The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 136

***

“It’s divine power, Lina. Calm down.”

“Divine power? If it’s divine power, it’s nothing. I don’t want it. Does it make sense?”

“Don’t cry, Lina. It’s only three months, and the priests said it’ll be over in just three months..”

Lina burst into tears and nodded.

3 months.

It was three months. That limited time was the hope that sustained Lina.

After three months, the sacred child would be transferred from her body to the sacred tree. This was exactly what was normally recorded in the Bible.

So, Lina only had to endure three months.

Kalis had a complicated look on her face. Before he came in, he spoke to priest Jubelud. He was told that as soon as Lina heard that she was pregnant by divine power, she just fainted. Her body and mind had become so weak that she could not bear the shock.



The priest also said that Lina continued to look for Kalis. So he said to make sure that what he said was also comforting…

“…Lina.”

It was unknown if it was his divine power, or the divine power of Lesche Berg, or Seria’s. They won’t be certain until after 3 months.

Kalis rubbed his dry face and opened his mouth.

“You didn’t hear whose divine power is tied to it, did you?”

“…I didn’t hear.”

The fact that two divine powers could be combined was something that Lina had learned while taking the class. Kalis spoke in a slow voice.

“He said it could be my divine power or the divine power of God.”

Lina finally looked relieved.

“I’m glad if it’s Kalis… I was scared that it might be a total stranger.”

“It could be God’s child.”

The reality of having an unwanted child out of the blue was too much to handle, but if it was someone she didn’t know, she would have felt cursed.

“Lina. I’ll tell you in advance.”

“…Hmm? Tell me what in advance?”

Kalis continued to speak slowly.

“It doesn’t matter whose child it is, I will take responsibility for the child.”

“What are you thinking? Grand Duchess.”

At Linon’s words, Seria moved her meaningless gaze from the window.

“I didn’t know I would have a child with another woman.”

“…Grand Duchess, please!”

“What?”

“Don’t say that because it hasn’t been confirmed yet. My heart is about to drop.”

It was not an exaggeration. Linon’s face was really pale.

“Why do you look so pale?”

“No, His Highness…”

“Lesche? What’s wrong with Lesche?”

Linon hesitated and said.

‘I don’t think the Grand Duchess has seen this, but His Highness went out to the frontier earlier and was in a bad mood…The Berg knights were frozen for a while, unable to speak. The sturdy knights did, but what about the soft and feeble me?”
