"Then remember the first sentence we learned in the college church? The common people are easy to abuse, but the God-Emperor is hard to bully... His eyes of judgment are always staring at each of us."
Hearing Arni's words, Igli Madden curled his lips.
"Okay, okay, you are noble, you are a kind person, thank you for reciting to me the sutra that your mother recited to you... No wonder you have had the dream of a space warrior since you were a child. It was not your father who stopped you.
You will probably die on the operating table now... Well, there are enough Space Marines here for you to see enough."
Arnie nodded.
"If my father hadn't said that I was here to greet the Supreme Lord Commander this time, I wouldn't have come... The Empire has not appointed an Astartes to such a position for many years, and that Soshyan Alek
Xie must be a very great hero."
"Oh, looking at you like that, he seems like the lover of your dreams."
He turned his head to look at his friend and nodded seriously.
"Yes, I wish I was like that."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Astartes can't touch women. How can a playboy like you, who has no love for women, endure it? Isn't that more uncomfortable than killing you?"
Arni smiled and shook his head, refuting this statement.
"First of all, I'm different from you wolves. I'm not a playboy. I take every relationship seriously. I've never forced any girl to go to bed with me. I've never actively abandoned anyone. I'll never leave me if they want to.
If I don’t stop me, most of the girls I have dated are still with me. In addition, if I really become an Astartes, then I will not be who I am now. For example, if a guy like you stands in front of me, I
I might twist your head off without hesitation."
His friend shrank back, twisted his neck, and smacked his tongue:
"Yo yo yo, you are murdering me? Then I am really glad that you have not become an Astartes. Thank you Emperor for sparing my life... Yes, I know you are a lover.
But your mother will force any girl who is pregnant with your child to have an abortion, am I right? Because she is afraid of angering the Werner family behind your fiancée."
Arni Morales' face suddenly darkened. He was so affectionate in large part because he was resisting this marriage. His marriage was set when he was very young, to a girl named Danica Werner.
But he didn't like that girl, because not only did she have a very conservative personality, but her beliefs were too fanatical, and she was even a bit perverted in his opinion...
The Werner family is a religious family. Their family has produced double-digit bishops. There is even an ancestor who served as a cardinal at the headquarters of the National Church of Terra. It has a huge influence in the Maelstrom area. However, it seems that for some reason, in the Council of Nobles,
It is very low-key, so it is not included in the Big Five, but it is often called the invisible sixth giant.
Danica Werner, who was born into such a family, has had a strong interest in religion and interrogation since she was a child. When she was seven years old, she observed the trial by fire for heretics - at that time, three thousand people were accused of heresy and then sentenced to death.
They were tied to a barbed iron frame and burned together.
Because her mother died young, she was brought up by her aunt who was a nun. In her daily life, Danica Werner is very rigid and conservative. She does not drink or entertain, does not wear make-up, and does not wear fancy clothes. She wears either priest robes or robes.
The nun's dress is either black or white. Although she actually looks good-looking, opening her mouth and shutting up is "what the God Emperor said." For a person with a personality like Arni Morales, marrying such a wife and
Suicide is no different.
Perhaps he also knew that this marriage was very unfair to his son. Arni Morales's father almost never interfered with his mischief with various women, but the only thing was that he could not cause anyone to die.
An illegitimate child is tantamount to a huge humiliation for the conservative Werner family and Danica Werner.
However, the more this happened, the more rebellious Arni Morales tried to "make people" with his lovers. However, these actions were discovered and resolved by his mother, an aristocratic lady from the Werner family lineage.
Already.
"It seems that this expedition has sent out many battle groups."
Realizing his friend's embarrassment, Igli Madden changed the topic.
"Well, there are at least eight known so far. It's hard to say whether there will be more on the way. The scale of the war is likely to exceed the previous Badab War. This is a symbol of the emperor's favor."
"Grace?"
Igri Madden grinned.
"Do you think this matter is certain?"
"Well...it's hard to say. After all, the Red Pirates are indeed very powerful."
"Hey, I heard that the Ministry of Military Affairs cannot allocate many troops this time, and the expeditionary force needs to recruit itself here. Maybe the logistics will need to be provided here. Do you think those old men will support it?"
Arni Morales hesitated for a moment, then whispered:
"Don't talk nonsense, this is a sacred expedition, and no one will support it."
But he knew very well that there were probably not many nobles who supported him. Arni Morales' passion did not mean he was stupid. In fact, he was one of the best geniuses among the young nobles in Sagan. He was just unwilling to be a director because of his dissatisfaction with his marriage.
, he sees the situation in the Maelstrom Area clearly than anyone else.
On this field, there are so many families who have an unclear relationship with the Red Pirates, and I'm afraid even half of them would be shot if they told the truth.
"Hey, your fiancée is here."
Looking in the direction of his friend's finger, Arni Morales immediately saw members of the Werner family who were surrounded by a group of followers two hundred meters away. They wore hooded cloaks, heavy robes and sacrificial robes, and held heavy canes.
Many had scarred faces, their bodies were hung with religious books tied in chains and decorated with Imperial eagles, and their skin and clothing were covered with scrolls and fragments of scripture.
And among this crowd that looked like a pilgrimage procession, there was his fiancée, wearing a boring nun's robe, holding a rosary in her hand, her expression as calm as a sculpture in the church, her long golden hair that should have been beautiful.
It is casually tied into a whip and thrown behind the head, which has no sense of beauty.
Perhaps aware of Arni's gaze, she turned her head slightly and glanced, but immediately lowered her gaze.
"Aren't you going to say hello?"
"What the hell! Are you going to listen to her chanting?"
"Hahaha, nuns are not bad either. I like to make those bitches dress up in nun costumes and look serious and then fuck them hard. Let me tell you, a buddy of mine often hangs out with the nuns from the nearby monastery.
Such a stone-like girl, the more slutty she is on the inside... Hey, hey, it's the ice queen from the Claremont family!"
Hearing the excited voice of his friend, Arny turned to the box diagonally above them. This was the seat belonging to the Clermont family, the trade lord. The family's flag was flying in the most conspicuous position, protruding from the seat level on the gilded beam frame.
, heraldic servitors are embedded into its structure, their faces distorted by the bionic sound playing hymns, and their arms are attached to non-lethal weapons, vigilantly tracking everyone who approaches. On this occasion
