I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

Hard!

The fist has hardened!

If I weren't too weak to beat this crazy woman, I would definitely give her a good beating.

"I'd like to ask you that!? Is this how you sell your daughter?" Ange leaned closer, grabbed Casdale's collar, and scolded her fiercely.

Kastal smiled awkwardly, turning his gaze away and avoiding Ange's eyes.

"Ahem... I didn't expect Hathaway to have yandere traits..."

"Isn't this your fault?! If you hadn't flirted with her, would you have driven her to become a yandere?!"

Anjie's voice rose several decibels.

She's genuinely a little angry now.

On one hand, she was dissatisfied with Castel's irresponsibility, but on the other hand, she was even angrier because it was clearly this guy's chaotic situation that had dragged her into it.

This is outrageous...

Cthulhu, on the other hand, escaped unscathed.

Because Cthulhu and Castor have no direct relationship.

As the Elf Queen, Hathaway could naturally see through Cthulhu's true form at a glance, and she didn't want her people to provoke those unreasonable madmen from mythical creatures.

So Cthulhu is currently sitting in the reception room of the Elven Palace, enjoying the delicious food of the Elven race, while also basking in the warm sunshine and the fragrant flowers.

"What are you planning to do next?" Ange suppressed her dissatisfaction, leaning against the prison bars, coldly looking at Kastal. "Are you really going to marry the Elf Queen like this?"

As expected, Casdale shrugged, looking somewhat helpless. "That's all we can do. You heard what Hathaway said earlier; she gave me poison made from the sap of the Sacred Tree. This kind of poison... would be deadly even if Cthulhu ingested it without warning."

Anjie snorted coldly, "Heh, who told you to provoke her? Oh well, at least we know she doesn't mean us any harm and doesn't want to kill us."

Seemingly aware of the destructive power of the mother and daughter, the cell was filled with elemental shielding magic circles. Unable to sense magical elements, they couldn't use magic, thus preventing them from escaping.

However, although the elves' idea was correct, they did not expect that the saintess they captured was not dealing magic damage, but physical damage!

In fact, a prison of this level is no match for Anjie.

With her strength to tear apart outer gods, if she wanted to leave, not only the anti-magic prison, but even this elven forest couldn't stop her.

However, the task assigned by the system has not yet been completed, so he will remain by Castel's side for the time being.

Ange was not worried at all about whether she could escape the elves' imprisonment.

At worst, I can just set the Elf Forest on fire. Anyway, there are no forest rangers in this world, so I don't have to worry about being held legally responsible.

Even if the elves investigate afterward, Ange can shift the blame onto Kasdair, since she can leave, but Kasdair, suffering from the deadly poison, can only stay obediently in the elven forest.

As for the reasons...

To prevent her daughter from getting hurt, the mother deliberately started a fire to cover her daughter's escape, while she stayed behind to cover the retreat. She then used the threat of marriage to force her daughter to leave.

Well, this reason is not only flawless, but it can also be used to promote the doctrine of filial piety of the Church of Light, further expanding the church's influence in people's faith.

If some underhanded tactics are employed during this period, such as returning the title of Saintess to Kasdair under the pretext of posthumous conferment, Kasdair can then marry the Elf Queen in the name of the Saintess of Light.

From a selfish perspective, it would allow him to get rid of the mess left by the saintess; from the perspective of the church's development, it would also give the Church of Light another elven ally.

This is a huge profit no matter how you look at it!

Casdale had no idea that her beloved daughter had already made perfect arrangements for her funeral.

Anjie, however, looked at the progress on the system task board and a smile gradually spread across her face.

[Task Completion Status (6/7)]

Great, the mission will be completed by tomorrow night, and then it will be time for me to fly away!

Just as Ange was lost in her fantasies, the cell door was slowly pushed open, and Hathaway, who had just left, reappeared in the dungeon. This time, however, she was pushing a three-tiered cart full of delicious food.

The sight of Her Majesty the Queen, so dignified and elegant, behaving like a servant is quite striking.

"It's already noon, Castel~ You must be hungry, come on, let me feed you."

The moment Hathaway stepped into the cell, her gaze was fixed on Casdale.

When she said this, Her Majesty the Queen had already regained her dignified and gentle demeanor from the beginning.

If you ignore the sickly gleam in her eyes, she's practically the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Seeing Hathaway's appearance, Ange and Casdale instinctively shivered.

The latter foresaw his later fate and was terrified.

The former thought that her own Noah also had the same virtuous wife and loving mother personality. After learning from her mother's mistakes, Ange decided that she must treat Noah better when she got home!

Hathaway had no intention of feeding Ange; she simply placed Ange's lunch in front of her after opening the cell door.

Then Anjie witnessed the feeding play firsthand.

Hathaway tried all sorts of strange and unusual things on Casdale, but of course, it was limited to feeding and she didn't do anything excessive.

Even so, it still surprised Ange. Ange never expected that the seemingly dignified and holy Elf Queen would have so many different ways of playing.

She was so frightened that she ate three bowls of rice in a row!

After Casdale ate her fill, she lay on the grass with empty eyes, like a discarded doll.

However, Ange did enjoy watching it very much.

She was mainly happy to see that wicked woman, Castile, suffer.

Only after it was "over" did Hathaway regain her dignified demeanor.

She smiled gently at Ange, "I'm sorry for putting you in jail as well, it must have been frightening for you. But I'm sorry I can't give you your freedom for now, because I need you to keep Caster in check."

Ange's lips twitched. Even so, she didn't think she could persuade Hathaway to let her go.

Since she had already planned her escape route, she was no longer nervous and simply gave a professional smile, "No... as a daughter, I'm also happy to see my mother happy."

Hathaway seemed surprised by Ange's open-mindedness and was overjoyed, praising her happily, "You are such a filial daughter."

Anjie's smile deepened. "I think so too~"

Chapter 31, Section 135: Please marry my daughter.

Anjie had assumed that their conversation would end in such a pleasant atmosphere.

However, in the next second, Hathaway suddenly changed the subject.

"Since Saintess Ange is cooperating with me so much... could you do me a small favor?" Hathaway looked at Ange with a smile.

Ange assumed that Hathaway had come up with another idea to mess with Casdale, and immediately nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Of course, no problem. As her daughter, I will do everything I can for my mother's happiness!"

For some reason, after hearing those words, Hathaway's smile grew even brighter.

Then, under Ange's increasingly bewildered gaze, Hathaway said with a smile:

"In that case, please marry my daughter Betty."

"...ha?"

Ange blinked incredulously. "Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. Could you... could you say it again?"

“Of course, no problem.” This time, Hathaway slowed her pace. “Please marry my daughter Betty. I’ve carefully considered what Casdale said, and I suddenly feel that what she said makes a lot of sense.”

If it were just a marriage between her and me, I might not be able to control her philandering nature. So I thought... let you marry Betty too, that way we'll be even closer.

And Betty will be an adult soon, then you can have the ceremony under the sacred tree and have a baby. Don't worry, Castor and I will take care of the child; that will further deplete her energy and keep her obediently by my side!

"..."

Anjie's expression gradually turned serious.

She was quite certain that this elf queen was not only yandere, but also had a serious illness!

Is this a solution that a human brain could come up with? Oh, she really isn't human... Hmm, for a moment now it actually makes a lot of sense?

Anjie gasped; her wild thoughts had almost gotten her completely tangled up.

Hathaway seemed to have planned this all along, so she didn't give Ange any right to refuse.

"Today is my wedding with Castells, and tomorrow is your wedding with Betty. Don't worry, I'll let you out later. Use this day to get to know Betty better."

Hathaway suddenly flashed a sickly smile again. "But... don't even think about running away. Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll ever see Castael again."

Anjie fell silent.

She really wanted to say, "Is this for real?"

But the system's tasks prevented her from having such ideas.

After saying this, Hathaway pushed the cart out of the cell.

Ange hugged her knees and stared silently at Casdale, who lay dead on the straw mat.

Finally, she let out a soft sigh.

Anyway, she'll leave after completing her mission tomorrow, and as for the wedding or anything like that, she'll absolutely not agree.

At that point, I'll have no choice but to elope.

However, this might have some impact on Betty. After all, it would be a disgrace for the bride to suddenly disappear and run away from the wedding of a dignified elf princess.

However, Princess Betty probably wouldn't agree to this sudden marriage proposal.

"Hmm... I'll talk to Betty later and we can discuss what to do. If it's absolutely necessary... we'll have to elope."

Anjie murmured to herself softly.

...

Just as Hathaway had said, the cell door was opened in the afternoon, and a servant bowed to Ange as she slowly walked out of the cell, saying, "I'm sorry you've suffered, Saint Ange."

Anjie waved her hand. "It's okay. Where are you taking me next?"

The servant smiled and said, "I'll take you to the palace's back garden. Princess Betty is already waiting for you there."

"...good."

The elves are the race closest to nature, apart from the druids, so it's no surprise that the royal palace's back garden is filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants, each vying for attention and displaying their beauty.
