Chapter 122 – Visit to the Great Temple (1)
“Savior!”
I smiled awkwardly as I saw the Pope running from afar, his white priestly uniform flowing.
“His Holiness, how have you been?”
“I’ve been having a hard time waiting for the Savior to come.”
His face seemed to have improved from when I saw him at the wedding?
I couldn’t say anything and just smiled.
“Yesterday, I couldn’t even sleep at the thought of meeting the savior. Still, seeing the Savior like this gives me a lot of energy.”
Seeing him holding my hand and being happy like a child made me feel like I was really at my childhood home.
“I thought Your Holiness would be waiting for me, so I set aside everything else and came to see you first.”
“Oh, is that so? Did you miss me that much?”
The Pope laughed and waved my hand. In the meanwhile, the cardinal and the other priests who were there to meet me also looked at us happily.
“How have you been?”
“We have been well. Nice to see you again.”
Upon my arrival, Cardinal Levran, acting as a representative, warmly welcomed me, and the joyful expressions on everyone’s faces indicated their happiness at my arrival.
“The person who came with you seems to be someone I saw at the wedding last time.”
“This is Stella, my aide. In a few months, she will be Duchess Buccleuch.”
Stella, who had been a few steps away, came closer.
Ever since accepting Mason’s proposal, Stella had been diligently making preparations for her upcoming wedding. With Duke Buccleuch in the process of transferring the title to Mason before the wedding, she was on the verge of becoming the Duchess.
“If it’s Buccleuch… it looks like she’s getting married to the chancellor. Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
Stella replied shyly when the Pope congratulated her.
“It must have been a journey coming this far, so please go in quickly.”
After following the Pope into the Great Temple, I arrived at the room where I had stayed before with Declan.
“I told you, right? I decorated the savior’s room.”
The Pope’s gold eyes glittered with excitement and anticipation.
“I was comfortable last time…”
“At that time, I couldn’t help it because we were in a hurry to prepare, but it’s the place where our Savior will be staying, so we can’t neglect it.”
The Pope shook his head resolutely, saying that he would never do that, and opened the door with a grin.
“Ah.”
Unlike the all-white interior of the Great Temple, colorful colors embroidered the room. In addition, there was a soft sofa, desk, bookshelves, and even cute ornaments where there was only essential furniture before.
An exclamation came out spontaneously as it looked like a different world had opened through the door.
“Do you like it?”
The Pope, who was watching my reaction, carefully asked.
“It’s really pretty.”
“I’m glad you like it. Our priests put their heads together and thought hard about it for days and days.”
Looking back, I saw the relief and pride on the priests’ faces as they stuck their heads out.
“Thank you so much for caring. It’s like coming to a real family home.”
As I gently embraced the pope, he patted my back and spoke softly.
“It’s rewarding that you like it. We had a lot of fun preparing this room.”
The words warmed my heart and made my eyes tingle.
“Thank you all. I really like it.”
I said so even to the priests standing outside the gate. When I expressed my gratitude, they all smiled happily.
“Miss Este’s room is prepared opposite here.”
Stella’s room was beautifully decorated, though not as much as mine. With her gratitude, the Pope and priests left us to take a rest.
“I don’t think he is His Holiness that I knew.”
Stella, sitting across from me on the sofa in my room, gave a small smile.
“Stella, have you seen His Holiness before?”
“I met him when I visited the palace for Epist, and I thought he was a dignified person.”
“I felt that way too when I first met him. When I met him again after becoming a human, that image collapsed.”
“I like the way His Holiness looks now. If I had a grandfather, I think he would be like that.”
“That’s right, I thought so, too.”
Sometimes it was embarrassing, but even that was so cute that it made me laugh.
Above all, his unconditional affection for me warmed my heart whenever I met the pope, including the other priests. Maybe that was why when I came here, I really felt confident and comfortable, as if I was at my parents’ house.
It was another reason for not being lonely in this world.
“Your Majesty, you spoke respectfully to me again. I told you not to do that.”
“What to do, it’s very awkward?”
Stella was my first close friend in this world. Besides, it was so awkward to talk casually all of a sudden.
“Savior is now the Empress. I am Your Majesty’s aide and lady-in-waiting. You mustn’t speak so respectfully to me.”
“We did well in the imperial palace. So, can’t we just do what we normally do while we’re here?”
Stella looked perplexed when I asked with drooping eyebrows drooping. When it came to etiquette, there was nothing that went through the thorough her, so I had to use the last resort.
“It is an order.”
“You’re getting good.”
Stella let out a small sigh and reluctantly backed down. When I laughed, she smiled at me, saying she couldn’t stop me.
“Anyway, I didn’t know that the chancellor would send Stella. Preparations for the wedding are in full swing right now.”
I thought there would be many things she would have to learn as a duchess, not to mention wedding preparations.
She said she would do her job until the wedding. After repeated persuasion, Stella, fortunately, agreed to work only a month before the wedding, but Stella seemed to be dissatisfied with that too. As a result, I began to look into Mason.
In that situation, she went out with me instead, so I was worried.
“Don’t worry. There won’t be any problems if I’m away for a few weeks.”
“Still, I feel sorry for the Chancellor.”
“Don’t do that. He promised. He’ll let me do anything I want to do.”
“So it’s okay.”
Stella smiled brightly.
‘Was I getting worried for nothing?’
Come to think of it, even in the original story, Mason always respected Stella’s wishes.
“Then, I’m relieved. I was honestly worried because Stella told me that you would work as an aide even after your marriage.”
Stella said that after her marriage, she could not work as a lady-in-waiting, but she wanted to continue working as my aide.
I thought she would be too busy looking after the Duchy’s internal affairs, so I tried to dissuade her, but she was firm. She mentioned that before she was a duchess, she was a Kefiena, so she said she wanted to do her part until she died.
In the end, I surrendered to her resolute attitude of hers. She could never yield. I never knew that Stella was so strong and stubborn.
“I am only assisted with temple-related work. I can do that much.”
Should I say that she was at least fortunate that she did not come forward to assist the empress and her duties as the savior?
“Thank you. Stella is always with me, so I’m reassured.”
“It is a pleasure and an honor for me to be with Your Majesty.”
Me and Stella looked at each other and smiled happily. The next day, the two of us settled into the spacious workroom the Pope had provided for us.
“I think I’ll write the holy language on the left and the imperial language on the right.”
I took one of the papers piled on the desk and explained it to Stella.
“Then, I’ll write Ielro’s national language and Etilla’s tribal language under the Imperial language.”
We are making a holy language education textbook right now. Since I was the only person in the world who knew the holy language, it was necessary to educate the priests. So even after I die, the holy language would be passed on.
“It will take several days, so take it slow.”
Knowing Stella’s passion, I told her in advance, but her eyes were already full of motivation.
‘I should ask her to rest.’
With that thought in mind, I picked up a pen and began to sort out the spelling and words of the holy language. For a while, only the rustling of paper and the sound of pen nibs were heard in the workroom.
Knock, knock.
“Come on in.”
“Savior, please rest while you do it.”
The Pope opened the door and spoke anxiously. Behind him, priests holding refreshments were seen.
“I was thinking of a cup of tea, thank you.”
“I got the timing right.”
The Pope was pleased and led me and Stella to the couch as the priests who came with him poured tea into the cups, the fragrant aroma of tea passed by the tip of my nose.
“Try it.”
As I drank from the teacup, the warm tea gently passed down my throat.
“It is light and delicious.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
The Pope, who was seated across from me, also raised a cup and sipped the tea. Stella, who was sitting next to me, also had a relaxed face, finding it suited her taste.
“All the priests are looking forward to the news that they can learn the holy language. It’s all thanks to the Savior.”
“I’m just delivering it with the ability Rohim gave me.”
“And the role is very big? Without the Savior, we would still be half-priests.”
The Pope’s golden eyes turned vague but soon returned to tranquility.
“It’s still the beginning, but would you like to take a look?”
I handed over the document I was working on to the Pope, whose eyes were shining with anticipation and curiosity.
“The left one is the holy language and the right one is the imperial language interpretation.”
“Oh, this is how it works.”
The Pope’s face showed joy and excitement as he slowly turned over the documents I handed him.
“When the textbook is complete, I would like to teach you myself during your stay. Would that be okay?”
I would make a textbook in detail, so they would be able to study just by looking at the interpretation of the imperial language. However, language was limited by only textbooks. As they study, they will definitely come up with questions.
“The Savior yourself?”
The Pope’s eyes widened as if he hadn’t expected that far.
“Yes. I want to do it for as long as I have time.”
“Oh, as expected, our Savior is benevolent. All the priests will be delighted.”
The Pope’s eyes, who put his hands together in front of his chest, became teary.
For a moment, I remembered ‘Puss in Boots’ from the cartoon, so I raised my teacup and covered my mouth. Seeing that Stella also raised her teacup at about the same time, she must have felt the same emotions as me.
I let my laughter flow into the tea water.
“Your Holiness, among the records kept in the secret archives, I think I’ll have to work on those in the holy language.”
“You can do that slowly. It’s something priests can do once they learn the holy language.”
Don’t overdo it.
The Pope waved his hand.
“Still, I want to do as much as I can. So could you pick out a few things that are urgent and important?”
Since it was an ability acquired without any special cost, I wanted to do as much as possible if it helped others.
“…Savior.”
In the end, I smiled shyly as I saw the Pope taking out a handkerchief and dabbing his eyes. When we quickly changed the topic, he, who quickly changed to a bright expression, continued the conversation.
“Actually, I didn’t expect the savior to visit me so soon.”
The person who said he waited with his head drooping every time I sent a letter said this? Looking at me curiously, the Pope smiled.
“I thought the Emperor would not let you go. Aren’t you a newlywed?”
“He was worried if it was going to another country, but he didn’t object.”
He was really worried. From choosing the carriage to selecting the escort knight, Liam’s always calm expression was about to change.
Still, he did not object.
He just asked if it would be okay to put it off until later.
At that time, I remembered how his eyes were drooping, pretending to be pitiful, and I smiled without realizing it. When I saw the Pope smiling happily as if he knew whom I thought of, he quickly straightened his face.
