I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Helena and Joan were both naive and innocent, so they both believed Roland's lies.

But senior student Catherine looked suspicious, though she didn't say anything more.

Catherine said, "Of course we can't do what Helena and Joan are saying—you are essentially hostages, and the goddess Heracles is a dangerous kidnapper with serious mental problems."

If she gets upset, you will also be in danger.

If everything goes smoothly, that would be the best outcome.

But if things go wrong, it's not a big deal.

You are all followers of the wizards. Heaven hopes for peace talks, and they will not make things difficult for you.

Similarly, after we've dealt with the real Olivia, we can't make things difficult for her. There always needs to be some room for maneuver.

Furthermore, once Heracles' identity is discovered, we will need the real Olivia to step in and resolve some issues.

Roland understood what his senior meant and replied, "Indeed, after all, Olivia said that the goddess Heraca has escaped, and she has a severe epilepsy and may mistake herself for someone else."

—Olivia had barely left with our messenger when another Olivia appeared. The wizards naturally assumed she was the escaped goddess Heracles.

Therefore, the wizards naturally dared not let her run around until the matter was clarified.

Catherine nodded and added, "In the eyes of wizards, Goddess Heracles is a benevolent and righteous deity, and also a predecessor who ascended to heaven. Therefore, we naturally treat her well."

And once the matter is clarified, we will naturally, at the request of the real Olivia, assist Heaven in sending the goddess Heracles back to where she belongs.

After a pause, Catherine looked at Roland and said, "With the daughter of the Sun God as a guest at the wizard's place, even if Heaven mistakenly identifies Prince Alaye, who is currently a guest at the Holy Court, as an evil god like Dalark, it will not easily harm him."

Under the senior's indifferent gaze, Roland got goosebumps all over.

He always felt that his senior had discovered something.

Helena chimed in, "Senior Catherine, your analogy is inappropriate. Judging from the latest paper published by Grandpa King of a Thousand Eyes, Dalark is not some normal god."

He possessed a trace of the bloodline of the Mad God.

Therefore, one of the sun god's companions may have been related to the god of madness, thus Darak is the son of the god of madness.

It would be more accurate to compare Darak to the mad saint from the Old Testament.

Joan said, “Indeed, and the reason why the Mad God is the Mad God is because He was the first divine son of the Holy Mother of Dawn—when the Holy Mother of Dawn was still the Mad God.”

Aurelia, however, was different. She was born later, the Divine Child born after the Third Dawn Mother was freed from madness.

Aurelia called Roland "brother" only because of their distant cousin relationship, Harland. It wasn't because Roland was the older brother of her 'mad saint'.

The Alaye royal family are not descendants of the Mad Mother of the Three Evils; they are devout followers of the Dawn Mother of the Three.

Helena suddenly paused, looking at Roland and saying, "Hey, speaking of Senior Aurelie, when I was chatting with Aurelie, she said that the evil god that Count Baal and the others worship is actually called Aleye. Why is that?"

"How come that evil god shares the same surname as your family?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Roland was furious. He shouted, "That girl even said that the goddess Heraca is Olivia! What she says is completely unreliable!"

Joan said, "Hey~~ O'Reilly may be unreliable, but what she said is very reliable."

She showed me the old scriptures.

Alaye is a god of madness. Or rather, He is the mad and evil Son of the Third Holy Mother of Madness, and also O'Reilly's own brother.

Furthermore, in Old Catholic records, Alaye's 'personal name' is also Roland.

Upon hearing this, Helena looked at Roland in astonishment.

Roland was sweating profusely. He said, "The translations in the old scriptures are all wrong. The word is violet, not Roland."

Helena looked at Roland with a strange gaze: "Senior, you didn't change that 'Violet' name, did you?"

Catherine said, "Roland, judging from the old scriptures we collected in Maldock, there are indeed many suspicious points in the Dawn Order's old scriptures. Some of the stone tablets also show signs of being artificially aged."

"What do you three mean by saying all this? Do you doubt me? Do you doubt that I altered the old scriptures?"

Overwhelmed with guilt, Roland instinctively took a step back. He glared at the three men and snapped, "You actually suspect me? You actually think I'm a suspect?"

Joan chuckled and patted Roland on the shoulder, saying, "Brother, we don't suspect you, and you're not a suspect—we're certain you're the criminal who altered the old scriptures."

Roland was completely dumbfounded.

He glanced at the senior student calmly sipping her tea, then at Joan beside him, and then at Helena, who was feigning ignorance. Suddenly, he understood something.

Catherine just deliberately brought this up!
They didn't just suspect something; they had evidence!
"Roland."

Senior Catherine calmly put down her teacup and said, "Although you are an Alaye, you have lived in the countryside since childhood and have not received a formal noble education. You also do not know the history of your own family."

Therefore, you know nothing about the origin of your family name.

So much so that you've taken the absurd step of revising the old scriptures.

At this point, Catherine shook her head helplessly.

Joan interjected, "The reason the Alaye family uses Alaye as their surname is not because the family worships this evil god."

On the contrary, they are the guardians of the mad and evil Son, commanded by the gods of dawn.

Each generation of Alaya uses the "Alaya Visualization Method" to visualize Alaya and continuously draw upon the evil power from the evil god.

Then, the Dawn Order will purify the evil from their bodies.

For thousands of years, the entire dynasty and the Dawn Church of the old era have been using this method to slowly purify the pollution of evil gods.

The reason why Alaye's ancestors were all insane was that although their madness had been purified, they were left with mental aftereffects.

Catherine said, "That's why the Alaye meditation can drive people crazy."

The reason you haven't gone mad is because the power within the god Alaye has completely vanished.

In the prophecy, when a wizard named Roland appears in the Alaye family, it signifies that the family has completed its mission.

In fact, your family's work was almost done in your father's generation, because he also embarked on the path of wizardry. It's just that he couldn't step through the first gate of truth.

Joan nodded and added, "If you are not clean, you cannot step through the first gate of truth and become a formal wizard."

Catherine said, “That’s why your father sent you to Vermeek—every generation of Alayes goes there for purification and cleansing.”

Helena chuckled, "Senior, didn't Holy Spirit Hospital give you a discharge certificate? You just have a mental illness, not epilepsy."

Roland suddenly understood why his father had fabricated the 'Alaye Dynasty'.

It is a crucial tool for whitewashing.

'It was just a false alarm. Luckily, I didn't tell my senior the truth. If she knew the Aleye Dynasty was fictional, things would have been much worse.'
Roland breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down on the sofa. Helena chuckled, "Senior always thought he was connected to an evil god, so he was terrified and secretly changed the old scriptures. Actually, the opposite is true. Don't you even know if you're an evil god?"

Roland confidently declared, "The church has always liked to treat baseless accusations as factual."

The old scriptures mentioned the coming of 'Holy Son Roland,' which naturally frightened me. I thought this Holy Son referred to the wicked Holy Son of the Mad Mother of the Third.

But actually, I forgot one thing: the Alaye family are descendants of gods and forbidden wizards. Every generation of Alaye was originally a holy child.

Therefore, the meaning of "holy son" is that the Alaye family is no longer guilty and has returned to its status as children of the gods—this "holy son" refers to the 'Son of Heaven'.

Catherine and the others' eyes lit up.

Qiong gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of my brother, he explained a question that the scribe had been wondering about for a long time in just a few words."

Catherine nodded and said, "Actually, it's quite obvious. It always mentions 'Saint Roland' instead of 'Mad Saint Roland'."
Son of the gods, firstborn son of heaven—what an ancient phrase.

The emperors of Alaya used to refer to themselves in this way. But after the decline of Catholicism and the rise of Protestantism, this term never appeared again.

The legitimacy of Alayer and Roland was thus further validated. Catherine and the other two began a heated discussion.

Roland straightened his back, his face was radiant, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

'Hahaha! The Old Scriptures can serve as strong evidence of the existence of the Alaya dynasty!'

I am no longer a fake emperor, but the most legitimate emperor in the world!

My father tricked me into taking the throne! And it's the most legitimate throne in the entire world!

Just then, Helena came over to make tea for Roland. Pointing to Roland's fingers, she said, "Hey, senior, I just noticed that you haven't been wearing a ring these past few days?"

Helena noticed this today because the ring on Catherine's ring finger looked very similar to Roland's ring.

So she was a little curious: her senior had secretly married her half a year ago, but why wasn't he wearing the ring on his ring finger?

Therefore, she had just taken a special look and suddenly remembered that her senior hadn't been wearing a ring these past two days.

Roland looked at his fingers and said, "When I came out of the Holy Pool, I gave everything to Leona."

At this point, Roland frowned: "It's strange, the snow has stopped several times in the past two days, but I still haven't been able to contact her."

Catherine said, "Leona and your things are with the goddess Heracles."

Roland suddenly realized. Only the goddess Heracles possessed such power to sever his connection with Leona.

After a pause, Roland asked in astonishment, "How did you know?"

Catherine took a sip of tea calmly, without responding directly.

She not only knew these things, but she also knew every word Roland and Olivia had said these past few days!
After a long pause, Roland turned his gaze to Catherine's ring.

His face stiffened as he asked, "What my ring can hear, your ring can hear too?"

"You are so intelligent."

Catherine gave Roland a deep look.

With a thud, the teacup in Roland's hand fell to the ground.

I thought my lie today was flawless, but it turns out my senior was just playing along with my act!

No wonder my senior always looked at me strangely whenever I mentioned the evil god or the Alaya Dynasty.

So she knew everything!
Catherine said, "It's getting late, Joan, Helena. Go and help Anna clean herself up. She's had too much fun today, don't let her exercise anymore."

Helena and Joan knew their eldest sister had something to discuss with Roland, so they exchanged a glance and quietly left the room.

The room quieted down. The senior student calmly sipped her tea, while Roland, feigning composure, picked up her teacup and brewed herself a fresh cup of tea.

He's not only done a lot of bad things these past few days, but he's also kept a lot of deadly secrets from him.

Roland felt very guilty, wondering how much her senior had overheard.

He secretly glanced at the senior student, observing her expression.

Senior Catherine always had a poker face; it was extremely difficult to discern her emotions from her expression.

But her outfit today was a bit unusual.

Beautiful evening gowns, aristocratic stockings, and red-soled high heels were Roland's favorite attire.

It seems that the senior student originally planned to be intimate with Roland today, but now it's unclear what her plans are.

At least until she heard Roland lie today, she should be in a pretty good mood.

After cleaning up the spilled teacup, Roland brazenly tried to sit next to his senior—but under Catherine's cold gaze, Roland changed his approach and poured her a cup of tea. He respectfully presented it to Catherine with both hands.

"Is something you got by deception fun?" Catherine didn't take the tea; her tone suppressed her anger, and her words were ambiguous.

The things that were obtained through deception refer to two things: one is the wife Catherine who was deceived, and the other is Olivia who was deceived into sexual relations.

This was supposed to be an expression of extreme anger, but Roland breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.

Because Catherine's focus was on emotional matters, not on who Roland actually was.

She never cared who Roland was.

She had said it in the brown fern forest: even if Roland was the evil god, she would bring him out of the ruins unharmed. Because she believed she wouldn't misjudge him.

Catherine did not disappoint Roland; she became his only chance of survival after he had faced countless near-death experiences.

Roland did not disappoint Catherine's trust. Over the years, his actions in various matters have proven that Catherine had not misjudged him.

So what if he is Alaye?

Moreover, my father had a different explanation for this matter.
Therefore, what drove Catherine mad was not who Roland actually was.

What drove her mad was that she had gone to great lengths to marry the most extraordinary prince in the world, then conquer him and become the wealthiest and most powerful woman in the world.

In the end, I found out I had added a scammer!
It's all fake!

Not only did they not receive a single penny of bride price, but they also had to bring out a huge dowry!

Catherine has made up her mind; the marriage can go ahead. After all, the deed is done.

It's so well-done it couldn't be better.

However, from now on, she will be in charge of everything at home, and she will have the final say on all the money. Roland doesn't want a single penny of his own savings anymore; as for being a princess or anything like that, keep dreaming!

As a result, with just three sentences, Roland got Senior Catherine to willingly reveal everything—and she even happily arranged two concubines for Roland. (End of Chapter)
