50 – God whispers, get some exercise

Before Priscilla came, Kyle had a brief chat with Cardinal Paul.

The main content is, of course, about academy life.

Speaking of sports, Cardinal Paul is also far from sports.

On the contrary, when talking about doctrine, Kyle’s side is too shallow.

That’s why the academy, where Kyle, the saintess, and the cardinal can laugh lightly, has no choice but to be the theme.

“Brother Kyle. Come to think of it, there is one thing I want to ask you.”

“Yes, Your Excellency Cardinal. What are you?”

“I heard that there is a daughter of the Grand Duchess of Littorio among the new students.”

“Ah… If you are referring to Elgar-sama, Your Excellency is right.”

“Looking at what you’re talking about, it seems like we’re somewhat close.”

From Cardinal Paul’s words, Kyle noticed why the story of Elgar had suddenly appeared.

An uncomfortable incident between Baron John Nassen and Archduchess Littorio.

One side was insulted and the other was injured. That still gets talked about.

Of course, there is no choice but to have bad feelings for each other.

In the meantime, it means that it’s okay since the children and daughters of each family met as freshmen.

“His Eminence Cardinal! In fact, Brother Kyle personally delivered an apology for that incident!”

“A letter of apology? Kyle’s brother. Is that true?”

Kyle nodded, and Cardinal Paul said, Huh? And tilts her head.

I heard that the imperial family directly stepped forward and said that Baron John Nassen was in such a situation.

I heard that John Nassen’s daughter ended with the academy’s expulsion for that reason, and Littorio was silent!

“Anyway, no one was hurt. Originally, emotional troughs tend to deepen over time, so I thought it would be better to end it now.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Also, Elga’s princess was also a very nice person, so she acted as a stepping stone.”

The truth is that her Elgar stepped out to raise the value of her name, but she had nothing to do with it.

She was able to deliver her apology more quickly than she did if she came forward anyway.

‘To say that, that Elgar, a princess from the Grand Duchess of Littorio, is a decent person.’

From what I’ve heard, the family of Grand Duchess Littorio is quite confused with the succession plan.

At a time like this, it would be good for the church if it came into contact with a person who could be the successor.

It would be nice to have a meeting with Elgar’s princess sometime, the cardinal thought.

“Yeah.”

At the knight’s call, Cardinal Paul turned his head.

There, Priscilla, who had just arrived, suddenly looked at her wondering what was going on.

“Have a seat, Captain.”

After that, the story that Kyle and the cardinal had shared so far was conveyed to Priscilla.

“… So, ask me to take charge of the health promotion activities of the priests… Is this?”

Priscilla tilted her head and put on an expression of disapproval.

It’s also a problem that she asks herself who leads the Holy Knights for a favor.

In addition to that, the content of the current request was also very strange.

“Yes. Captain.”

“… Why is it me, Brother Kyle?”

The Knights of St. Elfleda are not only responsible for protecting the headquarters of the Order.

If there is an event on the part of the church and people are sent out, an escort should be organized.

The rotation must also be returned so that there is no dissatisfaction among the personnel who were active in the branch.

In addition, you must always manage them in order to maintain the prowess within the Knights.

Besides that, there are so many other jobs.

It’s not that Jon Nassen’s Leah didn’t challenge her to a duel even though she was right around the corner.

There are so many things to take over, it was just because there was so much to do.

“For now, the saintess stays in the academy chapel and only comes to the church headquarters on weekends.”

“Yes.”

“But it is not right for the Holy Father or His Holiness the Cardinals to step forward directly.”

“… I agree.”

“Definitely, the drivers are well aware of physical training to improve health.”

“Okay. Most of the knights only teach things focused on combat….”

“Don’t worry about that. I will teach the captain the basics.”

In my mind, Kyle himself wants to do it himself.

It’s to the point where an expert has to step in and see it step by step, step by step, from the beginning.

You could seriously get hurt if you didn’t lie and did something wrong.

But she herself is an academy student.

From Monday to Friday, she has to go to the classroom and listen to lectures.

They say they don’t care much about grades, but a minimum score is necessary.

It’s obvious, but friends with extremely poor grades are out right away.

“I’m embarrassed. I have a lot of work to do….”

Priscilla looked at the cardinal and the saintess, but said something.

She said that she had quite a lot of work that was focused on herself, so she didn’t have time.

At this point, it’s time for her to cast the bait.

A lure that has no choice but to accept this proposal even if it takes her own time!

“Captain Priscilla. I will grant you the request you told me earlier.”

“… Is that true?”

“Yes. And then, I will do the second request.”

At Kyle’s words, Priscilla’s eyes widened.

“Seriously, are you willing to do both of those requests?”

“That’s right. I will stake my honor.”

“Ah… thank you Thank you, Brother Kyle!”

Where did all the troubles and conflicts from earlier go?

It was Priscilli who grabbed Kyle’s hand with a bright face.

Thanks to this, the cardinal and the saint said, ‘Please? What kind of request?’

‘You mean a favor? What did you exchange with the knight commander… No way! Is it training for knights?!’

This is Cardinal Paul’s idea to further develop the church.

‘Uh… Why do the two of them suddenly look so close… ?’

This was the thought of a saintess who stabbed a corner of her chest.

“I will.”

In the meantime, Priscilla nodded her head right away without giving it any further thought.

The reward Kyle offered was too sweet to refuse.

“Your Majesty the Cardinal.”

Kyle next summoned Cardinal Paul.

In fact, the most important person in this plan is the cardinal.

There is a saying that well begun is half done, and the person who can give you the beginning is the cardinal.

“This is for the priests. It is to serve God’s will more faithfully. Can you help me?”

How many cardinals would say that it will be difficult when it has come this far?

I’m even thinking it would be great if I could convert Kyle to the Order!

“If it doesn’t go against God’s will, I’ll do it. Brother Kyle.”

Since the superior gave permission, the disposition of the people below was also decided.

As of the current time, a health promotion project for priests of the church has begun.

*

The time for evening prayer has come.

The priests who stayed at the church headquarters gathered one by one to give thanks that the day was peaceful.

It is also a place to pray to God that everyone will be peaceful tomorrow as well as today.

“Brothers and sisters.”

In front of those priests, Cardinal Paul suddenly appeared.

“Your Majesty the Cardinal.”

As the priests bow lightly, the cardinal also bows his head.

And then, standing in front of the priests, he slowly parted his lips.

“While praying today, I gained a small realization. So, I would like to tell you, brothers and sisters here, a little about that small realization.”

At the words of Cardinal Paul, the priests quietly put their hands together.

This is the word of a cardinal who is not well known.

If you engrave it on your heart, it will surely become another ray of light.

“The world right now is very peaceful and quiet. However, it is a world where typhoons blow and blizzards blow. You won’t be able to pray to God in the sunlight forever. But we foolishly spent too much time in the sun.”

“I’m ashamed, Yeha.”

“Nothing to be ashamed of. It’s just unavoidable. It’s always a good day, so I couldn’t do anything. But why not practice enduring harsh winds and waves under that sunlight? With such a small realization, I stand before you today like this.”

After that, the cardinal delivered the words he had prepared in advance.

No matter how difficult the situation, we must do our duty.

On behalf of the people of the world, we must pray even in front of the harsh winds and waves.

These are words that fit the doctrine of the church.

Don’t be arrogant, don’t be overconfident, just stay humble.

You must sacrifice yourself to make atonement for sinners.

So it was only natural that almost all the priests would listen to the cardinal.

“We must endure temptation as spirit and suffering as body. Make your heart strong by yourself. However, there is someone who can help a little with the body.”

With those words, Cardinal Paul steps back slightly.

The next person to stand was Priscilla, the commander of the Knights of St. Elfleda.

“Brothers and sisters.”

“Meet the captain.”

After brief greetings, Priscilla spoke.

“As Your Excellency said, I will help you. Morning, morning, afternoon, and evening. We pray and try to look back on ourselves little by little. Aren’t you used to the sunlight too much? How was the shade, the wind, and other things.”

The Knights of Saint Elfleda are one of the three swords that protect the Order.

Of course, the relationship between the knights and priests belonging to them was bound to be very close.

That’s why the priests nodded their heads to Priscilla’s words without any doubt.

“I will tell you in advance. It can be tough. It can be painful. It’s not forcing. You can just say your prayers in the sunlight as you always do. Nobody says anything However, once you start, you cannot leave. I will see this as our asceticism to dedicate to God. I hope the brothers and sisters will understand.”

The path of asceticism dedicated to God, the priests cross the cross at the end.

It is the fate of church members to bear the sins of others and atone for them.

If you can manage to do even a little bit of it, it will be a good time of patience.

The priests standing in front of Priscilla nodded their heads at that thought.

*

After some time, a building in the church headquarters was vacated.

The inside began to be filled with tools that the priests had never seen before.

“My God….”

And the prayer posture of the priests, from the reverent posture of kneeling and sitting.

The whole body was changed to a trembling plank posture.
