The Saint Was the Devil’s Henchman

145 episodes

There was an unknown sense of intimidation from Cynthia.

Ethan’s eyes widened.

“You can’t just say goodbye like that.”

“Ah, is that so?”

“Of course. Most importantly, you didn’t ask what happened in Central.”

“It happened in Central… … . Is there anything wrong?”

It was annoying to say it out loud.

Why are you asking yourself if you’ve seen it all in the report anyway?

Ethan couldn’t understand Cynthia’s heart at all.

Cynthia asked, seemingly embarrassed.

“Is there anything wrong?”

“yes.”

“Still, in front of me… … .”

That was when I was about to tell him to tell me.

Someone’s voice was heard outside the tent.

“My Majesty the Princess, this is Vivian. may I come in?”

“Vivian?”

Cynthia was puzzled.

She never called Vivian here.

But the polite request could not be ignored.

“You can come in.”

“thank you.”

Vivian, who soon entered the tent, was polite to Cynthia.

Seeing the scene, Ethan opened his mouth.

‘No, why is he here?!’

As Ethan knew, Vivian was an ordinary aristocratic lady without a proper title.

But how did you come to this place?

While Ethan thought so, Vivian politely greeted Ethan as well.

“See you after a long time, Priest Ethan.”

Ethan’s eyes narrowed.

It was completely different from the kangaroo-like appearance he was familiar with.

‘what? Why do people look like that when they say hello?’

When Ethan stared openly and strangely, Vivian was perplexed.

“I don’t know what changed my mind, but it doesn’t seem right.”

Eventually, Vivian opened her axe’s eyes.

“What kind of change of heart? I was just acting in place.”

“Then what did you come here for? Hopefully this time, I’m going to do some weird shit… … .”

Vivian made a strange noise, fearing that Ethan might reveal his hidden side.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh, come on! I just followed my father to fulfill his responsibilities as a nobleman. What nonsense are you talking about?”

As the two continued to quarrel, Cynthia tilted her head.

“Do you two know each other?”

Vivian said ‘huh’ for a moment.

It wasn’t like this with the princess by her side.

Vivian smiled awkwardly and nodded.

“We met at a banquet held at home, and this is how we meet. Human relationships are very rare. ho ho ho.”

“Oh yeah?”

It was a very brief explanation.

However.

‘Why do you feel this way?’

Cynthia suddenly felt depressed.

Up until now, I was so excited that I didn’t fit in my seat, so I tried to restrain myself.

However, after Vivian broke in, my mood sank to the bottom.

Cynthia’s eyes captured Ethan standing next to Vivian.

Dunsell of Miles Kingdom.

It was the city where plague, green death, was first discovered.

Most of the reinforcements who arrived here left to face the rebels on the entrenched front.

And some troops remained and set up a camp nearby to investigate the plague.

Vivian was writing the report at the camp.

‘You must have entered the city by now, right?’

The reinforcements arrived here only last night.

But Ethan was the first to enter the city without taking a break.

It was because I had something to check.

On the other hand, Vivian remained at the camp and was assigned to listen to reports from knights and soldiers and organize them.

He was helping his father, who was the regent.

Then, suddenly, a shameful memory flashed through her mind.

– Whoa whoa whoa! Oh, come on! I just followed my father to fulfill his responsibilities as a nobleman. What nonsense are you talking about?

widely!

Vivian put the pen down and ripped off her hair.

‘it’s crazy! What’s that scream about the Lady theme? Even in front of His Majesty the Princess!’

To show such an ugliness in front of a person who seems to embody an elegant dignity!

Vivian continued to ponder what happened when she reunited with Ethan.

When we met again, I promised over and over again that we would show a more mature image.

But that promise went in vain.

‘It’s all because of him!’

bang!

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Vivian hit the desk.

Ethan’s eyes seemed to say something like this.

– I know your true nature, so do it in moderation.

It was strange.

‘Have I ever acted so strangely in front of him?’

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Vivian pondered.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I’ve never done anything that would be ridiculed.’

Of course, Vivian didn’t know.

Ethan had hidden his identity and had met Vivian.

That was when Vivian’s troubles continued.

A soldier suddenly ran in and reported.

“Wow, that’s a big deal! It seems that Priest Ethan has been exposed to a plague!”

“what?”

In an unexpected event, Vivian kicked off her chair and jumped up.

* * *

“Gosh! You must not go in there, Priest!”

“Come out now!”

“What are you going to do if the priest dies too!”

Behind the scenes, people were crying and screaming.

Ethan was in the most strictly forbidden area in Dunsell.

Soldiers and citizens ripped off Ethan.

But Ethan didn’t care. He touched and treated people in the forbidden area.

“Wow! Wow!”

One of the patients vomited blood into the basin.

Ethan’s eyes narrowed.

‘Blood is green, not red.’

Whenever patients vomited or convulsed, people outside the area were terrified.

“Gosh.”

“What is this really?”

But Ethan was different.

He calmly looked at the symptoms of the patients.

Raise the patient’s arm and check the swelling on the skin.

Then, he lifted his eyelids and checked the pupils of his pupils.

“My child, can we live?”

The mother of one child asked anxiously.

Ethan spread divine magic in his hand.

The child, who continued to pant after vomiting, regained stability.

Of course, it was a temporary measure.

Holy magic could not cure the plague.

If it had been possible, Miles wouldn’t have had a headache.

“First, keep drinking clean water and keep your forehead cool.”

Ethan gave a simple instruction.

“Thank you very much. Thank you, Priest.”

The child’s mother kept her head down.

It was because Ethan was the only one who came to this limb where many people had fled.

After checking the symptoms of the patients, Ethan confirmed that his guess was correct.

‘It was also a green death created by the Plaguecaster.’

Symptoms characteristic of green death were clearly developing.

Fortunately, the plague was less cruel and less venomous than before.

They were just rushing to follow the plague of 100 years ago.

‘But I tried to imitate it properly.’

It was certain that he was the one who inherited the plaguesmith’s lineage.

However, he didn’t seem to have surpassed the plague wizard Kha’Zix a hundred years ago.

‘Nothing has improved from what the plague magicians at the time made.’

When Ethan was diagnosing and treating people for a long time.

Someone’s voice was heard outside the border.

“Priest, what are you doing?!”

It was Vivian.

She looked at Ethan in disbelief.

In fact, it was normal.

Although they arrived at the source of the plague, all investigations were being carried out while closely monitoring the spread of the disease.

This area was a place where thorough magical measures were taken to prevent the plague from spreading outside.

But Ethan ignored those things and entered the border altogether.

There he touched and stayed with those who were plagued by the plague.

“Once you go in there, you will never come out again! You won’t be able to come to your camp.”

“I know.”

“I beg your pardon? Did you know that you just went in there?”

“yes.”

Ethan’s dignified attitude made Vivian absurd.

As the startled Vivian sighed, Ethan said.

“If we find a cure for the plague, we will leave immediately.”

“A cure? that’s so easy… … !”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Vivian was conscious of her surroundings and shut her mouth.

This is what she originally wanted to say.

-If you could find a cure so easily, would you have stayed at Miles? How do you find a cure for yourself that even Miles hasn’t found for a long time?

However, this was not something to be said in front of the patients.

They were the people who had even a shallow hope with the appearance of Ethan.

There were no words of despair to them.

“If we need anything, we will contact you from outside the district, so please be aware.”

Ethan just calmed down.

Seeing Ethan like that, Vivian was at a loss for words.

* * *

“You are really great.”

The regent muttered blankly as he looked at Ethan from outside the border.

There was no choice but to exclaim spontaneously.

Others had entered the midst of the plague that they did not want to go even if they died.

And without the slightest fear.

Even though I got to know Ethan well in Velium, I developed a new respect for Ethan.

priest?

In the judgment of the regent, Ethan was not very suitable for a priest.

political skill.

bold judgment.

All of these were elements that did not suit the priest.

Rather, it was a characteristic that wizards or nobles who prefer luxurious things have innate or acquired.

But Ethan didn’t seem to have acquired such a thing.

‘I think it’s innate.’

And surprisingly, Ethan was dealing with what he was born with.

That was the reason Ethan did not suit him as a priest.

But seeing this self-sacrificing side, I had no choice but to admit it.

‘Are you saying that there are sick people who can enter and heal even at the risk of death?’

I couldn’t help but think that way.

The regent smiled sadly at Ethan’s posture as a priest.

It was just like what happened in Velium.

I remembered Ethan, who had set out to save the remnants of the Empire.

“Now that you are in there, it’s good. You can look inside it.”

“It will happen if we take care of only the critically ill.”

“Haha, what more do you need?”

“Just give me some more herbs. Oh, and a meal.”

The regent listened to Ethan.

And I checked the patients beyond Ethan.

In fact, the patients inside were not even eating properly.

Their only meal was a single potato.

Ethan, meanwhile, was worried about the patients’ meals.

“If there is any food available in this area, I will give it to you myself. And medicinal herbs will be available in the near future.”

It was difficult.

Even if he was the regent, it could not be easily guaranteed.

It was a city plagued by plagues.

It would have had an effect on nearby areas and burned everything that could be contagious.

Food was no exception.

Naturally, there was no food here, so he would have to ask nearby cities to buy food.

Above all, it was an exhibition.

The rebel army and the kingdom army were buying all kinds of food and manufacturing them as preserved food suitable for war.

The situation with medicinal herbs had to be the same.

It was the only way to heal soldiers on the battlefield.

The regent could not have known about it.

But he couldn’t refuse Ethan’s request.

It’s a bit cumbersome, but what about Ethan’s troubles, taking the risk and entering the off-limits area himself?

“Your soldiers are agitating. So I hope I can get out of there as soon as possible.”

Before leaving the seat, the regent gave a new request.

Ethan nodded his head.

Ethan’s reputation grew day by day with what happened at Central.

Therefore, Ethan had to keep in mind that the morale of the soldiers could be lowered when he did something wrong.

Even when he was the demon king’s henchman, it was a tedious experience.

“I will be leaving soon.”

Ethan said briefly.

However, the Prince Regent left without saying a word.

Although I couldn’t express it, it was because I had faith in Ethan.
