'Yes. There's nothing wrong with getting along with the imperial family.'
In fact, the skeleton king's eyes were smiling when he met the emperor.
It had to be.
It seems that the family of this body, Eshua, is a wealthy duke family, but what?
Is that the family's money or mine?
The fox is said to dig nine burrows, and so did the Skeleton King. Originally, he was the type to dig several burrows for safety.
And this family, from the beginning, had a problem.
'Does it make sense for a duke to have a fake nanny on his child?'
So far you don't come looking for your child? There may be some defect in this body. For example, being an abandoned child, you can't expect a penny of money.
Then it would be difficult.
The gods would have forcibly changed his identity anyway, and the Skeleton King was going to naturalize and live in the Holy Empire.
From now on, he will live as Isaac Eshua.
Demon minions? They've struggled with a bone for hundreds of years, and they've built the infrastructure well.
Now you don't have a head, no problem. In the first place, before going to the God Realm, he had delegated everything to his direct subordinates.
Anyway, that was the situation.
Now that he has no penny, the emperor, the great bread of the country to be naturalized, will be a precious line of money.
It wasn't an empire for nothing.
In this sense, you have to pretend to be an innocent saint and twist the emperor... I thought we should get acquainted!
"Don't be deceived by that demon child, Your Majesty. Would a child who uses magic be a saint?"
How dare that bastard try to thwart someone else's plan?
Sure enough, the bishop's words caused the temple to tremble.
"Confucius uses magic...!"
He was even determined to kill!
Nor were the priests who didn't know what magic meant in the Holy Empire.
'Magic is the power of the demon tribes!'
When it came to magic, the priests who thought of the demon tribe first couldn't help but be agitated.
But the emperor laughed as if it didn't matter at all. Or rather, he looked at the bishop in displeasure.
"You know better that it's not just the demon tribe that uses magic, right?"
Then, of course, the bishop, who bowed his head respectfully, looked at the Skeleton King as if in check.
"So I think we have to be even more clear. Magic and sexuality are natural enemies to each other. It could be an assassin who came to kill a saint in the yard where there was a child who was already confirmed to be a saint."
Then, for some reason, the emperor looked at the bishop with a smirk.
"You have a child who is already sure?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I haven't told you in advance because it's a top secret yet, but the saint has already been declared by the Pope to be the child of the
The bishop looked at the "twenty-fifth" Skeleton King with considerable restraint.
At that, the Skeleton King raised an eyebrow.
A saint has already been ordained?
'Damn, this really troublesome.'
Revenge is revenge, but most of all, when the paladins came here, they said:
- Once the saint is revealed, what happens to the other candidates?
-Let me see. You can hold a grudge and aim at the saint. I will be sent to the countryside so that I will never see the light of day again. Well, there is a high probability that you will die in the process.
If this is unlucky, let alone revenge, it will disappear without the knowledge of rats and birds.
Of course, the saint would be himself.
'If this crazy monster body isn't a saint, what is it?'
As a demon king, I could guarantee this.
It was nice to walk up to the hair of this life.
The fake would rather be the one they pushed.
'Well, they don't even seem to want to nominate me.'
Sure enough, the bishop glared at the Skeleton King as if he were a beast.
"The fake would rather have to be sent to the heretical inquisitor."
At that, the Skeleton King only laughed as if he was like a huh-huh.
Huh-huh-huh, yes. That white-haired young fellow.
I'm about to summon an Inquisitor.
They even fight the family not to be lonely. You're pressing with power to take him to the stake at the stake.
Even the priests who adored the Skeleton King couldn't stop it, and it was worth biting. There is a saying that if you get entangled in heretical interrogation in the human camp, you will destroy up to the eighth village of your in-laws.
'In the Holy Camp, the Pope is absolute.'
But is there a child whose supreme authority has fallen? How many clergy can vomit there?
Soon, as if he had finished explaining, the bishop bowed his head to the emperor and exclaimed:
"Summon the heretical inquisitor at once!"
At the bishop's shout, the imperial paladins who had brought the Skeleton King all the way here hurriedly embraced the Skeleton King.
"A heretical inquisitor to an infant! Are you thinking of killing him!"
"Confucius can't be an assassin!"
"We felt a divine aura in him!"
"That's right! This is the one God has given to destroy the remnants of that loathsome skeleton!"
"The loathsome Skeleton King!"
That disgusting thing over there, because right now you're hugging me so much that you can't touch it?
'But the paladins are doing well.'
So go ahead and protect me. Keep claiming to be a saint!
I got a precious body that barely turned into a bone, do you think you will die like this?
However, the bishop narrowed his brow and looked at the Skeleton King even more arrogantly.
"I wouldn't want to tell you if this would cause trouble, but there was testimony that he spewed Magi."
"...!"
At that, the eyes of the priests who liked to look at the Skeleton King faltered.
"Are you sure Maggie...?"
"Wait. Could it be... Is that it?"
"Could it be, that's why you're leaving Eshua alone?"
The mood that changed in an instant was unusual.
The Skeleton King's eyebrows, who had no interest in anything other than extorting cash from the high-ranking priests, also raised fiercely.
Oh, that's exposing other people's personal information to get through it.
The money line is in front of you, the baby body that still needs to grow calmly, and you don't see anything because you can stay calm while eating soybean water?
The patience and manners of a 10-year office worker, he threw it in the trash after one year as a skeleton.
It would have already blown it away, but this place is inside the temple.
And that guy was a bishop from the main office of the Holy See, where the Pope is. You don't have to deliberately step on that you can avoid.
yes, let's kill temper.
I am an innocent saint... An angelic saint who forgives everything....
But that was then.
'No, wait.'
The face of the Skeleton King, who had become a baby angel, suddenly became Satan.
'Berit?'
Why is the name so familiar?
Where did you hear the name?
Where did you hear that?
Sure enough, just then the emperor laughed as if he was dumbfounded.
"The Pope has made his family's child a saint. Isn't that too much of a hollow line?"
At that, the Skeleton King's face contorted.
That's right, Pope bastard!
They didn't even want to remember, so I deliberately forgot them, but the surnames of the popes in the past were
In short,
Namely.
'Was it the Pope's little boy that he was ordained a saint?'
Is the Pope pushing his clan as saints?
The Skeleton King grabbed the back of his neck with a rattle.
Of course, the situation was unknown.
After all,
But a new being called
Depending on the circumstances, he could be bigger than the pope.
Of course, it would be comfortable and reassuring for your own family!
So that greed is understandable.
'The Pope is also Berit... The saint also Berit....'
, these things should be done in moderation!
Because of these, as soon as I become naturalized now, should I just die of soybean water?
"Speaking of which, I heard about the recent torture of the demon clan. The Skeleton King, captured by the gods, instructed all the demon tribes to kill the saint."
Even this one hits Gura?
You never gave that order, did you?
More than that, the Skeleton King is here?
The Skull King glared at the smiling bishop.
But whether he did or not, the bishop lowered his head as if to excuse himself.
"He is a lowly demon who has been pounced upon by God and has only succumbed to a finger. You must have realized that it is an insignificant creature compared to the great gods, so even the saint, the messenger of the gods, is trying to get rid of it."
What did this bastard say now?
Who's getting hit with a finger?
Who are the great gods!
Those bastards seem to be going to lose the battle for power, so they're just hiding in the shadows!
Why get rid of the saint than that! I am the saint!
Can't you see this hair color? It's a precious color in the Holy Empire!
"It's certainly a rare and precious hair color, but it's such an improbable color that I think it's made by magic. They must have wanted to create a candidate who would appeal to everyone and send him next to a real saint."
! This kind of hair color, I can't even make it!
"As a bishop, I can still feel Magi in this kid."
Magi what a freezing magi!
The first thing I did to make a magic hack was to hide Magi!
Do you notice this without using magic? In order to do this, he had to come to a realm that humans could not reach, at least the archmage level of at least nine ranks, or the papal level who could stop the demon king.
But what?
'Where's the blinker!'
No, more than that, you bastard didn't even have feelings in the first place!
Liar!
"So we'll take care of this fake kid."
The bishop took the Skeleton King from the knights.
The Skull King, embraced by the bishop's wrinkled hands, stood up on a pedestal.
, don't you put it down? Where are you banging your ass?
"That's right, you don't cry. You guys go ahead and summon the heretic inquisitor."
As the priests moved at the command, the bewildered imperial paladins interrupted them.
"It's scary! How dare you send Confucius of Eshua to the heretical inquisitor!"
"Confucius can't!"
At the same time, the bishop glared at the imperial paladins, as if asking where he was raising his voice.
"I know you honor
Embarrassed, the imperial paladins bit their lips and lowered their heads.
The bishop smiled and apologized to the emperor.
"These are children who would have been educated in basic etiquette at the Holy See... Please forgive me for the rudeness I caused."
The emperor didn't even pretend to hear and said a word.
"I heard that the high-ranking wizard moved because of that kid."
"...!"
The bishop flinched.
He, too, had received a report.
Sure enough, the emperor smiling at the Skeleton King glared at the bishop.
"There's no way that notorious wizard is moved by something worthless. Wouldn't that make it more likely that this child is a saint? I don't think this has ever happened before."
"He...."
"What do you think? I'd recommend that this kid try his feelings again later."
At that, the bishop's face contorted inside.
What? Recommend?
No, that's commanding.
My family is coming looking for me, so don't kill me and don't touch my fingertips.
Sure enough.
Although he couldn't make a tea, the bishop's eyes contorted as he looked at the emperor.
"Understood."
At that, the imperial paladins were about to fetch the Skeleton King, and the bishop who hugged the Skull King tightly twitched the corners of his mouth like a smirk.
"But His Holiness the Pope said that. The date of the Crown Prince's Book-sealing ceremony will be set after the saint is revealed."
"!"
The imperial paladins could only doubt their ears.
'What, that naughty!'
He didn't know what the bishop was saying.
For generations, imperial ceremonies were conducted under the rites of the pope.
The bookstick ceremony was one of them.
Namely.
'If the Pope does not push the child chosen by the Pope as a saint, he will reject the crown prince's book-sealing ceremony!'
It was, in effect, intimidation.
Rituals, of course.
Even if there was nothing else, the succession itself was no problem.
The imperial power of the Holy Empire was as high as it was. Legally, he was already the heir to the imperial throne. But the absence of papal ordinances means that they have not received God's blessing and permission.
How would that look in this Holy Empire?
In the end, the imperial paladins raised their eyes, and the bishop raised the corners of his mouth.
'yes, I thought if you brought up the Prince's affairs, you would grasp the subject.'
Of course, if the emperor wanted to, he could wipe out the Holy See.
But he, too, ends up being a parent with children.
'I can see you clenching your fists inside, but you can't throw cold water on your child's future.'
After all, since he has declared himself an agent of the Pope, the Emperor cannot cross the line beyond a certain time.
After all, this is a holy empire where the pope and the emperor coexist.
By the time of the emperor, even minor flag fights with the clergy had developed into political matters.
The imperial family would know that better than anyone.
Still, thanks to him, even those cocky knights have kept their mouths shut, so now only the emperor who is siding with this child for some reason can convince him in good shape.
'Well, that's simple.'
< demon killing demon tribe > pretending to use the Holy Law, he just had to destroy the child's feeder.
And if the ritual says that he is a demon tribe and is dead, it is over.
I didn't expect to step out in person, but after the calculation, the bishop smiled.
"Then why don't you do this."
The bishop bowed his head triumphantly.
"I'm going to use the Kuma Holy Technique right here. If this child is human, there will be no harm, and if it is a demon tribe, it will be eradicated immediately... Kerrrrrrr
The bishop's face crossed.
The bishop staggered with a deafening sound.
The knights couldn't keep their mouths shut.
The emperor also blinked.
The bishop.
The bishop slapped him.
On the rattle wielded by the Skeleton King!
The Skeleton King, who had blown off the bishop's face, flashed his eyes.
'Let's hear when the bastard hears!'
Since you pretend to be an infant, do you have to listen to the story of extermination from a kid who can't even do it anymore?
"What a bastard! Do you think you can get rid of me?"
And.
"Hands off your ass! You bastard!"
The Skeleton King flew a lion's head.
"Taya! It's Tayaya!"
There was silence.
It felt like my facial bones were shaking.
Soon the bishop, who was staggering, coughed.
"Oh, no. He."
The beaten bishop seemed frantic and tried to hug the Skull King for now.
It didn't matter if this was the Demon Clan or not.
All you have to do is get rid of Eshua's child with this hair color.
"No, I mean, the Kuma Sex Method... Excellent!!!"
Suck!
This time, there was the sound of a tooth breaking.
This time it was accompanied by a sacred flash.
