Hush Now, Saintess! - Chapter 91
Chapter 91

—
‘I think I had a dream about something…’
Leaning against the rattling carriage, I tried to recall the dream I had a few days ago.
But, as usual, nothing came to mind today either.
‘Ah whatever, forget it. Let’s stop thinking about it.’
I gave up on trying to remember the dream.
It felt like something important and unsettling, which is why I kept trying to recall it, but…
If it doesn’t come to mind after all this pondering, it probably means it was just some bullsh*t dream.
Feeling more at ease, I got off the carriage upon reaching my destination.
Today, I was headed to the temple for the second time.
The purpose was…
“Your Ladyship said I just need to look for the apprentice priest from before, right?”
It’s exactly as Gaston mentioned.
“Right. I forgot to ask for his name last time.”
There were four people who bet on me during the game at the temple last time.
Oliver, Gaston, Mary.
And an unnamed apprentice priest.
I had already settled accounts with the first three, but I hadn’t been able to hand over the money to the priest yet.
Since I forgot to ask for his name that day.
You need to know a person’s name to give them their dues.
Of course, I could describe him to someone else and ask for help, but…
‘As a self-proclaimed money-maniac, I can’t allow that.’
What if the money ends up in the wrong hands?
That would be intolerable.
It’s better for me to go through a bit of trouble and deliver it personally.
“Let’s split up and look for him. It’s a temple, so there’s no danger anyway.”
“Yes, Your Ladyship. I’ll go this way then.”
“Thanks, Gaston.”
Gaston nodded and disappeared briskly in the opposite direction.
Alright, I’ll go this way.
I headed towards the western building.
Unlike the main building, there were significantly fewer people coming and going here.
“But it’ll be easier to check faces.”
With a rough plan to take a quick look around, I circled near the building.
When I arrived at the back of the western building.
“Kyaah!”
A shrill scream came from somewhere.
“What was that? What’s going on?”
I hesitated for a moment but soon hurried toward the direction of the scream.
Though I lack a conscience, I’m not so depraved as to ignore a scream.
I found two people there.
One was an apprentice priestess, and the other was a middle-aged nobleman.
‘Huh. Would you look at that scumbag.’
Understanding the situation wasn’t hard.
“Please stop. Let me go.”
The woman pleaded with a tearful face.
“Hehe, it’s no fun if you keep resisting. When a noble like me takes a liking to you, you should be grateful and bow down.”
The man was spewing disgusting nonsense while holding onto the woman’s wrist.
It was clear that the older man was harassing the young woman who clearly wanted nothing to do with him.
I felt a surge of anger.
I remembered the times when I had worked part-time in the service industry. Those who would touch me inappropriately while saying, ‘Let’s have a drink together, it’s nothing.’
If you politely ask them to stop…
“Ah, you’ll regret acting like this! Thinking you’re something special, always playing hard to get…”
“Ah, yep. Exactly like that.”
Whether in my past life or now, it’s astonishing how their lines were all so similar.
Both their gazes suddenly turned to me with my unexpected entrance.
“And who the hell are you!”
The man, flustered now, stammered and yelled at me.
I grinned and clenched my fist.
And then.
“Me? Just a mere duke’s daughter. What about it?”
I cheerfully responded and struck the man’s arm with all my might.
Thwack!
“Ah!”
“Ugh!”
After a dull sound, two screams echoed.
The first from the man, the second from…
‘Wow? That really hurts?!’
I thought I committed murder, but it turns out his bones were quite solid!
He must not suffer from osteoporosis even at his age.
Admiring the man’s sturdy bones internally, I shook off my hand.
“You, you crazy woman!”
Pointing an oh-so-scary glare at me, the man started shrieking like a crazed monkey.
“My goodness, such harsh words.”
My soulless reply seemed to bewilder the man.
“Is it not you who’s being harsh here?! Who just strikes people out of the blue?!”
“Why? Am I not allowed?”
“Of course not! Haven’t you been taught any manners? Do you think it’s right to use violence against people?!”
“Look who’s talking…”
