NOVEL NEXT Chapter 64.1
Wow, truly admirable.
‘Even if I tried to make that expression on purpose, I wouldn’t be able to.’
Shuri looked at Isaac, who seemed to have ascended with a triumphant smile.
So…
What the hell, what the hell!
…He is making an expression like this.
‘I was wondering why that bastard suddenly asked to know Naiser Sephet’s personality.’
Was all this to understand his actions and give him a hard time?
‘Moreover, making Cardinal Berit personally appear…’
Maybe he deliberately provoked him to come in person.
No, not maybe, but definitely. Secretly calling someone means there is something for the person involved. He must have wanted to trouble the Gold Cardinal for sure.
Looking at Isaac, who didn’t bother hiding his expression, Shuri sighed and looked up at the sky.
‘…Let’s not tell the family about this story.’
Everyone would faint without lying.
No, he might faint.
Grandfather, indeed, it might be right to excommunicate that bastard even now.
‘Well, if he’s been tormented to this extent, Isaac will probably behave for a while. It’s still manageable with surveillance…’
“Now follow me to my room.”
At Cardinal Berit’s words, Isaac grinned.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Since the Red Cardinal called, I should go there now. If you want to take me, bring better conditions.”
The expression on the Gold Cardinal’s face was worth seeing.
Shuri bit his lips tightly.
“Did you just mention conditions?”
Cardinal Berit’s voice now felt like magma, not just cold.
“Well, what can we do? We just formed a truce. If you want me to meet Your Excellency, you better bring good conditions.”
Even the agreement was ‘just formed.’
This is crazy, really.
‘He dares to fight the Cardinal during the apprenticeship!’
Grandfather, please save me!
Shuri, who was rubbing his forehead, sneakily glanced at Cardinal Berit.
Sure enough, Cardinal Berit, who had been fooled by Isaac for seven days and even gave him the elixir, looked stunned.
“The Red Cardinal called? Just now?”
“Yes!”
Naiser Sephet seemed bewildered by Isaac’s lively answer.
‘No, it’s true that my father told me to invite this guy…’
He tried his best to get Isaac to meet his father somehow, causing a commotion.
But…
‘How does he know that? I haven’t invited him yet?’
Have I?
‘It’s not like my father directly invited him?’
It was likely that Isaac, like when he criticized the Gold Cardinal’s actions, considered interference by the Cardinal in charge of apprentices as off-limits.
Since Naiser Sephet was an apprentice, he could meet ‘father’ under the pretext of a friend’s invitation.
Anyway, Shuri wondered who told him about the invitation story, but it wasn’t a bad thing.
‘If things continue like this, it wouldn’t be a surprise for Isaac’s evaluation score to be ruined because of Cardinal Berit.’
Considering the team evaluation, the apprentice evaluation was a team evaluation. If Cardinal Berit increased the workload, the team members would also suffer.
‘Even now, he’s gaining attention because of that Skeleton King. Is he going to lose to him?’
An uneasy Naiser Sephet immediately pretended to be friends with Isaac.
“Y-Yes! I decided to invite Isaac!”
If I bring Isaac to my father, maybe he’ll forgive me for defeating Cardinal Berit’s subordinates this time!
“So, this kid… Isaac, I’ll take you.”
“Hmm.”
However, in the face of Cardinal Berit’s grim expression, Naiser Sephet broke into a cold sweat.
‘…Did I go too far?’
It was not for nothing that he was the number one Cardinal that priests most hated to encounter.
Shuri already knew the personality of his father’s cousin.
Filthy, exclusive, extreme perfectionist, arrogant, and seeking revenge tenfold for every slight… What the hell, this Isaac, damn it!
Anyway, it was clear it wouldn’t end well with good words…
“Yeah. Well, I guess I can’t help it. Go.”
…He’s letting him go with good words?
“Well, if there was a truce, I can’t help it.”
“???”
He even acknowledges this as a truce?!
Shuri was perplexed.
‘Is father’s cousin the kind of person who would do that?’
Maybe it’s because he doesn’t want to lose Isaac and… No, it’s because he’s someone who hates Isaac more than anyone else.
‘Is there a hidden motive?’
Or is he a highly political figure who doesn’t want to create unnecessary trouble with the Red family?
Oh, what is it? He really doesn’t know!
Rather, he felt uneasy because he’s considerate of Isaac?
“But causing damage to Gold by the Red family can’t just be overlooked. Starting tomorrow, we’ll increase the workload.”
“!!”
After Cardinal Berit disappeared like that, Naiser Sephet was confused, but soon looked at Isaac with joy.
“Well, if it’s this much, I’ve survived! Hey, kid. I’ll forgive you for taking my subordinate. Let’s go see my father right away. If I take you, you won’t be tormented by Gold tomorrow…”
However, the face of Naiser Sephet, who looked next to him, stiffened.
Little Isaac, who should have been there, had disappeared.
Naiser Sephet’s eyes rolled.
“Where did this bastard go?!”
Then, the apprentice priests nearby broke into a cold sweat.
“Uh… If it’s Isaac, he said he was bored and went to sleep.”
“It’s said that children need to sleep to grow taller…”
“What?! It’s still 8 p.m.!”
No!
Naiser Sephet rushed into the dormitory in confusion. In the spacious dormitory, Isaac was sleeping alone, occupying the entire bed.
Naiser Sephet urgently woke him up.
“Hey! Wake up! No, please wake up! If you don’t go, you won’t get my father’s help! Please!”
But Isaac didn’t even pretend to hear.
