Saint?Just a bad woman

"Miss Gin..."

Alessia couldn't bear it. Although Archduke Osvid, who colluded with the demons, was guilty, she was unwilling to destroy the foundation of the Osvid family on her.

"Alessia, if you persuade your father, will Archbishop Osvid give up colluding with the demons?"

"I can't guarantee that."

"My position is on the side of the empire. On the political level, the only person who is willing to stand on the side of the country and the people, apart from the current emperor, is Minister Bridges of the Dreiser family."

It should be said that fortunately the Minister of Military Affairs is still upright, and the Dreiser family has always defended the Lorian Empire, otherwise the empire would have disintegrated and fallen apart.

"I can't deny it."

Even Alessia, who lingers in Fengyue Place, knows the current political situation.

"I promise, I will try not to hurt Archduke Osvid, but just capture him and send him to prison."

"But if it's a legal trial..."

"I assure you that the Grand Duchy is not destroyed, but reborn. As long as you become the new Grand Duke and stand on the side of Ernest XV, Grand Duke Osvid will remonstrate with His Majesty the Emperor."

"If you can save your life..."

Alessia finally nodded.

So, two slender figures walked towards the heavily guarded area.

"who!"

The overlapping weapons naturally blocked the path.

"it's me."

Alessia put down her hood, her long silver hair cascading down like a waterfall. She didn't have a ponytail today, and her pale golden eyes were very calm and quiet.

"Little Duke!"

The soldier's face immediately became respectful, he gave a military salute, and even let him go with a flattering expression on his face.

It is a fact that everyone knows that Archduke Osvid has only one heir, Alessia.

"You...why did you come back suddenly? I'm going to inform the Duke."

"Please tell father."

Alessia didn't refuse. Even though she was going back to her home, the process usually required going through it again.

"Also, I brought a friend home."

……

That evening, St. Carolina was warmly received as a friend of Alessia.

This was the first time Alessia brought friends home. With Archduke Osvid doting on Alessia, it was normal to hold such a small banquet similar to a family dinner.

Although I don’t know what Archduke Osvid thinks of Santa Karina sitting there, he looks at her as if he is looking at his daughter’s future wife.

Maybe it's a little strange. Is the relationship between father and daughter in a noble family so harmonious?St. Carolina did not even declare her identity as a saint, but pretended to be a commoner, but was not troubled by Archduke Osvid?

"Miss Gin, you can be casual. My father doesn't mind."

"Thank you."

Symbolically, Santa Carolina responded.

The atmosphere of the dinner was still so uncomfortable, and Santa Karina just felt awkward being watched like this after finishing the meal.It's okay to dine alone or with people you get along well with. Being stared at by the Grand Duke's eyes is like being stared at by some cold and sticky gaze.

The Grand Duke is a shrewd man, and is privately known as the "Snake of Kindness." Kindness refers to appearance, temperament, words and deeds. Grand Duke Osvid has a very friendly face, like a street boy. Kind uncles can be seen everywhere in the alley.

People tend to judge others based on their appearance, making mistakes in judgment because the other person looks kind-hearted.Archduke Osvid was born with the ability to make people make mistakes. If Santa Karina hadn't been a person who knew right from wrong, she would have been deceived by that seemingly kind face.

From the moment she walked into the hall, Santa Karina had the illusion that someone was watching her from behind.

The other person is clearly sitting across from him and can make eye contact at any time, but that feeling still lingers.Whenever she uses her magic to sense whether there is a supernatural force or creature hiding behind her, the feeling of being watched will disappear briefly.

As far as she knew, Grand Duke Osvid did not have the qualifications to practice magic, so it was naturally impossible for him to use magic.Moreover, the aura floating in the air is not that of a human being, but that of a monster.

There is actually a monster hidden in this extremely luxurious mansion...

Not only are there hidden monsters, but there are more than one or two, there are many of them, and their auras are very mixed.Priests with low spell cultivation can sense the breath of monsters, but cannot distinguish their number and intensity.The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the inspiration, and the ability to judge the size of the enemy in time.

In less than one meal, Santa Karina could sense hundreds of different scents.

Does Alessia know what her father is doing?Or is she aware and just pretending to be stupid?

Santa Karina never gives up her trust casually, even to her pillow partner.If it weren't for the Holy Sword Contract, which proved that Alessia had not deceived herself, she would never have dared to take it lightly.

She originally didn't want to stay for the meal, but now she became somewhat interested in the mansion and wanted to find out what the Grand Duke wanted to do.The content of the tip showed that this seemingly amiable uncle was ready to make moves when Ernest XIV was still in power, and often made small moves in secret.

When the old emperor drove to the west, his actions became more and more obvious, and arms buying and selling occurred from time to time in the territory.

Private arms trading violates imperial laws, and serious cases may lead to the death penalty and confiscation of family property.The total amount of arms purchased and sold by Archduke Osvid was enough to kill his family for several lifetimes, but he had no intention of restraining himself.

Buying and selling arms is not fighting for the country, it is forming a party for personal gain.

Santa Carolina had been absent-minded while waiting for the meal. The Grand Duke seemed to be talking to his daughter about trivial matters in life, but he kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye.

The two are not looking at each other. Once they look at each other, there will be sparks with the smell of gunpowder.They are still in the stage of testing each other, and no one can act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy.

A few minutes later, several servants pushed a dining cart filled with food into the hall, temporarily diluting the weird atmosphere.

132. Warring

"Please eat, Miss Gin."

Archduke Osvid still looked very friendly, and motioned to Santa Karina that the table was full of dazzling items.

The dishes were delicious, but Santa Carolina did not move her chopsticks or her knife and fork.

"Grand Duke Osvid, there is no need to pretend between us. You have met me before, haven't you? And white hair is not common in the Lorian Empire. You should have confirmed my identity long ago."

"I didn't expect that we would meet in this form, Your Majesty the Saint."

Even after being exposed, Archduke Osvid didn't look angry.

"What a pity. I specially prepared this family banquet for you."

"Sorry, I don't want to eat my head off at all."

Santa Karina sneered, showing no interest in any of the food on the table.

She was not so arrogant as to go deep into the enemy camp and eat the food prepared by the enemy. Who knew if the enemy had poisoned the food.

"My daughter, why did you bring you here, the Holy Lady?"

"If you, Archduke Osvid, could catch me, you might know the reason..."

Santa Karina is playing dumb.

"If you can't catch me, it will be my turn to arrest you."

"Your Excellency Saint, I admit that you were indeed very strong before, but your aura now is far inferior to before. I have been observing you since you entered the mansion. Your aura is not even as strong as the one you used to repel the demons." One, are you so confident?"

"If you are confident, you can give it a try."

"Try it and try it."

Black ominous evil energy began to pour into Archduke Osvid's body, and he quickly transformed from a handsome silver-haired uncle to a man with a devil-like face.

This is not pure demonic energy, but the purest and most original demonic energy that he directly extracts from the monsters he raises in the mansion, which will instantly change human beings beyond recognition.

"Alessia, get behind me. The next battle is none of your business."

"Yes, I understand."

Alessia didn't hesitate. Although she was shocked that it was her first time seeing her father like this, unexpectedly, she calmed down and didn't find it strange.

After Santa Kalina told her about her father's collusion with the demons, plus the inexplicable stares she had felt since she was a child, and finally in order to escape those "eyes", she deliberately pretended to be a playboy and went to the land of Fireworks and Willow Alley. It's no surprise that my father has turned into such a dignified appearance.

His whole body was wrapped in black demonic armor, and the black demonic energy burrowed under his blood vessels like insects. The cyan blood vessels bulged, still terrifyingly black, and his face was abnormally distorted, like a monster.

Soon, Archduke Osvid's body began to swell, and then he stretched out black tentacles in all directions, with an inhuman momentum that was overwhelming.

"Your Majesty the Holy Lady... Jie Jie Jie, do you still think you can let me go to jail?"

He smiled like a villain, and his cheerful tone was very proud, but also very unpleasant and harsh.

"You can let the horse come here."

Santa Karina directly provoked, signaling to Archduke Osvid that he could attack first.

Therefore, the irritated Archduke Osvid, who turned into this majestic appearance, obviously had a bad temper, his sanity and sanity were about to drop, and he immediately took action without martial virtue.

"Clang - buzz..."

He flicked the tentacles away with his sword, making a gritty sound.

It was a very heavy blow, and every tentacle could match a strike unleashed by a top-notch swordsman with all his strength.

Fortunately, this guy still has Alessia as his daughter in his heart, and his doting on her is not just superficial. Even if he knew that his daughter was probably an enemy and had taken refuge in Santa Karina, he did not do anything to her.

Otherwise, it would be very tiring for Santa Karina to protect Alessia while fighting each other.

The contract between the two was not an equal contract, and even the death of Santa Kalina would have an impact on Alessia, but Santa Kalina did not want to lose her beloved toy.

It's not Santa Karina's style to use girls as sandbags to protect themselves from injuries...

"God said, one, the breath of frost, the power of extreme cold, freeze it."

She was muttering spiritual magic, hoping to use this to completely block Archduke Osvid's actions.

Facing an enemy with such a terrifying amount of demonic energy is like facing a berserker in a blood-burning state. No matter how much damage is done to him, the opponent will regenerate to recover.

So the best way is to freeze him so that he can't move.

As a result, bursts of ice spear rain poured down immediately.If it were ordinary magic, the effect would be the same visually, but St. Karina's Spiritual Speaking Technique was different, as it contained the power of God.

Although it was borrowed, it was undeniable that the spirit-talking technique was still useful after her resurrection.

When the ice gun penetrates the tentacle, the low-temperature air contained in it explodes and releases, freezing the enemy's body.Since the movement of several tentacles has stopped, it will be much easier to fight in close combat.

"God said, secondly, God's Holy Flame protects the Holy Sword of Defending the Country, and all treacherous people will be killed by my sword!"

Without the divine flames, St. Karina would not even be able to cause decent damage to Archduke Osvid.

Moreover, against such a heavyweight opponent, just one strike will weaken the flames wrapped around the sword.

"Stupid! Naive!"

After turning into a black swelling mass, a voice that pierced the eardrum cursed, conveying his thoughts.

Perhaps it was because the values ​​of the two sides were at odds with each other. Archduke Osvid, who did not hesitate to become that virtuous man in pursuit of power, seemed even more stupid to Santa Karina.

The extra-large ice gun penetrated the body of the black expansion.However, he was swallowed before the power of ice was released, and there was no way to freeze him from the inside.

What is the structure inside?

Santa Karina couldn't help but think that maybe the other party had turned into a real monster in some sense.In short, it's quite dangerous.

Santa Karina stepped aside to dodge the regenerated tentacles while observing Archduke Osvid's condition.

The power of the holy flames that suppressed the demonic energy covered the sword, and the flames that ignored the durability of the sword itself caused the sword to burn fiercely.

"Anyway... the holy sword cannot be burned."

Santa Karina murmured.

At certain times, the holy sword is indeed indestructible and indestructible. It fights bloody and becomes more courageous the more it fights.

Therefore, Santa Karina immediately seized the opportunity and threw the sword forward with all her strength.The sword pierced the mass like a sharp arrow, but was devoured.

Archduke Osvid didn't look like he was in any pain at all.

"Alessia, don't get close to that. After all, even the sword wrapped in the purifying flame will suffer the same fate. If you approach blindly, you will be swallowed up."

As for the Holy Sword being swallowed up, this is easy to solve. The Holy Sword is not a pure thing in the material sense, and it only needs to be summoned again.

"...I understand, so what should we do to defeat that one?"

Maybe Alessia wanted to say monster, but considering that it was her father, she still didn't say the last two words.

"You don't need to worry about this. You just need to hide well."

Santa Karina plans to keep a distance at first and continue to fight mainly on defense.

During this process, Santa Karina would occasionally release purifying flames while closing the distance, which could cause some damage to him, but could not play a decisive role.
