The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Although the other party did not express his true purpose, Ella guessed that he was here on behalf of the Holy City to investigate this Saint of Light who had suddenly appeared.

After all, there are a lot of rumors about her, and if we don’t actually take a look, the people in the Holy City might not be reassured.

After some more nonsense with Bishop William, the guests from the royal family of Loren followed closely.

But this time, this person was not someone Ella wanted to see.

The second prince, Ken Bettis, walked slowly towards him in a dark blue classical tuxedo. The gaze from his light blue pupils under his deep eye sockets was as sharp and intimidating as ever.

"Lord Haiweier, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much more beautiful now."

"I actually prefer my faith in my Lord to be recognized rather than my superficial appearance," Ella snorted.

"Lord Haiweier is not very polite to me." The second prince smiled indifferently, "That being the case, I still brought you a small gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, the attendant beside the prince handed over an opened gift box.

"Thank you for your donation to the temple. Just hand it over to the priest in charge of inspection there."

"Donations to the temple are naturally indispensable. I have presented the gift money on behalf of the royal family. But this is just a small gift I personally want to give you. I hope Lady Haiweier can accept it." Prince Ken said softly.

Ella actually didn't want to accept it, but if she didn't accept it in this situation, it would be tantamount to representing the Temple and offending the royal family, which was not appropriate. She could only hold back her impatience and take the box.

In the box was a ring inlaid with a dark blue diamond and engraved with sophisticated magic circuits. It was obviously an enchanted item of great value.

It looks good, I'll give it to Ye Xiao later, Ella thought.

There was a square crystal next to the diamond ring. Ella picked up the crystal and saw that there seemed to be an image flashing on it.

Is this... a photo crystal?

Ella moved the crystal a little closer and was surprised to find a man with short, messy hair and listless eyes appeared on it.

Because Ye Xiao doesn't look in the mirror often, Ella was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was Ye Xiao's appearance.

As the images flowed, Ye Xiao wrestled with a sturdy man in a thick coat, and was then scratched by the steel claws extending from the other party's arms, causing blood to flow.

This was clearly the footage of Ye Xiao fighting against Thompson in the Colosseum, but Ella didn't quite understand how Prince Kane got this footage and what the meaning of recording it in the crystal for her was.

Hiss... Ella suddenly remembered the last time she secretly complained in her heart, which allowed the other party to have the ability to get engaged to Ye Xiao.

This guy couldn't possibly... Shit...

Looking at Prince Ken's smiling expression, Ella frowned slightly and felt a chill in her heart.

God of Light, I was just kidding. It would be even more complicated if this guy pestered Ye Xiao to get engaged!

Seeing that Ella looked uneasy, Ken Bettis was delighted - haha, I finally found out the weakness of this woman!

He received news a few days ago and found out that Ella Haiweier actually had a close friend who was an adventurer.

He didn't quite believe it at first. Others might not know, but he, who had been engaged to Ella, knew the character of the Duke's daughter very well. The arrogance of the nobility was reflected in her to the fullest. How could she make friends with a lowly adventurer who came out of some ditch?

But when he saw the saint's expression after seeing the image, he realized that this strange thing was actually true.

No matter what the reason was why she liked that inferior man, the important thing was that it meant that he finally had the means to threaten the saint!

Chapter 33 Ella's Trap

"Lord Haiweier, would you mind letting me have a chat?" Prince Ken still had a kind smile on his face and pointed to the open-air balcony next to him in a gentlemanly manner, making an inviting gesture.

Some things are hard to say too clearly in front of a group of Templar Knights.

Ella put the photo crystal back into the gift box and nodded slightly.

She also wanted to see what the prince was trying to do and what his relationship was with the underground arena.

The open-air balcony was only a few steps away. The Templar Knights and servants guarding Ella did not need to follow so closely, so they stood quietly around.

Two young nuns were also standing by, glancing at the Prince and the Saint who were whispering at the balcony railing, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Niya, I feel like that prince gives people a very uncomfortable feeling."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense." Mino put his index finger on Nia's lips, "It would be bad if others heard it."

The sun fell on the balcony, and Ella's silver hair, which was tied into two ponytails, was stained with a light golden halo. Her eyes behind the veil were staring at the crystal, as if she was thinking.

Ken Bettis' slightly raised mouth was filled with confidence. Obviously, he felt that he had figured out Ella. "Lord Haiweier seems to be very worried about your friend."

"So, what does Your Highness want to express to me through this?" Ella asked bluntly.

"Lord Haiweier, I understand your anxiety." Ken said slowly, "Your friends are my friends. Since this person is someone you care about, I will naturally try my best to ensure his safety."

"Um...I don't really understand."

Haha, woman, you are still pretending.

Ken stroked his chin. He had to say that he admired Ella for being able to calm down so quickly. But it didn't matter. With the temperament of the Duke's daughter, seeing the person she cared about fall into such a dangerous situation, even if she pretended to be calm on the surface, her heart must have been in turmoil.

"Haweier, you know, as your fiancé, I still understand you." Ken whispered, his blue eyes seemed to see through the silk covering Ella's face. He could already imagine the anxiety and uneasiness in those bright red eyes. "So, you don't need to hide from me anymore. I can help you, Haiweier, as long as you ask me for help; but if you insist on pretending, then I can't help Mr. Ye's situation."

It was not until Prince Ken made it clear that Ella finally realized that this elder brother wanted to use Ye Xiao's safety to threaten her.

She and Ye Xiao are the same person and know the causes and consequences of Ye Xiao's experience, so when she saw this video she just regarded it as a historical clip.

But in fact, she should consider it from the perspective of not knowing Ye Xiao's situation. That is, the prince showed her a video of her "loved one" being injured and in crisis. In theory, her psychological activities now should be worry and anxiety, and then praying to the prince to protect her "lover".

After understanding, Ella reviewed Prince Ken's words again and understood a lot more, but also felt some of them were abstract.

However, since the prince has somehow exposed his relationship with the underground arena, he might as well test the situation against him.

But Ella was deeply impressed by Prince Ken's cunning. If she asked for relevant information directly with words, she would most likely be answered perfunctorily. She would definitely have to find a way to use some tricks.

I just don't know who the other party is related to, the devil? The Institute of Craftsmanship? Or some other force that has not yet surfaced.

Before she could speak, Ella had to use memories that did not belong to her to recall the Ella of the past.

Well, think about it, what kind of emotion should be expressed when the only person a villain daughter cares about is in trouble.

"You..." Ella let out a sigh and bit her teeth, "What do you want?"

You should be angry when you feel threatened, but you should still be worried and cautious when your loved one's life is in danger.

Seeing Ella's lack of response for such a long time, Prince Ken began to wonder if he had made a mistake. But immediately after hearing these words, he regained his confidence, "Haha, Haiweier, I..."

"…Um, please don't call me by my name, it's a bit disgusting."

"Ah?" Ken was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard something wrong.

"Let him go, don't think that will make me remarry you." Ella said with a hint of anger. As a young lady, she was so angry that she made some unreasonable demands.

"This is not something I can decide, Master Haiweier..." Ken adjusted his address slightly, "I can only try my best to help you ensure his safety. But as a condition, I hope you can agree to a small request of mine."

Ella crossed her fingers and placed them in front of her lower abdomen. This action was mainly used to convey some nervousness to express her anxiety but helplessness. "What is the request?"

"Just do as I say, Lord Haiweier." Ken slowly moved closer, "You don't want your lover to get hurt, do you?"

"You..." Ella trembled and took a step back gently, but seemed to be worried about something. She did not continue to retreat but stopped where she was.

Prince Ken didn't say anything, but just raised the corners of his mouth.

The other party didn't dare to resist this simple test, which meant that he could take bolder actions.

His voice softened and his smile grew.

Once he successfully coerces Ella here, all of Loren will think that the Holy Lady of Light is having an affair with him, Ken Bettis.

Once there is a first time, even if it is just a simple kiss, things will go well afterwards.

The Holy Temple might be furious, but as long as they caught that lowly adventurer, Ella would have to plead for him. No matter how angry the Holy Temple was, with the Saint's plea and him being the prince of Loren, what could they do to him in the end?

Rumors of romance are easy to spread, especially when the prince and the saint are the protagonists. Once the public opinion is confirmed, he can find a few bards to compose a little song and sing it everywhere. The story of forcibly kissing the saint in the church will only change from a bad reputation to a good thing.

After that, remarriage is just a small goal that can be accomplished with a little help.

Bound to the Saint and with the help of the Holy Temple, he can easily remain invincible in the fight for the throne.

As a politician with ulterior motives, Prince Ken has already made his plans.

"You...what do you want to do...this is a holy temple..." Ella's cheeks were flushed. The satin covering her eyes should have been mysterious and holy, but in this situation it unexpectedly made people feel a little sexy.

"Don't be afraid, lovely Haiweier." For some reason, after hearing Ella's nervous and weak voice, Ken began to lose control of his breathing and moved closer.

He had only intended to play along, but the more he looked at Ella's gentle face, the more he found it difficult to suppress his inner restlessness.

Chapter 34: Going to a Meeting Alone

It's so strange, why does she seem to be more beautiful than before?

Prince Ken swallowed and stared at Ella's face with difficulty moving his eyes away.

"Woo..." Ella whimpered softly, raising her left hand to cover her face, with a delicate feeling of wanting to push the other person away but being afraid of being touched.

This small movement accidentally lifted the satin covering her eyes, and half of her bright red pupil appeared from the slightly slipping satin.

The slender, slightly raised eyebrows and the worried and anxious eyes made Ken's heart tremble. The pitiful eyes instantly seemed to ignite something in the prince's heart like a match.

To the point that he didn't even notice that Ella's other hand, which was placed under her body, quietly flicked a small holy light ball the size of a marble to the side.

This was the maximum amount of holy light that Ella could produce, but it was enough. The small ball flew out and hit the helmet of the Templar Knight who was facing away, causing him to turn his head in confusion.

At the same time, Ken couldn't help but reach out his hand and try to touch Ella's fair face.

Then, Ella dodged it by turning her head at an odd speed.

Prince Ken was stunned when he touched nothing. He thought he had made a mistake and tried to put his arm around Ella's shoulders.

"Your Highness..." Ella, who was wrapped in the prince's arms, looked up pitifully. Before the other's arm was about to touch her, she suddenly spoke, "Did the Institute of Craftsmanship ask you to come here?"

Ken was immersed in the beauty of the girl in front of him, and subconsciously blurted out, "Of course not, what does it have to do with the society..."

Ken was stunned before he finished speaking, his hand stopped in mid-air, his eyes gradually filled with shock, "You...how do you know this name..."

"Everyone over there, did you hear me clearly?" The next moment, Ella said lightly with a blank expression on her face.

Prince Ken seemed to realize something. He turned his neck stiffly and saw a row of Templar Knights standing quietly not far away, staring at them motionlessly.

If reality could send signals, there would definitely be countless big question marks in Ken's head.

His arms were still stretched out, less than ten centimeters away from Ella's arms, and his upper body was like a duck's neck.

Finally, Ken realized that he had to retreat, but Ella grabbed his arm.

He tried hard to pull back his arm, but was surprised to find that this delicate girl was as strong as a black bear. Even with all her strength, her arm didn't move at all.

During this delay, the Templars surrounded the poor prince, and their giant hands like pliers grabbed each of his thin shoulders.

"You...you don't care about the life or death of that adventurer...!?" Ken shouted in disbelief.

Ella did not respond, but tilted her head slightly, crossed one hand over her chest and raised the index finger of the other hand high, "You colluded with the Dark Cult and molested the priest, Ken Betis, you can choose to remain silent, but the Holy Temple will judge your crimes."

Standing among a group of tall and mighty figures in iron armor, this petite figure with an unusual air does not look like a saint at this moment, but more like a domineering gangster lady.

“Templar Knights, listen to my orders.” Ella’s half pupil, revealed by the slipped silk, was full of teasing, and her raised finger drooped slightly, “Beat him for me!”

……

No longer talking about the little farce at the pilgrimage dinner, at this moment in the underground arena in Ji Le Fang, the dazed Ye Xiao finally woke up.

"Ah..." Ye Xiao touched his head and felt his whole body aching as if it had been hit by a dump truck.

However, the character panel clearly does not show any damage or debuffs received, which is strange.

Ye Xiao was still confused, when he suddenly saw a girl with long pink and white hair in a maid outfit handing him a glass of water. "Sir, do you need some water?"

"Ah, thanks."

When did this guy come back? Ye Xiao took the cup of water, looked around, and found that he was still in the lounge, but Freya and Tuta were nowhere to be seen.

"Maid, Fu...where is my assistant?"

"It seems that your assistant suddenly had something urgent to do. He asked me to take good care of you and then left in a hurry." The maid said softly.

Urgent matter? At this time? Ye Xiao was a little confused.

However, Ye Xiao and Freya were not familiar with each other. In fact, they had only known each other for two days. It was possible that the other person had encountered something more important than himself. Therefore, Ye Xiao was not angry about the other party's sudden departure.

"Why did I suddenly fall asleep?"

"I'm not sure about that. When I came back from changing towels, I saw you lying on the chair and your assistant was sitting next to you."

"Strange..." Ye Xiao looked at the maid's cute little round face, feeling a little confused.

With Ella observing the weather, Ye Xiao knew that it was almost sunset at this time. By this calculation, the people from the Institute of Engineering should be here soon.
