Devil's Bible

Chapter 304 Betrayer

Agnelli sat in the carriage, facing Emerald.

Outside, Moritolus drove the carriage like a puppet.

There was no sound inside the carriage; even breathing seemed to have lessened, becoming barely audible.

Aimelu was no longer as lively as before. She propped her face up with one hand and looked at the scenery outside the carriage.

Meanwhile, Agnelli was also trying to find a reason to talk to Emerald, but he didn't know what to say.

After a long while, he finally found a topic, a subject he didn't want to touch.

"Will we be able to see Nemes this time we go to Nanping?" As soon as this question was asked, Aimelu's expression immediately changed.

"Perhaps," Aimelu said, her head bowed, her body trembling slightly.

They were very close at first, and she admired Nemus, who radiated light from head to toe.

Perhaps they will be together soon.

only……

“Are you afraid, Agnelli?” Amélu asked.

"I'm afraid." At this moment, Agnelli's confident and mature facade had also vanished.

Those who know him well know that Agnelli is a coward, and his maturity and confidence are all imitations of Nemes.

This remains true even today.

“I love you, Emerald.” Agnelli confessed, but when he looked up, he only saw Emerald’s fixed gaze and her furrowed brows.

That aura of disgust made Agnelli very embarrassed, but he had already gotten used to it.

“I know it’s because of Nemes that you think I lied to you.”

"But I have no choice. I have a family behind me, and I have expectations of others."

“Most importantly, I was jealous of him.” Perhaps because Amélu had seen her worst side, Agnelli began to analyze why she had betrayed Nemus: “He was so radiant, so captivating, and your eyes were always on him at that time.”

“I’m jealous of him. Even though he pulled me out of my slump, I’m still jealous of him.”

"So when the pressure came, I couldn't hold on, but I don't regret it." Agnelli looked at Emerald with red eyes and revealed her true feelings.

Agnelli was the second son of a nobleman, and he was a neglected individual from childhood to adulthood.

Everyone's attention was focused on his eldest brother, who was quite talented, but dared not compete with the eldest son.

So gradually, pretending to be a pig became the real pig.

It was Nemes who gave him a hand and pulled him out of that situation.

He admired Nemes and wanted to be like him.

However, it was discovered that he could never be that pure.

If Nemus is the sun he cannot reach, then Emerald is the goddess who forever follows the sun.

He wanted to win the favor of the goddess.

So he did all this, but he didn't expect that even after his strength increased significantly due to his betrayal of Nemus, there would still be a barrier between him and Emerald.

“After all, I’m just a poor imitator,” Agnelli said with self-deprecation.

Aimelu looked at Agnelli and simply shook her head: "Don't blame yourself too much. In Nemus's situation at the time, everyone wanted him dead."

“You fought back, but you couldn’t withstand the pressure,” Amel comforted Agnelli. At the time, several factions within the church couldn’t tolerate Nemus.

The question was so pointed that everyone shrank back.

They are not people living in a vacuum; they have families and everything they own.

“At least you didn’t betray him, and you even pleaded for him.” Agnelli shook his head upon hearing Emerald’s words of comfort, sinking into dejection. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Emerald, and simply pondered his future.

They weren't really sure what to expect when they were sent here.

Although the church had given them a trump card, they weren't sure if they could actually suppress Nemus. Just like when he couldn't withstand the pressure and betrayed Nemus, he naturally couldn't withstand the pressure now either.

However, since he was imitating Nemes, he had to show his 'fearlessness' in front of outsiders, and he didn't even show much of the related emotions, as if he really had no fear.

Once only a few of them remained, the panic in their hearts could no longer be contained.

Agnelli didn't speak again, and Emerald also stopped talking. She looked out the window, and countless scenes flashed before her eyes, but her eyes seemed utterly empty.

Everything from the past flashed before her eyes.

Nems' figure seemed to appear not far away.

Aimelu's eyes widened suddenly, and then her whole body trembled.

"Wait!" Aimelu exclaimed, only to find that she was now the only one left in the carriage.

She hurried to the front of the carriage and lifted the curtain, only to find that Moritorus, who was driving the carriage, had also disappeared.

Horses, unmanned, galloped along the trade route.

He then rushed directly into a wheat field.

The earthy and grassy smell made Aimelu feel nauseous.

She quickly cast a spell to protect herself and then climbed out of the carriage.

"Is it a dream?" Aimelu couldn't help but wonder, looking around, but everything felt terrifyingly real.

Before she could think, a figure slowly approached from a distance.

That posture, that demeanor, that face...

"Nemus!" Emerald exclaimed in surprise.

Her expression changed slightly. She jumped off the carriage and landed by the roadside, looking at Nemus with a mixture of emotions in her eyes, as if tears were glistening in them.

"I'm so glad you're alright."

"You should leave quickly, Moritulus is completely different from before."

"Once he locks onto you, you can't escape!"

Nemus looked at Amélu, who was worried about him, but his expression never changed; he just kept looking at him like that.

Aimelu and Nemus exchanged glances, their eyes filled with increasing turmoil.

However, it was at this moment that the strong shaking woke Aimee up.

"wrong!"

As she regained consciousness, Aimee opened her eyes and found Agnelli not far away, looking at her with concern.

She herself remained in the carriage.

The carriage was also moving normally.

Some houses have appeared ahead, and they are almost at Nanping.

Aimelu took a deep breath, gave a sweet smile, and told Agnelli that she was alright.
