Chapter 779: Chapter 305: Fist Strength is the Real Power_2

"""

"Her Holiness, come to me once a month, and I will help stabilize your self. Believe me, time will prove everything. Just focus on being yourself," Wayne promised.

Warmth flooded Anastasia’s heart, and she nodded gently.

Seeing her improving, Wayne asked, "Her Holiness, why did you suddenly come to Lundan, and even become allies with the Queen?"

Anastasia replied with a wry smile, "Mister Wayne, I didn’t want to come at first, but my thoughts made me long for this city..."

There was nothing particularly desirable about Lundan; it was Wayne she longed for, but she couldn’t openly say that and hoped Wayne would figure it out himself.

Anastasia came to Lundan not just because of her inner yearning for faith but also for another important reason.

The Dark Goddess had erased parts of Anastasia’s memories, implanted suggestions that intensified her longing for faith, and worsened her condition, making her so restless that she chose to come to Lundan.

Anastasia was unaware of this, only knowing that she must be broken, often fantasizing during broad daylight about being embraced by faith and doing shameful things.

This is simply called daydreaming.

If that’s the case during the day, one can only imagine what goes on at night.

These were the handiwork of the Dark Goddess, who was skilled at torturing and manipulating the human heart, having previously done so to Austin, and now Anastasia, leaving a trigger and waiting for them to be consumed by desire.

Therefore, although Anastasia’s symptoms were milder than Saina’s, the cause of her symptoms was more serious. Wayne could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and more chaos lay ahead.

Unaware of this, both felt their condition was being curbed, and everything seemed to be improving.

By Wayne’s side, Anastasia couldn’t help but have some wild thoughts, her gaze flitting from his eyes to his mouth, feeling parched and tormented.

She took the initiative to say, "Mister Wayne, establishing a Dark Church stronghold was a task I set for myself. Whether to cooperate with the Queen is not important. If you object, I can refuse her right now."

No need. If you can find a reason for yourself, there is still value in trying to save you.

The day you don’t even bother to find a reason, you will have become Saina.

Wayne thought, not shattering Anastasia’s delusions, and instead continued, "The Queen and the Dark Church have formed an alliance to find the Dark Knight, with the first target being the Tulip Family, followed by the Life Alliance and Heavenly Father’s Court. You know all this, right?"

"Yes, you come from the Tulip Family and are the sole heir of the Lando Family; I’ve already inquired about all this."

Anastasia explained with difficulty, "I didn’t want to agree at first, but to gain more information and considering that the Dark Church really needs the support of the Royal Family to establish itself smoothly, that’s why I..."

"Didn’t tell you immediately, there were also other reasons..."

Anastasia’s troubled demeanor was in stark contrast to her behavior in the Icebound Continent; Wayne knew what she was struggling with and, in the mindset of caring for the sick, he didn’t shamelessly force her to reveal the truth.

"Anastasia, do you know who the Dark Knight is?"

"Not at the moment."

Anastasia shook her head slightly, her intuition telling her that Wayne knew and was perhaps on good terms with him.

"The Dark Knight is Austin Lando."

"Your father is the Dark Knight?"

Anastasia was a bit surprised, followed by a great deal of astonishment. According to accurate information she had obtained, Wayne was Austin’s illegitimate son.

That wasn’t an issue; they looked similar in photos, had similar temperaments, and even their hair and dress were strikingly alike; anyone would believe their relationship without a doubt.

Wayne: "..."

For Anastasia’s thoughts, he no longer wanted to explain. If one dug deeper, Philark was largely to blame for his resemblance to Austin.

Philark, the former Butler of the Lando Manor, had carefully groomed Wayne to follow Austin’s example in every way.

To outsiders unaware of the truth, this seemed like the proverbial case of ’the toad wanting a hair from its back’—impossible by nature.

Anastasia, oblivious to the truth, firmly believed they were father and son. What truly surprised her was other information from the reports—that Austin’s wife, Hefei, was the Naturalism Church High Priest.

She had met her in the Icebound Continent, where she claimed to be Wayne’s teacher and backup mount.

As far as she knew, not just anyone could ride a Giant Dragon. Furthermore, the third backup mount, Veronica, was Wayne’s fiancée and Hefei’s daughter, making the relationships within this family...

Anastasia sorted it out and lamented the tangled web, feeling that the Lando Family truly deserved to be Lundan’s old Union Jack, fitting her stereotype of nobility perfectly.

Wayne: (눈‸눈)

The woman has already gone bad, her mind full of filthy ideas, especially those that break taboos. How does she resemble a Holy Maiden now!

Where’s the Dean of Discipline? Come and manage your people!

To prevent deepening Anastasia’s misunderstandings, Wayne didn’t explain further, instead saying, "Telling you the identity of the Dark Knight is to prevent you from stumbling upon him by mistake. As for the Queen’s plan, you just need to act as the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church. Don’t make contact with the Dark Knight."

"Mister Wayne, isn’t he your father?"

Anastasia was puzzled. The Queen’s plan meant Death, with the Dark Church’s two Knights putting pressure on untamed powers within their territory. Logically and emotionally, Wayne should inform Austin; keeping silent suggested...

A power struggle within the family?

As the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church, Anastasia was bound to side with the Dark Knight, and since Wayne was also a Dark Knight, she sided with him.
