Chapter 96: I Both Manipulate Hearts and Fabricate Lies p2

…

After a delightful dinner, Kailun and Afra went back to their room first. Winnie helped Chrissy follow behind them.

“Why are there so many water stains on your chair?”

When Chrissy stood up, Winnie asked, puzzled.

Chrissy blushed, “Don’t ask. It’s just that the weather is cold, and the water seeped out of the wood.”

Winnie: “???”

She wasn’t stupid. Why was the Holy Maiden lying to her?

‘As expected of the Holy Maiden. She knows more than people from this remote kingdom.’

Knight Shirley, who had just been tied to the cross in the living room, looked enlightened when she heard this.

After Chrissy and Winnie went into their rooms, they heard Kailun’s voice.

“I wonder if Holy Maiden knows how to dance?”

Chrissy said, “No, the Holy Maidens of the Divine Temple don’t learn that.”

“What a pity. If you knew how to dance, I might give you a chance to escape. After all, I like to watch people dance.”

Kailun turned on the lights in the room and said regretfully, “Sister Afra, help me tie Chrissy up. Just hang her by the bed later.”

“Okay!”

Afra’s voice suddenly came from behind Chrissy.

“What are you trying to do?!”

As soon as she asked, she felt dizzy. Her entire body was bound, like a crab.

Her hands were behind her back, and her legs were spread open by the ropes. She looked like a frog crawling on the ground, incredibly embarrassing. All her springy beauty was completely exposed to everyone.

“Release me! If you dare to defile me, the Pope will never forgive you.
I’m a representative of the Divine Temple, a candidate for the Pope. You can’t do anything strange to me.”

A huge fear devoured Chrissy’s sanity. Afra lifted her and brought her to the edge of the bed where Kailun was sitting.

Under Chrissy’s terrified gaze, Afra used another rope to connect to the load-bearing structure on the ceiling, making a simple rope swing. She slowly lifted Chrissy up.

Chrissy faced Kailun and her back was to Winnie. The latter, after seeing the Holy Maiden’s front, couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

She couldn’t believe how revealing Chrissy was dressed.

She couldn’t help but ask, was the Holy Maiden of the Divine Temple really a symbol of purity?

Kailun, sitting by the bed, pressed his hand on Chrissy’s shoulder and said softly, “At this point, do you still hope that the Divine Temple will rescue you?
Don’t think about it. Do you know why the previous Holy Maiden escaped? Because your dear Pope wanted to harm her!”

“What do you mean?” Chrissy was briefly distracted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Afra, holding a pen, secretly wrote a check mark on Chrissy’s thigh.

She had said before that she would bully Chrissy. This writing was already very stimulating for her. This was the first time she had written a check mark on someone else’s leg. In the past, it was always Kailun who wrote check marks on her and Winnie’s legs.

“Mmm~”

Every time Afra put down her pen, Chrissy’s body trembled. It felt itchy, as if there was a kitten scratching her heart.

“I think you should know about the Temple’s inheritance. So, I’m making a hypothesis. Since the previous Holy Maiden could pass on her strength to the next Holy Maiden.
Doesn’t that mean that all Holy Maidens can dedicate their strength to your female Pope and Emperor?”

Kailun’s gaze never left Chrissy’s. He constantly used his aura to pressure her mental defenses.

“Impossible. This secret technique can only be used once. Using it again will consume a lot of life force. If you’re unlucky, you might even die directly.”

Chrissy shook her head frantically. Kailun’s words gave her a bad feeling.

Kailun: “Then I ask you, where did the previous Holy Son and Holy Maiden go?”

Chrissy quickly replied, “They went to the bodyguard unit. It’s the Pope’s direct force.”

“Very good. Then, after this Pope took office, did you see any Holy Maidens in her direct force?”

Kailun gently stroked Chrissy’s head, “I think the answer is no. You might see the previous Holy Sons, but you won’t see the previous Holy Maidens.
After all, the current Emperor and Pope are both women. They need to consume a lot of previous Holy Maidens to grow to 9th-rank. So, naturally, you won’t see them.
As for why the previous Holy Maiden escaped?
It’s obvious. Would she stay and wait to die? So, she escaped with her secret and naturally became a wanted criminal of the Divine Temple. Don’t you think I’m right?”

Kailun spoke a lot of words. With every word, he increased his aura, using silent mental pollution to break down her defenses.

“No, you’re lying. You’re definitely lying.”

Chrissy shook her head frantically. She didn’t want to accept reality. The attacks from several sides had made her doubt things she shouldn’t have.

【Your words have made Chrissy doubt the Divine Temple. She can’t distinguish between reality, but she hates you even more. Favorability -5, Total Favorability -95】

“If that’s the case, let’s see how the Temple responds to you.”

As he spoke, Kailun gave Winnie a look, asking her to bring over the communication device that Chrissy had hidden.

Chrissy: “!!!”

She hadn’t finished dealing with the previous message when she received a large number of new messages.

“You naive Holy Maiden, you don’t think I know you’re carrying a communication device, do you?”

Kailun leaned close to Chrissy’s face and gently wiped her tears.

“What are you trying to do? Tell me, okay? As long as you tell me, I’m willing to use this body to fulfill all your wishes.”

Chrissy was close to breaking down.

Kailun chose to refuse, “No, I need you to see the truth with your own eyes.”

A beautiful girl like Chrissy would probably produce a lot of holy water when she cried, right?

Winnie found Chrissy’s communication device and the bloody cloth in the bathroom. She handed both to Kailun.

Kailun stuffed the bloody cloth into Chrissy’s mouth and activated the communication device in his hand.

With a flash of white light, new information appeared. When Kailun extracted them onto a piece of paper, Chrissy saw the content.

It was clearly two different magic letters. The first was from the Holy Son, and the second was from the Pope.

【Holy Son: Wait for me. We’re on our way to the Xiya Kingdom. It’ll take us about three or four days. When we arrive, we’ll definitely rescue you. Even if you die, I’ll still preserve your body well. I… I can’t live without you.】

【Pope: The Divine Temple will remember your sacrifice. Your name will be engraved on the Temple’s pillar of honor. My poor child.】

“Click!”

Looking at the two letters in front of her, Chrissy felt as if something in her heart had shattered.

She had been abandoned by the Divine Temple?

Didn’t the Pope say she wouldn’t abandon anyone? Why was she abandoned like this?

Sadness, despair, grief, and a never-before-felt anger burned wildly in Chrissy’s heart.

Through Kailun’s words and his proof, Chrissy believed that what Kailun said was probably the truth.

Even if it wasn’t the truth, it didn’t matter. At least she had been abandoned, abandoned by the Pope, whom she respected and loved most.

As everyone knew, the content of magic letters couldn’t be faked. The words on them were irrefutable evidence.

The image of the Pope in her memory completely collapsed.

In her new memory, the Pope was no longer a kind person. She was just a cold person who didn’t care about her.

【Chrissy’s pure heart has been tainted with darkness. She resents you for tearing open her wounds. Favorability -4, Total Favorability -99】

“Tsk!”

When he got the final result, Kailun clicked his tongue in disappointment. He was still a little short of true despair.

He had played all his cards. The attempt had failed.

It was an expected result. He could accept it.

Kailun stood up from the bed and stretched. He looked at Chrissy, whose face was level with his abdomen, “Since I’ve helped you answer your questions, it’s your turn to answer mine.
As a normal person, I’m curious whether holy water is as magical as the rumors say.
To test this topic, I’ll taste everything you have. But before that, we need to let fate make a choice.”

As he spoke, Kailun pushed Chrissy, making her spin in front of him, supported by the rope.

He didn’t know how many times she spun left and right. In the end, she was facing Kailun again.

In her dizziness, she lifted her head and looked at Kailun with vacant eyes, as if waiting for his next order.

It seemed that he had to seriously complete the task of filling the Holy Maiden.

He sighed softly, took the cloth out of her mouth, untied his robe, held Chrissy’s head, and slowly connected with her.

In Kailun’s perception, Chrissy’s holy water was no different from the saliva of ordinary girls. Her advantage was just that she had more and it was smoother.

Chrissy’s favorability didn’t decrease again when he bullied her so intensely.

The result was consistent with Kailun’s expectations. At this point, even if he directly took Chrissy’s purity, it wouldn’t make her hate him more. -99 was the limit he could achieve tonight.

From now on, her favorability would only increase because of mental pollution. If he was lucky, maybe he could brush it up to +99 before the Holy Son arrived.

As for the Pope’s reply, it was more interesting than Kailun had guessed.

【Divine Temple: Sorry, the Pope is in seclusion and cannot receive external messages. But don’t worry, Holy Maiden. The Pope will rescue you, no matter the cost. After all, you are special to her.】

Seeing this reply, Kailun felt that he had even more room to maneuver.

But Chrissy was still more important. The night was long. This was just the beginning.

Chapter 96: I Both Manipulate Hearts and Fabricate Lies p1

“One day, you will be bound to a cross and cut into a thousand pieces by the Temple. You will be tortured for a hundred years.”

Holy Maiden Chrissy cursed Kailun. Slandering the Pope was the one thing she couldn’t tolerate.

The most severe punishment in the Divine Temple was to be cut into a thousand pieces for a hundred years. High-level healing magic ensured that the criminal would experience the ultimate pain every day.

“Don’t say ‘one day.’ You won’t even make it through tonight.”

Kailun said with a look of disgust, placing the torn stockings on Chrissy’s head. Even though he had tried to wipe them off, he couldn’t remove the dust from her face.

Seeing Kailun’s disgusted look, Chrissy was even more furious.

If she hadn’t been slower than Kailun, she would have used her foot to kick him in the face.

After throwing the pitiful Chrissy into the corner, Kailun stood up and looked at Isabella, who was watching the spectacle, “By the way, have you used your divination today? Help me divine whether the Holy Maiden’s reinforcements have been dispatched.”

Isabella instinctively took a step back, “Why do you know I can divine once a day?”

This was her secret. Her first divination of the day would be very accurate.

“You can guess. If you guess correctly, I’ll tell you. Also, don’t use your divination randomly these days. I have a big use for it.
As an ally, I believe you’ll agree to my request, right?”

Kailun smiled at Isabella.

“Isabella? Is this little one the legendary Pure Desire Maiden?”

Chrissy looked at the petite Isabella and smiled for the first time, “No way. Is that all it takes to be called a Desire Maiden? Are the people at the Loya Ball joking?”

As representatives of large forces, the representatives of each faction were often in a competitive relationship.

Chrissy, who was very confident in her own beauty, naturally also considered the legendary Pure Desire Maiden as a comparison target. But this was the first time she had seen her in person.

Isabella looked at Chrissy coldly, “…”

Chrissy successfully offended Isabella with one sentence. She mimicked Vivian and bared her teeth, “I’m willing to help you. I want to see the Divine Temple’s troops wiped out.”

She finally understood why Kailun always had a playful expression when he bullied others.

If she could, she would also bully Chrissy mercilessly.

She took out a gold coin she often used for divination, tossed it in the air, and as a faint magical wave emanated, the coin spun and landed on the back of her hand, facing up.

Isabella said, “The divination is complete. They have already dispatched troops. They are not weak, but they are far away.”

The divination result once a day provided relatively accurate information. That was why she had been able to pinpoint Kailun’s location in such a short time.

“That’s about what I expected. The one coming is probably Kailson. As for the others, they shouldn’t be able to arrive for now.” Hearing Isabella’s divination result, Kailun didn’t feel any pressure.

If it had been before, he would have had to think of other ways to seek help. But after receiving the friendship sponsorship from the Holy Maiden and the Holy Son, he could make bolder decisions.

Hearing Kailun and Isabella’s exchange, Holy Maiden Chrissy could no longer smile. She swallowed, uneasily asking, “Have you already formed an alliance with the Loya Ball?”

Kailun waved his hand, “Don’t talk nonsense. How could I form an alliance with the Loya Ball? Besides, I’ll sue you for slander.”

This sentence sounded like a confirmation of an alliance to Chrissy. In her eyes, it seemed as if a huge conspiracy was looming over the Divine Temple.

Thinking about it carefully, if what Kailun had said before was true, then it meant that he was not only a spy for the Abyss but also an ally of many large organizations.

They were plotting a conspiracy to destroy the Divine Temple and change the world…

It was terrifying to think about. The fact that Kailun could discuss these matters in front of her meant that he was incredibly confident in his success.

The more she thought about it, the more worried Chrissy became. She was afraid that she would become part of the destruction of the Divine Temple.

Kailun was a demon. She had come to terms with this fact.

“You won’t let her go later, will you?” Isabella looked at Kailun and then at Chrissy.

She was worried that Kailun would give in to the pressure from the Divine Temple and release Chrissy. If that happened, her cooperation with Kailun would be exposed.

“Normally, I wouldn’t. Unless the Divine Temple gives me a price I can’t refuse. With Chrissy’s fame, it would have to be a few million gold coins, right?”

Kailun stroked his chin, genuinely considering it.

If the Divine Temple really had that kind of financial power, he wouldn’t mind releasing Chrissy to be a spy.

For him, turning Chrissy into his person within a short period of time wouldn’t be a problem.

“A few million gold coins…”

Hearing the price Kailun quoted, Chrissy was silent.

A few million gold coins was a huge number for the Divine Temple. Although they could afford it, Chrissy would feel guilty if the Temple spent so much money because of her.

She was worried that the Pope would dislike her for it. For Chrissy, the young Pope was like a mother figure.

To protect her secret, she didn’t even dare to think about suicide. She could only wait for a rescue while enduring humiliation.

No, a rescue wouldn’t be good either. This demon, Kailun, was using a strategy of encirclement and relief.

Chrissy buried her head in her knees. She was thinking about how to escape Kailun’s sight and send the intel.

Time passed slowly. Half an hour later, Afra, who had finished bathing, walked out of her room in simple home clothes.

Her hair was still damp, fresh and natural. Even Kailun couldn’t help but run over and hug her, rubbing her a few times, “You’ve worked hard today. It should be much easier from now on.”

“I’m a knight. The battlefield is my destiny.” Afra retorted.

“Wrong. The battlefield isn’t. My arms are your destiny.” Kailun pinched her face, unhappy.

“I…” Afra wanted to say something else, but under Kailun’s threatening gaze, she nodded obediently, “I understand.”

She had always spoiled Kailun. To this end, she could even abandon her pride as a knight.

She might not say much, but she was the one who had been by Kailun’s side for the longest time.

“My wife is the most obedient. Come here, give me a kiss.”

As a shameless person, Kailun kissed Afra’s alluring lips, which were still damp, in front of everyone.

Soft, sweet. It was a taste that could make someone happy for a whole day.

Faced with Kailun’s bold behavior, even Afra, who was as cold as a winter plum blossom, felt a little shy. A faint blush appeared on her arrogant little face.

“Mmm~”

Maid Carol, who was holding a magic scroll and had just walked out of the room, saw this scene and felt a little jealous.

With the regular magic instruction and intimate contact, her favorability towards Kailun had risen to 94, far exceeding the level where she could be enjoyed.

Perhaps sensing Carol’s gaze, Kailun released Afra, who was dazed, and beckoned to Carol.

She hesitated for half a second before walking over to Kailun, holding the magic scroll.

“I didn’t expect my Carol to have reached the age of first love. But I’m always fair. Since I kissed Afra, I won’t be partial.”

Kailun lifted her smooth, tender chin and kissed her unexpectedly, unexpectedly gaining a little favorability. Her total favorability reached 95.

After kissing Carol, Kailun raised his head and proudly surveyed the room, “Anyone else want to? I can fulfill your wishes.
Vivian, do you want to?”

“No, I don’t have that kind of worldly desire.” Vivian quickly hid behind Isabella.

“What about Isabella?” Kailun asked again.

The latter shook her head repeatedly, turned around, and ran behind Vivian.

As for the remaining Winnie and Chrissy, Kailun simply skipped over them.

Seeing that there were no other targets, Kailun leaned close to Carol’s ear and whispered something. After a simple explanation, Carol quickly took Chrissy to his room.

About ten minutes later, Carol carried a bamboo basket and placed it on the table. It was filled with things she had searched from the Holy Maiden’s clothes. Chrissy was currently soaking in the bathtub, completely naked.

At Kailun’s request, Carol had made Chrissy undress before entering the bathroom. So, the Holy Maiden’s remaining clothes were left in the basket outside.

“This small bottle contains something that should be a poison. The other one is a convenient communication device.
As for this piece of cloth that’s still warm, it’s naturally her underwear. I didn’t expect the Holy Maiden to like white. I’ve learned something new.”

Kailun found some important things in the basket, which still had residual warmth. He replaced the pills in the small bottle with ordinary candies.

He made simple modifications to the portable communication device. This way, any magic letters Chrissy sent out would be intercepted once. And he would be able to intercept them, modify the content, and resend them.

At the same time, he could also receive letters from others that were sent to Chrissy, modify them again, and then have Chrissy receive them.

This was a technology that had been born in the Abyss years later. Kailun had learned this trick because of the fox. It was just that he hadn’t used it until now.

For the current Chrissy, she would believe the content she saw without a doubt.

After doing all this, Kailun put Chrissy’s things back in their original place and had Carol send them back.

…

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Listening to the sound of footsteps fading away outside, Chrissy’s heart was filled with unease.

After confirming that Carol wouldn’t come back, she secretly tiptoed to the door, naked.

She gently opened the bathroom door and carefully observed through the crack for a while. After confirming that the bedroom outside was empty, she tiptoed out.

Chrissy’s snow-white skin was incredibly eye-catching in the room. It was impossible to look away.

Tiny drops of water slid down her hair, flowed over her delicate collarbones, passed her full breasts, and then flowed down her slender abdomen, eventually dripping to the ground along her perfect long legs.

She quickly realized her mistake. She reduced her body movements so that fewer drops of water would fall to the ground.

Carefully squatting beside the basket, she first took out her communication device.

Since she didn’t have paper and pen to write with, she needed a medium that could leave a trace.

After thinking for a long time, she reached into the basket, took out her underwear, and returned to the bathroom.

Enduring her shame, she held the communication device in one hand and dipped the other hand in hot water, writing on the white fabric. But the color of the water stains was too light, so they couldn’t be seen.

So, Chrissy had to bite her finger, enduring the pain.

“Kailun is a spy for the Abyss. He has contact with large organizations like the Loya Ball. He intends to do something wicked to the Divine Temple.
Be careful of the Abyss’s ambush when you come to rescue me. He wants to use me as bait.”

After writing a few simple words, Chrissy quickly pressed the fabric against the communication device. To activate it with enough magic power, Chrissy poured her magical blood into it.

With a flash of white light, the text on the fabric was transmitted.

“It hurts so much…”

Chrissy looked at her injured finger pitifully. This was the first time she had been so seriously injured since she was a child.

If not for Kailun, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. She wanted to retaliate against Kailun, but she couldn’t kill him.

She thought for a moment. It seemed that she could only use the poison she carried with her to torment Kailun. But then she thought again, she could cure the poison herself. Kailun would only have to beat her up to get the antidote. So, it would be almost useless.

For the first time, Chrissy thought that holy water was a bad thing.

After hiding the bloody cloth in the corner, Chrissy returned to the bathtub.

When the hot water cooled slightly, she got out of the bathroom, naked. This time, she saw clothes and a towel prepared for her by Carol beside the basket.

After quickly wiping off the water droplets on her body, she looked at the clothes in front of her and fell into thought.

In front of her was an incredibly revealing skirt and a white top that exposed her navel. She looked carefully several times, but she couldn’t find any underwear.

Chrissy: “…”

She couldn’t wear her underwear again because it was stained with blood. So, Chrissy could only endure her shame and put on the revealing skirt and the cool top.

She felt a chill under the skirt. Every step she took gave her a great sense of insecurity.

The skirt, which barely covered her buttocks, exposed her bottom line with every step she took. The top, which exposed her navel, was tightly wrapped around her full breasts, making the two points in front very prominent.

There was a three-finger-wide hole just below her chest, allowing people to see the scenery and valley of her southern hemisphere.

The worst part was that a pair of black stockings and a leg ring were placed beside the basket. She had looked, and there was only one stocking.

This wasn’t something she could wear outside. It was clearly a sexy outfit. She would rather wear her old, dirty clothes than wear such indecent clothes in public.

“Master wants you to go eat. He said that if you don’t go out within ten seconds, he’ll come and get you himself.”

Just as Chrissy was about to change her clothes, Carol pushed open the door and conveyed Kailun’s orders.

“Oh, right. Master also said that his way of asking people to do things is unique. He usually undresses them and throws them out.”

Hesitating, Chrissy heard Carol’s voice again.

“I know! I know!”

Chrissy, furious, put on her stockings and leg ring and followed Carol to the living room.

The whole time, she used her left arm to cover the bulge in her clothes, and her right hand to pull at the hem of her skirt.

This reduced the possibility of her skirt showing, but it also exposed more of her curves, which extended to her thighs. It seemed like if she pulled it down a little more, she would reveal her bottom line.

“Come over and eat. Otherwise, you’ll get dizzy from being too hungry at night.”

Kailun casually put away the communication device on the table.

Everyone was already sitting at the large round table, except for the seat opposite Kailun.

Chrissy gritted her teeth and sat down opposite Kailun under everyone’s strange gazes. Feeling the coldness of the wooden stool directly against her butt, she couldn’t help but shed a few tears.

“Oh my, you’re so wasteful. Holy water is a thousand-gold antidote. Winnie, quickly use the cup to catch it. Don’t waste it.”

Seeing the tears sliding down the Holy Maiden’s face, Kailun quickly instructed Winnie to use a cup to catch them.

“Oh, oh!” The latter nodded repeatedly, picking up a cup and placing it under Chrissy’s face.

Chrissy: “…”

【Because of her resentment towards you, Chrissy doesn’t want you to get the holy water. She plans to stop crying. Favorability -2, Total Favorability -87】

Winnie, who had only gotten a few drops of tears, put the cup back on the table with a look of regret. She was incredibly curious about this Holy Maiden. After all, she was a great figure from the rumors.

She never imagined that she would one day have contact with such a great figure and be played with together. This feeling was quite extraordinary.

During the formal dinner, there were only a few conversations at the table. Because she was sitting on a chair, Chrissy could use her right hand to eat.

Since she had to wait for a rescue, she had to eat her fill. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have the strength to run away. Chrissy understood this clearly.

“Hmm~”

But in the middle of eating, Chrissy gasped and slumped onto the table.

“What’s wrong?” Winnie, who was sitting next to her, asked unconsciously.

“No… nothing. My stomach just feels a little uncomfortable.”

Chrissy sat up straight, forcing down the strange feeling. Just now, a foot suddenly landed on her leg and even went under her skirt, touching her tender heart.

The impact was almost enough to make Chrissy lose herself. The feeling of floating in the clouds made her limp.

Under the tablecloth, the table was a whole other world, unknown to others.

【Because of your presumptuous and vulgar actions, Chrissy’s favorability has decreased again. Favorability -3】

Not bad. It had already reached -90. As for whether she could touch the line of despair, that remained to be seen.

Kailun enjoyed Carol and Afra’s feeding while using his toes to tease the Holy Maiden’s sensitive nerves, repeatedly jumping up and down on her soft spots.

It was as if he was constantly provoking Chrissy, saying, “Come and eat me. If you dare, open your mouth wide and eat me!”

The pure Holy Maiden was still too conservative. She silently ate the steak on her plate, tears welling up in her eyes.

She chose to endure silently, rather than let everyone know what bad things Kailun had done.

But Winnie, who was good at managing things, put the cup under Chrissy’s face again when she saw her crying.

“We can’t waste it.” Winnie said with conviction.

‘These people are hopeless!’

Roaring in her heart, Chrissy produced more holy water.

Seeing this, Kailun nodded in satisfaction. That’s right. It would be a waste not to use a Holy Maiden who produced so much water to produce holy water.

He could tell roughly how much water the Holy Maiden had stored just by wiggling his toes.

Chapter 95: Research Topics

The sound of cannon fire from the main battlefield in the distance gradually subsided. In just a few tens of minutes, nearly one hundred thousand gold coins had turned into fireworks in the sky.

Suppressing their psychological defenses with the most absolute firepower was the key step. Only then could their losses be minimized.

The loss of gold coins could be made up for by the Divine Temple’s people mining for dozens more years, but the loss of combat power would directly affect the efficiency of their subsequent offensive.

The Xiya Kingdom was now tied to a wild warhorse. If they couldn’t destroy the enemy, they would only be left with the option of dying.

“Click, click!”

The sound of horseshoes hitting the relatively solid grass. Kailun and Holy Maiden Chrissy were riding the same horse, leisurely approaching the main battlefield.

“The entire Xiya Kingdom couldn’t even muster a single 8th-rank. Why do you dare to do something so crazy?”

More than ten minutes had passed since they signed the contract. Chrissy still couldn’t understand where Kailun’s confidence came from.

Kailun kindly answered her, “Do you think I look like a human traitor?
Do you think I might be a spy for the Abyss, deliberately luring the Divine Temple’s troops here to deal with me?
Hmm, if I were a spy, I would definitely wipe out everyone who came to rescue you. It’s just an 8th-rank. The Xiya Kingdom doesn’t have one, but that doesn’t mean the Abyss doesn’t.”

Kailun smiled and made a friendly joke with Chrissy.

Chrissy: “!!!”

Although Kailun used a joking tone, she felt that it was very possible.

Even though Kailun’s warm chest was pressed against her back, she felt a chill down her spine.

Was it possible, she meant, was it possible that Kailun was telling the truth?

If it was really like he said, an 8th-rank Kailson would probably be killed if he came to the rescue.

“You’re joking, right?” Chrissy asked with a mournful face.

Kailun nodded, “Yes, I am joking.”

Chrissy: “…”

Only a fool would believe that Kailun was joking.

“Don’t disbelieve me. Think about it. I’m just a plain, ordinary 1st-rank magician. How could I possibly have contact with the Abyss? I think my only advantages are that I’m handsome, humorous, and I last longer.
Even if you, the Divine Temple, label me as a traitor, I will still act in the interests of humanity, unless…”

Seeing that Chrissy didn’t believe he was joking, Kailun added a sentence.

Chrissy turned her head and looked at Kailun’s expression with her peripheral vision, “Unless?”

Kailun’s expression turned incredibly serious, “Unless they pay more.”

This conversation was going nowhere. She couldn’t tell which of Kailun’s words were true and which were false.

The only thing she could do was find a chance to send a message, allowing those who came to rescue her to prepare.

She was currently carrying a simple communication device that could be used to send magic letters. She needed a chance to get out of Kailun’s sight.

“That… I need to use the restroom. Can you put me down?”

Chrissy covered her smooth stomach with her hand, pretending to be uncomfortable. Her pitiful expression would move most people.

Kailun calmly shook his head, “No. How do I know you won’t escape? If you really can’t hold it, just relieve yourself on the horse’s back. Or I can help you hold your legs up.
If you dare to soil my clothes, I’ll make you lick it clean.”

“…Are you a pervert?” Chrissy couldn’t help but ask.

“Thanks for the compliment. To let you see my true nature, I’ll show you a more perverted side of me tonight. I hope you’ll like it.”

Kailun’s gaze went beyond Chrissy and towards the battlefield in the distance. The battle there had ended, half an hour earlier than he had expected.

“Why don’t you just kill me? I regret signing the contract with you.”

Chrissy clutched her head in pain. As a pure Holy Maiden, she couldn’t imagine what kind of cruel treatment she would face later.

No man other than Kailun had ever touched her body. Even the Holy Son, who seemed close to her, had to stand three meters away when he spoke.

For Chrissy, her current situation was beyond bad. It was even safe to call it despair.

Because of the limited space of the saddle, she could only press tightly against Kailun. As a result, her sensitive buttocks were right in front of him, in a very awkward position.

That wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was that this demon was actually aroused by her body. She could feel a certain invasive object pressing against her butt, falling under her skirt.

The bumps from the little mare’s every jump and trot made her feelings clearer, causing her body to react strangely.

Chrissy felt her face start to burn. A strange feeling arose in her lower abdomen.

Her body became limp, as if she couldn’t muster any strength.

“Be sensible. If you’re alive, you can still know what I’ve done. But if you’re dead, I won’t be polite…”

Kailun’s strange laughter made Chrissy’s scalp tingle. Now, she didn’t even dare to die.

She shrunk her neck pitifully and retreated into her own world.

Kailun took Chrissy to the main battlefield. It was now in the stage of packing up the prisoners and cleaning the battlefield.

Huge cannon craters were everywhere on the hillside. There were countless casualties. In this grand fireworks display, at least twenty thousand members of the Divine Temple had perished.

Adding the subsequent encirclement, the number was close to thirty thousand. Kailun felt a little sorry for the huge losses. After all, they were his miners now.

Looking at the rest of the people being put in inferior magic-proof collars, Kailun wiped the nonexistent tears from the corner of his eyes and sighed, “I’m still too kind. I can’t bear to see this kind of scene.
If only they could surrender on the spot. So, the people of the Divine Temple are the real culprits!”

Hearing Kailun’s complaints, Chrissy wanted to laugh but couldn’t.

Before Chrissy could mock Kailun, he picked her up by the neck and put her on the ground. Then, he tied her wrists with a rope.

“What are you doing?” Chrissy asked Kailun, puzzled.

Kailun raised an eyebrow, “Walking the dog.”

He had just noticed that Afra was walking towards him, so he instinctively wanted to throw Chrissy down.

He was probably a little uneasy.

After all, his wife was fighting on the main battlefield, while he was playing with the Holy Maiden in the rear. There was a bit of guilt about cheating, no matter how you looked at it.

Fortunately, Kailun had a thick skin and a clear understanding of himself. So, he smiled and rode towards where Afra was.

“Slow down!”

Chrissy, with her wrists bound, could only follow tearfully. If she fell, she would not only tear her clothes but also might even scratch her face.

Her body hadn’t recovered yet. She still had a strange, soft and delicate feeling. Every step she took was like she was about to fall.

For this dangerous behavior, Kailun simply comforted her perfunctorily, “Don’t worry. I know healing magic. As long as you’re still breathing, I can save you.”

【Chrissy, enraged in her heart, cursed your eighteen generations of ancestors. Favorability -2, Total Favorability -82】

Kailun nodded, adding another mark for Chrissy in his mental notebook. If he could write it down, it would be a check mark.

To express his sincere gratitude to Chrissy, he, the hospitable host, would invite her to temporarily become a member of his family tree, making her call him “Daddy” in certain situations.

With this optimistic attitude, Kailun ignored Chrissy’s insults.

“Afra, you’ve worked hard. You can let others handle the cleaning of the battlefield. Go back to the mobile palace and rest.”

Looking at Afra, who was approaching, Kailun persuaded her.

“This is the Holy Maiden of the Divine Temple?” Afra shook her head and looked directly at the miserable but beautiful Holy Maiden Chrissy.

Afra’s cold and pretty face was flushed with a few streaks of blood. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

She was the monarch on the battlefield at this moment. She possessed unique charm. She was arrogant and cold, like a winter plum blossom.

The reason she frowned wasn’t because she disliked Kailun bringing another woman back. It was simply because she didn’t like Chrissy. In simple terms, they didn’t get along.

“That’s right. But this girl has a terrible personality. Even if she passes a dog, she has to chase after it and bite it.”

Kailun tugged on the rope, pulling the Holy Maiden to stand beside him.

“You have a terrible personality. Your whole family has a terrible personality!” Chrissy, used to being free, finally shouted.

She had figured it out. Even if she couldn’t escape for now, she would still anger Kailun. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to vent her frustration.

Even if she was being bullied, she would be bullied while standing.

“See? Still disobedient.” Kailun reached out to touch the Holy Maiden’s head, but she viciously bit down on his hand.

It was just that her speed was far slower than Kailun’s. Just as she was about to bite him, Kailun’s shoe had already replaced his hand.

“Click!”

Biting on the shoe, which was made of a special thin metal, Chrissy almost chipped her teeth.

She blinked her watery eyes, resentfully glared at Kailun, and reluctantly released his shoe, constantly wiping her mouth with her sleeve.

After seeing this, Afra thought for a moment and asked, “Can I join you when you train her?”

She suddenly had the urge to bully Chrissy with Kailun.

Seeing Chrissy baring her teeth at Kailun and even biting him, her dislike for her grew even stronger.

In her opinion, a pet should act like a pet. At the very least, she should be as obedient as Winnie.

Kailun grinned, “Of course.”

Hearing the two of them casually arranging her future, Chrissy’s heart sank.

She was both hoping for someone to rescue her and worrying that the rescuers would fall into the Abyss’s ambush and be wiped out. She was incredibly conflicted.

…

“What?!”

“The Holy Maiden was captured. And she was captured alive by Kailun?”

“You useless pieces of trash! How dare you have the face to come back alive!”

The Holy Son was furious when he received news of the defeat on the front line.

They were truly useless! Not only did one hundred and fifty thousand troops fail to conquer the Xiya Kingdom, but they couldn’t even protect the Holy Maiden.

To avoid taking responsibility, they even said that Chrissy was a spy, that she was responsible for the war’s failure.

That was just ridiculous. Chrissy had grown up in the Divine Temple since she was a child. Her loyalty to the Pope was higher than his. He was the first one who wouldn’t believe that the Holy Maiden was an spy.

But none of that mattered. The important thing was that the Holy Maiden was captured alive by that pervert, Kailun!

According to the intelligence they had received, Kailun was not only cunning and unpredictable but also a notorious lecher. All five of the Xiya Kingdom’s most beautiful women were under his control.

The intelligence also said that he went to the Loya Ball once and took the entire Loya dance troupe home. And there was no news of him releasing those dancing girls.

This showed just how much of a sex maniac Kailun was.

To make a good impression on Chrissy, he even wore a mask when he went to brothels. He didn’t dare to be as arrogant as Kailun.

Even though he had countless desires in his heart, he suppressed his urges and secretly found others to vent them.

Could the Holy Maiden Chrissy, who was so beautiful that everyone in the Divine Temple was captivated by her, escape Kailun’s clutches?

The Holy Son didn’t dare to think about it. He was afraid that by the time he arrived, the Holy Maiden would have already given birth to a child.

“Damn it! You guys quickly go back and rescue the Holy Maiden. If she’s harmed in any way, I will have your names engraved on the Temple’s pillar of shame!”

Within ten minutes, the Holy Son had written dozens of magic letters, most of which contained insulting language.

Even though his magic power was almost drained, the Holy Son continued to write, one insulting word after another. He wrote them on the magic letters and sent them to Justin and the others.

He was currently three or four days away from the Malaga Kingdom. By the time he arrived, the Holy Maiden might have already been filled with strange things.

Although he forced himself not to think about it, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken when he thought about Kailun’s “notorious deeds.”

She was his beloved Holy Maiden. He loved her so much that he didn’t even dare to get too close to her, fearing that he would disturb her and make her dislike him.

But now, the woman he had never touched was kidnapped by a sex maniac…

“Aaaaaah! Damn Kailun! I’m going to kill you! A thousand times, ten thousand times won’t be enough!”

The Holy Son tore up the letter in front of him, which hadn’t been finished, and clutched his head in pain.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

He banged his forehead on the table until the table shattered. Then, he calmed down a bit. If the Holy Maiden was really harmed… he would still take the injured Holy Maiden.

After all, it wasn’t her fault. It was that bastard Kailun’s fault.

“No, I have to get Kailson to come out of retirement. Otherwise, no one can save Chrissy. If the Divine Temple’s subsequent powerhouses arrive, she might even have a child.”

The Holy Son shook his head in panic and stumbled out of the house.

Half an hour later, he arrived in front of Kailson’s mansion and shouted, “Kailson, I agree to your request. As long as you can help me rescue Chrissy, I agree to recommend your grandson to be a candidate for the Holy Son.”

He would never have been willing to give Kailson’s grandson a candidate slot. The other man was just too weak.

But now, he only had this one bargaining chip that could persuade Kailson. He had to make this painful sacrifice.

As soon as the Holy Son finished speaking, an old man wearing a magician’s robe appeared in front of him, “The previous condition was a candidate slot for the Holy Son. But it’s not enough now. You have to add a candidate slot for the Holy Maiden.”

The Holy Son was conflicted, “But I don’t have the authority to decide for Chrissy.”

He knew clearly that Kailson was taking advantage of the situation. The news of the Holy Maiden’s capture must have reached many people by now.

He didn’t know why, but he hadn’t received any instructions from the Pope yet. Otherwise, with one order, Kailson would have to obediently help him rescue the Holy Maiden, instead of demanding such a high price.

“You can try to persuade her. I only need your promise.” Kailson said coldly.

If he didn’t get enough benefits, he would rather stay at home and study magic.

The Holy Son and the Holy Maiden were important to him, but not that important. The ten-year turnover was just a long-term research project for them, who lived long lives.

Normally, a Pope could last through dozens of Holy Sons and Holy Maidens.

The current Empress and Pope had just ascended the throne. They were at their youngest stage. The current Holy Son and Holy Maiden had almost no chance of succeeding. So, their status wasn’t as noble as those of previous generations.

“I promise you. But I can’t guarantee that she will agree. If you can rescue her from the demon’s hands, I think she won’t refuse.” The Holy Son gritted his teeth.

“That’s perfect. Wait for me to pack my luggage.” Kailson nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and slowly walked towards the mansion.

“What are you packing? Shouldn’t we rush to the Xiya Kingdom now?”

The situation was urgent. The Holy Son didn’t understand what Kailson wanted to do.

“No rush. We need to bring enough food for the journey and the magic scrolls I might want to study. It would be a waste not to study during the three or four days of travel.
Besides, it’s just a small country with no 8th-ranks. When I get close, I’ll just use a Grand Silence spell. They’ll be lambs to the slaughter.”

Kailson waved his hand at the Holy Son without looking back.

In his opinion, the Holy Son would probably take another hundred years to reach 8th-rank after cultivating the next generation. By that time, he might be touching the barrier of 9th-rank.

That’s why Kailson wasn’t worried at all that the Holy Son would hold a grudge against him.

Hearing Kailson’s words, the Holy Son clenched his fists.

If not for the Abyss’s unrest, the Divine Temple would have many forces it could use. Otherwise, why would they be so strapped for resources because of an 8th-rank?

“Damn Abyss! Damn Kailun! You guys are waiting for me. I will wipe you all out!”

The Holy Son stomped his feet in fury, his face contorted with anger.

【Anger from an unknown Holy Son. Favorability -70】

…

At five o’clock in the afternoon, the entire battlefield had been cleaned up. Kailun had one thousand soldiers escort more than one hundred thousand miners to Duke Stamp’s territory.

These miners, whose powers had been sealed, had no way to resist the strength of one thousand soldiers.

After a brief rest, most of them would set off at night and continue attacking the Malaga Kingdom. There were three days left before Kailun’s seven-day deadline.

At six o’clock in the evening, Kailun returned to the mobile palace, carrying a black sack. Afra returned with him.

Seeing Kailun return with a large sack, the little princess, Vivian, who was playing chess with Isabella, quickly stood up and asked, “Is it something delicious?”

“No, it’s a new pet.”

As he spoke, Kailun threw the sack into the corner. Vivian heard a gasp coming from the sack.

The voice was very nice. It should be a beautiful woman.

She didn’t need to guess. The “pet” in Kailun’s mouth was a woman.

“Who is she?” Vivian leaned over to the sack and poked it.

She seemed to poke something soft. It was soft and bouncy, bigger than her sister’s. It was almost as big as Ella’s.

“Hmm~”

A soft hum came from the sack. She could hear the anger in her voice.

Afra calmly glanced at the sack and went back to her room. She had to wash herself and change into clean clothes.

“Oh, right, where are Shirley and the older princess? Why didn’t I see them?”

Kailun squatted beside Vivian, untying the rope on the sack and asking.

“Shirley went to the kitchen to steal food. My sister locked herself in her room after eating the candy you gave me. She hasn’t come out all day.”

Vivian withdrew her hand with envy. It was so good. She wanted to be that big too.

“Good job. The older princess should be punished. The candy’s effects will last for twenty-four hours. I’ll go find her when it’s almost over.”

Kailun praised Vivian. She was becoming more and more like the little devil in his memory.

If he had free time, he would have the urge to relive those times with Vivian.

“Don’t look at me like that. It’s scary.” Vivian squatted a little further away, after exchanging glances with Kailun.

“Such a coward.”

Kailun laughed and untied the complicated knot.

As the sack opened, everyone in the living room saw a beautiful girl who was incredibly stunning. Even Winnie, who was hiding under the table, unconsciously moved closer.

She had messy but beautiful golden hair, a perfectly pure face, a fair neck, delicate collarbones, and a devilish figure that was both vulgar and alluring.

Of course, the most eye-catching was her pair of legs, which could be considered a masterpiece of the world.

It was just that Chrissy had lost her stockings, leaving only the leg ring.

Before he returned, Kailun had stuffed her torn stockings into her mouth, making her look even more pitiful than Winnie.

If Vivian had to describe Chrissy, she would say that she was the pinnacle of pure desire.

As a girl herself, she couldn’t help but want to bully Chrissy, let alone the Great Demon King, Kailun.

“Who is she?” Vivian asked again.

“Holy Maiden Chrissy. One of the Divine Temple’s representatives.” Kailun said, taking the stockings out of Chrissy’s mouth. Then, he untied the rope on her hands.

“Why are you doing this to me? Didn’t I agree to go with you? It’s one thing to hang me on the horse’s back, but why stuff me in a sack?”

Chrissy looked at Kailun with a face full of grievance. Her eyes sparkled with tears, precious holy water.

“I’m sorry. I brought the sack out. I would feel uneasy if I didn’t put something in it. Understand, understand.” Kailun smiled and stroked Chrissy’s head.

“Don’t touch me, you demon!” Chrissy, who was still angry, slapped Kailun’s hand away.

【Grieving and uncomfortable, Chrissy’s favorability decreases. -3】

“Oh! She’s so bold!”

Seeing Chrissy’s daring behavior, Winnie’s eyes sparkled.

She saw her own reflection in Chrissy. Wasn’t she just as bold?

But Kailun had dulled her edges, pierced her heart, and even kicked her off the bed when she was moved.

From then on, Winnie understood her position. Before her parents left the Xiya Kingdom, she decided to stop resisting Kailun.

“She’s indeed quite bold. She’s your kind. As a senior, you should take care of the newcomer, okay?” Kailun turned to Winnie and said.

The latter nodded repeatedly, “Hmm, hmm!”

“You really brought the Holy Maiden of the Divine Temple back. You’re really too bold.
But isn’t the Holy Maiden of the Divine Temple a 7th-rank from the start? Why was she so easily captured by you? It couldn’t have been a gift, could it?”

Vivian, mimicking Kailun, stroked Chrissy’s head.

This time, Chrissy didn’t slap Vivian’s hand away. Instead, she looked at the latter in surprise.

“You’re right. She did give herself to me. The whole process took less than a second. She submitted to me.”

Kailun picked up the torn stockings on the ground and wiped Chrissy’s face. Her little face was dirty and not as beautiful as before.

“Why? Why are there such talented girls here?” Chrissy looked at Vivian and mumbled.

She felt the same talent in Vivian. This meant that Vivian also had the potential to become a Holy Maiden, and she could even be more outstanding than her.

“What a pity. You have the potential to be a Holy Maiden, but you can only be an enemy of the Divine Temple. What a pity.”

Chrissy shook her head, looking at Vivian with a pitying expression.

If she wasn’t an enemy, she would have made Vivian her candidate for the Holy Maiden.

Vivian blinked her eyes, looking at Kailun in confusion.

“There’s nothing to pity. The so-called Holy Maiden is just a tribute to the Pope and the Emperor. It’s not a good choice.”

Kailun put his hand on Vivian’s face. It was only now that he understood why Vivian, who had “died prematurely” in his previous life, was also an important character.

It seemed that she had also participated in subsequent major events after his death.

He just didn’t know if she was on the side of humanity or the Abyss.

Vivian looked into Kailun’s eyes. This time, she saw a rare gentleness in his eyes, as if he was recalling something. It seemed like something related to her.

But Vivian searched every corner of her memory and couldn’t find any experience worth his gentle treatment.

“What are you talking about? What does ‘tribute to the Pope’ mean?” Chrissy suddenly looked at Kailun. Hearing the word “tribute,” her heart beat wildly.

She had last heard this word when she was chasing the previous Holy Maiden, the Temple’s traitor.

“Oh, it seems our Holy Maiden doesn’t understand at all. Don’t worry. I’ll tell you all the secrets of the Temple tonight and make you see their true nature.
You know? Your so-called Pope doesn’t care about you at all. Even though you were captured, I didn’t feel any anger from her.
Listen carefully. Not a single bit of anger.”

Kailun smiled evilly at Chrissy.

He loved to paint pure things with his own colors.

He wanted to see how far Holy Maiden Chrissy would be corrupted with his help.

How to turn the Divine Temple’s lapdog into his plush ball. That was the topic of tonight’s research.

Chapter 94: You Wouldn’t Want Others to Know, Would You?

“You caught her that easily?”

Eve, standing beside Kailun, looked at the legendary Holy Maiden, who had been captured so easily, in disbelief.

In her eyes, this Holy Maiden hadn’t resisted at all. She had simply been put in a collar. The whole process was incredibly harmonious, as if she had willingly betrayed them.

No, she should say self-sacrificed.

She had been worried about Kailun’s safety, but now it seemed completely unnecessary.

“Of course. We have to thank our Holy Maiden for being so obedient. She didn’t even resist when I captured her.”

Kailun admired Chrissy’s alluring figure while reaching out to Eve, “Get me the magic bow I prepared earlier. It’s time for a new hunt.”

“Oh, oh!” Eve nodded repeatedly. She handed Kailun the black longbow she was carrying on her back.

It was a special longbow with complex magic circuits engraved on it. It was a magic-powered weapon.

Due to some defects, this type of longbow quickly disappeared from the war. For magicians, times had changed. This thing was far less convenient and practical than magic.

But it was different for Kailun. Because of his innate characteristics, he could fully allocate his magic power, saving him from having to allocate spirit power when casting spells.

For him, this was the best way to touch 8th-rank.

Holding the advanced longbow in his hand, Kailun was in a good mood.

Feeling the magic power gradually expanding in Kailun’s body, Chrissy finally realized the truth. She struggled, “Release me. I’m the Holy Maiden of the Divine Temple. If you dare to touch me, the Pope will never forgive you.”

“Slap!”

Kailun swung the longbow and slapped Chrissy’s curvy buttocks. As the sound echoed, he saw the waves of flesh rolling.

He had already known that Chrissy had a great figure. She was the perfect material for training into a plush ball.

Thanks to the Divine Temple. Not only did they send him so many miners, but they also sent him such a perfect Holy Maiden.

To repay the Divine Temple’s kindness, he would carefully cultivate the Holy Maiden and strive to make her a true spy.

“Holy Maiden, you’re so interesting. You came knocking on my door, and now you want me to release you.
But I’m a kind person. If you order Justin and Paul to commit suicide, I’ll release you. If you don’t believe me, we can sign a contract.”

As he spoke, Kailun slapped her buttocks again with the longbow.

Chrissy wasn’t bound yet. She used her waist strength to push herself up from the horse’s back and sat in front of Kailun. Kailun didn’t choose to stop her.

In this world, magic power was the root of all power systems. Once a magic-proof collar was put on, even a Knight was only a few times stronger than an ordinary person.

“Holy Maiden, don’t listen to his nonsense. Kailun is a liar. He’s just trying to sow discord.
Just wait. We’ll find a way to rescue you. The Divine Temple will never abandon anyone.”

Justin quickly shouted to the Holy Maiden. He was leading his troops to retreat slowly.

A frontal retreat was no longer possible, but they could still escape into the mountains along both sides of the stream, seeking a glimmer of hope.

Paul looked at Chrissy, who was riding the same horse as Kailun, with a sense of discomfort. His heart was filled with jealousy.

But now, he didn’t even have the courage to look at Kailun. When he saw Kailun take out the longbow, he even instinctively lowered his head, afraid that he would be targeted.

In terms of psychological trauma from Kailun, Paul had the most.

As if sensing Paul’s change, Harry directly lifted Paul by the neck and placed him on his warhorse, “It’s okay. You have me. I’ll take you with me when we run.”

Paul: “…”

He felt both touched and uncomfortable. He was about to completely fall.

As Justin and the others prepared to retreat, Kailun didn’t forget to sow discord between the Holy Maiden and them, “Look, they’re all going to abandon you and run away.”

Chrissy looked at Kailun coldly, “You’ll regret this. You’ve angered the Divine Temple. You will suffer a devastating blow.”

“How boring. I’ve heard that line countless times. If your Pope truly hates me, then I’ll be very grateful to her.”

Kailun said, using his finger to stroke Chrissy’s chin.

He would indeed be grateful to her, because her hatred would turn into his strength.

His true thoughts were successfully conveyed to Chrissy, making her even more confused about what Kailun was thinking.

An ordinary person would be scared to pee their pants when they heard the Pope’s name. At the very least, they would be extremely cautious.

But this person was clearly excited. He was excited that the Pope would hold a grudge against him!

Chrissy shivered. She felt like she had fallen into a den of demons. The person sitting in front of her was a lawless Great Demon King.

He was more terrifying than the demons of the Abyss from the rumors.

With her peripheral vision, she noticed the dagger handle sticking out from Kailun’s pocket. Without hesitation, Chrissy used her body to ram into Kailun. Her right hand seemed to reach for Kailun’s neck, but her left hand secretly reached into Kailun’s pocket, trying to grab the sharp dagger.

If she could use this poisoned dagger to cut Kailun’s skin, she would still have a chance to turn the tide.

They were so close, and Kailun was holding a longbow. She felt that she had a slight chance.

She would rather fight than sit and wait for death.

“Click!”

In a split second, Kailun locked Chrissy’s two slender wrists together.

Because of the large range of motion, her bones made a cracking sound.

With Chrissy’s body flexibility, it wouldn’t be so easy to break, but it did hurt.

At the same time, Justin and the others began to flee on a large scale. Kailun didn’t mind. He didn’t intend to exterminate them.

Justin still owed him five thousand miners. He had to make him pay.

【Ouch, ouch, ouch… For you, you stupid fool who doesn’t know how to cherish beauty, Chrissy cursed your family in her heart. Favorability continues to decrease. Current Total Favorability -50】

“Thank you for your generosity, Holy Maiden. I’ll happily accept your hatred.”

Feeling the influx of a large amount of attribute points, Kailun’s mood became even more cheerful.

Although he hadn’t reached 8th-rank yet, he was one step closer.

Kailun put the longbow aside and took out the dagger he had deliberately exposed, spinning it in his hand, “It seems to be poisoned. Holy Maiden, would you like a taste?”

Chrissy, who had already fallen into Kailun’s arms, looked at the dagger in front of her and closed her eyes in discomfort.

She now understood what Paul and the others meant by being manipulated.

This wasn’t about having fun. It was about becoming the fun itself!

Chrissy regretted it deeply. If only she had obediently invited Kailson out of retirement.

She wanted to escape reality, but Kailun wouldn’t let her.

“Whoosh!”

It was the sound of stockings tearing. Chrissy suddenly opened her eyes and found that Kailun was using the poisoned dagger to cut open her stockings.

The worst part was that he was even saying, “I heard that the Holy Maiden’s holy water can cure all poisons. I wonder if Holy Maiden can cure the poison she’s taken?”

“Hmm~” Chrissy tried to push Kailun’s hand away, but her locked arms and wrists hurt even more when she moved.

Because of the pain, she could only continue to lean on Kailun’s chest, unable to even lift her head.

“I didn’t expect the Holy Maiden to have such a strong personality. But judging by your reaction, you probably can’t cure the poison you’ve taken. That’s a pity.”

After tearing Chrissy’s stockings to shreds, Kailun put away the dagger and hugged her, placing her in front of him so that her back was pressed against his body.

Then, Kailun manipulated Chrissy’s hand to grasp the longbow, aiming at the fleeing Divine Temple troops.

Chrissy asked in panic, “What are you trying to do?”

“What am I trying to do? I’m helping our poor Holy Maiden to eliminate the shameless traitors. Look, they dare to abandon the noble Holy Maiden and run away. Shouldn’t they be punished for such behavior?”

Kailun gathered his magic power and channeled it into Chrissy’s body, helping her to slowly draw the nonexistent bowstring.

“No! Please don’t do this!”

Feeling Kailun’s magic flowing through her and into the longbow, Chrissy’s face was filled with terror.

Kailun’s magic power was just too much and too pure. It was so pure that there was no trace of impurities.

This shouldn’t be possible in theory. But she was witnessing it on a 1st-rank magician.

The vast magic power forcefully filled her magic circuits, flowing freely through her body, giving her a tingling and numb sensation.

“No! It’s too much! It’s going to break! The magic circuits are going to break…”

Chrissy, in Kailun’s arms, twisted her alluring body, begging for Kailun’s forgiveness, “No, it’s no good. It’s going to explode. I can’t hold it in anymore.”

“Don’t be afraid. Transfer all your magic power to the longbow. Yes, like that.”

Kailun leaned on Chrissy’s shoulder and blew into her ear, “A little to the left. Yes, there are the most people here. Aim here and shoot hard.
Relax, don’t rush. I’ll teach you slowly. You’ll get used to it soon. Now, listen to my command… Shoot!”

Chrissy, whose mind was in a daze from Kailun’s terrifying magic power, unconsciously released the magic bowstring.

“Whoosh!”

With a piercing sound, a blue magic arrow shot into the center of the Divine Temple cavalry formation.

“Boom!”

A dazzling blue light flashed in the magnificent explosion, like beautiful fireworks.

“Congratulations, Holy Maiden, on achieving the accomplishment of killing your comrades.” Kailun gently bit her delicate earlobe, “Did you see their eyes?
Confusion, anger, despair… They’ll tell the Pope that you killed your comrades. Then, you will become a traitor.”

As he spoke, Kailun raised the longbow again with Chrissy, aiming it, “Don’t be afraid. I’m willing to help you kill them. All you have to do is aim.
You can’t let them spread this. Otherwise, your Holy Maiden image will be ruined. The only way to…”

Words infused with mental pollution already had the power to manipulate people’s hearts. Coupled with the washing of vast magic power, Chrissy, for a moment, actually moved as Kailun had requested.

She drew the bow and released the arrow. Everything was so natural. In the eyes of Justin and the others, Chrissy really wanted to kill them.

They seemed to have found the reason for their defeat.

Whether it was true or not, they could first pin the blame on the Holy Maiden. As for how to decide, the Pope would judge for herself.

“Holy Maiden, don’t do this to yourself!” Justin howled, speeding up his escape.

Perhaps it was his howl that caught Chrissy’s attention. Her vacant gaze turned to Justin, and she aimed the longbow at him.

“Whoosh!”

An arrow flew, exploding in the crowd. Although Justin escaped by chance, the Second Prince was blown in half. His upper body flew onto Paul, and his lower body landed on a tree.

Lodis looked at Paul in a daze, “Why do I feel a little pain in my waist? Why did I suddenly fly?”

Paul: “…”

“Plop!” Paul didn’t respond. He turned and threw Lodis to the ground.

He was beyond saving. No one would care about him.

“Currently, the conflict between Kailun and the Divine Temple has escalated. The Second Prince is now expendable.”

Harry, who was sitting behind, holding Paul’s waist, added.

From the moment Kailun kidnapped the Holy Maiden, this matter had escalated from a simple war conflict to a matter of face for the Divine Temple.

In Harry’s opinion, Kailun was finished. Even an 8th-rank couldn’t save him.

…

Kailun calculated Chrissy’s body’s endurance limit. After she had shot a dozen arrows, he stopped channeling his magic power.

He first praised Chrissy, “Well done. You personally killed a large group of followers. Your achievements will be sung by them.”

Then, Kailun looked at the young knight, Eve, who was looking at him with envious eyes, “Chase them properly. You can let Justin and the main players go. As for the rest, it doesn’t matter if you capture them or kill them on the spot.”

“Understood!”

Eve nodded solemnly. She waved her hand, and ten thousand Knights began to chase.

In terms of talent, Eve was more suitable for commanding. So, Kailun entrusted her with the task of finishing things off.

As for the other two young knights, who were better suited for the front line, they were led by Afra. They were currently in the middle of harvesting the front line.

After Eve left with her troops, only Kailun and Chrissy remained by the stream, sitting on horseback. Chrissy had barely recovered to normal.

【For this act of killing your comrades, Chrissy resents both herself and you. Favorability -10】

Out of anger at being manipulated, Chrissy turned her head and bit at Kailun’s face.

“Click!”

In less than a second, Kailun grabbed her neck.

Kailun said, “I didn’t expect our Holy Maiden to have such a fiery personality. You’re the most resistant person I’ve met. That certain princess almost hated me to death, but she didn’t dare to attack. It’s so boring.”

The intense feeling of suffocation made Chrissy keep hitting Kailun’s hand. Seeing that it was ineffective, she scratched Kailun’s skin with her nails.

But with her current strength, she could only leave a shallow red mark, which would disappear naturally in less than five seconds.

“Let me think. What weakness does the Holy Maiden have? I remember that you were raised by the Pope. You have no father or mother, so there’s no one to threaten.
From what I know about you, you probably don’t have a lover either. So, there’s no way to get to you from that angle.
What should I do…”

Kailun continued to analyze with a smile on his face, but his hand never left Chrissy’s neck.

Watching her struggle, opening and closing her eyes, scratching his arm, and seeing her favorability dropping, Kailun felt no emotion.

For a wild horse like this, only by making her feel the difference between life and death and then threatening her in a special way could he achieve the best results.

Feeling her resistance weaken, watching her face turn ashen, Kailun said, “Oh, right. I remember now. You seem to care a lot about that hypocritical Pope.
If I were to reveal that she’s a woman, the Divine Temple would have an interesting reaction, wouldn’t they?”

Chrissy: “!!!”

She sat up in shock. Her arms, which had almost dropped, grabbed Kailun’s wrist again.

She widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Kailun, wondering how he could even know such a secret.

If she had anyone she cared about, it was the Pope.

As one of the Temple’s high-ranking officials, she knew clearly what kind of disastrous impact it would have if this secret was revealed.

“Oh, right. Don’t worry. I won’t have trouble finding proof that the Pope is a woman. I think not only you and the Holy Son know about this, but also the previous Holy Maiden, who escaped, knows, right?
Tell me, do you think I might know the previous Holy Maiden?”

Kailun continued to weave his lies. But how could he know the previous Holy Maiden? He didn’t even know her name.

For some special reasons, her name had become taboo in the Temple. No one dared to mention it.

To this day, the Temple hadn’t stopped hunting for that Holy Maiden.

But Chrissy didn’t know that Kailun was lying. She widened her eyes, which were already wide. If Kailun could release her neck, maybe she could fit an egg in her open mouth.

Seeing that Chrissy believed his words, Kailun released her neck.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Chrissy, breathing fresh air again, coughed continuously. She tilted her head, tears welling up from her lack of oxygen, and looked at Kailun’s face.

“If you don’t want me to reveal this secret, don’t try to die, okay?
I want a living, beautiful plush ball, not a beautiful corpse.”

Kailun stroked her face and made his request.

After a brief interaction, he discovered that Chrissy’s personality was too fiery. It was completely different from her alluring appearance.

Her favorability was already at -60, and she was willing to fight him to the death. If it dropped even lower, she might commit suicide out of shame.

That wasn’t the outcome Kailun wanted to see. If such a delicious cabbage and tool were to die like this, he would be sad.

Hmm… He would be sad for a whole day.

“Just kill me.” Chrissy looked at Kailun with hatred in her eyes.

“No, what’s the point of killing you? I’ll repeat my request. I just want you to stop trying to kill yourself. Don’t attempt suicide.
Besides, if you can find a chance to escape, I won’t hold it against you. I won’t tell anyone this secret either.
As for trying to kill me? I advise you not to do that. If you killed me with your own hands, this secret would also be made public.”

As a demon who manipulated people’s hearts, Kailun chose to give Chrissy new hope.

Only then would she have the motivation to live, and only then would she bring Kailun new fun.

He didn’t plan to follow the usual route and brush her favorability down to -100. This time, he would directly try to brush her favorability positive using mental pollution.

Of course, the reason he didn’t choose to brush her down to -100 was because her heart was more resilient than ordinary people. Kailun couldn’t make her despair yet.

It would be difficult to achieve -100 in the short term, unless the Pope teleported here right now and crashed into his sword in front of Chrissy.

Only despair could make someone hate you thoroughly. Winnie and the others had already helped Kailun verify this result.

“Are you sure that even if I escape, you won’t reveal this secret?” Chrissy rubbed her neck and looked at Kailun with vigilance.

“Yes, whether you escape on your own or are rescued by the Divine Temple’s troops, I won’t reveal this secret. Even if they kill me, it’s the same.
But the prerequisite is that you can’t try to kill me. If you don’t believe me, we can sign a contract.”

Kailun took out a scroll from his pocket, filled it with content, and handed it to Chrissy.

Chrissy: “…”

She always felt that his actions were very practiced, as if he had rehearsed many times.

She took the contract scroll from Kailun. It did indeed contain the promises he had mentioned.

But it was too strange!

She was a noble Holy Maiden, and she had been easily captured. Why did she have to sign this kind of contract that even prevented her from committing suicide?

Once she signed the contract, she would only become a plaything. Before she escaped or was rescued, she would constantly approach becoming a plush ball.

She didn’t want to. She really didn’t want to. Even though Kailun was handsome enough, she still didn’t want to give herself to this demon.

She shouldn’t have come to the front line.

This wasn’t fun at all. She was clearly the one who had become Kailun’s entertainment.

“Holy Maiden, what are you hesitating for? You wouldn’t want the whole world to know that the Pope is a woman, would you?”

Kailun smiled kindly.

“I… I’ll sign!”

As if using all her strength, Chrissy signed the contract that prevented her from attacking Kailun or committing suicide.

“A wise choice. The Pope will definitely thank you for your contribution to the Divine Temple.”

After putting away the contract scroll, Kailun rubbed Chrissy’s head in satisfaction.

A contract couldn’t restrict Chrissy from committing suicide. What truly restricted her from committing suicide was Kailun’s promise when he signed the contract.

After all, the biggest price of the contract was the shattering of the soul, leading to death. It wouldn’t restrict Chrissy, who wanted to die.

If this contract could restrict Kailun from revealing the secret, she would keep her promise.

But she didn’t know that even if Kailun didn’t say anything, that stupid, fawning Holy Son would reveal the secret one day.

This was a classic case of hitting a bull with a roundabout blow.

Chrissy said, “I hope you keep your promise.”

“This time, I will!”

Kailun rubbed Chrissy’s long legs, which were clad in torn stockings, in satisfaction.

Although his own girls also had perfect long legs, he always felt that Chrissy’s were more unique. They were the kind of legs that you could play with for a whole year and never get tired of them.

Look at a person’s legs first. This was Kailun’s old tradition.

Kailun said, “Oh, right. Do you know what a plush ball is? I’ll teach you tonight.”

Chrissy bit her lip. She inexplicably wanted to cry.

【Thinking of the tragic fate she will face tonight, Chrissy feels like crying. Favorability continues to decrease. Current Total Favorability -80】

Chapter 93: The Holy Maiden is a spy? p2

…

At ten o’clock in the morning, the Divine Temple’s main force had already reached the Alaye Fortress.

Facing the solid Alaye Fortress, they chose to attack fiercely. All their magic was poured onto the magic barrier.

To quickly expand their gains, Justin directly pressed eight thousand troops to form a combined offensive and defensive formation and attacked the fortress fiercely.

He also left a thousand cavalry on each of the left and right flanks to defend. After all, the geographical location of the Alaye Fortress didn’t allow for him to be careless.

From a distance, the Alaye Fortress was built on the hillside where two mountain peaks met. In simple terms, it was the top of the “M.”

This meant that those attacking not only had to climb the hillside but also had to face the bombardment of magic from above. It would take a lot of casualties to capture it.

If not for the Holy Maiden personally supervising the battle from behind, the Divine Temple’s scattered troops might even have hesitated to charge.

The Divine Temple didn’t fight uphill battles. This joke wasn’t baseless.

But the good news was that this attack was much smoother than yesterday. In everyone’s feeling, the Xiya Kingdom’s resistance wasn’t strong. It felt like they were inviting them in.

It wasn’t until they reached one hundred meters from the city gate that the Xiya Kingdom’s side hastily increased their chaotic magic output.

As if to prevent them from getting close to the city wall and damaging the magic barrier at close range, the Alaye Fortress even sent out a warrior legion of twenty thousand to guard outside the city wall as a human wall.

It was all incomprehensible actions. Justin even asked his deputy, who also said he didn’t understand at all.

Because of his unease, Justin and the others’ main camp was even further away from the main battlefield this time.

“Lord Justin, should we continue the attack?” Justin’s deputy asked.

After the Xiya Kingdom’s side sent out twenty thousand warriors, who seemed to be sending themselves to their deaths, the main force slowed down their attack.

Justin didn’t choose to answer directly. He turned his gaze to the Holy Maiden Chrissy, who was sitting on the side.

Chrissy wasn’t even sitting in the main seat today.

“What are you looking at me for? I told you I wouldn’t fight for command, so you decide.” Chrissy, holding her biography novel, indicated that she wasn’t participating.

A feeling in the back of her mind told her that participating would make her take the blame.

“What does Harry think?” Justin, unable to get an answer from the Holy Maiden, looked at Harry, “Kailun is incredibly cunning. I can’t see through him, so I won’t give an opinion.”

Justin looked at Lodis and Paul again, feeling a headache. They were also very familiar with Kailun.

Lodis, seeing Justin looking at him, quickly covered his stomach, “Ah, my stomach hurts!”

Paul, seeing everyone looking at him, couldn’t refuse. So, he followed his heart, “I say we crush them with overwhelming force. Don’t be intimidated by those twenty thousand warriors.
Maybe it’s another one of Kailun’s tricks. He wants to waste our time and wait for his reinforcements.
Counting from the time when Kailun disappeared from the noble territory last time, his Silver Moon Knights should arrive on the battlefield this afternoon.”

“Good. I think Paul is right. Let’s attack directly. But to be safe, we’ll only send out five thousand men for the first probing attack. We’ll crush them completely.”

Justin slammed his hand on the table, making a decision.

Paul, seeing that his opinion was accepted, proudly looked at the Holy Maiden. But she was biting her nails and looking at her novel. Her attention wasn’t on him at all.

Harry, sitting next to Paul, gave him a doting look. In his opinion, Paul was still too young and didn’t know how to weigh the pros and cons.

But the future was long. He could slowly teach Paul how to mature.

With Justin’s order, the intensity of the war between the Divine Temple and the Xiya Kingdom reached its peak.

The Holy Maiden, who was pretending to read her novel, was actually secretly observing the situation on the battlefield. From her perspective, Justin’s five thousand troops quickly collided with the Xiya Kingdom’s twenty thousand warriors.

After a brief fight, the twenty thousand warriors were gradually defeated. They were pushed back to the edge of the city wall and only escaped to the foot of the city wall under the cover of the magicians on the wall.

This scene looked like a great victory for the Divine Temple, but only those at the front line with good eyesight saw the smiles on the faces of the magicians on the city wall.

“Whoosh!”

In everyone’s eyes, many holes suddenly appeared in the city wall of the Alaye Fortress, forming a continuous line. Row after row of magic cannons were pushed out.

The army, which was about to charge forward and devour the remaining warrior legion, stopped in unison. They looked up, holding their swords, and swallowed nervously.

This time, they desperately hoped that those magic cannons were just for show. But as they saw the black muzzles continuously brewing layer upon layer of magic formations, they abandoned this hope.

“Where are the magicians in the back? Quickly add shields!”

Someone in the legion couldn’t help but shout. It was this urging that made everyone come to their senses and retreat.

Even though the magicians in the distance were doing their best to add shields for them, they still didn’t feel safe.

From the moment the first person turned and ran, the second, the third, and the fourth followed…

In a short time, the five thousand troops at the front all began to retreat and flee. The thirty thousand reserve troops behind them also realized something was wrong. When they tried to retreat, dazzling fireballs had already erupted in the sky.

The terrifying magical fluctuations enveloped them, like the Grim Reaper swinging his scythe in the air.

The five thousand troops at the front collided with the thirty thousand troops behind them, creating a chaotic scene.

But the Grim Reaper’s scythe had swung down mercilessly.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

In the eyes of Justin and the others in the distance, the fire on the mountain formed a continuous line.

“Bang!”

“Damn it! How did the Xiya Kingdom get magic cannons? Those damn things are a specialty of the Rose Kingdom!”

Justin, furious, slammed his fist on the table in front of him and roared, “Those two kingdoms are at war! When did they collude?”

“Report! There are large-scale cavalry on both the east and west flanks. They are currently engaged in battle with our deployed cavalry.
But they have a significant advantage over us in both number and quality. The front-line commander requests a retreat.”

As Justin was venting his anger, a messenger brought even more desperate news.

He quickly walked out of the command tent and looked out. In his line of sight, his cavalry was retreating in a rout.

“Report! The main battlefield is suffering heavy casualties from the magic cannons. The front-line commander requests a retreat!”

Another messenger brought bad news.

Justin, furious, kicked the messenger to the ground, “I know! I saw it! I’m not blind!
Order them all to retreat. Let them retreat as much as they can!”

Looking at the main force, which was about to be completely surrounded, Justin almost had a stroke.

The warrior legion was probably doomed. The magicians… they were too slow. It would be difficult for them to escape. As for the Knights, they should be able to retreat some because the other side would have to surround the main force.

“What are those scouts doing? Why haven’t they reacted even though the other side’s cavalry is close?
It’s infuriating. I’ll definitely record their names and hang them on the Temple’s pillar of shame.”

Justin spat. His face was ashen.

Another messenger thought for a moment and said, “Lord Justin, actually, the scouts are all dead.”

Justin: “…”

He silently walked towards the messenger, wanting to kick this useless subordinate to death.

“Justin, don’t be anxious. The priority now is to minimize losses.” Harry walked out from inside and calmly patted him on the shoulder, “There are many suspicious things about this war. For example, why does the Xiya Kingdom have magic cannons? How did Kailun’s two Knights silently arrive…”

Looking at the miserable scene in front of him, he remembered his own past.

How similar it was. How coincidental it was.

Seeing his colleagues being manipulated by the same enemy, he felt a sense of relief.

‘It seems everyone’s about the same level.’ He thought this.

“Holy Maiden, where are you going?” As Justin was freaking out, he saw Chrissy quietly slipping out of the tent.

“Don’t worry. I’m just going out to call for reinforcements. I’ll be right back. Wait for me!”

She gave Justin an encouraging look and then ran away in front of everyone.

Although her running posture was incredibly graceful, the speed of her two beautiful legs was undeniable. It was definitely the level of a 7th-rank acceleration spell. She was even faster than a warhorse.

“Cough, cough. That Justin, you continue commanding. We’ll go protect the Holy Maiden’s safety and ask for reinforcements.”

Harry said he would cheer him on, but his feet were already moving.

Justin grabbed Harry’s arm. He was already crazy and asked cautiously, “Why are you so calm? Have you betrayed me? Or does the Pope want to eliminate me?”

“Get lost!”

Harry kicked Justin, “You’re not worthy of being noticed by the Pope. Have you lost your mind?
As for why I’m calm, have you forgotten that I was alone when I came out?
Where did everyone go? Kailun wiped them all out.”

Harry shrugged. They had all been through this.

Justin was silent. He finally sighed, “You guys go. I’ll see how many I can save. This is all my foundation. If I lose it all, I’ll be left with nothing.”

“No, you still have five thousand followers left.” The Second Prince, Lodis, who was walking behind, reminded him.

“Oh, right. I still have five thousand followers. Let’s go. I’ll retreat with you.” Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Justin decided to give up.

The current situation was beyond his control. With the Xiya Kingdom’s cannon barrage and the pincer attack, he had no chance of turning things around.

But thinking that Harry had lost his entire army while he still had five thousand left, he felt a little better.

He couldn’t blame himself for being too careless. He could only blame Kailun for being too outrageous. He had pulled out magic cannons, and not just a few, but fifty. Even the entire Rose Kingdom probably didn’t have two hundred, right?

“What about the rest?” The speaker was Paul.

“Have the main force disperse and retreat freely. We’ll gather the rest of the troops and meet at the border of the Malaga Kingdom.”

…

Ten minutes later, the group, with five thousand cavalry who were the fastest at retreating, ran back. As long as they could reach the second city, they could retreat safely.

Everyone except the Holy Maiden rode warhorses. They couldn’t reach the Holy Maiden’s speed. Even with magic enhancement, their bodies couldn’t last for a minute.

But as they passed a stream, they encountered the Holy Maiden Chrissy, who was standing by the stream.

“Kailun?!”

Just as they were about to ask the Holy Maiden why she wasn’t running, Paul’s exclamation caught their attention.

On the other side of the stream, Kailun, with ten thousand Knights, blocked their path.

“Long time no see, everyone. Are you satisfied with the gifts I sent you? I spent a lot of gold coins to deal with you this time. I hope you can compensate me later.” Kailun, riding on his warhorse, greeted them enthusiastically.

“You’re Kailun? But why are you only a 1st-rank?” Chrissy looked at Kailun, puzzled.

In the intelligence she had received, Kailun clearly had the ability to kill a 5th-rank in an instant. Even if he achieved this through forbidden drugs, his basic strength couldn’t possibly be a 1st-rank.

Kailun said, “As a commander, is strength important to me?”

“Holy Maiden, don’t waste your breath with him. Let’s break through together!” Seeing that the Holy Maiden was chatting with Kailun, Paul was very annoyed and interrupted their conversation.

“Oh, isn’t this little eunuch Paul? Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be so affectionate with your sister, your aunt, and your childhood sweetheart.”

Kailun said with a grateful heart, “Thank you, thank you. You’re a good person. You deserve to be spoiled by a good man.”

“Pfft!”

Hearing a string of familiar names, Paul was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire aura immediately wilted.

As Harry was busy rescuing Paul, Kailun scanned the crowd in front of him and said, “Leave the Holy Maiden behind. I can let the rest of you go.
I’ve set up ten checkpoints behind you. You won’t be able to escape.”

Although it was a lie, it was enough to make them waver.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!” Justin was the first to refuse.

If they dared to betray the Holy Maiden, the Pope would definitely have them eliminated later.

“Okay, I can agree to your request, but you have to come over personally.”

Chrissy smiled charmingly, revealing a captivating smile. She walked towards Kailun, one leg bare and the other in black stockings.

Her graceful figure and alluring gait made everyone lose their minds.

Kailun also seemed to be mesmerized. He quickly jumped off his warhorse and walked towards the Holy Maiden eagerly.

Paul, who had just vomited blood, watched this scene with a heartbroken expression. He had finally fallen for someone again. Why did this have to happen to him?

Under everyone’s gaze, they crossed the stream and stood together. Both of them were smiling. They were so sincere that no flaws could be found.

But in the eyes of Justin and the others, the Holy Maiden had secretly taken out a dagger. A flash of cold light could be seen from under her sleeve.

Seeing this, they couldn’t help but feel a new surge of hope.

Kailun was the core of the entire Xiya Kingdom. As long as the Holy Maiden could capture Kailun, they would have achieved ultimate victory.

The Xiya Kingdom without Kailun would no longer be a threat. As for whether the Holy Maiden could defeat Kailun?

Paul just wanted to say that whoever asked that question was ridiculous.

Holy Maiden Chrissy was a 7th-rank prodigy cultivated by the Temple. Her strength was considered very strong among those of the same level. Could a mere Kailun even be a match for her?

No one would believe that Kailun could win. Even if he relied on forbidden drugs, he couldn’t reach the Holy Maiden’s level.

“Come with me. You’re very much to my liking. You can be my plush ball.”

When they were only one meter apart, Kailun reached out his hand towards Chrissy.

“Okay~”

A mischievous glint flashed in Chrissy’s beautiful eyes.

She slowly raised her right hand. She planned to suddenly accelerate halfway through and use the dagger to hold Kailun’s neck, capturing him.

‘Just a 1st-rank, and he dares to act arrogantly in front of this Holy Maiden. He’s just a worm. You will pay for your arrogance!’ She thought this just before she made her move.

She saw that Kailun’s gaze was clearly fixed on her legs.

Chrissy was confident that no one her age could surpass her. After all, she was the Holy Maiden, cultivated by the Divine Temple with all its resources. No one else could possibly receive the same amount of resources or have a similar inheritance.

How old was Kailun?

Sixteen or seventeen? If Kailun could reach 7th-rank at this age, she wouldn’t believe it even if she died.

Just as Chrissy was about to threaten Kailun’s neck with the dagger, she suddenly noticed Kailun revealing an evil smile.

Confident and crazy. The familiar unease once again enveloped Chrissy’s mind and body.

It was at that moment that she realized that Kailun was not a 1st-rank waste. He was clearly a monster close to 8th-rank!

Brief fear arose in her heart, making her movements a beat slower.

“Click!”

Kailun’s left hand grabbed Chrissy’s wrist, disarming her dagger. His right hand skillfully put a magic-proof collar on Chrissy.

He silently tucked the dagger into his pocket and squeezed Chrissy’s stunned face with a smile, “Holy Maiden, you’re so proud. I love bullying people like you who are proud.”

As he spoke, he picked up the Holy Maiden and put her under his arm, taking her back to the white warhorse and placing her horizontally in front of him.

After doing all this, he didn’t forget to slap the Holy Maiden’s curvy butt hard, “The Holy Maiden has fallen. Do you still want to resist?”

Not only was the stunned Chrissy unable to face reality, but the Divine Temple’s troops were also unable to face reality.

“???”

Justin and the others looked at each other, unable to understand what had happened.

In their eyes, the Holy Maiden’s counterattack had become an embrace. She had been captured by Kailun so easily.

Was this Holy Maiden a spy?

Justin, who had gone crazy, couldn’t help but think.

Chapter 93: The Holy Maiden is a spy? p1

“It’s good that she’s okay. The physical pain will pass quickly.”

Hilna breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that Shirley hadn’t been truly harmed.

But Shirley shook her head, “No, it’s not good at all. Not only did he spank my butt, but he also made me watch a very indecent performance.
In the end, he even kicked Winnie and me to the ground, forcing us to sleep on the floor.”

Thinking of Winnie’s pitiful expression, she imagined her own future. She wondered if she and the princess would also have such a pitiful day.

“Your Highness, why don’t we try to escape again today?” Shirley looked at Hilna seriously, “Kailun is going hunting today and won’t have time to manage us. I think this is our last chance.”

Hilna had a psychological shadow about escaping. She lowered her head unnaturally, “It’s impossible. That demon will never let us go so easily.”

Not to mention, Shirley had already been caught so many times.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible. Last night, I overheard his plan to Commander Afra. He doesn’t have time to manage us at all.”

Shirley pressed her hand on Hilna’s shoulder, convinced. Only by escaping from this place would she and the princess have a future.

“Shirley, you’re right. I really don’t have time to manage you.” Kailun, who had been leaning against the doorframe, nodded in agreement.

Shirley even patted her chest excitedly, “See? The Great Demon said he doesn’t have time to manage us.”

Hilna: “…”

Although she had always known that Shirley was a bit slow, she didn’t expect her to be this slow.

Maybe the spanking last night had knocked some sense out of her.

Hilna covered her face and tried to turn her head away. When she turned, her eyes were drawn to Kailun. He was wearing different clothes today.

To be precise, he was wearing a set of light knight armor. He looked quite impressive and imposing, but he still gave off the feeling of a 1st-rank.

Because of Hilna’s gaze, Shirley slowly turned her head and found Kailun smiling and greeting her.

“Alright, Shirley, I’ll give you a fifty-meter head start. After you run fifty meters, I’ll chase you.
If I catch you, I’ll have everyone take turns spanking the older princess’s butt. What do you think of that?”

Kailun crossed his arms and looked at Shirley with a playful expression.

“No! I was wrong. Just beat me!”

Shirley knelt before Kailun and hugged his leg within a second.

She knelt down quickly, but she didn’t learn her lesson. He had caught her so many times. Why couldn’t she remember?

“What does the older princess say? Do you want to run with Shirley again? If you nod, I’ll give you a thirty-minute head start.”

Ignoring Shirley, who was hugging his leg, Kailun looked at Hilna.

“Will you really let us go?” Hilna gave a self-deprecating smile.

Kailun nodded, sincerely replying, “Yes.”

Hilna’s facial muscles twitched slightly. Not a single word from this demon could be trusted.

“Think carefully. If you don’t run this time, you really won’t be able to escape.”

Kailun pushed Shirley away from his leg, walked over, and stroked Hilna’s face.

Simple creatures like Shirley were okay to bully once or twice. If he played with her too often, he was afraid his IQ would drop to her level.

Looking at the hatred and disgust in Hilna’s eyes, he waited for the final harvest.

It was only a few days before he conquered the Malaga Kingdom. At that time, he would fulfill his promise.

Before then, he had already found a new prey.

“Go back to your room and behave yourself. If you want to try to escape, go ahead.” Leaving behind these words, Kailun, carrying a sack, opened the door of the mobile palace, jumped down, and disappeared into the forest.

Hilna was stunned, “Where did he go?”

“I heard he went to catch the Holy Maiden. I don’t know if it’s true.”

Shirley patted the nonexistent dust off her knees and stood up.

“He’s crazy! Doesn’t he know what will happen if he touches the Holy Maiden of the Divine Temple?” Hilna’s heart tightened. She shook Shirley and asked.

Shirley looked at Hilna and replied pitifully, “How would I know? I was too busy crying in pain last night to ask him.”

“I’m sorry, I lost my composure. I just can’t understand why he would do that. This is clearly pushing the Xiya Kingdom into a bigger fire pit.”

Hilna adjusted her emotions.

Originally, she thought she wouldn’t care about the life or death of the Xiya Kingdom anymore, but after learning about Kailun’s actions, she naturally became nervous.

“Good morning, sister. You two look so energetic. You must have had a good sleep last night.”

At that moment, Vivian and Isabella walked out of their rooms one after the other. Vivian, who was in the front, didn’t forget to tease Hilna.

Hilna, with dark circles under her eyes, habitually glared at her sister.

“Yo, doggy, you dare to wink at your master? Have you grown wings?”

Vivian, with her hands on her hips, walked in front of Hilna and pulled her chain, mimicking Kailun, “Sister, don’t forget that Kailun entrusted me with the task of raising the dog. If you don’t listen to me, I… I’ll go and tell Kailun.”

Vivian thought for a long time before realizing that she could only threaten her sister with Kailun.

“Release the princess. Please show some respect.” Shirley wanted to step forward to stop Vivian’s rude behavior.

Vivian turned her head to look, “Shirley, you’re so hypocritical. Am I not a princess too?
Why didn’t you stop that bad woman from bullying me before? When I’m bothering her, you come and stop me?”

Shirley’s movements froze, “I…”

She wasn’t being hypocritical. She was just loyal to one person.

“Go and play, little knight. This is a conversation between the master and the dog. Don’t make me tell Kailun to spank your butt.”

Vivian stuck out her tongue at Shirley and pulled Hilna to a corner of the living room.

Because of Kailun’s intimidation, Hilna didn’t really resist Vivian.

“By the way, I’ll give my sister some delicious food.”

As if she suddenly remembered something, Vivian quickly stuffed a candy into Hilna’s mouth.

The special candy melted in her mouth. By the time Hilna realized something was wrong, it was too late to spit it out.

She quickly covered her throat, her face pale as she asked Vivian, “What did you feed me?”

Vivian said, “It’s a special kind of candy that Kailun gave me. He said it can enhance human perception and make the body more sensitive.
He told me to use this method to make you feel hungry and then feed you, but I forgot. So, I haven’t had time to give it to you.”

Hearing Vivian’s answer, Hilna’s face turned pale. She didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but she seemed to feel something.

In her perception, the contact between her feet and the soles of her shoes became more sensitive, making her feet feel itchy. The wind blowing on her skin felt a little colder than usual.

The feeling of hunger that had been building up all night was overwhelming. She couldn’t resist it.

“Whoosh~”

As if to verify her thoughts, Vivian gently slid her fingernail across Hilna’s arm.

“Yaa!”

Hilna, as if electrocuted, slapped Vivian’s hand away. Looking at the increasingly dangerous look in her eyes, she quickly ran to her room and locked the door.

She knew clearly that she would be corrupted if she faced Vivian in her current state.

“Tsk!” Vivian looked at Shirley regretfully, “Shirley, over there, do you have a key to the room?”

The latter waved her hands repeatedly, “No, no. Only Kailun has the key to the room.”

“What a pity. It seems we’ll have to wait for Kailun to come back and bully my sister personally.” Vivian sighed regretfully.

Isabella, who was watching the drama from a distance, pondered whether she should stay away from Vivian. She felt that Vivian was very similar to Kailun in a way.

Chapter 92: The Holy Maiden’s Unease

“Please have Old Luo hold the line for a while. We’ll find a chance to retreat and abandon the second city tonight. We’ll defend the Alaye Fortress, the third city on the border.
Make sure to create the illusion of a full-scale retreat to lure the enemy deep.”

After taking a one-hour hot bath, Kailun led Hilna to the living room.

He enjoyed Hilna’s shoulder and leg massages while making the latest arrangements.

Compared to the first two cities, the third city was more important. It not only had a geographical advantage but also solid defenses. It was one of the few fortresses in the Xiya Kingdom.

Counting from the first city on the border, the Alaye Fortress was almost one hundred kilometers away. It was considered deep inside the territory.

Once they crossed the final Alaye Fortress, the Divine Temple’s troops could reach the heart of the Xiya Kingdom without obstruction and attack the royal city. Therefore, this was a city they couldn’t afford to lose.

In terms of time, the gifts Kailun had prepared would be deployed early tomorrow morning.

To this end, he had generously prepared fireworks worth one hundred thousand gold coins for the Divine Temple, hoping they would like them.

After placing the finished magic letter in a special communication device, Kailun continued to sketch on the map.

“Use more force. Didn’t you eat last night?”

While sketching the map, Kailun didn’t forget to complain that Hilna’s strength was too weak.

Hilna: “…”

Although she had dinner last night, she had exhausted her stamina running so far. She had only eaten a few bites of bread before bed to save food.

Plus, she had been wrestling with Kailun in bed and scrubbing in the bathroom, her strength had been drained.

Hilna lowered her head and glanced at her collar. It was covered in red marks, and it still felt tingly.

She had never realized that a person’s body could do so many things.

“He’s a demon…”

She muttered, biting her lip. Hilna pounded Kailun’s shoulder with her fist.

Feeling that her strength had increased a little, Kailun focused on his own business.

He enjoyed the massage, but he couldn’t forget to make the necessary preparations.

The relevant pre-preparations had been completed. The Divine Temple’s troops were even five thousand fewer than he had expected. When he received this news, Kailun almost cried with joy.

The Divine Temple was too kind. He would cry to death.

One hundred thousand versus one hundred and fifty thousand. In Kailun’s opinion, he had a huge advantage.

If only he could speed up the march, he could shorten the time it took to conquer the Malaga Kingdom.

In his opinion, with the current chaotic situation in the Xiya Kingdom, they could only sustain a war for one to two weeks. If it went beyond that, the Xiya Kingdom would definitely collapse first.

Once he conquered the Malaga Kingdom, his reputation would soar. Coupled with the war bonus he would receive from the Malaga Kingdom, subsequent changes would be much easier.

From his exchange with Roden, he had heard that the Holy Maiden of the Divine Temple had arrived on the battlefield to supervise the battle and had even threatened to capture him alive.

Kailun just wanted to laugh. In his memory, the Holy Maiden at this time was only a 7th-rank, and her strength came from her predecessor’s inheritance.

Traditionally, the previous Holy Son and Holy Maiden would pass on half of their strength to the next generation. This was a unique inheritance specific to the Temple.

Take the Holy Maiden as an example. Most Holy Maidens could reach 8th-rank within their ten-year term, relying on the Temple’s resources. Then, when their term ended, they would split their strength in half and give it to the next generation, allowing both to reach 7th-rank.

On the surface, it seemed like a loss. But the old Holy Maiden could reach 8th-rank again after a hundred years, relying on her own accumulation. The new Holy Maiden could also reach 8th-rank, relying on the Temple’s resources. So, overall, it was still a gain.

As for where those old Holy Maidens went?

That was another secret of the Divine Temple. It was just as explosive as the truth that the Pope was a woman.

If there was no blood transfusion, how could those Pope-Kings of the Divine Temple reach the peak of the world, 9th-rank, when they were young?

Because the current Pope and Emperor were both women, Kailun estimated that most of the previous Holy Maidens should have been consumed.

But there were still many previous Holy Sons left. Perhaps they could stack up another 9th-rank.

That was the Divine Temple’s foundation. Even Kailun was a little envious.

“When will your gold coins arrive? If they can’t reach the Xiya Kingdom tomorrow, I will declare a retreat.”

After a while, Kailun sent messages to the Kaz Kingdom and the Maden Kingdom, who were at war with the Rose Kingdom.

As expected, they would probably reply to him at night. He had gotten used to it over this time.

The situation in the three kingdoms was currently tense. The advantage was still in the hands of the Rose Kingdom. When the time was right, Kailun would reveal some important intelligence to the other two kingdoms, allowing them to successfully drag the Rose Kingdom into the quagmire of war.

When the time was right, it would be his turn to reap the rewards of the entire situation.

Of course, he wouldn’t use war tactics at that time.

For Kailun, conquering the Malaga Kingdom would stabilize his basic foundation.

“Can you release Shirley?”

Seeing that Kailun had almost finished his work, Hilna mentioned Shirley.

It had been a while, and Shirley was still hanging on the cross in the room.

“Those who do wrong should be punished. With a major war coming, people like Shirley, who abandon their posts during the war, should be dragged to the front line and beheaded in public. It’s already merciful of me to spare her life.”

Kailun snorted coldly, his eyes looking at Hilna with ill intent, “And when you address me, you should use titles like ‘Master.’ That’s polite.”

“Master… Shirley obeyed my persuasion. Please punish me.”

Hilna begged Kailun stammeringly. She had long forgotten that she was once a noble princess.

“Are you sure?” Kailun pulled her chain, bringing her close to him.

Meeting Kailun’s gaze, Hilna nodded, “Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it.”

“What if I asked you to stab Shirley in the heart with a sword?” Kailun asked again.

Hilna didn’t respond. She couldn’t possibly agree to such a condition.

“See? Women’s mouths are deceitful. You just said you would do anything I asked, but now you’re backtracking.”

Kailun skillfully stroked Hilna’s head. He saw many interesting emotions in her eyes.

The arrogant queen in his memory had become a pet-like figure.

“Change the punishment. You know I wouldn’t hurt Shirley.” Hilna lowered her head obediently.

For her, Shirley was the closest person to her.

She hadn’t valued Shirley that much before, but after Shirley rescued her several times, she had become more important in her heart.

Kailun slid his hand down from Hilna’s head, across her cheek, and to her lips. He used his finger to pry open her moist red lips and entered her mouth, opening her mouth.

He teased her pink tongue, observing its structure.

As if to accommodate Kailun, Hilna tilted her head slightly, allowing his gaze to enter her mouth.

As Kailun’s finger went deeper, he could clearly see the pink and rosy flesh wall inside Hilna’s mouth.

She had a cute tongue, white teeth, and a throat that trembled slightly because of the foreign object.

Besides that, he could also see some sparkling crystals, making Hilna’s mouth even more sticky, with a hint of astringency.

Below that was the abyss that connected to the esophagus, pitch black, with an unknown depth.

If not for the fear that mental pollution would increase her favorability, Kailun would have personally explored this abyss.

“You can lick my finger more intently. If you satisfy me, that will be your punishment.”

Kailun honestly proposed his idea.

Hilna glanced at Kailun, closed her mouth, and endured her disgust, using her tongue to satisfy Kailun’s wish.

To make a good impression and make him forgive Shirley, Hilna tried her best to appear more intoxicated.

With a sound of sucking, Kailun enjoyed this pleasurable sensation.

It was a pity that Hilna didn’t have the queenly temperament she had in her previous life. That was a bit of a disappointment.

“Yes, like that. Use your tongue to wrap around and touch my finger…”

While enjoying himself, Kailun didn’t forget to teach Hilna the key points. Phil had surpassed her in terms of technique.

While Kailun was teasing Hilna, the little princess, Vivian, and Isabella were quietly observing from the corner of the living room.

Isabella: “I feel like his methods are more numerous than I know. He’s really too perverted.”

Vivian: “Yes, but my sister isn’t a good person either. It’s called ‘evil people get what’s coming to them.’ At least I’m enjoying this.”

Isabella: “Don’t laugh. Maybe you’ll be next.”

“How is that possible? That guy clearly likes big ones?” Vivian said, gesturing at her chest.

After a period of familiarity, Vivian and Isabella’s relationship had improved considerably.

“But I always feel like he’s looking at you strangely. There’s a strange feeling, like he’s going to hang you up and beat you.”

Isabella honestly expressed her thoughts.

Vivian: “…I don’t know what you’re talking about. Don’t mention it to me.”

Thinking back to the things Kailun had done to her, Vivian felt that Isabella’s words might come true.

She secretly glanced at Kailun. She felt that after he finished with her sister, he might really come and bully her.

‘I hope my sister can be strong and not be broken.’ Vivian secretly prayed for her sister in her heart.

Only Carol felt a little envious when she saw this scene. She wouldn’t mind being bullied by Kailun.

Looking at the intoxicated Hilna, she also wanted to try what Kailun’s finger tasted like.

She wanted to get closer to Kailun, but he seemed to maintain a suitable distance, unwilling to bully her like he bullied the others.

She felt inexplicably lost. She wondered if she should take the initiative to do something.

“Pop~”

Perhaps he had enjoyed it enough. Kailun pulled his finger out of Hilna’s mouth.

He dried his mouth on Hilna’s newly changed clothes, “Come with me. Now, come back to my room. You should wash the dirty sheets.
Oh, right, no magic allowed.”

Kailun led Hilna back to her room with the chain.

“You bad guy, what did you do to the princess?”

Seeing Kailun and Hilna, who had changed clothes, walk in, Shirley asked worriedly.

“What did I do? Of course, I was playing games. What else could I do?”

Kailun released Hilna’s chain, allowing her to go and clean the sheets. There was still straw on them.

“Shirley, I’m sorry…” As she passed Shirley, Hilna apologized.

In her eyes, if not for her, Shirley wouldn’t have been targeted by Kailun.

But it was this apology that made Shirley even more uneasy. She glared at Kailun, “Whatever you have to do, do it to me. Don’t bully the princess.
The princess can do anything I can do, and I can do it better.”

Faced with such a statement, Kailun became interested. He leaned close to Shirley’s ear and whispered, “Even… can you do that?”

“…I can!”

Hearing Kailun’s request, Shirley nodded, blushing.

“A respectable attitude. Come to my room tonight.” Kailun deliberately raised his voice, making the older princess, who was tidying the sheets, tremble.

She wanted to say something, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak.

She was so helpless in the face of Kailun, the Great Demon King. She could only hope that the Divine Temple’s troops would eliminate this Great Demon King and do a good deed for the world.

Just as she was about to leave with the bed sheets and pillows, Kailun suddenly stopped her.

“Don’t rush. Shirley’s clothes need washing too. Help her.”

“Whoosh!”

As he spoke, Kailun directly lifted the robe off Shirley, revealing her rabbit-blood-soaked clothes.

“Can I wash it myself? Just release me.”

Shirley, having sorted out her thoughts, chose to give in immediately.

She really wanted to rescue the princess, but she couldn’t do anything in this situation.

“Until tonight, you can only be tied to the cross and reflect on your mistakes.” Kailun shook his head.

“I’m sorry, Shirley.”

Hilna knew that Kailun was serious. To protect Shirley from being bullied, she took the initiative to walk over and help Shirley undress.

Seeing Shirley’s clothes gradually decrease, Kailun left the room ahead of time.

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would do something outrageous to Shirley, who was tied to the cross. Then, he guessed that the older princess would be corrupted along with Shirley. That wasn’t the outcome he wanted.

At least he couldn’t do that yet. He could try it later.

After leaving the room, Kailun continued to teach Carol. He left Shirley and Hilna in the room, not knowing what they were talking about.

…

As dusk approached, the Divine Temple’s offensive weakened slightly.

After a whole day of consumption, both sides had invested a huge amount of resources. Just the magic barrier alone was a significant expense for the Xiya Kingdom.

When night fell completely, the Divine Temple’s full-scale offensive weakened by more than half.

Although there were many illumination spells providing light, night wasn’t a good time for them to attack. Their offensive position was vulnerable to ambushes.

After discussion, Justin decided to stop the warriors’ attacks at night and have the magicians take turns bombarding the magic barrier in three shifts.

Judging from the state of the barrier, it would probably be completely broken by tomorrow morning.

Roden stood on the city wall and looked down, “Keep enough magic crystals to sustain the barrier until tomorrow morning. The rest of the troops will secretly transfer under the cover of night.
Leave five hundred men and five hundred war horses with me to continue guarding the city wall and pretend. We’ll retreat in front of them at dawn tomorrow morning.”

He arranged all the orders according to Kailun’s requirements. They would launch the final battle tomorrow.

In the blink of an eye, the young man who had been a useless boy had become a scheming genius in the eyes of countless people. This change was a bit sudden for him.

But he was still relieved. He hadn’t been on the battlefield for many years. He could actually return to the battlefield in this way. The blood in his heart seemed to heat up.

Speaking of which, it was the Grand Duke who had taken the fatal blow for him, allowing him to live to this day. Roden could only repay this life-saving grace with everything he had.

If not for his old age and slow reaction, he would have even wanted to ride onto the battlefield and fight. After all, his strength was considered quite strong in the Xiya Kingdom.

“Maybe the only one who can face the Divine Temple’s wrath is the young master.”

Looking at the magic exploding on the magic barrier above his head, he couldn’t help but sigh.

What first empire, what first temple. Crush anyone who stands in your way. That’s the kind of spirit a monarch should have.

Even he was eagerly anticipating tomorrow’s arrival. He wanted to see how long those scum below could continue to be arrogant.

Everyone had heard about the Divine Temple’s misdeeds, but no one dared to stand up and resist.

Perhaps this war would change more than just the outcome of the battle. It would change the world. The young master had provided the world with a new possibility.

The Divine Temple, the Abyss, and Kailun. If he could keep winning, maybe he really could become a third force.

…

“You ask why I left? Do I need to report to you?”

In the Divine Temple’s main camp, Holy Maiden Chrissy was using a magic letter to communicate with the Holy Son.

Faced with the Holy Son’s questioning, she immediately retorted.

“No, no. I was just worried about your safety. You’re the Holy Maiden. What if something happens to you on the road? What if some thieves target you?”

The Holy Son quickly replied to Chrissy using a magic letter.

“Tsk!” Chrissy clicked her tongue impatiently and wrote a new magic letter in a perfunctory manner, “I’m the Holy Maiden of the Divine Temple. Who would dare to target me?
Just focus on getting Kailson out of retirement. I’m here at the front line. We won’t lose.”

The Divine Temple had an absolute advantage on the battlefield. Even if she commanded with her feet, they wouldn’t lose.

She had carefully studied the Xiya Kingdom and hadn’t found any chance for them to turn the tide.

After taking this city, they would immediately take the Alaye Fortress and then march directly into the royal city.

Not only that, the rest of the troops had accelerated their assembly because they had heard of her arrival. By the day after tomorrow, the entire Divine Temple would have two hundred thousand troops.

“Alright… Rest early. Don’t stay up late. Don’t tire yourself out. If anything happens, just tell the others to do it.” The Holy Son replied with a new message in a short time.

“Alright, I’m going to take a bath.”

After finishing the last magic letter, Chrissy picked up a biography novel and started reading.

She was so annoyed that she couldn’t even focus on the book, so she walked out of the main camp, her mood agitated.

Looking at the brightly lit city one kilometer away, she extended her hand and made a crushing gesture.

She had thought she would see some fun when she arrived in Malaga, but it turned out to be such a boring war.

“I have to urge them to speed up tomorrow. I was hoping to enter the royal city and mock that Pure Desire Maiden.” Chrissy muttered to herself, bored.

The next day, as dawn broke, Chrissy heard a commotion outside.

“No good! The Xiya Kingdom’s troops have run away again!”

“What? Run away again? How many?”

“Only a few hundred are left. The entire city is empty.”

“What are you all standing around for? Send the cavalry to chase them. Don’t let them run away so easily!”

“…”

Walking out of her tent, Chrissy saw Justin, who was furious.

She looked at the city in the distance. There was no one on the city wall.

In front of the city wall were several thousand Divine Temple cavalry, chasing after the last of the fleeing troops.

For some reason, she felt a sense of unease, as if something beyond her expectations had happened.

She looked at Harry and Paul, who were standing beside her, and found that their faces were pale, as if they were recalling some bad memories.

“What went wrong?” Chrissy lowered her head and pondered. She was wondering if she had missed something important.

According to the intelligence that came from the Divine Temple, Kailun had no chance of turning the tide.

He not only hadn’t received the scattered troops of the nobles, but he was also at war with the Rose Kingdom in the east. The powerful Grand Duke had to use a heavy force to fight him and couldn’t help him.

Holding her chest, she felt a voice in the back of her mind telling her to run.

…

At the same time, Kailun opened the door and saw Hilna sitting in the living room.

She seemed to have not slept all night. Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were dark circles.

“Yo, good morning, Your Highness.”

After greeting Hilna, Kailun pushed Shirley, who was in his arms, outside, and didn’t forget to say, “Oh, right, Shirley’s touch was very good. I’m very satisfied. I hope you can satisfy me like this next time.”

After saying something that made Hilna’s imagination run wild, Kailun returned to his room and closed the door.

“Hiss…” Shirley, standing outside the door, covered her sore butt with a pitiful expression and gasped.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”

Seeing this, Hilna immediately imagined what kind of tragic fate Shirley had suffered, and her heart ached.

Since Shirley had entered Kailun’s room last night, she had been listening outside the door. She had heard Shirley’s screams and strange sounds.

In her opinion, something important had clearly been taken away from Shirley .

Shirley tried to explain, “No, Your Highness, you misunderstood. Kailun just spanked my butt all night.”

“Don’t explain. I understand. It’s okay. It’ll all pass. I won’t blame you.”

Hilna hugged Shirley and patted her back, trying to comfort her.

“No, Kailun said he wouldn’t take it from me this time because he wants to stack you and me together next time.” Shirley explained anxiously.

Hilna: “???”

She touched the collar around her neck and fell into thought. Did she just hear something terrible?

Chapter 91: Trapped

At one o’clock in the morning, moonlight shone through the window, casting a silver glow on the floor.

Hilna, wrapped in a blanket in the cage, slowly opened her eyes. After confirming that the strange sounds from next door had stopped for a while, she lifted the blanket and carefully climbed out of the cage.

Taking the key from the depths of her chest, Hilna unlocked the collar around her neck.

Only after doing all this did she look at the large bed. She found Shirley staring at her blankly.

“I understand. Your Highness was pretending to obey to lull Kailun. I knew Your Highness wouldn’t give up hope.” Shirley said this.

Hilna remained silent for a moment before nodding, “You’re right. Kailun can’t hold us captive. Now, we have to leave this den of demons.”

Putting the collar she had removed on the table, Hilna tidied her slightly messy hair.

“Your Highness, don’t worry. I’ve already scouted the area and found a safe path to the outside.
As long as we get far enough away from here, Kailun and the others won’t be able to catch us.” Shirley jumped off the bed. She had even prepared her travel luggage.

“I specially prepared some extra food for the journey tonight. It should be enough for us to last two or three days.”

Shirley showed Hilna the prepared package, which contained some food and gold coins.

“But what about your employment contract?” Looking into Shirley’s eyes, Hilna suddenly thought of this important matter.

Shirley shrugged, “Your Highness, don’t worry. Breaking this kind of contract will only reduce my strength a little. It’s not life-threatening.
As long as I can get far away from that guy, he won’t be able to give me orders.”

She had thought about it at night. As long as she could escape with the princess, it didn’t matter if she became a cripple.

“Oh, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t angered that demon, you wouldn’t have to face this choice.”

Hilna sighed, then regained her composure. She tiptoed to the door and listened. She confirmed that the entire mobile palace was quiet.

Giving Shirley a reassuring glance, Hilna opened the door.

Outside her room was the only living room in the mobile palace. It was pitch black in the middle of the night. They could only see the path by the faint moonlight.

They tiptoed forward, one after the other, afraid of waking up the Great Demon King in the room.

“Whoosh~”

Opening the door to the outside, Hilna’s heart felt less sad as she felt the cool night breeze.

Looking at the solid ground in front of her, she suddenly felt like she was in a dream.

As long as she jumped down, she would have a chance to be human again and start a new life.

But would it be that simple?

She turned her head and looked back at the closed door of Kailun’s room. Finally, she threw her worries aside.

She had no choice, for Shirley’s sake or her own.

“Click!”

She gently jumped to the ground. Hilna’s heart tightened again. The dangerous escape had only just begun.

Following the route Shirley had planned, they avoided the patrolling Knights and ran through the night.

To minimize the risk of exposure, they kept their bodies hunched over, hiding their figures in the waist-high bushes as much as possible.

They ran for half an hour, covering almost five kilometers. This distance was already beyond Kailun’s control.

“Did we really escape?”

Hilna, drenched in sweat, looked at Shirley in disbelief. Had they really escaped so easily?

Shirley nodded happily, “Of course. That arrogant Kailun wouldn’t have expected us to sneak away.
He’ll probably be furious when he wakes up tomorrow.”

“I still feel unsafe. Why don’t we run a little longer? This time, let’s run south.” Hilna thought for a moment and felt it wasn’t safe enough.

Shirley naturally wouldn’t disobey Hilna’s suggestion. After a brief rest, they set off again. This time, they even paid attention to details like footprints.

They ran for another thirty kilometers, and they were far away from Kailun’s main force.

Passing a dilapidated thatched hut, they decided to make it their resting place for the night.

As a magician, Hilna’s stamina was limited. Running for over thirty kilometers was her limit.

Hilna, who knew Kailun’s future plans, thought that he wouldn’t have time to care about them because he needed to go to the battlefield. So, she and Shirley were safe.

Shirley simply used some dry straw to make a bed big enough for them to sleep on. Hilna set up a defensive magic formation.

They ate some dry bread to replenish their energy and then lay down on the straw to rest.

Lying on the somewhat prickly straw pile, Hilna looked up at the twinkling stars through the dilapidated roof, feeling a sincere sense of gratitude.

She was alive.

For the first time, she felt that being alive was so fulfilling.

In the future, she might not be able to eat delicacies or enjoy luxury and wealth, but she would be content just living freely.

With dreams of a bright future, Hilna closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. A relaxed smile appeared on her lips.

But what she didn’t know was that after they fell asleep, a strange white smoke drifted into the thatched hut where they were sleeping.

【Hilna is grateful for your carelessness. Favorability +6, Total Favorability -90】

Kailun, outside the thatched hut, extinguished the almost burnt-out Lost Scent incense. He accepted Hilna’s gratitude.

With his current strength, it was easy for him to approach them unnoticed.

…

“Hmm~”

The next morning, Hilna, who had slept soundly, woke up from her dream.

She dreamed that she was back in the palace, sleeping in her soft and comfortable bed. The room was also filled with calming soul-soothing incense, allowing her to sleep even more soundly.

The morning sun shone on her face through the small window, casting a golden glow that made her unable to open her eyes.

“Shirley~ Shirley, let’s get up and leave~”

Hilna called out to Shirley in a gentle voice. Her good mood made her stretch involuntarily, and her graceful body curves were on full display on the bed.

“Shirley is dead.”

A sudden voice startled Hilna. Her body froze in place, “How can I hear that demon’s voice? It must be a hallucination. Yes, it must be a hallucination.”

Even at this moment, Hilna was unwilling to accept reality. The difference between heaven and hell was often just a matter of opening your eyes.

Seeing that Hilna had chosen to escape, Kailun reached out and stroked her delicate cheek, “Your Highness, don’t deceive yourself anymore. To pay the price for letting you live, Shirley is dead.”

“?!”

Hilna finally opened her eyes. She found that Kailun was sleeping beside her, she didn’t know when.

No!

To be precise, she was sleeping on the bed in the mobile palace. She could feel a slight swaying motion.

And Kailun was sleeping beside her, looking at her with a gentle smile.

An indescribable fear filled Hilna’s mind, finally making her face reality.

“Shirley… dead?”

She repeated Kailun’s words. The string of reason in her mind was about to snap.

Kailun kindly answered Hilna’s question, “Yes, dead. One slice, and she was gone.”

Hilna: “…”

Too many complex emotions were bombarding her brain at the same time, making it difficult for her to tell whether she should be sad or angry.

“Can I see Shirley?”

On the surface, Hilna seemed incredibly calm.

“Of course. You can see Shirley as soon as you get out of bed.” Kailun pinched her face.

“Slap!”

Hilna coldly slapped Kailun’s hand away.

She sat up from the bed and looked around. When her eyes fell on the center of the room, her pupils constricted.

A cross had appeared on the floor, she didn’t know when. Shirley was tied to the cross.

In Hilna’s eyes, Shirley, who was wearing a large, loose robe, had a clear wound on her neck, surrounded by bloodstains.

A thick smell of blood filled her nostrils. The bloody reality made her heart almost stop.

【Hilna has become more hostile towards you. Favorability -8. Total Favorability -98】

Kailun didn’t let Hilna look for long. He sat up from the bed and blocked her view.

“I’m going to kill you!”

Looking at Kailun’s handsome face, Hilna couldn’t help but lunge at him.

She wanted to scratch Kailun’s face with her nails, bite his throat with her teeth. Only by completely tearing Kailun apart could she quell her anger.

But Hilna’s strength was no match for Kailun’s. In just one round, she was tightly controlled by him.

Despite this, Hilna refused to give up. She roared and struggled to break free from Kailun’s control. To outsiders, it looked like Hilna was rubbing against Kailun, acting affectionately.

Perhaps because Hilna’s body was rubbing against him comfortably, Kailun didn’t stop her movements.

Ten minutes later, Hilna’s movements gradually softened due to exhaustion. At the same time, Shirley, whose drug effects had worn off, slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at Hilna “playing” with Kailun and widened her eyes, “Your Highness, what are you doing?”

Hilna was startled and stopped her movements when she heard Shirley’s voice. Kailun seized the opportunity, turned over, pressed Hilna down, and used his mouth to block Hilna’s moist red lips.

“Mmm, mmm, mmm~”

Hilna kept hitting Kailun’s back, trying to get him to release her.

She now fully understood that Kailun had pretended that Shirley was dead to deceive her. This demon wanted to give her hope and then ruthlessly tear it apart.

He wanted her to experience the feeling of loss again and again, to experience the heart-wrenching anger and despair.

“You bastard, demon! Separate from the princess!”

Shirley’s roar echoed through the room. Along with anger, Hilna also felt a sense of shame.

Being bullied by Kailun in front of her subordinates, it was just too bad.

But the good news was that Shirley was alive. That was the best outcome.

Hilna, her body feeling weak, let her hands hang limply, allowing Kailun to take from her.

But just as he was about to kiss her neck and then her breasts, Kailun suddenly stopped.

“I suddenly remembered that you were sleeping on the straw last night. You’re so dirty. I wouldn’t dare to go near you without washing.”

Kailun looked at Hilna with a look of disgust.

Hilna: “…”

She had even prepared herself to be violated by Kailun, to be ready to be a corpse. But Kailun was disgusted by her.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m quite picky about my prey. I told you to wash yourself properly last night, but you’re still so dirty.
Besides, you got my clothes dirty too.”

Kailun pointed to the bed helplessly, “Look at the bed. There’s still straw dust on the sheets. As a princess, you’re so unhygienic. I’m ashamed of you.”

It wasn’t until Hilna turned her head away with a resigned expression that Kailun let her go.

It was convenient having Shirley. As long as he still held Shirley’s life in his hands, Hilna would have to be obedient, no matter how much she hated him.

“I’ll come back later to teach you, you treacherous, evil knight. Now, I have to wash the older princess clean.”

He glared at Shirley, who had just cursed him, and put his arm around Hilna’s waist, carrying her over his shoulder. As he passed the table, he casually picked up the magic-proof collar.

Facing the powerful Kailun, Shirley, who was bound, could only watch helplessly as Hilna was taken away.

Thinking back, she realized that this was clearly an opportunity that Kailun had deliberately given her. Maybe even her initial escape route was planned by Kailun. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to escape the Knights’ tight surveillance so easily.

If she could, she would have taken the princess’s place and endured the torment. But Kailun had a different attitude towards her.

This failed escape left a huge psychological shadow on Shirley. She didn’t know if she would be caught by Kailun the next time she tried to escape.

It was as if they were enveloped by a huge mountain. They couldn’t escape Kailun’s shadow.

Shirley lowered her head and looked at the bloodstain on her neck. It was completely dry and even had a bit of rabbit fur on it. Would the princess be so easily fooled?

As for the robe she was wearing, it was probably to cover the rise and fall of her chest.

…

“Thump!”

Kailun arrived at the bathroom in his room and directly threw the older princess into the bathtub filled with hot water.

The overflowing hot water flowed down the edge of the bathtub and eventually flowed to the ground, draining away.

“I think you should give me an explanation for the older princess’s escape.”

Kailun took off his clothes, which had been dirtied by the older princess, and stepped into the bathtub. Soon, he was sitting in the bathtub in a complete state.

It wasn’t easy to max out Hilna’s favorability at this point. She had already broken down once. It would take some time for her to recover before she could break down again.

Shirley was the key to restricting Hilna. As long as Shirley was there, Hilna would only be a docile pet in front of him. Unless she was willing to see Shirley sacrifice herself for her again.

Although Kailun wouldn’t really hurt Shirley, Hilna didn’t dare to gamble.

“Click!”

After putting the magic-proof collar back on Hilna, Kailun relaxed and lay down on the other side of the bathtub.

Facing Kailun’s actions, Hilna curled up and sat opposite him.

“To punish you for making the wrong choice, you have to take on the role of a part-time bath attendant for a while. Of course, you can only use this.”

Kailun said seriously, pointing at Hilna’s wet chest. To seal her escape route, he added, “If you don’t want to, I’ll give this job to Shirley.
After all, you’re accomplices. It’s only natural for her to share the burden.”

After running around for a whole night, it was time for him to relax and rest. If not for the fear of increasing her favorability, Kailun would have enjoyed Hilna in front of Shirley.

But he wasn’t in a hurry. He had plenty of opportunities once he maxed out Hilna’s favorability.

Kailun closed his eyes, tapping the bathtub with his fingers, urging Hilna, while humming a beautiful tune.

“Glug, glug, glug!”

After about half a minute, Kailun heard the sound of water splashing continuously. A moment later, he felt a soft body pressing against his.

Hilna seemed to understand what he was thinking. As she leaned towards him, she had already removed her clothes.

“If I get the chance, I’ll kill you.” Hilna hugged Kailun’s waist and leaned her mouth close to his ear.

“I’d be delighted. I just hope your heart can be more resilient, so that I won’t accidentally break you.
But as a pet, you should be punished for saying such rebellious words.
But I’m kind, so I don’t want to punish you any further. I’ll just put the rest of the punishment on Shirley’s head. Thank me.”

Kailun hugged Hilna’s slender waist tighter, making her press closer to him.

Anyone with a little common sense would know that increasing friction would increase the efficiency of cleaning. He was helping Hilna finish her work faster.

After careful investigation, Kailun came to a simple conclusion. As long as he didn’t let his target’s body receive his evil, it wouldn’t have much of an impact.

At least using these parts, the chest, hands, and legs, wouldn’t increase favorability.

…

While Hilna was being bombarded with cannon fire, the second city on the border was also being bombarded relentlessly.

Compared to the first city, which Kailun had abandoned, the Divine Temple’s troops faced much greater resistance here.

The magic barrier above the city shimmered with a brilliant glow, and countless energy sources were supplying the barrier’s consumption.

The Divine Temple’s bombardment had not stopped since morning. Their cavalry and warriors had clashed several times, with casualties on both sides.

Compared to their caution last night, the Divine Temple was a little bolder today, with a hint of letting loose.

Countless people wanted to prove themselves in this war, because early this morning, their Holy Maiden had arrived on the battlefield and was personally supervising the battle.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that everyone present was captivated by Holy Maiden Chrissy’s charm. Even though she was simply wearing a plain white dress, they felt an infinite amount of charm emanating from her.

Even Paul, who was about to change his sexual orientation, felt a spark of something called “attraction” again.

“Justin, is this the victory you promised me?”

In the temporary command tent, Holy Maiden Chrissy sat in the main seat, crossing her leg, which was clad in black stockings, over her other smooth, bare leg.

Justin, who was sitting on the side, quickly stood up and explained, “Holy Maiden, you don’t know. That Kailun is incredibly cunning and insidious. If we’re not careful, we might lose.
If you don’t believe me, you can ask Harry. He’s one of Kailun’s defeated subordinates.”

Justin shifted the blame to Harry.

Chrissy crossed her arms and looked at Harry.

The latter, after exchanging glances with Chrissy, hurriedly stood up and said, “Holy Maiden, you don’t know. It’s not that I’m incompetent, but that Kailun is truly not an ordinary person.
He’s skilled at manipulating people’s hearts and plotting schemes. We were too careless back then and suffered a loss.
The Second Prince and Paul can testify to this.”

Harry gave Lodis and Paul a look.

Lodis: “Yes, yes. Harry is right.”

Paul: “Kailun is a disgusting villain!”

Chrissy ignored the Second Prince and looked at Paul, “You’re Harry’s new male concubine? You look pretty good. You have a special kind of talent.
No wonder Harry is willing to recommend you to me and the Holy Son. You really have the potential to become the next Holy Son.”

The selection of the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden was held every ten years. The selection time was not uniform, and the results were decided by the previous Holy Maiden and the Pope together.

Generally, the previous Holy Son and Holy Maiden would strongly recommend those they had trained for the next generation. After all, this was also a kind of inheritance of power.

The current Holy Maiden was just over eighteen years old. She was in the prime of her youth and had almost eight years left in her term. As for the Holy Son, he only had three years left. He was in a hurry to find a suitable candidate.

Paul’s appearance gave the Holy Son another option.

However, she didn’t like Paul personally. He was weak and cowardly and wouldn’t amount to much.

Paul: “I…”

He didn’t want to admit that he was Harry’s male concubine.

He had finally fallen for someone again, but he had to admit that he was someone else’s male concubine. This feeling made Paul want to vomit.

If he compared Winnie to Chrissy in front of him, he felt that Chrissy, who was arrogant, noble, and alluring, was easier to fall for.

As if sensing Paul’s hesitation, Harry directly hugged Paul, “Holy Maiden, Paul is my true love.”

Paul: “Ah… hmm…”

Paul could only helplessly accept this result. In his eyes, the Holy Maiden was already looking at him with a hint of disgust.

“There’s no need to be embarrassed to admit it. Our Divine Temple has always been committed to freedom, openness, balance, and harmony. Although your status is a bit… not presentable, no one will say anything about you.”

Chrissy waved her hand, “As long as you can convince the Holy Son, you still have a chance to become a candidate for the Holy Son.”

After dealing with Paul, who had potential, she continued, “I didn’t come here to fight over command. I just want to see victory.
Of course, I’m naturally curious about this Kailun you’re talking about. So, I hope you don’t waste my curiosity.
Bind Kailun and bring him to me in three days. I want to see what’s so special about him, the one the Pure Desire Maiden has placed a bet on.”

Chrissy used her white fingers to make a three gesture.

Hearing the Holy Maiden mention Kailun, Paul clenched his teeth in hatred.

Why? Why could Kailun get the Holy Maiden’s attention, while he could only get her disgust?

He wasn’t weak either. In just a few days, he had progressed a long way on the path to 3rd-rank. Could Kailun do that?

Chapter 90: The Princess Doesn’t Want to Lose Again p2

The main camp on the border of the Malaga Kingdom.

“Latest intel. Kailun has already started fighting with the nobles in his country!”

The envoy, Justin, came to Harry and the others with important intelligence.

Harry quickly stood up from his chair and asked, “Is the news accurate?”

The Second Prince, Lodis, and Paul also quickly stood up. Judging from their clenched fists, they were all very excited.

Just yesterday, the Second Prince and Harry were suddenly poisoned and almost died. Fortunately, Justin had two bottles of holy water left and quickly gave them to them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have seen the sun today.

Because they had drunk Justin’s holy water, they were not only impoverished, but they also owed a lot of gold coins.

As for who poisoned them, they could guess who it was without thinking.

Justin: “The news is accurate. Kailun, with the Silver Moon Knights, suddenly attacked Duke Colette’s territory and took complete possession of it with lightning speed. It was a complete victory.”

Harry nodded, “That’s typical of Kailun. He always wins so decisively. I think he’s trying to purge the nobles in his country and consolidate his rule.
I wonder if he’s noticed our movements here.”

Paul, who had calmed down, added, “I think he’s probably noticed. After all, those nobles aren’t very tough. Maybe he’s mobilizing troops to the border right now.
Don’t forget that Duke Colette’s territory isn’t far from the border. My suggestion is to attack today.”

Hearing Paul’s analysis, Justin became even more satisfied, “That’s exactly what I was thinking. Although the followers are still a few thousand short of being fully assembled.
But time is of the essence. We can’t give him time to react. In my opinion, we should strike him with an overwhelming force.”

Justin’s followers were used to being lazy. Even after receiving the order to assemble, they were still sluggish, delaying Justin’s attack plan.

A management model that allowed for a lot of freedom and loose restrictions had always been his motto for recruiting people. Like many archbishops, he focused on two words: freedom.

In the eyes of many people, as long as they became part of the Divine Temple, they could eat and drink for free, visit brothels for free, and even the laws of some kingdoms couldn’t restrict them.

As Kailun said, they were just a bunch of scattered sand with strength, making them the perfect choice for mining.

“Should we attack according to the original plan?” Harry asked again.

Justin, the person in charge, took out a map and spread it out. He pointed at the city on the border of the Xiya Kingdom, “According to the original plan, we’ll directly advance with one hundred thousand soldiers. They are all seasoned warriors.
Behind the warrior legion are two thousand magic legions. They are responsible for main long-range support, and breaking the city’s protective barrier is their job.
The remaining forty thousand cavalry will be responsible for flanking maneuvers, cutting off their retreat. In this battle, we must completely wipe out their border defenses.”

This was the attack plan he had devised with his subordinates. Although it was simple, it was practical. After all, they had a huge numerical advantage. All they needed to do was push forward.

It was a pity that they lacked large-scale siege weapons. Otherwise, their advance would be much faster.

The Second Prince, Lodis, said, “I don’t understand, but I think it’s feasible.”

Paul lowered his head, looking at his lower body, and said coldly, “I hope we can crush them all the way. I want to step on Kailun’s neck and cut off his head.”

Harry hugged Paul, “That day will come. He stole all your people and sent you and your father to a brothel. When we return to the royal city, I’ll have someone redeem your father.”

Paul: “…”

He actually wanted to say that he didn’t need to redeem his father, but he thought better of it and didn’t say anything.

Justin glanced at Paul and said, “The Holy Maiden will arrive in the Malaga Kingdom tomorrow. To celebrate her arrival, we should offer her the most perfect victory.
All for the glory of the Divine Temple!”

After shouting the slogan, Justin led everyone to assemble. Two hours later, they arrived at the border with their army.

Looking at the city opposite them, Justin, who was in charge of commanding, was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes several times in disbelief and asked, “Look at the city gate opposite. Is it open?”

More than one hundred thousand troops were arrayed on the border, but Justin hesitated to attack.

Lodis scratched his head, “Not only is the city gate open, but the magic barrier isn’t activated either. I think there’s a trap.”

Harry said, “Not only is the magic barrier not activated, but there’s not a single person on the city wall. I don’t believe there’s no trap.”

Paul stared at the city opposite, “This morning, there were still many soldiers patrolling the city wall, adding defensive fortifications. But now, there’s not a single person to be seen. It’s impossible that they have no defenses at all.
I don’t believe Kailun would easily withdraw his troops. He must be up to something.”

Paul had been played by Kailun, so every time he thought of Kailun, he would imagine all the disgusting tricks the other man had waiting for him.

He hadn’t had a single good day since he got the forbidden scroll.

He had lost his sister, his aunt, his father, and even his beloved childhood sweetheart.

Just thinking about the person he loved being forced to submit under Kailun’s crotch made him clench his fists.

If he couldn’t kill Kailun with his own hands, he would never be a man again.

“I’ll send people to scout the surrounding area. I heard that Kailun loves to play tricks. We have to be cautious.”

Although Justin had never met Kailun, he had heard about the other man’s cunning from Harry and the others.

To be safe, Justin sent several scouting teams to investigate the surrounding area. He was worried that a large force of ambushes might be hidden in a concealed forest.

Half an hour later, the scouting teams who had gone to investigate returned, but they hadn’t found anything. No ambushes, no traps, nothing.

Looking again at the city opposite, which was undefended, Justin felt an eerie sense of strangeness.

Another half hour passed, and Justin finally couldn’t help but order the magicians to bombard the city with long-range magic.

Since there was no protection, he would just bombard it first. Even if there were any traps, they would be destroyed in the saturated magical bombardment.

Following Paul and the others’ enthusiastic suggestions, Justin chose the most cautious and reliable tactic.

Countless magic formations lit up on the border. The terrifying magical fluctuations made the atmosphere oppressive.

With Justin’s order, a continuous stream of giant fireballs fell towards the city.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The booming sounds continued, like a magnificent fireworks display.

The magicians’ attacks continued until the sun was about to set. When they had finished their second bottle of supplies, Justin ordered the saturated attacks to stop.

Looking at the ruined city in front of him, he sent five thousand men to cross the collapsed city wall and conduct a thorough search. However, the result was that there was no one there.

Learning the truth, Justin’s face turned green as he cursed, “That’s just too infuriating. Does he think war is a game? He just gave up a city without even fighting.
If he wanted to give it up, then fine. But this morning, there were still so many people adding defensive fortifications. Isn’t this pure fraud?”

Paul lowered his head and said nothing. After all, he had also been in favor of an ambush.

Harry, on the other hand, was very calm. He glanced at the map, then at the sky, which was about to turn dark, and said, “We can only attack the next city tomorrow. The terrain is not suitable for night battles.
Taking a key city without casualties is also a way to explain ourselves to the Holy Maiden. Today is our great victory.
It’s always right to be cautious. Don’t lose the big picture for the sake of a small gain.”

“That’s right, it’s a great victory.” Justin gritted his teeth, “Seven days! Within seven days, I will conquer the Xiya Kingdom. If I can’t, I’ll commit suicide in front of the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden.”

In his eyes, his caution had become a joke. Maybe the Holy Maiden would find out tomorrow and blame him for not being brave enough.

For the first time, Justin experienced the kind of pain that Paul felt. This feeling of being manipulated was just too awful.

He desperately needed a victory to prove himself. To this end, he even sent out a dozen scouting teams to investigate the next city.

…

That night, Kailun sat opposite the older princess.

The only difference was that Kailun was sitting on the carpet, and Hilna was kneeling on the carpet.

They had just finished dinner, and it was still rest time. They were sitting by a large tree, and a magic lamp hanging from a branch provided enough white light to see the map clearly.

“Did you just abandon the outermost city?”

Hilna looked at the content that Kailun was sketching on the map and asked curiously.

After spending these few days together, Hilna had been trained and was increasingly fitting into the role of a pet. Kailun had even let her out of the cage.

She hated Kailun, but she couldn’t help but listen to him. Gradually, Hilna was starting to lose track of her own true thoughts.

Under Kailun’s constant guidance, she had developed the habit of listening to him.

Compared to the once arrogant and unyielding princess, she now resembled a docile pet.

“The geographical location is not good. It can’t hold out until our reinforcements arrive. It’s better to withdraw everyone and prepare for the next defense.”

Kailun put a cross on the map, indicating that it had been conquered.

According to their current marching speed, they would reach the border by tomorrow morning.

The three thousand troops led by the steward and the Grand Duke’s First Knights had already arrived at their destination and were preparing gifts for Paul and the others.

Mentioning today’s battle, Kailun couldn’t help but laugh, “I didn’t expect the Divine Temple to be so cautious. That’s not their style. Wasting so much time on an empty city. I think they’ll be very happy.”

Kailun circled the next two cities on the map. These were the key points for defense. He marked the third city with a special mark.

Putting down his pen, Kailun reached out and stroked Hilna’s chin as if he were petting a cat. She glanced at him and obediently closed her eyes.

Shirley, who was behind the tree, watched this scene with a heartbroken expression. The princess in her heart was no longer the princess. As an observer, she clearly saw the princess constantly losing important things.

Through these few days of feeding and conversation, the princess had been turned into a pet by the vile Kailun.

This couldn’t continue. She had to escape with the princess!

Shirley planned to escape with the princess when everyone was asleep at night. Over the past three days, Kailun had become less and less vigilant towards them. Their doors weren’t even locked anymore.

Besides the fact that the princess was ordered to sleep in the cage at night, Kailun hadn’t bothered them at all.

Shirley looked around, disappearing into the darkness. She planned to scout the area first and then act directly at midnight.

Noticing Shirley’s gaze drifting away, Kailun nodded in satisfaction. That’s right. He had given her so many chances. If Shirley didn’t act, it would be a disservice to his kindness.

Shirley was the only one who could still move Hilna. So, Kailun would use Shirley as a breakthrough.

Favorability was something that was increasingly difficult to increase as it approached the limit. Didn’t you see that Paul was still at -99 favorability even though he was a eunuch?

Ella was mentally fragile. Winnie thought her father was dead. Afra was like a real sister who loved him. She was an anomaly.

It was precisely because it was difficult to reach the limit that Kailun didn’t deliberately try to increase Carol’s favorability.

For Kailun, making someone hate him was easy. But if he wanted to make someone love him so deeply that they couldn’t live without him… he would rather brush the older princess’s fur a few more times.

“It’s getting late. Go back and rest. My bathroom is free now. You and Shirley can borrow it. Remember to wash yourselves properly.”

Kailun pinched Hilna’s face and returned the chain to her wrist.

For safety, Hilna had been wearing a magic-proof collar around her neck. No one except Kailun could open it.

Hilna took her chain and ran back to the mobile palace without looking back.

Coincidentally, Hilna, who had entered Kailun’s room to take a bath and relax, saw a bunch of keys on his desk.

These keys corresponded to different magic-proof collars, including hers.

“Could it be a trap?”

Hilna cautiously walked to the desk, unable to tear her gaze away from the keys.

She muttered to herself, “It should be fine if I take one. He won’t notice.”

Even though she knew it was probably a trap, Hilna’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

She wanted to be a human being. She didn’t want to be Kailun’s pet.

She wanted to leave this demon and find a small mountain valley to live in until she died.

Even if it was a trap, she would accept it. In Hilna’s eyes, things couldn’t get any worse than they were now.

“Click!”

Hilna steeled her resolve and took her key from the keychain, holding it in her palm.

As if worried that she would be discovered, she stuffed the key into her full chest, hiding it between her two mountains.

She put the keychain back in its original place and, with a heavy heart, went to the bathroom to take a hot bath.

Perhaps it was the effect of the hot water, but her tense mood gradually calmed down, and her plan became clearer in her mind.

This was her only chance in her life. This time, she didn’t want to lose!

“Shirley, wait for me. I will take you out of the Great Demon King’s clutches.” Hilna buried her head in the bathwater and prayed fervently.

Chapter 90: The Princess Doesn’t Want to Lose Again p1

At noon, the entire caravan stopped for a one-hour lunch break.

Because they were traveling, the lunch wasn’t as lavish as usual.

But the advantage was that they could have a picnic-style meal, laying out a carpet on the ground and having everyone sit around it to eat.

The steward had set out with three thousand troops a few days ago, and Afra had left early this morning to lead the Silver Moon Knights at the front of the caravan. She wouldn’t be back until the evening break.

As for Eve and the three young knights, they were naturally taken along as well. Afra was diligently teaching these three young prodigies.

This left only Carol and the others to eat with Kailun.

They chose to eat by a clean stream. They laid out a comfortable carpet and placed the food needed for lunch. The simple preparation was complete.

It’s worth mentioning that Isabella seemed to be a little afraid of Carol. At lunch, she didn’t even dare to sit opposite her.

“By the way, I received information about the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden of the Divine Temple yesterday. The intel says they’re trying to persuade an 8th-rank magician named Kailson to come out of retirement.”

Isabella, biting into a soft bun, reported the latest intelligence to Kailun.

“Kailson, the 8th-rank magician? I do have a vague impression of him.”

Kailun nodded, eating a piece of beef jerky. In his previous life, he had heard of the other man’s glorious achievements. An 8th-rank was a core force in the war between humans and the Abyss.

“You’re so nonchalant about it. If he really comes out, do you have a way to stop him?”

Isabella was puzzled by Kailun’s calmness. In her opinion, an 8th-rank magician could completely tip the scales of a war.

“It’s just an 8th-rank magician. I have a way to trick… to invite one over.”

Kailun shrugged nonchalantly, “If Kailson doesn’t come, so be it. If he dares to come, I’ll have someone ambush him and kill him before he reaches the battlefield.
Besides, this guy is always high-profile. His whereabouts are easy to track. If he really intends to go to the Xiya Kingdom, we have time to prepare in advance.”

Isabella shook her head in disbelief, “Are you sure? There are no 8th-ranks in the Xiya Kingdom. According to the intelligence I have, you’ve never left the Xiya Kingdom.”

Killing an 8th-rank wasn’t something that an ordinary 8th-rank could do. In many cases, it would take at least two or three people of the same level to have a chance.

Isabella’s doubts were not unfounded. After all, Kailun’s circle limited his knowledge of those top-tier powerhouses.

“So, Miss Isabella, would you like to bet with me?” Kailun looked at Isabella, who had lowered her veil.

“Bet… I’d rather not bet.”

Isabella took out a gold coin and quietly divined for herself. The result showed that there was a chance of her losing if she bet with Kailun.

This meant that Kailun really might know an 8th-rank.

“Fate magic is really useful. Why don’t you teach me too, Miss Isabella?”

Kailun looked at the gold coin in Isabella’s hand with a meaningful expression.

She looked at Kailun in surprise. She hadn’t expected her divination to be seen through, “I’m sorry, the fate magic I learned cannot be passed on to those outside my family.”

“So, those who learn fate magic are all selfish people.” Carol took a sip of milk and muttered softly.

Hearing Carol’s words, Isabella immediately cowered. She quickly moved, hiding behind Vivian, “disappearing.”

Kailun’s gaze shifted between Carol and Isabella, and some interesting ideas suddenly flashed in his mind.

If Isabella wasn’t an ally, he could use Carol to bully her properly.

Feeling Kailun’s evil gaze, Isabella began to doubt whether it was too reckless of her to come alone this time.

This pervert wouldn’t really have thoughts about her small body, would he?

“I’ll go deliver some food to the older princess first. Continue chatting.”

He glanced at the sun high in the sky, picked up a cup of milk and a piece of bread, and got up to leave.

For him, the older princess was his top priority this week.

“That guy is definitely going to bully the princess!” After Kailun left, Winnie, who had been silent in the corner, finally dared to speak loudly.

She quickly grabbed a piece of bread, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed and swallowed it in large bites.

For someone who didn’t know when they would be locked up again, every bite of food brought immense happiness.

Winnie had never imagined that being full was already such a happy thing.

“Speaking of which, how did Winnie get on the bad side of this demon, Kailun? Do you have any clues?”

Taking advantage of Kailun’s absence, Vivian turned to Winnie with a questioning gaze.

“Clues? It feels like this guy suddenly came after me, without any warning.
If I had to say, it’s probably because of Paul. I don’t know why, but I can sense that this demon, Kailun, really dislikes Paul.”

Winnie pondered for a moment and replied.

Now, Paul’s status in her heart was similar to Kailun’s. The former was a roast duck she couldn’t understand, and the latter was a pure demon.

Vivian: “Hmm, that could be a reason. After all, Paul’s sister and aunt were both taken by him.
Of course, it’s also possible that he just lusts after your beauty. After all, your beauty is famous.
He also expressed the same dislike towards my sister. As for my sister, it’s probably because she had the idea of attacking Kailun.”

In fact, Vivian was very fortunate that Kailun hadn’t used those evil methods against her. She couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, but she felt that he was actually quite nice to her.

Isabella poked her head out from behind Vivian, “I can feel his malicious amusement towards us. It seems that bullying us brings him pleasure.”

Vivian: “Be bold. Take out the ‘seems.’”

Winnie suddenly rolled her eyes and chuckled, “Why don’t we all unite and resist him? When he’s trying to do something bad at night, we’ll all knock him unconscious and tie him up.
Then, we’ll lock him in a cage and feed him one bite of food every three days. Oh, right, we have to feed him with our feet.”

The other girls immediately moved away from Winnie… A madwoman sharpening her knife in the night…

Vivian: “No, no. I have a good relationship with Kailun.”

Isabella: “I’m his ally. I can’t betray him.”

Carol: “Go on. I’m listening.”

Winnie: “???”

Looking at Carol, who was taking notes, she felt like she had been a little too arrogant.

“That… I admit that I was a little too loud just now. Can you pretend you didn’t hear it?”

Winnie knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and felt that she would be bullied terribly tonight.

“It’s okay. I wrote it all down.” Carol closed her notebook.

Winnie felt that she should better wash herself and obediently confess. That way, maybe she could finish her daily work a few hours earlier.

…

“Your Highness, are you hungry? I brought you some food.”

Kailun opened the door and saw Hilna in the cage. Compared to her previous naked state, she was now wrapped in a thin blanket.

She looked very pitiful now, just like the fallen princess in people’s imaginations.

“Hey, who’s the heartless person who turned our noble princess into this state? It’s truly satisfying to see.”

Kailun exclaimed as he placed the milk and bread on top of the cage.

After teasing Hilna, Kailun turned to Shirley in the room. She was looking at him coldly.

“Since I’ve released you, you can move freely. Go eat. There might be combat missions later. Don’t forget that I’m your employer now.
Also, although you can move freely, you’re not allowed to feed the older princess.”

Kailun urged Shirley, “Go out. Let me have a private chat with the older princess.”

Shirley didn’t listen to Kailun. She stood in the room like a wooden stake.

“Shirley, go out. I’ll talk to him.”

Hilna looked at Shirley. Her tone was filled with sadness.

The latter hesitated for a long time before obeying Hilna’s orders.

After Shirley left, Kailun closed the door and sat down on the ground in front of Hilna.

“What do you want? You’ve already taken everything from me. Why are you still torturing me like this?”

Hilna’s mental state was a bit bad. There was both sadness and hysteria in her voice as she questioned Kailun.

“Your Highness, don’t be angry. Have some food. Otherwise, you won’t have the energy to scold me.”

Kailun smiled throughout Hilna’s questioning. He took the bread from the cage, tore it into small pieces, and placed it by the side of the cage.

Hilna hesitated for a few seconds before leaning her head over and carefully eating the small piece of bread in Kailun’s hand.

Submission would save her from being tortured, compared to defying Kailun.

“See? If you could always be this obedient, who would want to bully you?”

Kailun stroked Hilna’s head. Although she was reluctant, she didn’t choose to shake his hand off.

Seeing that Hilna’s obedience had improved significantly, Kailun broke off another small piece of bread and placed it by her mouth.

Although Hilna wanted to remind Kailun to wash his hands, she swallowed the bread in his hand with a sigh.

As a defeated princess, her outcome wasn’t the worst.

Hilna comforted herself in her heart, escaping from reality.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Perhaps because he was feeding her too quickly, Hilna accidentally choked.

Seeing this, Kailun kindly said, “Your Highness, don’t rush. I’ll get you some milk.”

But Kailun, holding the cup, which was wider than the gap in the cage, looked troubled, “What should I do? The cup won’t fit in.
How about this? I’ll pour it from above, and Your Highness, you can catch it.”

He didn’t give Hilna time to think. He tilted the cup above her, letting the milk flow down the side of the cup.

Guided by Kailun, Hilna didn’t have time to think. She tilted her head back, opened her charming mouth, and caught the milk below.

“Glug, glug, glug~”

The sound was quite pleasant. She caught almost half a cup without spilling a drop.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp~”

Hilna puffed out her cheeks and swallowed all the milk. It seemed that the milk had been sweetened. It was sweet and delicious, as if her heart had been cleansed.

“Good job. Very good.” Kailun rubbed Hilna’s head and praised her again.

He stood up, found a larger plate, poured the remaining milk into the plate, and placed it outside the cage.

If Hilna wanted to drink it, she would probably have to lick it.

“I’ll come feed you every day from now on. If you behave well, I’ll let you out. Understand?”

Leaving behind these words, Kailun left the room, satisfied.

To minimize Shirley’s influence on Hilna during the day, Kailun had called her to accompany Afra and lead the troops.

It would only take a few days for him to train Hilna to the state he wanted. When she gradually accepted this life, Kailun would give her despair again.

Kailun learned about Winnie’s gossiping behind his back in the afternoon, so when night fell, he punished her severely.

After he was done, he even kicked her out onto the floor, forcing her to sleep on the floor.

Because of his heartless actions, Winnie’s hard-earned favorability went back down, staying at -90.

She hated Kailun, but she couldn’t do anything except hate him.

Huddled in her blankets, Winnie gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Kailun, who was sleeping on the soft bed, while forcefully pressing her legs together.

She now understood deeply how cruel it was to be unable to close her legs.

With her whole body tired and sore, Winnie rubbed her relatively soft pillow and fell fast asleep. She would take a bath tomorrow.

After all, the mobile palace’s bathroom was right next to Kailun’s room. She had a unique advantage.

The other girls might simply use magic to clean the dust off their clothes because of their modesty, but she could take a bath every day. It was a small win.

The following days were relatively peaceful. Kailun focused his energy on bullying Hilna and teaching Carol.

Three days passed in a flash. Facing Colette’s territory, which was holding a banquet, Kailun’s Knights achieved a great victory at a small cost.

Using the captured Duke Colette, Kailun successfully took over the territory’s military and financial power, further enriching his little treasury.

It was a pity that Colette’s thirty thousand troops couldn’t be directly deployed to the battlefield. They needed to be trained for a while before they could be used.

Kailun took half a day to handle a series of miscellaneous matters, then ordered the Silver Moon Knights to advance again.

This attack naturally exposed their whereabouts, but that was what Kailun wanted.
