He Became the Only Ally of the Abandoned Warrior

Chapter 89

Originally, Agreus was a devout priest who faithfully served the goddess.

Born as the third son of a fallen noble family, like Luciena, he turned to religion to reduce the mouths to feed in his household, and he found that studying theology and performing good deeds suited him well.

He dedicated himself to helping and educating people, leading them to enlightenment, and before he realized it, he had become a cardinal at a young age.

"You are almost guaranteed to be the next pope."

"How could someone with such lowly origins...!"

But rapid success is always accompanied by jealousy and envy.

Dirty rumors began to circulate about the young and handsome cardinal.

"They say Cardinal Agreus seduces female believers with his looks and indulges in reckless pleasure. That's why he always goes to the remote areas for his missionary work—there’s less risk of consequences."@@@@

"No, I heard he's into men."

She told him she left her crime-ridden hometown to survive.

“I too am a selfish man who gave my body to the goddess just to escape my own hunger.”

The words he meant to comfort her gradually turned into his own laments of loneliness and sorrow.

Before he knew it, Agreus found himself not listening to a confession, but sobbing in the arms of the priestess.

“We are alike, aren't we? Both alone.”

The girl with the beautiful brown hair was named Diane. She too had been a devout priestess, but soon, the two of them crossed the line.

The morning after they comforted each other through the night, Agreus felt a powerful energy stirring within him during the early morning mass and manifested divine power.

"Oh, heavens!"

"It's divine power! The divine power the goddess has bestowed upon him!"
