How the Cult Saves the World

Chapter 78

The nobles gathered in the banquet hall were speechless. Their eyes were all drawn to one person, Revelof Holden.

His golden hair shone brilliantly, and his blue eyes were dazzling. His slightly raised eyes and the tear mole under them made him more attractive.

His skin was also clear and flawless, and his face gave a delicate impression, but his body was well-built and his clothes fit him perfectly.

The black suit he wore had no fancy decorations, but had silver accents that matched his splendid face.

"My goodness, is that..."

"Wow. That's unbelievable."

The nobles couldn't help but admire him. They had heard that Revelof Holden had been suffering from an incurable disease, but his appearance now showed no trace of his past illness.

"He's so beautiful."

As the nobles' admiration continued, the Holden family, who were the center of attention, slowly entered the banquet hall.

Leira, who greeted the people leisurely, and Sevenus, who nodded to the nobles he knew.

Unlike the two, Revelof only looked straight ahead.

'...I'm so embarrassed.'

This was the first time he had done something noble-like since he came to this world, and Revelof didn't know where to look.

He just hoped that this time would pass quickly and forced a smile.

'I want to go home.'

Technically, this banquet hall was also inside the Holden mansion, so it was no different from being at home, but he wanted to go back to the temple of Rovel.

He glanced around and took a deep breath. The nobles' eyes had not stopped since he entered the banquet hall.

'...I miss my glasses.'

He hadn't taken his glasses off much since he left home, so it felt more unnatural to be without them now.

'Is it because I'm showing my real face?'

---My child, have confidence.

Kyros tried to cheer him up, but his strength kept draining.

He was glad that no one came to talk to him directly.

'What am I doing here?'

The banquet hall was filled with calm classical music, and the servants were walking around with food and drinks.

All he did was pick up some food from the corner and look around.

The hostess of today's banquet, his Mother, was busy talking to everyone, and the nobles kept approaching Sevenus and talking to him.

'Sevenus is definitely popular.'

---Are you jealous, my child?

'No. I'm more sorry than jealous. That must be very annoying.'

He had announced his departure to the outside world, so the nobles wouldn't come near him.

He was the second son of the Holden family, but his status was still a novice priest of the Kyros Church.

"You're so beautiful."

"Right? How can he be so noble?"

"But I heard he joined a small religion called the Kyros Church."

"Kyros Church? What's that?"

As he was sipping his drink, he heard the nobles' murmurs and their hot eyes on him.

The nobles were not from this area, so they didn't know about the Kyros Church.

That's when it happened. An unexpected situation occurred.

"The Third Prince of the Herpheon Empire, Gawayn Herpheon, has arrived!"

...Huh?

He was startled by the sudden announcement. There was a late guest, but he was a surprising person.

His Mother often did royal work, so he thought there might be some royalty involved.

'Why did he have to come?'

His brows furrowed.

A young man with short brown hair and a fancy suit entered the banquet hall.

That guy was the Third Prince of the empire, Gawayn Herpheon.

He was a fanatic of the Diego Church to the bone, and he was stupid.

He didn't play a big role or stand out much in the original work, but he didn't like him every time he said something.

---Hmm, I felt the snake's energy all over the banquet hall... But that guy is especially strong.

In the end, the Third Prince apologized to me and asked for a handshake. He must have realized the situation, no matter how stupid he was.

"No, Your Highness. It's okay."

I smiled and took the Third Prince's hand. But this kid, he put some strength in his hand as he shook it.

'Ouch.'

I wasn't going to let him win. I smiled and squeezed his hand.

"Ugh."

Then the Third Prince groaned and let go of his hand. He glared at me with an ugly expression, but he didn't say anything more and turned away.

Yeah, why did you pick a fight.

---Too bad. You could have given him more trouble.

'I think he got the message.'

---If you say so.

Kyros was a bit disappointed, but I felt quite relieved.

Right after Leira Holden's birthday banquet ended, Sevenus Holden left the banquet hall and headed to the mansion.

It was to see his younger brother who had returned to the mansion an hour ago.

'Levi.'

Sevenus felt uneasy whenever he thought of his young brother.

Since he was young, when Revelof had Malone's disease, the two had grown apart, but Revelof was always a precious brother to Sevenus.

But once the brothers' distance widened, it was not easy to narrow it.

"Sigh."

Sevenus sighed softly.

He didn't mean to distance himself from Revelof.

It was just a small consideration that started it.

When his precious brother was on the brink of life and death, he couldn't show his happiness alone as his older brother.

So he hid his emotions, and he didn't do anything happy for fear that his brother would envy his life. He lived so harshly that he couldn't get close to his brother.

As a result, he naturally began to drift away from Revelof and reached the present.

He tried to be kind to Revelof, but the distance that had developed was not easily narrowed.

But he finally found a way.

'You left me behind.'

Revelof left the Holden family on his own.

He couldn't stop him. He had always been lying in bed, locked up in his room, and it was his own choice of life.

But Sevenus always wanted to support his brother.

Knock knock.

Sevenus knocked and opened the door to Revelof's room. Then Revelof, who had changed into a priest's robe, greeted him.

"Brother."

He looked a little surprised, but Revelof smiled at Sevenus.

'He's so nice.'

"Levi, you look tired."

"A little. It's been a long time since I attended a banquet."

"Thank you for being with me."

"No."

Sevenus bit his lip slightly as he looked at Revelof, who seemed indifferent.

He didn't feel good when he thought of what had happened at the banquet hall today.

"Levi, I heard about what happened with the Third Prince today."

"Oh, you did?"

"I was furious when I heard that he said that to you, and so was Mother. She said she would see the Emperor himself and tell him about today's incident."

"Really?"

Revelof's eyes widened at the unexpected words.
