Priest (3)

There was a moment of silence that followed as everyone was surprised by this sudden move by Baroness Rose.

But after that moment of silence, I patted her on the back without saying a thing.

That was because I was filled with guilt at this moment…

She most likely misunderstood why I took the locket in the first place…

After all, I didn't take it because I noticed the curse on it, I didn't take it because it was a demon item, I simply took it because…I had been jealous. I didn't think that the Lord Baron deserved to keep this item because of the way that he treated his wife, the woman who I had already taken as my own.

The two of us stayed there like that for a bit before Baroness Rose slowly moved away.

As she moved away, she was wiping away the few bits of tears that were left.
