A Transmigrator’s Privilege-Chapter 201

"Yes."

"Finding your own flesh and blood, it’s truly a good thing for him."

Clovis sighed awkwardly, keeping any further words to himself.

It was well-known that the Holy Office treated Seong Heun Yang, an orphan, as public property.

Moreover, Tesilid, the owner of the Holy Sword, had often been the subject of envy and jealousy, caught up in political struggles between the Sword Ministry and the Gospel Ministry, and had been made a scapegoat on numerous occasions.

In such a situation, the Arzent family, who had placed Tesilid as their heir, could not escape responsibility for neglecting him.

It was possible that the Arzent family ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) would bear the brunt of the Holy Office’s sins, facing a great backlash on behalf of the entire family.

Of course, it was hard for me to feel too sorry for the Arzent family when my sympathy leaned too heavily toward Tesilid.

<He should’ve acted better when he had the chance.>

I wholeheartedly agreed with Agnes’s thought and turned to speak to Clovis.

"This is a good timing. Actually, there’s something I wanted to tell you regarding this matter."

"What is it, Your Grace?"

"What Tesilid received from the Arzent family as their heir is just the Holy Sword. So, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t make any claims about his rights now."

This was a warning.

The doctrine of the Church often treated children as mere appendages or possessions of their parents.

Now that Tesilid had proven his worth, the Arzent family might use the doctrine to control him as their heir.

I had no intention of swallowing such a bitter pill.

Fortunately, Clovis was someone I could speak to openly.

"I understand. If my father shows any signs of doing so, I’ll stop him. Don’t worry."

"Thank you."

After offering a polite thanks, I was about to part ways with him when he called out.

"Your Grace, just a moment."

"Do you have something to say?"

"Are you aware of the content I intend to report to the Cardinal Assembly?"

"......"

That was an unusual question. Only then did my mind begin to engage.

The main mission of the Crusader Order was exploration or search. So, if that’s the case...

"Did you find the Saint?"

"It’s not confirmed yet. I’m going to report that observation supervision is necessary."

"What is her name?"

"Muriel Filize."

I had guessed correctly.

The name matched the original saint’s. To avoid any accidental leaks, I did not show any reaction to Clovis.

<If she’s the saint, is that the one? The one Tesilid loved desperately, only to be backstabbed three times in a row... Hmm, I’ll stop talking. Relax your eyes.>

Following Agnes's advice, I wiped away the intensity in my gaze and thought deeply.

‘This is moving too quickly.’

[The "Revealer of Secrets Inspector" mocks you for destroying the original story recklessly without thinking.] I had anticipated that the inspector would emerge like an "original story fanatic," but the recent comment felt a bit unjust.

‘What do you mean by not thinking? I am proud that, as a possessor, I have embraced the noble mission of destruction.’ [The "Revealer of Secrets Inspector" slams their chest in frustration.]

[The "Word of Creation" is clapping, saying you’re doing a great job.]

[The "Soul-judging Scales" hurries to buy a genre change ticket, staring at you with wide eyes.]

I spoke nonchalantly.

"I didn’t expect you to tell me first."

"The gods favor one child."

"Suddenly speaking without context?"

"In history, there has never been a case where two saints coexisted in the same era. I’m a bit concerned... I thought I should give you a heads-up, Your Grace."

Clovis’s attitude seemed to be genuinely friendly. It felt like I had just given a warning in a threatening manner.

At that moment, Clovis, aware of the surroundings, bowed slightly.

"Then, please take care, Your Grace."

"I’ll see you later."

After finishing up at the Holy Office, I led the Silver Crescent knights directly to the Royal Castle.

When we arrived in the royal castle’s reception room, my grandfather, Tesilid, Hild, and one more person were waiting for me.

An intelligent noblewoman with neatly tied black hair. It was none other than my friend, Bianca Gillette.

She greeted the Silver Crescent knights and Tesilid.

"I formally greet the knights of the Silver Fortress. I am Bianca Gillette of the Gillette family. I will be assisting with the administration of the knights from now on."

"Ah, Lady Gillette! Our captain’s friend! We’ve heard a lot about you. We look forward to working with you."

"I have a question. Will we be getting our salaries from Lady Gillette from now on?"

"Can I call you ‘sister’?"

Iphail, Hestio, and Ash eagerly acted friendly.

At that moment, Bianca raised her hand, signaling for them to pause, and then looked toward Tesilid.

Her piercing gaze always made anyone nervous.

Tesilid met her gaze seriously.

Bianca spoke, now with a more polite greeting than before.

"I am also a servant of the kingdom. I will serve His Highness the Second Prince to the best of my abilities while working alongside you."

As expected, Tesilid let out a small sigh.

"You don’t need to. And..."

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"I find the title uncomfortable. I would appreciate it if you called me ‘Sir Tesilid.’"

Normally, this would have led to a long back-and-forth.

"Understood, Sir Tesilid."

Bianca readily accepted. This must have been influenced by the way she had grown up seeing my mother, who had left the family and rejected the family’s title.

There were likely other reasons as well. I turned to Tesilid and said:

"Don’t worry too much. Bianca isn’t the type to annoy anyone. I’m sure your sister asked Bianca to look after you."

"Princess Celeste...?"

"Yes, she’s had a strange fondness for you from the beginning. It’s because you remind her of a younger brother."

"......I see. I almost misunderstood."

Not almost—I knew he already had.

But as I looked at his slightly reddened ears, I decided to pretend I didn’t notice.

Next, I turned my attention to my grandfather.

"Grandfather."

"Yes, my dear."

"If the royal family sends someone to guard or attend to Tesilid in the Royal Castle..."

"Don’t worry! No unwanted guests will be allowed in my Royal Castle, so don’t fret."

"Thank you. I’ll leave it in your hands."

I nodded respectfully and then asked for everyone’s understanding.

"Then, may I leave first? I have some business to discuss with Bianca."

Since Bianca had arrived, it was time to begin the handover of the knights’ duties. I also wanted to discuss the new business I planned to start.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

When I gestured toward Bianca, my clever friend nodded, understanding right away.

[The "Eye Watching the Chaos of the World" eagerly anticipates you two spending a cozy night together.] We might stay up late. I had to organize the books and establish business plans.

At that moment, Bianca added a new item.

"I also brought something for you. It's the issue of the fortune you’ve accumulated under the Gillette family."

"Sounds exciting. Let’s go and do it!"

Just then, my grandfather called me, making me stop.

"Wait, my dear."

"Yes?"

"Did you know that your church is complete?"

"Ah, the church! Of course!"

I immediately nodded, thrilled.

I had been so excited when the notification for completing the 3rd Church Founder quest popped up.

Once the handover was done, I was going straight to the church to check it out.

‘I can’t wait to see my church! Fast! Fast!’

The system was also making me anxious.

[ ‘Mission of the Word Priest, Stage 3’ has been completed.]

[ You can receive the quest reward after moving to the designated area.]

The reward couldn’t be received here. I had to go to the church to get it! [The "Word of Creation" proudly says that they paid extra attention to this reward.]

[The "Bitter Cynic" condemns it, calling it a serious oversight.]

[The "Revealer of Secrets Inspector" asks if this isn’t the reward for the bug report from before, which was carefully crafted.]

[The "Word of Creation" reveals that the reason for the reward’s delay was because they had slipped it in without justification this time.]

Through the messages from the gods, I learned three important things.

First, based on the response of the Balance Overseer, the reward was extremely satisfying.

Second, the phenomenon I had reported a long time ago was confirmed not to be a bug.

‘I had reported that after inserting the lead, the Helkaion dungeon closed very quickly.’

And the last point was the most important.

The Word Overseer would find any excuse to bestow something good upon the believer!

‘This is the true love of the gods! Our Word Overseer is the best!’

[The "Word of Creation" looks at you with great pride.]

[The "Soul-judging Scales" rolls their eyes in frustration.]

At that moment, applause erupted from around me.

"Wow, fast! Congratulations, Holy Grace!"

"Congratulations on completing the church, my lady!"

"Really, congratulations, my child."

"Congratulations, Your Grace."

Everyone in the reception room, including the Silver Crescent knights, Bianca, and Hild, sincerely congratulated me.

<We congratulate you too, Ayleth. Now you’re a bishop. How cool.>

Oh, Agnes too.

Just as I was thinking of a modest party to show my gratitude, my grandfather smiled warmly and made an even bigger suggestion.

"Then, we should hold a church founding ceremony!"

"What? A founding ceremony?"

"Yes! Since we’ve established a pioneering church, shouldn’t we make a big event of it and have a founding ceremony?"

"Well, that..."

‘Is it really necessary?’ I was about to politely decline.

[The "Word of Creation" shines with frenzied anticipation.]

I clenched my fist.

"I’ve wanted to do this for so long!"

It’s a special privilege for the possessor.
