Chapter 364 -225 The Extremely Angry Bright Moon Goddess

“Greetings, Your Highness Hillena.”

“Ah, it’s Lady Belmont, good evening.”

Gazing at the noblewoman before her, dressed in her finery yet wearing a humble smile, Hillena did not rise but cracked a slight smile and nodded gently as a form of greeting.

Seeing this, the other party seemed flattered by the attention, and then, with slight discomfort, she took a seat next to Hillena with her young daughter in tow.

Though the woman hailed from a Marquis Family and her husband was one of the Empire’s councilors, her maternal family was weak, and she herself was a secondary wife to Marquis Belmont, hence she was not much regarded in the social circles of the Imperial Capital.

At this moment, the open-air auditorium, resembling a gladiatorial arena, was abuzz with activity. Many finely dressed guests roamed back and forth along the aisles, all noble dignitaries invited to this evening’s event.

Plucking any one of them from the crowd would reveal a towering figure capable of instilling fear in others.

Yet, here they were, assembled for the once-in-every-five-years Moonlight Holy Scripture to witness the miracle sent by the Bright Moon Goddess.

This would have been unimaginable under normal circumstances.

After all, the Silent Church was capable of producing the Moonlight Original Liquid.

For such a miraculous medicine that could reverse life and death, they would be more than eager to attain it, so how could they easily harbor ill will against these Church members?

And due to the subtle relationship with Tiya, Hillena was also in attendance at tonight’s Moonlight Holy Scripture.

Speaking of which, there was a time when that young girl unilaterally saw her as a rival in love and even harbored some hostility towards her.

Given the ambiguous relationship between herself and Xiya, it wasn’t surprising that the other party would think that way.

She, after all, had a fondness for that young Captain who once saved her in a desperate situation.

And if circumstances were right, she was not opposed to coming together with him.

With Xiya’s assistance, her advantages in the King’s election would become even more apparent.

So, Hillena sometimes found Tiya’s subtle hostility vexing.

The Saint Laurent Empire, in the end, still practiced monogamy.

Although most nobles had several mistresses in private, and their wives tended to turn a blind eye to such affairs, pursuing their own amusements, she, deeply influenced by the “Chronicles of Xino” since childhood, yearned for a pure and faithful love in the depths of her heart.

She fantasized about a day when a Hero-like glittering figure would gain the Holy Spirit Tree’s recognition and profess his love to her amidst universal attention, vowing to be united for life.

Perhaps she would be genuinely moved if that happened?

As Hillena thought this silently to herself, she maintained a sunny demeanor outwardly, seated in the highest place of honor arranged by the Silent Church, occasionally responding to advances from some high-ranking individuals.

Although she was not fond of such socializing, she was well-trained from a young age, showing no flaws on the surface.

In contrast, in a certain deserted area, Ivyst with her icy demeanor and lethal gaze, formed a sharp contrast with her sister.

The esteem in which they were held by the nobles was vastly different.

As for Ivyst, born with the Curse Mark on her face, people couldn’t wait to avoid her.

Clearly, they were still uncomfortable with the fact that Ivyst had also been invited and had come in person.

Compared to past Moonlight Holy Scriptures, the air tonight seemed to bear a hint of bloodlust.

Perceiving someone looking at her, Ivyst across the auditorium shot a knife-like glance in that direction.

After a brief exchange of gazes, she coldly diverted her eyes, devoid of any emotion.

Seeing this, Hillena felt somewhat resigned.

She had thought that after their late-night sisterly talk, their relationship might have improved somewhat.

But now, it seemed she had been overly optimistic.

Hillena sighed softly, then looked up at the sky.

The night sky, like a curtain of pitch black, was dotted with stars twinkling like diamonds, captivating the mind.

Besides, there was the perfect, blemish-free bright white moon hanging high in the sky like an exquisite jade plate, shining with a chilly silver light, invisibly bringing serene comfort to all.

Being outdoors, the auditorium provided every seat with the perfect angle to witness the miracle up close.

This privilege was reserved for the nobility and out of reach for the devotees of the “Silent” faith for their entire lives.

Wondering when the Holy Scripture would begin… Hillena mused silently, yet her thoughts drifted to another figure, unbidden.

Upon reflection, it seemed that Ivyst only began to change into how she was now, after meeting him at the frontier.

Though still inwardly twisted, as the eldest among nine siblings, and being a woman with delicate thoughts, she could occasionally sense a fleeting gentleness in her younger sister’s eyes these past days.

As to whom this gentleness was directed, it was quite evident.

Lynn Bartleion.

One could only wonder what kind of magic he possessed to have gradually influenced her to change in this way.

Not just her, even Tiya had intricate connections with him.

It was obvious enough.

If she made Xiya her goal, it would be inevitable to conflict and dispute with her over matters of the heart one day.
