The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 589

Chapter 589: Your Hell Is My Heaven

In just one week, the entire Sorex Kingdom had become no different from hell.

Temples burned day and night, and before long, the flames spread beyond the holy grounds and reached the nearby homes and streets. Thick smoke covered the sky, while the sound of screaming and buildings falling apart could be heard throughout the kingdom.

The nobles were dragged from their homes, their wealth was taken, and they were executed one after another. They had been among the main reasons behind Rose’s suffering, and she had not forgotten a single one of them.

Back then, many of those nobles had treated her pain like entertainment.

None of them had ever imagined that one day, they would be the ones begging for mercy.

The wheel of fate had finally turned and this time, Rose was the one watching them suffer.

"The Cardinal is back!" one of the guards in the Holy Temple suddenly shouted. Like everyone else under Rose’s control, he had already lost the ability to think for himself. He was nothing more than her puppet now, waiting for her next command.

Rose slowly rose from her seat. She had ordered the chair to be placed directly in front of the ruined altar so she could sit there and watch everything fall apart with her own eyes.

She wanted to see the people who had once told her that suffering was simply part of being a Saintess. They had told her to endure the pain, accept it, and continue serving the Gods no matter how much it hurt.

Now, they were finally the ones suffering.

"He’s finally back?" Rose murmured, a faint smile appearing on her lips. "I thought he was too much of a coward to return to Sorex."

When Rose first arrived at the Holy Temple, the Cardinal happened to be outside the Kingdom of Sorex. He had been traveling to other kingdoms, trying to bring even more people into their faith.

Still, there was no way he could have remained unaware of what was happening in Sorex for long. After all, Rose had not limited her revenge to just one kingdom.

She had sent her puppets beyond Sorex as well, ordering them to destroy every temple belonging to the Gods wherever they could find one.

By now, news of the chaos should have already reached him.

Because of that, Rose was certain that the Cardinal must have secretly done something to save himself. However, for him to suddenly come to the Holy Temple was actually rather strange.

Still, Rose was more than happy to welcome him.

She stepped down from the altar and calmly walked toward the entrance of the Holy Temple. The guards immediately followed behind her without being told, their movements so quiet and obedient that they hardly seemed human anymore.

Outside, the once beautiful courtyard had become almost unrecognizable.

Broken statues were scattered across the ground, their faces smashed beyond recognition.
