Chapter 126: Went Too Far
She grabbed Dimitri’s hand and ran towards the teleportation circle intending to activate it. The knights immediately acted, they had no time to waste! If their lady intended to go down, they had no choice but to go down with her!
It was either die protecting her or die at the Marquess’s hand for not doing so.
Adeline would have rolled her eyes if she knew what they were thinking. You won’t die! I have powers, I would just heal you. Hehe
It didn’t take long for them to reach the gates of the Holy Temple, it was quite close by. Their carriage wasn’t exactly lowkey, it had her family crest on it. This meant that anyone could’ve sent word to Edward about her arrival.
She didn’t care about being caught, if he dared to approach her she would make sure he would regret it. She had her knights and Dimitri by her side. Her confidence was practically through the roof.
The gates were massive, carved from a strange white stone that gleamed like polished marble. Golden inlays formed patterns of suns and stars, symbols of the divine power the temple claimed to embody.
For a place that was considered to be the holiest of them all, the atmosphere was filled with dread. The air here felt different... Heavier, charged with a strange energy that made Adeline shiver.
Fortunately for her, no one there noticed. They were too busy preparing for a war. The Emperor heard the news of the rebellion. The army was loyal to the Captain, but their nation came first.
When they caught their Captain’s plans to turn against the Empire and instead pledged loyalty to such an organisation, they made sure the Emperor knew of it. While many did not dare to disobey their Captain.
There were still those whose loyalty could be taken away from them.
When the Emperor read the report he couldn’t control his rage. How dare they try to act against him?!
