Chapter 577: KARMA
"Are you sure I'm not the only one who is helping you out?" As bold as he was, Ovior questioned him back.
The Crown Prince let out a laugh. "You are as sly as you were ever. Fine, I'll take care of this. I'll leave the rest of the problem to you."
"Thank you, Your Highness," Ovior slightly bowed to him.
"As for the other issue I wanted to talk to you about..." Crown Prince Louis started, "Have you heard the news about Utahill these days?"
Ovior didn't blink nor did he change his expression. "News of Utahill... I didn't hear anything. What happened there?" He had been so busy organising his wedding that he didn't have time to pay attention to anything else.
"I heard that their High Priest has died and a new High Priest came to the temple. He changed some rules. People who went to the temple to get healed have been kicked out. No commoners could get treatment from the blessed child anymore. You know how many of your people go to Utahill to get healed because they can't afford the healing stones, I heard complaints from them."
As the Crown Prince described the situation of Utahill, Ovior frowned. He didn't expect things to escalate in the worst possible way in Utahill. "Only the commoners are being kicked out of the temple?" he asked.
"That's right. The nobles and the rich merchants are getting all the attention since they are paying a hefty sum of money. Otherwise, they would be kicked out as well," the Crown Prince scoffed.
Ovior frowned. He was in deep thought. He wasn't sure of how Veronica would react if she heard it. She spoke highly of the High Priest. She liked him very much. She would be heartbroken if she heard the news.
Moreover, the blessed child was disregarding the common people. It wouldn't set well with Veronica. Nonetheless, she didn't want that position. She said it clearly last time that she wanted to be free and roam around the world. She didn't want to be tied in the temple of the palace for the rest of her life by following her duties.
The next day, Ovior heard the news, bought a bouquet Dorothy liked and gave it to her as a surprise gift. Dorothy smiled brightly as she accepted the bouquet.
As she hugged him, Ovior planted a soft kiss on top of her head. He said, "From now on, you have nothing to worry about. You will never meet your family. I made sure of it."
Dorothy was surprised. She looked at him and asked, "What did you do?"
"I simply asked the Crown Prince to move them to the countryside since your brother committed a crime. Due to my plea, the Crown Prince didn't punish them. He just accepted my request and sent them to the countryside. From now on, you will never have to be afraid of meeting them. You can go around the town whenever you want or attend any party without worrying too much."
Ovior's answer made her wonder about her family at first, nonetheless, she was happy that her family was able to get away from the punishment and she wouldn't have to face them ever
again.
"You did a lot for me. Thank you, Ovior."
"Anything for my love."
Dorothy blushed at his words. She poked his firm chest and mumbled, "You tease me too
much."
Ovior's heart melted from her comment. He couldn't help but kiss her lips.
While the two of them were drowning in romance, Arthur was looking at the paper in his hand with a frown.
