Chapter 230
After talking to Clara, I left Aunt Sera's home with the excuse I was going to find someone to treat Lina's illness .
It was a white lie, but also a good excuse to explain when Lina starts to show signs of recovery .
Just like that, I arrived at the place where the meeting was arranged .
Hidden Cave .
Several minutes later, I was seated in a private room of a lavish restaurant in Hidden Cave . The private room was truly befitting of a high-class restaurant . It had soundproof walls and was wide enough that you could easily sleep here .
Normally, this kind of room was used to discuss important deals between nobles and merchants . It was normal for private rooms like this to be in use during the entire night and nobody would bother the people inside unless it's something important .
I closed my eyes and waited patiently for the person I was expecting .
And fortunately for me, that person did not take long to arrive .
*Knock Knock*
"Prince, are you inside?" A sweet and melodious voice came from the door .
I walked towards the door and opened it, revealing the beautiful woman behind .
Long black hair with deep black eyes . She was wearing a white nun habit and her face carried a compassionate smile .
The first word someone would think when he sees her is purity, and the second would be benevolence . No matter how you looked at her, you could not bring yourself to taint her purity with nefarious thoughts .
She was the current saint of the Church of Order, Safelia Ainida .
"Good night, prince . "
I looked at Safelia coldly before inviting her inside .
"… To be honest, I thought that my ears were playing tricks on me when I heard you wanted to meet me . " Safelia smiled and she sat on the table .
I sat across her and ignored her well-veiled sarcasm . "Do you want anything to eat?" I asked . "I fear our discussion will take a while . "
"Don't worry, I ate before coming here . "
I nodded and threw the menu aside . "Let's get straight to the point then . Saintess, do you know about my cousin's illness?"
Safelia narrowed her eyes . "Your cousin?"
I nodded and explained the situation to her . I finished when I reached the point where she needed to be treated by someone at the level of an archbishop .
Safelia kept her smile all the way . When I finally stopped talking, she put on an apologizing expression .
"I understand your situation, prince . However, you must know that there is no much I can do about it . "
"Oh?"
"You see, each archbishop of the church is someone very busy . How can they take care of such a small matter? If they agree each time they are asked to treat someone, how will they fulfill their duties then? However…"
"However?"
"I can do an exception for you, prince . I can personally go and treat your cousin, but with a condition . "
"A condition, huh . "
Safelia smiled gently . "It's just as you think . Break the engagement with our Holy Daughter . "
I looked deeply at Safelia . When I saw she did not have any intention to continue talking, I stood up .
Then, I started to walk around the room .
Safelia was startled . "Prince?"
I ignored her and looked at a painting hanging in the wall . After a few seconds, I opened my mouth .
"You see, miss Safelia . Actually, I don't care about most things and most people . Even if half of the empire dies tomorrow, I won't care . Why would I? They are not related to me . "
Safelia furrowed her brows, but I continued before she could interrupt me .
"However, I don't like when someone tries to harm my loved ones . And when someone tries to harm them just to threaten me… I hate it . "
Safelia narrowed her eyes . "Prince, are you implying something?"
