Chapter 948: Volume 30 The Beginning of the Empire - 19 The Demon Approaches
"What exactly do you want?" Miss Klepper, her face pale, stared at the intruder who had burst into her residence in the dead of night. In fact, she had already understood his purpose since their last encounter on the Patrae Sea Surface. She hadn’t been at ease since then, yet deep down she still hoped for that slim chance, but what was impending was bound to come.
"Miss Klepper, do I still need to explain?" Komer reclined leisurely in a soft chair, enjoying the cozy warmth of her boudoir. He knew what she was thinking, but since he dared to come, he naturally had a way to make her submit. From her currently unexploded state, the likelihood of her submitting peacefully seemed high. "As the pride of the Kingdom of Sparta, to do such a crazed thing because of unrequited love from a foreigner, I can hardly believe that a prestigious priestess from the Olympus Temple could commit such an atrocious act. Could it be that the gods worshipped in the Olympus Temple are some bloodthirsty, perverted evil gods?"
Komer’s merciless words turned Miss Klepper even paler. The events of more than ten years ago were like a nightmare, now being peeled away bit by bit, with salt being rubbed into the wounds. Klepper couldn’t imagine how she could continue to live in the Southern Mediterranean if these things were exposed. The reputation of the Athens Olympus Temple Priest might stink for miles around.
Miss Klepper’s gaze fell on Komer’s face. She didn’t know the exact purpose of his visit, but one thing was certain: he was definitely out to use her secret to blackmail her into doing things she was unwilling to do. But did she still have the power to refuse him?
Kill him? This thought had been revolving countless times in Miss Klepper’s mind, but she had dismissed it each time. The considerable power he displayed made anyone who wanted to lay hands on him think twice. Especially since he dared to barge in so brazenly, he must have a secret weapon. More importantly, she didn’t have any confidence in dealing with him, and the secrets that might be revealed could bring even more trouble.
"What do you want to do?" Miss Klepper tried hard to calm herself down. The solid mental state she had maintained over the years was not easy to steady once it had been disrupted, but faced with immense crisis pressure, her thoughts were chaotic, and the inner fear and worry had already made her somewhat unable to control her emotions.
"Miss Klepper, I really want to know why a high and noble priestess like you would want to do such a thing. Do you think you can hide it from Helena for a lifetime? Don’t you feel a bit of guilt in your heart? I simply cannot understand your warped mentality, or perhaps, the thrill Zellin gave you was that great?" Komer asked provocatively, truly wanting to understand what mindset drove such a divinized priestess to act this way.
