Chapter 31

T/N: Slight mentions of suicide, be warned.

"Don't touch her. Stand back."

Goosebumps rose up my body as Izek clasped my half-stretched body. A faint blue light was gushing from Izek's palm, holding Freya, who was throwing up blood.

That's...

Izek looked back at me for the last time.

His calm face, which showed neither agitation nor shock, was unexpected, but his chilling cold frozen eyes were even more unfamiliar.

"Get out of here."

"What?"

"Ivan! Please do it for me!"

Others followed behind Izek, who ran quickly into the temple. Ellenia also looked at me once and ran straight after him. It was noisy everywhere. A chaotic mess. I raised my arms and gazed blankly at Freya's blood on my long sleeves.

I thought of my sister.

To be exact, her last appearance. The dried blood on her thin wrist...

"You..."

A rough hand suddenly clasped the back of my neck. Huh, this kid? I never expected him to be friendly in the first place. But why was he attacking me all of a sudden?

"You did it!"

"What..."

"I knew this would happen. From the beginning, this witch was behind her!"

What?

With a loud sound, the force that gripped the back of my neck loosened. Thwack, thwack, thwack! I opened my eyes wide, swallowing a cough.

A man was beating Lorenzo's head mercilessly like a tin drum, with his huge palm. Lorenzo couldn't even dare to fight back and soon fell on the floor.

"Lady Rudbeckia. Please forgive this rudeness. My foolish son seems to be out of his mind for a while." The man's eyes, who politely bowed to me, were a cold purple.

In other words, Marquis Furiana had beat up his own son. What a shrewd move. This was the front yard of the Temple, the land of Brittania, and I was the Pope's daughter to whom the temple swore allegiance.

It was stupid to come at me here and accuse me all of a sudden; nothing short of accusing the temple and the Vatican City together. The problem was that the fact seemed to be amplifying antipathy.

Boom!

Even before I could answer anything, the roar of thunder shook heaven and earth. Screams rang. Someone who approached quickly wrapped their arms around my shoulder and led me somewhere.

"My Lady, this way... D-Damn it, forgive me for being rude."

In one go, my blood-soaked sleeve was ripped off by Lord Ivan's grasp. His hands were also surrounded by blue smoke-like light. Beyond rudeness, it was an act of wonder.

"Come on, everyone, get out of the temple quickly! This is not an emergency drill!"

"Area B sealed immediately, not emergency training! I repeat, block Area B immediately, not emergency training!"

"Let's take the people out first!"

Thick raindrops poured down over the rushing people. I felt that I was the only one who didn't understand what was going on. While I was being dragged, I heard a faint cry from afar. It was a bizarre cry, a mixture of flute and trumpet sounds.

Paladins with torches burning green ran and put the torches between the walls. Black smoke was emanating from over the wall. I had never heard or seen a case where the monsters come near the temple or attempt to get close to the temple.
