Chapter 594: Alicia's New Work
Leave a comment ⇐ PreviousNext ⇒
In the quiet backyard of the Cathedral of Light. Irene cautiously locked her door and checked it several times, ensuring everything was secure. Only then did she smile in satisfaction.
"I finally have a half-day off! Now I can read my novel!"
The novel she had been eagerly waiting to read was, of course, filled with mature themes. Naturally, she wouldn't be acting so secretive otherwise.
As a pure Saintess in service to the Goddess of Light, being caught reading lewd novels would surely mean severe punishment—or worse, the loss of her position. With so many others coveting her position, a single slip-up could cost her everything.
‘Without communication with higher beings, the title of Saintess means nothing,' Irene sighed to herself.
If there were no perks left to her title, she would have abandoned it long ago.
"Finally, my treasure, here I come!"
Eager to push those dull thoughts aside, Irene hurried to her bed, kneeling on the carpet. She leaned forward, stretching her hand underneath, searching for her secret.
"Hehe, there you are, my treasure!" She carefully pulled out a book with an ornate cover from under the bed.
The title read: "Lonely Thoughts: Sleepless Nights. Sister, Please Restrain Yourself."
This was the latest novel by Mountain Lily, published just last month.
Irene had been too busy to enjoy it since she'd secretly bought it. When Yaeger had confiscated her stash of novels, she'd made sure not to include this one. Now, with some free time at last, she could finally indulge.
She gently opened the book’s cover, treating it as if it were a precious work of art.
"As expected from Sister Mountain Lily! The very first sentence hits right in the heart. I love it already!" Irene whispered with excitement.
To Irene, among all the novels with mature themes she had read, Mountain Lily’s works alone stood as true literary masterpieces—nourishment for the soul. Unfortunately, no matter how good they were, lewd novels were still lewd novels—never recognized as legitimate art.
Feeling a little sorry for the author, Irene flipped to the first page and began reading intently.
Time flew by. Irene became utterly engrossed in the story, completely oblivious to the outside world. She didn’t notice the dark shadow sneaking up behind her!
"Oh, this marquis is so wicked! How dare he interrupt the sister’s plan!" Irene blurted out as she reached an exciting part of the plot.
Just then, the shadow struck! A pair of hands shot out like vipers, grabbing her from behind!
"Irene, my friend! I'm here to hang out!" a familiar voice exclaimed.
"Wahhhh!" Irene screamed, startled out of her wits by the sudden attack.
If it weren’t for the excellent soundproofing of her room, her scream would have echoed throughout the entire Cathedral.
"Ow, my ears! Why are you screaming so loudly?" Yaeger complained with a groan.
Of course, the intruder was none other than the beautiful and mischievous Black-hearted Princess herself.
