Sylvester finished his meal and prepared to move out as soon as the twenty-five men platoon reached him. He just wished to reach the Count's land as soon as possible because if they mobilised their armies before he reached, it would become tough to convince them to move back. Nor would they give him time to find the real culprit. "Sir Dolorem, let's take a walk," Sylvester called the old man along. Thankfully, this time Lady Aurora didn't go along, nor did Gabriel or Felix. Sylvester and Sir Dolorem…-

"Dungface?" When Sylvester exclaimed, the man turned around and recognised him in a heartbeat. Dungface didn't speak much, however, so he just walked to Sylvester and knelt as if he prayed to god. "Dungface thank big lord." Sylvester knew that the man was mentally slow, so he didn't try to correct him. Instead, he forced him to stand up as he felt nothing but pure unadulterated worship from him. "Thank me? Why?" "Dungface dirty. Big lord give money for new clothes." 'Ah! I remembered ordering the last…

The wrestling match started as soon as the baron cleaned the blood off his head. Sylvester didn't pull his punches against the baron, however. He wanted to teach the man a lesson to not mess around because if any hateful adventurer had taken the quest and had come, he could have just killed the baron in a legal duel. There was no point in putting one's life in unnecessary danger. If he really had so much free time and energy, then use it to help his people, spread the word of the Lord or make…

"Are you sure? We will be travelling through various lands, some dry and some wet. This big carriage can easily get stuck in the mud." Sylvester pointed out. But, as he walked closer to check the carriage up close, he noticed a few strange lines all over the wheels and hull. In no time, he realised that it was full of runes. "Forget it. Let's just go." 'So one can use runes this way as well? It must have cost a fortune.' He had noticed runes that should be able to make the carriage wheels resist water…

The entire hall erupted in audible murmurs as they digested the announcement. A crusade was a massive matter because it could be violent and vast. So many people participate in it, and it could last for years at a time. Besides, the Crusade gives the church absolute power over the ruling of Kingdoms. Except for the Kings and Dukes, the Church can at any time kill a noble as long as they are proven to be heretics at the order of an Archbishop. "Silence!" The Pope boomed this time, appearing serious as his…

The Portrait turned out very nicely by the end of the day. Sylvester just took it and headed home to show it to Xavia. She loved to collect anything Sylvester-related. But as he arrived, he noticed a few clergymen were also climbing the stairs and stopped in front of his apartment's door. He instantly turned serious and prepared to react if anything happened. "How may I help you?" He walked up to them. From their rank plates, all of them were Master Wizards, and according to their Mitre, one was a Bishop…

"The Devil's Manifesto? What is that supposed to be about?" Sylvester didn't explain. Instead, just give him the following few words in the book title. "The full name is 'The Devil's Manifesto: From Faith to a Wraith'. The book will be about how some clergymen fall from faith and commit sin in the name of Solis." "What is the aim of this book?" Felix asked. Sylvester didn't answer truthfully, however. "Just to educate the masses." 'And create an image among the masses that I stand against corruption in…

That night, Sylvester realized the power in words, as he gained the unspoken loyalty of the Bright Mothers, and as long as he strived to help them, he could gain so much more from them. So he reckoned why not simply extend the gifts of undergarment to all of them. However, he knew it was not a topic that women would be happy to talk with him about. So, he asked Xavia to help him by asking around for the size of the bust and for the Bright Mothers who know sewing to come forward and help. But, he didn't…

Sylvester had never expected someone would do such a thing for his birthday, so he was taken aback by the crowd shouting and cheering for him. He was used to people screaming for his death, not this. "Of course, dear. I'm your mother; how can I be wrong?" Xavia came forward. 'Ah! Wait... I mistook my birthday in this world with the past one.' He quickly realized the mistake in his mind. He looked around and noticed that the Bright mothers from the whole building had come there to celebrate with him.…

"So, what are we gathered here for? I had some training to do, you know." Felix complained as he found himself standing in the middle of a warehouse in the Guild Peninsula early in the morning, just after their training—also known as beating. "We are going to make something called a bra. It's a garment that's worn by women to hold their breasts up and in shape, so when they work around, they don't feel pain from extreme movements." Sylvester gave them a crash course about the…
