My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Seeing the Holy Emperor arrive before the Church, everyone who witnessed it was left stunned.

Many wondered about his intentions. Had he come to offer consolation to the Holy Priestess? Their thoughts were clouded with uncertainty, unable to understand his true motives.

As Eren was about to enter the Holy Church, he saw a Bishop stepping out. Through the open door, he could notice that the interiors had already been repaired.

"What are you doing here?" the Bishop asked.

"I thought all the Bishops were killed by the Necromancer. It's good to see that there were survivors," Eren remarked, placing his hand on the Bishop's shoulder as he walked past him.

He did not bother to answer the Bishop's question, nor did he reveal his true thoughts.

Eren was certain that he had eliminated all the Bishops during his previous visit to this place. The appearance of another Bishop made it evident that the portal formations had been repaired, and reinforcements had been summoned from other branches.

He was surprised by the Priestess's fast actions. Despite such a heavy loss, she was more composed than he had anticipated.

"Wait, you are not allowed to enter! The Priestess is resting right now. Please come back tomorrow!" The Bishop reacted, despite his evident shock.

Once again, he blocked Eren's path, refusing to let him step inside.

"I'm certain she can find some time for me. You need not worry about it," Eren told the Bishop. Although his voice remained calm, the Bishop felt a strange fear rising within his heart, as if he were being glared at by a frightening dragon.

The Bishop tried to control his senses, but he was unable to. His body simply gave in, his legs growing weak, and he dropped to his knees. He was unable to comprehend the source of his overwhelming fear.

The Bishop was left behind on his knees while Eren stepped inside the Holy Church, disappearing from public sight.

Even the ordinary people who watched the Bishop's cowardly reaction were left surprised. The dignity of the Holy Church got destroyed even more while the Emperor was appearing like a superior entity.

....

Eren was carefree about the response to his actions. He simply walked through the same corridors a second time, surprised at how well it had been cleaned.

The hallways that were covered with the scent of blood by the time he left, were looking perfectly clean. Not even the faintest scent of blood could be felt.

It was as if the Holy Priestess had brought the Holy Church back in time before it was even attacked. However, if that had been the case, the Bishops would have returned to life.

Whatever she used, was far weaker than time reversal, which would have been an overwhelming ability.

The Cardinals had already received information about Eren's arrival. They quickly rushed to meet Eren, whose intentions were suspicious.

They weren't fools. They understood that the Holy Emperor had a hand in whatever happened here. However, they also couldn't kill him since he made sure that everyone saw him enter.

If the Holy Emperor didn't return alive, then it was just as troublesome. Even if he was to die, he couldn't die in the Holy Church.

They wanted to kill him but they couldn't, which made them quite frustrated. They intercepted Eren, unable to hide the hostility in their eyes.

"Is the Holy Emperor here to see the results of his betrayal?" One of the Cardinals asked, his words appearing like daggers that weren't held back.

"Betrayal? I'm not sure what you are talking about." Eren shrugged innocently. "I am just here to meet a dear friend, who seems to be going through a bad time."

Even though he didn't accept it outright, he didn't need to hide his intentions either. At this point, both sides already knew each other's intentions.

As he spoke of his innocence, his voice filled with sadness, he didn't hide the smirk that was forming on the corner of his lips.

It was as if he was intentionally poking the Cardinals, telling them, 'You know about it, but what can you do?'

"You!" The emotions of the Cardinals flared up. This person had caused the destruction of the Holy Church. He had a hand in the death of the Bishops, many of whom were about to become Cardinals themselves in the near future.

His actions had dealt a heavy blow to the Holy Church. Despite that, he still had the courage to come here and flex?

Before the Cardinals could further state anything, Eren continued, "I am so glad that all of you are safe. It's a relief that you weren't here when it happened. It would have been a pity if all of you were to die as well."

"You are playing with death!" The Cardinals couldn't take Eren's arrogance anymore.

The Cardinals were trying really hard to control their anger, but they were clearly struggling. At this point, they were just inches away from forgetting about anything else and killing Eren.

Eren was also enjoying annoying them. Normally, he would have been somewhat careful in front of the Cardinals, but the situation had changed a lot now.

He had even started using a recording crystal to record everything that was happening here, the reason his words weren't matching his facial expressions that weren't recorded through the crystal.

He opened his lips, trying to poke them one last time. He really wanted them to attack him so that he could have an excuse.

"I-"

"Let him pass."

Eren was about to speak, when a single sentence echoed through the hallway. It was the voice of the Holy Priestess, which had directly appeared in everyone's head.

The voice was accompanied by some unfamiliar magic which targeted a person's mind. However, Eren remained completely unaffected by it.

"See? You should listen to your master." Eren casually stated.

The Cardinals clinched their teeth, escorting Eren. Watching the passage that was taken by the Cardinals, Eren was quite surprised.

They were taking him towards the forbidden room which he had failed to enter last time.
