Helmut roared as soon as he saw Ivy upon entering the hall.

“You bitch!”

Helmut jumped toward Ivy who had collapsed onto the floor even before anyone could stop him. Then, he immediately grabbed Ivy’s thin neck. Being as powerful as the Templars, he could instantly break her neck.

However, at that moment, someone strongly pushed Helmut away from Ivy.

Helmut helplessly rolled around on the floor due to the enormous force that had pushed him. He looked forward with shocked eyes.

“Oh… it was you, Your Holiness. I inadvertently used too much power without even realizing it. Please forgive me.”

Only then did Helmut notice Dismas lying face down on the floor, protecting Ivy. Despite being terribly injured due to the burns all over his body, Dismas was much stronger than Helmut. Helmut could only grit his teeth, since he did not intend to fight against Dismas.

Meanwhile, Dismas continued to apologize.

“Please forgive me, Your Holiness. I don’t know what to say other than that I’m sorry... But I would like to ask you to not touch the Saintess so recklessly.”

“Why are you protecting that bitch? That bitch is the fake emperor’s confidant! She’s nothing but a bitch making false prophecies, all in order to trick everyone!” Helmut shouted.

“Why would you say that, Your Holiness? Didn’t you also say that the Saintess’ prophecy was correct? It was you who said that the Saintess is sent to us by His Majesty, all in order to deliver his words to us.”

Helmut...
