Chapter 186 Western Fantasy‧Whoring the Great Priest (Twenty)

“I will never betray you.”

Theodore opened his eyes, his thoughts still a little confused.Why did he fall asleep while handling official duties? He seemed to be getting tired more and more easily recently. Could it be that he was overindulging in sex like that old fox in Garro said?Thinking of the shameless life he and Margaery lived day and night, Theodore couldn’t help but feel a little hot on his face.

I have to say that Margery felt that he was thin-skinned early on, which was really prescient.It had been more than ten days since the two had opened their hearts to each other. Theodore still couldn’t help but blush when he thought of the disgusting things he had done.He is not good at expressing emotions. It should be said that he has never had such experience at all.Theodore tried to be more forthright, to speak his mind more openly.This was very unaccustomed to him and very difficult.But he felt that he had to do something for that woman. If the other party was Margaery, even if he had to trust her and tell her his biggest secret, Theodore would not hesitate.

This is really strange. There are many people who want to gain his trust, but he has never wavered.But facing Margaery, Theodore revealed all his weaknesses without struggling at all.He believed that for no reason – since Margaery said she wouldn’t betray him, she definitely wouldn’t.

“My lord! My lord!” Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

It was Jace. Theodore couldn’t help but straighten up. As an alchemy doll, Jace rarely behaved so calmly. “What happened?” He opened the door. Although the attendant outside the door remained expressionless, Theodore could see the anxiety in his eyes.

“There are all believers outside. I don’t know who spread the word. Now it’s spreading all over the city, saying that you,” Jayce paused, “are not the true chosen one.”

Overnight, the entire Feixi Castle was almost turned upside down.

The streets and alleys were covered with brightly colored posters, which read in shocking red letters – “Shocking scam? The truth about God’s Chosen Son.”The content is thousands of words long, listing the huge lies that Theodore Visedes, the current high priest of the Noldor Kingdom and the beloved “Chosen Son of God”, told to the Holy See and believers in order to seize power.

At first, the people didn’t believe it, but as the rumors spread more and more widely, and with the help of thoughtful people, all kinds of rumors were added to the fire, and the believers finally couldn’t hold it back anymore.

“The believers are blocking outside the temple, asking to see you.” Jace stood beside Theodore and whispered.

The lie was finally exposed, but Theodore didn’t feel any panic at all.He had known that this day would come. From the moment he was forced to wear a mask, Theodore knew that things would not always go smoothly.He had thought about leaving because he was too young and incapable of resisting Martin.When he finally accumulated enough strength, what stood in front of him became the so-called family love.

“Theo… please don’t go, Theo.” Theodore will never forget the look of the woman kneeling in front of him, crying and begging, the woman he called mother.Years of pampered life have long since washed away the wind and frost on her body. She wears her hair in the most popular bun and wears a gorgeous silk dress. Even though she is crying pitifully, the delicate makeup on her face has not faded at all.

This is, his mother…

“If you leave,” the woman sobbed and grabbed his hand, “what will mom do…”

“You can come with me,” Theodore said gently. “I have saved a little money. Although it is not much, it is enough for our mother and son to live.”

This was his plan. He and his mother would live in seclusion in a place where no one knew him, and live a quiet but safe life.There was no deception, no suspicion, and there was no need for him to keep pretending.Since the age of five, he has never had a life of his own.Those lies were like shackles, weighing heavily on him.It was panic-stricken at first, but later, Theodore became numb.He was like a frozen fish, with only the breath to sustain life, and nothing else – happiness, freedom, reality… nothing.

“Let’s… leave together?” The woman was stunned, “But…” Theodore realized that she began to slowly back away, “What about your teacher, and… and those believers, if we leave, wouldn’t it be…” She hesitated, and finally said what she really thought in her heart, “I can’t live like this anymore.”

What kind of life?Theodore wanted to ask her, and the answer was obvious.

As the mother of a great priest, she has a son who is called the “Chosen Son of God” and lives a life of luxury that ordinary people cannot imagine.Once upon a time, it was a life that the woman in front of me had never imagined.Wearing the most gorgeous clothes and eating the most delicious food, even the great nobles who had been arrogant in the past came to curry favor with her.She couldn’t give up this kind of life.

“Theodore…” The light in Theodore’s eyes dimmed, and the woman quickly stepped forward to catch him, “It’s not that mother doesn’t understand you, isn’t it good now?” She explained clumsily and urgently – Theodore knew that her anxiety was just because she was afraid that the son who had brought her a luxurious life would really leave, and she wanted to tie him up. “Even if something happens, there will still be your teacher…”

“I know.” Theodore laughed. He couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart. From then on, he never asked his mother for any help.

But he was still trapped after all. It wasn’t that he couldn’t let go of the long-dead family relationship, but that he suddenly couldn’t find the meaning of leaving.Even if he no longer has to wear a mask to live, so what.There were countless creatures living in this vast continent, but he couldn’t find anyone for whom he was willing to take off his mask.

“Sir!” Nathan ran over in a hurry, and Theodore turned his head, with no expression on his face.

One day, finally one day, he found that person.He took off his mask and told the man all his secrets without hesitation.The secret was originally known to only three people, but today, it has become known to the whole world.

“Miss Margery… Miss Margery,” even an alchemy doll like Nathan probably saw the despair in his master’s eyes at that moment. The young man hesitated, but finally put down the last straw that broke the camel’s back, “She is gone.”
