Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 1013 Everyone is acting

When Alexis interacts with Lori, she tries to choose normal working hours and suppress her emotions.

Therefore, there are some things that the Lord of the Tower does not know.

She can reveal everything about herself to the Lord of the Tower without reservation.

But Lowry has no such obligation.

Fortunately, the Tower Lord doesn't care about the trivial matters in Montes Castle. Unless she's in a bad mood, she won't pay attention to her when she has other things to do.

As for Agris... the Lord of the Tower acknowledges her character, but will never accept a believer like her.

In many ways, Aggris is very much like a storm... free, unrestrained, and stubborn. Even if he hits a wall, he won't force his way through it, but he will try to climb over it.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Tower Lord's preferences.

Occasionally, the Lord of the Tower would see a few of Aagris's decisions made through her, and he would complain about them for three days straight.

But the Tower Lord also admitted that if she hadn't suffered those misfortunes, she would probably be another Aegris.

After all, she was stubborn to the point of being extreme.

Alexandra understood, so she would never allow Alexandra to become another version of herself.

Instead, she always hoped that, if given the chance, she could follow in the footsteps of Yagris.

Therefore, she couldn't be like Agnes and completely treat her child as a tool... Even if she had to do something, she would choose someone with whom she had mutual affection.

Even if she only has a tiny bit of affection, her child will definitely have a chance to be happy.

At least we don't need to be like those two kids across the street...

Perhaps it was because she was about to give birth, but even Alexis's usually cold heart was slightly shaken, and she suddenly opened the door and went out.

"Luciano, who is talking to you? How can you be so rude? Don't you know where you are?!" she said angrily. "How dare you disturb a pregnant woman's afternoon nap! You're inhuman!"

The Goddess of the Night hasn't left Emilia City yet!

"How dare anyone break down the door of the Laurel Church?"

Archbishop Bran Garrett, who had been arguing with Luciano, quickly shut his mouth, a chill running down his spine: How could an outsider have appeared?

He knew, of course, that he had come to Antirochus too late.

But according to the rules, even if Antirochus had other intentions, he should have informed his biological father... Bran Garrett did not believe that the Church of the Night did not know that this was his son.

The Church of the Earth and the Church of the Night have maintained a long-standing friendship, especially their close cooperation on the Emilia Highlands... Although some things may require compromise from our own people, we must still be patient for the sake of the greater good.

Over the years, hasn't the Earth Church endured a lot of grievances?

The Night Cult members in Emilia City often recruit qualified women from their families to join the Night Cult, or even to become nuns in the Laurel Church!
They didn't say much either!

Bran Garrett didn't necessarily want his unexpected son to obey him or return to the Earth Church, but he wanted him to at least have some sense of propriety so that he wouldn't become a laughingstock.

His arrogant appearance here today, arguing loudly with Luciano, wasn't because he really wanted to do anything to the child; he just wanted to save face.

Of course, he knew that such behavior might not be good for Antiochus, so he was also prepared to provide the child with living expenses.

The living expenses prepared according to the Garrett family standard were enough for him and his half-sister to live comfortably for a hundred years.

He had actually hinted at this to Luciano during their conversation... Garrett knew that Luciano, who was always willing to help the weak, would willingly accept his 'performance'.

He has already made many concessions; otherwise, he could have gone to the palace to negotiate with Queen Louise.

Some things can only be done in secret; they must never be done openly to disrupt the balance between the two churches.

Antirochus stayed at the Golden Maple Inn, so Louis must have known about his lineage long ago.

However, Queen Louise did not warn him at all that day when they were on the terrace overseeing the maze and the city of Emilia!

Garrett was genuinely trying to help!

As a result, all I got in return was two days of frenzied ridicule.

The criticism Luciano is receiving now is something he and his mother deserve!

He even chose Laurel Street, where only the most devout believers of the Dark Night would gather, to have this fight!

Why did a stranger suddenly appear to stand up for justice?

Bran Garrett looked at Luciano with a puzzled expression: "Your Majesty, you've even rented out apartments near the Laurel Chapel?"

Who is it... with such wealth and status?

Luciano didn't want to answer him; he just felt a headache coming on. Based on his understanding of Alexandra, while the woman was straightforward, she didn't really like meddling in other people's business.

However, this is understandable.

Of course, he hadn't originally planned to confront Bishop Garrett here... the Golden Maple Hotel was the intended place for their exchange.

It was just giving Bishop Garrett a way out, and he was willing to do so.

After all, the reason this matter got out was because their Dark Night Church made a mistake.

Even though they have tried their best to eliminate the followers that Rainwater left in the church, some of them are too well hidden and have not taken any action for decades, making them really difficult to catch.

Moreover, these people may not even know that they have another identity... The Goddess of Rain is very good at hiding her specially made raindrops in the souls of humans, and when needed, she can directly control their actions through these raindrops.

Of course, the raindrops' control isn't actually that scary. People with strong enough willpower who have never thought of doing bad things can actually get through it... After that, they will never be controlled again.

This is also why the Church of the Night, even knowing the methods of the Goddess of Rain, could not pursue the matter further.

We can't just lock up everyone who's been in contact with rainwater, can we?
This is an absolute insult to those who have a devout faith in the goddess of the night... otherwise, how could they not resist the temptation of the rain?
Most importantly, back then, when the Goddess of Night arranged for the Goddess of Rain to enter her main temple, I don't know what she was thinking, but she actually made her a proper elder!
Those are the people who are responsible for receiving believers from all over the world!

Besides, with such a status, she could easily wander around the main temple.

The Church of the Dark Night can at most identify some of its corrupted followers by having them pray in church and test their faith before the statues. No one can be sure exactly how many followers have had contact with the Goddess of Rain.

Heaven knows why their Emilia Church has one, who is even an assistant nun to the bishop... someone who helps the Night High Priest with his daily work.

When the High Priestess of the Night talks to Queen Louise about the labyrinth, she certainly won't avoid mentioning it.

Antirochus's sister Euphemia, on the other hand, was properly marked with the mark of the night... The goddess favored her and chose her to become a Dark Moon.

My profession is still that of a night stalker.

This, in a way, is the future Night Priest.

They were bound to discuss things related to Euphemia, and the matter of Antirochus, the Son of the Sun, would naturally come up.

For some reason, the Goddess of Rain thought this matter could be used to sow discord between the Church of the Dark Night and the Church of the Earth, so she had the nun who was assisting her reveal it.

When did the Church of the Dark Night and the Church of the Earth become on good terms?
Neither of them actually liked the other.

However, the relationship between the Goddess of Night and the Lord of the Earth is clearly inseparable.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Earth Church often doesn't listen to the Lord of the Earth; it's because they understand His tolerant nature.

Although they were jumping around happily, the Earth Lord's baseline was quite flexible!

But if that bottom line is really crossed, do you think the Lord of the Earth will continue to be tolerant?

It wasn't that there weren't any Earth Believers who disgusted him; the Earth Lord's actions seemed very kind to outsiders... except that he deprived that person of all the benefits they had gained from the Earth.

However, what believers in the earth receive from the earth is not only physical strength, but also intellectual progress and even the favor of nature.

After all of these are taken back, how many days will he have left to live?
Especially the naturalist.

Moreover, what's most terrifying is that this deprivation is based on bloodline... meaning that his descendants will also perish at the same time.

Furthermore, a believer capable of provoking the Lord of the Earth must be quite powerful.

That also means he must have a lot of enemies.

The several reports of the Earth Lord's wrath were all due to people's disrespect for certain gods.

The gods never cared about human criticism or even curses; their majesty was never above the subservience of mortals.

Therefore, anything that can be deemed 'disrespectful' by the gods must be...

Anyway, the people in the Dark Night Church aren't stupid enough to need to know the specifics.

As for the followers of the night, they would naturally obey all the will of the goddess of the night.

She loves her brothers, and the followers of the night will respect these gods.

But what does this have to do with the church of God?
Even now, the Goddess of Rain still can't understand the complexities of human relationships?
If the Goddess of Night and the Lord of Earth were to turn against each other, no matter how close their relationship was before, even if they were husband and wife or father and son, they would immediately draw their swords against each other.

But as long as the relationship between the two remains stable, even if Luciano only wants to slap Garrett twice, he will choose to handle things properly so that everyone can save face.

Therefore, the farce orchestrated by the Goddess of Rain was merely forcing both sides to put on a show that everyone knew the truth.

The only thing that displeased Luciano was that Bishop Garrett insisted on staging this scene in front of the Laurel Church, right in front of Antiochus's house.

However, he had no choice but to cooperate, since he was in the wrong.
