 Chapter 21.2: 

 I knew that he has a fiance, so I wondered if it was okay for him to say this, but he is a person who has a harem while traveling to save the world. It’s also a mixed society, and he can’t change his habit. He mentioned that Serpence is harder to talk with, what is he talking about?

 

 “Does the Duke have trouble communicating with women?”

 

  I never felt that way, at least when he was with Solertia. When I asked Humanus such a question, his expression became subtle.

 

  “…Sir Zion, do you really not know?”

  “Lord Ribelon is somewhat… unconstrained by common sense, and tends to be free.”

 

  Behind the figure of Humanus looking at me with a surprised expression, Serpence with an unhappy expression can be seen. Still, it was even more wrong to somehow pretend to not be ignorant in this situation without forgetting my own settings.

 

  “Sir Zion, listen carefully.”

  “Yes Yes?!”

 

  Humanus looked into my eyes with a serious expression and said.

 

  “The qualifications of the master of the holy sword. Do you know what they are?”

  “Isn’t it a person with divine power born in the year the holy sword appeared?”

  “Other than that?”

 

  Other than that, there is a condition called ‘the strongest divine power’, but this will be broken.

  It is a fact that is not yet known, so I am obviously not saying this.

 

  “You know that priests of the Luxmea Church cannot marry, right?”

 

  I know. At the end of the original story, ‘Liena G. Preclarus‘, who gained the nickname ‘Saint’ through her journey with Humanus, was like that. She chose Humanus over the chance to become the youngest cardinal.

 

  This applies regardless of position or gender within the church, and there might have been an incident in which the Pope suddenly excommunicated himself for falling in love?

  For that reason, it is said that they needed to select a new pope in a hurry and there was a fuss.

 

  ‘At that time, I thought it was a way to show the maximum of Liena’s love for Humanus and shrugged it off…’

 

  Come to think of it, genetic factors play a big role in divine power, right? Occasionally, they appear out of the blue, such as mixed people or mutations, but they are very rare.

 

  Either way, the divine power that exists whether married or not does not disappear, nor does the divine power that did not exist when entering the temple without marriage is created. I don’t know why Luxmea made such a rule.

 

  ‘If you want to be the closest to yourself, you mean you have to cut ties with the world, what is it?’

 

  If that’s the case, they shouldn’t have made the genetic trait stand out. Anyway, for that reason, the great nobles of the empire have been blessed with divine power from generation to generation.

 

 Continuing the line, the nobles must have at least one child returned to the church. Except, of course, when there is no other person to inherit the family like Serpence.

 

  “Is that so…?”

 

  In the novel [Master of the Holy Sword], Humanus carried as many as four lovers, and never crossed the line. Seeing that,

 

  [*Caution* This novel strictly complies with all user review regulations.]

  [Are you saying you don’t know? There’s no need to check, it’s just the main character lol]

  [Everyone, please don’t be like that ㅠㅠ The writer is Mosol, he’s never dated before, he only wants the main character to do good deeds. He’s a pitiful person, so let’s have sympathy.]

 

  There was a comment like that… By the way, I agree with the last comment. Anyway,I didn’t think it’d be connected like this?

 

  “That’s why I can’t even marry Rainier…”

 

  Here, Rainier refers to the fiancee of Humanus, ‘Ranie T. Opulence’. By the way, if you look at it like that, it means that anyone who has relation to the relevant matter should not marry… right?

 But why is Humanus speaking like a stranger about this?

 

  “Is the engagement okay?”

 

“Well, it’s obvious who will be chosen anyway. It is said that the marriage ban is just an unwritten rule, but other than that… who is going to protect that?”

 

  He looked at Serpence with pitiful eyes and said. Growing up to become the master of the Holy Sword, Serpence did not receive any special titles. On the other hand, Humanus was crowned Crown Prince without hesitation. If he had the Holy Sword in mind, he should have postponed that too.

 

  Everyone has no doubt that Serpence will become the master of the Holy Sword, so he must have completely turned his attention from the Holy Sword.

 

  ‘Perhaps even the day of choice, doesn’t he think of it as a day when he has to be bothered to attend the temple?’

 

  Well, when I wondered why Humanus was not married at that age even though he was the crown prince, it must have been because of such a setting.

 

  ‘But, Humanus who speaks like that…’

 

  Serpence had a reason for that, and Humanus had a fiancée whom he loved who had a confirmed marriage with, but he was busy with what he was doing…

 

  ‘By the way, Renie’s baptism name was tenacia (stubborn/persistent), wasn’t it?’

 

  She is also a sacred power holder born on the day of the holy sword, and is a candidate for the master of the holy sword. Since she was upright without flexibility, it’s safe to assume that she obeys all rules. However, Humanus has a Casanova temperament, and it seems that he is popular with many young girls at banquets just by hearing the conversation before, but that is not…

 

  ‘Is he going to be caught by Rainie?’

 

  A reader once asked the author of [Master of the Holy Sword], ‘So, which of the four female protagonists is the woman that Humanus loves the most?’ and the author,

 

  [All four of them are loved equally. But if he had to choose among the five, would it be Rainier, the dead fiancée?]

 

  He replied that…

 

  Besides, Humanus was very weak to the woman he loved. Maybe he’s just keeping up with her stubbornness? After all, they’re gonna be a family.

 

  But If Humanus, who pretends to be understanding after doing nothing, does something wrong impulsively, and does not receive the Holy Sword, the continent will perish. If you ask me, it’s after the day of choice has passed.

 

  ‘If it really goes like that, I have to laugh out loud!’

 

  Of course I’m still here…

  In any case, it seems that Serpence and Solertia were so calm on the train because of those conditions.

 

 Solertia’s ‘alone’ was referring to me and her, pointing directly at me. When Serpence looked at me with disgusted eyes, he probably misunderstood that I had strange thoughts about her.

 

  ‘Why didn’t the original deal with these things, making people trash!’

 

  Or if at least all of Zion’s memory had completely become mine, this would not have happened. It feels like a dictionary made out of paper books, so unless I think about looking for it myself, it doesn’t come to mind right away.

  There is an advantage that I did not lose my identity thanks to that, but the way is very painful.

 

  ‘Well, in the first place though, this has to do with the Holy Sword, surely I should’ve remembered?’

 

  The assumption that the person with the strongest divine power is chosen by the Holy Sword is also wrong, isn’t it?

 

  ‘You must be able to believe….’

 

  In any case, Humanus left, saying that his fiancee’s escort was there, so he had to go first.

 

  “By the way, don’t you have an ideal type, Duke?”

  “I’m not really interested.”

 

  After Humanus left, I suddenly became curious and asked Serpence. I feel that the quick-response, which is very skillful, is clearly a prepared statement. Even the vending machine will be slower than that!

 

  “Isn’t there really? It’s like Young-ae, whom I secretly have in my heart, or the appearance that I think is my taste.”

  “No.”

  “But, when you look at the opposite sex, the first thing you look at, is?”

  “With a warm heart…”

  “Don’t give such a fake answer!”

  “···Face?”

 

  Really? Even if it wasn’t about the holy sword rule, the thought that Serpence might have been a single person passed through my mind.

  But if you think about it differently, his face is so good that he won’t notice average level looks.

 

  ‘Is it the right thing to consider first?’

 

  When I look at his face all day and suddenly look in the mirror in the bathroom, I am surprised at how ugly I look. I understand enough.

 

  “…Among all the women you’ve seen so far, has there been a case that she’s a little prettier or that one looks a little better than others?”

  “Everyone is alike.”

 

  Haha, if you just look in the mirror, there is an amazing beauty that looks out of this world, where would you find someone to your liking with human appearance?

 

  ‘Ah···. He probably won’t.’

 

 From my point of view, the human route seems hopeless unless we quickly stop and take the elf route, or intercept one of the upcoming female protagonists.
