Chapter 124: Go To The Holy Temple
Adeline drew in a quick breath, the Duchess was incredibly perceptive. She nodded slowly, "You are right. I am trying to make allies because my powers are infinite. I can do anything with them... And the thing that is on top of my list... Is to bring the Holy Temple to the ground."
The Duchess raised her head. There was a spark in her eyes. This child... She really liked her! She liked her fire, she liked her thinking. She liked her courage. It wasn’t often that someone as young as Adeline possessed such bold conviction.
The Duchess tapped her fingers lightly against the armrest of her chair, intrigued by Adeline’s declaration. Just what scheme is this child cooking up?
"And, how do you plan to do that?" The Duchess kind of knew the answer. She said so herself. Her powers were infinite. She could make the Holy Temple obsolete. But how did she plan to do that...
It isn’t favourable in the long run, but she still decided to give Adeline a chance to explain herself.
"I will make sure everyone has access to my healing powers, the temple is only in power as long as they control the holy power, but they will never control me." She said with confidence.
The Duchess frowned for a second, but she quickly recovered. A thought crossed her mind, but it wouldn’t be right to discuss that with a child. She didn’t want to dampen Adeline’s enthusiasm either.
Adeline quickly summoned a butterfly, she created a spoon with holy power and casually dropped it in the cup of coffee the Duchess was holding.
I shouldn’t have let her off this easily! She clearly needs more etiquette lessons!
The Duchess was not amused by her holy spoon. She took a sip of the coffee nevertheless and felt refreshed. Her annoyance with Adeline’s move reduced significantly. She should probably make Adeline produce a bunch of these spoons before she left.
It would come in a pinch when she had to go through lots of documents.
