The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 145

***

*Lina’s POV in the first half chapter.*

***

Haneton’s aide walked in and bowed deeply.

“Saintess. It’s a gift from Marquis Haneton.”

“Is Kalis all right?”

“The doctor says he needs more rest.”

Lina heard about what happened between Lesche and Kalis. She was startled by what happened and went to visit Kalis, but he politely sent her back.

“…Why doesn’t Kalis want to see me?”



“He doesn’t want you to see his injuries, so I hope the Saintess will understand. He said congratulations from the bottom of his heart.”

With several congratulations, Haneton’s aide retreated, and Lina felt relieved.

‘Kalis isn’t such a bad guy.’

However, her elevated heart went cold at the mention of Kalis’s request for another divorce the other day.

“…….”

If it had been the Lina of the past, she would have divorced Kalis immediately.

But Kalis had hurt her so much.

For he had used her as a tool after all.

So she deliberately asked Seria to marry her so that Kalis would listen.

Lina was filled with the desire to make Kalis regret. She was also full of resentment as to why she was the only one who had to be in pain and unhappy. So she proposed to Seria. Kalis would never ask Seria to marry him, but Lina, the saint, would be different.

“If this child is Seria’s divine power, divorce Grand Duke Berg and marry me.”

It was outrageous, but if she really was going to live with Seria in the Great Temple.

She intended to ban Kalis from entering the temple.

It would be difficult to completely control Lesche Berg because of his status, but he would still lose his wife.

Won’t Seria feel uncomfortable too?

That one word was slightly better than telling Kalis that she couldn’t divorce him and that she wanted the position of Grand Duchess of Berg.

Then the three of them will have a hard time like herself (Lina’s).

Seria was right, the proposal Lina had made out of spite had been such a reasonable one in retrospect. After Seria left, Kalis came to her (Lina) and looked at her in great pain. Her heart hurt a little when she saw that look…

First of all, it was Kalis who was in pain.

In the meantime, Lina didn’t beg to marry Lesche Berg because he looked too hard in her eyes.

Then again…wouldn’t it be great for Kalis to marry the Grand Duke Berg?

Because the man who wanted Seria to be alone the most was none other than Kalis.

On the other hand, Lina resented Seria.

Because if it weren’t for Seria, Kalis would never have seen her (Lina) as a tool.

Then she wouldn’t feel hurt.

Until now, Lina had never properly exercised her power over any priest or noble.

That was because she was new to this world and had always been insecure.

But now ….

Lina wrapped her lower stomach tightly.
