Episode 264: This Castle Is Now Mine (3)

The words spoken by the woman who revealed herself as the Saintess were truly shocking.

The Baron had collapsed due to illness. He had been cursed after lending his strength to protect the Saintess from the schemes of wicked angels.

“The angels initially promised to lend us their power. They claimed they had descended to cleanse the rampant division and evil in the human world! But it was all a lie! The angels soon revealed their true nature!”

An appeal of injustice. An explosion of anger.

“They were nothing but demons disguised as angels! Once they had established themselves, they suddenly attacked the Great Cathedral of the Goddess Church, slaughtering countless nuns!”

When the Saintess, standing on the platform, shouted, it was as if lightning had struck. Those angels, who once appeared so holy, were actually demons? Such suspicion began to creep into the minds of the people.

“So I led the Royal Guard in a retreat! Of course, the angels pursued us… As a result, every member of the Guard perished!”

Tears streamed down the Saintess’s face.

“Their goal is to kill me. To brand me as a witch and kill me, then take over the Goddess Church to expand their power and dominate the human world! They are not angels, but demons!”

The people were shocked by the continued outcry.

“Ohhh…!”

“That, that can’t be!”

“Demons disguised as angels!”

The beautiful Saintess standing above was pouring out her anger and sorrow. Her plea resonated deeply within the hearts of the people. Yet, there were still doubts. Could the Saintess’s words really be true?

“Of course, it’s hard to believe now. That those angels were actually demons. But the nuns who died in the Goddess Church thought the same. So, I will show you the proof!”

Proof!

At the mention of proof, the people gathered in the square trembled. Could it really be that the angels were demons?

“The angels here will prove it! Come forth! Angels!”

At that moment.

ㅡFlash!

Angels with brilliant halos above their heads and pure white wings emerged from the carriage and ascended the platform.

“It’s a real angel…!”

“The one we saw before!”

“Could it be…!”

One of the angels on the platform revealed her name. She was called Lilriel. All eyes focused on Lilriel.

Lilriel spoke.

“Everything the Saintess says is true!”

ㅡGasp! ㅡGasp! ㅡOh…!

The people of the territory gasped in unison.

“The Great Cathedral. The name of the angelic horde occupying the Goddess Church is the Great Cathedral. The Great Cathedral… is a radical and violent group that invaded the human world to dominate humanity!”

A shocking truth.

“Dominate humanity!”

“Angels ruling over humans…?”

The angels descended to rule over humans. For most people, this made no difference; they were already living under the rule of lords or kings.

“The Great Cathedral considers humans as mere livestock! They think of us as eternal slaves to serve them! If the Great Cathedral reigns, humans will starve more than ever! Literally, everyone will fall into slavery…!”

Everyone gathered in the square covered their mouths as they listened to the shocking story.

ㅡGasp!

The truth was so shocking that it was hard to accept. Even though it was the Saintess speaking, it was an angel saying it directly. The likelihood of it being a lie was extremely low.

“We were originally angels sent to hunt down the Saintess of the Goddess Church! With the Saintess around, the Goddess Church could be revived and stand against the angels! So the Great Cathedral sought to brand the Saintess as a witch and kill her!”

ㅡScreaaaam!

Someone let out a scream. It was a terrible situation. What was the Goddess Church? It was a universal faith that most people believed in the Goddess.

“But the five angels here! We know that it’s wrong! That’s why we are here now! To reveal the truth! That’s why we’ve joined forces with the Saintess!”

Lilriel finished speaking.

The Saintess stepped forward again.

“Now… the Baron was gravely injured while trying to help me. I say this to all of you here. Everyone! Beware of the angels! While Lilriel here has turned against the angels after realizing their wickedness, the other angels still see humans as mere slaves! Lend your strength to this Saintess!”

ㅡWaaaah! ㅡOoooh! ㅡScreeeeaaaam!

The heat of the moment surged.

The charismatic speeches of the Saintess and the angel were powerfully persuasive.

Demons disguised as angels were pretending to be angels while trying to dominate the human world and enslave humans. Most of the people gathered in the square remembered that fact.

Rumors were already widespread that a war between the angels and the nobility was brewing in the central region. Such facts lent credibility to the Saintess’s words.

ㅡBuzzzz!

And just then.

“Gasp! Baby angels!”

“Baby angels…? Ah, a baby?”

“They don’t look like babies!”

Small, cute angels flew up and shouted.

“Everyone! Lend us your strength!”

“Angels shouldn’t rule over humans!”

“They’re bad!”

The small angels, dressed in white and adorned with golden ornaments, were pleading for help with their pure voices. It was only natural to want to help.

But they didn’t know how.

“Ha ha ha! Well done! Truly well done! The Saintess, Lilriel, and Serinu all did great! Wow! This is perfection!”

The Saintess’s speech was flawlessly concluded!

Most of the people gathered in the square erupted in anger towards the angels and expressed sympathy for the Goddess Church. The massacre of nuns was a shocking fact, and the revelation that the angels had come to enslave humans sparked fear.

Fear and anger.

Those two intense emotions were stirred. The Saintess exuded her charisma, drawing out those emotions.

“Now you see what it means to be a Saintess, don’t you? If you can’t deliver a speech like this, you can’t be a Saintess of the Goddess Church.”

“Of course! It was truly magnificent! Wow!”

A Saintess with such beauty and an overwhelming aura, bringing an actual angel to make an appeal—if people aren’t convinced, they must be modern skeptics.

“In that case, as a reward…”

“Yes! Come to my chamber tonight!”

At those words, the Saintess smiled brightly. A reward was necessary.

“No! Wait! Didn’t I contribute too?”

“What? I worked hard too, but you’re only praising the Saintess!”

Lilriel and Serinu also started protesting.

“I want to sleep together too!”

“Me, me too…!”

This was something else.

“Alright, alright. Of course, you’ll get your rewards. Don’t worry.”

“Yahoo!”

Anyway.

With this, the Saintess’s faction has secured the legitimacy to occupy the Baron’s castle. From now on, they can naturally work together with the people of this barony.

“And…”

The fact that a Saintess who was calling for the defeat of angels had settled in this barony will spread far and wide.

People who heard the news would naturally gather here. In other words, talent would start pouring in.

Not only the nuns from the Goddess Church, but also the young ladies from noble families that the Saintess mentioned last time. I could recruit them all to serve under me.

“He who controls women, controls the world.”

It’s possible.

“Hey! Stop grinning and start drafting the manual already!”

While I was envisioning such a rosy future, Sister Reika, with dark circles under her eyes, shouted at me. That pretty nun had overworked herself to the point where her eyes had turned dark.

I couldn’t slack off while my subordinates were working so hard.

“Oh, yes… I should do that.”

But it would take a few months for the talent to arrive.

Until then, I guess I would have to do everything?

Aaaaaaah!

After transferring duties, drafting manuals, and handling document formats, everything started to come together. I thought I was going to die from suffocation, seriously. I was more like a low-level bureaucrat than a demon king.

Anyway.

I also recovered the Baron’s hidden wealth and focused on maintaining the castle by renewing existing contracts.

By the way, Sister Liza was put in charge of the supplies. She’d handle everything from purchasing food contracts from the guild to quality inspections.

And I had selected goblin recruits as cooks and taught them how to prepare meals.

“My Lord. The nunnery has requested an audience.”

Ruby was handling external activities. Until new talent arrived, Ruby would be responsible for communicating with outsiders.

But what?

“An audience from the nunnery?”

“Yes. A person named Sister Angelica. She insists on speaking with the Saintess.”

“Angelica.”

She was definitely the abbess of the nunnery where Reika, Irene, and Liza were. I was planning to summon her soon to defile her, but she requested an audience first?

“Isn’t this a good opportunity? Let her in, and then you can do as you wish.”

“That’s right. It’s impressive that talent is already rolling in.”

After meeting and chatting with her, I could put her to sleep and drag her to the training room.

“Hold on! My Lord!”

At that moment, Irene shouted.

“Yes?”

“You shameless fiend! Are you really planning to extend your vile and lecherous claws to Sister Angelica and the other nuns too?”

By now, she should be getting used to it.

“You’re planning to seduce innocent women who know nothing, then spend the entire night having obscene and perverted sex with them, turning them into submissive sex slaves and making them your subordinates…!”

“Irene… you know this by now, don’t you?”

“I can’t hand over the abbess! I can’t bear to see her being violated…!”

“In that case, I’ll double your workload, Irene.”

“What?! What do you mean?!”

“The nuns joining our Demon Lord’s castle means we can distribute the administrative tasks. If fewer nuns join, your burden increases.”

It was a simple fact.

“That’s too much! Such a threat!”

“It’s unavoidable. But Irene, haven’t you enjoyed your time here?”

“I only enjoyed it in bed! The rest…!”

“The rest what?”

“Uh?”

Irene looked momentarily puzzled.

“Ah. Come to think of it, I did enjoy things other than the sex.”

“Then just go along with it. Even if it starts forcibly, everyone ends up enjoying it soon enough.”

“Ugh…!”

In the end, Irene gave in.

“Alright. Ruby, grant the nuns permission to visit. Tell them to come together tomorrow morning.”

“Yes, I will.”

If all the nuns joined us, our administrators’ workload would significantly decrease.
