章節 287: KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS (5)

"HIS HOLINESS is going to be excommunicated?"

"This isn't good…"

"Our empire follows the Astello Temple because it worships Lord Yule…"

"If the citizens heard the saint's betrayal…"

"No, we can't let them know about the real reason why His Holiness disappeared!"

Neoma clenched her hands.

Of course, she already expected things to turn out this way. If the citizens found out about the saint's betrayal, then it would bring chaos to the empire. Thus, she hadn't activated the video-recording devices floating in the air yet.

"T-The temple will discuss it within ourselves later," High Priest Wellington, who looked like strength had left him, said in a weak tone. He also turned pale, and bullets of sweat on his forehead were visible. "For now, it would be wise to keep this a secret to the citizens of the empire– especially from the followers of Astello Temple."

Neoma nodded in agreement. "I will respect your decision, Your Excellency."
