Rebirth: Childhood friend of the heroine

Chapter 183- Plotting(2)

Sarah was in her room, reading a book while lying down on her bed.

Although it was not healthy for her to be awake at this hour, she couldn't sleep right away because of all the things going on inside her head.

The story Alex shared about the Curse and the side effects he has been inflicted with by using the Curse's power. All of it had left her restless.

That's why she has been re

He was frozen at his spot and every person in the room felt such a daunting aura radiating from the lady who generally doesn't show her emotions.

"I suggest you choose your words wisely." That was not a warning but a threat…and that was felt by every single person around her.

Cristopher stepped forward before speaking in a calm voice, "Even if you find it displeasing, the fact cannot remain hidden that Alex tried to assault Ruby."

Sarah frowned as she glanced at the girl whom she sent to deliver some milk to Alex.

The look in her eyes clearly told that the girl was quite traumatized. Her clothes were ripped and there was faint bruising on her cheeks, as if someone grabbed her face by brute force.

However, she didn't ask the girl anything and turned toward Alex.

Cristopher barely held himself from smirking as he found the angered Saintess turning toward Alex.

"Sarah, I-" Celestria was about to say something, but Sarah raised her hand and shook her head.

Celestria turned silent and nodded.

Everyone watched in anticipation as the Saintess turned toward Alex.

However, rather than questioning him, she suddenly raised her hand, her hand glowing with a greenish hue as she moved it above Alex's head, however, regardless of how much she tried, she wasn't able to get rid of the drug he had consumed.

"You need to do justice, Your Holiness! Someone dared to assault the server of God in this holy place and you are-"

"Shut up." Sarah bluntly said, shutting up Christopher completely.

Turning toward the oh-so-pitiful girl, Sarah asked, "What kind of drug did you add to his drink?"

Ruby's eyes widened but soon she averted her gaze, and moisture began appearing in her eyes.

Christopher was also taken aback by the fact that his trick was so easily caught…no, it was just a guess!

"What drug? Can't you tell that Alex attacked her?" He voiced, in an aggravated tone.

Soon the Pope entered the room, and instantly Christopher turned toward him, "Father I-" However, not even the man heard him and instantly headed toward Alex.

The same pattern was followed as the Pope checked on Alex…and soon a frown marred his face as he said, "The green-due poison…it makes one lose focus and sense of direction for a while…however, there is definitely something else in it."

Turning around, he said, "If it had been just the poison, then he should have returned to his senses by now…but there is definitely far more severe mixed in his body against which Alex is trying to fight but failing miserably."

Sarah's face grew pale upon hearing that but before she could have asked Christopher, everyone saw the figure of a certain person escaping the room.

It was Ruby.
