Chapter 234: The Moon Goddess’ Hidden Intention

"We apologize for this, Your Majesty." One of the priests bowed his head repeatedly before Edmund and Primrose. "The structure of this temple is extremely old, so sometimes, stones fall from above."

The sound of the massive rock hitting the ground had been so loud that everyone around the temple heard it almost instantly.

Several holy priests who had been deep in prayer inside the private chamber stopped immediately and rushed toward the main hall.

It seemed this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. Even though they looked alarmed, the priests appeared to follow some kind of protocol, as if they had dealt with this kind of emergency before.

At first, they didn’t realize the identities of Edmund and Primrose, but Edmund decided to reveal who they were just to find out how many people had already been injured in this supposedly sacred place. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Primrose could see the stunned look on all their faces when they realized they had nearly witnessed the death of the Queen of Noctvaris.

"How long has this been happening?" Edmund asked, his tone firm.

The priest—who looked like a middle-aged man (though Primrose guessed he was probably close to five hundred years old)—replied in a low voice, "It’s been going on for quite some time ... maybe the last thirty years."

A vein visibly popped on Edmund’s forehead as he processed the priest’s answer. "It’s been that long, and yet none of you ever reported this to the palace?!"

[At the very least, they should have reported it to the previous king. But even now, after I’ve taken over the throne, I’ve never once heard anything about this temple falling apart.]

The priest lowered his head even further. "We ... we were afraid that if we started any reconstruction, it would damage the sacredness of this temple."

Primrose quietly sipped her tea, watching her husband’s expression shift from serious to furious.

She was quite sure that Edmund wouldn’t be this angry if she hadn’t almost died earlier.

"That’s your biggest concern?" Edmund asked, his voice lowering dangerously. He didn’t need to be loud because his tone alone was enough to make people freeze.

Still, Primrose couldn’t help but find it ... kind of hot. Alright, maybe really hot.

"We deeply apologize, Your Majesty," the priests said in unison, bowing again. "But since no one has died from it yet, we didn’t think it was an urgent matter."

One of the priests quietly thought to himself, [Even one visitor was hit by two falling rocks a few months ago ... and he’s still alive.]

Primrose narrowed her eyes slightly. She wanted to be angry, but at the same time, it kind of made sense.

After all, beasts didn’t die so easily from something like falling rocks.

Now she was convinced the Moon Goddess had dropped that stone directly over her head as a message: Fix. Her. Temple. Immediately.

"Were you planning to wait until my wife died before doing something about this place?" Edmund snapped. He stood up and began pacing in front of them, clearly trying to hold himself back from saying something much harsher.
