Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

" So now you regret it? Too bad . You're too late! " Leon lashed out with a roundhouse kick that knocked Bastien flat . He hit the ground with a yelp , hugging his stomach in pain . " You lied to us and tried to turn us against our most important guest and benefactor ! Do you think your second- class elite family can protect you from the fallout ? " Leon sneered , crouching low so his face hovered close to Bastien's . " How long do you think the Thierrys would last if we reigned over Astergrad ? " Bastien's horror deepened with every word .

If his family collapsed because of this , his parents wouldn't hesitate to kill him . " No ! That's not what I meant ! " Leon raised a brow . " Then what did you mean ? " " I meant ... It was the woman's fault ! She manipulated me ! She told me he was nothing but a simple , incompetent soon - to - be ex - husband ! She said I could pick any kind of fight with him and it would be fine ! " He turned toward Sebastian , tears running down his face . " I didn't know you were this high and mighty , Mr. Grimwald ! I'm sorry ! Yes , I used to like Hera , but not anymore ! I don't even dare !

I swear , I never slept with her ! She only said she'd be my girlfriend , that was all - nothing happened between us !" His voice cracked as he begged , " I know I made a mistake ! Please , just let me go ! I'm nothing but an insignificant maggot ! I literally begged my parents for the invitation so I could show off to Hera , that's all ! I never thought it would end like this ! " Leon and Leda turned to me , as if waiting for my verdict . I frowned . The man was such a pathetic coward that hitting him again would feel like dunking my hand in a toilet bowl . " Get out of here .

" " You heard him . Piss off ! " Leon growled . Bastien shook all over with relief . " Thank you ! Thank you for your mercy , Mr. Grimwald ! I hope you and Hera get back together and live happily ever after ! " He was about to turn away when Leda snapped , " Hold it right there ! What do you mean , ' get back together , happily ever after ' ? They're about to get divorced , you moron ! " Bastien felt a chill crawl up his spine . He had put his foot in it again . " I - I'm sorry ... " " God, just get lost ! " Leda barked , waving him off with disgust .

Bastien scrambled for the exit , stumbling in his rush to escape . The entire time , he hadn't dared glance at Hera . Hera herself was left frozen , torn between leaving and staying . Every second weighed on her like humiliation , and her expression betrayed it . Her fists clenched tight , her face drained of color . She turned to me , pale as a sheet . "What's your relationship with her ? " Both her instincts and Leda's attitude gave her every reason to feel threatened . 1/2 Chapter 292 +25 Bonus Before I could respond , Leda slid an arm around mine like she was planting a flag .
