"d*mn. Don't they know what they're doing? What the hell do they think they're doing?"

"...... I guess all I can say is that it was the wrong time. After all, just a few days ago we were engaged in combat.

"That said, you should be a little more flexible. Shouldn't we be able to pass through the city without being blocked?　We're in an emergency situation where the King of the Immortals may be back."

"That's right. But although we have sent our voice, the other nobles may not be able to judge whether it is correct information or not. It takes time just to verify the facts, unlike Fontana.

"Even so, it would be too much to go to the Holy City via the eastern side through the Memento Territory, wouldn't it?　How far do you think it's going to be?"

　As I had stated at the council meeting, I was going to go to the Holy City to defeat Naja.

　But then, as I was making preparations, I was interrupted.

　To my surprise, I was told that I would not be able to travel the shortest distance to the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Holy City is located in the southwest of the King's Landing.

　The best way to get there would be to simply go south from the Kingdom of Fontana and cross the Royal City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although there is a problem of distance, it is easy to get there because there is a road leading to the capital.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the road, not only the road, but even the passage through the southern lands has been rejected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The road was denied by the Northern Nobility Federation, its anti-Memento coalition, and the Reinisatz family.

　Here is what they have to say.

　The Fontana, who have seized several noble lands this year without cause, cannot be allowed to come south as a small but well-armed group.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, if we write it down in words, there may be some nods to this argument.

　After all, there is no way to predict the consequences that would befall other noble families if a small number of elite troops were to be unleashed like arrows from the Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But we have explained the situation.

　Nadja of the Mercenaries of Marshell in the south had activated the Light of Judgment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that Nadja is heading for the Holy City.

　If the Holy City is attacked and destroyed, the King of Immortals will be resurrected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the other noble families did not have the means to corroborate this explanation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Kingdom of Fontana has established a means of quickly obtaining information on remote areas through the use of telepathy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, ordinary nobles still have no way to know about distant lands except by exchanging information through personal accounts and letters.

　Therefore, they were so carefree that they might spend the winter just checking if our explanations were correct or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the very least, they would not allow their troops to pass through their territory, which they had once opposed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they really wanted to go to the Holy City, they would have to take another route.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To my horror, even the Reinsatz family took this attitude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So the only way I could get permission to go to the Holy City was by the eastern route through Memento territory.

　Are you an idiot?

　Are you an idiot?

　I understand your concern for your own safety, but the situation is urgent.

　This is not the time to be talking about such things when the King of the Immortals may be resurrected.

　Luke of the House of Boutica, for example, said that it was his family's long-held dream to defeat the King of the Immortals, but it seems that other nobles have forgotten their original role.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The nobles were originally there to deal with the Immortals, but they are only looking out for their own self-interests.

"No eastward turns, Rion. No matter how fast the Valkyries are, it's too far. It would take too long."

"Yes. But then we'd have to force our way through a number of noble territories that don't give permission for passage. It's not impossible, but it would be dangerous and time-consuming. We don't know what kind of interference we will face, or if we will be attacked while we are resting.

"In that case, shall I go with you, Ars?"

"What do you mean, ......, together, Archbishop Paul is going with me to the Holy City?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that's right. Yes, that's right. I, the archbishop, am going to the Holy City. And you will be my companion. That way, at least, there will be less chance of it being seen as a military advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. The companion of Archbishop Paul. In other words, some of the Church officials. If we do not allow it to pass, then the nobleman has obstructed the movement of the Archbishop of the Church?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Normally, as a church, we should remain neutral from you. But this situation is an important one for the Church. If that is the case, I have no choice but to make a move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you sure, Archbishop Paul?　It's dangerous to go to the Holy City, you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. I know, but so do you, Ars?　If you are willing to risk your life to fight Naja, then I will have to risk mine as well. But I can't fight much more than to help you move."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, that's good enough. Then come with me to the Holy City. Thank you, Archbishop Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it's nice to meet you too, Ars."

　The route problem to the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was Archbishop Paul who provided the solution.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The archbishop is a very high position in the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Such an archbishop is on his way to the Holy City, the center of the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be difficult for any nobleman to prevent him from moving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And he is accompanied by such an archbishop as an attendant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this case, Archbishop Paul is the master and I am the servant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then, the other nobles decided that I would not be able to act arbitrarily during the journey, so as not to ruin the face of the Church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since Archbishop Paul agreed that I would not cause any trouble during the journey to the Holy City, and that the Church would be responsible if I did, permission was finally granted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, after wasting some time, I started to move toward the Holy City with Archbishop Paul.
