Chapter 270
“Duke Grid! What are you doing outside today?”
It was Pascal, who was accompanied by his men . A person needed to bend in order to obtain anything big . Pascal was determined to obtain Grid and completely abandoned his pride . He placed his disgrace deep into his heart and acted politely to Grid . He also didn’t forget to have a bright smile on his face .
“Huh…?”
Pascal instructed his men to drop the treasure chest . His eyes shone . It was because he found Lifael’s Spear .
“T-This…”
The false smile that concealed his anger inside transformed into a real one .
‘Isabel seems to have finally died . ’
She was just like a cockroach . It would be more comfortable if she died .
‘It feels like a 10 year blockage has finally been relieved . ’
Rebecca’s Daughters were meant to follow commands . They should be controlled . In that sense, Isabel, Rin, and Luna were truly troublesome . The former Pope Ruiz, who led the church to the light, and the former Pope Drevigo who corrupted the church . These girls served both popes, so they grew to a level where they could judge right and wrong . Rather than obeying orders unconditionally, they questioned it .
It was serious .
‘They are tools . ’
For Pascal, who planned to make the Rebecca Church a part of the Saharan Empire, the current Rebecca’s Daughters were an eyesore . But now Isabel was dead, so his worries had disappeared . He would give Lifael’s Spear to a new owner, then order Rin and Luna to be removed in turn .
‘Finally, my world will come . ’
He felt like he was flying with joy . Pascal’s heart wanted to burst out . But he refrained after looking at Grid . Grid was looking at him with cold eyes . “A girl who had her life sucked out for Goddess Rebecca and the church has died . Why are you so happy?”
‘Sucked out?’
Pascal’s face distorted . He wanted to beat Grid up for using such words to diminish serving the noble goddess . But what about all his patience so far?
Pascal barely repressed his anger and opened his mouth . “As you have said, Isabel is a child who has served the goddess and the church for all of her life . That child is heading to the goddess’ side… She can serve the goddess forever in the world of the gods and live happily ever after . I am happy and proud, so I can’t help smiling at the thought . ”
‘Bullshit . ’
Grid couldn’t stand the nonsense . Pascal handed him the treasure chest .
“I wish you would accept this today . ”
[Pascal wants to give you 1 . 8 million gold . Would you like to receive Pascal’s gift?]
[If you receive the gift, you must unconditionally accept one of Pascal’s requests . ]
“Damian won’t be pope anyway . What can he do if he wins the hearts of the congregation? There are only 100 senior priests with voting rights and at least 80% of them are already mine . Duke Grid, please look at the future and make a wise choice…”
“I don’t want it . ” Grid interrupted Pascal’s words . “I have no intention of holding hands with you, when just looking at your face makes me nauseous . ”
Grid hated Pascal . This was because Pascal resembled those who tormented him in the past . He couldn’t erase the image of Pascal bullying Damian and Isabel in his mind . He would never hold hands with Pascal, even if he was given 100 million gold . In the first place, political issues were also intertwined .
“That’s too bad . ”
The smile had disappeared from Pascal’s face . His patience had reached its limit .
“Then is it fine to stop talking nicely? For the past few days, I have done my best to be friends with you, but you always mock my efforts and insult me . Don’t you know the meaning of courtesy?”
“Why should I be polite to you? Don’t you usually enjoy mocking and insulting your opponent?”
“Ack…!”
Grid’s attitude showed that he wouldn’t be persuaded . Pascal was nervous and spoke bluntly .
“Tell me what you want! I’m willing to give you whatever you want as long as you join my side! What would make you hold my hand?”
“You will give me anything?”
“Yes!”
“Hoh, isn’t this very tempting?”
There was finally a nibble . Pascal was delighted and prepared to listen to Grid’s requirements . Grid told him, “A thousand trillion . ”
“…?”
A thousand trillion? Was it the name of a treasure?
‘It is the first time I’ve heard of it?’
Grid spoke again to Pascal, who was struggling to understand .
“Give me one thousand trillion gold . Then I will be your true friend . ”
“This is crazy!”
He reflexively exclaimed . One thousand trillion gold was the empire’s treasury . No, it was an astronomical sum that would wipe out all the treasuries of the nations on the continent . Grid demanding such a ridiculous amount showed he wasn’t normal .
“What? Crazy? You said you would give my anything I want, but I’m crazy?”
“Ah, no . I became delirious due to my shock…”
Grid waved his hand at Pascal . He didn’t want to hear any excuses .
“The negotiations have collapsed . Then let’s each go our own way . ”
Grid reached for Lifael’s Spear . It was for the purpose of moving to the smithy . Then the silently watching Kamiyan aimed his sword at Grid’s neck .
“Leave Lifael’s Spear . How long is an outsider going to carry the item of the church?”
“…”
