While Leold was unconscious and lying in an underground cavity, there was a great uproar on the ground.
The rescue team was divided into two units: one to confirm the safety of Leold, who was probably underground, and the other to quell the commotion on the ground.
The Leold rescue unit led by Sylvia went underground and found Leold lying in the cavern.
They immediately rushed to his side to check on his safety and healed him with Anastasia's recovery magic.
When Sylvia learned that he was alive, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness. ......"
Sylvia brushes away the dirt on Leold's cheek as he sleeps peacefully, and gently strokes his cheek in a caring manner.
"I'm really ...... glad you're really safe."
Even though she believed in Leold's victory, she was still worried about him.
Thus, after confirming that he was safe and alive, Sylvia let out a relieved breath and gave orders to carry Leoldo to a safe place.
Following the order, Gilbert and Jex took a gurney and carried Leold to the ground.
The remaining Sylvia takes Isabelle, Anastasia, and the others to the Pope, who is lying on his back.
They fearfully approach the Pope to see if he is alive or dead.
His body is not moving up and down, and they let out a gasp of relief when they see that he does not react at all.
But the girls regain their composure and move closer to the Pope, knowing that it is not yet certain that he is dead.
They protected themselves with magic so that they would be safe from anything that might happen, and they approached the Pope's side.
Isabelle put her hand on the Pope's chest to check his heartbeat.
When she saw that his heart was not beating, she moved her gaze to his face to see if his eyes were dilated.
Finally convinced that the Pope was dead, Isabelle turned to Sylvia, who nodded and told her that he was dead.
"He is dead. His heart has stopped completely and his eyes are dilated, so there is no doubt about it."
'So ....... Then His Eminence the Pope, no, I correct myself. The great sinner Viktor Radcliffe will be taken away in accordance with international conventions."
Although already a corpse, Pope Viktor Radcliffe is guilty of clear hostilities and the subversion of the nation, so Sylvia has taken him into custody in accordance with the international treaty between the Empire, the Kingdom, and the Holy Land.
What will now take place is a judgment on the Pope's crimes.
Sylvia intends to take the matter back to the Kingdom and demand compensation from the Holy Land.
Naturally, Sylvia has no intention of forgiving.
She has already been at Leold's mercy, as well as her own, and she has driven him to the brink of death.
The three countries already know the worth of Leold.
The Holy Land will have to pay a large amount of compensation for this.
The amount would be so large that it could not be compensated even if the entire national government budget were poured into the project.
Leold is the man who restored transfer magic, the hero who brought the Empire War to an end, and a man whose achievements are unparalleled throughout the continent.
He is a man of exceptional accomplishments throughout the continent. It is only natural that Leold would attempt to kill him, even if it was only an attempt.
"Anastasia-sama. We will talk about this later."
"Yes. ......"
You are innocent, but ...... the Holy Church will be blamed by both the Empire and the Kingdom. Be ready for that.
"What will happen to the rest of us ......?"
"'You will not be executed, but let me just say that at least our relationship will not be the same as it has been in the past."
Later, the cardinals who are in charge of the Holy Land will be gathered to discuss this incident.
The pope alone is to blame, but a few inside the church, including Anastasia and Bridget, will expose everything and they will lose everything, but that is yet to come.
"Now then, let's get back to cleaning up the mess on the ground. Anastasia, this is your moment of opportunity".
Sylvia believed that now that the Pope was dead, the only one who could unite the Holy Land was Anastasia, a saint who was trusted by the people and adored by the holy knights.
"....Yes!"
The body of the Pope was taken to the ground, and Sylvia and the others returned to the surface.
On the ground, knights including Barbarot and Bridget were suppressing the riot, and Siegfried and his group were destroying the magic circle that had been deployed above the cathedral.
This depleted their magical power, and although they were not killed, the believers, betrayed by the Pope, were left in turmoil.
Then the saint Anastasia appeared, told the truth, and told her followers of the Pope's evil deeds.
Some of them were furious and others were mourning.
Fortunately, thanks to the Holy Knights, there were no rioters, but the believers were still left with great dissatisfaction.
Anastasia was depressed that she had created such a big problem, but she was also determined that she would have to do her best from now on.
The day after the Pope's rampage, Leold was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, in bed, listening to Sylvia's report of what had happened.
"So the chaos in the Holy City has subsided, and now they are working on restoring the church, treating the choir, the homunculus in the basement, and clearing up the evil that the Pope had done so far."
"Mugmug ......"
'Leold. I don't understand what you are saying. You must speak more clearly."
Leoldos face is bandaged, so he can't speak at all.
Sylvia, who knew this, twisted her mouth in delight.
Leold rips off the bandage, exposes his face, and makes a quip to Sylvia.
'No, you know I can't speak in this state ......."
"Hmph. ......."
Sylvia is laughing happily as she teases Leold.
After all, it is fun to tease him, and Sylvia smiles happily as if this moment is something special.
Seeing Sylvia smiling in a good mood, Leold wondered where the laughing factor was, and continued what he had just said.
'That's a hell of a thing to do, by the way. We came here to receive a blessing because we got engaged, but you almost died. ......"
"If possible, I would like to make the Holy Land pay a great deal of compensation, and I would like to drive them into a corner so that they will never be able to turn on the Kingdom again!"
Sylvia puffed up her cheeks and crossed her arms, revealing her anger.
Leold, finding the situation hilarious, covered his mouth with his hand and giggled so that Sylvia wouldn't notice.
'Well, let's discuss this back in the kingdom and think about it, shall we?"
'Yes, that's right. By the way, Leoldo, how is your health?"
"As you can see, there is nothing wrong with me. The recovery magic of Anastasia-sama has been upgraded to a higher level, I suppose."
Anastasia has grown dramatically as a saint in this battle.
The main fighter was Leold, but she was also fighting hard as rear support.
Thanks to her efforts, Anastasia's recovery magic improved to a higher level and she was able to heal Leold's wounds.
Leold decided to thank her later.
."If anything happen to you, Leoldo-sama, I will be ......"
"Thank you for your concern.'
Leold smiled as Sylvia clenched her fist tightly, shaking with sadness because she had a bad imagination.
"It's only natural I am your fiancée."
Sylvia, strangely embarrassed by this, turned her head away.
Leold smiled at Sylvia, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and spun awkward words.
"Sylvia, I'm glad you're my fiancee. I think so from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for believing in me to the end."
"! It's not fair! You said such a thing out of the blue! I'm not ready for this. ......"
"Hahahahaha! You're so cute, Sylvia."
"Hey,! Don't tease me!"
" I'm not teasing you. I mean it.'
"Please eat this and heal your body!"
"Mugg!"
Sylvia, who was about to be debauched if Leold praised her any more, forcefully shoved the apple Isabelle had cut into Leold's mouth.
Thus ended the event in the Holy Land, and Leold returned safely alive to his kingdom.
In the end, Sylvia almost choked him to death, but he was happy, so it was all good.
While Leold was unconscious and lying in an underground cavity, there was a great uproar on the ground.
The rescue team was divided into two units: one to confirm the safety of Leold, who was probably underground, and the other to quell the commotion on the ground.
