The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"I can't take it anymore. Maybe I should just let you stay here."

Tanya was speechless.

"No, no, no, let's get serious."

Ye Xiao swung the iron chains, making a crisp sound. "Is there really no way to let me out?"

"There are only three days left until the upgrade plan. What can you possibly investigate if you go back now?"

"Third party".

Ye Xiao said in a deep voice.

"what?"

"The current situation is, on the surface, a struggle between the Holy Light Revelation Society, led by Ella, and the Aslan regime, which is allied with the Dark Shepherds and the Company."

Ye Xiao held up three fingers, "But actually, there's another group lurking underwater that I have some doubts about..."

What do you suspect?

Ye Xiao suddenly stopped mid-sentence, which annoyed Tanya.

"Ahem... It's not really convenient to talk about it right now."

俫.

"So you don't even trust me?"

Tanya crossed her arms over her chest.

"No, I'm just afraid of being overheard."

Ye Xiao shrugged. "Also, you'd better be careful. The evil god behind the Dark Shepherds is probably after you. If you can get me out of here, I'll have a reason to protect you."

"Don't scare me like that. How did you know I'm being targeted by an evil god?"

Tanya tilted her head. "You just want to find an excuse to use me to get you out of here, right?"

“That’s right. I assure you in the name of the Holy Maiden that everything I’ve said is true.”

"Your holy maiden?"

"if not."

Ye Xiao shrugged.

Chapter 207 Tanya's Past

Despite her sharp tongue, Tanya is quite efficient when it comes to getting things done.

Before evening, Ye Xiao was released from prison on bail.

He was not originally wanted by the royal palace, and with the order from an important figure in the duchy, the Aslan royal family naturally had no reason to forcibly detain him.

Of course, the Starweaver was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but unfortunately, Tanya's voice was no less powerful than that of the Executor. She said that she needed to temporarily borrow this "Mr. Anshap Kalon" to do some other things, and even though Astra was unhappy, she could only give up.

The two left the palace and boarded a lavishly decorated carriage.

Will this affect you?

Inside the train carriage, Ye Xiao asked Tania, "I still don't quite understand your relationship with the company."

"Didn't I mention this before? I'm... someone trained by the Caesars Corporation's operations department."

Tania replied, “I was originally an ordinary priest in a small border town of the Duchy. About half a year ago, the priests of the Lionheart City came to me and said that the prophecy had discovered that I had the potential to be close to the Holy Light. At the time, I didn’t think too much about it and just went with them.”

"Aren't your parents worried about you being away from home?"

"Is this what you're focusing on?"

Tanya looked at Ye Xiao with surprise. "My father disappeared before I was born, and my mother died of illness when I was about seven years old... So, I don't really have any relatives in this town."

"Uh...sorry."

"That happened many years ago, so it doesn't really matter."

Tania said calmly, "After that, I went to Lionheart City with the priests of the Holy Temple. Once there, I underwent some kind of spiritual quality test, which showed that I had a very high affinity for the Holy Light. As a result, I was hailed as a saintess."

"Ouch."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Did any miraculous sights, like angels descending, happen back then?"

"You think everyone is Ella Havie?"

Tanya chuckled and waved her hand. "But when I was little, I would unconsciously summon holy light. Back then, I thought it was from fairy tales. I could play in the backyard with a few groups of holy light for an entire evening..."

Tania paused abruptly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, "In the end, I'm not as fond of the Holy Light as I was when I was a child."

"Has the situation of not being able to summon holy light improved yet?"

Upon hearing this, Tanya raised her hand and cupped a small ball of holy light in her palm.

The warm white glow illuminated the carriage, bringing a sense of peace.

"Actually, Miss Alina should have told you back then that my previous Holy Light talent only came from another remnant soul, Heresta, within me. I myself do not have any particularly outstanding Holy Light talent."

"But I remember she also said that as long as you can maintain your resonance with that remnant soul, the power of the holy light can slowly recover."

Ye Xiao examined the faint white light on the other person's palm.

"Yes, Miss Alina said the same thing to me. But after everything I've been through, I still hope to be myself."

Tanya withdrew the faint holy light. "Of course, I don't have any issues with Heresta... it's just that I feel that it's not my power after all. Rather than forcibly changing my nature for it, I'd rather just be myself."

Even if it means losing your previous status and power?

Even if it means losing your previous status and power.

Tanya repeated firmly, "After this is all over, I just want to go back to my hometown and continue being an ordinary priest."

"Looking back now, I miss the time I spent teaching those children in remote towns on the edge of the world more than the scheming and intrigue at the center of the maelstrom."

"pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile. "I didn't realize you had such an ordinary dream."

"What's the meaning."

Tanya pouted. "Do I look like the kind of woman who's very ambitious?"

"No, not at all... I just wanted to say that what you hope for is probably what I want to protect."

The two returned to the guesthouse, where carriages were frequently seen heading towards the western part of the city from the courtyard outside.

“In the past few days, people from the company have been heading to the Royal Academy one after another. The upgrade plan should be implemented there.”

Tania said, "However, the nobles of the Duchy who participated in the Fire Seed Project are still staying at the guesthouse. Due to the recent public opinion indicating signs of unrest, the nobles are not too willing to go out in these last few days for their safety."

Stepping into the luxurious mansion, one can see many servants bustling about in the corridors, packing various luggage items.

For the nobles of the principality in the building, three more days would be the time to leave and depart. In their minds, it was more like embarking on a long journey with no return.

"Little Brother Kalon!?"

On their way back to the lounge, Ye Xiao and Tania were suddenly greeted by a shout from behind.

He turned his head and saw Mo Feng waving excitedly at him, "You actually got out, did you escape from prison?!"

"...If I really did escape from prison, and you're shouting and yelling here, I'm afraid I'll be caught again."

Ye Xiao was speechless.

"Oh……"

Miss Mofeng quickly covered her mouth, "Oh no!"

"It wasn't a prison break; I got out legitimately, thanks to Miss Tanya's bail."

Ye Xiao pointed with his thumb.

"Eh?"

Mo Feng then noticed the blonde girl beside him, "Saint...Saintess!?"

The company's spies were naturally able to recognize this Duchy Saintess; it was just that Miss Mo Feng's reaction was a beat slower than the average person, otherwise she would have shouted it out at first glance.

“You are Mr. Kalon’s friend, so you can just call me Miss Tanya.”

Tanya smiled gently. "Why don't you and the veteran team members chat in the lobby for a bit, and I'll wait for you upstairs?"

"Oh, no need, it's alright."

Unexpectedly, even after returning to the guesthouse, Ye Xiao was still very cautious and did not let Tania leave alone. Instead, he waved to Miss Mo Feng and said, "Come have dinner together, Boss Mo Feng. Look, I finally managed to hook up with a rich guy. Let the brothers enjoy the good life together."

Tanya, who was listening nearby, was speechless. Miss Mofeng scratched her head awkwardly and glanced at Tanya, as if seeking her opinion.

“No problem, Miss Windsor will be there too. Since we’re all friends, this is a rare opportunity for a dinner party.”

"Then... can I call the captain and the others too?"

Miss Mofeng said somewhat shyly and awkwardly.

"of course."

"Great! Long live the Holy Maiden!"

The orange-haired girl cheered happily.

"Your team members are surprisingly interesting."

Watching Miss Mofeng leave excitedly, Tania smiled and said to Ye Xiao, "She's much more interesting than the guys from the Operations Agency I know."

Chapter 208 The Last Supper

For Miss Windsor, tonight's dinner party was unusually lively.

Staying indoors for several days in a row at the guesthouse was truly a torment for a young lady who loved to have fun.

Although strictly speaking, the entertainment facilities at the guesthouse are not lacking. As the highest-level reception venue in Aslan, its facilities are quite complete, including a banquet hall, an art gallery, an opera stage, and a chess and card room. In your leisure time, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the capital of Aslan from the fountain courtyard behind the mansion.

But for Miss Windsor, the people she could come into contact with were always the same group of noble scions she was already very familiar with in the Duchy of Tedeh, and she had long lost interest and sense of novelty in getting to know them better.

Fortunately, she heard that not only her good friend Tanya was attending the banquet tonight, but even that guy Anshap Kalon had been released from prison.

The private dinner room was quite spacious, located on the top floor near the palace observation deck, with majestic mountains and palaces in the distance, and the turquoise canals surrounding them.

Of course, for Ye Xiao, who had just come from there, the Aslan Palace was not a pleasant experience.

Miss Windsor had just sat down at the table when Tanya and Ye Xiao, who was right behind her, appeared at the door as directed by a servant, quite punctually.

Raymond and Mo Feng followed behind, and rather shyly greeted Miss Windsor in the room.

"They all arrived at the same time."

Miss Windsor smiled quite happily.

Good evening, Miss Windsor.

Ye Xiao gave a gentlemanly bow and naturally took the seat next to Miss Windsor, which was pulled out by the butler Sebastian.

"Get out of the way, this is where I'm sitting."

Unexpectedly, Tanya immediately grabbed Ye Xiao's collar.

"There's actually another spot on the right..."

Miss Windsor blinked. "Hey, when did you two become so close?"

"You forgot? We fought side by side back in Gray Peak Pass."

Tanya replied casually, "Don't worry, he doesn't confide in anyone. Windsor, you shouldn't be fooled by him either."

"What are you talking about? What could I possibly be fooled about?"

Miss Windsor puffed out her chest in an attempt to project an air of haughtiness, but the slight blush on her face betrayed her.

"Why don't I see those nobles from the duchy before?"

Ye Xiao tried his best to act a little wooden, because the matter of romantic entanglements was indeed somewhat mystical.

In his previous life, he had also had the experience of rescuing a damsel in distress, but the other party usually acted quite realistically.

"noble?"
