Chapter 92:
Did you come to ask for permission? Or did you come to steal?
No.
Juliet smiled faintly and replied.
If you dont lend me this, I will expose everything that happened in the underground of the Papal court.
Archbishop, what does she mean?
The high priest asked in confusion, but Archbishop Gilliams face turned pale, understanding Juliets meaning.
Only then did they understand why Juliet had deliberately shown her face by lifting her veil.
Her intentions were clear.
Are you threatening the temple right now?
Yes, you heard correctly.
Archbishop Gilliam doubted his ears. He wasnt sure if he should admire her audacity or be shocked by it.
Certainly, what Juliet said was true.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
Events in Lucerne were only now being settled.
In such a situation, if the victim who suffered the most from Sebastian came forward, the Papal court would be powerless.
The Soulstone of Genovia had also become an ambiguous item for the Papal court to claim ownership.
Gilliam, glaring at Juliet with a stern face, pointed out her mistake.
Dont you think youre being too careless? Your threat will only work if you safely exit this place.
You sound like a villain, Archbishop.
Juliet, however, just smiled as if she didnt care.
Gilliam felt uneasy from Juliets strangely relaxed attitude.
If we just scream right now, the guards will rush in.
He was right.
Even if Juliet threatened to reveal the truth, that only worked if Juliet safely left the temple.
Well, I dont think that will be the case.
Juliet glanced suspiciously towards a window.
Both Archbishop Gilliam and the high priest followed her gaze.
But all they saw was a large clock.
What?
Ah, never mind.
Juliet said with a faint smile.
Then lets go outside for a revelation.
Juliet, clutching the box, quickly began to run towards some dark corner of the room.
?
Guards!
The flustered steward opened the door.
However, what greeted the high priest was a thick smoke pouring into the room.
Guards?
Oops.
Seeing the high priest fall instantly, Archbishop Gilliam realized the situation.
Sleeping gas!
Juliet hadnt tried to persuade them from the beginning. She was just buying time.
The high priest has collapsed!
It seemed they found two people collapsed in the storage room, and the temple began to stir.
Whats with the Archbishop?
Archbishop!
There was a commotion.
People spilled out of the building where the service was in full swing.
Oh
Juliet regained her senses from the noises coming from beyond the fence.
Um Wait a moment!
But the priestess who had helped her disappeared among the people rushing towards the central temple before Juliet could stop her.
Unable to chase after her, Juliet bit her lip lightly.
It was definitely Dahlia.

Thanks to the commotion inside, Juliet was able to get out safely without being noticed.
Juliet!
Roy, who had been waiting below the high outer wall, caught Juliet as she jumped down.
I was worried because you were late.
Roy remarked with a slight sigh. Juliet, who had been momentarily out of sorts, responded, regaining her focus.
Im sorry. I bumped into someone for a moment.
The Soulstone?
Juliet showed him the small box she was holding. The box containing the Soulstone made a soft clinking sound.
So thats the Soulstone.
Yes.
Can you break the curse with it?
Im not sure.
Juliet fiddled with the brilliant gem.
We can only hope.
Not knowing much about divine power, Juliet couldnt guarantee it would solve the issue.
But they said Genovias divine power is really amazing.
And even if she didnt know what kind of curse it was, an overwhelmingly powerful force might be able to shatter it like a barrier.
It would definitely be helpful.
Juliet sneaked a glance back at the temple she had just left.
Dahlia could use both magic and divine power.
It was said to be so exceptional that it defied the laws of this world.
Even though Juliet had innate magic, she felt insignificant compared to the girl blessed by the world.
Juliet?
Oh, Im sorry.
Juliet, recalling old memories, smiled faintly.
Now lets take this to the Duke.
Juliet said, glancing at Roy. Roy smiled lightly and extended his hand.
Lets go.
