I will not die a Villainess's death-Chapter 85 85: Why Did I Not Finish?

"And that's all that happened in the other dimension. We got quite lucky that we managed to find this crystal in time."

Lucas Dirac held the crystal out toward the Head Priest to take and Yohan looked at it with a critical eye.

But no matter how he looked at the Sacrificial crystal, it did not turn into a fraud one at all. It was the real deal and Yohan had to admit it.

"I guess we should count ourselves lucky that nothing happened in the other dimension. Losing our future Saintess and the Crown Prince in one go would have been a devastating blow."

Yohan breathed out a sigh of relief as soon as he watched Adam and Eve come back. They still held that Dirac girl in between them but that was a temporary infatuation.

"Yeah, listing *only those two* would have caused a lot of problems for us all. Now then, should we get on to the next major issue there? Enma, can you read this script in front of you?"

Yohan heard the sarcasm in Lucas Dirac's voice but he let it go for now. This man held an influence over Eve right now which Yohan needed to take care of.

? Until then, he could not touch this man in any way, shape, or form.

"Of course, I can read this but not well enough to be called an expert. But why does it matter?"

"It matters because it's the sacred script of this land that only the god's envoy can read. It seems you are more special than you first realized."

The kid looked stunned before looking back at the text in his hand.

'From his ridiculed expression, it does seem like he can read it.'

Normally, Yohan would not have cared about this 'God's envoy' bullshit when he had a prophecy to see fulfilled. But the timing of his arrival was too coincidental.

He had arrived when everything was going downhill so maybe he was here to help straighten this world and its destiny out.

Yohan did not want to jump to conclusions this early so he will need to capture that man alone to be sure.

But for that to happen, he needed Lord Dirac to let him be alone with the envoy.

"About the envoy's residential needs-"

"I will take him with me for now. I know that the temple is short on rooms and staff but the Dirac estate had enough room to house the envoy for now. It will also promote good faith between the temple and the nobility if we do this. Enma agrees with me as well, right?"

The kid looked between Yohan and Lord Dirac before nodding swiftly. It was clear to Yohan that Lord Dirac was trying to cut off his access to the envoy.

'This envoy must be special. I need to get my hands on him at any cost. I cannot let him be a doom flag for Eve's success, be it political or spiritual.'

It was quite lucky that the envoy had no magic of his own or Yohan would have been forced to remove him. Otherwise, he would have become a danger to Eve's position as the Saintess.'

"It's quite late in the day so we should retire for tonight. Have a good night ahead. I will send you a letter about the hunting competition and how to process it this year shortly. After all, we do not have an animal but a crystal this year so we will need to make some adjustments to the schedule."

Yohan watched that cocky noble leave his office. What did that young man even know of the world to make jabs at Yohan's expanse?

"H-Head Priest, you are bleeding. Should I get a healer? Or perhaps, Lady Eve to heal you? Epppp"

The sister let out a startled yell as Yohan's eyes met hers. He must be looking quite angry for the lady to be this scared of him. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

"No need to bring anyone here since I am alright. I am a priest of light as well and I have strong healing magic. Please leave me alone for now and let no one enter this room. I have a lot to think about today."

He had a lot of plans to make and a lot of truths to uncover.

Yohan was more than sure about what Adam and Eve were doing right now and it was a step in the right direction. Even if they were sharing this intimate time with Elysia right now, they would soon wean off her.

And if not, then Yohan would forcefully wean them off her so that the future does not derail anymore than it already had.

"So, how was your experience meeting Head Priest Yohan? Did he live up to your expectations from the novel?"

Enma looked startled at hearing the kid talk to him. He had been so sure that he would be ignored the whole time he was in here with Lord Dirac and Sorias.

But it seemed like Sorias was taking an initiative to talk with him. It was odd but touching at the same time.

"I was scared to even look at him. Man, does nothing in this world the same as it was in the novel? How am I even supposed to process all that?"

Enma had read stories about people transmigrating into a novel and how they changed their life stories.

But even in those stories, they were usually the main characters or held enough influence to change things.

Right now Enma did not feel like he could change anything. The story had derailed too much already to even make sense after all.

No, this world had never been a story, to begin with. Everyone in here was living, breathing humans who were doing their best to live and get by. Saying that they were characters in a novel would be an insult to them.

"Anyway, I want nothing to do with the temple or 'god's envoy' related things now that I am here. I just want to live a happy and safe life."

"That would be a little tough. The temple will not let you go so you better brace yourself."

Enma sighed as he felt hopeless.

Suddenly, he bumped into someone and fell. The other person was a hooded figure and all Enma was able to see were orange eyes looking back at him before the taller person ran away.

It was such a sudden encounter that no one knew what to make of it. But something about those orange eyes bothered him. He felt like he should know about them but his brain refused to remember. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

"Hey, are you alright? Did the fall hurt? Weird, that person who bumped into your disappeared as well. I wonder why they were in such a hurry?"

Orange eyes. Orange eyes?

Orange eyes!

Now Enma remembered what was so weird about those orange eyes. It was the sign of a curse. But which one, Enma did not remember at all? Why had he never finished playing all the routes in that visual novel?

Now he felt like he had screwed up his future fate and his welfare.
