The story of the black silk female knight

Lika rested her chin on her hand:

"It sounds like you have no problem with courage and ability, but your weakness in relationships is still fragile. Are you still easily deceived by bad women?"

In that case... perhaps we should try fighting fire with fire...

"Fight fire with fire?"

Everyone else in the interrogation room was curious, even Fran, who had been quietly and obediently taking notes in the corner, perked up her ears.

"Well..."

Lika smiled meaningfully, then looked at Valensa:

"I'm planning to put her in your care. What do you think?"

"Huh?" x2

Valensa and Karen stared wide-eyed at each other, then both wore expressions of disgust.

"I have my reasons for making this arrangement."

Lika smiled:

"Let's start with Ms. Karen... well, I should call her Miss Karen now. She did indeed violate many taboos of the church, and should have been in monastic life in the church for at least ten years."

However, she was ultimately a victim of deception, and no one else was implicated, so it's reasonable to consider a lenient sentence and allow her to atone for her crime through good deeds.

"Letting her redeem herself through meritorious service is no problem... Although she's a fool who was terribly deceived by a bad woman, she's quite skilled in medicine, and we can't waste her talent."

Valensa first nodded in agreement with Lika's words, then expressed her confusion:

"But why did you entrust her to me, Lika?"

"First and foremost, her talents will be useful to you... Since you intend to inherit that position, it's necessary to start building your team now... Your position is rather special, and sometimes the church can't openly support you, you understand?"

Lika chuckled softly and continued:

"And then there's her wicked wife. If we can one day capture that reveler, Miss Karen, then she'll undoubtedly be the best person to persuade the Sin Angel to cooperate with us."

The Sinful Angel is probably the person on the continent of Frenoia who knows the most about all kinds of cults. If we can win her over to our side…”

"So, dealing with cults will be much easier in the future... Okay."

Valensa weighed the pros and cons briefly, then nodded slightly:

"I'll follow Sister Rika's arrangements."

"That's good."

Lika nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Karen, who looked unwilling:

"You really want to find your wicked wife again, and you don't want to be deceived by her again, right?"

"……certainly."

Karen gritted her teeth and nodded, then glanced at Valensa suspiciously.

"Could she help me?"

"Of course she can help you."

Lika raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"Don't let Valensa's current status as just an honorary knight fool you. She actually holds a special position in the church and will inherit a position specifically for dealing with cults in the future. Even I have to cooperate with her."

If you want to find your own wicked wife, you'll inevitably have to deal with various cults, and following Valensa is arguably the fastest way... In the future, at the very least, all intelligence on cults within the Kingdom of Fran will ultimately converge on her.

"...So she had this identity...No wonder she was so arrogant, tsk."

Karen gritted her teeth and nodded with difficulty:

“Okay, I do need information on various cults to find Mengmeng... If she really becomes the kind of person you described in the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to follow her.”

"That's not all~~"

Lika laughed again:

"Valenza may look a bit naive now, but she's already quite good at lying. She'll definitely grow into an even more outstanding bad woman in the future."

While you're pursuing her, you can also observe carefully how bad women use sweet talk to manipulate other people's feelings... That way, when you meet your wife again, you should have some resistance.

Valensa: "?"

Chapter 107 is broken; it's become a negative example.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Lika!"

Valensa quickly defended her innocence:

"She's clearly a pure and innocent girl, how could she be a bad woman!"

"……Really?"

Lika glanced at Valensa with a half-smile:

"You don't think I know nothing about what you did to Fran, do you?"

"Varied……"

Valensa immediately noticed that Fran lowered her head shyly, and Tia's gaze behind her intensified instantly.

We can't give up like this!

In a split second, Valensa's heart raced, and she quickly put on an even more aggrieved expression:

"Sister Rika, you've really misunderstood... Fran did me a huge favor, and I just gave Fran a few drops of blood as a token of my gratitude... How could that be considered a bad thing?"

"...See that?"

Lika ignored Valensa's explanation and instead looked at Karen:

"Bad women usually lie like this. They don't lie easily, but deliberately hide some details while telling the truth... This method is much more sophisticated than simply lying."

Valensa: "QAQ... Lika, you're bullying me... Tia, let me explain! I really didn't do anything to Fran... It's normal for girls to kiss each other when they're expressing gratitude, right?"

Is this normal?

Tia raised an eyebrow:

"Then I'll go back and give a kiss to the people who helped me to express my gratitude. What do you think?"

"Please don't do that... Ugh, it was my fault."

Valensa surrendered immediately.

"Did you see that?"

Lika then took the opportunity to explain to Karen again:

"Although bad women are cunning, they are not without weaknesses... Little Tia, for example, took advantage of Valensa's strong possessiveness and completely controlled her."

Moreover, relationships are a two-way street. Many bad women get too caught up in their deceptions and end up getting themselves into trouble too.

Since that guy, the Sinful Angel, was able to be your wife peacefully for five years and didn't cause any trouble until his identity was exposed... it doesn't necessarily mean he had no feelings for you. You still have a chance.

But you must never let her deceive you like before. You must see her true colors and keep a close eye on your wife, understand?

"Understood, thank you, Holy Knight. You are truly a wise lady."

Karen finally fell in love with Lika.

"It's nothing~~"

Lika waved her hand modestly and smiled:

"Actually, I'm not that smart at all, I've just lived long enough and seen enough... You will all be more outstanding than me in the future."

Thus, Karen's fate was sealed... She would now serve under Valensa, using her talents to atone for her sins and offset the punishment she deserved for violating taboos.

Once the general direction is set, the next step is to discuss some details.

"First, you need to change your name."

Valensa proposed:

"Because Dr. Karen has died a heroic death, and the academy will hold a funeral for her in a few days, it just feels strange for you to use the name Karen anymore."

"You're the one who killed me!"

Karen glared at Valensa, then hesitated for a moment:

"I'll change my name then... Now that I'm a woman, it's really inappropriate to use a man's name, and it's not quite right to use my wife's old name either, emmm... how about you call me Lily of the Valley?"

"Lily of the valley?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow:

"Is it that small white flower also known as the valley lily?"

"Yes."

Karen nodded:

"This was also her favorite flower... The place where she agreed to my proposal was next to a field of blooming lilies of the valley... From now on, just call me Lily of the Valley, since Karen has already been killed by you."

"No, no, no... Dr. Karen died a heroic death in the battle against the cultists, it has nothing to do with me, this righteous paladin~~"

Valensa smiled slyly before extending her hand:

"Then please take care of me from now on, Miss Lily of the Valley."

"...Please give me your guidance."

Lily of the Valley's expression was complicated, but she still reached out and gently shook hands with Valensa.

"Congratulations on your new life, Miss Lily of the Valley."

Rika also offered her blessings to Lily of the Valley, and then pondered for a moment:

"Now that we have a new name, the next step is naturally a new identity."

Normally, this new identity is arranged by the church... However, I suggest that Lily of the Valley, your new identity shouldn't be openly related to the church, as this will make your future actions easier.

"Shouldn't we rely on the church to arrange a new identity?"

Valensa frowned and looked at Tia with pleading eyes.

"It wouldn't be difficult for me to arrange for her to be a member of our Britannia family, but I would advise against it."

Tia hesitated for a moment:

"After all, it's common knowledge that we have a close relationship, and the maids who serve me have remained unchanged for many years... If a new maid suddenly appears, she will also be noticed by those who are interested."

"What...what should we do?"

Valensa asked back with a wry smile.

The two major forces she can rely on right now are the Church of the Sun and the Bretania family. If it's not easy to arrange things for Suzuran with either of them... Surely she shouldn't have to ask the Baldr family, with whom she has almost severed ties?

"Perhaps... we could try asking the Nora Merchant Guild for help?"

Tia thought for a moment and suggested:

"The Nora Chamber of Commerce owns quite a few welfare institutions and has adopted many children who became orphans due to war or natural disasters. Forging an identity should be easy for them."

Most importantly, the Nora Chamber of Commerce has a large number of members and is a neutral business organization. It's a mixed bag of people, so having one more Lily of the Valley won't make a difference at all...

"Didn't you previously have business dealings with the Nora Chamber of Commerce? They're always quite generous to business partners who can bring them sustained profits; they shouldn't refuse you for something as small as this."

"That's indeed a good idea."

Lika also expressed her approval of Tia's plan.

"Hmm... Since Tia and Sister Rika both approve of this method, I'll visit the Nora Trading Company in the capital on my next day off."

Valensa nodded, then asked:

"What about before that? What will happen to Linglan? Will she stay at the church temporarily?"

"no need."

Lily of the Valley waved her hand dismissively:

“I bought a studio apartment in the capital before I got married, and I haven’t sold it since… The academy doesn’t know I own this property, so I can stay there for now.”

"can."
