The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563: No More Than A Puppet (I)

Primrose felt as though her heart stopped beating the moment she saw the Captain of the Royal Knights.

It was Edmund.

It was her husband.

But the first thing she noticed was that he was nothing like the Edmund she knew. At this time, he smiled so much more freely, and his voice didn’t carry the same coldness she had grown used to.

He seemed like a completely different person, and yet, her soul recognized him immediately.

Despite the differences, he was still her beloved husband.

"Your Holiness," the Captain—Edmund—said at last, lowering his head as he carefully avoided looking directly into the Holy Saintess’s eyes. "I’m Captain Edmond. From this day forward, I will be personally responsible for your protection."

[This is ridiculous.]

Primrose froze inwardly. She hadn’t expected to hear Edmund’s inner thoughts as well.

Back when she had been watching her fragmented memories, she couldn’t hear anyone’s thoughts at all. But if she remembered correctly, it was because the person who had forced her to witness those memories had intentionally limited her ability.

Now, however, her power wasn’t being restricted.

So why could she only hear Edmund’s thoughts? Was it because their souls were connected?

More importantly, why did he think this situation was ridiculous?

Did he really think protecting the Saintess was such a foolish duty?

[How am I supposed to look away when she’s as beautiful as the first flowers blooming in spring?]

That...

That was such a specific compliment.

No wonder her husband in the current timeline could sometimes say things that sounded like poetry. It turned out that habit had been rooted in him for thousands of years.

"You don’t need to speak to the Saintess, Captain," the Cardinal reminded him. "I’ve already told her everything she needs to know about you."

Edmund pressed his lips together before giving a small nod.

"My apologies. I simply thought it would be more polite to introduce myself in person. I promise it won’t happen again."

[So many rules...] Edmund grumbled to himself.

[If she’s only allowed to speak when someone comes to confess their sins or with the people serving in the temple, wouldn’t that be incredibly boring?]

[I know the Saintess must remain pure, but... the rules in this temple are far too strict. Even the Saintess of the Moon Goddess can still speak freely with outsiders.]

To be honest, Primrose felt exactly the same.

She had spent the entire day praying in silence, and her lips were already itching to say something.

It was so boring!
