Chapter 339: Chapter 215: He Took It All For You_2
“Additionally, remember… remember not to harm it.”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor and Aphia exchanged glances before nodding: “Understood, Your Highness.”
Only after they left Ivyst’s room did Eleanor gradually relax.
“Right, let’s give it a name.”
“Hey, it seems to be a little female dog!”
“Why not… call it Lynn?”
...
“Giggle, big brother will definitely be angry when he comes back~”
…
Unlike the joyful atmosphere of Bartleion Manor.
At this moment, in the hospital room of the Silent Church, the atmosphere was tense and icy cold.
Previously, to prevent the descent of Kushustan, Tiya had fought desperately and then fled with Lynn for a whole week, even fighting a fierce battle with “Hound” Frank in the Black Street Market, suffering severe injuries.
After all this exhausting effort, her body was drained.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t much better than Lynn had been before.
The only reason she hadn’t collapsed was a sheer tenacity.
She could not allow the hero who saved Glostit to bleed and cry.
Even if she couldn’t clear his name immediately, at the very least, she needed to preserve his life.
However, in the end, everything shattered like a mirage.
The strange emotions in her heart were completely crushed by the young man’s cold and merciless mockery.
Even though during this period of awakening, she had taken many doses of Moonlight Original Liquid and various healing potions, Tiya’s complexion remained pale, her originally bright green eyes now looked empty, and she seemed totally drained of spirit.
She thought that after learning the truth, she would wholeheartedly seek revenge, energized until she killed that man.
But in the end, Tiya realized she didn’t even have the desire for revenge.
Moreover, the most dominant thought was self-destruction.
Was it because the dirty deeds she had done were exposed, or because the young man’s sincerity had never existed from the start, and what she faced was always his constructed lies?
Tiya didn’t know.
Perhaps, it was the first time in her short life to encounter this.
There was no one who could help her escape her current predicament.
“Tiya, Sister Gretel is asking you something.”
In a trance, she heard the concerned voice of her good friend Louise.
Though close at hand, it felt so distant.
“Ah… sorry.”
Tiya slowly lifted her head and looked at the middle-aged nun in front of her with a weary expression.
Compared to Sister Theresa, who died at the hands of the limb connector Burshman, the present Sister Gretel, who was the head of the Silent Monastery, was naturally cold and stern, always stern in her dealings.
She and Louise had often been scolded and punished by her from childhood, so in their hearts, there was a certain degree of fear.
Or perhaps, aside from Sister Theresa and Louise, although she had always lived luxuriously within the Church, she never felt the warmth between people.
“Holy Princess, I ask you one last time.” Sister Gretel, serious and icy, slightly leaned forward and held her shoulders, “Has he ever defiled you?”
“This answer is very important, please tell the truth.”
Ah, Holy Princess.
Such an ironic and laughable title.

Thinking carefully, it seemed that this title had always filled her ears since childhood.
Even Sister Theresa, whom she regarded as a mother, seemed never to have called her “Tiya.”
Sometimes, even from those kind, gentle gazes, she could faintly sense some odd emotions.
It was as if the nuns were only evaluating her as a shell, not the personality and soul named “Tiya” within the shell.
Apart from big brother Xiya and Louise, she had never heard anyone else call her by her real name.
Oh, now there’s another Lynn.
At that time, deep down, she actually felt somewhat joyful.
But in the end, she realized that “Voya” was a fabricated lie.
Feeling the unquestionable gaze of Sister Gretel and the increasing pressure on her shoulder, that familiar feeling returned.
This look that treated her like a precious vessel… was it related to the Moonlight Holy Scripture later?
Tiya didn’t know.
But she subconsciously replied: “No, Sister Gretel… he didn’t do anything to me.”
After all, whether it was kissing or using her hand to relieve him, it was all actions based on her own will; Lynn had never coerced or even asked her, and even considered her feelings thoughtfully.
…Here it comes again, why do I always unconsciously make excuses for him?
Moreover, lying was not something the old self would do.
Maybe it was because she had been around that guy for too long, she could even lie without blushing or batting an eyelid.
Perhaps it was because of her long-standing persona, everyone couldn’t believe that Tiya, the Silent Saintess, would lie without changing her expression, so after observing her for a while, Sister Gretel finally took a deep breath.
This behavior made Tiya feel even stranger.
This is her own body; what changes it undergoes should be her own choice, how is it connected to them?
However, the other party didn’t give her a chance to think.
“This incident has had a significant impact, the Holy Princess must reflect on her actions and always remember her responsibility, not to let the Church down.”
“Additionally, your body has passed the critical period, and you can be discharged from the hospital tonight.” Sister Gretel’s wrinkled face made her look very solemn, “There are two days left until the Moonlight Holy Scripture, I hope you can adjust your mindset as soon as possible to welcome the arrival of the Divine Descent Ceremony.”
“…I understand.”
She didn’t quite grasp what emotion she was feeling, but overall, Tiya dazedly responded.
It wasn’t until the nun left the hospital room that she came back to her senses.
At this moment, only she and Louise were left in the room.
Looking at the empty room, Tiya lowered her head slightly, not sure what she was thinking.
And as a good friend, Louise seemed to observe her low spirits and thus did not speak, just letting the silence permeate between them.
After a long time, Tiya’s voice faintly sounded.
“What happened to him afterward?”
Him?
Louise instinctively thought Tiya was referring to Xiya, knowing the situation between the two.
But then she realized, her gaze unwittingly grew complicated.
“Speaking of which, something big related to him recently happened in Glostit,” Louise took a deep breath, “Those Transcendents who survived the demon’s descent, were initially collectively arranged in a private hospital under the Green Chamber of Commerce for treatment, waiting for the day they wake up to complete the truth of that night.”
“After all, the old fellows of the Imperial Council have always been on guard against us, because of your previous… incident, they did not accept the transcripts provided by the Church.”
“Just the night before last, the hospital experienced a massive fire, all those informed about the incident were buried in the flames.”
“Do you think this is a coincidence, or is someone manipulating from behind?”
Tiya was slightly startled, then shook head gently: “Perhaps, someone wants to frame him… but Louise, that’s not the information I want to know.”
“What really happened afterward, please don’t conceal it, tell me everything.”
Hearing this, Louise’s gaze drifted.
Being a survivor, she obviously knew the truth about that night; she also knew Lynn was actually the great hero who saved Glostit, only to be kidnapped by Tiya.
Now that they had finally rescued her, the Church would naturally not be foolish to vindicate Lynn.
Someone with a deranged mind wanted to take all the blame and clear their Holy Maiden of suspicion; they were of course pleased to see it happen.
Seeing her friend’s determined eyes and her frail pale face, Louise hesitated for a moment, finally speaking up.
“Right now, Lynn Bartleion, still wanted as a limb connector and the perpetrator behind the prince’s assassination and the council member’s murder,” she spoke very slowly, cautiously watching the girl before her, “As for the reasons…”
“That night, after you fell unconscious, he took all the sins upon himself in front of everyone.”
In an instant, Tiya’s green pupils slowly dilated.
“What, what did you say?”
