DSMBL Chapter 02

Chapter 29ef7e79fe6e55b57

It was a 4947f268a0 world where divine 8f6c09138b power was drying fb82eb145e up. As a result, c41c8cbc2e the temples became 16e58bb53c weakened, and the 42b9a38312 number of those 5383c0625e seeking divine power 5276b3e50f decreased.b520397d0170d159

Using divine power a7c013c6d1 came with side 34c1ca85e1 effects—your life force c386f6e423 would drain away 8156f53beb along with it. Yet the temples a68ad929e3 hid this fact 57c840861c and sold divine 645a2eb114 power for profit, 4b1042ba9a exploiting their priests a9a70c6036 until they all e46c9f296a lost their lives. Because of cad59da2a1 this, it 65a963139b became common 20e140c94c for people 8948cefc42 born with 6cd8632c3e divine power be5dcd8f14 to hide 3446b9753a it. Charlotte was 97e115e0e6 no exception.bf00b93efd397ebb

I discovered Charlotte possessed 6eaec2a57e divine power only because 5398cee3aa of a comment she d1ce32c649 made right before her fd4eb53c2a death.f63a87978afb284b

“I have divine power, yet I can’t even save my own life. Damn it!”f1f359c2867d4395

Using divine power meant 5cfe779990 slicing away pieces of 46d0c6b0cb your life, so it 6413350add was certainly dangerous. But it was ab8367ef80 still better than 16385a3ed9 being cast out 5e556c3963 and dying on f9ab9eebe7 the streets. Besides, it wasn’t dcb2cf9a84 as if it 584cc99f02 would kill you 975aad47dd instantly. To reach that point, eaf9804f49 you’d have to continuously fe4b471d9a use divine power without d1c67671b8 stopping.cd3b81b5bcc8bef8

Charlotte and Cassius had f7ea31ea6d entered into a political d60c79e231 marriage.ac07cd14989c2724

Cassius had d28d835203 been polite ea48c670b2 to Charlotte, 9619aa3d92 thinking it 9358fa1c51 must have 8e9c396f4b been difficult fd95e9d8e9 for someone 850e7c553a from the 1fee1517be capital to a03a38e5c9 adjust to 269776b65d the remote d56eb9e050 northern lands. So, at 67fab6cb1a the beginning a19b2294aa of their a6a2931333 marriage, he 78b7f79ee8 had made 07a4943146 an effort a5fe2a4541 to treat c4cd2c0cc4 her well. He had fulfilled his 927233c0ed duties as required by 3441fb0269 their arranged marriage. But Charlotte wanted ac8903bfe5 more. She was greedy, 4ed117d6a3 and she wanted 8c0a58a044 to have Cassius’s dd20200441 heart.4da372a65e45ca63

However, just like 041c32f7b0 how human hearts 723392cf02 don’t change easily, 3e1262cdbe Cassius’s heart doesn’t 8366323cae move that easily. Even though 110f73673e he tried, ef35dd6f11 it was 70a277dae3 all in 03f9825801 vain. Charlotte quickly cbe3cc090a realized that.9b2bf7fd8ba8fcdc

Still, Cassius c910121e24 had not ae1bc1b669 betrayed the 73bd1904c3 sacred bond 6ed304658f of their 5b27102e5b marriage. The truth fc8f9df7e6 was that 1ccf54bb5b Charlotte could 8ca42ab095 not accept d5a9b737dd the reality 62abcb3764 that Cassius 5894fb6a07 didn’t love 91b065b0d3 her.0eda7a258a3a4d4d

It had been 36c274a61f six months since 3d431b98a0 Cassius married to 8ceea023d9 Charlotte. The marriage had 022e458df3 been arranged to 9839c52970 meet the needs 674aac07cf of both families. Charlotte’s father needed 045a44fb4d money to expand 7cd1cfb17f his business, and 290bcc51e4 Cassius needed a 4788b35fdd wife. On top 45f1f5d292 of that, 29b8ed5f2f this engagement bb8922c876 was arranged d8eef5638d by their dd43675b48 grandfathers when b24b055334 they were d999d554ae children.6aff9c27f78e7bc9

The Duchy of 04fb3cdeee Artesia was in 2aa9803a6c a very unstable 9e0a74b700 situation. There were 68cfb8d0e8 only two 09ba7d0880 direct heirs, db29b0c9f5 and one f019e0fb81 of them 12dfad0ecf was very d7cefdedd4 sick, so 9c594697fc it wouldn’t 0b04b32370 be surprising 42b8d3f466 if they ff3b426e6e passed at 4f3cf74e46 any moment.9949d351231b50e7

Artesia, as a 13cc3ace80 symbol of the 594d464751 empire’s strength, could b23429783f not afford to 6668830ea6 crumble. The family de62d97cee also had 2a69411d53 the authority be1a3019f0 to command b2a870efad troops, so 65bc6caa9e a healthy 1e8c3d6bff heir was d9d7fb241a crucial.

He never 12273a7d2c planned to 9896b4ad7a have a 1b1409cde0 bastard child 722e627c50 or make 4d621366c3 it a e49146d733 part of b0b42a6f3d Charlotte’s life.
