Chapter 345: Chapter 217 Xiya Brother, I’m Sorry to You_3
since that night, when I helped Lynn relieve his desires with my hands, Tiya no longer thought herself worthy of Xiya.
In the relatively conservative Saint Laurent Empire, once love is pledged, one must stay devoted for life without betrayal.
This is also mentioned in the teachings of the Bright Moon Goddess.
For Tiya, having lost her chastity, she had already violated these codes and promises.
Thus, when facing Xiya again, her heart indeed felt somewhat guilty.
“Tiya, I have good hearing, so I know you’re in the room… you might not want to see me now, but it’s okay, you don’t need to open the door, I’ll just say a few words and leave.”
Xiya said this, standing at the door.
If it were any other time, Tiya might have already opened the door and welcomed Xiya in.
But at this moment, she just pursed her lips, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, yet she had no thought of opening the door.
After a moment, Xiya began to speak.
“These days that the accursed beast took you away, you must have been very frightened, right? I apologize for not getting there in time, leading to everything that followed.”
He’s not the accursed beast, and I wasn’t scared… for some reason, Tiya subconsciously argued in her mind.
However, Xiya was unaware of her inner thoughts, and continued to say, “Regardless, I assure you, in no more than three days, I will personally arrest him and hang him on the gallows, to avenge you.”
Why is even brother Xiya so sure that he is the culprit?
Do you all even lack the basic ability to discern right from wrong?!
Or… are you merely trying to pin everything on him?
Recalling the Transcendents who died in the fire, clearly, behind the scenes someone is trying to erase Burshman’s traces, and completely pin it onto Lynn Bartleion, the limb connector.
A sense of unwarranted indignation surged within her, causing Tiya to subconsciously clench her fists tighter.
But she was not ready to have a face-to-face conversation with Xiya.
In this situation, silence was the only option.
Clearly knowing that they were only separated by a door, yet the door in front of her showed no intention of opening, causing Xiya to subconsciously clench his fists tighter.
Actually, before he came here, he had already lost his reason many times due to anger.
Ultimately, Hillena ordered him in a superior tone not to visit Tiya before the Moonlight Holy Scripture.
But he still came looking for her.
He thought he had adjusted his mind, keeping all the messy thoughts about “what on earth happened during those lost days” at bay, but as soon as he heard Tiya’s heartbeat speed up slightly, all sorts of emotions suddenly surged into his heart.
Doubt, frustration, anxiety, anger, sadness…
He clenched his fists, trying to make his voice sound as gentle as usual.
“Tiya, do you still remember that promise from before?”
Tiya was a bit stunned, standing there for several seconds before suddenly realizing.
He was referring to the promise about the Moonlight Holy Scripture.
She had promised him that after praying to the Goddess to lift the curse from her body, she would offer him her most precious thing as proof of their love.
Realizing this sent a bone-chilling shiver through her.
Why do I feel nauseous because of brother Xiya’s request?
Tiya bit her lower lip tightly, and her whole being felt somewhat numb.
If the previous Tiya was overcoming the curse-induced male revulsion to love him, then now, with that aura shattered, the girl’s most genuine reaction was displayed.
Whether attributing it all to the curse or maybe actually being disappointed in Xiya.
No matter how you sugarcoat it, disgust is disgust.
Tiya was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath.
Standing outside, Xiya then heard a familiar soft voice.
A hint of joy appeared on his face.
But upon clearly hearing those words, his entire being froze, his face rigid.
“Brother Xiya, I’m sorry to you… but let’s not talk about this matter anymore.”
