Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Chapter 50 Her Beautiful Wish (2/2)

Darren also looked up at his father, opening his curious wide eyes.

Byrne wanted to embrace his wife but didn’t want to wet her clothes, so he forcefully held back.

He took a deep breath and explained, “It’s nothing, just encountered some matters, so I came back early.”

Margaret quietly looked at her husband for a long time, then gave a slight nod.

“Hmm, as long as you’re okay, I won’t pry into your affairs.”

Yet, Byrne really wanted to ask why she would attend a tea party on a rainy day.

Once the three of them were back home, he finally couldn’t suppress the deepest doubt in his heart any longer while changing clothes and gently inquired:

“Margaret, why would you go to a tea party in this kind of weather, what exactly were you doing?”

Margaret answered offhandedly:

“Oh, during the days you were away, Lady Isaac talked to me a lot about the faith of the Moon Lady, all about how people with power should aid the weak, women, and children, and I found it quite reasonable.”

“The Moon Lady is indeed one of the kindest and most considerate deities towards the vulnerable, it makes one unable to resist wanting to worship and give thanks.”

“What did you just say?”

Byrne immediately froze, his eyes filled with immense shock and disbelief.

He swallowed instinctively and glanced at his son’s hand, which originally had a red brand but had long since been concealed with medicinal solution by himself.

Margaret paused for a moment and continued with a smile:

“Isn’t your family a follower of the Lord of Salvation? He and the Moon Lady have a pretty good relationship, plus, Irene loves children so much, she shouldn’t have any objections, right?”

She looked at the silent Byrne and said, puzzled:

“Byrne, what’s wrong with you? I felt that your look just now was a bit scary.”

Byrne lowered his head and stayed silent for a long time, so long that Margaret’s heart gradually began to rise with unease, then she heard him say in an extremely deep voice:

“I will not control you, Margaret, however, Darren cannot go there anymore, as the future head of the Fischer family, he must worship the ‘Lord of Salvation’ together with Irene and me.”

Since marrying Byrne, Margaret had never seen her gentle husband speak with such a firm and unquestionable tone, she frowned for a long time but still nodded.

“Alright, I understand, I’m sorry, I should have discussed this matter with you beforehand.”

“Only, Cyart people’s laws and culture permit the freedom to believe in any deity from the True Gods Church, as long as one’s faith isn’t in a heretical Evil God, I thought there shouldn’t be a need to speak in advance with you, I oversimplified it.”

She paused and then continued:

“I’m sorry, but I can promise you with my life, I would never let Darren come into contact with those wicked heretics, he will grow up free and happy under the embrace of the True Gods, that’s my only wish.”

Margaret suddenly saw Byrne lower his head to show a bitter smile, struggled to speak, and then with reddened eyes, enveloped her in a deep hug.

“It’s okay now, Byrne, what exactly happened to you? Why don’t you tell me what happened in Fein City?”

She comforted her frail but strong husband, slowly saying:

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen here, the grand True Gods possess supreme power, protecting us from foreign enemies and evil cultists.”

The man nodded slowly, saying calmly:

“Yes, I also believe in the power of the gods, Margaret… I love you.”

Just that some dark secrets, hidden in the deepest part of my heart, you will never know in this lifetime.
