As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

"That would be great, my lord."

The old messenger left with a thousand thanks.

"Evidently the mastermind behind the scenes is still at ease in the academy, but I can only stay at home and do nothing."

She sighed and went back into the house, and put the materials on the table.

"It's not okay to procrastinate like this."

She secretly thought:

"We must find a way to expose the true face of that woman!"

Before she could sit still, the doorbell rang again.

"Strange, why are there so many guests today?"

She went to the door and saw an unexpected visitor standing there.

"—Forgive me for interrupting, Your Excellency Garcia."

Sirence's butler appeared outside the door and bowed politely to her:

"Our master has a letter that he wants to deliver to you..."

The butler pressed the brim of his hat, revealing his white teeth:

"I wonder if you can accept it?"

Chapter 34 On the Importance of Interpersonal Communication

"Your master, do you mean Sirens?"

The silver-haired girl always felt that today's housekeeper was a bit strange.

But she couldn't tell where the strangeness was.

"—It's Marquis Josephine."

The butler politely handed over a letter.

"Is it about the banquet?"

Opening the letter and taking a look, the silver-haired girl frowned:

"I remember I've already said no."

"That's Master Sirence's personal invitation to dance, this time it's a formal invitation, please be sure to attend the dinner."

The steward explained:

"The young master has already been severely reprimanded by the Marquis, and will never disturb you during the dinner."

"Then I am honored to accept it."

Ai Wen thought about it, now is the time when she needs contacts, there is no need to always refuse invitations like before, and only attend when there is really no other way.

The Josephine family was the upper class nobles in the kingdom. Although Sirens hated it, there was no need to offend the other party's father.

"There is one more thing."

After she accepted the letter, the butler went on to say:

"Lord Marquis heard that His Excellency Garcia took over the orphanage, and decided to increase his support there. He will increase the donation amount by 30 gold coins every month, or items of equivalent value."

"I am sincerely grateful for the generosity of His Majesty the Marquis."

Hearing that there were 30 more gold coins per month, Aiwen's mood improved a lot.

Don't think that this is a small number. In Poltain, one gold coin is enough for an ordinary civilian family to live for half a month. This is because the price of goods in the capital is relatively expensive.

These gold coins can be said to have eased the current income and expenditure situation of the orphanage at once, and made her pressure a lot less.

"Sure enough, interpersonal communication is still very important."

Watching the butler leave, she thought to herself:

"Even if I have to repay this favor in the future, at least it will solve the urgent need."

But I heard that Marquis Josephine is a very stingy guy, how could he be willing to spend such a sum of money on the orphanage?

Someone thought for a long time, but still didn't guess the intention of the Marquis:

Different from the past, the current orphanage does not generate much income, and with the status of the Josephine family, there is no need to gain fame by doing such things.

"Anyway, it will definitely not be a discovery of conscience."

She read the invitation letter again.

The date set above is the 9th—that is, after the finals of the martial arts competition.

"Excuse me, is Lord Garcia at home?"

The doorbell rang again, and at the same time a shout came from outside:

"We are the City Guard!"

It's time to come.

The silver-haired girl sighed.

When she got outside, several city guards stood at the door in full armor. The officer in charge saluted her and asked:

"A coachman was killed near the academy today. Some witnesses said that he once drove a carriage for you. Is this true?"

"Yes."

The silver-haired girl answered frankly:

"I did ride in his carriage, but then I sent him back."

"Do you have any witnesses to prove that you were not there?"

"Oh, I should have been in the academy at the time, many people have seen me, you can ask them."

After accepting some inquiries, the city guards did not make things difficult for her and left her residence soon.

——This is the benefit of status.

If she was just an ordinary girl, she might end up being arrested and interrogated immediately, and there is a high chance of being cruelly treated because of her beautiful appearance.

The interrogation room of the City Guards is not a benevolent place, and people are beaten to death there every year.

Even if she has not been formally knighted, she is already considered a member of the privileged class, so the attitude of the other party is naturally different.

Of course, this is also related to the death of a humble coachman. If she happened to be at the scene when the Earl's daughter was killed, the matter might not be so easy to settle.

"Huh? What is this?"

Back in the study, she suddenly found that there was something else in the letter paper that wrapped the invitation letter.

"Snapped."

Poured it on the table and saw that it was a delicate seal.

The seal is made of some unknown material, the surface is beautiful golden, the color is soft and bright, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.

And its carving process is very special, not like Poltin's style at all, full of exotic flavor.

"I seem to have seen this kind of seal somewhere..."

Carefully picked up the seal and observed it against the light for a while.

Then she finally remembered what it was:

"This is the seal of the Radiant Holy See!"

"Looking at the mark on it, it should belong to a local bishop."

But why is the seal of a local bishop in the hands of a prince of the kingdom?

Putting this seal on the table, she began to think about the purpose of Marquis Josephine giving this to herself.

"It's impossible to convert me to the Holy See."

She mused:

"Although the Kingdom of Poltan did not order to prohibit the belief in the Church of Radiance, for a high-ranking marquis, doing so is a taboo."

"Unless he doesn't want to stay in the kingdom any longer, he will never do such a stupid thing."

"Then he sent this thing here on purpose...and in such a covert way, what exactly is he trying to do?"

Seal of the Holy See

After connecting all these key words, her eyes suddenly brightened:

The glorious church "Truis", the state religion of Listea, the strongest empire on the mainland.

——Isn't this just an excellent helper?

The powerhouses of the Holy See are far superior to Poltin in terms of quantity and quality, and they happen to be the nemesis of the dark forces!

If the believers stationed in the capital knew that there was an evil and powerful dark magician hiding nearby, how would they react?

"This matter can't be rushed, it has to be planned carefully."

She sat there, seriously considering the feasibility of this plan;

It is probably not an easy job to not allow yourself to be suspected, but also to ensure that the murderer can subdue the law.

And once the Radiance Church intervenes, things can easily rise to the diplomatic level.

"Then do I still want to get involved?"

She started to have trouble:

"There is no need for me, a descendant of the Juggernaut, to appear on the stage if a strong man from the empire shows up."

Even if she can justifiably participate in the crusade, the Poltan royal family may be dissatisfied with her because of this.
