The Villain Saint is my secondary account

“Your Highness Edgar’s swordsmanship is also very strong, and the Saintess’s strength is unfathomable, but I choose to believe in you only because of your conviction.”

"belief……?"

"Legends are celebrated not because they never fall, but because they always get back up after they fall."

“Your Highness, I am not a very eloquent person, and I may not be able to help you much, but I am willing to shout for you every time you fall.”

"Because I know that I will definitely see you rise again."

"This is the faith I follow in your life, which transcends swordsmanship or background, and belongs to your unique soul."

"I...I didn't..." Skadi gripped the blanket with both hands, her face slightly flushed.

However, Ye Xiao, who was focused on crafting her lines, didn't notice the other person's expression and was still racking her brains to organize her thoughts.

"I know I'm not from the same world as you, and as an ordinary student, what I'm saying isn't much of a comforting word."

"No, that's not what I meant..."

"But your bloodline also recognizes you. The moment the flames of the red dragon ignited on your body, I knew that my faith was correct."

"Your Highness, I believe that one day you will lead us to a great future."

"My long-cherished wish is to become an ordinary follower in the future you are leading."

After a powerful and inspiring speech, Ye Xiao turned around and looked at Skadi.

Wait... there's something strange about this guy's appearance.

Ye Xiao thought the other party would be stubborn and disdainful, but her eyes, which had already brightened, were slightly ignited with fighting spirit. She then said to him, "Nonsense, do you need to tell me? This princess is a genius." and urged him to leave quickly.

As a result, this guy gripped the edge of the blanket tightly with both hands, his face flushed and his eyes brimming with tears, his lips slightly pursed as if he was forcibly enduring something.

What's going on? Was what I said so awkward that I couldn't bear to listen anymore? I was actually feeling pretty good about myself.

Ye Xiao felt somewhat helpless; it was normal that reality never unfolded as one imagined.

Well, at least now we can finally leave.

"Your Highness, that's all I wanted to say. I won't bother you any longer, so I'll take my leave now."

“Wait… Pi…” Skadi’s voice was very soft, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet room, “Mr. Piandel.”

Piandre…who is that? Are there other people in this room?

Ye Xiao looked around in surprise until she saw the name tag hanging on her chest.

Grass, it turns out, is the owner of this garment.

"What is it, Your Highness?"

"...Could you tell me your full name?"

Full name... I don't even know this guy's name...

“I…Vosha,” Ye Xiao’s gaze shifted, “Vosha Piandel.”

“Your Highness, I am just a nobody. There are many people like me who follow you. You don’t need to pay too much attention to me.”

"Um……"

"Well... goodbye, Your Highness!"

The conversation ended in an eerie atmosphere, and Ye Xiao fled the ward as if escaping.

It was truly like sitting on pins and needles.

As soon as the door opened, a group of princess-affiliated students pulled Ye Xiao into the crowd and cheered.

"That's amazing, brother! Thanks to you, Her Highness the Princess has pulled herself together!"

"The brothers have paved the way, now we can go in!"

"Damn it, you guys have been eavesdropping on the door the whole time, haven't you??" Ye Xiao was speechless.

Watching this group of guys swarm into the ward, showering Skadi with gifts and boasting to her on the bed, Ye Xiao understood perfectly well that these guys were afraid of saying the wrong thing and incurring bad luck by being demoted by the eldest princess.

Now that the eldest princess seems to have recovered her mood, she naturally wants to seize the opportunity to go in and show herself.

"Okay, okay... Ugh, so noisy, all of you get out of here!!!" Then, Ye Xiao heard Skadi's roar coming from inside the room.

He shrugged with a wry smile and quickly ran off alone down the corridor.

Chapter 95 Freya Wants to Become an Adventurer

Ye Xiao first went to the college's public laundry room to change that unlucky guy's college uniform, and then fled the college.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Greta, a petite woman, frowning under a tree, arms crossed, stomping one foot on the ground.

"What's wrong with you? You look like a brat who got lost and is blaming his parents for being blind." Ye Xiao couldn't help but find the little maid's appearance somewhat amusing.

"You're the child!" Greta saw Ye Xiao and angrily rushed up to grab his hand and bite it.

"What are you doing?!" Ye Xiao was stunned by the teeth marks on her hand.

"I've only been away from you for a moment, and you're already flirting with other women!"

"What nonsense is this?" Ye Xiao was completely bewildered. He had only gone to the academy, but they were talking about him as if he had gone to a nightclub.

"Still trying to deny it! I saw it all!"

"Huh? Goodness, when did you get to the academy too?" Listening to the other person's nonsense, Ye Xiao roughly understood, "You weren't referring to Skadi just now, were you...?"

"You're calling me by my name now!?" Greta waved her fist, pouncing on Ye Xiao like a kitten with its claws outstretched.

Holy crap, this demon god is starting to seem more and more like an unreasonable little brat.

Ye Xiao, his scalp tingling, could only run desperately through the street, but he was no match for Greta. He was quickly caught and ended up with a cut on his shoulder.

"Didn't you say you had something to do this morning? How come you finished so quickly and came over to spy on me?" Ye Xiao had no choice but to press down on the restless pink-haired head with one hand.

"What do you mean by peeping!" the maid stamped her foot. "You were carrying a big flag there, and everyone could see you. Why would you need to peep?"

"...Isn't it too early to start looking at it from there?"

"There is indeed something fishy!"

"Wait, let me explain. It's because... no, why should I explain to you?" Ye Xiao was completely confused, but Greta had already launched her attack regardless.

The two would often cause a ruckus, dragging each other from the college gate to Anstan Street in the southern part of the city.

Li Cheng and the other members of the Seven Stars Society were doing a mission nearby. Ye Xiao finished his own business and came over to lend a hand.

Passing through the market area, Ye Xiao saw that although the underground arena had closed down, the business of the Paradise Pavilion did not seem to have been greatly affected.

Even in broad daylight, many adventurers still come and go under the pink sign, their arms around the swaying dancers, and wisps of pink mist rise from the opening and closing of the shop doors.

Whether it was a trick of the mind or not, Ye Xiao vaguely saw a somewhat familiar figure wearing a dark blue cloak walk out of the door.

"Ugh, men just can't control their eyes!" the maid complained, then reached out to pinch Ye Xiao's waist.

"Ouch! No, it's just that person looks kind of familiar." Ye Xiao winced and rubbed her waist. "Seriously, why are you even interfering with where I look now?!"

"Familiar with what? Is it your usual top-rated hostess?"

"Don't slander my innocence out of thin air." Ye Xiao pinched the little maid's soft cheek in annoyance. "You should know that person too."

Gradia pouted and followed Ye Xiao's gaze, then raised her eyebrows slightly, "Huh?"

The cloaked figure was walking briskly when he suddenly noticed Ye Xiao and Greta's gaze not far away on the street. He stopped in his tracks. "Ah, Mr. Ye...?"

"Haha, it really is you. It's been a few days, Miss Freya." Ye Xiao smiled, then his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the Paradise House.

Actually, he was a little conflicted about whether or not to say hello.

It's true that it's normal for people to develop hobbies when they're under a lot of pressure.

But Freya was the type who was extremely proud, and Ye Xiao was afraid that if he greeted her like this, she would avoid him from the future.

However, Freya wasn't as shy as one might expect. She walked up, her face under the hood showing a hint of joy at seeing an acquaintance. "Good afternoon, Mr. Ye. Good afternoon, Miss Greta."

Ye Xiao was somewhat relieved to see that Freya had not succumbed to the past events.

The haughty little maid simply nodded, but Freya wasn't annoyed; she understood that her nod was already a sign of friendliness.

"How have you been lately? How's it going at the Holy Temple?" Ye Xiao asked.

"I'm alright," Freya said softly, walking beside Ye Xiao. "However, I've left the Sanctuary."

"Leaving..." Although Ye Xiao knew about this, he still had to feign surprise. "You've left the Holy Temple?"

"Huh? Even with your affinity for Holy Light, you've left the sanctuary?" The little maid was genuinely surprised. "Has the current bishop gone mad? He's letting you go?"

"It's not that exaggerated," Freya said with a wry smile. "What are Mr. Ye's plans for next?"

"Well, I think I'll be heading to Storm Harbor the day after tomorrow. There are some things I need to take care of," Ye Xiao pondered.

"Storm Harbor...you're leaving Loren!?" Freya suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh, no, it's just going to that city, we're not going out to sea." Ye Xiao looked at Freya with some confusion, "Why are you so surprised?"

"Ah, no... it's just..." Freya's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed. Then, after a pause, she spoke again, "Mr. Ye, you are an adventurer, right?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Freya stopped, took a deep breath, and looked into Ye Xiao's bewildered eyes. "Mr. Ye, do you... do you need anyone for your adventure team? I'd like to join."

"Oh no! We don't need any more people!" The little maid standing nearby immediately panicked.

Ye Xiao tapped the little maid on the head, then pondered carefully.

Although he didn't know why Freya suddenly wanted to join him, it wasn't actually a bad thing... On the contrary, with Freya's strength, she was a super powerful asset.

At least she's much more useful than that awful little maid who likes to sit in the audience and watch the show.

Putting everything else aside, after using the Grandmaster's Draw Sword to deplete his stamina, Freya can use a Healing Light to fully restore his stamina, which is incredibly satisfying.

“I do welcome it, but…” Ye Xiao wrestled with Greta with one hand while saying softly, “Miss Freya, are you really prepared? The life of an adventurer is very different from the life of luxury and ease of the high-ranking members of the Holy Temple. There are many times when you have to face danger and harsh environments.”

“I’ve made up my mind, Mr. Ye.” Freya’s expression was firm. “I am confident that I can face all difficulties.”

"Really? Then try not showering for three days."

"Eh!? This...this is too much..." Freya's face immediately turned slightly red.

"Ah! You haven't bathed in three days!" The little maid pinched her nose and ran away. "Oh no, you'll catch bedbugs!"

"You two, you can't even go without showering and you call yourselves adventurers!" Ye Xiao waved his fist in annoyance. "Hey, I'd definitely shower in the city! Why did you two go so far, hey!?"

Chapter Ninety-Six: The Full Moon Priest

A day passed after the duel ended, but Ella still hadn't received the royal invitation to the dungeon.

The other party seems to be treating the matter as if it doesn't exist, or perhaps they are still figuring out how to respond.

But of course, Ella wouldn't go so far as to urge the other side, "Why haven't you arrested me and put me in jail yet?" That would be too obviously ulterior.

Since she had some free time and the other party wasn't going to arrest her, she decided to prepare for her trip to Storm Harbor.

The affairs of the Sanctuary have always been handled by the current Archbishop of Holmes, and Ella doesn't really understand them, so there's nothing for her to do. What she's mainly concerned about is whether the royal family will do anything to the Sanctuary after she goes to Stormport.

Ella had discussed the issue of the officials to be stationed with the elders. Of course, she did not explicitly say that she wanted to brainwash the unfortunate people sent by the other side, but rather subtly expressed that she had a way to deal with the matter.

However, the Loren Sanctuary is, after all, an autonomous religious district that has coexisted since the founding of the Loren Empire, and both Archbishop Holmes and the other elders still have some resistance to this matter.

However, Ella wasn't in a hurry. It would be best to delay until she returned from Stormport before determining the direction of this matter.

Afterwards, she went deep into the tower's dungeon to visit the inhuman former archbishop and high priest, Evans.

Evans's graying beard had grown longer and longer because it hadn't been trimmed, making him look like a bloated old lion huddled in the corner of his cell.

Upon seeing Ella arrive in her white dress, Evans' lifeless eyes, which were set in their sockets, finally moved slightly.

“Lord Evans, if possible, I would like you to tell me the whole story honestly.” The girl’s light voice echoed in the empty dungeon. “I don’t even understand the point of you persisting until now.”

"what……"

However, Ella responded with only a string of meaningless syllables, it was unclear whether it was her murmur or a sigh.

Well, this guy's mental state is probably not quite right anymore.

"Do you remember this item, Lord Evans?" Ella took out a wooden statue from her bosom.

The statue depicts a faceless man dressed in a shepherd's robe, covered in strange cracks; it is none other than the statue that Evans had been carrying during the Temple Square incident.
