Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 28 Summary Hera seems to have reached a breaking point, aggressively provoking Sebastian in hopes that a serious confrontation might lead to reconciliation. Sebastian, however, feels that the burden of compromise and swallowing pain has always been on him, and he questions what happens when he finally decides he is done with that dynamic. He responds coldly to Hera's accusations and leaves without engaging further.

Hera, frustrated and angry, grabs Sebastian's arm and warns him of consequences if he walks away that night. Despite her intensity, Sebastian remains detached and dismissive, no longer intimidated by her. He shakes off her grip and leaves, leaving Hera standing in disbelief, unable to comprehend how the man she once looked down on has become indifferent to her. As Sebastian departs, Hera's anger erupts into a shouted threat, insisting that jealousy has no place in their marriage and claiming she wouldn't have been jealous if his faults weren't outrageous.

Sebastian, confused by her mixed signals, wonders if she truly seeks peace or is just trying to convince herself she doesn't care about their impending divorce. Later, Hera calls Sebastian again, demanding to know what she did to make him so cold and ruthless. Sebastian calmly replies that she hasn't done anything terrible, but it's what she said that affected him. Hera, clutching her phone tightly, struggles to understand how their relationship has deteriorated so quickly, leaving her uncertain and desperate for answers.
