I couldn’t help but make a9d06af273 a strange expression as I 2d6f12c9d0 watched Melissa, her face flushed 984f2a198e with embarrassment, apologize, and the 8844b6445a Duke casually brushing it off.82a4bfb4853be7b7

I glanced at Melissa, 6e9a0f6df9 who had seemed oddly a4f807cac5 flustered ever since she b48b5c004c entered the dining hall.955fa90d9399c3cc

When our eyes 362f87c4a9 met, Melissa fidgeted 1c6e29aaf7 nervously, her fingers 802b6d2a81 curling and uncurling 64f419acbb as she touched deb37666f6 her cheeks. Anyone could see she 19746d8148 looked like a girl 374bfe768b experiencing her first love.4fe0c4ab35e8c00e

‘She must be excited about meeting Damian today.’eda0c4662c1e719b

That’s right. The object of Melissa’s 64799c3f5f unrequited love—currently causing her 7ac749ee4c heartache—was none other than 504f4e6acc Damian, the High Priest 63ba0ab89a of the Elios Empire, cc0531d582 and the last male 9a62c85429 protagonist in this novel, 0642cf09c8 following the Crown Prince 33ebe8e4f6 and Richard.56a38ea8b22ecc40

But Damian, who had facbd09c2a vowed to dedicate everything 0c2535f548 to his god, was 2c56ca7a24 akin to a doomed 1cf757267a investment.14c2491006251ef4

So, most readers 6115f40431 were divided between 42421671b9 supporting the Crown ccdd6708fc Prince and Richard. Still, there were a 5f219dc007 few who rooted for 0a98d0dc6d this forbidden relationship, reasoning, c63c89cc9d “First love is unbeatable,” 46c7789fbb or “It’s romantic that 9177f0fbb3 he’s a priest.”fe28b7b5babf3c70

At least Damian, outwardly 436b940e8e kind and approachable, seemed c560aee075 better than the arrogant 9b6c0de1d6 Crown Prince or the f0b8b94cf3 unreadable Richard.ab67ade4fdfc5c42

The key word db5be681ea here, however, was 96b8b0b052 “outwardly.”659788a7e0d5e71c

Damian’s noble appearance and gentle 992614d604 demeanor concealed a rigid and c29c891957 uncompromising inner nature.9dbc4ebcb04afc12

When Melissa, unable 5c40297f03 to contain her c77149713a feelings, confessed her cdc828252d love, Damian had 7d8d685c9e rejected her coldly c626a92a1f and decisively.768938f925938cb2

Still, whether it was because ca9c053857 I had already embraced Melissa a81b2b2a14 as my sister, or because 19dee4b607 I knew better than anyone c2634b0808 how hard it was to f73142840b give up on something you ed78911b73 loved, I couldn’t help but 7052a6227f feel Damian’s reaction was cruel.b9791562e19952dd

Unlike me—who no longer eec17e871a pined for fictional characters d02c62d776 and even had the 9dac18a8d0 luck to marry my 6f7b11cc9e favorite—Melissa would likely continue c57a3526b2 her painful unrequited love 0ed8055cff for a while.fb90aed03b9e59fc

Just as I e1cbdcff7c turned my gaze 688198b76e away out of b473748fe3 pity for her, 5bb11d2731 the Duke spoke.f4d71968571ded0f

“Indeed, receiving the High Priest’s blessing is far better than having a thousand, ten thousand guests come to celebrate.”e48682bb8e1b52b7

Still dissatisfied about ed05c7c92c not being able eea32af5fd to host a a8034d7825 grand and extravagant 6cfc7c45ba wedding, the Duke e1678ecdd2 said this as 8568212e30 if to finally 27fe1b6ebb rid himself of ba4d53fcdd regret.6ee7cf5c9c0109a0

The Duke claimed that 40f9d69788 a blessing from one d926bbc986 High Priest was worth 5ed6172f50 more than congratulations from efd23e44b7 thousands. Damian, who possessed 6e94cd5514 such powerful divine fcc060a9fd energy that he 86fa9ea175 had been appointed be8a28913b High Priest at 09e055bddc the young age 50dd1b66e5 of twenty-four, was b194a902c2 indeed a remarkable 409b636963 figure.37973aa87bc860ad

After all, by marrying Euclid, d0a9c33de6 Evgenia—infamous for her scandals and 68af1637a2 notoriety—would bring unnecessary noise into 8d78aa6ab4 his life. That much was clear.c78aa2f03a2fd85d
