Chapter 204 (2): How Dare She? He’s Still a Child!
“Mother?”
Veronica didn’t understand it. Didn’t she say that she would give up? Why did she stop hesitating instead?
“There’s someone I resent in Londan. She’s the previous Holy Maiden and my old rival. Every day, she passive-aggressively flaunts her past victory at me, mocking me for my failure.” Silvia huffed. “I’ll give you a mission: defeat the candidate she recommends.”
She wouldn’t fight for one of them becoming the Holy Maiden or the Anointed One. Wayne and Veronica should seize their youth to have a relationship. But!
Although she wasn’t going to compete for victory, she didn’t want Flora to win, either. She thus played her aces, determined to make the label ‘Washed-up Holy Maiden’ stick on Flora.
Hearing that her mother had suffered, Veronica got angry on her behalf, considering Flora’s candidate her lifelong archenemy before she even learned who they were. Wayne also nodded vehemently. No matter who that person was, he would lead the charge against them to get revenge for his master.
“Master, is the former Holy Maiden the one you told me about before, Flora Evelina?”
“That’s her. She’s a shrewd woman, and I’ve been avoiding taking you to the district head office because I’m concerned about her schemes,” Silvia said with a huff.
Wayne stroked his chin, his eyes glinting. “Master, what does she look like?”
“She’s beautiful—on the outside, at least... Why do you ask?”
“I’m worried that she may resort to seduction, so I want to be ready.”
“You have a point.” Silvia thought about it and concluded that Wayne was right. Her student was so talented that unless he gave up voluntarily, he would certainly become the Anointed One through the selection; even the goddess would gasp in amazement when She saw him.
