Chapter 34
Her heart sank.
With a look of despair, Evelyn squeezed her eyes shut.
At that very moment, the man finally realized something was wrong and roughly grabbed her by the shoulder.
The priest, dressed in pure white robes, seized her chin and jerked her hood back.
"So, you're the intruder disguised as Mikael!"
Biting her lip in frustration, Evelyn glared at him.
The priest looked at her and grinned like a beast.
"A mere woman dares sneak into this sacred place... I'll drag you before the High Priest and make sure you pay dearly for desecrating the sanctity of the temple!"
Every instinct screamed at her to run.
She clenched her fists, preparing to shove him aside and escape.
Just then—
"So this is how a noble priest behaves."
Black smoke drifted out from nowhere and suddenly twisted itself around the priest's wrist that was gripping Evelyn's shoulder.
"Urgh!"
The unexpected force threw the priest violently to the ground.
Standing behind him—
It was Kallian.
"What a blasphemous act to commit within the halls of God."
The moment she saw him, the tension left Evelyn's legs.
She nearly collapsed with relief.
The priest quickly scrambled to his feet, sensing something was terribly wrong.
"W-What the— Gah...!"
He spun around with wide eyes.
Then he froze.
Evelyn knew why.
The Grand Duke had arrived.
Clad entirely in black from head to toe, he radiated such overwhelming pressure that even the priest's pure white robes seemed swallowed by darkness.
The priest broke the suffocating silence first.
"Your Highness, the Grand Duke! You've come at the perfect time!"
"That woman infiltrated the temple during the confusion. She's a servant of evil!"
No sooner had Evelyn felt relieved than her heart sank again.
If Kallian openly helped such an obvious intruder, suspicion would naturally fall upon him as well.
That must never happen.
She bit her lower lip.
That's right... He won't help me so openly.
He must have another plan.
But as if none of that mattered, Kallian calmly walked over to her.
Then he gently wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"I'm not sure who's truly committing blasphemy here."
This isn't the time for this...
Evelyn looked at him in confusion.
Feeling her gaze, Kallian turned to meet her eyes.
"How dare you insult the woman who is to become my wife by calling her a servant of evil."
A lazy smile curved across his lips before he turned back toward the priest.
"According to the Law of Johansen, cutting out your tongue would be a fitting punishment..."
His deep voice subdued the other man effortlessly.
His golden eyes stared straight ahead like those of a starving beast.
"But there's no need to leave evidence that would invite suspicion."
A strange black aura gathered above Kallian's raised palm.
"So instead..."
The black smoke coiling around the priest's wrist climbed up his arm and burrowed into his head.
The bright blue in his eyes instantly became clouded.
"Please... forget everything that happened today."
The moment the focus vanished from the priest's eyes, Kallian snapped his fingers.
Snap.
Fwoosh—
Black smoke erupted from beneath their feet.
The surging darkness swirled around them like crashing waves, completely enveloping the two of them.
