The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 566

Chapter 566: The Lonely Saintess (I)

The Captain had a bad feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out what it was, especially since the Temple Maiden had forbidden him from checking on the Saintess inside.

The Grand Duke of Vior was the first to leave the confession room. He didn’t even spare Edmund a glance, treating him as if he were nothing more than a dog.

A few moments later, the Saintess finally stepped out of the room. She had changed into a fresh robe, but she looked completely drained, as though she had gone through something far more exhausting than simply listening to someone’s confession.

"Your Holiness, is everything alright?" the Captain asked with concern.

[Did she really only listen to the Duke’s sins?]

[Why do I keep feeling like the Duke did something terrible to her?]

[I don’t like this feeling,] Edmund thought bitterly. [It makes me want to know everything about her.]

What feeling?

At that moment, Primrose realized that since the day they first met, he had always paid attention to her, not in a creepy way, but simply by watching her from afar.

In just a few days, he had learned exactly what time she woke up, when she went to bed, and could even tell whether she was having a good day or not.

To be honest, it was surprising, considering the Saintess rarely showed any emotion. But Primrose guessed that even in this timeline, Edmund had already recognized her as his mate.

His actions only made Primrose feel even sadder because he resembled her husband so much. He didn’t say much, but he always did his best to take care of her without expecting anything in return.

Returning to his question, the Saintess slowly nodded before giving him a faint smile. "Listening to the officials confess their sins is a very heavy burden," she said softly. Taking a slow breath, she added, "But I’ve gotten used to it."

[She doesn’t look like she’s gotten used to it at all.] Edmund thought, his suspicion only growing stronger. [What kind of sins did the Grand Duke confess to leave even the Saintess looking this exhausted?]

A moment later, the Saintess lowered her eyes, breaking eye contact with him. "I don’t have any more duties today," she said. "I’ll be returning to my chamber."

She added, "If you also wish to rest, you may ask another soldier to stand guard outside my bedroom for the rest of the day."

She said nothing else after that. Quietly, she walked past the Captain without any intention of telling him what the Grand Duke had done to her.

After all, no one could guarantee that the Captain wouldn’t do the same thing to her if he learned about the private confession.

The Saintess had asked the highest authority for help before—the King of Sorex—but instead of helping her, he became one of the nightmares that would probably never leave her mind for eternity.

Because of that, the Saintess had learned to stay silent. No matter how much pain she suffered, it was still better than creating even more nightmares for herself.

Even though this was only a fragment of the past, Primrose couldn’t stop the frustration building inside her.

The only thing she could do was watch the nightmare unfold before her, yet she couldn’t do anything to help the Saintess or save herself.
