Chapter 58 Priest (3)

Name:Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Author:


There was a moment of silence that followed as everyone was surprised by this sudden move by Baroness Rose.

But after that moment of silence, I patted her on the back without saying a thing.

That was because I was filled with guilt at this moment…

She most likely misunderstood why I took the locket in the first place…

After all, I didn't take it because I noticed the curse on it, I didn't take it because it was a demon item, I simply took it because…I had been jealous. I didn't think that the Lord Baron deserved to keep this item because of the way that he treated his wife, the woman who I had already taken as my own.

The two of us stayed there like that for a bit before Baroness Rose slowly moved away.

As she moved away, she was wiping away the few bits of tears that were left.

I was about to move forward to wipe them for her, but before I could, Cecilia came forward to take Baroness Rose away from me. The look on her face made it clear that it was her turn to comfort her.

I just revealed an awkward smile, but I didn't insist since I knew how close the two of them were.

After that, I turned to look at the priest who was patiently waiting for us to finish with our thing.

Seeing me look at him, the priest just revealed a gentle and kind smile before signalling for me to wait as well.

I gave a slight nod before waiting for the two women to gather themselves.

After a few more minutes, the two of them finally separated and sat there with calm looks on their faces. However, there was no hiding the swollenness and redness of their eyes.

Neither I nor the priest said anything about this.

Once he saw that they had calmed down, he reached his hand out towards Baroness Rose and asked, "Madame, if I may?"

Based on the reactions of these three, it wasn't hard for him to guess who had been cursed by the item. While he was surprised by this, he kept it in and just did what he needed to do.

Baroness Rose looked at this hand reached out towards her and then with a nod, she placed her hand in his hand.

There was a faint glow that appeared around the hand of the priest that spread across to Baroness Rose's hand. This faint glow wrapped around her hand for a bit before it faded away.

Once it faded, the priest gave a nod and said, "There's no problem at all. The curse has been completely dispelled."

After the priest said this, all of us let out a sigh of relief.

But then I couldn't help asking, "Father, do you know what kind of curse it was?"

The priest nodded at this and said, "It was a curse to fill one's heart with darkness. It would make a person more irrational and volatile until they blew themselves up. This is a dark curse that changes a person until they can't recognize themselves anymore."

I couldn't help nodding after I heard this.

After all, I had seen the darkness that had been inside of Baroness Rose when she had been cursed. It was that dark look that was in her eyes whenever we were alone…that look that was hidden between her normal expression.

It turned out that this was the result of a curse.

It was also no wonder I felt that she was a completely different person after coming back from the demon order manor.

It turned out that it was because she had been released from the curse that had been placed on her.

So the Rose that I knew now…was the real Rose.

The real her…was quite good.

After a moment of silence, the priest asked, "If I may ask, where did you find this demonic item? Do you know who the one to curse her lady is?"

I didn't answer this right away as I looked over at Baroness Rose.

Up to this point, the priest had shown that he was quite trustworthy, but…I couldn't make that decision on my own.

Baroness Rose knew what I was asking her, so she gave a nod in response.

Seeing this, I let out a sigh of relief before giving an appreciative nod back. Then I turned back to the priest and explained everything that had happened.

The priest had a calm look on his face as he listened to the story until he heard the part about the demons. As soon as he heard that there had been demons nearby, he pulled out a cross from his pocket and started praying while holding it up.

I was caught off guard when I saw this, but he also told me to continue the story.

So I finished telling him the rest of the story, though there were a few parts that were omitted…such as my involvement with the aphrodisiac incense.

Once he finished listening to the story, the priest suddenly said, "That evil Lord Baron, I never thought that he would be so depraved! He even plotted to harm his wife who he swore to protect in front of the lord and even went as far as cursing her! This kind of despicable person really is…"

The priest went on to give another sermon, but we let it go on for a bit since it did feel good hearing someone bash the Lord Baron like this.

But of course, he didn't show any signs of stopping, so I gave a cough to interrupt.

The priest was pulled out of his sermon and he gave an awkward cough when he saw us staring at him. He gave another cough to clear his throat before saying to Baroness Rose, "Madam, I promise that I and the clergy will do all that I can to help repel the monster wave. The evil actions of the demons will never be tolerated."

This was the main goal in telling the priest the story and it seemed that the gamble had paid off.

Baroness Rose gave an appreciative nod in response to this before patting the priest's hand.

The priest offered a prayer before turning to look at me again.

He narrowed his eyes as if he was looking for something special.

I couldn't help feeling awkward as I sat there under his gaze until I couldn't take it and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The priest didn't answer at first, but then he shook his head as he said, "It's not that something is wrong…It's just that I feel something special coming from you."

I couldn't help but tremble when I heard this.

This priest was a man of god and I was someone who reincarnated with a system from god…Could it be that he was able to detect this?

The priest shook his head again in the end and just offered a simple prayer to me before sending us off.

But as we were leaving, I couldn't help staring at the cross that was inside of his office…

As I looked closely at it, it was as if there was a bright light that appeared on it.
