Forgotten Juliete Chapter 77
The two of them held their breath until that strange noise from above passed.
Juliet asked about the noise that had been bothering her for a while.
“What is that sound?”
“It’s Sebastien’s surveillance dolls.”
“Surveillance dolls?”
“You’re lucky, Miss. You haven’t encountered those dolls yet?”
Hildegard laughed with apparent amusement.
Juliet was puzzled.
Sebastien’s dolls were so sophisticated that they could stand in for real people and even feign death. Why was it considered lucky that she hadn’t encountered them?
“You’ll see when you see them. It might be better not to see if you don’t want to have nightmares.”
“It’s not ‘Miss’. My name is Juliet.”
“Juliet. Understood.”
After introducing herself somewhat gruffly, Juliet sank deep into thought.
She had never heard or seen any such divine power.
“To create dolls identical to humans…”
Is such a thing even possible?
“Your Holiness, I have a question.”
“Hmm? Ask away.”
“You said you knew Genovia when they were young?”
“Yes.”
“What level of divine power did Genovia possess?”
“She was a natural-born genius. There’s no other way to explain it.”
Hildegard spoke with a tone dripping with nostalgia and longing.
It seemed Hildegard had been as fond of Genovia as Sebastien had been.
Juliet smirked teasingly.
“Even more than Your Holiness’s divine power?”
“Yes. While young ones can be unstable, their innate talents don’t diminish.”
“So was Sebastien also born with divine power like Genovia?”
At that question, Hildegard smiled ambiguously. She seemed to guess why Juliet was asking.
“Maybe. But as you know, Juliet, divine power often awakens later in life. It has different characteristics from magic.”
“If she died in a fire, Genovia’s body wouldn’t be left, right?”
“That’s correct.”
“I see. Understood.”
Juliet stood up and stretched her legs. Sitting for so long had made them stiff.
She had asked everything she needed to.
“Oh, just one more thing.”
Juliet rubbed her legs and continued.
“Don’t you want to leave here?”

“What’s going on?”
Sebastien hurriedly ascended to the surface.
“Ah, Your Holiness.”
The priests, who had been praying fervently, looked surprised upon seeing him.
