Chapter 172

“Thud!”

With a heavy crash, the ancient tome in Tia’s hands hit the floor.

The young nun beside her, who was tidying up the bookshelf, chuckled lightly.

“Oh dear, what’s up with our dear Saintess today? Always daydreaming, can’t even hold onto a book! Giggling, could it be you’re thinking of a man?”

Even though she always appeared compassionate and gentle in front of others, deep down, she was still an inexperienced girl.

Some words might go against the code of conduct for clergy, but sharing a joke or two privately wouldn’t attract a reprimand from the nuns.

Moreover, being one of Tia’s few friends, the young nun was genuinely worried about her icy, doll-like demeanor.

So, she often tossed out comments like these to try to stir Tia’s heart, hoping to evoke her humanity.

And honestly, who could blame her for being concerned?

If anyone had witnessed Tia praying to the goddess in the Saintess Prayer Hall, they would feel the same.

It was a sense of closeness, yet an unreachable distance.

And when she was bathed in moonlight, her entire presence turned chill and noble, her gaze devoid of the warmth that belonged to Tia, leaving onlookers thoroughly unnerved.

The young nun often felt that one day, the Tia who existed within this body might disappear completely.

No one knew what she would become then.

“…”

In response to the young nun’s teasing words, Tia said nothing.

After a moment of silence, she slowly crouched down to pick up the scattered books, discreetly hiding the ancient volume containing hypnosis markings.

At the same time, her mind was racing with the news the young nun had just shared.

She’d thought it would be a long time before she’d hear that name again.

Yet, just the next day, it appeared once more, haunting her like a ghost.

After spending a whole night recovering from fear and chaos, trying not to think about that guy, the young nun had merely uttered one sentence, and it reignited Tia’s painful memories.

Her heart was in a tempest.

Bershiman?

Why was that guy linked to the serial killer who committed dozens of murders in the Imperial Capital?!

It sounded like he had been at the crime scene and was taken in as a suspect.

But Tia knew that was impossible.

Even if you looked at the timeline, Lynn had been stuck at the border for over a year without a chance to commit such horrific murders in the Imperial Capital.

Not to mention, he had been with her all night last night.

Though they had gone through some indescribable things, Tia had no intention of denying it.

Wait a minute.

Recalling the young nun’s words, she suddenly realized she might have missed something.

“Louise, could you tell me again what happened back then?”

Tia whispered.

Hmm?

The nun named Louise looked at her as if she’d just heard the most outrageous idea.

You see, aside from her brother Xia, this Saintess had never shown curiosity towards anything, so her reaction was particularly strange to Louise.

She reached out and dusted off the books Tia had just picked up, then quietly said, “I only heard it from the believers who came to pray, so I don’t know if it’s true.”

“According to them, when he was apprehended, that guy was right at the crime scene and didn’t admit to or deny the murder charges.”

“Of course, the main reason they considered him a suspect was that when he was found, his chest was drenched in blood, and he had a wound that had already healed.”

“I mean, if it was just a regular noble banquet, why would he have those marks if he didn’t kill anyone?”

“Something must have gone down behind the scenes—he’s clearly hiding something!”

Louise seemed like a little genius as she pounded her palm, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Clearly, having spent too long in the church doing tedious, dull tasks, she was eager for the outside world and fascinated by sensational tales.

But this talk made Tia’s body stiffen.

A complex look crept onto her originally expressionless, beautiful face.

Perhaps, only she and he knew the truth behind it all.

That guy had merely wanted to die.

But she had rashly stopped him, leaving a scar on him. This had directly led to him getting caught and labeled as the mastermind behind the serial murders.

He was actually innocent.

But no one else knew this.

Thinking of this, Tia felt a chill run down her spine.

Or maybe it was just that he had been too prominent since returning to the Imperial Capital, and some people wanted to frame him with baseless charges to make him a scapegoat?!

If that was the case, wouldn’t he be in great danger?

Tia tightened her fists a little, trying to find some comfort or joy in her heart.

If Lynn died, all those inexplicable things between them would disappear as well.

Not only that, she would bury these matters in her heart forever, telling no one.

After that, the subtle rift that had recently developed with Brother Xia would completely vanish.

That should be a good outcome for her.

But after some soul-searching, Tia furrowed her brows slightly, feeling an unprecedented confusion.

!

Because deep down, she didn’t actually feel those emotions.

Moreover, a vague and unclear thought lingered in her heart.

After a really long time, she finally figured it out.

That feeling was guilt.

Because Lynn Bartleon was wrongfully accused.

This was something only she knew.

Clearly, at this moment, the silent Saintess’s hidden compassionate nature was surfacing.

Even in her eyes, the worst possible Lynn still deserved her sympathy.

Because some things are either right or wrong.

Meanwhile, seeing Tia lost in silence, Louise thought for a moment and spoke again, “There’s one more piece of news.”

“They say he’s currently at the Penalty Taker’s Prison, about to be interrogated.”

“And considering how extensive this serial murder case is—drawing in victims from the top three churches and the military—each sent a representative to investigate him.”

“Even our church is sending someone there; even if they don’t get any answers, at least it shows they’re taking a stand.”

“Regarding Sister Trina’s death and the desecration of her body, the church won’t let it slide easily.”

This statement sounded rather casual and quite ordinary.

But to Tia’s ears, it exploded like thunder!

What if that guy revealed everything that happened last night?!

The pure and noble Saintess had embraced a stranger she’d only met three times, even gifting him moonlight essence.

If such news spread across the Imperial Capital, she would probably face unprecedented punishment from the church!

Of course, that wasn’t even the main issue.

What if Brother Xia also found out about this?

Just the thought of that possibility drained the color from her face.

And the next second, Louise dropped the ultimate bomb: “Oh, and I heard that the interrogator sent from the military is apparently Xia Asolante.”

“Buzz!”

Tia’s little head short-circuited in that moment.

When Tia returned home, dazed, she found herself standing quietly in front of her dressing mirror.

Staring at the gorgeous girl in moon-white robes in the mirror, Tia instinctively pinched the fabric of her robe.

Then, slowly began to lift it.

Because she was wearing white silk stockings, her originally flawless skin was slightly concealed, only giving off a faint glow and a healthy, enticing hue.

Gazing at the emerald green Eye of the Mind mark at the top of her thigh, Tia remained silent for a long time.

Finally, the girl made a decision that went against the goddess’s commandments.

She would go visit the prison.

And she aimed to hypnotize him before things spiraled beyond repair, planting a suggestion in his mind.

Hoping everything wasn’t too late.

Tia took a deep breath, quietly removing her white silk stockings.

This was to minimize the fabric’s resistance, allowing her to complete the hypnosis in a flash.

(P.S: From now on, I’m changing the update schedule; it feels like my routine is completely wrecked and I can’t get it back. Starting today, I’ll post twice daily, once at noon and once at night. So, there will be another update today at noon.)

Score 8.4
Status: Ongoing Type: Author: Released: 2024 Native Language: Chinese
After transmigrating to another world, Lynn’s journey begins with being kidnapped. The culprit? The villainous princess from the original story, who plans to use him for hypnosis experiments to gain control over him. At the critical moment, Lynn has a stroke of genius—he fakes the success of her experiment and uses his acting skills to deceive her. But this is only a temporary fix, as the original story foretells a tragic ending for her and everyone around her. Thus begins Lynn’s double life: outwardly pretending to be under hypnosis, while secretly preparing to escape at any moment. However, things soon take an unexpected turn… Excerpts from “Princess’s Diary”: “The experiment succeeded!” “As the only successful subject, I’ve decided to keep him by my side.” “The curse mark on my face makes me hideous in the eyes of others, but he told me I’m beautiful.” “I’m happy because what people say under hypnosis is their true feelings.” “When we were alone, on a whim, I kissed him.” “The feeling was strange and made me lose composure, but fortunately, he won’t retain the memory after the hypnosis wears off.” “So, it’s fine to be a little bolder, right?”
