Chapter 310 - Annoying The Crown Prince Part 3
Rhea smirked at the crown prince. Framing her? Really?
Did they forget that the church didn't announce her as a criminal? The church didn't want to kick her out just yet. After all, they wanted her ability. "His Highness should reflect his words. Especially you have no evidence to support your claims. Baseless accusations like this could easily cause a war. I am certain that his highness wouldn't like that, right?"
Chills ran down the Prince's spine as he stared at Rhea. "What are you talking about?" The Prince never mentioned a war.
"Your highness… you have forgotten something," Rhea said. "I am still the representative of the church." True, the church was scheming against her. But they didn't publicly announce that they are going to excommunicate her. Of course, this was because of the stunt that she pulled before meeting them.
Right now, the church must be itching to get a hold of her talismans.
The smile on Rhea's face was enough to silence everyone. Rhea's point was clear. She was still the representative of the church — a powerful representative.
If the church would have to choose between abandoning one party, they would never choose to abandon the powerful one. The Crown Prince could only sigh. It seems that they miscalculated. Rhea wasn't showing any signs of fear from the church. Even if she knew that the church is behind this, she is still showing off that she wasn't scared of them.
Then he thought about his conversation with Bishop Atlas. The past conversation gave him more confidence. The Bishop promised to support him! That should be enough, right? "How dare you talk like that in front of the next ruler of this country?" he yelled. "How dare you threaten the empire?"
Rhea snorted. Just as she expected, the crown prince only showed little signs of fear. Then this only means that the church planned this! They must have promised their support towards the crown prince! Ah, this is getting complicated.
It is best to stay at the house and eat. "I am leaving." She said.
"You — where are you going? Why are you guys not arresting this woman? This woman murdered the —"
"Your highness, have you forgotten that you are the crown prince of this empire? How could you spout nonsense without even showing some evidence?" Mo Li's expression darkened as he stared at the knights that started to move towards them. "Your highness should know… the saintess is my fiance. And if one of you dare to touch her…" His gaze made the knights flinched.
"Prince Mo!"
Mo Li squinted. "Please present the evidence to the emperor. I will be waiting for you in the emperor's study."
"You— "
Mo Li was clearly using the emperor's name to scare them.
"Let's go," Mo Li said. Then he escorted Rhea out of the Crown Prince's abode. "I am taking you home."
"You know… they are going to use this against the emperor." Rhea was certain that this was the start of chaos that she expected to happen. It seems that the Larsens have chosen sides. And it wasn't hers.
Ah, she expected her father to be like this.
However, she still felt disappointed. Rhea doesn't have anyone who loved her. How pitiful.
"I will come back to see the emperor after I— "
"There is no need to escort me. You take care of your business. I will wait for you at home."
'At Home'
The words made Mo Li smile. Without any hesitation, he leaned forward and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.
The small contact made her flinched. The absence of any disgust or any feeling of repulsion surprised her. She could only blame this on Mo Li's good looks.
"I will see you later?" Mo Li said.
"You will escort me to the auction, right?"
"Of course." Rhea nodded. She smiled as she stepped inside the carriage. After tonight's auction, the capital would surely get chaotic. The nobles that support the crown prince would demand that the empire give them the saintess. "Take me to the slums." It would be good to gather more people on her side.

'Oh? It seems that the Crown Prince became angry?'
She couldn't help but wonder if this was because of Mo Li.
Rhea maintained a gentle smile on her face until she reached the slums, where she helped a lot of sick people. After a few hours, she decided to go back to the house to change her clothes. It seems that the Crown Prince wasn't able to pressure the emperor to arrest her?
Now she is wondering what are they planning to do.
[Host can see the future. The host can use her ability to check what is going to happen.]
Oh? Rhea smiled as she played with the water inside the tub. She was currently taking a bath and preparing herself to go to the auction house. 'I actually forgot that I can use this ability.'
For some reason, Rhea thought seeing the future is really a hassle. Right now, her control over her ability has increased a lot. Because of this, the random visions stopped.
However, the ability is still there. She could foresee the future only if she concentrated and chose which future she wanted to see.
After closing her eyes, Rhea thought about Gaspar and the Larsen Family. Previously, she saw them being killed. She wondered if the future is still the same?
It didn't take too long before the haze in her mind cleared. This time, she saw them in prison.
"Ah…" Refreshing. Being in prison is good. At least they survive. Her mission is just to make them live. That should be enough.
"You looked relax."
Rhea almost jumped out of the tub when she heard Mo Li's voice. "What the hell?" she grabbed one of the towels and put it on top of the tub. "What are you doing here?" she closed her eyes for a few minutes and this man just walked inside her bathroom.
"I have been calling your name. I thought something might have happened," he smirked. "Nothing happened, right?"
