The expression of the clergyman brightened.
Seeing this, Kevrant gave a big grin.
“However, that’s after determining the truth of the rumor. If it becomes known that the pope spoke ill of Countess Green due to a false rumor, and broke off the engagement, it would be more dishonoring to the Holy Kingdom.”
Despite Kevrant’s condition, the clergyman was confident.
A credible newspaper published the rumors about Countess Green on the first page.
Mocking Count Green who was captivated by the beauty of Countess Green and couldn’t restrain his wife, they expressed regret towards the Holy Kingdom for protecting such a Count Green.
There was no way the rumor that Countess Green was a promiscuous woman was just a rumor.
“It’s fortunate that we’re finally understanding each other, Count.”
The clergyman, who had been maintaining a humble posture, inadvertently used respectful speech.
The clergyman felt his pride hurt, but there was no helping it.
He did not want to experience a frightening event like earlier.
Anyway, since he had achieved his goal, he wanted to leave here quickly without upsetting Kevrant, and return to the safe sanctuary of the Holy Kingdom.
“Hold on.”
As the clergyman was about to rise, Kevrant called him to a stop.
“I’m not done with my story.”
“WWhat more do you have to say…?”
“What if that rumor turns out to be false? Then what’s the price for being swept away by a false rumor, disregarding me, my wife, and the Green family?”
“Pprice…?”
“You’re not thinking of just ignoring that the pope directly promoted my divorce with a false rumor, right?”
The clergyman swallowed dryly.
He hadn’t thought about that, and his substitute hadn’t advised him on how to respond.
But it was fair for Kevrant to make such a request.
“WWhat do you want?”
He would listen to an extent and report to his substitute.
“I will be holding a wedding soon.”
Kevrant crossed his legs leisurely and lifted one corner of his mouth.
“The Pope himself must attend to bless the marriage and formally apologize to my wife for this humiliation to go away.”
At the ridiculous request, the clergyman’s eyes widened.
The Pope wasn’t an entity that could be moved so easily.
The Pope didn’t attend even the wedding of the emperor of the largest empire on the continent.
He sent a message of congratulations and blessings from afar, and everyone was pleased with that alone.
But not only does he have to come and bless, but he also has to apologize.
But the clergyman couldn’t say “It can’t be done”.
Kevrant was smiling, but his eyes were as gloomy as before, and he seemed to be experiencing an illusion of a heavy, dark aura swirling behind him.
‘It doesn’t matter. The rumor can’t be false, and even if it is, I can just attach a reason later and the Pope will just send a message of blessings and he will be grateful.’
Thinking this, the clergyman nodded.
“I understand. I accept that condition.”
With a grin, Kevrant pulled out a small machine from his jacket pocket.
It was a machine the clergyman had never seen before.
“Do you know that there was a magic long ago that could record conversations and play them back exactly?”
Of course, he knew, but the clergyman didn’t know why Kevrant was saying such irrelevant things.
“Not long ago, a fun machine was invented in the magic tower. They teamed up with mechanical engineers. As always, they asked me, the honorable Count Green, to check if it was useful.”
Thud
When Kevrant pressed a button on the machine, the conversation he had with the clergyman echoed as if they had gone back to that time.
It even recorded the clergyman clearly saying that he would accept the condition Kevrant had proposed.
While the breathless clergyman was watching, Kevrant gave a big grin.
“It seems useful.”
+++
Kevrant said he would determine the truth of the rumor soon, and told him to stay at the Count’s house and wait to go back.
Because it was closer to an order than a suggestion, the clergyman had no choice but to stay in the guest building of Count Green.
‘What should I do……?’
Only now did he regret acting arrogantly in front of Kevrant.
‘If all those rumors were false…… what happens to me?’

Iris was reading a book she had taken from the study.
It was a book about the history of the Holy Kingdom, and it was a section that was about the process of the Holy Kingdom exiling the Beastman long ago.
[It is well known that Benederum, who was expected to be the next Pope, was a Beastman.However, it was only later known what kind of species he had transformed into, and that was the starting point of the ‘First Beastman Rebellion’.
At that time, Beastman received equal treatment as humans, but depending on what they transformed into, they were either mocked or revered.
Benedertem was a shapeshifter who could transform into a mouse.
The very fact that someone who could possibly become the next Pope was turning into a diseasespreading mouse sent tremors throughout the Holy Empire and the entire continent.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
