Chapter 48: Taking office (two in one)(1/2)
Francis sat down for lunch and then left, taking four or five rice balls by the way. Sakura was quite happy, but Kallen was a little dissatisfied.
The mysterious Arthur, who wore black robes and a raven mask all day long, stayed.
It was already clear that Karen was going to live in the City District, and Arthur became the young lady's personal butler.
Yaeji was looking forward to meeting Ned next time, and wondered what the expression on his face would be like after hearing the news.
Rumors about the marriage problems between the eldest daughter of the Kaslana family and Yae Ji soon spread throughout the Issian District.
As for the source of the news, frankly speaking Yaeji doesn’t know either.
He is now sandwiched between the Apokalis family and the Kaslana family. With Kallen's protection and Apokalis's ambiguous attitude, Yae Ji is still very confident about securing his position as the Inspector of the Siti District.
.
Now most of the Holy See's energy is focused on the game between the beast tide and other countries. "Little things" like his...
Two more days passed.
Arthur would routinely avoid it every morning because Yaeji wanted to teach the eldest lady and her friends that he felt he was not suitable there.
His sense of Yaeji had changed greatly in the past few days. The only thing he regretted was that he was not a child of the Kaslana family.
After two days of observation, Arthur was surprised to find that except for the last sister of the Yae family, who was in poor physical condition, Yae Ji and Yae Sakura both had invincible fighting abilities for their age.
You know, even the man who is called the ‘Destined God of War’ cannot perform so defiantly at this age.
The frail Yae Rin was excluded by Arthur, but Yae Sakura, who possesses excellent swordsmanship, made Arthur's eyes shine.
If this young lady could be dragged onto the Kaslana family's warship, Yaeji probably wouldn't be able to escape.
In the game involving two families, it is also possible that a direct member of the Apokalis family married the young lady.
This can also maintain a balance...
Only he knows what Arthur thinks. If Yae Ji learns that this man who can do anything for his sisters, if a dose of ghoul agent is used, it is still unknown what the consequences will be...
.
Afternoon.
Ned, who had a somewhat decadent temperament, came over. Who knows what he had been through these past few days.
Yaeji noticed that Ned was paying more attention to his sister Sakura, which made him very unhappy.
"Yae, the appointment is coming soon. Come with me to the Holy See tomorrow morning to get the appointment letter. By the way, you can get to know a few more people. It will also be good for you in the future."
Early the next morning.
Yaeji, who had eaten a rice ball as usual, followed Ned to the Holy See.
Towering spires, pointed arches, reliefs engraved with stories about destiny, and slender pillars standing one by one... This is the second time Yae Ji came to the Cathedral of Destiny.
Even after being baptized by the modern world of Tokyo Ghoul dungeon, when I see the Destiny Cathedral building again, I will still sigh in my heart.
Under Ned's leadership, it was easy to obtain the appointment letter, and he also became familiar with several high priests of the Apokali sect.
These high priests who knew some secrets were very polite to Yae Ji. If the people outside saw that these powerful high priests were so serious about a "child", they would definitely be shocked.
Yae Ji did not act too mature, but instead made her temperament closer to that of the Valkyrie after her retirement.
To learn from the Valkyrie’s temperament, his former captain ‘Arisa’ is definitely one of the representatives.
When the high priests talked about political affairs and other countries, Yaeji kept silent. He would only talk about things like the rebels, the Valkyrie troops, and the beast tide.
This made Ned feel relieved. In his opinion, it would be easy for Yae Ji to shape his character because he was still young. All he had to do was let him unknowingly favor the Apokalis family.
The person who was arranged before will definitely not be able to meet Yae Ji. Now the eldest lady of the Kaslana family is clinging to Yae Ji. If there is one careless operation... it may cause conflict between the two major families of Destiny.
friction.
Although the two families often get married and appear harmonious on the surface, in fact the secret struggle has never stopped, and there have been more than one frictions over trivial matters.
What’s more, as the eldest lady of the Kaslana family and the daughter of the destined ‘God of War’ Francis, Kallen’s marriage is by no means a trivial matter.
Even Francis, who has always ignored the political affairs of the Holy See, has gone. Isn't this a disguised confirmation? If he is seeking death... there is no doubt that he will become a victim of this background.
Fortunately, Yaeji was easy to control at his age, Ned thought carefully in his mind.
Everyone had different thoughts, but Yaeji didn't think so much. He was still thinking about his future father-in-law's property...
Just as everyone was about to walk down to the second floor of the Holy See, Yaeji saw two familiar figures!
...
"Auntie, I'm telling you, it's definitely not our turn to do such good things!" The girl, leaning against the wall, dressed as a Valkyrie, said to herself: "People are dying everywhere now, and the finances everywhere are tight. Those people
The old guy saw this in advance and kicked the ball to us."
"Okay now, I've been here for a few days, and I've signed a lot of various documents, but the money has not been approved! Let me tell you, there are a lot of troubles in the Vatican! A small priest actually dares to let us
Embarrassing!”
Colleen gritted her teeth: "If they have the ability, they can go to the front line to fight against the Honkai Beasts! Sitting in the church all day long is comfortable enough!"
"Okay, Colleen." The woman standing next to the girl said, with hard-to-conceal tiredness in her eyes.
The legion commander was not here, so they had no choice. At first, these people were quite polite to them, but later...
"Auntie, why don't we write a letter about this and send it to the legion commander? If she comes forward, those people will definitely not even dare to let out a fart!"
Daria's ears moved and she signaled her niece to shut up with her eyes.
Yaeji, who was about to walk downstairs, casually glanced inside...
Stop.
As soon as Yaeji stopped, Ned also stopped. Seeing Ned stop, the high priests also stopped and looked in the direction where Yaeji was looking.
"Familiar?" Ned asked.
"Yes." Yaeji nodded, "They are from the Eastern General Military Region. I took their carriage when I came here. I thought they had already left."
"I'll go take a look first, how about you..."
Yaeji turned his head, and a high priest saw the sign hanging in the corridor, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Let's go together."
Others agreed one after another.
So Yae Ji and the others walked in the direction of Daria.
Colleen felt disdainful and turned her little face aside, as if she didn't want to look at the priests who made her miserable.
Daria felt something bad in her heart. Could it be that they heard her niece's voice just now?
When the Valkyrie kills the enemy on the battlefield, it is a life-and-death fight, and life and death can be seen at a glance. And these high priests who stay in the church all day long to deal with the affairs of the Holy See, they all kill without blood! They are playing with their minds.
But no one can compare with them!
But...why does the leader look so familiar?!
The iconic pink hair, could it be that... Dariya's eyes lit up!
"Daria, Colleen, long time no see." Yaeji came to the two of them and said hello with a smile.
Because of the appointment letter, Ned specially asked Yaeji to dress more formally. An elegant custom-made priest's robe transformed Yaeji's temperament.
"Eight elements?"
Hearing her aunt's voice, Colleen also turned her head and saw Yae Ji and the high priests behind her.
Colleen seized the opportunity and told all the things she had encountered these days.
A famous archpriest received Ned's look and asked gently: "The pension of the Valkyrie is indeed a big problem. You only represent the Eastern General Military Region, not Hein and Mena?"
"Well! We only represent the Eastern General Military Region. We have submitted all the applications that need to be processed in the past few days, but there has been no movement. Moreover, the priest in charge has a bad attitude. He always keeps us waiting and is very impatient to ask questions."
Daria quickly signaled Colin to stop talking. Unexpectedly, Colin became more and more addicted as she talked, as if she wanted to tell all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.
The archpriest thought thoughtfully and said, "This attitude should be changed. Now that the finances of each legion are tight, it will definitely not be possible to approve them all. In this way, half of it will be used for emergencies first, and after the Holy See has finished handling the matters for a while, we will wait for a while."
Slow approval."
Daria and Colleen looked at each other and could only nod. They were very satisfied with the result.
Unexpectedly, the door next to me suddenly opened, and a man wearing a novice priest's robe leaned out and said with an extremely impatient expression: "I told you not to make noise at the door! Are you bothered? Why don't you let me go?"
...Gudu~”
The trainee priest's sleepy eyes gradually opened, his voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he even swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
"Sir, sir."
The high priest who initially helped Daria with advice frowned and said in an unquestionable tone: "Call your boss over!"
"Yes, yes!" The trainee priest trembled and hurried into the room.
After seeing Yae Ji talking to the high priests for a few more words, the young man with blond hair and green eyes even scolded them.
Colleen and Daria were shocked. Could that young man with blond hair and green eyes be... a member of the Apokalis family?
At first, they thought of Yaeji's status as being very high, such as the child of a powerful priest in the Holy See, or the son of a legion commander stationed in a country. They never expected... that she could actually be with Apokali.
Si family members got involved.
To be continued...
