BXBX NOVEL Chapter 36 Bearing Benimaru's Hatred
\'What happened to him?\' Nihal looked at Benimaru dumbfounded, as he didn\'t expect this change.
\'And how could such a rumor spread out? I don\'t think anyone would have the courage to do so.\' Nihal racked up his brain thinking of such information leaking outside.
"Having a hard time remembering such things as the priest did?" Benimaru\'s sudden voice brought him back to his senses. He saw Benimaru sitting quietly, looking at him, probably waiting for him to remember the events.
"No, no, I clearly remember and know who he is. I am just sorting out my mind." Nihal said, waving his hands, flabbergasted. "The rumors might be true as the priest does have such behaviors. He would favor the young, beautiful acolytes, making them lower their guards and finally conquering them in his chambers. He would also suggest the parents of the children who have beautiful daughters to have their daughters become acolytes of this church in the name of Goddess Ignia. When they grow up and become of age, he would also defile them, and…and…."
"And what?" Benimaru asked with a voice that felt devoid of any emotion, only Ravenna could feel the raging anger that Benimaru was holding back in his heart.
Nihal spoke up what was stuck in his mouth while gritting his teeth. "And he would take some to his chamber when he couldn\'t calm down his urges."
Then the gloomy atmosphere instantly vanished, totally contrary to Ravenna and Nihal\'s expectations. Benimaru asked with a slight smile. "Did he try to do that to the baron\'s daughter?"
"Uhhh.. she came to the church when I first joined. So I can vividly remember what had happened." Nihal, despite being dumbfounded, told him everything. "The priest did get riled up after seeing Princess Ana, as her beauty was truly unparalleled in the region, but he didn\'t do anything as he was very scared of Baron Arash and his family. That was also the day I found his true identity and nature, as I had yet to blindly believe in anything."
Thap
Benimaru suddenly patted Nihal\'s shoulder and stood up. He looked down at Nihal. "Thank you for your cooperation. You are a good boy but too good to do anything, to bring a change. So, rest now."
Nahil looked at Benimaru\'s eyes, trying to understand what he meant, but the moment their eyes made contact, Nihal\'s eyes turned blank, and he slumped into the bed.
[ Illusion Bind ], Benimaru finally used this ability to let Nihal fall into an illusion for a second. He made a follow-up event where the Goddess Ignia descended and fought him to death, thus finally saving the city. She showed her condemnation toward Nihal for not letting the priest\'s atrocity come to light and mixing with demons before leaving.
Benimaru was sure that would let Nihal think he had a premonition from the goddess, and for that reason, he might try to find a way to let the truth about the priest come out and not talk about talking to him and Ravenna.
Walking on the streets with their cloaks on, Ravenna asked Benimaru. "Why did you change your name?"
Benimaru explained his reasoning, which Ravenna heartily understood. "I hope you call me by this name now."
"Sure, Lord…Benimaru." Ravenna gave a slight chuckle, blocking her mouth.
Benimaru also laughed along with her, raising the corner of his mouth.
"Also, what will we do with the church now?" Ravenna glanced at Benimaru\'s face, knowing what he might be thinking after hearing what he asked from Nihal earlier.
"We will uproot this church," Benimaru answered her with a big, innocent smile.
"Hehehe, I knew you would do that." Ravenna guessed it, knowing how much Benimaru loved his daughter. He could go to drastic lengths just to do anything to harm the culprits who would show up with malicious intentions toward her.
"I do not know what Ana is up to or where she is now, but I am sure she will gloat toward the priest when she hears what her father is going to do," Ravenna said with wonder while looking at Benimaru in a daze; only she knew what was going on in her heart.
However, Benimaru didn\'t pay attention to what Ravenna was going through, but mentioning his daughter made him think of her. "I believe wherever she is now, she is doing well."
"So, we should do our stuff, I believe we will see her in the future, and I will introduce you to her." Benimaru turned his head around and met with Ravenna\'s eyes, which were intensely looking at him. He called her, bringing her out of her daze. "Ravenna?"
"Uhh,, I was just wondering how our paths might cross, I hope your daughter likes me." Ravenna fluttered a little, then came up with an answer quickly.
"I am sure she will do." Benimaru headed toward the gate of the city. "Let\'s go to the base, I think they have done enough mining."
"Yes," Ravenna nodded her head and then followed along with him, tossing away the feeling she was having right now.
…
Thousands of kilometers away from Migotanie City.
A row of luxurious carriages was moving up a lush green valley that was squeezed by two mountains that were four thousand meters in height, respectively.
Inside one of these carriages were a group of young boys and girls, most of them being at the age of sixteen.
Among them was a young girl who stood out the most. She had white hair, while her root hair was oceanic blue. Her eyes were large and bright, with long lashes and a deep, captivating gaze, and her deep sapphire-colored eyes reflected her calmness. Her features were delicately shaped, with high cheekbones, a small nose, and a perfectly shaped mouth. Her lips were soft and full, with a natural pout that seemed to invite admiration. Her figure was slender and graceful. Her long blue gown with a fluttering skirt enhanced her beauty more.
She was none other than Benimaru and Baron Arash\'s daughter, Ana Silveria.
