Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon
chapter-99

Ekaterina POV

The High Priest is waiting for him? Even after all this time, the prestige of the Dukes of Yurinova is really amazing.

Then, the chief priest led us to the inner sanctum of the temple, which is not open to the public. It reminded me of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, it was very glamorous.

The high priest was an old man with a long white beard and white hair. The high priest’s uniform was even more glamorous than the chief priest’s, it was at the level of the Pope. The colors of his garments were also yellow, white and gold—the colors of the sun.

“I’m sorry it’s been so long. I am pleased to report that the black dragon cedar you ordered is now available for harvesting, and I apologize for the delay.” (Alexei)

“With the appearance of the dragon, it cannot be helped. It is a pleasure to have His Excellency the Duke himself present.” (High Priest)

It’s hard to feel bad when the head of the company himself comes all the way to apologize.

However, Big Brother is not the least bit intimidated by a high priest who is about sixty years older than him. In fact, when his neon blue eyes flash at key points in the conversation, the other side even seems pressured.

Again, I wonder, are you really seventeen years old?

You said earlier that all you have to offer is your work, but it’s already a big deal that you can do so much. I have nothing but respect for you, even from an older woman’s perspective. I’m fascinated to see a man who can do so much work so easily. Yes, it’s indeed cute if he’s a little weak, it was very adorable. But after all, a man who is highly capable of doing many things is wonderful.

Then, the high priest led us to see a number of hidden treasures, including a thousand-year-old statue of Gods from the Astra era, which is not open to the public.

As expected, the Sun God was super handsome. He looks beautiful like a Greek sculpture. If it was in my previous life, it might have been a world heritage.

The origin of the treasures is also amazing, with the names of Peter the Great, his brothers, and generations of emperors and dukes appearing one after another. It was a paradise time for a historical fanatic woman like me.

I was told that Big Brother had booked this visit in advance because I am a history buff. I’m so glad that Big Brother, the original tsundere, was so kind to me.

…However, there are a lot of good men and women visiting the shrine over there, while I have this special treatment. I don’t like it because I’m just a fake noble inside, but it’s a class-based society, so it can’t be helped.

Is it a perfect form of inequality? Besides, I have to deal with building materials. I learned a lot from the exchange between Big Brother and the High Priest, who asked me to study the prices of building materials.

After that, at Alexei’s request, we parted ways with the High Priest, and the Chief Priest led us back to the same area as the regular worshippers. However, we were not in the Sun Shrine, the main shrine, but in the Palace of the Queen of the Night, the Spirit of the Evening Darkness, one of the guardian deities that few people visit.

The Sun God has many legends of love, but the Queen of the Night is said to be a chaste goddess who was loved by the Sun God, but refused to give herself over to an unfaithful man. Therefore, she only appears in the sky after the sun has left. Nevertheless, as a goddess related to the Sun God, she is enshrined in this Sun Temple.
