Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 537 Hera handed Sebastian the laced glass of red wine . " Our last drink together . Is that alright ? " +25 Bonus I looked at Hera with surprise . After our divorce , she had been cold , clingy , and arrogant . She had never been truly calm or this composed . " Alright . " It was only one final drink . After tonight , we would live separate lives and no longer be entangled . I nodded and accepted the wine from her hand . " Thank you for giving me this moment , Sebastian . I truly loved you . " She raised her glass with a forced smile .

Our cups touched , and satisfaction flickered through her eyes . " Cheers . " " Cheers . " I lifted the glass , ready to drain it in one gulp . Before a single drop touched my lips , both Byleth and Metis narrowed their eyes at the wine . Their expressions shifted at once . " Stop . Sebastian , you can't drink that ! " " That wine is poisoned ! " Byleth seized my wrist , and Metis pulled the glass out of my hand . " Poisoned ? " My expression hardened while I turned a cold gaze on Hera . Panic passed through Hera's beautiful face for a single instant before she hid it .

" How could I possibly poison my own husband ? " she insisted . "I came to say goodbye . You will not allow a final drink ? I hope you can be happy , no matter who you are with . " " Poisoned or not , you know the truth . " Metis lifted the wine to her nose , inhaled once , and confirmed the mixture . The wine held danger beyond question. Hera gritted her teeth and denied it with fury . " It's not poisoned ! " " Very well . Let's test it then . " Cold amusement curved at Metis ' lips as she hurled the glass to the floor . It shattered against the marble with a sharp crack .

Hera paled while regret and frustration crossed her face . This scene had not unfolded the way she expected . Shards scattered across the marble , dark wine splashing over the ground . " You two are far too petty , " Hera snapped . " How do you expect to keep a man like that ? It was just a normal glass of red wine ! " She had already shifted to her fallback plan , a clean reversal . The cup held no true poison , only an aphrodisiac . Shattering it would reveal nothing . If Sebastian doubted the two women instead , she would gain from that as well . " Is that so ?

" 1/2 Chapter 537 +25 Bonus Byleth and Metis both sneered . A sharp , sizzling sound rose from the spilled wine . White smoke curled upward . The marble beneath it blackened . The smell turned acrid and choking . Anyone could see the truth now . The wine was toxic . A chill ran down my spine , and cold sweat gathered on my back . I had underestimated how far she would go . Last time she tried to drug me , and now she aimed to kill me outright . Without Byleth and Metis , I might have died today . " Hera , what do you have to say for yourself ? " " No , it's not like that .

I didn't poison you . Dear husband , I love you so much . How could I want to harm you ? " Hera stood frozen , face drained of all color . " Are you lying through your teeth ? " Metis ' voice cut through the air like ice . " Do you think I don't know what kind of woman you are ? You expect me to believe you would spare Sebastian out of kindness ?
