Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Chapter 354: Chapter 221: Control the Demon, Rescue Tiya
 

Tiya, oh Tiya.

After all that has happened, after he ruthlessly exposed all the lies, throwing your dignity and face into the dirt to be trampled.

Why do you still think of him now?

In the dead of night, Tiya sat in front of the dressing table, lost in thought, staring at the mirror, her mind flooded with myriad thoughts.

At this moment, the girl in the mirror unconsciously combed through her loose chestnut hair that draped over her shoulders, her eyes slightly red as if she had just wept bitterly not long ago.

It has been quite some time since Xiya left angrily, and it is unknown what the situation is now.

She was scared that someone would suddenly come in, joyfully delivering some bad news.

The limb connector had been slain in the streets by Captain Xiya.

For some reason, even though she appeared calm on the surface, deep inside, she was truly afraid of hearing such news.

Even though she had hurt Xiya deeply, she still could not bring herself to be cruel to him.

It may be shameless to say this.

But when Xiya said outside the door that he wanted to kill Lynn, her heart clenched painfully.

Xiya was once the one she vowed to be with for life, yet today, she could no longer recall the thrills in her heart from those times.

No, don’t think about those unnecessary things.

The day after tomorrow is the Moonlight Holy Scripture, a major event of the Church that occurs every five years, where many congregants and Empire elites will come to witness the miracles of the Goddess.

As the Holy Maiden, it is a duty she cannot shirk.

Or rather, it is the notion that has been instilled in her by everyone around her since the day she was taken into the Church.

She is a servant of the Divine, a vessel for the will of the Bright Moon, her only purpose in life is to serve the Goddess.

Logically, she should have accepted such a fate peacefully.

But an unreasonable person entered the scene with a rascal’s aura, recklessly turning her life into chaos.

Even today, Tiya’s thoughts were still stuck on those days of desperate escape.

Although it was terrifying, it was an unforgettable experience.

There’s a phrase Lynn had mentioned during a casual meal.

“I could have endured the darkness, if I had not seen the light.”

It’s not that she started to despise the luxurious life she had always led, but the experiences of these days had made her question the Church she once revered.

The grand and glorious filter was thoroughly shattered; in the end, they seemed no different from those corrupt nobles.

Tiya’s hands trembled slightly.

At this moment, she had already put on the pure white nun’s robe prepared by the Church.

Unlike ordinary styles, this robe was to be worn for the Moonlight Holy Scripture; thus, it was luxurious, with gold threads embroidered at the collar and cuffs.

Wearing this robe, and with Tiya’s eyes slightly red, she looked just like a compassionate Goddess.

She slowly stood up, gazed at herself in the mirror, and then knelt gently on the ground as she had practiced countless times in the Holy Maiden’s hall, with hands clasped together, placed at her brow.

“You are the great and lofty Mother of Stars, the guiding light of the endless night, the Beauty God symbolizing a pure heart, and also…”

“I pray to you…”

“…”

Before she could finish the prayer, Tiya, who was preparing to rehearse for the ceremony the day after tomorrow, suddenly collapsed as if overwhelmed, burying her face in her palms.

In the end, she couldn’t lie to herself or ignore the strong impulses in her heart.

The next second, Tiya suddenly stood up.

If she had decided to do it, then hesitate no more.

That was also something he had said.

She knew clearly.

If at this crucial moment, she chose to follow the arrangements of the Church, she would regret it no matter what in the future.

It was a warning and a premonition from deep within her heart.

I have to… save him.

I’m sorry, Sister Gretel.

This might be the first time I am going against your will.

Without even changing out of her white nun’s robe, Tiya hurriedly picked up her Moonlight Scepter, then opened the window and, like an Elf darting through the treetops, lightly leapt out.

She had been everyone’s good girl all her life, only having rebelled once a few days ago.

But where there is a first, there will be a second.

Having crossed the line the first time makes the second time easier.

Recalling the secret pathway to the outside world within the Church that Louise once mentioned to her, the young girl pursed her lips.

No matter how gentle she appeared usually, when it came to protecting what she cared for, she would become strong.

Thinking this, she suddenly felt lighter on her feet, as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.

As for the future… who cares.

Just as this thought arose, the next second, a familiar voice suddenly rang lightly in Tiya’s ears.

A spine-chilling sensation swept through her body.

It was Sister Gretel’s voice.

“Where are you going?”

The next second, a multitude of candles flared up, surrounding her from all directions.

…

“Demon, I make a wish.”

With the vast darkness attacking from all directions, the youth’s voice seemed almost drowned out.

Like a small boat in a storm, he could be swallowed up by the beast-like tempest at any moment.
