My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Contrary to expectations

"After what happed today?" The Cardinal asked, frowning.

He had be extremely observant from the momt the Holy Emperor turned a to face him but he hadn't ssed ev the slightest of hostility from him.

He wondered if it meant that the Holy Emperor actually hadn't yet known about the actions of the Holy Church. Either that was the case, or he was really good at acting.

While the cardinal wanted Er to expose his real thoughts, Er was ev more cunning. He had be prepared for it as well.

Er told the Cardinal the same story that he had told the Ministers. He told the Cardinal that the Minister of War used the mana that was mainly used in the Northern Contint.

He also talked about the assassination attempt on the two great elders which had failed spectacularly. Up to that point, he told everything honestly. However, from this point onwards, he started lying.

He told the Cardinal that the Minister of War had confessed that he was working with the Necromancer Tower while also exposing his other allies.

Er started with the truth and by the time he reached the d of his story, there was nothing but lies in his words.

Unfortunately, it was impossible for the Cardinal to recognise his lies as Er had already used the Dragon Tongue Magic on his own body to make it impossible for anyone to decipher anything from his physical reaction.

As he used the Dragon's Tongue Magic on his own body, and that too to a very small extt, it couldn't be ssed either.

The Cardinal was tak aback as he heard the tire story. It made sse that Great Elder R stopped the Minister of War from dying.

It also made sse that the Minister of War, having no other choice, stuck with the story about working for the Necromancer Tower to protect the Holy Church.

What didn't make sse was him naming the other people that were involved. Why did he name the Ministers who were working for the Holy Church?

Ev if he gave a few names away to make sure that they didn't think much about the information he was giving them, why did he have the name of everyone?

Triel could feel that something was amiss but he wasn't sure exactly what. There was a strong feeling in his heart that kept nagging at him.

The only person who could answer the question was the Minister of War. To that point, he was still glad that the Minister of War was kept alive ev now. At any cost, he had to take the Minister of War with him.

"We can't believe that the Necromancer Tower was able to extd its influce to the Holy City. I am really glad that no harm came to the Envoys, or it would have be really bad." He pretded to be relieved, putting on the same fake act.

'As if you really thought this insect could kill me? If you really wanted to kill me or Zia, you should have come yourself. Maybe you might have an opportunity. However, we both know that wasn't what you wanted.' Er thought to himself, not exposing it on his face.

"I urgtly need to inform the Holy Priestess about this," The Cardinal exclaimed. Without ev asking the Holy Emperor's permission, he grabbed the Minister of War by his collar, breaking off the shackles that were tied a his neck like a dog's collar.

He thought that the Holy Emperor might say anything about him taking away the Minister of War, but to his surprise, Er didn't react in the least.

"That would be for the best. I believe the church can extract more information from him," Er simply said, watching the Cardinal put the unconscious Minister of War over his shoulder.

The Cardinal still had a bad feeling about this. Although it made sse for the ignorant Holy Emperor to agree with him, he still felt like something was wrong with his reaction.

Shaking these unnecessary thoughts off, he turned a and left with the Minister of War. With such a drastic disturbance in their plan, he had to inform the Holy Priestess at the earliest.

It was especially the case since it seemed to work in favor of the Holy Emperor who appeared to have gott closer to the voy to the point that he was willing to leave his disciple to be with him in their absce.

While leaving the Royal Hall, the Cardinal thought about checking up on the two voys as well, just to make sure that he didn't miss anything important.

After an attack like this, they were all alone? Just what were they doing?

With the Minister of War still on his shoulder he quickly approached the room that was assigned to the Great Elders of the Demon Sect.

The closer he came to the room, the stranger expressions of guards and servants in this area became, some ev having their faces red in embarrassmt for some reason.

Soon, he reached the room that belonged to Elder R. He didn't ev have to op the room to understand what was happing on the other side.

He wanted to check the room using his consciousness but he understood that it could be detected by two great elders, no matter how distracted they were in their pleasure.

To not be misunderstood, he resisted the thought. Turning a, he swiftly left the Royal Palace, believing the Holy Emperor's words about the two voys.

He had already heard the stories about them from the Duke's Mansion. It wasn't shocking that they were still doing the same. What was truly shocking was that they were doing this after an assassination attempt on them.

Just how perverted could these brutes from the East be? He wondered as he left the Palace.

He quickly reached the Holy Church where many priests were looking at him in confusion, watching him carry a bloody figure on his shoulders.

Although he could heal the Minister of War, he didn't do that. He wanted the Holy Priestess to see him as he was found by him.
