Chapter 328 Forgiveness

The Riga Temple covers a vast area, and there is a considerable distance between the VIP residence where Qin Mo lives and the secretariat where specific management affairs are handled. Qin Mo and Leif are currently walking along this route.

The war was about to begin, and the entire Great Temple was filled with busy people. However, when the busy people on the roadside saw the two of them, they all stopped in their tracks and looked at Qin Mo and Leif in astonishment.

Qin Mo's clothes were designed by himself, simple yet luxurious, and both the materials and workmanship showed the essence of Eastern culture. Paired with his handsome face, they attracted countless eyes.

But that wasn't what surprised everyone. The girl holding Qin Mo's arm was the center of attention. The girl was beautiful, and although she looked somewhat haggard, her delicate, sickly beauty aroused a certain attraction in the opposite sex. Moreover, she was wearing the special attire of a holy servant, which made some people feel that they could take advantage of her.

Holy servants are those who dedicate everything to the gods. As long as they are useful enough to the temple, holy servants will serve them... in all sorts of ways.

The news spread quickly among the crowd, sparking a flurry of discussion. People finally learned the identities of the two people, and all sorts of gossip began to buzz around them like flies in summer.

"Leve, don't care about other people's opinions. After you change your identity, you will encounter all kinds of people and opinions—greedy, evil, and admiring. You must learn to ignore these opinions. A strong person should not be afraid of any gossip." Qin Mo felt Leve trembling in her arm and gently instructed her.

“Your Highness…I…I know, my grandfather was a baron, and my mother taught me a lot…but…I have never been watched by so many people before….”

Leif kept her head down and followed Qin Mo's steps. The pointing and whispering around them made the girl wish she could burrow into Qin Mo's arms and never come out.

Qin Mo caused quite a stir last night. Many people witnessed his conflict with Winsley, and a formal knight even lost his life as a result. As the source of the incident, the young girl, Leif, gained a lot of attention.

"Did you know? This holy servant came to the temple to atone for her sins, but the lords there refused to accept her. So she seduced that Great Xia man, and nobody expected that this Great Xia man was actually a prince... a prince! How could such a noble person fall for this sinner..."

"Hmph! You don't know, do you? The rules of the Great Xia nobility are numerous. This holy servant could never marry into this prince's family; at most, she can only be his mistress..."

A faint voice rang out, silencing everyone around. "Maria doesn't even need to bow to the Earl, and the Marquis has to fawn over her. She... is nothing more than a mistress."

Maria was the mistress of the King of France, and thanks to this status, she thrived throughout the West and was the envy of many women in the West.

“Maria is of noble birth; her grandfather was the Consul of Orleans. How can this slut compare to Maria?”

The soft voice spoke again: "Reve's father is a knight and her grandfather is a baron. Perhaps that's why she was chosen."

The girl who spoke had golden hair and straight legs, but she didn't understand the Great Xia language. That's why Qin Mo didn't choose her, but instead chose Leif, who went with her to serve Qin Mo. In the Western Continent, only children of noble families could come into contact with the Great Xia language. This natural gap caused her and Qin Mo to miss each other.

The Temple Secretariat was the place where the Temple managed its internal affairs. Every major temple had this institution, and it was headed by at least one official priest.

When Priest Hein of the Secretariat saw Qin Mo leading Leif in, he immediately stood up, bowed, and asked kindly, "Is there anything I can help you with, Your Highness Qin Mo?"

Qin Mo was taken aback, then realized that her bad reputation had spread very quickly!

"Yesterday I consulted Her Highness Heatherine, and she said that I could use my spoils to atone for her sins!" Qin Mo's expression was gentle and modest, yet tinged with indifference, befitting a nobleman of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"I wonder what reason Your Highness Qin Mo gave to atone for her sins?" Haien asked Qin Mo while instructing his apprentice priests to find the file on Leif.

"oh!...."

Qin Mo hadn't expected this part. He thought for a moment and said, "Reve helped me wash away the fatigue of battle and soothed my violent heart that had become violent from fighting. She made a significant contribution to my killing of the orcs."

Hain's eyes lit up, and he deeply memorized Qin Mo's two sentences. In the future, when instructing those special holy servants with impure thoughts, this set of words could perfectly explain their doubts and make them feel that their way of atonement was useful and sacred.

Reeves's file was quickly brought over. After carefully reviewing it, Hein breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't an unforgivable crime, he could make the decision, and thus wouldn't offend Qin Mo.

"Your Highness Qin Mo, Leif came to the temple to atone for her father's sins. Her father is a knight who has made a mistake, so she can use spoils of war to atone for her sins. I wonder... what kind of spoils of war do you intend to use to atone for her sins?"

Hein tried his best to choose his words carefully so that Qin Mo wouldn't have any emotional fluctuations. Yesterday, Qin Mo took half the life of a formal knight with one kick and then was completely unharmed. What a ruthless person!

Qin Mo glanced at Hein but didn't get any useful information from his eyes, so she tentatively took out a pair of orc general's fangs and placed them on Hein's table.
