Chapter 1995 Extra 2

Sasha quickly tugged Sebastian’s hand to lead him over to the spot. To their surprise, it was a tiny mound. There was nothing on it but a rare sacred fig planted beside it. Its thick trunk and luxuriant leaves protected the mound firmly.

“This was planted by Master. In fact, he planted this before I came to this temple. Ever since I came here, I had been seeing him meditating here day and night.” “Why did he come here to meditate?”

“That’s because the old master of the temple says there’s something buried under this place that belongs to Master’s old friend. He had been doing this for decades until you two showed up,” the monk said truthfully.

Sasha froze. As she turned around, she saw that Sebastian’s face had been drained of color, and he was staring fixedly at the mound. He was so still as if his feet were rooted to the ground.

The old friend was, of course, none other than Frieda. Sasha could not help but wonder how Shin had endured all the pain for so many years.

Rather than telling the world that Eddie had forced him to stay in the temple, Shin had chosen to imprison himself here to atone for his sins, repent and drown in guilt.

Perhaps while he was meditating in front of the sacred fig, he had wondered if Frieda would not have had such a tragic end if he did not insist on marrying her.

Sadly, there was no turning back.

Sebastian went over to the mound slowly and lowered his head to see a stone that was polished until it was smooth. Finally, he shut his eyes and asked, “So, is he free from his misery now?”

“Sebastian, Master had already resigned to his fate long ago. He suffered a lot of persecution when he was forced to become the devil of Aquene Temple. The only reason he could hang on till now was his strong will and worry for you. Now that both matters have been resolved, it was only a matter of time before he passed away,” the monk said calmly.
