chapter 34

Late at night, Kaekilia sat on her throne overlooking the central hall. Alone, for an entire day, with no one else present.

The hall, which could easily accommodate hundreds of people, was extremely quiet, and all the lights were turned off, creating an eerie atmosphere. The only source of light was the moonlight streaming in through the large glass windows.

Kaekilia crossed her legs, her right thigh resting on her left, leaning back on a throne adorned with red cushions and gold, her right elbow resting on the dragon-carved armrest, and staring at something in the center of the hall.

It was the corpse of something that had been called her brother in the past, already cold and frozen for a long time. The black blood that had been flowing out had already hardened. It no longer moved or stirred.

The moment the Holy Sword blossomed, the order had already changed, but there was another reason why Kaikylia brought the corpse here and watched it for a day.

"Did you say you don't know anything?"

A cold mutter escaped Kaikeliya's lips.

When ordered to tell everything about the new recruits, Iris replied that she knew almost nothing.

At best, all they knew was where they had met the new recruit, why they had brought him to the Order, and what had happened after he had been brought to the Order.

It wasn't particularly helpful information, except for the fact that he had been cursed by a witch and lost most of his memories and all of his abilities had been reduced to rock bottom.

"All abilities have deteriorated?"

The corners of his mouth slightly curled up. It was an action that clearly contained ridicule.

There was no lie in Iris' words. At least Iris herself, and the commander of the knights who brought in a new knight whose identity was unknown, firmly believed that the explanation she had given was the truth.

"Then, you must have lied."

Kaikeliya rose from her throne. Slowly, step by step, she began to descend the stairs. Her feet, wrapped in black boots, stepped across the red carpet.

The footsteps stopped in front of the corpse of a half-man, half-horse with a holy sword stuck in it. A cold gaze that started from golden eyes that were even more golden than gold slowly scanned the outer appearance.

A half-grown horn on the head. A face with a mouth that extends all the way to the ears. Wings covered in membranes that sprout from the back. Scales that grow all over the body. Arms and legs that have changed into reverse joints. Long, extended fingernails.

And, the wounds that emit a faint white light in response to the holy sword's divine power.

"Foolish. Did you think I wouldn't notice?"

As soon as Kaikeliah saw her brother the demon in the basement, she realized that his entire body was covered in scars carved by divine weapons.

It seemed as if he had intended to hide his wounds by utilizing the demon's inherent resilience, and had thrown it to the knight commanders to beat up the lord to their hearts' content, but it was all in vain.

The scars engraved by divine power on the body of an unclean thing are not something that can be easily hidden.

Although she may be inferior to the Popes of the Holy Kingdom of Raphael, who were considered to be nothing more than goddesses descended to earth, Caecilia was also someone who could wield the Holy Sword with her own strength.

Even if all the sacred weapons on the continent were gathered together, the weapon that would be considered to be more powerful than them was the Holy Sword, and it was impossible for a being capable of wielding the Holy Sword to not be able to discern the scars engraved with divine power.

Kaikylia gripped the handle of the holy sword tightly. Then, the faint white light flowing out from various parts of the demon's body became even darker. It was a short wound, but it dug deep into the inside.

It was a dagger mark.

"You have a dagger that has been blessed and imbued with divine power, yet you have lost your memory and do not even know who you are? Do you really think that will be a good excuse?"

The cold ridicule continued. A human who not only possessed the blessed dagger but was also able to wield it, lost his memories and had no abilities at all?

It was a lie. Given the scars engraved by the blessed weapon on this half-man, half-horse's body, he could not help but think that the new knight had lied to him.

Aurora was a woman with absolutely no fighting ability. Although she had matured in every way since her childhood, this was only a matter of appearance and personality, not of fighting ability.

The four knight commanders of the Knights of the Silver Dawn have outstanding fighting abilities, but they are also unable to wield divine powers.

It's only natural. Even if you loot the entire empire, there won't be a single human being who can use divine powers without being associated with the Holy Nation of Raphaella.

But it wasn't him. Kaekilia thought deeply.

Even though it is a weak demon that has failed to even devour a single human, in order to inflict significant damage on such a demon, one must be at least a novice nun of the Holy See.

Even women called novice nuns in the Vatican had the power to lead a large church outside.

That's what it meant to repel the devil.

"Everything contradicts itself, yet everything fits together."

The more I thought about it, the more curious I became about the identity of that rookie knight.

It is said that he wields divine powers that can inflict damage on demons, but he is cursed and all of his abilities have been reduced.

It is said that he has such great knowledge that he was able to obtain blessed weapons from somewhere, but he has lost all the memories that should support that knowledge.

Nothing is known about him, yet he acts as if he knows everything.

so.

"It can't be true that you don't know anything, right… …"

The corners of his lips that had been vaguely raised didn't think about lowering. It seemed like it was the first time in a long time, a really long time, that he was having such pleasant worries.

If everything the newbie says is false, then the contents of the letter sent by Aurora are also false. How could such a powerful person 'accidentally' find a book possessed by a demon? How could that be possible?
