Chapter 67: Chapter 57: Is Augustus the Mastermind Behind the Scenes? (5000-word Mega Chapter, Request for Monthly Tickets)_3

Augustus glanced unintentionally over Rose Vesper and surmised in his heart the truth of the matter, but he did not puncture the delicate veil of pretense. Instead, he feigned a bit of astonishment, "Such a thing happened? Then what ensued?"

"Two nuns produced a pink Medicine and hoped Angelica would add the Magic Potion to my food; they seemed intent on manipulating my consciousness with that kind of witchcraft."

"Even after enduring the cruel torment, Angelica still refused to comply. Frustrated, they took out a Mental-type Conscious Manipulation scroll, hoping to turn Angelica into a puppet under their control."

Rose Vesper’s eyelids drooped in silence.

"Angelica did not wish to become their tool to manipulate me and was preparing to commit suicide..."

"How did Miss Angelica survive then?" Augustus asked with some perplexity.

"Because a mysterious figure appeared and saved Angelica."

"A mysterious figure?" Rose Vesper’s eyes narrowed slightly, "What sort of person is this mysterious savior?" We must express our gratitude, for without them, the Hero’s Maid would have been killed."

Qin Chu spread his hands, "Angelica did not see the person’s face clearly, as they were wearing a robe. However, from the voice, it seemed to be an elderly man, and his Class should be that of a warrior, relying solely on his fists to easily slay the two nuns."

Qin Chu deliberately gave some chaotic clues to sow division between Rose Vesper and Augustus.

He was certain Rose Vesper would imagine all sorts of things based on these muddled clues.

As expected, Rose Vesper said nothing further, only frowning deeply with a solemn expression.

The one who killed the nuns couldn’t have been Qin Chu since he hadn’t left the palace, and Qin Chu didn’t have the power to overcome Maggie and Sana.

Wearing a robe obviously served to conceal their true identity.

An elderly voice... An old man?

Augustus was the old man, right? Although he was only just fifty, his body looked far older, maybe sixty or seventy, from delving too deeply into magic research.

Yet Augustus was a Magician, but the perpetrator who killed Sana and Maggie used brute force...

With the Level and power of Augustus, even just with a scepter, he could have easily crushed Sana and Maggie.

It might just be a disguise from Augustus!

That’s how people are; once they convince themselves of something, all their subconscious thoughts are drawn to it, reinforcing their inner conjectures.

These things must have been done by Augustus.

The Pope not only stripped his own room of all its treasures but even killed Maggie and Sana.

His motive was clear, as well: he didn’t want me to control Qin Chu.

He even intended to replace me with Angelica in the position of the Holy Daughter.

Angelica described the nuns in black as wearing red, surely under the influence of Augustus. Next, Augustus would undoubtedly offer the secrecy of the Hero as a condition to conveniently lift the Prohibition around Angelica’s neck...

Augustus spoke with a serious tone, "I’m sorry, Mr. Brave, but those two red-robed nuns may not belong to the Holy Court. It is very likely an impersonation by someone else. However, I’d ask that you don’t spread word of this incident..."

After all, if the story got out, it would tarnish the Holy Court’s reputation. Qin Chu readily nodded in agreement.

"Miss Angelica, prefering suicide to harming Mr. Brave, sufficiently proves her absolute loyalty to Mr. Brave. Given that, I shall now remove the Prohibition for Miss Angelica..." Augustus declared.

See, I knew it!

With an inward sneer, Rose Vesper was positive she had guessed everything correctly.

The next move in Augustus’s plan must be to rehabilitate Angelica’s reputation, expose my scandal, and then pull me down from the Holy Daughter’s position. This despicable scoundrel will not have his way.

At that moment, Rose Vesper had no doubts left. Augustus was the man behind the curtain!

Poor Pope, he didn’t realize he had just unwittingly shouldered a grave accusation.

Augustus stood and walked over to Angelica, who also promptly stood up with her cheeks flushed with excitement.

The Prohibition had restrained her for many years.

Finally about to be freed, she could help her master in ways other than just serving him.

Augustus’s withered fingers reached out towards the black collar.

Boom... Rumble...

At that moment, a roar like an earthquake erupted from the gates of the Holy Court.

Even within the church, one could feel the violent quaking underfoot.

Simultaneously, a burning Energy swept through the place like a tsunami, accompanied by the cracking of walls, as cracks rapidly emerged.

The Crimson Valkyrie had arrived!
