Chapter 453 My daughter
"You? You want to light a candle for them?" The third elder felt that he had misheard, so he asked again.
"That\'s right, can\'t I do that?" Catheryne said indifferently.
"This..." the Third Elder faltered; he didn\'t know what to say. This was the first time he had seen Catheryne say that she wanted to mourn the royal family members she killed.
This... is both right and wrong.
But… he had no ability to stop her.
The third elder sighed and said: "Okay, you... you can come in. However, you cannot..."
"Stop!" Suddenly, a voice rang out.
A young man walked out of the temple, dressed in white, with a cold smile on his face. Although he hid it very carefully, his smiling eyes carried a strong, murderous aura.
"Empress, you are not welcome here." The young man frowned, looked towards Catheryne, and spoke.
Akna felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to move forward, but Catheryne reached out her hand, signalling that she did not need to act.
Akna also knew that and immediately retreated back.
"Prime Minister Simon, what do you mean?" Catheryne looked towards the young man and asked.
"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?" Prime Minister Simon smiled contemptuously and said: "Does a cold-blooded monster like you know how to light candles for the dead?"
"You are not welcome here; go away. You being here is making this place dirty and smelly."
The Third Elder sighed. He wanted to stop Simon, but Catheryne\'s eyes scared him. So he retreated and sighed.
"Simon, do you know who I am?" Catheryne spoke softly.
"You? Hahahahaha..." Simon laughed maniacally: "A cold-blooded monster, a whore who killed everyone in the royal family in order to sit on the throne."
"Catheryne, do you think I don\'t dare say it? I can say…"
BAM!
Suddenly, an unknown Fire Phoenix tail appeared from the beginning, swung out, and slapped Simon in the face.
The slap was so strong that it sent Simon flying backwards, hitting a stone pillar before stopping.
He fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood and several teeth.
"You… you…" Simon\'s arms trembled as he pointed towards Catheryne.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking rang out, Simon\'s hand that was pointing towards Catheryne was immediately broken, his finger bones breaking into a zigzag pattern. The broken bone even punctures the skin and penetrates to the outside.
"AAA!!" Simon screamed in pain.
"Simon… I heard… You hurt my subordinate." Catheryne said coldly.
However, Prime Minister Simon did not seem to be afraid. He suddenly smiled fiercely and shouted: "Huh! If you don\'t know how to teach your dog, then I will teach it. That dog…"
BAM!
The phoenix tail appeared again, once again slapping Simon\'s face and causing him to almost faint.
"Prime Minister Simon…" Catheryne spoke up: "You should feel happy because you can still live and enjoy your father\'s wealth."
"You are alive until now, not because you make me feel scared, but… I don\'t want to kill a cockroach like you."
Prime Minister Simon covered his mouth, his face trembling violently. However, he wasn\'t trembling because of pain; rather, he was trembling because he was angry.
"If your father hadn\'t used the entire royal army and his fortune to keep you alive, you would have died long ago."
Catheryne\'s voice was like a sword piercing his heart. He was angry, grabbed the wall, and slowly stood up: "Catheryne... you... you..."
"Enough…" The Third Elder spoke up. Seeing this scene, he sighed, looked towards Catheryne, and said: "Empress, Simon is still young; there are many things he does not understand; please ignore him this time."
Catheryne glanced at the Third Elder.
Her eyes made him tremble. Even though he was an elder, he was also old and was no match for Catheryne.
Just a look from her made him so scared that his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Manage him well…" Catheryne glanced at the Third Elder: "If he still makes my subordinates feel uncomfortable, I will make him disappear from this world."
The Third Elder quickly knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and said: "I know, my Queen."
"Huh!" Catheryne turned and entered the temple.
When the third elder saw that she was completely inside, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head, looked towards Simon, sighed, and said: "You... ah... okay, I\'ll take you home."
As soon as the Third Elder touched Simon, he said, "Let me go! I don\'t need your pity."
"You…" The Third Elder shook his head in frustration: "You\'re still young; can\'t you restrain yourself a little? If you knew how to control your urges, you wouldn\'t be as tragic as this." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Control?!" Simon gritted his teeth, but he forgot that a few of his teeth were broken by Catheryne, so when he gritted his teeth, he felt pain.
He held his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood along with another tooth, and said angrily: "How can I control myself when facing someone who killed my entire family?"
The third elder shook his head and said: "Even if you can\'t control yourself, you still have to try. Do you think you\'re cool?"
"If you die, who will avenge you? You are now just an ant, and she is a giant monster."
"Her status is now even on par with the Pope of the Lumiere Church, where did you get the courage to speak to her so rudely?"
"Simon, as long as you\'re alive, there\'s hope. Once you\'re dead, you can\'t do anything. You must live, now is not the time for you to take revenge."
Simon clenched his usable hand. He was so angry that his eyes turned red, and tears flowed.
The third Elder sighed: "I heard you are a smart person; why are you so out of control now?"
Hearing that, Simon felt embarrassed, and his anger had also subsided. He then said softly: "Sorry, Third Elder. You\'re right, I was too rude."
"Wait!" Simon suddenly remembered something and smiled fiercely and cruelly: "If I can\'t take revenge on her, then... I can take revenge on the person she loves."
"Oy! That\'s not what I meant, you..."
Simon didn\'t seem to hear the Third Elder\'s words. He laughed as he stood up while dragging his seriously injured body into the distance.
The Third Elder sighed: "Ah! Okay, you guys can do whatever you want; just don\'t bother me."
"This world is also crazy. The cold-blooded empress fell in love with a certain mysterious young man. Now she\'s lighting a candle for the people she killed."
"I\'m old too; this game... You guys keep playing; I don\'t want to play."
…
Inside the shrine, Catheryne saw many pieces of wood, and on those pieces of wood were the names of the people she had killed.
They were all members of the royal family who opposed her sitting on the throne.
Those people were all dead; only she was still alive.
The royal shrine was quite normal, just like a normal church.
Catheryne glanced at the names carved on those pieces of wood. There were familiar names, but there were also names she had never heard of before.
But they all have one thing in common: they were all killed by her the day she sat on the throne.
Catheryne waved her hand, and a fire appeared, lighting up the candles inside the shrine and making the place brighter.
Suddenly, those candles were instantly extinguished, causing Catheryne to frown. She waved her hand again, lighting all the candles.
But within just a few seconds, all the candles in this place were extinguished by an invisible hand.
Akna also felt strange. After all, there was no wind in this place, so how could the candles be extinguished?
Catheryne seemed to realise something and said contemptuously: "I am lighting candles for you, not because I am afraid or regret killing all of you."
"I am doing this… to tell you that... If you hate me, just come here and put all your sins on me."
"You are only a bunch of useless souls, existing thanks to the fate energy of this empire."
"You should remember that I allow you to exist. If I want, you will not have the opportunity to exist in a soul form."
"So do not dare to bring negativity and curses to my man, understand?"
After Catheryne finished speaking, the temperature in the temple suddenly increased, as if the place were about to catch fire.
Akna quickly retreated because it seemed like she couldn\'t stand this terrible temperature.
Catheryne frowned and continued: "If my man encounters any danger, I swear... I will burn this temple and burn your souls until you completely disappear."
*Sigh*
Suddenly, a sigh rang out, and the soul of a middle man appeared, floating in front of Catheryne.
"Catheryne…" That man looked at Catheryne with sad and embarrassed eyes while speaking softly.
"Don\'t call me by my name; call me Queen." Catheryne replied with a frown, her eyes filled with contempt.
The man did not get angry when he heard that, but instead nodded: "Queen, why are you so angry?"
"Guess?"
Looking at Catheryne, who was furious, the man sighed and said: "Catheryne… no, Queen, calm down a bit. I assure you that... Everyone here just wants to live a peaceful life until their souls find a new chance to be reborn."
"No one dares to harm your man; we don\'t even know who your man is."
Catheryne frowned. She looked straight at that man for a moment, then she left.
Akna looked at that man, bowed in awe, and then left with Catheryne.
The man watched Catheryne leave and suddenly smiled with satisfaction: "Catheryne, finally... you know how to love, my daughter."
