I’ll Quit as The Empress

It wasn’t the clouds that covered the sky but the huge wings of something. There was a piercing roar all over the place before Evelyn could scream.

“Is that… Wyvern?”

“This is Felice Kingdom, why there’s a demon?!”

“Is the Wyvern so huge like this?”

The crowd gathered in the plaza turned into chaos.

The Wyverns broke the wind, threatened with their huge wings, and flew over the people’s heads. Their voice was too terrifying to hear and seemed to tear down Evelyn’s ears.

“Oh, God…!”

The Wyverns shaded the sky and captured a man with their sharp claws in the plaza. That man had not been able to shout for a long time, and he immediately turned into a piece of flesh, splashing blood into the air.

Right away, the square had fallen with consternation and terror.

“Adrian, Adrian!”

Evelyn fled through the crowd, frozen in fear. But unfortunately, the Wyverns flapped their huge wings to the podium. And in less than a second, they came right in front of her eyes.

Groarrrrr!!!!

The roar almost knocked her out, and their approaching claws were terrifying. Evelyn was sure their claws targeted at Adrian for no reason. It was a mother’s instinct.

“No, save Adrian!”

Evelyn ran out with all her might, but that dreadful Demon’s claw was faster.

“Adrian!!!!!”

Evelyn flopped into Adrian’s basket. Behind her, she felt a strong smell of death when the Wyverns screamed and ripped her ears again.

Arrghhhh!

“Her majesty, Princess! Look out!”

As soon as Evelyn thought it was the end of her life, Liam climbed onto the podium and wrapped her back. The King and the queen were dazed, unable to move because of Evelyn and Adrian.

“It’s dangerous, come on, ·····”

The same was true for Evelyn, her body hardened by fear, and she couldn’t move.

“Evil monster! Disappear in front of the light of God!”

At that moment, the Pope suddenly appeared and raised a white Sceptre.

“I command in the name of God, the Evil Birds, stop!”

Something magical happened in the next second. The Wyverns stopped screaming at the Pope’s command. Soon, the Vatican Knights, led by an armoured paladin, arrived and surrounded the Wyverns.

Strange enough, the Wyverns did not move, as if they were trapped by the Pope’s voice.

“Destroy the demons in the name of the Holy See.”

The Wyverns were shouting as the Paladin threw a long, thick spear that could not be aimed at a human being. The Vatican Knights then ambushed the Wyverns with weapons they had never seen before.

The Wyverns collapsed in the front of the podium. A disgusting smell of blood swept across the plaza. Evelyn, King Arthur and Miriam hugged Adrian and couldn’t see the scene clearly.

“Everyone rest assured.”

However, the people who gathered in the square called it a miracle.

“The evil demons was killed by the Vatican.”

The Wyverns had let out a breath that had almost been cut off. Their toenails were still stained in human blood, but they were no longer dangerous.

In a state of confusion, the crowd in the plaza slowly shouted at the Pope and the Vatican’s Knights.

“It’s a God’s miracle!”

“Yes, God sent the Pope to save us!”

There was something peculiar about it. However, Evelyn could only shed tears and had no time to observe anything else because she was carrying Adrian. Luckily, Liam went forward and took all the members of the royal family to a safe place.

To her surprise, Adrian didn’t cry and was safe. On the contrary, Evelyn and King Arthur felt like their life spans had shortened.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes…. Adrian is safe.”

Arthur shook his head. He looked directly at Miriam and saw Evelyn again.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes…. Yes, father.” Evelyn’s face was a mess with tears.

“We were by Adrian’s side, and I’m sorry.”

“No …… my body moved on its own without knowing it. I was so shocked….. everyone felt the same way.”

Evelyn was still taken aback. The disgusting smell of Wyvern’s blood and their screams were still lingering.

“How did the demons appear in this kingdom?”

The King sighed. Luckily, there was no big sacrifice, but there was a man who lost his life because of the Wyverns.

“If the Pope hadn’t been there, we’d all have died.”

Evelyn strongly disagreed with her dad’s statement. Somehow, she couldn’t get rid of her discomfort. If she thought about that incident, there was only one person at that time who wasn’t surprised. It was the Pope himself.

‘No way, did he know everything about it from the beginning?’

Evelyn threw out a false idea. Right now, it was a blessing that her family was safe.

“Yes. Is the royal family safe?”

“Oh, His Holiness!”

The white robe that the Pope wore wasn’t dirty at all. And without knowing it, Evelyn frowned when she smelled Wyvern’s blood from his robe.

“We’re safe with the blessing of His Holiness. It was very, very terrible.”

“This is also God’s protection for the Felice Kingdom.”

“Why did the demons come all the way to the Holy Land?”

At the King’s sigh, the Pope quietly drew the cross.

“Don’t worry about it. Our Vatican will punish the demons”.

Like a shot, The Pope’s eyes turned to Evelyn and Adrian in her arms.

“It could have been a big trouble for the little prince. What a relief.”

“Yes······.”

Evelyn blurted her answer and quickly walked out of the Pope’s sight. There was a fishy thing about the Pope.

‘How did he know?’

It just happened in an instant. When the Wyverns were about to attack Adrian, Evelyn knew because she saw him right in front of her eyes.

Only

But how could the Pope know what had happened to Adrian at that moment from behind his back?

‘Don’t tell me, they know about my child….’

But Evelyn’s terrifying speculation could not continue. Because more people immediately came.

“Stop! it’s the Imperial Army!”

It was noisy outside.

“I say it again! Take your hands off the Demon. This is Imperial Army, directly commanded by the Emperor!” he said.

Wyvern wasn’t the only one that she couldn’t think of.
