Chapter 208 - CATHERINE'S DOUBT

Ovior mentioned, "The same temple where all of your Saints stayed for generations too!"

Catherine furrowed her eyebrows. She asked,?"How do you know that information?"

Her voice was a bit alarmed. She had a reason for it.

Mostly, information regarding Saints and Holy Temple would be considered sacred.

Even the public didn't know much about the inside news of the Holy Temple let alone the Saint's whereabouts.

That's why it was impossible for any foreigner to know where the Saints lived for generations.

Years ago, the King of Utahill made the most extraordinary castle for the Saint whom he was in love with.

However, the Saint couldn't get married.

The reason was simple.

Goddess Juvena was known as a virgin who loved every living being. She had no romantic feelings for humans. That helped her to be selfless and just.

It was the very point why the Saints couldn't be in any romantic relationships.

And, generations after generations, they were doing their best to help the people in need and kept the harmony and balance between hunger for power and peace.

Many Saints were known to live in the castle that was made for their predecessor.

Because of that, people had speculated that the Saint who was in the highest position in Utahill would live in the Royal Castle.

What they didn't know, even though some Saints lived in the castle to show off, they spent most of their time in the first temple of Goddess Juvena since they couldn't indulge themselves in luxury and become greedy.

People hardly remembered the first temple after the Great War.

Catherine was alert because Ovior seemed so sure that the Saints lived in the first temple.

Ovior only then realized that he made a mistake.

'I have to come up with an excuse.' He pondered really really hard before coming up with an idea.

He blurted out, "Merlin used to study in Utahill about religion before he came to Tybu to become a wizard. That's why he knew that the Saints would live in the first temple."

'Merlin, please forgive me for selling you out,' he apologized in his heart.

Catherine let her guard down. Those who did higher studies in religion knew a little bit of the first temple.

She was relieved. "Oh so, that's how it is. I was wondering how you knew that piece of information. When we were children, we were taught about the first temple.

She tried to recall, "If I remember correctly, Ver asked the Senior Brother about the location of the first temple. She often dropped her work and went out. She wanted to see the first temple with her own eyes.

"The Senior Brother then told her that the temple had disappeared from the humans' eyes a long time ago. No one could see it except for the Saint. I guess people need Saint's power to locate it."

She paused and then offered an apology, "I'm sorry that I couldn't help you with this."

Ovior shook his head. "No, no, it's completely fine. At least we know that only the Saint knows where the temple is situated."

Catherine inquired, "So, what was it about? You made me curious."

She pretended to be calm but she was dying to find out for what reason he needed the location of the first temple, the holiest place in the world.

"If you had enough fun, come back immediately. Only then you will be briefed about it," Ovior's reply was quick and blunt.

Afterward, he quickly turned off the device to avoid any more interrogation.

Looking at the dim device, Catherine sighed.

'I wanted to spend more time with Vincent but I'm so curious. Is something going to happen to the temple? Ver must be involved in this. Since she is with Arthur, I can leave her here.'

Upon deciding what she wanted to do, Catherine wrote a letter to Veronica. After that, she sealed it properly.

She packed her bag and was ready to head out.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

She opened the door and found Vincent standing there with a tray of food.

He gave her a brilliant smile and then greeted her warmly, "Good morning, Catherine. Did you sleep well? I hope I didn't disturb your resting time."

"Not at all. Please come in." Catherine moved away to let him enter the room.

"Thank you." Vincent entered the room and placed the tray of food on the tea table.

Then, he looked around and asked, "Are you leaving already? Didn't you say you would leave in the evening?"

Catherine replied, "Something came up. I have to move to the capital city before evening. My friend's husband came. He will accompany her. So, don't freak out if you see her with a man."

She sat on the couch and Vincent sat beside her. He opened the lids of the pots and delicious smells touched her nostrils.

There were some soups, loaves of bread, eggs, sausages and desserts.

Catherine was touched. "Thank you for the meal. I hardly had time to eat fancy breakfast like this."

Vincent was pleased with her reaction. "I've told the kitchen to prepare the meal especially for you. I hope it suits your taste."

Catherine assured him by saying, "Don't you worry. It definitely will. I'm just sad that I can't have this kind of meal every day."

Vincent gently held her hand. "It's possible if you come here whenever you have free time. You see, it's my family's resort and I'm the only heir. My mother takes care of the accounts and my father comes up with ideas to bring more customers here.

"That's why I have to be on the desk and sometimes receive guests on their behalf. I can hardly have enough time to relax, let alone go outside the mountains."

Catherine could feel him. She was like that when she lived in the temple. Still, she sneaked out often, unlike Veronica.

As for Vincent, this was his family business. He couldn't afford to be irresponsible and leave it to someone else.

She looked at him and stated, "Vincent, I have a suggestion."
