NOVEL NEXT Chapter 52.2
“Brother, haven’t you seen Isaac?”
“Why are you looking for him here? Didn’t you say he’s in Eshua?”
Lilai touched his face.
Oh, no!
‘Did he come here?!’
“But have you not seen Shuri?”
“Shuri??”
“In this order, he should be in front. Where could he have gone?”
Meanwhile, the Blue Duke sitting down sensed a strange atmosphere among the students.
“The atmosphere feels strange.”
Then, the Red Duke sitting next to him laughed.
“Well, this year there’s an unbelievably young recipient of the priesthood, wouldn’t that be the reason?”
“Oh, Shuri?”
“Pfft.”
As the Red Duke laughed, the Blue Duke glared at him as if he were a disgusting piece of trash.
“Why are you laughing like that?”
“No, please see for yourself.”
?”
At that moment, the atmosphere in the banquet hall changed.
“The Pope is entering.”
“!”
With those words, the door opened, and a man dressed in pure white from head to toe came in. At first glance, he seemed to be of a similar age to the head of the Blue Duke.
And the Pope’s grandson, Kina Berit, followed closely behind. After that, numerous priests lined up and came in.
It was literally a march to the throne.
As another head of the Holy Empire entered, everyone stood up, and the Cardinals also stood up and bowed their heads deeply.
“The blessings of the glorious God are with Hella.”
With those words, the guests took their seats.
“We will begin the ordination ceremony. Those who are called, come forward.”
With the guide’s words, the students moved.
The Blue Duke, as if finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, raised a glass of water and swallowed it.
“Isaac Eshua.”
The head of the Blue family frowned, swallowing water at the familiar name.
No, with the Pope here, why would the procedure be like this? Shouldn’t they exclude the name of someone who didn’t attend?
‘Damn it, let’s finish this quickly and go back.’
They need to hurry and go home to find that kid before he causes trouble…
“Isaac Eshua, are you not here?”
What? Seriously?
The Blue Duke gestured as if to quickly pass over the matter.
But the students’ expressions were different. Faces that confirmed he had already arrived here.
“I saw Shuri go to the restroom with the baby.”
“Oh, so is he hiding there now?”
At that moment, the door opened slightly, and Shuri quietly entered the banquet hall.
Seeing the baby’s clothes in Shuri’s arms, the kids who saw him chuckled.
“I guess he ended up wearing those baggy priest clothes.”
The Blue Duke’s people looked at him with doubtful eyes, as if they couldn’t understand.
‘…Baby clothes?’
What?
Why is he carrying that?
Only then did the Eshua family realize something and quickly stood up.
‘No way!’
On the other hand, Shuri’s classmates laughed at Shuri beside them.
“Where did you leave your little brother?”
“…Shut up.”
You didn’t leave him?
Damn, even if he wanted to leave him now, he couldn’t! Crazy, really.
Shuri looked towards the door.
“Isaac Eshua.”
“Yes.”
The Blue Duke, who was wondering if he really answered, almost spat out the water he was drinking.
Wait, did he really answer?
Is he really here?!
The door soon opened, revealing platinum hair, and the guests, as well as the students, looked on expectantly. Especially the students who were fully prepared to tease.
Creak-
Yes. That’s right.
Opening the door and walking in…
‘Huh?’
…Why not toddling?
Wait a moment.
“Isaac Eshua, I’m here.”
Who is that?!
The students opened their mouths in shock at the sudden appearance of the boy.
A white and gray, neatly tailored, independent priest robe that seemed to fit his body perfectly.
The boy who appeared looked about 12 years old. Just an hour ago, he was a baby to the point where it was unimaginable.
However, his distinctive features and hair color, which were noticeable even when he was a baby, hadn’t changed at all.
Rather, he looked the same, as if time had been turned back ten or so years… What?!
“Who is that?! Could that baby have grown so much?”
“Isaac?!”
The most praised ancestor’s hair color in history.
The unmatched platinum-blond hair fluttered lightly, and although still young, his arms and legs, which had grown steadily, seemed to make one look forward to the future a few years from now.
Just because he appeared and walked confidently, the banquet hall was buzzing in a different way.
Goel was astonished, and Lilai, who suddenly stood up, had widened eyes.
The head of the Blue, still holding the glass of water, seemed not to notice that water was spilling from it.
Even the people from the Papal family were looking at Isaac with doubtful eyes.
‘It can’t be. Why does he look like that?’
Certainly, until today, he had the ominous appearance of a baby, right? Even Cardinal Berit and Kina Berit were unusually confused as they looked at him.
The guests were also agitated.
“Didn’t Eshua’s youngest receive a curse from the Skeleton King, so he couldn’t grow? So, for 10 years, he hid his appearance…”
“What, but he’s growing up properly?”
Naiser Sephet, who had intended to ridicule Isaac, and the students were now in confusion, as if they were in a mental breakdown.
‘What! What happened?!’
‘How did the cursed guy…!’
And when everyone was in turmoil, the Pope’s gaze turned to Isaac.
Isaac grinned at the Pope.
