Chapter 134: Protective Father
Sure, he was a good friend and a great strategist... But that wasn’t the only reason he called for him. A man who never wanted to get involved in conflicts... What would he do when his daughter’s life was on the line?
The Marquess confessed about his daughter which left him in shock. It made him wonder if this was why he was so eager to deal with the Holy Temple. Either that or he was a genius who was able to predict that there were deeper problems with the Temple.
If she had the powers that his friend confessed to him... No, he would never let him use his daughter. He would never allow her to replace the healers. He would never let her exhaust herself by continuously producing holy powers.

Things fell into place for Adeline. She wasn’t aware of the worsening situation... She wasn’t aware that there could be a war! She was just glad that her father was going to leave to meet the Emperor. She could peacefully explore the ruins!
Adeline sat in her chamber, her fingers tracing the edge of a map she’d borrowed from the library. Her frustration with Dimitri’s departure had transformed into determination. She couldn’t leave yet, but she could plan.
But for now, she’d have to wait. And while she waited, the world outside moved closer to conflict. The tension between the Empire and the Holy Temple was reaching its peak.
Unbeknownst to Adeline, her journey to the ruins would intertwine with this growing storm, thrusting her into the heart of a battle she could never have anticipated.
She dutifully kept checking the map and trying to figure out where exactly this ruin was. Unfortunately for her, there were far too many! There were many civilisations before the Lunaria Empire.
