Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

A position that is common, yet also romantic, within the Vatican.

He swore an oath to become a guardian knight, which means that apart from the God of Glory, Jeifer is the only person he needs to serve.

He will be completely loyal to Jefl and will shield her with his body when danger strikes.

Moreover, as the former leader of the Knights, Scott was naturally a formidable fighter. If he hadn't encountered an unreasonable succubus like Arena, he might have shone even brighter on the battlefield.

He's not bad-looking; he's the mature, weathered, and good-looking type of older man.

Jefle cast a pleading look at Domi.

Domi smiled and nodded, indicating that he could accept it, and Jefel then accepted Scott's oath.

As a guardian knight, Scott was required to stay by Jeifer's side at all times, so he could freely enter and leave the monastery.

Unexpected, truly unexpected.

However, this way, even if I'm not around, there will be a reliable guy to protect Jefel. I believe that with him around, he can definitely help Jefel go further.

With Jefel successfully becoming a candidate for sainthood, Domi's plan was already more than halfway to success.

Now, with multiple pieces of leverage over him, the initiative is in his own hands...

"It's time to close the net."

He stood on the dormitory balcony as usual, gazing into the distance, his eyes flashing with countless thoughts.

The monastery is nearing the end of its term.

The customs are different from those of Earth.

After the nuns have studied in the convent for half a semester, the convent will begin to solicit their future plans.

For three days, you can go to the dean for a "heart-to-heart talk about life" whenever you have free time.

Domi went in the middle of the process, and since many people had already been there, her impression of herself naturally became blurred and confused over time.

Moreover, the dean himself was merely an old scholar with some ability, highly respected within the Vatican, which conveniently facilitated Domi's operations...

Late autumn and early winter.

Like most nuns who wanted to go home to visit their families, Domi also asked for leave from the convent, saying that she wanted to see her former adventurer companions.

That day, the city guards saw Domi leave, made a casual note of it, and then paid no further attention.

But what no one expected was that the nun Aphrodite had already disappeared halfway, and a dark figure hid under the carriage entering the city, once again blending into the city.

In the afternoon, Ms. Heidi was watering her frost-resistant flowers and plants at the door. Growing these flowers that only bloom in winter is her hobby.

At that moment, a man wearing a dark yellow coat and a top hat, but not very tall, stood at the gate of her yard, accompanied by a girl wearing a reporter's vest.

"Excuse me... is there anything I can help you with?"

The man took off his hat, revealing a face that was unfamiliar yet instantly pleasing to the eye:

"Good afternoon, Ms. Heidi. We are the editor-in-chief and reporter of a newspaper. We have come to inform you of some good news."

Although Ms. Heidi looked puzzled, her excellent upbringing prevented her from letting her two guests, who had come from afar, stand outside in the cold wind.

"Please come inside first. Perhaps we can talk more after enjoying a cup of hot cocoa."

"You are such a kind lady." At this moment, Domi's little mouth was as sweet as if it had been coated with honey.

"Kindness!" Forty-Seven, who was acting as an assistant, echoed.

Heidi smiled slightly, then guided the two to sit on the soft sofa. After making three cups of hot cocoa, she sat opposite them, took a small sip of the warming cocoa, and then asked:

"What do you mean by 'good thing' just now, sir?"

"Oh, it's all because your cocoa was so delicious that I almost forgot about the important matter..."

Heidi accepted the two photos that Forty-Seven handed her.

Looking down, his expression immediately changed drastically, and he stared at the two of them in disbelief.

"This……"

The photo shows General Gray, in a fit of rage, shoving a wild woman named Left Love Star in an alley.

There are two photos; one is an illusion, and the prototype of the wild man's skin is this Ms. Heidi.

The other one, without any illusions, was quite extreme.

When Domi was looking for 'outer skins' for his summoned creatures, he wasn't just randomly searching. He had already made plans, and the people he found were naturally those who could definitely help him achieve his goal.

"As you can see, your portrait rights may have been exploited by some criminals," Domi said sympathetically, speaking from Heidi's perspective.

"That man is actually Gray, the youngest and most arrogant general of the Winged Clan, who was sent by them not long ago to capture the adventurer 'Death Omen'!"

"His lechery and dissolute lifestyle are already well-known far and wide. Once word gets out that he's going to do *that* with you...your likeness, it will definitely have a very bad impact on your reputation."

“If it were before, I think you would have laughed it off, but now that your husband is seriously ill, I can’t imagine what would happen if such negative news came out at this time…”

If word gets out, her workplace might just give up on her, leaving her without the funds to support her family and her seriously ill husband...

With a reputation for being a slut, apart from brothels, probably no place would want her.

Ms. Heidi's face was extremely grim, her expression a mixture of resentment and helplessness.

Tragedy always seems to find those who are unfortunate; whatever they lack, it will even take away from them what they already have.

Why……

Why does such a tragic fate keep finding her during the most difficult time for this family?

What did she do wrong? Day after day, year after year, she worshipped God and the Vatican. Is this the result she got?

How can anyone be content with this?

"Is this all the good thing you've been talking about? If that's all, please leave. I have nothing more to offer you."

Her voice suddenly became incredibly weak.

“You’re mistaken, madam,” Domi’s tone took a sharp turn. “In fact, we’ve seized this opportunity. If handled properly, it will not only bring you a substantial reward and save your husband’s huge sum of money in one go, but also allow us to clean ourselves up completely and achieve a permanent solution.”

A person who is already at rock bottom has no resistance to such rewards.

Seeing Heidi's expression, Domi knew that things were going well.

"You just need to do this... and then this..."

The following day, a bombshell announcement shattered the peaceful lives of ordinary people in the country like a deep-sea bomb.

The obscene photos were printed on the front page of the newspaper. Of course, the second photo was heavily censored, but Gray, the male protagonist, was not censored at all and appeared in his original form.

The following text reveals Grey's actions as a public figure after arriving in the Theocracy, as well as Heidi's personal account as a victim of image rights.

Through words alone, the public could deeply hate Grey and feel immense sympathy for Heidi, a commoner who suffered an undeserved misfortune.

The newspaper quickly became a bestseller, and several editions were even reprinted due to high demand.

Logically speaking, as one of the main figures in the incident, one should receive some form of appearance fee.

Unfortunately, it never has, and it never has.

For newspapers and individuals, newspapers need news to sell newspapers and make a profit, while individuals need the influence of newspapers to spread what they want to spread.

Since they already have this relationship of mutual benefit, the newspaper naturally doesn't need to pay any additional funds.

But Domi wasn't trying to get something for nothing.

Domi did give her the huge sum of money she had promised, but she used her own money as hush money.

As the saying goes, anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem.

To prevent Heidi from becoming hysterical over empty promises and giving the other party an opening, Domi will keep his promise.

The newspaper also reached Gray's hands.

After reading it, he immediately started cursing and lost his composure on the spot.

"A death omen! I'm...!"

Yusha Rose, who was not involved, watched the show unfold.

"The attempt to steal a chicken backfired. The person who came to catch the omen of death was instead tricked by it. I knew that the Feather Clan were creatures who thought with their lower bodies. I can't conspire with them."

But that wasn't the end of it. The "truth" that Afu had recorded while drunk was amplified countless times by Domi's sound magic and resounded throughout the air of the theocracy.

Now even Yusha Rose has been dragged into this mess.

She turned sharply to her confidante Monica and asked angrily, "Why is this recording also included in the Omen of Death?!"

"Did you give it to him?!"

Monica immediately knelt on the ground, her voice trembling:

"Young master, I didn't..."

Aside from Gray and his group, the only other guests present who were not suspects were Monica and her partner Becky.

"It's that bartender!"

Yusha Rose immediately went out to the bar and, under the strange looks of everyone, grabbed the owner behind the bar.

Becky and Monica both quit, so the boss had no choice but to go back to his old ways.

Yu Xialuos grabbed the boss's collar, her face grim, and said angrily, "Where's that bartender? Call her out!"

“Betty…Betty resigned yesterday…I don’t know where she went after that…”

"Damn!!"

Yu Xialuosi immediately became hysterical, her disheveled appearance a far cry from her former urban beauty.

She walked out of the bar with a sinister expression, but as soon as she stepped outside, a "rain of flyers" began to fall on her head.

But those papers weren't flyers; they were photos of her and Gray having an affair, and the poses were all different—you could pick up a few and they wouldn't be the same.

The veins on her hand, which was gripping the paper, bulged, and a terrifying pressure emanated from Yusha Rose, like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Don't forget, Yusha Rose rose to her position through strength. As a battle saintess, her combat power is even greater than Gray's.

"Monica..."

Monica was worried that something might happen to her, so she stayed nearby and came out as soon as Yusha Rose called her.

"Use all your forces! Find the omen of death! I'll make him wish he were dead!"
