Chapter 123
“I… I forced Rin into this…”
The Vatican’s backyard
Isabel was crying with her face buried in her knees She felt guilty for dragging Rin here
“I wanted to refuse His Holiness’s command… But I was afraid… I kno much Rin hates the current Vatican… It is because of me… Rin came back here because of me…”
Cassus tried to soothe her, “If you refused His Holiness’s order, Rin would’ve been brought back by another person Rin will be grateful for being brought politely by a friend, rather than being dragged by someone else So please don’t beat yourself up about it”
“…”
Isabel slowly raised her head She looked at hi platinuently
“Rin… What will happen to her?”
The pope had convened the high ranking members of the church in order to deterive her per her become more anxious She didn’t want Rin to be treated unfairly
Cassus couldn’t say anything
‘Perhaps Rin will… She ht be deprived of her qualifications, or in the worst case, she can lose her life’
On the surface, Rebecca’s Daughters were treated as sacred beings only second to the pope and received everyone’s respect However, the senior hters as consu as the three divine artifacts were preserved, Rebecca’s Daughters could be replaced at any tihters are people who serve the pope They are a thorn in the eye of the current pope The pope ant new Rebecca’s Daughters, who are unconditionally loyal’
The pope would try to pass on the three divine artifacts to new people
‘Rin isn’t the only one in danger Maybe sooner or later, Isabel…’
Cassus’ heart dropped Rebecca’s Daughters were raised in the church They only kne to exist as enforcers of the church!
‘… Once they beco happening?
‘It is a poor fate’
Isabel was only 17 this year and Rin was 19
They were born with inherently high divine power and taught how to fight and be loyal to the church since childhood If they were abandoned by the church, would they be able to adapt to ordinary life? It would be even more unfortunate if they were killed It was too harsh for the the warmth of family, friends or even a lover
‘Also…’
Once new Rebecca’s Daughters were born ere absolutely loyal to the pope, no one would be able to stop the pope for any longer From then on, the Rebecca Church would walk the path of co out of hand
“Someone…”
Cassus, as usually stoic and expressionless, couldn’t hide what he was thinking He shed tears for the first time in his life
“Someone, please… Save us…”
“Cassus…?” Isabel was embarrassed by Cassus’ unusual appearance She had no idea what to do “W-Why are you crying all of a sudden? Huh? I-Is it because ofyou cry? I’ood Rin will be okay, and soht path”
Isabel was free-spirited Despite being harshly raised by the church, she had a strong personality There were many times when she made people tired, but she had a warm heart like sunshine She was in theher subordinates?
Cassus becaht of this sacred, beautiful and war
“Why is a big irl What a shame”
“…!”
Why was this voice faence of an unexpected figure and hurriedly looked back A black-haired youngtime, Cassus”
“Grid…!”
Winston Castle had asked for the support of a priest to make the Divine Shield, and Cassus had been dispatched At the time, Cassus had bonded with Grid while two Divine Shields were produced But he never dreaain
Why had Grid come to the Vatican?
“Why are you here… No?”
Cassus’ eyes widened in the ic power and blood of virgins co
“That cloak…!”
Isabel said, “That is Malacus’ Cloak”
“Malacus’ Cloak… Really?”
“Yes”
Isabel had several encounters with Malacus It was because she raided several sites where Malacus was offering virgins as sacrifices She was interrupted every tihty soldiers of Winston destroyed Malacus One of thosereat warrior”
“Ah! You!” Grid glanced at Isabel and was startled Then he becanized her “Shield Thief! No, Shield Thief Girl! Ah, this… Ah! That’s right! Was it Rebecca’s Daughter? Hey! Rebecca’s Daughter! Give me my shield!”
“What?”
Isabel had encountered Grid at Winston Castle But she didn’t remember Grid because she didn’t see Grid at the time Cassus explained to Isabel as puzzled by the nonsense “He is the blacksmith of Winston He is the creator of the Divine Shield that you are holding”
“O man has that type of blacksmith skill? Huh? But how can a blacksmith kill Malacus?”
Grid strode towards the puzzled and ad Isabel Then he unabashedly demanded, “Give me my shield”
Isabel was embarrassed “I appreciate the fact that you defeated Malacus But I can’t help you The Divine Shield is a dangerous weapon so we have decided to recall all of theive it back?”
“W-What?” Grid was dis these shields? Do you have any idea how great the value of the shield is? I can be rich if I sell it!”
“I understand but… I’m sorry It can’t be helped The policy has already been set”
“D-Daendary rated Divine Shield How could he be cal to be robbed of items worth hundreds of millions of won? In the end, Grid’s face turned red as he prepared to fight
“Blood won’t be shed if you give me the shield immediately”
