I am the heroine's godfather!

Despair, despair lingered in everyone's hearts. Frederick's sudden and unexpected death brought unparalleled despair. Even Frederick, who seemed omnipotent to them, had died without any resistance. What could these mortals do?

Just when everyone was in despair, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.

"stop!"

A streak of light flashed across the sky, and then the princess, riding a white horse and accompanied by guards, stepped into the execution ground. In front of the white horse stood an old man dressed in red.

"I am Princess Antaya, Milia Antaya! The Church of the Evil God, I will never allow you to harm my people!"

———————Some time ago———————

Looking at the gloomy sky, Milia felt an inexplicable sense of dread. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen in that city.

A familiar voice rang out, and a woman wearing an iris mask appeared in front of her at some point.

"Lady Iris? You...you're not her?"

"Milia Antaya".

The Iris Lady's voice remained indifferent: "In that city, the Church of the Evil God is holding a sacrifice."

"what?"

Whether it was Milia or the other guards, everyone's face showed shock, even Laura was no exception. Lady Iris continued, "If the sacrifice proceeds as planned, then everyone in that city will die."

Panic crossed everyone's faces. Ms. Iris continued, "So, run away. Don't worry about them. Those who went to rescue your family failed. Your loved ones are no longer inside."

"..."

Milia fell silent.

Running away? Upon closer reflection, running away seems to be the thing she has done most often lately—escaping from the pursuit of the royal family and not daring to go to the front lines in the face of war, instead hiding in the back.

So, should we run away? Just like we're best at?

That's an evil cult! How could you possibly win? Going there would only mean certain death, so run away. No one will blame you.

but……

"Do not."

She refused again; she didn't want to run away anymore. Yes, she wasn't a good child. From childhood to adulthood, she had bullied others, acted like a spoiled brat, and wasn't particularly talented. When faced with problems, she only thought of escaping.

But at least, at least now, she doesn't want to become a homeless dog.

“I’m not running away anymore, ma’am.”

Although Milia's face was pale and filled with fear, she still said firmly, "I will stand with my people."

Lady Iris remained silent. Milia glanced at the guard beside her.

"You should leave. Don't come and die with me."

But no one left.

"We swear to defend our country to the death!"

Milia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then come with me!"

Ms. Iris sighed, her tone still calm: "Now, you see."

Footsteps sounded, and an old man slowly walked over, clapping his hands.

"very good."

He laughed loudly, "I am Helian, Cardinal Isnar, and I will accompany you all this time!"

Chapter 272 The End of the Incident

Milia's intervention did not actually change the situation. She was only a first-tier being. In front of the Bloodthirsty Pope, who was about to reach the eighth tier, a first-tier being was no different from an ordinary person. They were just ants that could be crushed with one foot.

But the old man in red was different.

The red bishop's robes suggest only one possibility.

Cardinal.

Without a doubt, the Bloodthirsty Pope recognized the person before him.

"Cardinal Helian of the Isnar Diocese?"

"It's the old man."

Helian, holding his scepter, said solemnly, "You lackey of the evil god, why do you disturb the mortal realm and intend to harm living beings?"

"Harmful to living beings?"

The Bloodthirsty Pope grinned coldly: "I am merely guiding lost sheep on their way!"

"You have committed an unforgivable sin."

Helian's tone turned solemn as he pointed his scepter at the Bloodthirsty Pope: "In the name of Her Majesty the Holy Maiden and the Seven Gods, I hereby grant you death!"

"ridiculous!"

The Bloodthirsty Pope remained disdainful; blood transformed into one of his arms, grotesque and terrifying.

"You think you can kill me? Holy Maiden? So what if you're a Holy Maiden? Even with the Holy Maiden's power, God has descended to earth. It's impossible for her to cross such a great distance and penetrate God's barrier!"

The Bloodthirsty Pope waved his hand, and blood transformed into sharp blades, hurtling towards Helian. Helian, however, remained calm and sneered, "Do you really think we have no backup plan?"

He chanted aloud: "Holy Messiah, spread your power in the fields of the Seven Gods, and let the holy flowers bloom!"

"Ridiculous! I've already said it, even with the Saintess's power, it's impossible for her to travel this far to get here!"

On the third floor of the tavern, Loran raised his glass, took a sip of tea, and then placed it on the tray. The porcelain cup clinked against the tray, making a crisp sound that was particularly clear at that moment.

"clang……"

With a crisp sound, a holy magical power came riding on the wind!

"This is?!!!"

The Bloodthirsty Pope stared in shock at the magical power. There was no mistake; this holy magical power could only come from the Holy Maiden!

This is the saintess's magic!

but……

"Such a slow wind, you think it can touch me? Don't underestimate me!"

Yes, the movement of that magic power wasn't particularly fast; for a peak seventh-tier being, it could be avoided if they wanted to.

But just as the Bloodthirsty Pope was about to act, he was horrified to discover that he could not move! A holy magic surged from his blood, causing his internal organs to groan in agony!

"What?! This, this is!!!"

The Bloodthirsty Pope's eyes widened. The blood he had absorbed contained the Saintess's magic! How could this be!

Could it be, could it be that guy Frederick, that guy?!

"Friedrich!!!"

The Bloodthirsty Pope roared in fury, and Helian raised his staff high: "This is divine retribution!!!"

Flames ignited from his internal organs, scorching his body and burning away all evil!

The Bloodthirsty Pope roared and opened his hands, trying to catch the blood rain to heal himself, but the blood rain avoided him and flowed towards another familiar figure.

He turned his head. The red-haired woman's eyes were calm, and her aura was slowly rising, crossing the threshold between the sixth and seventh ranks.

"you……"

"Go in peace."

Alyssa said calmly, "I will take your place and become the new Pope."

The Bloodthirsty Pope's eyes widened: "What exactly are you...?"

On a distant hillside, a man in an alchemical robe stood with a calm expression.

How does it feel to murder your colleague?

A sound rang out, and a black cat perched on his shoulder, looking rather lazy, as if it had just woken up.

"I don't have any thoughts."

Pope Gluttony spoke calmly: "He has fallen far, far astray."

"Is your depravity any further than yours?"

The black cat grinned, revealing its sharp teeth: "Having become the agent of two evil gods at the same time, you are the one who has fallen the deepest."

"Yes."

Pope Gluttony chuckled: "So I am already unforgivable."

"It's so boring."

The black cat yawned, its voice growing weaker: "But perhaps that's precisely why you make 'me' find you interesting."

Its figure gradually faded away: "Perform to your heart's content before 'I' awaken, Agent."

--------------

The battle in Antaya is over. After the fall of the Bloodthirsty Pope, most of his power and the crown were taken over by Bishop Elisa of the Bloodthirsty Church. Now, she has surpassed the seventh rank and become the new Bloodthirsty Pope.

Helian was too exhausted from the battle with the Bloodthirsty Pope to keep Elisa here.

Alyssa left, but she left behind a mess.

The Kingdom of Antaya.

Although it was just a small country, it was still a country, and a country needs a monarch. But now, Frederick was dead, and the royal family had been almost completely slaughtered by him. Apart from the children who were still young, only four or five years old, only Milia was left.

Therefore, only Miria is qualified to become the new king.

Although Milia was still young, her act of leading people into the ceremony venue brought her great prestige, and many people began to shout "Long live the Queen!"

Milia still doesn't understand what happened, so Herian left her a letter, which was left by Lady Iris, explaining the whole story in detail.

It turns out that the Church of the Evil God had long been eyeing the Kingdom of Antaya, but fearing they wouldn't be able to persuade the former king, they turned to Frederick.

It was at this time that Frederick discussed everything with Lady Iris and finalized the plan. He took on the blame for usurping the throne, killed the parasites in the royal family, left clean members for the royal family, and then asked the Papacy to infuse him with the magic of the saintess. In the end, he became the sharp sword that killed the bloodthirsty pope.

"So, is this part of your plan?"

After listening to Lorraine's explanation, Miss Charlotte narrowed her eyes: "I remember Miss Alyssa knew you before, didn't she?"

"Not really. But I was definitely involved."

Loran picked up a dessert and said, "I'm just a backup plan. Alyssa wants to become a mole infiltrating the Church of the Evil God, while Frederick wants to leave a clean royal family for Antaya and atone for killing his lord. They both have their own goals."

"That's it..."

Nothing major happened after that. The new king of Antaya ascended the throne, and the Frederick dynasty, which lasted for less than a month, was overthrown. Queen Milia of Antaya took the throne, and the first thing she did after taking the throne was to apply for withdrawal from St. Casta.

After all, once she became queen, she no longer had time to go to school, which actually made her quite sad, but she quickly recovered.

Laura mostly remained an observer in the later stages of the incident, knowing that since Charlotte was there, Loran would likely be there as well, and nothing serious would happen. Even so, to express gratitude for her contributions to the war, Milia granted her a marquisate.

Now Laura is bigger than Loran (not really).

In truth, the title of marquis is not so easy to obtain, but now that a new king has ascended the throne, it is natural to purge a group of those who previously defected. Those with lower ranks will be left aside for now, but a few high-ranking nobles will still be arrested as examples.

By stripping those nobles of their titles, some vacancies naturally arose, and Laura seized one of these loopholes.

Incidentally, Charlotte also received a title, as she single-handedly killed the Countess of Bernette's family, so the title of Countess of Bernette, along with her territory, was returned to Charlotte.

This can be considered a correction of the wrongs.

However, Charlotte didn't have much time to manage the territory, but she couldn't bear to let the old house fall into disrepair, so she asked Loran to find a few old men from the Antoya Merchant Guild to manage it, and then Charlotte returned to Enshiya.

Upon returning to Enshia, he naturally had to talk with Anna and Laura.
