Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 57 Priest (2)





I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this and I just looked at the priest with that surprised look.

After all, I had no idea what he was talking about.

The priest didn't say anything as he just waited for me to speak.

At the same time, both Baroness Rose and Cecilia looked at me as if they were waiting to see what I would say.

After a long moment of silence, I said, "I don't know what you want from me."

The priest just calmly said, "Is there anything of demon origin that you want to show me?"

I couldn't help knitting my brows when I heard this, but I wasn't surprised. I had already expected this when I saw the priest the first time, but I never thought that he would be so blunt with it.

In the end, I said with a sigh, "What if I still said that I don't know what you're talking about?"

The priest just looked back at me with a knowing smile.

It seemed like I really couldn't fool this priest and I couldn't keep playing the fool.

So in the end, I had no choice but to bring out the item.

After all, I could see that he didn't have any ill intentions. He was just asking about it because he really wanted to see the item that I had.

Since that was the case, I might as well show it to him to see what his opinion on it was. I had no idea what the locket was and I had only taken it because of…my jealousy, so it would be a good idea to know what I had destroyed.

After it was placed on the table, Baroness Rose was the first one to react.

It was an item that she had given to her husband, so of course she would be the first one to recognize it even if it had already been destroyed.

It was the one thing that she had put quite a bit of effort into when they had first gotten married because she had wanted to make their marriage work. But after she gave this to him, she had never seen it again.

That was the moment that she realized that the Lord Baron didn't care for her and was only using her.

After a long period of silence, Baroness Rose asked me, "Where did you get that?"

The tone of her voice put a bit of pressure on me, but I looked back at her with a knowing and bitter smile. It was clear by the way that I looked at her what I meant by this.

One of her hands came up to cover her mouth and her eyes couldn't help misting over.

But then the priest suddenly said, "Were you the one who destroyed it?"

All three of us were caught off guard when we heard this and we immediately turned our attention back to him.

Seeing that I wasn't answering, the priest asked again, "Were you the one who destroyed it?"

I looked at the priest and seeing the serious look in his eyes, I couldn't help giving a nod.

The priest raised one hand towards me and I couldn't help flinching. The priest saw this, but he just revealed a smile and said in a gentle voice, "It's alright."

Hearing this, I calmed down a bit and let his hand come over.

He patted me on the shoulder as he said, "Good job destroying that evil artifact."

I was confused by this, so all I did was nod in a daze.

The priest didn't say anything else even though he could clearly see the confused looks that we had. He just went back to keep looking over the remains of the locket.

Finally, Baroness Rose was the one that couldn't take it anymore as she asked, "Father, what is wrong with this thing?"

Though she tried to keep her voice calm, there was a clear flutter to it, showing just how anxious she was.

But one couldn't blame her since this was something that was very personal to her.

The priest didn't say anything at first as he continued staring at the locket on the table. There was a long silence that followed as everyone waited for the priest to speak.

After a long silence, the priest finally said, "This is a cursed object."

"Cursed object?" Everyone couldn't help asking at the same time.

The priest just gave a simple nod in response before he continued saying, "This object is a very evil object, it goes against all that our lord teaches. It twists the grace of all that is in being and all that is right in this world…" The priest continued on to give a sermon about just how evil this item was.

They listened for a bit, but as he started dragging on, it was harder and harder for them to listen to.

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and said, "Father, please just tell us what this thing is."

The priest snapped out of his sermon and realized what he was doing. He revealed an awkward smile before giving a cough and saying, "This item is a cursed item like I said and as the name implies, it is used to place a curse on a person. Can you tell me whose picture was in this locket previously? I need to check that person to see if there are still signs of that curse on them, though there shouldn't be any since the curse should have broken when this item was destroyed."contemporary romance

All three of us were shocked when we heard this.

Both Cecilia and I couldn't help turning to look at Baroness Rose who sat there with a completely stunned expression in her eyes.

But at the same time, we could tell that there was a look of extreme pain in those eyes as well.

I reached out to her and wanted to say something, but before I could, she came forward to hug me.

In my ear, she said in a soft voice, "Thank you."
