Chapter 117 — Knight’s Oath
The next morning, the soldiers had all gathered around the grand duke and grand duchess who explained to them what happened.
Some still had trouble believing but they were convinced once the grand duke expressed his support for the grand duchess. They knew if a man who disliked someone so much believed that person’s words, they wouldn’t be empty words.
To verify, Cynthia asked to gather all the corpses they could find so that she could identify that strange energy once again.
As the knights were following the orders, Cynthia could not help but wonder if the sense she developed was related to her divine powers— the powers she had inherited from her late mother, Queen Irina, who was a saintess.
Does that mean I am truly a saintess?
She wondered, clenching her fist.
Feeling a gentle caress on her forehead, she flinched and stepped back promptly, ready to attack the person who dared to touch her.
"I apologize for scaring you... However, you should not worry to the extent you must frown, Your Highness. Everything is under control," Lucian smiled softly, confusing Cynthia.
She could not understand why that man was suddenly so kind to her. He wasn’t disrespectful before however, now... It seemed had was a completely different man from her past life.
Was it due to her actions? Because she changed, along with the past events everything began changing.
But the pain I suffered... I will never forget it. It does not matter how much of a better man you turn into, Grand Duke Lucian. You must pay for your sins. So does your father, King Valerian.
