Kapitel 379: Uneasy Feeling

Two women were seated in a room which was adorned with intricate tapestries and paintings depicting scenes from religious lore, and the walls were lined with shelves filled with ancient scrolls and holy texts. Soft, flickering candlelight illuminated the space, casting a warm glow across the opulent furnishings.

"So, what is the progress of our plan? Did that bodyguard of Saintess Amelia agree to become Holy Knight Commander?"

Priestess Helena asked.

"That damn commoner! He actually refused my offer."

Cardinal Hildred roared.

"Not only that, he dares show such disrespect to me. Who gave him such courage? It must be that woman. Just like the owner, that slave is equally ignorant."

Cardinal Hildred continued yelling. She was pretty angry with Zero, even more so than the Saintess.

"So, our plan failed?"

Priestess Helena asked, disappointed. She seemed neither angry nor hateful for Saintess and Zero, but she was indeed disappointed.
