The Obsessive Second Male Lead Has Gone Wild - Chapter 16
I need to introduce myself a little more, thought Rurutia to herself.
“Do you have any more questions?”
“No, I don’t know. You already know about my family, the Bruckes.”
The paladin doomed to know a lot about Rurutia on a superficial level. This was a little strange.
“Have we met before?”
He looked up slowly.
“I was in charge of your wedding ceremony. We never met before that.”
A few personal introductions should have been delivered at the wedding.
She was told that the story was hastily changed weekly before she started, but she had enough time to keep up with it.
“Please forget the introduction that was handed. My father wrote it down.”
To trade at a high price, Rurutia created a new course for her life story, so all sorts of embellishes were brought about to enhance the story.
It was also packed with a bunch of lies.
“Have you ever written a lie?”
The introduction prepared for the wedding ceremony had to be the truth. You would have to pay a fine if you were caught up in a falsehood.
If he had written a false statement, the Duke of Brucke, who wrote the introduction, would have been summoned to the temple and fined.
If there was a fine, this would have dealt a major blow to the mansion, but Gael would have a scapegoat already on hand to atone for his crimes.
For the ceremony, Rurutia’s age, hobbies, and specialties would have been written in the introduction.
“How about it?”
“You’re feeling bad.”
“Not at all.”
It was a good and plain thing to hear.
Rurutia unwittingly fixed her gaze on his lips. She couldn’t believe that just moments ago they had kissed.
Yet at the same time, it seemed like cons ago.
“Kaneshel, you’re in charge of the weekly ceremony? Aren’t ceremonies what priests do?”
It was a weekly ceremony of the Peacock’s spirit, and it was especially high priestly work. If there was a rush, another priest would have taken his place.
“I was on the escort mission of the Ambassador when they gave me the new title as Commander of the Holy Knights Diversion.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know why.”
The high priests and the equivalent of the order were regarded as the Chief of the Paladins. It was the same rank because the aristocracy ordered it.
Rurutia nodded.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Count Hyde was supposed to be her husband. Rurutia who had disobeyed her father was going to feel the brunt of his
fury.
There was only one maid who would follow loyally by Rurutia’s side, ignoring Gael’s commands.
“Sui!
Rurutia, who did not need to hear her name, was really pleased and smiled. Thank you for coming.”
If it was another paladin, he might have admired Rurutia’s smile as a masterpiece, but Kaneshel was adamant. He remained expressionless.
He sipped his tea silently, and he quietly made his point.
“I know that Brucke doesn’t want to marry me.”
“You know my thoughts so well. Are you psychic?”
The goddess prophesied only to females from generation to generation. So the Pope was always a woman, and as a man, he could not receive prophecy.
He laughed low as if he was invulnerable to Rurutia’s sarcastic jokes.
He was a man who could laugh at her, whether he was as sharp as a piece of ice, or as hard as a statue.
“Even without prophecy, we can expect it. The Spirit of the Brucke family would not want a poor clergyman who had lost his authority.”
If you look at the profession of the clergy, there was nothing wrong with it.
This man didn’t know how valuable his appearance was. Even if he was a beggar on the road, anyone would have packed up their bags and settled down
with him.
Unfortunately, he did not show up in the official books, so his identity was hidden.
The temple’s ceremony was open to the public. It was a great event to make a good impression.
However, a few years ago, the ceremony of the Paladins was kept secret. Even though there were unsavory rumors that they were doing obscene acts that they could not show to others, they proceeded to remain private until the end.
