Chapter 322.2
“Has another official arrived from the kingdom?”
As Eugene reached the door of the office, the attendant promptly opened it without uttering a word. Stepping inside, she locked eyes with Kasser, who rose from his seat and approached the desk.
“Did I interrupt something earlier?” Kasser asked, wearing a casual expression.
“No, thanks to you, everyone seemed to be in good spirits. What happened earlier?” Eugene inquired.
“Well… it’s a bit complicated,” Kasser sighed, proceeding to explain the unexpected turn of events. He described how Sang-je had ascribed great significance to this year’s Celestial Festival. Unlike previous ceremonies, Sang-je had claimed to receive a divine revelation. Moreover, he had designated two individuals, supposedly born under divine will, to assist him in attaining the sacred completion of the festival.
“It means that it would be quite troublesome if you don’t participate in the Celestial Festival,” Kasser conveyed.
During her time on Earth, Eugene had never embraced any religion and had no reliance on the existence of a god. Therefore, the symbolic importance of the Celestial Festival didn’t resonate with her. Upon hearing that Sang-je would announce a divine revelation during this year’s event, she felt more guarded than angry, pondering, What kind of scheme are they attempting?
“How troublesome could it really be?” Eugene questioned.
“If you choose not to participate in the Celestial Festival, Sang-je will hold you responsible should the ceremony fail. The majority of the kingdom’s people will likely criticize you,” Kasser responded, emphasizing the potential consequences.
