The Villainess Will Leave Without Any Regrets - Chapter 139

unedited

“The reason we lost the protection of the gods is that the temple began to pursue profit and value their own safety. It is because faith is obtained by stimulating the public by hiding behind the stigma of a curse that is not true.”

“…… I will not deny it.”

The high priest presented the data he had gathered in front of the priest Beros. Beros was one of those who could still speak in the temple.

He declared neutrality and survived, but he was also a true believer.

“It might be better to atone for now and start over. It might be possible to regain the lost protection of the gods. Isn’t Skellus a merciful and kind god?”

“The temple will not be forgiven. Flowing blood is dripping onto the floor of the temple. The imperial family will certainly demand responsibility for this. Don’t forget that the blood of the imperial family is mixed with it, High Priest.”

“The Emperor will not scandalize us for it.”

“…… That would be an opportunity for the Imperial family to become stronger than the prieshood.”

“If we tell the truth, the priesthood will be greatly undermined. The Emperor has decided to move on to it.”

“Why… … .”

“It must be because there is something more serious.”

The high priest glanced at Beros and asked.

“Have you ever seen Lady Abella Amerigo?”

“…… Not long ago, she went to a temple. She came to receive the official recognition of the marriage sanctioned by the local temple after the proposal from Sirius.”

“What did she do?”

“…… She had the blessing of Skellus. I had never seen such a splendid divinity before. She has the protection of Skellus. In the temple that holds the lost god, Abella is cherished.”

All the priests who were there with their eyes open saw them. It was the high priest there that separated Abella from the confused priests that day.

“It was Timur, not just the temple, who helped downgrade it to a curse and make her life muddy. Lady Abella is a representative of our victims. After seeing her , can we still argue about the temple’s interests?”

At the high priest’s words, the priest kept quiet.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with that. If she had been born with such divinity, she should have been protected by the temple and raised in the most noble way.

There was a story that if people who embrace the divinity are neglected, disaster will come to the country.

If it goes like this, it might really do great harm to the Empire beyond Timur.

“…… Think carefully and decide.”

“Have you met any other people besides me? What decision did they make?”

“They will follow the will of their respective gods.”

It was an ambiguous word.

Beros sighed and stood up from his seat.

Again, there will be upheaval in the temple.

“Soon……. Something will happen to help you decide.”

Beros stopped. However, the high priest did not speak any further. He just saw off Beros with a cold face.

They were under pressure from the temple. However, since the imperial power was higher than the priesthood, so they had no choice but to follow Cade’s orders.

They have only one task.

It is to instill doubts about Skellus.

Changing the deep-rooted distrust, anger, and fears of people’s consciousness.

And the first newspaper article was published.

[Divinity was manifested in the child born on the day of Skellus.]

It was a title that grabbed people’s attention from the very beginning.

In particular, the eyes of the conservative and old-fashioned Timur people.

And the newspaper was passed on to Lorelia.

“What is this… … .”

“This is today’s newspaper, Grand Madam. Miss Abella told me to give it to you.”

The maid bowed her head and went out.

Lorelia read the newspaper article with a pale face.

It was an article that pointed out Timur’s mistakes and criticized people’s clumsy and narrow-minded way of thinking.

The curse of Skellus was not initiated by God, but by humans.

Lorelia’s lips trembled.

Each letter of the newspaper article seemed to pierce Lorelia’s chest. Lorelia rejected Abella in the name of the Skellus curse and has been tormenting her ever since.

She tried to kill her even though she was her daughter.

But now, why?

Laurelia tossed the newspaper and knocked over the table.

“Uhh, uwaaaaahhhh!”

It was better when she believed that Skellus had cursed Abella.
