Chapter 705: High Divine Circle

"This project was shut down on the exact day your name surfaced in the Secret Society."

Silence enveloped the cabin, letting Henrik’s words echo louder than they should have.

"High Divine Circle," Lola whispered, her brows tightening. "Isn’t that—"

"Another member of the founding families," Henrik answered with a shrug, then shot Atlas a look. "Didn’t you tell her about the five founding families before marriage? Or did you trap her first through marriage before coming clean about the Secret Society? She seemed a little lost here."

Atlas automatically ignored Henrik and met Lola’s eyes.

"It is," he said, making Lola’s mouth form a small "o."

During her first month in the Order, Lola had studied the entire structure of the Secret Society. Of course, she was familiar with this so-called High Divine Circle.

From what she knew, according to history, aside from the Order — which had once been more or less a mercenary organization — the High Divine Circle was also the only "family" that wasn’t noble.

The House of Bellemonte and the House of Monreal were once recognized as noble families under the empire. As for the Tribe of Talmaru, they were also considered such, though they didn’t fall under the same traditional system as the other two.

And the High Divine Circle?

They used to be a church — a major faction within one — and even now, they still belonged to the Church.

They didn’t control nations like the other families, but their influence was massive. And unlike the other four families, they weren’t hidden. Known for controlling the Holy Land, the world recognized it as a major pilgrimage site.

This had surprised Lola during her lessons. She had known about the Church, but she hadn’t known it was actually part of the Secret Society. Still, in a way, it made sense.

"But... weren’t the other two members of the council also from the High Divine Circle?" Lola blurted out, pointing out what Henrik and Atlas already knew.

The Secret Society’s council consisted of seven members, one representing each family. The Church had its own representative, but the other two were more or less chairmen of the council from the same church.

Since the Church was considered the most neutral, the four families’ predecessors had agreed to this setup. Their main role was to enforce council rules and intervene during conflicts. For years, this council had been neutral even toward the Church and didn’t show any favoritism. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"This is bad," Henrik hummed as he casually leaned back. "If the High Divine Circle wanted the House of Bellemonte and the Order to fight each other, then that means..."

He trailed off, blinking as he thought through his words. He had been thinking about this since his discovery, and if he were honest, it worried him.

"They truly think so little of my house," he clicked his tongue, irritated and insulted. "Hah! How insulting!"
