Siegfried and Anastasia felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Leoldo with an ominous smile on his face. What on earth does the man in front of them intend to demand? After all, this man may be evil in a different way from the Pope.

"Saint, Anastasia. I have been studying a little about the history of this country. I found out there that there is a holy sword in this country. Now, do you understand what I'm saying so far??

"No way! Are you trying to take away Master Sieg's holy sword? This is the one he obtained by breaking through the trials of the holy sword. You can't even hold it, let alone wield it if you are unqualified!"

". Yes, I know that. I was a little short of words, wasn't I? What I want is something different."

"Different? What the hell is that? ......"

"'Tears of the Goddess Deus Tiara. I want the crown tiara with the jewel in it. Saint Anastasia, you have it, do you not?'

"How did you know?"

"I said, I know it. So, what about it?"

"I have the crown in which the tears of the goddess are imbedded, but only the saints can possess it. I think it is unnecessary for the Harvest Frontier Count."

(Well, you think so, don't you? But I don't want the crown, I want the jewel. So, give me the jewelry once you remove it from the crown and I will give it back! (Give it to me already!)

 What Leold wants is a jewel called the Tears of the Goddess attached to the crown. At first glance, it appears to be nothing more than a simple diamond, but in fact, like the phoenix's tail feathers, it is an item that can revive the dead. However, it is a one-time use item.

 Nevertheless, it is a one-time disposable item. But since it can help a person avoid death, it is an item that Leold would like to have at his disposal.

" . But I'm saying I want it. If you can't agree to those terms, then we're not having this discussion. Go home."

"Well, wait a minute! Leold understands that! You know that the Pope's ambition can't be stopped unless we work together!"

 That was a bad idea. Certainly, with Siegfried's help, the probability of stopping the Pope's ambitions would have increased. But Leold could have stopped it without Siegfried's help. However, the probability would be a little lower because his forces would still be smaller.

"Isabelle. The two of them are going home. Show them out."

"Pardon me, ".

"Awe! Wait a minute! I'm not done talking with you."

"I'm done talking to you. Now get the hell out of here."

 With these words, Leold broke off the conversation and looked away from them. Unconvinced, Siegfried tried to approach Leold, but was halted when his guard, Barbaroth, thrust his sword at him.

"I'm not going to let that pass unnoticed any longer."

......"

"Wait a minute! I am sorry for my many insults to you, Harvest Frontier Count. I give you this as a gift of apology, and I hope you will consider it one more time."

 Bowing her head, Anastasia presented the crown with the goddess' tears that Leold had wanted.

(Yikes, I'm totally a bad guy here. ......)

Seeing Anastasia trembling as she offered the crown, Leold realized once again what he was doing. He is a completely villainous nobleman. He is hunting down the weak and squeezing them for gold and treasure.

 However, Anastasia would not have given the crown to Leold otherwise. After all, she and Siegfried had gone through the trials together and obtained the crown, so she had to put some thought into it. She was unwilling to surrender such a precious item. She must have felt a pain as if she were being cut to ribbons.

"Fine. I have seen your sincerity, Saint Anastasia. I must respond to you as well. Siegfried, I will cooperate with you on this matter."

"Thank you, ......."

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Siegfried was ashamed of his actions, as he felt that Anastasia had been hurt because he had gone out of his way to help her.After having secured Anastasia's cooperation, Siegfried decided to go ahead with the plan and asked Leold to help.

"Now then, let's exchange information with each other."

Siegfried felt anger toward Leold, who was smiling in a pleasant mood, but he calmed his anger by realizing that he had brought this all on himself.

Leold and Siegfried then discussed what they knew about the situation.

"First of all, I know that the Pope is planning to resurrect the evil god, Well, that's all I know.'

 Hearing this, Siegfried almost shouted, but he covered his mouth with his hand just in time.

 In fact, Leold knew that the Pope was going to resurrect the evil god, but he did not know how he was going to do it. In any case, all he knew was what he had learned in the Destiny 48 game. In other words, he knew almost nothing at this point.

"What else?"

"There are a lot of things I don't know. I've been gathering information, but nothing is solid."

"Well, then ......!"

Siegfried was about to say that Anastasia had gone to great lengths to give him this valuable item, but was silenced by Anastasia's grip on his clothes.

"So, what do you know on your side?"

'We don't have much information. First of all, about the resurrection of the evil god, apparently they are going to bring down the evil god into a homeunculus that is being manufactured in the basement of the church. And it seems they need the souls of the saints and the souls of the children."

(Hmm. The same thing that they need the souls of saints and children, but I didn't know a homunculus was involved. ......)

A homunculus is an artificially created human being, which existed in ancient ruins and other places in the destiny 48.

"I see. ...... So that's why he summoned His Highness and you."

 In other words, it was an insurance policy. The Pope had prepared Sylvia, Anastasia, and Astraea in case something happened to the saints.

"Ignoring the homunculus, as long as we can prevent the ritual, it will be fine. For now, let's make a plan."
