I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

216 – Part 2 Episode 44, A new threat coming.

This is a conference room with a round table.

Judging by the chairs on which high-ranking priests sat behind it, it was the largest conference room in the church headquarters where a cardinals’ meeting was in progress.

The cardinals’ meeting was basically supposed to be held once a month, but this month was the fourth time it was being held, so the participants looked quite tired.

The cardinals’ meeting, which is said to be difficult even just once, was held four times.

It was natural that sitting in the same place and not being able to doze off for 10 hours was taking a toll on me mentally.

Is that all?

Rather than just sitting still for 10 hours, you have to participate properly as a member.

This means that the cardinals’ meeting lasts a long time and there is a lot to pay attention to.

“Hey, did you hear the details of the meeting?”

The senior priest who had been dozing off in the back just now asked his comrade next to him.

My classmate must have been sleeping as well, wiping the slightly dried and sticky saliva around his mouth, looking around, and shaking his head.

“You’re in big trouble…”

A high-ranking priest pulling out his head, saying he was in big trouble for not being able to hear the meeting.

The people next to me said, ‘If you’re going to do that, you should listen carefully.’ I wanted to say that, but I just clicked my tongue and shook my head.

No matter how many times I tell you, it makes me sleepy, so what’s the point in saying it again?

They have already done enough.

“Is there anything that could be said to be a big deal?”

Rather, the motive who snored and fell asleep together was extremely calm.

If something like that was going to be such a big deal, they would have already had to deal with it four times this week alone, they said, chuckling.

Of course, I laughed very quietly, as if I had any conscience about falling asleep while listening to the meeting.

“What are you really going to do if you don’t get this extension?”

“What can I do? I just need to go down to intermediate priest and work again.”

“Ha… This is why smart people…”

The man clicked his tongue when he saw that his classmate had no regrets about being a high-ranking priest.

In fact, when he fell asleep during the meeting, he also seemed to have no regrets, so everyone around him was shaking their heads.

Senior priest is the highest position at the church headquarters.

It is a difficult position to rise to, but it is also difficult to maintain it.

In terms of the Republic of Korea on Earth, it is convenient to think of it as a matter of whether or not chess can be played.

Considering that there is only one high priest and it is almost impossible to rise to cardinal, it is very difficult to extend the rank since it is in fact the final rank of priests.

Of course, if you attend work or meetings properly, most high-ranking priests wear tools…

Most people who sleep like them or miss meetings once in a while have no choice but to retire.

“Then, we will conclude the agenda regarding supply and demand of Mithril and Styx here.”

“Whoa… it’s finally over…”

The young cardinal said that it was finally over and tried to get up.

However, the one who stopped it was the cardinal, the Pope’s eldest daughter, who had just announced that she would finalize the agenda.

“There’s still one thing left to do.”

“Ugh… there’s still some left?”

“Please sit down. The one remaining item on the agenda is the most important.”

There is an agenda more important than the one that has been hanging around for four days and has barely been resolved…

Despair was written on the faces of the cardinals and the senior priests in the back who heard that one word.

“Oh, the next agenda is important, but it won’t take long, so you don’t have to despair.”

She also knows how hard it is for the cardinals and priests.

However, she knows very well that if she puts off work because it is difficult, it will become a disaster that she cannot handle later.

The council of cardinals before he became a cardinal was always like that.

As a high priest, she didn’t have much of a say, so she couldn’t do anything, so she always sighed, so now that she’s a cardinal, she’s trying hard to do it.

“Now… the next item on the agenda is about neutral territory.”

“Neutral area… Come to think of it, ‘donations’ have been coming in continuously lately, right?”

Donations are a major concern for cardinals.

Since there are no people here who could be accused of embezzling donations, everyone is interested in how to use the donations to develop large tracts of land in neutral territory.

A large oasis discovered by the warrior Elvin.

In proportion to that, the land mass in the neutral area that the Church of Christ had acquired was very attractive.

If the neutral area can be managed properly, the profits of the religious government will far exceed the existing profits.

It has been calculated that even if taxes, donations, tithes, profits from livestock companies, etc. collected from the denominational government are added together, it will amount to less than 10% of the profits generated in neutral territories.

“If the profits are that much, there may be no need to collect taxes within the Church of Christ.”

“And wouldn’t it be possible to invest in the denominational bureaucracy to grow the infrastructure as a whole?”

“I’m looking forward to it…”

Everyone there came together as one and smiled happily as they thought about the future that was about to come.

I don’t know when it will happen, but it was natural that everyone would smile when thinking about that future.

“lol…”

And even the saintess who smiles without a trace.

Everyone there smiled once again, looking at the saint.

***

Has the Church of Christ had a lot of money recently?

I continue to deposit money through my sister Stella.

And Stella is putting all that money into my account…

When I stopped by the church bank today, my mouth widened when I saw the amount deposited.

“This is too much…”

It’s a bit scary for me to hold onto.

So, I entrusted everything to Stella, but she told me that she probably shouldn’t keep it, so she deposited it to me.

With this much money, how many years can you live without working?

My annual salary is usually around 3 gold coins…

“Hehe… Is it okay for 10,000 years?”

Compared to the money I have, my values ​​are so common that I don’t know if it’s the right calculation.

I roughly withdrew only 5 gold coins and left everything else as is.

What did you use the 5 gold coins for?

That’s right…

“If you have money, you should spend it… right?”

“I think so too, Your Majesty.”

“Oh, Cain, who agrees with my ideology, I will do my best to ensure that you can eat unlimited amounts of chicken breast.”

“thank you!”

These days, my habit of speaking keeps coming back.

Still, if I don’t play around at times like this, when will I try?

By the way, if you have this much money… I think you can try it out slowly.

Recently, while expanding the stables and moving cattle around, an empty space was created.

I am intentionally leaving that space alone.

For what?

For my hobby, of course.

When you think of hobbies, you might think of watches, but this time it’s not watches.

I just wanted to decorate a villa with my own money.

I came up with this idea while wondering if there was a way to have fun at home since I can’t go outside.

There is also a swimming pool in front…

Sounds like fun, right?

“Ha… But isn’t it something we can make right now?”

The knights are in a sharp state because they recently discovered another Chaos minion.

In this situation, it’s not like I can build a swimming pool at home just to have fun.

Since the priest is a religious person, he is very strict in that regard…

If I had known this would happen, I would have built a swimming pool when I quit the new building.

“I think Luna will like the swimming pool when she grows up, right?”

Of course, you cannot put them in a regular swimming pool until they are fully grown.

I’m thinking of building a small swimming pool for Luna and the spirits to play in.

Actually, it’s not dangerous because you can breathe even if you go into the water as long as the ferry is next to you.

Still, if other people see it, won’t they think that’s some kind of crazy thing?

That kind of thing should not be blocked at the source and create controversy itself.

“Oh, but there’s no need to build a swimming pool.”

I saw a large piece of grass for sale on a shopping street and thought I wanted to make it.

Shouldn’t we just buy it, enjoy it, and put it in storage?

When my daughter grows up, we can make her a small swimming pool.

It’s strange, but there’s no need to spend money.

“No… what fun would there be in living in a world like this without romance?”

I have to live my life trying everything I want to do.

There is nothing more unfair than having money but doing nothing and then getting old.

In my past life, I wasn’t bored because I traveled around the world.

But now, I have to live imprisoned at the headquarters of the Church of Christ, and if I can’t do anything, what’s the fun of living?

Cancer… I can’t live like that.

Just start when you feel reasonably stable.

“Then, let’s go buy Cain’s favorite chicken breast…”

“Yes! I like chicken breast!”

Seeing Cain happy, he smiled and walked ahead.

I didn’t know until then.

I never thought I would build my own swimming pool…

And I never thought that was the reason why I made it myself.

Not only that, I didn’t know about the new threat facing the Church of Christ until then.
