Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Chapter 251 The Wish of the Savior
Although we don't know why the gods concealed the secrets in this way, Lin En's achievements are verifiable and there is basically no doubt about that.

So after a slightly awkward greeting, Aklie led Lin En to the Holy Mountain of Light, located in the center of the Holy City of Light.

The Holy Mountain of Light has two peaks. The headquarters of the Holy See of Light is located on the top of one of them, while the imperial palace of the Empire of Light is built on the other.

There are two roads leading up the mountain. The Empire and the Church each have their own mountain guards. The road leading to the Imperial Palace on the left peak is only accessible to those who have obtained permission, while the road leading to the right peak is open to everyone.

Because the Church of Light allows any believer to go to the Church to worship, even though this is the headquarters of the Church of Light, there is actually no essential difference from the churches in other towns. The only difference is that the presiding priest is of a higher rank, and people generally call him the Pope.

At the headquarters of the Holy See on the Holy Mountain of Light, Lin En met most of the high-ranking officials of the Holy See of Light, more than half of whom he had dealt with before. After all, he had really been very successful in the Empire of Light.

In other words, he is not very familiar with the current emperor of the Bright Empire, because the emperor he was more familiar with is gone, and the one in power now is the son of that elder brother.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your hard work in coming all the way here. Lunch is ready. Please move to the banquet hall."

Just as Lin En was chatting awkwardly but politely with a group of Vatican officials who should be very familiar with each other but are not, Xue'er, who flew away on her own as soon as she arrived at the Holy Mountain of Light, arrested her master and came to greet him.

Claire had been hiding behind a large group of high-ranking Vatican officials, not wanting to stand out and attract attention.

Although she was the deputy chief judge of the Court of Judgment of Light and was an official of some stature, she was still a little inexperienced compared to the group of cardinals who were always dressed in red robes. In such an occasion, she had no qualifications to have close contact with Lin En. Even if Xue'er found her and tried to pull her towards Lin En, she could only report on his behalf that the meal could begin.

"Claire, you're quite heartless. You left Xue'er at my house and then left on your own. If you had known this would happen, you would have waited for me for two days so we could have set off together."

Lin En was very happy to see Claire, whom he had met before after traveling through time, among the crowd of people he was forced to be half-acquainted with.

Not only because she was prettier than these old men, but also because... well, just because she was pretty.

When the people around saw Lin En taking the initiative to talk to Claire, many of them couldn't help but brighten up.

Claire left her pet at the home of Lynn, the Divine Envoy? This... is something!
I've heard for a long time that Lord Lin En has no other faults except that he likes women. Now that I see him and Claire are so familiar with each other, isn't this just right?

I've heard that the eight empires are planning to use a beauty trap to lure Lord Lin to the front lines to fight against the Demon King's army. It seems Claire is the bait thrown by the Empire of Light.

But now it seems that the piranha has taken the bait before the bait is thrown, and it’s great that he took the bait first!

It was also Claire who was sent by the Empire of Light to seduce Lord Lin En. If it succeeded, the Empire and Lord Lin En would marry.

But if the Empire of Light hasn't sent anyone over yet, and Claire has already established a relationship with Lord Lin in the Holy See of Light, then that means their Holy See and Lord Lin have a deep friendship.

The same person, representing different identities, using it in different ways, and using it at different times will produce completely different results.

Is this some kind of honey trap the Empire is waiting for? Is there any wine at the banquet? I'll pour it in later!

Many high-ranking officials of the Holy See looked at each other and understood what the other meant. This was the tacit understanding between old partners of many years.

"I didn't expect the Empire to suddenly make such a decision. I was also confused when my royal brother summoned me back to the country. However, since it's to recover our homeland, I will naturally not refuse when the Empire needs me."

Claire still maintained an attitude of keeping a distance in front of the big guys. In fact, as a nobody, she should be trembling with fear, but that was her nature. Even if she was scared, she would not lose her color too much.

Perhaps it was only when she was with Lin En that she could not maintain her iceberg state. After all, compared with the shining divine medal, her coldness would turn into water if she came into contact with it, making her seem like she was just a figurehead.

"Then do you know what they are going to do with you?"

Lynn asked with interest.

"My royal brother is my biological brother, born of the same mother. He didn't hide it from me, and in fact, he couldn't have hidden it from me... After all, with our limited strength, we wouldn't have much chance of defeating the Demon King's army or reclaiming the Divine Protection Continent. Even fighting against any single demon army on our own wouldn't be a big deal. If we can't lure you over, then we're all going to die."

When discussing this topic with Lin En, Claire didn't blush at all, nor did she feel sad about being used as bait.

As a member of the royal family of the Empire of Light and a clergyman of the Church of Light, no matter which of her identities she is in, she is willing to sacrifice herself to fight against the demons.

Even if this kind of sacrifice is not the kind of grand and passionate sacrifice, but another kind of sacrifice that also involves blood but is not very heroic.

The education Claire received since childhood was different from that of her brother, the crown prince. Her father trained her more towards being a female knight. This was also the reason why she joined the Court of Judgment of Light after growing up, because that was where she could put her knowledge into practice and cleanse the world of filth.

And there is nothing more filthy than the demons in this world. Whether it is for justice or for the people, she can accept any price she pays to destroy the demons.

Including dedicating oneself to the true hero who can destroy the demons.

Of course, that hero happened to be the one she liked the most, so she could only say that she was blessed by the goddess of luck.

"If you were to be with me in this way, would you be a little reluctant?"

Seeing that Claire knew everything in her heart, Lin En simply spoke to her directly.

Anyway, when they gathered together to talk in a low voice, the people around them were very tactful and quietly walked away, leaving the "young couple" enough private space.

"I never thought about falling in love in the future, but I did plan to find a demon-slaying hero to marry when I was old enough. Now... I don't feel any regrets, I just moved up my plans."

"And... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I have a good impression of you. Maybe it's not that I have a strong impression of you as a person, but I admire the hero who saved the world. So I'm probably attracted to your identity as the Holy Emperor of Miracles, whether this Holy Emperor is Ryan, Mann, or Linn..."

It was obvious that Claire was truly... ignorant when it came to relationships. She couldn't even read her own heart, not even knowing if she liked someone. But no one could teach her about these things; she could only figure them out on her own. If she could figure it out, great! But if she couldn't, then she was done for.

"As long as you don't feel wronged, that's fine. Anyway, I'm a very philanthropic person. As long as I'm compatible with someone and give me three days to spend time with them, I'll probably fall in love with them."

This is just the extra words that Lin En said after he got the idea. In fact, as long as he felt it was appropriate, he could count the seconds to see a beautiful girl.

"Why should I feel wronged? This is consistent with my original plan. Although it's a little earlier, you're no ordinary demon-fighting hero. No matter how I calculate it, I'm not at a disadvantage."

Claire blinked and said as a matter of course.

Lin En looked at her ignorance, which could not be concealed by her cold expression, and wondered how a royal family could raise such a princess.

"Why don't you just be my girlfriend now, don't wait until we're done defeating the demons. I'll treat you and Xue'er just as well as I treat Vivian and Guji."

It's rare to find a girl with such a pure mind. Now that Lin En has met her, how can he resist teasing her?

"I don't know if you're good to Vivian... But it doesn't matter. My royal brother has already sold me to you. I can't be your girlfriend, so I can only be your wife. Also... if you do it in advance, it won't be good. After you defeat the demons, I can give myself to you as a reward."

"Although I may be a little cheeky to say this, I think I'm pretty good-looking. Wouldn't that be a decent reward for defeating demons?"

When she said the last sentence, Claire's face turned slightly red, which was extremely rare. It might be because she really felt that she was a little shameless, rather than because she was shy.

"Ah, how abominable! Claire is so mean! She didn't even let me taste the prize first..."

Hearing Claire's words, Lin En hummed in feigned dissatisfaction. If there weren't people around after all, and they walked away but didn't leave the sight range directly, Lin En really wanted to recreate the "Fuck, group friends are so bad" emoticon of crying with his head raised in the rain.

"What's wrong with me? Don't talk nonsense!"

Claire had obviously never seen someone as "high-end" as Lin En play this kind of trick. She was a little confused for a moment, and it took her a long time to calm down before she responded with a frown.

As expected, she still doesn't know how to do it. The same response, but if you replace "I" with "others", the feeling will definitely be very different. She really doesn't know how to build closer relationships.

"Okay, okay, Claire isn't bad. Claire is the best. Claire is a good kid..."

Seeing that Claire wouldn't take the bait, Lin En threw her seductive eyes at the blind man and could only throw her hands up and let it go.

"Although I don't know how to fall in love, you are so disgusting. I don't know how they can stand you."

Claire was naive, not stupid. Even though she had never eaten pork and had rarely seen pigs run, some of her words made her teeth tremble. It was obviously not the kind of communication that a normal couple would have.

However, this was only the limitation of Claire's knowledge as a person from the Miracle World. In Lin En's original world, there were many couples in their twenties or even early thirties who still called each other "baby". Moreover, they would be affectionate with each other regardless of the occasion, completely disregarding the lives of the single people around them.

Lin En used to firmly resist such unethical behavior, but after becoming the one who could abuse the dog, he would only say... That's it? It's not strong enough!
"I didn't even get goosebumps. It seems I still haven't learned enough... Okay, enough teasing. Since I took the initiative and came to the Bright Empire ahead of time, I'm naturally willing to contribute to the annihilation of the demons and the recovery of the fallen Divine Protection Continent. However, I have my own plans and arrangements for this battle, so I won't be following the strategic arrangements set by the eight empires."

"Before the coalition arrives, I hope to negotiate terms with the emperors of the eight nations. After all, I'm the main force, and the coalition they've formed, to be frank, is probably just a bunch of my own. So it shouldn't be a case of them offering me some bait and then taking it as a commission. Instead, I should propose the terms myself and see if they're willing to accept them."

"But I'm not afraid of you laughing at me for being shameless. Since the eight empires have all taken the initiative to offer, I will accept all the bait and commissions they offer. Then, on top of that, I will also put forward additional conditions."

"After all, to be honest, my status as the Holy Emperor of Miracles is much higher than those emperors of the eight nations. If I want the big guys to help the little brothers below, the benefits I get are not enough to cover the appearance fee."

After teasing Claire for a few times and realizing that he couldn't make her laugh, Lin En gave up temporarily and turned to talk to her about business.

Lin En had no objection to working for the World of Miracles again, but he had the final say on the specific operational procedures. Moreover, he was now the Demon King, and theoretically all the demons were his subjects.

If you want him to kill your demon, then of course... you have to pay more!

As for how much to add, that depends on how the negotiation goes. Anyway, he doesn't really like shiny gold coins. Are there any that can be used for both kissing and sex?

Ahem, I've gotten off track. I didn't mean to add beautiful women. If he was really that superficial, then the moment he realized that he was invincible, he would have started hunting for beauties all over the world.

To this day, the number of his harem has not exceeded ten... twenty, uh... not more than thirty, which represents his noble character, rationality and restraint.

What he really wanted was actually very simple. He could help them eliminate the demons and recover the lost territory, or even reshape the entire miracle world back to its original territory.

But they must give him a clear blue world, or at least a relatively clear blue world.

Because he wanted the world to be like this, but never had it.

He now possesses supreme status and absolutely invincible strength in both worlds, but the filthy demon world may be difficult to conquer, so he can only place his hopes on the world of miracles.

This desire became even more urgent after he witnessed how the evil industry revived during the brief period of peace.

This may be the ultimate wish of the savior hero that is most appropriate and most consistent with his character.

After all, what I want to save is the world. If the world is not good, wouldn’t it be a loss for me to save it?
