The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 99
The founding festival of the Wilentia Empire was held with grandeur.
First, under the leadership of the priests of the Ishtar Temple, the imperial royals and nobles gathered at the vast outdoor plaza packed with commoners to perform a ritual offering prayers to the goddess Ishtar.
Afterward, festivities erupted throughout the capital, and within the imperial palace, a lavish three-day banquet was hosted for nobles who had journeyed even as far as Somnia.
As the empire’s most important national event, it was always celebrated splendidly. It had become so renowned and filled with spectacles that tourists even came from abroad just to witness it.
‘I heard that even during past wars, they never once skipped the founding festival.’
Since the nation was established by a hero empowered by the gods to vanquish sin, the founding festival carried even deeper significance.
After all, even the Emperor was a descendant of that very hero chosen by the divine to eradicate evil.
Among all the proceedings of the founding festival, the ritual offering prayers to Ishtar invariably drew the public’s keenest attention.
The role of ascending the altar to lead this prayer ceremony was considered the greatest honor of all.
In every founding festival I had attended thus far, priests of the Ishtar Temple had always alternated in presiding over the altar rites.
From history books, I recalled that centuries ago—before their bloodline vanished—descendants of the Apellite Family had once held this duty.
The Apellites were said to be specially chosen by Ishtar herself for direct communion…
Realizing this, I finally understood why the priests, calling me their “Savior,” were so desperate to entrust me with the ceremony.
‘Well, I’m not doing it.’
As a representative of one of the Four Great Houses, I took my seat in the upper tier, which offered a clear view over the entire plaza.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
