Act 2

The Saint of Hypocrisy

Chapter 2-1 Saint? Evil?

'It's a success.'

Jewell thought to herself.

Once the Duke of Thorne was revived, it provided the most important turning point for the Duke of Garnet.

"F, father....! T, Thank God!"

The Duke of Thorn groaned quietly, perhaps to come to consciousness, and Count Lawton cried out to such a duke with a pale face.

Unlike the phrase "Thank God," he said, he had a blue face.

'Of course you're scared because you're the one who tried to kill the Duke Thorn. If the truth comes out, you'll be ruined.'

Thump. Thump.

Count Lawton's heart was heard in her ear.

Count Lawton also clearly conveyed the fear he felt because she had engraved the imprint of blood in him.

'It's still not enough.'

Juwell was thirsty. She wanted to feel a greater feeling of despair, like a blood-hungry demon.

Fortunately, Count Lawton wasn't the only one who gave her pleasure.

All enemies.

When they saw her Holy power, they contemplate about it and then it fade away. It was as if Estelle had returned alive.

The horror they felt was delivered to Juwell as it was through the 'imprint of blood'.

'It's so sweet just like this. How much fun will it be in the future?'

Juwell was looking forward to the screams they would make.

'Anyway, it's been successful in many ways. In front of the six dukes, she has established herself as a saint.'

Today's work will soon spread throughout the empire and she will be hailed as the new saint.

'Of course, there is no thought of killing her as a saint like in Estelle's time, but there is no reason not to use the existing power.'

Holy power was one of her weapons. It is a powerful weapon that can be used endlessly depending on the use. And she intended to use this power to become a demon disguised as an angel of light.

Then, several people flocked to her.

"Lady Juwell!"

"How on earth is your holy power just now?"

In no time, she was surrounded by people. The reaction was expected, Juwell said with a gentle smile.

"I think I was blessed by heaven while praying. I don't know exactly what happened."

"Aah!"

"Heavenly blessing! It is the birth of a new saint!"

People were amazed and cried out. Juwell smiled calmly and let people react on their own.

However, a heavy voice split between the people.

"Wait a minute! Everyone step back!"

".....!"

It was Juwell's father, Viscount Enrique.

"Father?"

He seemed to have a lot to ask, but he did something unexpected rather than pressuring Juwell.
