Chapter 102

"Do you believe in the myth?" Eckart asked after giving her an ambiguous reply.

"Well, this is a secret you shouldn't tell the cardinal and the priests."

Marianne looked around as if she was going to tell him a top secret.

"I almost never believed it. I was an unfaithful believer, to say the least."

There was a faint smile on her face as if she was confessing her sin.

"But I'm going to believe it as much as I feel it's beneficial for me. "

She began to condition her faith on the benefits, which he didn't expect at all.

He turned his eyes away from her with a heavy heart.

In fact, he couldn't think straight at the moment.

In the meantime, Marianne stared at the quiet darkness outside the window, over the front table.

As was the case with Eckart a little while ago, her white and beautiful face was also overshadowed by the light. Overlaid on top of it was his clear and firm resolution.
