"The Archpriest is… he's a man of the people, Gab. He scammed the money out of the Count's pockets and helped people set up businesses. All this loan is, in reality, some of the misplaced money from the direct donations the Count makes to the monastery. But since, by law, the monastery must reveal the spending of this money, they had to find loopholes. "They did so by showing the missing money as miscellaneous expenses that added up in time to more than three million gold graces. This man is a genius at…-

Sylvester had heard the name Degracia. It was a branch family of the main royal family of the Gracia Kingdom. It was not too powerful or wealthy outside the scope of the capital city, so it was amazing to see a mere boy from a branch family try to step on him. The Archbishop nearly boomed in anger, but Sylvester waved his hand and stopped him. "It's fine. We can help these hard-working, devoted men, I believe. They travel in such fine carriages on the hard roads, away from their homes, and eat tasteless…

"Seven days for war. Raftel Marcella lovers?" Felix nodded at the last part. "I felt something was going on in his mind. The man seemed hurt by her death. But, he said she was a very devoted woman, so did she cheat on her husband? Sir Dolorem, tell Felix about the bounty thing and that the Archbishop here…

The little fight was witnessed by all the commoners and a few clergy members from the monastery. It was given that the words would reach far and wide, even to the county across. Sylvester expected Felix was going to be received warmly when he reached Raftel county. But, he thankfully sent Sir Dolorem along because sometimes Felix lacked critical thinking in the heat of the moment. It was not his fault, however, he was just too young and inexperienced. 'Alright, let's move on with my investigation.' With…

"Meow!" "What?" "I sleep here!" Sylvester looked at Miraj with doubt. "What are you planning? You never before demanded to sleep by my chest. You… Chonky, by any chance, are you jealous?" "What? No! I'm not jealous of anyone. That's so immature, pfft." 'Yeah, pure lies.' Sylvester chuckled and let the furry cat enter his blank. "Dogs are cute and dumb creatures, Miraj. Trust me, they will never come close to how good you are. Besides, can they also be my cute little bank?" He asked him. Miraj…

There was a tense silence in the hall as the swords were pointed at all the nobles in the room. Even the Count felt he'd be killed by the sword of Lady Aurora the moment he moved wrong. He stuttered and sweated. "M-My Lady… I… I don't know what's going on… T-Th…" Sylvester was not a fool, however. "I know. You'd be the mightiest fool in the world if you dared to attack me or any of us in your own castle. Even if you could have killed me, Lady Aurora would have uprooted your entire County…

It was God's grace that the rest of the journey didn't face any problems, and they arrived at the large castle of Count Jartel. It was made of grey stone with a dense moat all around it. It was quite big in size, and the town around it was full of activities. "Even with all this wealth, the two brothers keep fighting," Sylvester muttered as they moved towards the castle's drop bridge. "Greed and lust are among the hardest sins to control, Archpriest. If they had controlled them, they'd be clergymen, not…

The crusade was a lengthy and messy campaign, and things are prone to go bad occasionally. No matter how much you prepare, there is always something, someone who just can't follow the rules and makes it their life's goal to abuse the little power they are given. Since the crusade also involved the knights and wizards from various kingdoms, the second sons and the useless ones, some units of crusaders sometimes did things that the church would never avow to. Although the leaders of each unit were church…

Boom! A blinding beam of light left Sylvester's palms. It boomed like lightning falling from the sky, covering everything around him, as its warmth erased the dreadful coldness. He strategically removed the solid shield of light around him and sent the beam straight toward the Shadow Knight. But he knew not if it struck him or not, as he could only see whiteness all around. But he didn't try to maintain the beam for too long. Finally, after three seconds, he stopped and brought back the shield around…

Sylvester felt out of breath just looking at the towering monstrous form of the Shadow Knight. Why was he here? What did he want from him? Is this what the thing talked about, all those years ago? About meeting again? While Sir Dolorem was panicking and looking at Sylvester the whole time, trying to think if he could do anything to save him if the thing went after him. But, he could not even move, no matter what. "Urgh!" But, shockingly, Lady Aurora was able to move, albeit so slowly that she seemed not…
