I don't really see this as Ezekiel saying Jeanette doesn't matter to him. I see it as him telling her that he is in love with Athy and Jeanette is no longer the most important person in his life. You have to remember that he spent his life catering to Jeanette and her neediness.
If I had to guess, the spirits are punishing the humans for her death in her previous life. That's why the saints are so weak now.
Thank you for the translation
Ahh I see, she wanted to make sure the heir was her daughter so she could fully control the money and estate and put it towards her son becoming emperor. What a snake.
I used to really like this one but the story seems like it'll never get back to the actual plot. These side stories and characters are really boring and I wish the author would get to the point.
