I’ll Just Be Friends With My Ex-Husband - Chapter 86-1

Somewhere in this place, the white snake would have locked the souls up. Louella didn’t know how to get out of there and find it. No matter how much she tried to look, there were too many people watching her.

Going to the toilet was too classic and the time to get there was also limited. Louella glanced at Gerald and he didn’t look very well. Gerald, who harbored the black snake, better not enter the temple.

However, it was clear that the energy was colliding as he was forced to come in like this. It seemed like the black snake couldn’t use its power. As Louella was waiting with the Crown Prince, she came out of the shrine.

“Good morning, Crown Prince.”

“Long time no see, guardian of Candidum.” The Crown Prince exchanged greetings with a priest.

Then it was our turn. The priest’s sharp gaze returned to us.

“Who will be in the temple today?” Louella could see that he was looking at her and asking on purpose.

She pouted her lips and stepped forward. “Instead, it’s me.”

“It’s Lady Louella. The others are present as witnesses.” Why did it feel so strange to see the smiling face of a priest?

The temple itself was reluctant to recall the past that she had forgotten, which Louella did not know until it was revealed the other day.

The priest climbed onto the platform. It had a certain strange vibe in the air when it climbed on the platform. That platform was only for the Imperial Family. The platform where the Queen-to-be or the Crown Princess would be decided.

What made him do that? Maybe it was a platform designed to filter out those associated with the black snake.

“Get on the platform. It will determine whether Lady Louella is eligible for the Crown Princess position. As you all know, if you are qualified, the platform on which Lady Louella climbs will rise up, and if not, it will sink down.” The priest’s voice rang through the hall.

Gerald grabbed the tip of her finger. Compared to Louella’s hands, her belly was covered with a big hand as if it was completely protective of her.

“Are you okay? You don’t look very well.” Rather, it seemed that Louella had something else she needed to be worried about.

Gerald shook his head. “It’s all right. Everything’s gonna be fine, Louella.” There was no fear in his eyes.

Gerald whispered in a low voice. “I’ll protect you no matter what.”

Does that make sense? What if it was Louella who was the only one protecting him? Gerald, what about you? And Flora and my mom? Who would protect them? What she knew for sure about Gerald was that he only sees one. Only one person.

Instead of refuting, he nodded. Louella let go of Gerald’s hand and climbed onto the podium where the Minister’s Hall was. The prince’s greedy eyes swept past her.

Unlike the first time, the impression of the Crown Prince seemed to be extremely different. His eyes seemed to have become murky. The way up the platform alone did not feel that scary or lonely for her.

Was it because there were people watching her back? And well, the predicted outcome. She took a deep breath and climbed on the scale.

Tick. The scale began to move with a creepy sound. Louella could see the Crown Prince’s eyes getting deeper. What the hell was he thinking?

Black Uroboros paced back and forth with an anxious face. As soon as Gerald entered the temple, the Black Uroboros was kicked out.

The defensive power that the White Uroburos had could not be overcome by the black snake as it had not yet regained all of its strength.

The shock would have been great because he suddenly bounced off Gerald’s body. It was as if he was tearing himself. This is why I said that we shouldn’t go. The black snake couldn’t stop Gerald, who insisted on going.

They were just people who had to be ordinary people. Those who, like others, should live a normal life without getting involved in this kind of trouble, of course. However, he was caught in a fight between a black snake and a white snake and was in a position that could possibly turn the world upside down.

The white snake may not know, but the black snake had a deep sense of responsibility and affection for the creatures he created. Even if he didn’t, he cared for Gerald and sympathized with him, who was inevitably caught up in an unlucky fate. So it wanted to protect Louella.

He wanted to ask Louella for a difficult favor, it would be filled with a thorny path no one could ever choose without any hardship. In the end, all of this resulted from his mistake as he was not able to stop his brother’s jealousy.
