The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588: The Saintess’ Commands (II)

The crowd immediately quieted down.

Rose slowly raised one hand, just as the Cardinal had done countless times before whenever he gave her blessing to the people of Sorex. The simple movement was so familiar that many of them instinctively lowered their heads and closed their eyes.

Some even brought their hands together in prayer.

Rose looked up at the Holy Temple behind her. Her eyes moved across the tall pillars, the sacred carvings, and the statues that had stood there for generations.

Not long after, she began to speak. "May every temple built in the name of the Gods fall."

Several people immediately opened their eyes and they looked at each other in confusion.

Rose continued before anyone could speak. "May every statue carrying their faces be broken. May every altar where their names have been praised be destroyed. May every sacred artifact created in their honor be crushed, burned, or buried until nothing remains."

The smiles on the people’s faces slowly disappeared. "Saintess?"

Rose ignored them. "May every book that praises them be burned. May every painting showing their faces be torn apart. May every symbol carrying their names be removed from the walls, the streets, and the homes of this kingdom."

Her voice remained soft. It almost sounded like a real blessing.

Rose lowered her gaze toward the people kneeling before her. "You asked me to pray for Sorex, so this is my prayer."

The courtyard had become completely silent.

"I pray that one day, no child born in this kingdom will recognize their faces."

Rose’s smile slowly disappeared, and suddenly, she began speaking quickly as if she were giving them a curse instead of a blessing. "I pray that no one will remember where their temples once stood. I pray that their names will disappear from your prayers, your books, and your history."

The people around Rose began to glare at her, their faces slowly filling with anger. To them, Rose had just insulted the Gods they had worshiped their entire lives.

Some were already thinking about capturing her and throwing her into the dungeon for what she had said.

"If the Cardinal were here, he would definitely punish you for saying such horrible things!"

"That Lycan really did ruin our Saintess!"

"She’s not our Saintess anymore!"

Rose barely reacted to any of their words. Their angry voices filled the courtyard, but she listened as though none of it mattered.

She simply took one step down the stairs and looked over the crowd, then she raised her voice. "I command you to destroy every temple belonging to these Gods!"

"Break their statues. Burn their paintings. Tear apart their holy books. Destroy their sacred artifacts and remove every symbol that proves they were ever worshiped here."

Her power spread through the crowd with every word. "Search every temple, every shrine, every home, and every building. If you find something carrying the name, face, or symbol of one of those Gods, destroy it."

The fear and confusion slowly disappeared from thousands of faces. At last, their eyes became empty.

"Do not stop until there is nothing left."

Primrose felt a chill run through her soul as she realized that Rose was not simply trying to destroy the temples.

She wanted to erase them.

She wanted to remove every sign that those Gods had ever been loved, worshiped, or even remembered by the people of Sorex.

Rose slowly lowered her hand. Then, with the same gentle voice she had once used to bless countless believers, she gave them her final command. "May the Gods receive the same mercy they gave me."

A small smile returned to her lips. "None at all."

For a moment, no one moved. Then the first sound of stone breaking echoed through the holy grounds.

Primrose turned toward the noise and saw several believers rushing toward one of the statues near the entrance.

They grabbed anything they could find and began striking the stone again and again. The same people who had prayed before that statue only moments ago were now trying to tear it down with their own hands.
