The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237: The Unwanted Holy Title

"Thank you for explaining the meaning behind the Moon Goddess’ words." Primrose cleared her throat, clearly trying to bring the priests back to reality.

"To be honest, this whole situation still feels like a dream to me," she admitted with a soft laugh. "When I came to this place, I only wanted to follow the legend, but ... unexpectedly, the Moon Goddess spoke to a lowly creature like me. It’s truly an honor."

Elarion immediately stepped forward, looking almost offended. "Your Majesty, you are not someone insignificant!"

He said passionately. "The Moon Goddess only speaks to those she chooses. Even many priests and priestesses spend their lives in prayer without ever hearing her voice."

Silvan quickly added, "Reverend Father Elarion is right, Your Majesty. You must hold a special place in the Moon Goddess’ heart, for her to speak directly to you."

He bowed his head slightly, his tone gentle and respectful. "That’s why this temple will always welcome you. You may come here whenever you wish, and I’ll make sure everyone gives you full access."

Primrose tilted her head, curious. "Full access? You mean I can explore every part of this temple without needing permission?"

"You’re absolutely right, Your Majesty," Elarion answered. "To us, you’re no longer just a visitor or an ordinary follower of the Moon Goddess. If I may put it into words, you are what we would call ... the Saintess."

That title again.

Primrose still didn’t understand how they could label her the Holy Saintess just because she’d heard the Moon Goddess’ voice once. It’s not like she was going to hear her again, right?

Besides, she didn’t consider herself a holy person. In fact, to be honest, the word "Saintess" made her extremely uncomfortable. Just hearing it twisted something in her stomach, making her feel nauseous, like she was going to throw up then and there.

She swore she had nothing against saints or saintesses in general, but every time someone associated her with that title, something inside her rebelled.

It made her angry, but she had no idea why.

But what could she say? If she told anyone that being called "Saintess" made her furious, they’d probably think she was insane. So instead, Primrose decided to keep that feeling to herself. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"If that’s the case," Primrose said with a graceful smile, hiding her discomfort, "then I’ll gladly accept the privilege."

Then, her expression shifted slightly. "And honestly ... I think that boulder falling near me earlier was the Moon Goddess’ way of sending a message. She wants me to ask you to let His Majesty renovate this old temple."

She glanced at each of the priests, watching their reactions closely. "Would you be willing to set aside tradition for a moment and allow us to repair this temple? I don’t want anyone else getting hurt."

Elarion sighed deeply, shame clouding his face. "Of course, Your Majesty," he said softly. "The rest of us and I won’t stand in the way if the kingdom wishes to rebuild the temple’s structure."

[Maybe this was the Moon Goddess’ way of telling me that I’ve been foolish all along for holding onto such a ridiculous ideology,] Elarion thought.
