The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Ye Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully grasped Skadi's slender wrist, feeling the excitement trembling all over her body.

"Calm down... How can I calm down...?"

Skadi's originally delicate and fair cheeks turned bright red, like ripe peaches, and her deep blue eyes widened.

After struggling several times, she found that she still couldn't break free from Ye Xiao's grasp. Then she saw the silver-haired fox spirit peeking out from behind, scrutinizing her. As her anger subsided, a sudden pang of sadness welled up inside her, and a strange sense of grievance surged within her.

"How can you expect me to calm down?! I!...I!!!...Waaaaah..."

During that ordeal, Skadi gradually realized that this was not actually an illusion.

How could there be such a realistic illusion?

But if that's the case, wouldn't the reality be even more disheartening?

So the strong queen first sobbed softly, and then soon, strings of small pearls began to slide down her cheeks.

With this cry, her body deflated like a punctured balloon. Her small hand, which Ye Xiao was holding, loosened its grip on the sword hilt, and her other small hand frantically pounded on Ye Xiao's chest. She buried her head, which was tied up with golden hair, in the pile of clothes and wailed loudly.

Ye Xiao couldn't bear the sight and quickly pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve.

"Oh dear, Your Majesty, you are a strong and brave queen, don't cry, we won't cry."

As they spoke, Ella discreetly drew the curtains, making sure this scene wasn't seen by anyone outside.

Fortunately, it was just the three of them and a little fat cat in the royal study, otherwise Queen Skadi's illustrious reputation would probably have been ruined before she even ascended the throne.

"Waaaaah... Liar... Waaaaaah... You big liar!!! You stinky liar!!!"

"Oh dear... heh..." Ye Xiao chuckled bitterly, feeling quite helpless, but he didn't refute it.

To be fair, it wasn't very kind of Skadi to keep this a secret from Ella.

Although there may be various reasons, the other person has been very honest with me, so I deserve to be scolded by them.

“It was my fault, Your Majesty. I must admit that it was indeed my fault for not telling you about this beforehand, Your Majesty.” Ye Xiao scratched his head. “For this, I must sincerely and earnestly apologize to you.”

"I'm so sorry, Skadi."

"Liar, you're a liar! ...Do you think I'll forgive you just because you say that!" Skadi raised her head angrily, her face streaked with tears. "So...you and this woman...have been working together all along!"

"So what does all this experience mean to me?"

"Hey, no, you can't say that." Ye Xiao gently wiped away the other person's tears. "I admit there was some...scheming involved... but your growth is genuine, your courage, and the recognition that the people and nobles have for you now... these are all real."

"All this talk is just an excuse to lie to me!"

"No, Your Majesty, I won't shamelessly say, 'I did all this for your own good.' I must also say that I did have some of my own purposes in the beginning."

"And if I deceived you in this matter, and you find it unforgivable no matter what, I can understand that."

“But Your Majesty, I hope that whether you forgive me or not, you will not deny the person you have become.” Ye Xiao gently wiped away the tears from Skadi’s eyes and smiled faintly. “The efforts you have made, the figure you stood before the evil god for millions of people, these are all real.”

“If you truly cannot forgive me, I am willing to do everything in my power to make amends. But Your Majesty, even after I leave, I want you to know that you will always be a very, very good king.”

"From now on, even if there is no one else you can trust, please believe in yourself."

Chapter 217 Unforgivable

After he finished speaking, the Imperial Study fell silent.

Skadi kept wiping the tears from her face with Ye Xiao's clothes, and after a moment, she slowly calmed down.

"Saying such things... is really cunning..."

“You big liar… I will never forgive you…”

Ye Xiao shrugged with a wry smile; such an ending was not entirely unexpected.

He slowly released his grip on the other's wrist, his arm hanging down, but unexpectedly Skadi suddenly dropped her rapier and grabbed his sleeve.

"Uh……"

Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback.

But then she saw the other person raise their head, their eyes brimming with tears, yet their tone was firm: "Just because I said I won't forgive you... doesn't mean you can leave!"

"Take responsibility properly, you bastard!!"

“Um… it means…” Ye Xiao scratched his head.

"That means I still want to marry you!!!" Skadi blushed. "...Fine...Fine, I'll just be in line after that stinky woman...But don't even think about getting rid of me!!!"

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, then finally understood the meaning behind the arrogant girl's words. While delighted, he smiled slightly embarrassedly and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty...hehe."

"Hey you, my foot!!!" Skadi angrily punched Ye Xiao in the chest.

What could she do?

This guy is shameless, a liar, vulgar, and plain-looking...

Even though she has a boyfriend, and he's such an annoying one, she still goes around flirting with other people.

They keep saying "believe in yourself," but all they're really doing is trying to run away and avoid responsibility!

He's a womanizer, a scumbag, such a despicable man... but I just can't help not forgiving him!

I can't forget everything we experienced together at the academy, I can't forget that figure who resolutely drew his sword and stood in front of her.

If those terrible family experiences, facing terrifying evil spirits, and the memories of despair and betrayal are the biggest shadows in her life, then so are the ones she experienced.

Ye Xiao was like a slash that pierced through the dark clouds, shining the only ray of light upon her in the darkness.

This light may have been mixed with impurities, or it may have been part of some plan, but it was genuine and brought her warmth and brightness.

Moreover, after everything was over, the other party did not choose to continue to deceive her or plot against her, but instead sincerely told her all the truth, even if it might incur her resentment.

What else could she ask for...? It seems there's nothing left for her to ask for.

That's why I say this man is really cunning; he can say both the right and the wrong things.

But that's probably why she got so deeply involved and couldn't extricate herself.

"Hmph, you stinky Ye Xiao."

Seeing Ye Xiao still grinning foolishly, Skadi puffed out her cheeks, released her grip on his collar, and angrily picked up the scattered pages of her book.

I'm angry as I am, these documents are still useful, so I can't let them all get damaged.

"Hey Skadi, you just need to rest. I'll help you tidy up."

Ella, who was standing nearby, immediately came over with a grin and put her arm around Skadi's slender arm.

"Who's your sister! I never said we were making up, you wicked woman!!"

Skadi hurriedly tried to pull her hand out of Ella's arms, gritting her teeth as she said, "Don't think you can get close to me like that!!"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, let your big sister hug you." Ella, like a clingy little imp, kept circling around Skadi, patting her shoulder and stroking her back with her little paws. "That was all an act, I actually really like you!"

In fact, even without Ella saying it, Skadi understood this principle perfectly well.

After an initial mental blank, a little thought revealed that since she ultimately ascended the throne, Ella, who was actually working with Ye Xiao, must have been helping her.

But being angry is being angry. Even if it's acting, it's still acting in a way that's incredibly annoying!

Therefore, Skadi naturally wouldn't let Ella hug her, saying, "Get away from me right now!"

"Hmm..." Ella pursed her pink lips, feigning sadness. "His Majesty the King won't forgive me. It hurts so much. Ye Xiao, please hug me..."

"I'll hug you!! Isn't it enough that I'll hug you!!!"

Skadi nearly choked with rage, gritting her teeth as she hugged Ella, who was grinning mischievously.

However, Ella's petite stature was shorter than Skadi's tall figure, and when she put her arm around Skadi's fluffy silver head, it was only enough to reach Skadi's chin.

So Ella naturally buried her face in Skadi's soft chest, "Yay~"

"How can you act like a scoundrel, woman!" Skadi blushed as she suddenly felt the stirring in her chest. "Alright, that's enough! How much longer are you going to hug me!"

"I need to hug Skadi to forgive me~"

"No one would forgive you!!! Get away from me!!! Ah!!!" Skadi was completely numb, as if she had fallen into an octopus's trap. The other party didn't use much force, but she just couldn't shake them off.

"Hehe, consider this Ella's apology, so let her hug her for a while," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"troublesome!"

Skadi, though outwardly defiant, found that her inner hostility towards Ella had quietly dissipated, and she discovered she didn't resent the soft, petite figure in her arms. Like cradling a docile kitten, the feeling was surprisingly comfortable.

Even when she inadvertently took a light sniff of that smooth, shimmering silver hair, a delicate jasmine fragrance wafted into her nostrils, instantly invigorating her…

Oh wait! This dangerous, devilish woman!! How did she almost bewitch me too?!

Skadi quickly shook her head, blushing as she looked at Ye Xiao, who was helping to pick up the pages from the floor. "Hmph, so... about the engagement, you're planning to marry this bad woman first before marrying me, right?"

"Actually... we can go together too." Ye Xiao gave a simple and honest smile.

"You wish!!" Skadi scoffed. "Marriage is one of the most important rites of passage for a young woman; it's unique, you can't have it all done at once!!!"

“Okay…” Ye Xiao shrugged, it seemed that his beautiful dream was bound to leave some regrets in the end. “But actually, if we’re going in order… um, I have something important that I have to tell you.”

"Huh?" Skadi frowned slightly. "What else? What are you hiding from me?"

"Oh, hehe, isn't this what I'm telling you?" Ye Xiao said, placing a stack of parchment on the table. "Actually... I have another partner I need to introduce to you..."

"Huh???" Skadi couldn't hold back and blurted out a vulgar curse that was completely unladylike, "You fucking...you bastard, you've been two-timing me for a long time???"

"No, no, that's a complete misunderstanding. And I didn't mean it. I just didn't expect my charm to be so overused..."

"Go to hell! Tell me right now, who else is there?!"

Chapter 218 Epilogue

"I brought them with me too, don't worry, don't worry, I didn't intend to hide this from you."

Ye Xiao first comforted him, then pointed with his finger: "Actually, there's also this one... hey, he's also my lover."

Skadi looked in the direction Ye Xiao was pointing, but clearly saw nothing, which made her slightly puzzled.

Speaking of Ye Xiao saying "bring them all over"... but there are only three people in this room, including her.

Um, wait a minute.

Skadi looked more closely at the spot Ye Xiao was pointing to—on the desk, the chubby golden kitten was squatting with its head held high and chest puffed out, looking quite proud, like a tall, upright nut.

Hiss... Ah?

This...isn't right?

Skadi scrutinized Ye Xiao's expression again, realizing he wasn't joking and looked serious. Finally, she couldn't help but speak up, "Um... Ye Xiao... I can accept your well-intentioned deception..."

"...But you're actually...in a relationship with a cat?"

"While it can indeed speak, this is still a bit too far beyond the realm of human understanding..."

Seeing Skadi's drastic change in expression, Ye Xiao immediately realized that he had become too accustomed to being with Greta and had almost forgotten that after saying those words, people would only think he was a pervert. He hurriedly interrupted, "Hey, hey, no, no, Skadi, let me explain..."

"This one looks like a golden shaded terrier, but actually, she's also a human... a humanoid species..."

"Hey, what do you mean by 'humanoid species'!" Greta screamed, punching Ye Xiao's finger with her cat paw.

“Okay… I think I understand. It’s probably something like… the ‘Swan Prince’ situation?” Skadi’s lips twitched. “What kind of curse turned her into this?”

"Hmm, more or less." Ye Xiao didn't know what Skadi meant by "Swan Prince." It was probably some kind of fairy tale circulating in Loren, but the meaning should be pretty much the same.

"Alright..." Skadi felt her head buzzing. This cat had indeed been following Ye Xiao since they met at the academy arena. Anyway, she had seen all sorts of strange things thanks to Ye Xiao, so the idea of ​​a girl cursed into a cat didn't seem so unacceptable.

"I'm not cursed!" the kitten protested. "I'm the most powerful demon god in hell!!!"

"Okay, okay, you're awesome." Ye Xiao pulled a small fish-shaped biscuit from his pocket and stuffed it into Greta's mouth. "You can reintroduce yourself to people when you're not like this anymore."

Skadi looked at the two, one human and one cat, somewhat speechless, but since Ella, the main wife, hadn't said anything, she decided to let it be...

No, what "official wife"?! Even if we consider seniority, I should be older than this wicked woman!

Skadi looked down and saw Ella, who was a whole head shorter than her—how could this tiny little thing be her older sister!

Why is this guy still hugging me?!

"Alright, alright, that's enough! You're a duke's daughter, can't you be a little more reserved?" Skadi pouted and pulled Ella's arm off her.

She just wanted to hug Ye Xiao and didn't want to get close to this bad woman at all.
