Chapters 131-135

Episode 131: Spread the Word (VIII)

The two had the same dream a few nights ago, after they mustered up all their divine power to pray.

It was a dream in which the interior of the temple in the Tersia territory was reflected.

They saw a tremendous light surrounded by people and regarded it as a revelation from the goddess.

Thus, they came to Tersia without Rabienne's knowledge to check.

"I heard rumors about the well and came by just in case. It's surprising."

"Yes. A well imbued with divine power. Isn't this a sacred object that the temple should take care of? I can't believe it's just on a random street? Really..."

They were admiring the existence of the well when they saw Esther and her brothers.

"Those children... Oh, I recognize their faces. I think they are the grand duke's children."

"Then the girl must have been taken from our temple."

The children of the grand duke.

Among them, Kyle and Joffrey's eyes narrowed in on Esther.

It was because it was not considered a mere coincidence to meet a child who was a candidate for sainthood in a place they went to based on a dream which might have been a revelation.

The eyes of the two people observing Esther were full of tension.

"Come to think of it, that child..."

Joffrey was startled. He suddenly realized something.

"Doesn't her appearance match the revelation we heard?"

His voice trembled thinly, probably because he realized an overwhelming truth. That trembling was passed on to Kyle.

"Yes. It was definitely a child with grayish brown hair and pink eyes."

As Kyle and Joffrey's suspicions grew...

Esther and the twins returned to the carriage with Jerome.

Kyle's mind raced, and he hurriedly asked Joffrey.

"Uh, what should we do? Should we follow?"

"Let's go for now. There must be something about that child."

With a resolute nod, the two hurriedly followed Esther's carriage.
(TL/N: let's not think too hard about how they followed lmao #my_midnightamusement you guys know I don't often comment in the middle unnecessarily, right?)

After a while, the carriage stopped at the temple of Tersia.

Now, since anyone could go in and out of the shelter, they were able to look inside the shelter without being stopped.

"It's much better managed than I thought."

"I know right. To think this was the space created by the cold-blooded grand duke. I can't believe it even after seeing it."

They thought there would be confusion due to the closing of the temple, but the faces of the people in the shelter looked well-to-do and happy.

"Is this a place like this that the goddess showed us?"

"...Let's take a closer look."

Kyle and Joffrey observed the shelter while looking for Esther.

But the girl was out of sight for a long time.

It was when they headed back to the center of the shelter, trying hard to calm their growing nervousness.

The girl they were looking for appeared. She, along with one of the boys of the grand ducal family, headed to the place where the patients were.
