NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4 - Revenge 4
My second most hated person in this world?
That’s the former Crown Princess, Luce.
After that, the Crown Prince and Princess divorced.
They went through a messy divorce drama, but I’m not involved.
Whether there’s a crack between the royal family and the temple, I don’t care.
They claim it was a mutual agreement to divorce, but that’s definitely not true. Both the Crown Prince and the Princess messed up.
It’s just the result of their mistakes being too big to shift the blame.
The former Crown Princess returned to being a commoner named Luce Santa.
And now, Luce is in the temple.
I thought they’d just get rid of her, but it seems they couldn’t ignore her because of her former title as the “former Saint.”
Because of that woman, my sister suffered so much.
But it’s not just my sister!
Many women had their lives ruined.
“Miguel, did you know? Luce endured terrible harassment throughout her time at the academy.”
“Unfortunately, my sister’s innocence has been proven.”
“Yes… it turns out the Duke of Pezzalot’s daughter wasn’t the culprit. Luce suspected her because she was always criticizing her, so we followed suit…”
“If you’re that convinced, then the temple seems to be just as stubborn. They’re just as guilty for putting my innocent sister through hell. Speaking of which, I heard that she lost her powers.”
“Yes… I don’t know why… but it happened suddenly…”
“God sees all. He knows who the wicked ones are.”
“…”
“By the way, earlier you mentioned how my sister criticized the former saint. That’s a misunderstanding as well.”
“A misunderstanding?”
“Yes. She only warned her about flirting too much with the high-ranking nobleman who had fiancées. But the former saint wouldn’t listen. She even exaggeratedly cried, accusing her of jealousy and spite. Apparently, she’s still doing the same thing.”
“…”
“It’s hard to reason with someone who acts worse than an irrational animal, but since the temple educates such girls with exaggerated feelings of persecution as saints, there’s nothing we can do about it. By the way, I heard many people mockingly call the former saint ‘Sex Saint.’ It’s quite fitting, isn’t it?”
The priest in front of me is getting paler by the second, but I couldn’t care less.
Because it’s the truth.
Well, I was surprised by how quickly the public turned against the prince and princess after celebrating their marriage so joyfully.
“Isn’t it odd how someone can openly commit adultery and still expect to be blessed in public? Don’t you think so?”
“Well…”
“She claims to have been treated badly, but isn’t she the one who’s been doing terrible things all along? Have you ever wondered why they haven’t been punished even though we know who the culprit is?”
“…”
“Did you know that among the culprits were also commoner students?”
“!!”
Is that really so surprising?
“S-So commoner students… bullied Lucie?”
“Yes.”
“Why!? They’re both commoners!!”
“That’s exactly why.”
“Huh?”
It seems he really doesn’t understand.
Does he think they’re automatically allies just because they’re both commoners?
Is this priest also as naive as the former saint?
In fact, being from the same background left other commoner students with nowhere to go. They had no place at the academy.
All because of one former saint.
“Commoner students, especially female students, are known among noble students for coming to fish for men. After all, there have been success stories. Whether they’re aiming to marry up or down, there’s no shortage of them. So, it’s not the only reason, but it seems the school’s admission is being reconsidered by the board of directors.”
“What?!”
“The Royal Academy was originally a place for noble children. It’s been allowing talented commoners to attend for decades now. Many on the board feel it might have been premature to do so. Among the more radical members, some even believe it was a mistake to open the school’s gates to commoners in the first place. Despite the fact that most commoner students are diligent and working hard for their futures, the future has been darkened for them all because of one person’s presence.”
“Miguel, what on earth…”
“Starting next year, the academy will stop accepting commoners.”
“!!?”
“You probably know who the commoners will blame for this.”
It seems he finally understands what I’m saying.
Yes, it’s all Luce’s fault. If Luce weren’t around, commoner students wouldn’t be in such a predicament.
It’s too late for them to realize now.
