witch

This is the name given to Princess Lucia before her return as a frame-up for colluding with demons. As a result, he suffered, and was locked in a lightless prison, unable to come out until he died. Although her death was due to an attack by the Demon King’s army, the fundamental cause was, of course, the Emperor’s faction.

“Everyone! 1 This is proof that the princess, Asabel Sylv, has colluded with the demons!”

Along with the sacred object, a strong energy comes out from Asabel. Really, it’s a perfect show.

“Daron… … .”

Lucia, who was watching, made a sad expression. Asabel is her older sister. Although the two did not get along very well, their relationship was not one of fighting like their relationship with Yuleaf. We are of the same bloodline… … Even though Lucia is not the one suffering now, she knows the pain because she has already experienced it.

“Her Highness the Princess really… … ”

“This can’t be right!”

“Demon, demon.”

This is not the time to question how they managed to avoid me and Ray’s eyes and plant such a device on Asabel. The damn Saint of Death and the Second Prince joined hands, and because of that, Asabel is on the verge of being accused of being a witch. In this case, the atmosphere should not be completely tilted.

first of all.

Calm down Asabel first. He approached Asabel sternly but quickly and struck the back of her neck.

“Evil?!”

Oh, I hit it wrong. Exactly that point!

Sigh!

I finally lost consciousness and collapsed. However, the demonic energy emanating from Asabel still remains. I took a deep breath and shouted at 2nd Prince Yuleef.

“Prince! You are the one who colluded with the demons!”

“Ha, what?”

“Princess Asabel must have made it look like she made a contract with the demons.”

Anyone who sees it will see that Asabel has joined hands with the demons in this situation. So my protest may seem like a fuss. However, the hero’s remarks were heavy.

“Even the saint and I didn’t know that Princess Asabel’s family was connected to the demons. But suddenly, the prince, who had no idea about this kind of thing, suddenly revealed that Her Royal Highness was in collusion with demons. I only see it as your play.”

I said that and was somewhat logical.

“Charlotte. Have you ever felt any trace of a demon from Her Highness?”

“Not really.”

Another warrior, Charlotte, had also been invited as a guest, so when something was wrong with Asabel, she immediately rushed here. Charlotte very easily told me what I wanted to hear.

Saint Ray. And two warriors. The nobles are confused again by the conclusion the three of us reached. From what I could see, it was clear that Princess Asabel was a witch, but logically speaking, my words were credible enough.

“Count Dran. After all, you are also from the demon tribe.”

“What?”

But this little prince has so much confidence that he even bets on me and falls.

“Goddess of Death. You said she was the goddess who appointed Count Dran as a warrior, right?”

“Right?”

Why did that bitch come out all of a sudden?

“Not long ago, I obtained intelligence. In the first place, death is a power that can devour even demons.”

“… … What?”

“You plan to instigate a war between humans and demons and cause great chaos on this continent!”

bang!!!!!!!!

“Kwaaak!!!!!”

A sudden roar comes from beyond. Black light energy. A woman with black hair walks out of the mist, created with the same energy as me.

“Hero. It’s time to put your plan into action.”

In her hands was the head of a nobleman who had been there just a moment ago.

death.

It was a very sudden appearance, but at the moment no one knew, about ten knights, including nobles, were killed by Odelia.

“Juk, she is the saint of death!!!!”

Yuleef stepped back and screamed.

“Stop it now! Stop the warrior of death, the saint!”

… … Rotten.

Odelia, was this the stage you prepared?

“Hey. what… … .”

Even Charlotte holds her sword and glares at me with suspicion. A saint with the same origins as me appeared, killing innocent people. Until now, the Goddess of Death was not known to be an evil being. Because it was a distorted history, I kept my mouth shut and deceived everyone. I thought something like this might happen someday.

“Charlotte the Hero! Hurry and kill that evil hero of death, no, the demon!”

The imperial knights swarm in and surround me and Asabel. And it also caught Odelia over there, but I could see the limbs being torn off as it approached her.

“Hero! What can we do instead of punishing the demons?”

At Yuleaf’s command, Charlotte begins to draw the holy sword.

“Hey. Charlotte.”

He puts it back into the sheath and whispers in his ear.

“You don’t trust me?”

I flinch.

“Then… … What is that?”

“I’ll tell you when I’m done.”

“What? See… … foot. What is it… … .”

“Hero! What are you doing now!”

At this point, you would have thought that Charlotte and I would fight, but it was either against Yuleef or Odelia… … I’d like to tell you that you misjudged.

This is the trust created through naked exchange. When he gently blew wind and whispered into her ear, Charlotte put aside her doubts for the time being. This is enough.

I was going to use force from now on, but Charlotte, the only person who could stop me, raised her sword. What should I do now?

Simple.

“Odelia!!!!!”

“Uh, oh my?”

Even Odelia looked quite embarrassed, as if she hadn’t thought that I would jump right in with Charlotte without any friction. He raises his black sword and flies straight at Odelia, striking her down.

bang!!!!!

“Aaaah?!”

The sword was blocked by a strong shield, but Odelia was pushed back in the aftermath.

“We have done something very interesting. huh?! Are you going to make me run amok with humans and force me to join that cult?”

This is probably the content of the contract signed between Odelia and the 2nd Prince. After pretending that Asabel was in collusion with the demons, the prince politically kills Asabel. And Odelia comes forward and declares what the goddess of death is and the meaning of Ceresism. This will naturally further strengthen the fact that Asabel is a witch, and I will become a member of the Ceres Church even if I do not want to.

Prince bastard… … . Even if this project succeeds, without me or Asabel, we wouldn’t be able to stop the Demon Lord and the Goddess of Death.

“Warrior. How long can you hold out?”

At Odelia’s gesture, the freshly dead corpses begin to rise.

-Uuuu.

-Big uh

“City, corpses?!”

“An evil necromancer!!!”

“That’s what the goddess of death was like… … !”

People become more confused. I’m confused too, but in times like this, there’s only one thing you need.

With overwhelming force, I make my words become truth.

This is a truly ignorant method.

however.

The most one-dimensional yet certain.

“Ray!”

“Yes!”

Ray, who had already prepared to assist in the battle between me and Odelia, unleashed his divine power.

“Sanctuary!”

“What does it taste like?”

In this spacious hall, a sacred realm settles. Odelia was surprised by Ray’s use of divine power, which had grown even more while she was not watching. One by one, the dead caused by death are purified by pure white light.

“This… … It seems like a failure.”

Odelia’s judgment was very accurate and quick. The warriors did not fight each other, and the atmosphere did not turn entirely towards the prince. Two warriors and a saint. Is that it? It was difficult for Odelia to deal with the archmage, the dragon, etc., all by herself.

“Who sent it to you?”

Puzzle.

It’s a sound that came from my mouth.

“You crossed the line.”

Everything sucks. killing people. Of course, it’s been a while since Odelia crossed the line. What upsets me the most is that they did something like that to Asabel. A very similar method to what was done to Lucia. The prince who came up with such a plan, Odeliana who helped with it… … . I just can’t forgive.

“It’s really sad that I keep getting hated by the hero.”

I didn’t want to hear it anymore. He cuts through the air with his sword and cuts down Odelia.

“Tsk.”

[See you later. Since I made the princess like that anyway, my plan was more than half successful. Hahaha!]

Odelia disappeared along with a voice heard in the air. This… … Did you borrow the power of the goddess?

“What is this…? … .”

People here still had no idea how things were going. However, a smart person would have realized that it was a self-made play by the prince.

“Are you still acting! Okay, catch that mine right now!”

“Prince, you fucking bastard. It’s all over.”

“What? How dare you… … . What, what are you doing! This is the guy who insulted the prince! Hurry up, catch him, no, kill him!”

It appears that the knights are still confused as to whether the prince’s words or the hero’s words are true. There will be no Odelia anymore, and it is Ray’s role to sort out the situation.

“I give this order as a saint of the church that worships Gaia, the goddess of life.”

Several paladins sent by the Church of Gaia were also waiting here for Ray.

“Prince Yuleaf Silv colluded with demons and heretics. Capture him.”

“Yes!”

“Knights of the Empire, step down.”

The saint’s words were very religiously powerful. Unless the Emperor of the Empire gave an order to stop the Holy Knights, the Imperial Knights had no choice but to follow the Saint’s words.

“No! The one who joined hands with the demons was not me, but Princess Asabel! Saint!!!!! Yes, the saint has fallen!!! It’s corrupt!!!!!”

The paladins captured Yuleaf and began to drag him outside. They will probably take him to the Great Shrine, investigate the details, and take action. After Ray looked at him like that, he approached me.

“And as a saint, I ask you for an answer. About the goddess of death, and about you. Originally, we should have arrested him like the second prince, but since we believe that the hero’s contribution so far is greater, we will give him a chance to explain.”

Ray is also very special.

Just like the prince used to do, this is a show. No matter how much logic and strength I used to destroy the prince’s plan, questions would still remain. It was explained to the emperor and nobles that the Goddess of Death was not evil, but merely a forgotten god. However, some people actually died due to the woman who was just called the Virgin of Death. So Ray couldn’t just take my side. If you think you are truly corrupted, your faith in Gaia may also be broken.

“We will visit the Great Temple of Gaia as soon as possible to provide an explanation.”

“Good. For those of you here, we at Gaia Church will later organize and disclose the contents of the explanation given by the hero, so please wait until then”

Ray organized the situation wisely. People looked at her with trust because she was more rational than anyone else.

“Okay, then… … .”

Ray and I approached the woman that Charlotte was guarding by her side. Although she lost consciousness, Princess Asabel was writhing in pain on the floor, sweating profusely.

“Ha, ha… … .”

Now only the problem of Princess Asabel remains.
