The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 147

***

Late evening that day.

High Priest Jubelud signed the transfer of divine power in support of Grand Duke Berg this year, and even stamped the seal of the Great Temple, then walked out of his office.

He hoped this would make Grand Duke Berg feel a little better. Grand Duke Jubelud sighed. It was regrettable that Seria and Lesche Berg would be leaving the temple so soon tomorrow. He also felt that if Seria and Lina were on good terms, there would be no reason for them to leave like that.

‘I wish the Saintess would be more mature…’

Lina said that the world she had been living in from the beginning had changed, so she had to be careful about the temple.

Lesche Berg was waiting for her in the private reception room.

“Thank you for your patience. Grand Duke Berg, here are the documents I’ve stamped. Please accept them and come back later to visit with Stern.”

Lesche, who had been looking out the window, turned around. He walked on his long legs and sat on the couch. And… his expression.



“High priest Jubelud.”

It was still very bad.

Was it because he was called during the social season?

“When I bring my wife back, will you use the sacred relic to extract her power again?”

“What?”

What an outrageous thing to say. ….

“She’s getting thinner.”

“Stern?”

“Seria didn’t eat much of the temple food before…She couldn’t even eat properly.”

“That’s….”

Seria was only newsworthy in the temple. It was a fact known to all priests who were interested in Stern.

“When you made such a big deal out of the discovery of the Constellation Gold Mine, now you’re so distracted by the Saintess and treating my wife poorly?”

“Treat her poorly? No, Your Highness! Please calm down.”

“Shouldn’t the priests be the first to make a request? What the hell…..”

It was only belatedly that High Priest Jubelud knew that Lesche’s mood was really bottoming out. With Lesche’s eyes sunk in anger, the High Priest couldn’t help but make an excuse.

“It’s true that I paid more attention to the problem of the Saintess’s child, but I’m definitely not neglecting Stern…”

“That’s a nice story, High Priest. Does your treatment of Stern change depending on whether or not you have the Saintess’s child in the Great Temple? I can’t imagine such a faithless relationship.”

“…….”

The accusation left High Priest Jubelud momentarily speechless.

“In the Central Territories, under no circumstances is Stern the most valuable. I hope you understand it clearly.”

“…….”

Those were words that could only be said because he was Grand Duke Berg, the guardian of the demons’ tomb. It was also serious enough to send shivers down the spines of the listeners. Originally, Lina was also a Stern, and there was also another Stern, Myote, but it didn’t matter to Lesche.
