Get ahead of the fallen heroine and make the minotaur the victim.

……

Spending time with her childhood sweetheart made Valentina feel much better. Even if nothing was said, just looking at Clyde's gentle smile would give Valentina the motivation to move forward.

Her uneasy heart was slightly relieved, and she went to other libraries to continue investigating the evil god.

Just like that, night came again in the blink of an eye.

It was already 7:50 in the evening. Her Royal Highness, who had gone to several libraries in one day but had not found any information, was walking towards her room helplessly.

The capital city at night was different from the daytime. Not only were there few people on the streets, but the atmosphere was also somewhat depressing. If it weren't for the swords, young women would definitely not dare to walk alone on the streets.

Furthermore, even in the capital, the voices of the lawless could be heard in the dark alleys.

"..."

When Valentina, who was worrying about what to do next, noticed an unpleasant sound coming from a nearby alley, she almost immediately gave up thinking about her own things, and her expression quickly became solemn and stern.

The fact that she gradually placed her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist proved her next move.

Only at this moment did the confused girl transform herself into a knight who upholds justice.

"…Very good. Go ahead."

After closing her eyes and taking a few deep breaths, Valentina immediately spread the wings behind her, ready to rush into the crime scene and bring evil to justice.

...Huh? Wings?

After flying a short distance, Valentina, who had just gotten into the state, suddenly froze.

The girl's originally resolute and solemn expression turned into panic, and a look of hesitation appeared in her pupils.

She hurriedly touched her forehead and felt a dragon horn that seemed harder than steel. The thick but flexible black and purple tail also circled in front of her body and swayed non-stop at her command.

"Why did you suddenly turn into a dragon at this time?!"

Valentina, who finally realized that she had accidentally transformed, made an unwilling sound.

Damn it! How can she break into the crime scene like this? She will definitely be regarded as a monster!

"Who knows? Maybe it's because of your inner expectations, Princess?"

Noah, who had dragged Valentina, who was still complaining on the streets of the royal capital, into the ruined temple in an instant, was now doing some warm-up exercises, pretending to be an evil villain, and preparing for today's training.

"You're talking nonsense! I wasn't expecting that!"

Seeing the disgusting black shadow appear in front of her again, Valentina immediately subconsciously denied it.

But just as she was about to say a few more words excitedly, she was instantly speechless by the huge sculpture behind the black shadow.

Because the woman in the sculpture, who looks full of evil, looks exactly like herself!

7. Yes, hate me, Princess!

In this strange temple that was already filled with a dilapidated atmosphere, there suddenly appeared a sculpture several meters high. If that was all, Valentina would not be so shocked.

But the problem is, no matter how she looks at it, the person in the sculpture is herself!

Both his figure and appearance were very similar to hers, and like her now, he had an abnormal posture with wings and a tail.

If there is any difference, it is that unlike her who cannot accept turning into a monster, the 'her' in the sculpture seems to have completely accepted her identity as a dragon.

She looked like a dragon queen who exuded an evil and powerful aura. Not only was she dressed revealingly, but there was also a playful smile on her beautiful face, and she was looking down at the world with contempt.

Although it is a man-made object carved from stone, its lifelike expression makes it seem as if it will move at any moment.

The temperament of that superior was even stronger than that of Valentina's brothers and sisters who were competing for the throne, and even stronger than the current king.

The figure carved in the sculpture is undoubtedly a queen with full leadership qualities.

He is nothing more than the leader of evil forces.

This thing suddenly appeared in front of Valentina, and she naturally felt even more confused. She didn't know what this thing meant.

However, unlike Valentina who was even more shaken but couldn't take her eyes off the statue, Noah, who used the power of the evil god to create this statue of 'Valentina after she was completely evil/corrupted', felt very comfortable.

He looked at the dumbfounded Princess with a relaxed look and said jokingly:

"No, that's what you expect. This sculpture is the reflection of your inner self. In fact, you have always longed for such a future, to become a person who no longer needs to care about the feelings of others."

This is of course just a lie from Noah. The statue is exactly what Noah imagined Valentina would look like after she turned evil and fell, and it is not what she really thinks.

However, when a mysterious shadow whose true face you can't even see clearly says this, a normal person would definitely be shaken.

What's more, Noah already had an unstable mentality towards the girl.

"How, how could it be... is that really my ideal self?"

Valentina shifted her gaze from the sculpture's face to her own hands, her delicate and innocent face filled with hesitation.

Does she really think that becoming a dragon who no longer needs to worry about others would be better than now?

Could it be that deep down in her heart when she was preparing to take action just now, she was actually thinking that crime would continue unabated anyway, so she might as well just physically eliminate all the evildoers?

Isn't that the same as being a tyrant?

…No! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I have never thought about it that way! It will never turn out like that! Absolutely not!

Just when she was about to fall into self-doubt, Valentina thought of the people who believed in her.

Alan, her gentle and caring private tutor, Clyde, her shy but gentle childhood sweetheart, and the maids who are willing to stand by her side.

Valentina shook her head desperately, as if she wanted to get rid of all the dark thoughts in her heart.

This must be the conspiracy of the evil god in front of us! If you really think so, you have fallen into the trap!

Even though he was fooled for a short while, he was still the protagonist after all, and it was impossible for him to be defeated so easily.

When Valentina looked at Noah again, her eyes had become bright again, and those eyes, as pure and flawless as amethyst, were filled with anger.

She looked angrily at the terrible evil god who was trying to lead her to fall.

"No! Those are all lies! Damn evil god! Why did you do such an excessive thing to me! "

Valentina had never encountered such blatant evil before. Even the ridicule of her brothers and sisters was much gentler than that of the evil god. This made Valentina really unable to understand.

What had she done to deserve being treated like this?

"Huh, that's an interesting question. Why? Of course it's because I can't stand it."

"what?!"

Valentina didn't expect the evil god to answer honestly, nor did she expect this kind of answer, so she subconsciously made a surprised sound.

She couldn't quite understand what the other person meant.

What does "dislike" mean? As an evil god, do you dislike her doing justice in the name of the goddess?

He is indeed an evil god! He is really evil to the core!

"Because I can't stand it, I have to take action. It's that simple. Why, you don't accept it?"

At this time, Noah, who was deliberately provoking Valentina's hatred towards him, used the most provocative tone and made the most provocative pose to incite the Silver Princess' emotions.

After all, letting Valentina experience evil earlier will make her less naive in the future. In the original work, there are quite a few defeat plays where characters suffer losses due to naivety.

And Noah wasn't lying, he just couldn't stand it.

I can’t stand the heroine who is always a good woman and the arrogant and unpunished yellow-haired man, and I can’t stand the victims who feel regret but take no action.

Since he failed to travel through time and space and become a righteous god to protect the heroine, he could at least take on the villain's position so that the heroine would not be easily deceived.

"You, you are such a terrible person!"

Valentina, whose breathing became unstable and her plump breasts shook non-stop due to Noah's evil attitude, gritted her teeth and said.

The look in her eyes at this moment was filled with disgust.

"Ha, after all, in your records, I am an evil god. If you don't accept it, you can teach me a lesson."

It’s a pity that even though Noah was disliked by the heroine he liked, he was not affected at all. It would be unexpectedly quite good.

Noah might have awakened new XP. He suddenly felt that it was nice to be treated with contempt and disgust by a beautiful girl, especially a silver-haired princess dragon girl.

Therefore, Noah not only did not restrain himself, but even continued to provoke Valentina's emotions and continued to stimulate her heart.

Noah's words did choke Valentina a little, because she had personally experienced Noah's unfathomable power and knew that she would not be able to fight back if she targeted him.

…but what if we changed the target?

Looking at the arrogant Noah... and her own sculpture behind her, Valentina suddenly took action, wrapping her hands with much stronger magic power than before, trying to destroy the annoying sculpture.

"Haha! How could I let you destroy it!"

But Noah, who had known that Valentina would do this, lifted up the several-meter-high sculpture with one hand and avoided Valentina's sudden attack without saying a word. Noah was even able to laugh at her while protecting the sculpture.

Noah could have stood still and protected the sculpture, but he deliberately provoked Valentina in a more provocative way.

“It must be destroyed!!!”

Valentina, who had no idea that even her anger and disgust were part of Noah's plan, really lost her mind.

She is becoming more flexible and familiar with using this half-dragon body, and is rapidly becoming stronger by defeating hidden bosses that are far above her level.

"What a pity! It was just a little bit away from being destroyed~"

And Noah, who was currently training Valentina in a villain way and enjoying it, would not have thought of this.

In the near future, it will no longer be Valentina who desperately wants to destroy the sculpture, but him.

8. The most approachable girl in the whole game

More than ten minutes later, Valentina, who had not even touched the sculpture on her own initiative and had even been hit by the sculpture countless times by Noah, finally lay on the ground gasping for breath due to fatigue and pain.

Fortunately, she had the body of a dragon, otherwise, with her original human body, she would probably have been unable to stand up after the initial smash from the statue.

Now, apart from the fact that the look she gave Noah was still full of unyielding intent, she was unable to offer any decent resistance.

Valentina felt the cold floor of the ruined temple, and what she felt in her heart was more powerlessness and grievance than despair.

Why is she being played around with by the other party like a toy?

In this case, it would be better to just kill her!

"Oh, look at your expression, it's as if you're asking me why I don't just kill you."

As expected, the fact that the other party could always see through her thoughts also made Valentina feel extremely unhappy.

But compared to what Noah said next, this was actually relatively insignificant.

Noah threw the heavy statue aside, raising a cloud of dust, and then made an ambiguous sound deliberately.

"Don't you know, Princess, that death is a relatively easy outcome for a loser? With your extraordinary beauty, what you need to worry about is not death, but the humiliation after defeat."

"?!"

Noah's words stunned Valentina again. She had been thinking that the worst outcome would be death.

She really hadn't thought about this, not because she was naive and ignorant of the world, but because she felt that such a shadowy evil god would not do that kind of thing to her.

So you can actually do it!?

"Haha, your expression has changed, but don't worry, I have absolutely no sexual interest in you right now."

Of course, Noah was just talking, and his main purpose was to make Valentina feel a sense of crisis. Therefore, when he saw Valentina lying on the ground with a pale face, he tried to pass over the topic in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

Noah's voice reached Valentina's ears. Although she felt relieved at first, after all, she didn't want to give her first time to someone she didn't like.

But Noah's arrogant attitude, as if he looked down on her and treated her as just a cute creature like a kitten or a puppy, made Valentina feel annoyed.

What! The tone is as if he is saying that what he likes is the sculpture of her!

Although she did admit that she looked more mature and attractive in the sculpture, her words were not that different, okay! After all, they are the same person!

Valentina didn't know why, but she inexplicably developed a competitive spirit towards her sculptured self. Perhaps it was because she didn't want to admit that she was defeated by the evil god, but it was too embarrassing to be defeated by her own statue.

In short, Valentina's resentment towards Noah has undoubtedly increased at this moment.

She even had a spiteful thought, thinking that if she didn't let her find the chance, she would definitely keep this hateful evil god as a pet and return the humiliation she had suffered tenfold.

There is no doubt that a dragon's ability to withstand blows is many times higher than that of humans, and the same is true for its recovery ability.

Just ten minutes later, Valentina had basically recovered her strength. She flapped her wings to blow up the dust on the floor, and gradually adjusted her posture in the air from the embarrassed posture of a loser.

After all, she is still a princess, and Valentina quickly recovered her elegance as if the previous defeat had never happened.
