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

After a while, Delia regained some composure and opened the fan in her hand to cover the lower half of her face that had just revealed an evil smile, revealing a pair of shrewd and scheming eyes as she muttered to herself.

"…Divine Concubine? Haha! Princess, you really dare to think so. Even if I choose the little princess, I won't choose you. Haha, but no matter you or the little princess, you will not like to be the woman of the evil god. I understand."

Noah, who had already returned to the Ruined Temple but continued to observe Delia, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

But at the end he was a little self-deprecating.

Evil gods and the like really aren't popular. He looks so miserable after losing to the goddess.

Even the demons don't believe in the evil god. I really don't know if there is a woman who can love the evil god.

156. The Princess' Farewell to Her Past Self

At dusk, Clyde and the other two completed the commission to defeat the mutated monster and returned to the royal capital.

Then, amidst the recognition and praise from the people in the Adventurer's Guild, Clyde smiled a little embarrassedly.

It's incredible. I didn't expect that one day he would become the focus of attention.

Of course, his popularity cannot be compared with Agatha and Valentina. After all, they are both beauties and truly strong.

But even so, when he left the Adventurer's Guild and walked on the streets of the royal capital, Clyde couldn't help laughing when he thought of the people looking at him with envy and even jealousy.

That's right, feel free to be jealous of him! That's all they can do anyway!

And those people don’t know that he has something even more worthy of envy!

That’s right, you should know that he is the lover of "Her Royal Highness the Princess"!

Clyde secretly glanced at the silver-haired princess not far away from him. When he thought of this fact, he felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Huh? What's up, Clyde?"

When Valentina noticed his gaze and smiled at him, Clyde blushed and smiled:

"No, nothing, I just suddenly felt like laughing."

"Haha, Clyde, you are really weird sometimes."

'Valentina' put her hands in front of her mouth and chuckled, her eyes shaped like crescents.

Seeing his childhood sweetheart so happy, Clyde felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Even though he actually vaguely sensed that something was wrong, he still hoped that this was true.

Because in fact, Her Royal Highness the Princess hasn't given him such a pure smile for a long time.

A lot of things happened to Valentina in the past two months, which made her mature quickly, but also made Clyde feel alienated.

So when the 'Valentina' in front of him seemed to have returned to the innocent self she was two months ago, and had clearly agreed to his confession but didn't seem embarrassed.

Clyde was hypnotizing himself that this was his childhood sweetheart, the honest and simple princess who would open her heart to him and tell him everything.

There is no other possibility, it must be that 'Valentina' has returned to her former self!

The self-deceiving Clyde enjoyed this wonderful feeling.

He denies the truth and becomes obsessed with false fantasies.

"Really, you two are so laid back. Don't forget that the dragons, demons, and greater evils have not yet been destroyed, okay?"

Even when Agatha's somewhat helpless reminder came from the other side, Clyde did not reflect on himself at all. He even turned around and smiled at Agatha with his signature gentle smile.

"It doesn't matter! As long as Miss Agatha is here, we can catch all the bad guys. I will also fully support Miss Agatha!"

"Hey~ You're really brave, young man. But it's true. Just rely on me. Don't look at me like this. I'm a real dragon slayer."

Agatha, who had a natural preference for humans, looked at Clyde's gentle smile, and a hint of pride and relief appeared on her serious face.

In the eyes of passers-by at this time, the relationship between him and Miss Agatha should be unusual.

Hehe! I'm so jealous of you! Who told you that you are not the childhood sweetheart of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and you are not favored by the goddess!

It is normal for a young man to feel proud because he has suddenly become a winner in life.

It is better to say that any young man would feel that he is the chosen one if he is sandwiched between two beauties with blonde hair and silver hair.

The surprised looks from passers-by made the boy even more excited about the future.

Ah, it’s totally fine to say that my life is rosy!

Looking at the setting sun right opposite him, the boy smiled with great satisfaction.

Even though a 'young lady' in a black dress holding a parasol was walking silently across from him, the boy did not notice it, but continued to happily chat with the two beauties on his left and right.

"..."

The 'young lady' stopped walking, turned around and looked back at her childhood sweetheart whose profile was too full of happiness. There was no disappointment in her dark purple eyes, but only indifference as if she was looking at a stranger.

…Clyde, can't you even tell that it's a knockoff of mine?

Or for you, as long as your childhood sweetheart is a princess, it doesn't matter who she is?

Valentina quietly watched her childhood sweetheart walking away, her doll-like exquisite face expressionless.

To be honest, she let the fake person replace herself simply to attract Noah's attention.

But I didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected gain now.

That is, the childhood sweetheart seemed to be unaware that it was not her, and instead enjoyed it.

Yes, anyway, Clyde is a person who would say he likes dragons in front of her when she turns into a dragon, but would say he hates dragons in front of Agatha who hates dragons.

Although Valentina had no expectations from the beginning, she can now be said to have completely given up hope.

Even though the memories of her childhood were full of hope, Valentina felt a strong sense of disgust when she thought of the things Clyde always said to please her.

"Clyde, just indulge in the beautiful past and illusions. I... want to move forward."

As the princess watched her childhood sweetheart gradually disappear into the dusk, she could not help but gently open her lips as if saying goodbye to her past self and whispered in a voice that only she could hear.

It should have been a very sad situation...but Her Royal Highness the Princess did not feel sad at all, and even felt a lot more relaxed.

Clyde would remain her childhood sweetheart, but that was all.

Seeing how Clyde is enjoying himself even when facing that fake self, I'm afraid that Clyde doesn't like himself, but simply likes "Her Royal Highness the Princess".

It just so happens that I don’t need him from now on.

Anyway, it is enough for me to have the attention of God.

No longer looking at the boy, whose back she could still see if she looked closely, Valentina turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

It was a road full of unknowns, but even so she felt it was far better than dwelling on the past with Clyde.

And although the future is unknown, she can try her best to make it develop in the direction she expects.

For example, in just one day today, she had used the teleportation array that only the royal family could use to visit famous cathedrals across the kingdom, met with bishops from various places, and learned the names of several particularly outstanding young nuns.

And the most special name among them, yes, she remembered it was Clotilde.

Sister Clotil, the battle sister who holds the magic spear and the holy book, is the most special young nun in the church.

Judging from her recent actions, it seems that this nun has been in Water City for some time.

"…Water City? I must go there with God in the future. Haha, I'm really looking forward to it~"

Because the person she was thinking about was no longer her childhood sweetheart, but a certain terrible god, an expression full of happiness gradually appeared on the princess' originally cold face.

After she finds a hotel with a bath and has a good rest for the night, she will go and get rid of the nun who stole the attention of the Lord God from her tomorrow~

In this way, she will surely be able to monopolize the full attention of the Lord God?~!

157. No, mate.

It was nine o'clock in the evening, when most people in the world should be resting, but Noah was still observing the activities of all parties with great energy.

Mainly, Noah wanted to see when and how Alan was going to take action.

The victim has to keep an eye on the fake princess and make sure she doesn't get exposed.

Especially at this point in time, Noah felt that he absolutely could not look away.

Otherwise there will definitely be problems.

Sure enough, the three of them just spent a pleasant day, but Clyde, the victim, had an ambiguous expression.

That expression of wanting to say something but being too embarrassed to say it out loud...Noah always felt that this kid couldn't come up with anything good.

"Um, um, Tina, would you like to come to my house and rest for a night?"

And when the boy on the other end of the monitor said it shyly, Noah immediately showed a look of disgust.

She is really worthy of being called Xiao Huangyou. Even the most miserable male character is so active.

No, man.

You confessed yesterday, and you're thinking about this kind of thing today?

And Agatha is here too! Don’t you think it will be awkward for the other party? Or what? Are you planning to drag Agatha into this?

Noah admitted that he also liked beautiful girls, but not to this extent.

Even the yellow-haired guy next door wouldn't be like this...

"Hey, come here and put on the clothes of the young lady you're serving now, huh? Ask me why? Of course it's because it feels better this way!"

...Well, the yellow-haired guy next door is not much better.

I suddenly got horny at the same time.

Noah glanced at the surveillance camera next door and found that Alan was quite playful. He asked to pretend to be a maid of a noble family and play COSPLAY.

"Well... okay, it shouldn't be a problem. No one would care if I didn't go home for a night. And it just so happens that I haven't stayed overnight at your house, Clyde."

"real!?"

And as the fake princess in the surveillance camera here did not understand the victim's intention at all, and thought that it was just a simple overnight stay, she took the initiative to agree.

Noah also quickly retracted his gaze.

It’s okay if we ignore the AV live broadcast over there, but if we don’t do anything here, the victim will succeed.

Noah also knew that this was just an impostor and not the real princess he knew.

But the problem is that even if it is a fake, Noah doesn't want to let a spineless and weak guy like the victim get the advantage.

Noah really gets angry when he sees the victim's happy face that is immersed in the 'illusion'.

The victim clearly knew that the other person was not his childhood sweetheart, but he still wanted to do it with her.

It's really embarrassing.

So as long as she looks like a princess, it doesn't matter who she is inside, right?

Without saying a word, Noah immediately transferred from the ruined temple to the alleys of the royal capital through space teleportation, ready to let the two people who were in a good mood feel the power of a hidden BOSS.

Even if Huangmao doesn't mind, the evil god Noah will mind it too!

At this time, Clyde did not expect that Valentina would agree so easily, and he immediately became very excited.

However, the counterfeit was as innocent as the princess at the beginning of the original story. She had no idea what this meant and was still happy that her childhood sweetheart was happy.

But just when Noah could no longer suppress his annoyance and was about to intervene directly, an unexpected person suddenly appeared at the scene.

"… Your Highness Valentina, I am extremely sorry, but you should go back."

A young maid with her long gray hair tied up suddenly appeared at the scene silently. She bowed respectfully to the impostor and asked him to go back and rest in a caring voice.

"Huh? Martina? Why are you here?"

Valentina was surprised. Although she knew this person in her memory, if she remembered correctly, she should be Prince Mori's personal maid.

But why is Prince Mori's maid here?

"…Have you forgotten, Your Highness Valentina, that Your Highness Mori is very worried about your safety, so he specially sent me to take care of you until you recover completely."

Martina was talking seriously about things that didn't exist, and Noah was stunned.

As expected of a professional maid, lying is as natural to her as drinking water.

How could Prince Mori be worried about Valentina? He's more like afraid. It's probably that the real Valentina asked the maid Martina to cover for her.

"Eh... is that so... Sorry, Clyde, it looks like I have to go back."
