The story of the black silk female knight

"...What's wrong? What have you found out, Paladin? Please tell me!"

Karen pleaded hastily, even using her innate "beautiful girl" talent skill without any instruction, making her look incredibly charming.

"...I can tell you, too."

Lika put down the small golden stick, her expression quite complicated:

"But you need to be mentally prepared... I'm worried that you might not be able to cope after you find out the truth."

"...Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

Karen gritted her teeth:

"Even if I'm going to die, I want to die knowing why."

"You... well, okay."

Lika sighed helplessly:

"According to the information I found... your wife is not actually dead; she just escaped after her identity was exposed."

The paladins in charge of this matter did so out of good intentions, not wanting you to be implicated, which is why they kept your wife's situation confidential and concealed the truth from you.

Chapter 105 The consequence of a man's infatuation is that he will be cruelly deceived by a bad woman.

"What? Mengmeng isn't dead yet?"

Karen gasped in surprise, her pupils shrinking.

But after a few seconds, she frowned slightly again:

"That's not right... If Mengmeng were still alive, my magic circle should have prioritized calling her soul into this body... Why did it lock onto me so quickly?"

"...because you have no idea what your wife is really like."

Lika sighed again:

"According to what you said before... she married you when she was 17 and the incident happened when she was 22, right? In the five years of your marriage, did you ever visit her hometown village?"

"This...no."

Karen seemed to have realized something, and her face turned pale:

“I did offer to accompany her back to her hometown to visit relatives a few times, but she declined with various excuses each time.”

"Of course she had to decline, because that wasn't her home at all."

Lika continued:

“Our church’s paladins later went there to investigate… The place your wife mentioned is her hometown village, which was destroyed by a plague a long time ago due to the machinations of cultists.”

The real Miss Nophi died at the age of 11 when the village was destroyed... The woman who fell in love with you and married you afterward, posing as Miss Nophi, was actually another woman.

"...Could it really be like this?"

Karen immediately covered her face, her shoulders trembling slightly, and tears streamed through her fingers.

Although Valensa and the others who were listening in were also curious about the truth that would follow, they sympathized with Karen more, so none of them said anything to urge her on, and patiently waited for Karen to adjust her mindset on her own.

As an elite military medic who had ventured into the desolate wilderness multiple times, Karen possessed remarkable composure. She sobbed for less than three minutes before wiping away her tears, her swollen eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

“Tell me her true identity, Paladin… I can bear it.”

"Ok."

Rika nodded, pondered for a moment, and continued:

"We don't know her real name or appearance, we only know that her code name is Sin Angel, she is a very vicious reveler, and she has always been on our paladin's wanted list."

"Revelers?"

Karen clearly understood what this identity meant... the most cunning, insane, and dangerous criminal on the continent of Frenoia.

While some of them, like the Phantom Thief Red Fox Mask, were relatively harmless, most of the revelers brought bloodshed and carnage wherever they went.

"She was a reveler..."

Even though she was mentally prepared, Karen's voice still trembled:

"The Sinful Angel... I don't recall ever hearing anything about her?"

"Because all the incidents she orchestrated were related to cults, most of the information was blocked, so it's normal that you haven't heard of this name... but we are very familiar with this name."

Lika shrugged and said:

"You've probably heard a lot about what kind of people revelers are... Those guys are highly skilled and audacious criminals. More importantly, they do things entirely out of personal interest, so you can't judge them using conventional profit-driven thinking... Many times, what they do is harmful to others and themselves."

The Sin Angel is no exception... She is a religious extremist who is interested in all cults and will provide free assistance to all cult activities, just like an angel sent by God.

Of course, the vast majority of cult activities are accompanied by evil, and the angels who provide assistance to these evil activities without compensation are the angels of sin.

"...She's been supporting cults for free?"

Karen couldn't help but gape, looking utterly bewildered.

"Why?"

"...If her motives could be figured out, she wouldn't be a reveler."

Lika remained silent for a few seconds before offering a slight, bitter smile:

"We'd also like to know why she did that... but the reason revelers are called revelers is because their behavior is completely inexplicable by common sense and can only be attributed to personal interest."

In fact, the name "Angel of Sin" is very famous among cultists, and many cults are eager to get her help or actively seek her assistance.

Even when a few more xenophobic cults rejected her, she would often secretly support them, aiding their fanatical activities.

"This……"

Karen seemed to have suffered a great shock, and for a moment she was in a daze, her eyes glazed over.

Several more minutes passed before she suddenly shook her head and gasped for breath.

"Anything else? Since Mengmeng is a party animal... then why did she marry me? And what was it that ultimately exposed her?"

"Well... I didn't find a correct answer in the information I consulted. There were only some personal speculations from the paladin who was in charge of this matter at the time."

Lika sighed:

"The Sin Angel's greatest skill is disguising her identity to gather intelligence... Our Sun Church has dealt with her more than a dozen times so far, and she uses a different name and appearance each time."

She might marry you simply to use your status as her wife to operate in the capital and gather intelligence on important figures.

The reason her identity was eventually exposed was because the paladins discovered her during a large-scale investigation after something happened to a high-ranking figure in our church.

Three years ago? The big shot who got into trouble at the church?

Valensa, who was listening in, immediately felt a jolt. Recalling Rika's earlier look, it was quite obvious who this important church figure who had gotten into trouble was.

Was Karen's wife also involved in her parents' affairs? It's even quite possible that she was colluding with the cult to trigger that incident?

Thinking of this, Valensa became somewhat unsettled, clenching her fists tightly and her lips trembling slightly.

Fortunately, Tia noticed something was wrong in time and quickly took Valensa's hand to comfort her silently.

Lika also turned her gaze over, smiling as she helped Valensa fix her hair:

"Calm down... If I'm not mistaken, the Sinful Angel shouldn't have anything to do with your parents, or at least not much to do with them."

"...Why do you say that, Lika?" Valensa asked, biting her lip.

"...It might be a little embarrassing for me to say this, but it's the truth..."

Lika shrugged:

"If the Sinful Angel is truly directly involved in your parents' incident, then with my limited access, I wouldn't be able to access her records from three years ago."

However, it was only after the incident at your house, during our church's city-wide search, that the paladin discovered her true identity.

This matter is actually related to you?

Hearing that even his wife's exposure could be linked to Valensa, Karen's gaze towards Valensa became even more complicated.

"What are you looking at? You're angry with me? I'm angry with you!"

Valensa, noticing Karen's gaze, glared back without hesitation:

"You're the one who got completely fooled by that bad woman, and you still have the nerve to call me an idiot? I think you're the biggest idiot, humph!"

Chapter 106 She Will Become an Even Better Bad Woman

"!"

You're the idiot!

Karen was already in a bad mood after learning that she had been deceived by her beloved wife, and Valensa's mockery only made her feel worse, so she didn't hesitate to retaliate.

Valensa was also annoyed by the topic of her parents being brought up, and she started arguing with Karen across the interrogation table.

"Alright, shut up, all of you!"

Seeing that both of them were getting increasingly angry, Lika stopped them in time, and gave Valensa a light tap on the head in annoyance:

"I really don't know what you two have to argue about... You're both victims, shouldn't you be working together instead?"

"Mmm~~"

Valensa shrank back pitifully, then nestled into Tia's arms and said to Rika in a coquettish tone:

"It's really not my fault. She was the one who kept calling me an idiot."

"Aren't you stupid?"

Karen said irritably:

"The reason I've become like this and can't go back is largely my own fault, but the other half is because you're both stupid and impulsive!"

"Isn't it good that you've become like this?"

Valensa snorted:

"Isn't this what your beloved looks like? Now she belongs entirely to you, cry tears of joy!"

"would not……"

"I told you both to shut up!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Lika couldn't stand it anymore and smacked Valensa on the head again. At the same time, she used holy light to seal Karen's mouth, silencing her.

What followed was naturally a stern lecture.

Only after Valensa and Karen nodded obediently, indicating they wouldn't argue anymore, did Lika remove the seal from Karen's mouth and ask her:

If you could regain your freedom, what would you do next?

"...Is that even a question?"

Karen was silent for a few seconds before gritting her teeth and saying:

"Of course I'll find the woman who deceived me and ask her why she did all this!"

"And then get scammed by a bad woman again, or even be cruelly manipulated by her?"

Valensa couldn't help but sneer again, and when Rika glared at her, she quickly covered her mouth and hid in Tia's arms.

Lika rolled her eyes in annoyance, too lazy to argue with Valensa, and looked at Karen instead:

"Valenza's words may be harsh, but they are not without reason... You are so infatuated with her, how can you guarantee that you won't be deceived by her again and go astray?"

Furthermore, hunting down the Sin Angel means constantly dealing with various cults... That's extremely dangerous; a single misstep could cost you your life. Are you... prepared for that?"

"Danger? Me, afraid of danger?"

Karen snorted dismissively:

"Have you forgotten, Paladin? I have ventured into the Wasteland many times before... I am not afraid of even the savage and cruel beasts, so why would I be afraid of those idiots brainwashed by cults?"

"As for Mengmeng..."

When his beloved wife was mentioned, Karen's expression became complicated again, and she hesitated for a long time before saying:

"I still really like her... even knowing she's a bad woman, that's why I need to find her and get to the bottom of this!"

"emmm..."
