824: Chapter 316 Spoil Him_3 824: Chapter 316 Spoil Him_3 The little girl was still calm and composed; as her teacher, she couldn’t afford to be flustered at every turn.
She needed to stay steady; perhaps the Moonlight Knight was spouting nonsense.
“I told you so.”
Wayne sighed and shook his head, taking the initiative to admit his fault: “They are all good won, I coveted their beauty, and so I deceived them by hiding things from each other.”
Bang!
“Wayne, you’ve completely disgraced our Moonlight Church,” Dreyne accused loudly.
“Yes, the disgrace is truly there, but that person isn’t .
She’s right in this room, I hope she knows it,” Wayne said, speechless.
To call him a scoundrel, he admitted, for it was the truth, but to say he had tarnished the reputation of the Moonlight Church, that was a gross injustice.
At least, when he lost at cards, he didn’t flip the table, let alone pawn the Divine Artifact.
“Hehe, you still try to quibble even now.
Today, I’ll let the victims speak their minds,” Dreyne declared grandly, gesturing to the two victims to speak freely and voice their grievances.
Chris gave Wayne a disdainful look and said: “Knight Lord, I have no grievances.
I failed to properly protect the God-chosen Knight of the future of the Moonlight Church, and that was my fault.
Even if there are grievances, I brought them upon myself.”
You just spoil him!
You’ll bury yourself at this rate!
Thinking it dull, Dreyne turned his gaze to Philona, whose judgnt of character was very accurate.
He imdiately saw that Philona was proud and possessive, qualities that Chris might tolerate, but Philona surely could not.
Hurry, give Wayne a piece of your mind.
Under Dreyne’s expectant gaze, Philona just humd lightly, then there was no further comnt.
“Can you really bear all this?”
Dreyne’s eyes widened, and pointing at Wayne he said: “This bastard is two-timing, having both of you at once, why don’t you speak up, say sothing, I’ll support you.”
Chris: You’re an outsider.
Philona: Family matters aren’t for you to laugh at!
Moved, Wayne looked at his two sensible ‘wings’.
What is private stays private, and what is public is public, maintaining his dignity in front of others—that’s the mark of a great lady!
Bringing up old stories, no matter if they had committed great sins in their past lives, by eting him in this life, they had paid their dues.
Dreyne went on with his sweet talk, patting his chest and promising to stand up for the two won, but in the end, he got nothing and incredulously returned to his seat, puzzled: “What exactly are you two thinking?
Once I leave, he will only get worse, and then there’ll be no one to stand up for you.”
Philona said languidly: “Lord Dreyne, Wayne is the Knight chosen by the Goddess herself, as a mber of the Church, it is my honor to serve the Moonlight Knight.
I have no right to contradict the Goddess’s choice.”
Her acidic words were filled with resentnt, and Dreyne, scratching his head, confusedly said: “What do you an, you think I’m opposing the Goddess?”
Am I being sarcastic because I’m here to help, and now you won’t be able to sneak around behind the scenes as before?
Bah, how has the Church co to this!
Dreyne thought it all so drab, it wasn’t interesting at all, and with a wave of his hand, he asked to continue the card ga.
While Wayne was collecting the chips, he asked, “Earlier when you ntioned the rebellion, you brought up Anastasia.
Has she co to Lundan as well?”
“Hmm.”
Wayne picked up the chips from the floor and redistributed them, saying: “The Dark Church is planning to develop its followers in Windsor, choosing Lundan as its regional headquarters just like the Moonlight Church.
Anastasia is the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church.
Her actions must be arranged by the Church headquarters, or perhaps they are in accordance with the wishes of the Dark Goddess.”
“Not necessarily, I rember during that ti, you two were constantly together.
She must have co looking for you,” Dreyne attempted to sling mud.
Wayne rolled his eyes, he knew Dreyne would take the opportunity to fra him, even though it was actually the truth, but he couldn’t let soone be wronged without evidence.
He calmly countered: “Impossible, Anastasia is the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church; for whatever reason, she must remain pure.”
Dreyne curled his lip, seeing that Wayne was unshaken, and turned to the two victims, earnestly saying: “Anastasia is the finest Holy Maiden of the Dark Church, whether it’s her character or her looks, she stands out among all the Holy Maidens.
You should be careful, with her intervention, Wayne will hardly escape the clutches of Darkness.”
Philona and Chris frowned at the sa ti, it seed from the Moonlight Knight’s words that he had a certain admiration for the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church.
That shouldn’t be the case, with light and darkness in opposition, why would the Moonlight Knight lavish such praise on an enemy?
Was there sothing more to it?
Both won turned their gaze to Wayne, who shook his head slightly, indicating they could discuss any issues slowly that night.
The three shared silent communication, leaving Dreyne outside of the loop.
Suddenly he banged on the table: “What are you doing, are you signaling each other in secret?
No wonder I’ve been losing, you must be cheating.”
With that, he went to call over Anastasia, who in all of Lundan was the only one in whose character he trusted.
…
The scene shifts to the High Priest Manor.
Twin bodyguards stood at the gate while inside the room, four won and one man were accompanied by the constant sound of slapping.
Since it was the God-chosen Knight, you can imagine, they were playing cards.
Under Dreyne’s insistent demand, Anastasia had to rush to the card ga, and the mont the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church showed her true face, Chris covered hers with a hand.
Such a stunning beauty, why are these older won each more beautiful than the last?
In other words, at your ages, why so beautiful?
Don’t you leave any room for the young?
