You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

“Cecilia, what’s your relationship with this Mr. Capeo? He seems to care about you quite a bit?”

Shiloh gently put his arm around Cecilia's shoulder and asked, feigning confusion.

"He and I were just former colleagues. We only met a few times when we were in the Knights."

Cecilia spoke calmly, but Capeo's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Cecilia, why...why would you tell such a lie?!"

Capoe looked utterly panicked, as if the sky had fallen. This serious demeanor made Cecilia frown in bewilderment. "What lie did I tell you? What's wrong with you?"

After saying that, Cecilia glanced cautiously at Shiloh beside her and whispered, "Master, I really have nothing to do with him, you must believe me..."

In fact, Cecilia was just worried that Shiloh would find an excuse to embarrass her if he heard about these things.

But in Capoeo's eyes, the holy and proud goddess in his heart seemed to have been defiled by this despicable guy, Shiloh, and was even willing to deny the time they had spent together in the past in order to flatter him.

This feeling of near betrayal made Capoeo tremble with rage, but as everyone knows, a sycophant would never bare his teeth at a goddess, so his resentment towards Shiloh reached a new level.

"Cecilia! I know you've been blinded by this bastard. Don't be afraid, I'll definitely take you away!"

With that, Capeo roared, and a dense holy light appeared on his body. As he turned the pages of the prayer book in his hand, the light transformed into beams of holy light that shot toward Shilo!

sieve--!

A series of whooshing sounds rang out. Facing the endless barrage of attacks, Cecilia narrowed her blue eyes, stood in front of Shilo, and casually stretched out her hand. The holy light shield that appeared blocked all the attacks.

“Aside from work handover, we have no other contact. I really don’t know what you’re fantasizing about, Capeo.”

Cecilia looked at her former colleague across from her, who was acting like a madwoman, with an icy expression on her face.

She could easily imagine how Shiloh would use this as an excuse to "punish" her with all sorts of despicable means.

If it weren't for the fact that it would be unbecoming of a lady, Cecilia would have been tempted to swear a little.

"Unauthorized...doesn't every time you look me in the eye, it's an expression of your admiration for me?!"

After Cecilia exposed his illusions, the arrogant Capeo could no longer maintain his composure and stared at her, questioning her with wide eyes.

Hearing such narcissistic words, Cecilia's face twitched, and she felt a little nauseous.

This self-delusional and convinced-of-truth behavior is even less shameless than the scoundrel Shiloh's outward shamelessness...

No, wait, what am I thinking?!

This guy is no good either!

Cecilia quickly shook her head to dispel this unusual "praise" for Shilo, but then a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around her waist, and at the same time a warm body pressed against her from behind.

Although Shiloh was about two years younger than Cecilia, he had put a lot of effort into physical training because he was unable to practice magic due to an accident.

Although she can't compare to Cecilia, who has been fighting on the front lines for many years, she is still more physically developed than her peers.

Feeling the strong arms around her waist, Cecilia blushed and tried to break free, but the slave contract prevented her from succeeding.

"I must say, this guy has quite the imagination. What do you think, Cecilia?"

Silo hugged the soft, fragrant maid, rested his chin on her shoulder, and pointed with a grin at Capeo, who was unleashing a torrent of impotent rage across from him.

Cecilia nodded in deep agreement; what Capeo said truly disgusted and made her feel nauseous.

"Hey! Mr. Capeo, let me make this clear: Cecilia has belonged to me alone from beginning to end, from the past to the present and into the future."

The possessive expression made Cecilia blush. She cursed the impure person in her heart, but on the surface, she lowered her eyelids and looked like she was shyly agreeing.

Capeo, whose attacks were easily blocked by Cecilia and who even had to watch Shilo flirt with the goddess, was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder.

Seeing the hand that was wrapped around Cecilia’s waist, and the bite marks that were faintly visible under the hair on the side of her neck, Capoeo wished he could tear Cecilia to pieces and slowly torture her to death!

"Hey hey, why won't you believe such an obvious fact? Cecilia, don't you think so?"

Shiloh turned to look at Cecilia, whose pretty face was slightly flushed, and asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Cecilia lowered her head as if shy, then her body suddenly trembled slightly. She quickly tiptoed and lifted her head to give Shilo a light kiss on the cheek.

Chapter 7 The Great Maid's Coercion

"Do not--!"

As the kiss landed, something inside Capoeo felt as if it had shattered.

Just as he knelt down with a roar to the sky, Shiloh swiftly pulled away and whipped Cecilia behind him like a whipping horse, making a crisp sound.

Snapped!

"I've chosen you, Cecilia!"

Although she was puzzled by Shiloh's words and felt somewhat ashamed and indignant at being slapped by him for no reason, Cecilia did not forget her business. Taking advantage of the moment when Capeo revealed a huge opening, she quickly closed in, summoned several light ropes to bind his limbs, and pierced his spine with her sword.

"Uh--"

Before Capeo could even groan, Shiloh slammed his mouth shut with a kick, then stomped him into the back of the head, sending him crashing into the balcony floor.

That blow was quite forceful; Capoeos's facial bones likely suffered multiple fractures, and the disfigurement and physical pain were secondary.

Most importantly, Cecilia did all of this on Shiloh's orders.

His obedient demeanor was just like that of Shiloh's beloved dog.

Stepping on Capeo, who was whimpering, Shiloh reached into his side and pulled out a storage bag, tossing it to Cecilia and saying, "Check it out and see if the 'evidence' inside is still there."

"Oh."

Cecilia wanted to question Shiloh about why he had slapped her butt earlier, but after trying to muster the courage, she couldn't muster the courage. So she lowered her head dejectedly and obediently opened her storage bag.

Upon sensing the 'Blood of the Abyss' placed in the storage bag, Cecilia's expression turned serious, and her gaze towards Capeo became even more disgusted.

“Using such things to harm people is a disgrace to the Holy Knights.”

After coldly uttering a sentence, Cecilia carefully wrapped the blood of the abyss with her divine power and handed it to Shilo.

After putting it away, Shiloh moved his foot aside, pointed at Capeo who was lying there like a dead dog, and said, "Kill him."

"Huh? Shouldn't we interrogate him first?"

Cecilia felt no sympathy for Capeo at this moment, but since he clearly knew something, was Shilo really going to kill him like this?

But when Cecilia saw the look in Shiloh’s eyes that seemed to be looking at her like she was an idiot, she suddenly realized that this guy not only knew everything about her own protection and escape plan, but also seemed to have the rescue plan of her former colleagues in the Knights and Capeo’s conspiracy.

Cecilia shuddered. This feeling of unknowingly walking into a trap deepened her fear of Shiloh.

"I understand."

After nodding, Cecilia gripped the hilt of her sword upside down and, expressionless, thrust it downwards. Capeo died silently, like a stray dog ​​on the street.

The divine light purified the blood and corpse, and soon Capeo was "melted" into this golden light.

"Heh, you know what, holy prayers are actually quite suitable for destroying evidence."

Xi Luo stroked his chin as he watched this scene and teased.

Tsk.

Cecilia rolled her eyes in exasperation and said, "This is called purification, not destroying evidence!"

Cecilia was deeply dissatisfied with Shiloh's comparison of divine power to despicable and cruel underhanded tactics.

Shiloh shrugged noncommittally, and before he could say anything, a rough report came from below.

“Young Master Xi Luo, all the intruders in the mansion have been brought under control as you instructed. They have now been thrown into the dungeon and are awaiting your judgment.”

Silo glanced discreetly at Cecilia, whose expression had become tense, and stroked his chin, muttering to himself, "Trespassing on the residence of an Imperial Viscount and attempting an attack... that's a capital offense, isn't it?"

However, after touching his chin for a while, there was no reaction from the side.

Turning his head slightly, Shilo looked at Cecilia's pursed lips and somewhat resentful blue eyes, blinked, and suddenly let out a "ho!" Then he immediately waved to the captain of the guard below, Seif, and said, "Then let's follow the imperial laws, waaaaaah—!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xi Luo's mouth was covered by a delicate, fragrant hand.

Looking at Cecilia, who was standing in front of him with a flustered expression, Shiloh narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of danger.

Sensing the unfriendly gaze, Cecilia's heart skipped a beat. She quickly withdrew her disrespectful little hand, placed it in front of her maid's dress, bit her lip, and bent over.

"Master, they meant well... could you please be lenient and help them..."

Hearing Cecilia's humble pleas, Shiloh raised an eyebrow, then suddenly chuckled: "What if there are guys like Capeo among them?"

Upon hearing this, Cecilia froze on the spot without making a sound.

She used to believe that everyone in the Holy Knights was a devout believer in the great God of Light, and that they adhered to the basic principle of being loving but ruthless in dealing with evil.

However, the appearance of Kapeo shattered some of her illusions, making her realize that even the Holy Knights might have some members who use evil items for some reason.

"I……"

Do you remember what I said before?

Shiloh patted Cecilia on the shoulder, interrupting her.

Cecilia looked up, her blue eyes filled with confusion, but considering the current situation, she quickly remembered what Shilo had told her before: that her father had been framed by people in the Holy Knights.

"You mean, Capeo is connected to those who framed my father?! Ah, right! That vial of Abyssal Blood!"

Connecting this to the matter, Cecilia's eyes sharpened as she stared at the spot where Capeo's body had vanished without a trace, regretting that her subordinates had died too soon.

Of course, Cecilia only regretted not being able to obtain more information, not that she regretted not being able to stab a few more times.

Yes, that must be it.

Back in reality, looking at Shilo who was nodding approvingly before her, Cecilia unconsciously twisted her fingers, a hint of shame and anger appearing on her face: "I'm sorry, Master. I didn't expect that they would also..."

"Hmm? They didn't use any Abyss items?"

"Eh?"

Cecilia suddenly looked up, her handsome face blank, which made Shiloh unable to resist reaching out and grabbing her chin, pinching her small mouth until it pouted.

"Or rather, I need their cooperation in the investigation to eliminate uncertainties. For your sake, I can spare their lives."

As Cecilia stared in horror, Shiloh's sinister and cunning smile blocked out all the sunlight.

"So, how should you thank your master, Cecilia?"

Chapter 8 Help Me Kill

Despite the existence of a high-level slave contract, Cecilia would be unable to resist if Shiloh forced her to engage in sexual acts.

But she is, after all, one of the main characters of the original work, the chosen one of this world.

If he were to force Cecilia to do those things and push her resistance to its extreme, Shiloh wasn't sure if any other unforeseen events might occur.

After all, the main characters all have some ridiculous overpowered abilities, such as the power of idealism.

In this world, it might mean that Cecilia, while being tricked, suddenly gains enlightenment and awakens to some new divine blessing, sweeping away the mark of the slave contract, and then turning around and stabbing Shilo to death with her sword.

It was based on this consideration that Shiloh did not eat her immediately.

However, only a pure and radiant female knight like her is worth personally leading her step by step to moral decay.

The smile on Shiloh's face deepened, causing Cecilia, whose cheek was being held, to clench her fists in tension, her little head spinning wildly as she tried to figure out what he meant.

After the two previous "misunderstandings," Cecilia also came to know Shiloh's wicked nature. She realized that he deliberately spoke in a way that was very misleading, then guided her to think in those directions, and finally made it seem as if she had impure thoughts.

'What he wants me to do now is...'

"Arrest them."

"Ok?"

"You want me to help you catch someone, right?"

Looking down at Cecilia's blue eyes, which shone with astonishing wisdom, Shiloh raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

Having received the implicit affirmation, Cecilia felt a little relieved. She lowered her eyes and recalled, saying, "The merchants who escorted the high-ranking slaves were all women. The one in charge of me was someone whose life I had saved at the border."

"Before arriving in Maple Leaf Territory, I took the opportunity to inquire about the situation here. She said that before you arrived, the senator was in charge of governing Maple Leaf Territory, and his family's influence had already penetrated into almost half of the political class in Maple Leaf Territory."

"Given your personality, you absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of behavior, right? So, you must want me to help you take down some important political leaders, replace them with your own people, and gradually gain control of the entire Maple Leaf Territory—"

Seeing Cecilia getting more and more excited, Shiloh couldn't help but raise his thumb and shut her up.

"You guessed one thing correctly: I really dislike the behavior of the councilor."

Cecilia frowned upon hearing this, glancing at the fingers pressed against her delicate lips. She felt uncomfortable all over, but under the pressure of Shiloh's power, she could only endure it and stand still.

Observing Cecilia's reaction, Shiloh chuckled inwardly.

Cecilia's acceptance is gradually expanding. Even if she's only forcing her body not to resist now, slowly, her body will become accepting, and then her mind...
