Chapter 235: The Not-So-Holy Saintess

"Please, be careful! It’ll take you a long time to recover if you get hurt!"

"Why would I care about my health right now?!"

Elarion swatted away the hands trying to hold him back and immediately dropped to the floor, crawling toward Primrose like a man possessed.

Primrose’s eyes widened in shock, terrified, because the priest was crawling like a demon emerging straight from the depths of hell.

"Your Majesty, is it true?!" he cried out, trembling all over as he stopped right in front of her. "DID THE MOON GODDESS REALLY SPEAK TO YOU?!"

Primrose winced, her brows drawing together at the sheer volume of his voice. It was so loud that she actually saw a crack forming on her teacup.

How in the world could someone shout that loudly?

"Y-yes..." she answered softly, blinking a few times to stop the ringing in her ears. "The Moon Goddess spoke to me when His Majesty and I were about to pray."

[Impossible! This can’t be happening!]

Just like Edmund had been, the priests were utterly shocked, but their reactions were far more dramatic than his.

Suddenly, Elarion grabbed her hands and held them so tightly, Primrose honestly thought he was about to crush her bones.

"Your Majesty! No one has ever received this much of the Moon Goddess’s blessing before! This ... this is a once-in-a-lifetime miracle!"

To her surprise, he began crying. His tears fell like a river bursting through a dam, pouring down his cheeks without shame.

The other priests followed suit, and before she knew it, they were all weeping together. Not just their eyes, but their hearts seemed to be crying too.

[WHYYYY? WHY WAS I SO STUPID?!]

[WE ALMOST KILLED OUR HOLY SAINTESS!]

[We should die to atone for our sins against her! WHERE IS THE DAMN KNIFE?! I WILL OFFER MY BLOOD FOR THE NEW SAINTESS AND THE MOON GODDESS!]

Primrose stared at them in disbelief. Why was self-sacrifice the first thing that came to their minds?!

These beasts seriously needed to stop thinking death was the answer to everything!

"WE’RE SORRY FOR OUR NEGLIGENCE, YOUR HOLINESS!"

They slammed their foreheads against the floor, bowing in deep submission before Primrose.

Primrose’s eyes grew even wider. She immediately descended from her seat, completely startled. "What ... what are you doing?!"

Wait a second.

Did they just call her ... Your Holiness?!

There was nothing holy about her!

"WHY ARE YOU SITTING ON THE FLOOR, YOUR HOLINESS?!"

In a blur of movement, the priests picked her up and gently placed her back in the chair before she even realized what was happening.

"THE FLOOR IS TOO FILTHY FOR YOU!"

"JUST AS WE THOUGHT, YOUR HOLINESS IS TOO HUMBLE! YOU WANT TO SHOW US THAT YOU SEE YOURSELF AS OUR EQUAL!"

"BUT WE’RE NOT EQUAL, YOUR HOLINESS! WE WOULD GLADLY SACRIFICE OUR BODIES AND SOULS FOR YOU!"

Primrose leaned back slightly, closing her eyes as the priests kept shouting at her like a chorus of overexcited cult followers.

Her ears began ringing again, and she was starting to regret ever saying anything in the first place.
