Chapter 245 (2): More Suitable for Adults
“You’re overthinking this. I never intended to threaten you with the curse of dragon blood. The Nature Knight is more powerful than you imagine, and I’m doing this to increase your chances of becoming the chosen knight.” Senna shook her head slightly. “Once you receive the goddess’s power, you’ll know that I haven’t lied to you.”
Fine, whatever you say.
Knowing that Senna was betting on dragon blood, Wayne immediately relaxed. With his cheat, there was no way he would be corrupted by dragon blood. Senna was destined to gain nothing.
“Master Senna, there are things I won’t hide from you at this point. I can withdraw from the Holy Maiden selection, but there’s one person I must defeat first.”
“Who?”
“Ottilia Ferdinand. Her master, Flora Evelina, is the previous Holy Maiden.”
“Reason being?”
“Flora offended my master. Anyone can become the Holy Maiden, but absolutely not her student,” Wayne said with finality.
He hadn’t approved of Auston’s plan before, but after seeing more of the church’s upper echelons, he had to admit that Auston had a point. The church was a cesspool that Silvia should get out of while she could.
The two knights had high hopes for Flora, hoping that she could wake Silvia up. But first, Flora had to be cornered—she had to lose the Holy Maiden selection.
Senna stared at Wayne intently. Every word out of his mouth was either Silvia or Master. For a moment, she felt an intense envy. If only she had such an obedient protege.
“Master Senna, I’ve studied those maps you provided before. If I’m not mistaken, the higher-ups can pair up the rivals. For example, they were the ones who arranged for mansion number four to be next to mansion number eight.”
