that gleamed hot like red flames.
As she looked at herself, she could even feel the golden light bursting out with each flash.
At that sight, her eyes were filled with joy.
‘Brother.’
Because she was the one who had been waiting for a very long time.
The saint walked forward one step at a time with her trembling eyes.
Then she stood before Ian, trembling with excitement and tension.
“I see you at last. Brother.”
But Ian didn’t seem like that.
“How did you know my hidden name?”
He drew a sword from the knight’s body and aimed it at her saint’s neck.
The sword dripping with her blood was placed in front of her saint’s neck.
The saint said with a calm expression.
“My mother told me.”
“That’s a lie. My mother is dead.”
“She was pretending to be dead. If she had stayed there, she would have been caught even with her brother.”
“What?”
She says her mother is alive?
Ian seemed surprised by his unexpected words.
And he pushed her sword towards the saint, as if to tell him in detail with a grim face.
She didn’t even tell the saint to put the sword away.
“Do not underestimate the tenacity of the Holy Empire. They are the ones who will do anything to get what they want.”
The details are not yet known, but it seems that her mother’s presence has become a shackle that binds her saint.
But Ian frowned, saying he soon couldn’t believe him.
It was natural.
‘You don’t age. No matter how I look at it, you look two years younger than me, don’t you?’
If he had been born after him, he could not have remembered his childhood.
She told her mother that she had settled down in the provinces, she apparently left her prosperous after she was born.
It was absurd that she had a younger sister in a timely manner.
But she nodded her head as if it was natural for a saint.
“We are fraternal twins.”
“What?”
And the reason he left the royal family in the first place might be because they were twins.
‘Then is she a princess?’
Anyway, twins are not a good symbol, so it seems that her younger brother is entrusted to her close friend.did.
If there was one problem, it was the betrayal of that close friend.
After the divine power was manifested from the saint who was a baby. He had trouble selling her to her church.
They recognized the saint who was her baby right away.
“We found her mother, who was hiding because of the nobility, and used it as her hostage.”
“under······”
It was said that the saint who was captured by her mother had no choice but to prophesy while listening to them.
But Ian pushed her sword towards her saint with her cold expression.
“It looks like you’re chatting about what’s convenient for you. I’m sorry, but I didn’t see people well.”
“What is that……”
“If you want to use me, you should have known me properly. You cannot convince me with simple words.”
“You don’t believe it either.”
“Can you believe these words?”
At Ian’s words, the saint sighed for a moment.
She then began to untie her own front threads.
Ian asked with startled eyes.
“What is this now?”
“Anyway, no matter what I say, you won’t believe it. So I’m trying to show you solid evidence.”
“evidence?”
“Proof that I am your sister.”
What her saint saw was her own left breast.
But she did something strange.
Ian knew it right away.
“That… the wound?”
It was the same as the dagger wound that Ion had stabbed at Garcia.
The saint opened her mouth with her calm eyes.
“I don’t know when, but it’s a wound that inflicted on me. Perhaps your brother has the same wounds.”
“········”
Ian shut his mouth for a moment.
We only know very little about wounds. Because it was difficult information for a saint of the Holy Empire to understand.
She couldn’t help it anymore.
‘It must be her sister.’
She exists as a saint that can’t be done even in that flamboyant empire and kingdom.
But even though she actually resembled her mother, she looked a lot like her.
‘It must be her blood and blood.’

Moreover, with just a drop of her blood, it was possible to compare whether it was her brother or not.
“Let’s get out of here at once.”
Ian lowered his sword and extended her hand toward the saint.
He was going to escape here with her.
But she refused his hand.
“no. I cannot go now.”
The saint refused Ion’s hand reaching out toward her.
Ian asked, tilting his head.
“Why? Did I say consecration ceremony? Is it okay to do it like this?
“It is unavoidable.”
“What?”
“Her mother is being arrested. So she can’t go on like this.”
Ian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Where are you now?”
Soon, Ian was startled by the place his brother had mentioned.
At the same time, life flowed out of Ian’s body.
It was surprising that her mother was still alive, but it seemed that she was angry at the word of her official.
“It seems that I have lived a very quiet life.”
“yes?”
Ion raised his sword with a cold expression.
Then he took out the contact crystal ball that was in his arms.
“If I can’t take you here, stop making the dedication ceremony impossible. But that’s why it doesn’t make sense.”
He smiled coldly as he looked in the direction Cesare and the Marquis had left.
“I have to pay the price for tormenting my sister.”
