The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Even Clement Reinhardt, who once boasted of his utmost loyalty to the Empress, was speechless upon seeing this scene.

The vision of Councillor Wind scoffed, “Excessive greed, quite in line with my stereotypes of royalty.”

After taking a few pieces of jewelry, Silvana was shocked to find that the gorgeous gown she had had the royal tailor make for her was so inhumane that it had no pockets. As a result, she could only wear several necklaces around her neck and a few rings on her fingers, and then awkwardly carry the rest of her things in her arms.

After all, for nobles, pockets are the exclusive domain of the poor. The upper class is always surrounded by servants wherever they go, so there is never a time when they carry things themselves.

However, this elegant design concept has now put Silvana in a predicament. Or perhaps it is the fault of the builder of the vault for not thinking things through. With so many guard golems at the entrance, why not put a golem specifically for moving things?

Fortunately, the flustered queen quickly noticed the guards standing there dumbfounded and immediately scolded them: "What are you standing there for?! Hurry up and move these things away!"

"His Majesty……"

Reinhardt couldn't help but speak up, "We're guards, carrying all this up will make it inconvenient to fight if we encounter the enemy..."

"Shut up!"

When Silvana saw someone dare to defy her, she immediately retorted angrily, "Just move it! This is royal property. If it gets lost here, can you take responsibility?!"

Apart from Reinhardt, the other guards obediently rushed forward to help.

However, Reinhardt noticed that while the guards were packing the treasures, they also made sure to secretly slip one or two small items into the back of their breastplates.

Councilor Wendt's illusion sneered again, and looking at his "busy" companions, Reinhardt had a fleeting thought that the royal family might as well just be destroyed.

However, he quickly calmed himself down, sighed softly, and stepped forward to help take the treasure from Silvana's arms.

"Kid, you're not really going to help move these stupid things, are you?"

Just then, Councillor Winder's voice rang in his ears.

Reinhardt glanced at Councilor Wind with a hint of surprise, as if asking, "What else can I do?"

Senator Wendt sensed what Reinhardt was thinking, and simply gave his usual kind smile. "Now is the best opportunity, boy."

"Her Majesty the Queen allowed you to approach without any precautions, while the other guards were blinded by greed, causing them to neglect their most important duties."

Reinhardt paused, still not quite understanding what Senator Wendt meant.

"The empire is engulfed in war, and the culprit is ultimately this foolish empress."

"Reinhardt, ask yourself honestly, does what you've seen her do live up to the loyalty you once placed in her, and to the people of the Empire, renowned for its glory?"

Reinhardt fell silent, his steps faltering.

What are you still standing there for??

Seeing that Reinhardt had stopped moving, Silvana's voice grew even sharper.

But all Reinhardt could hear at that moment was the gentle whisper of Senator Wendt.

"So, it's time for her to pay the price for the empire's disgrace."

"Kill her, child."

Chapter 221 The Princesses

What are you still standing there for?!

Silvana's voice rang out again, snapping the somewhat dazed Reinhardt back to his senses.

When he raised his head again, the face of the empress, whom he had once revered, now appeared inexplicably ugly.

The exquisite makeup on her beautiful face turned into an exaggerated demon in her grotesque expression, and the sharp tone of her stern rebuke was more piercing than the howl of a ghost in a deep valley.

How could this be?

In his mind, the Empress should be even more beautiful and great.

Reinhardt approached slowly, somewhat bewildered, but his hand quietly gripped the hilt of the sword.

"If anyone can save Aslan at this moment, it can only be you."

"Simply end this ugly empress here, and you will become a hero of the empire."

"Isn't that exactly what you've been dreaming of?"

Member of Parliament Wendt's voice continued to guide and persuade, just like a tireless professor.

Silvana, seemingly unaware of the impending danger, continued to angrily denounce others while clutching his overflowing treasure.

It wasn't until Reinhardt silently approached that she seemed to suddenly realize something, noticing something was wrong from the strange expression on his face.

"Wait... Reinhardt, what are you doing?!"

The scream finally attracted the attention of the other guards, but they were all busy moving the treasure and had run to the side. When they saw Reinhardt holding the hilt of his sword, it was too late for them to rush back.

"bass"

The cold light flashed as the sharp blade drew its edge, illuminating Silvana's wide, terrified eyes.

But just as the sword was about to touch Silvana's neck, a blue light burst forth, and a magical barrier suddenly appeared around Silvana, forcefully blocking Reinhardt's sword.

The barrier even released a strong recoil force, causing Reinhardt to stagger back several steps.

On the other side, Silvana collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat, her gold and silver jewelry scattered all over the floor in her arms due to her nervousness.

Reinhardt was considered one of the best in the Sky Knights, and as the most promising successor to the captain, the tangible killing intent he unleashed in that instant was something that Sylvanas, who had never even been on a real battlefield, could not withstand.

However, as the oppressive aura subsided, Silvana finally remembered that she was still the chosen one of the Earth God, and the anger of almost being beheaded by a sword immediately surged into her heart.

"Damn it!!! How dare you rebel?!"

"Why……"

Reinhardt gripped his numb wrist and saw that Sylvanas's gorgeous dress was shimmering with beautiful magical patterns.

Automatic defense spell… Reinhardt gritted his teeth, while the illusion of Councilor Wend sighed, “In the end, you hesitated, child. With your strength, the spell attached to this garment shouldn’t have stopped your sword.”

"I had high hopes for you, but to be honest, your performance has disappointed me somewhat."

"Feel sorry……"

"Reinhardt murmured."

"Who are you talking to!?"

Silvana was frightened by Reinhardt's dazed look and turned to look at the other guards.

"What are you all still holding those treasures for?! Get over here and protect me!"

"Get that damned traitor down with me right now!"

Only then did the guards belatedly drop the jewels they were carrying, draw their longswords, and rush toward Reinhardt.

Silvana dropped the treasure in her hands, pressed her hands to the floor, and the next moment several strong vines broke through the ground, swinging their thorny bodies and pulling out violently.

The chaotic commotion overturned the exquisite display cases, and Reinhardt broke out in a cold sweat, forced to dodge backward to avoid the onslaught of attacks.

But Silvana is the chosen one of the earth gods. If suddenly approached, she is a fragile mage, but if someone protects her and keeps her at a distance, the strength she can unleash is extraordinary.

Hundreds of vines, like earthworms stirring the ground, blocked Reinhardt's figure from all sides.

The highly skilled elite guards reacted quickly and displayed their skills, soon cornering Reinhardt amidst the flashing sword shadows.

"Ugh."

Perhaps realizing that his ambush had backfired, the illusion of Councilor Wendt, floating in mid-air, sighed softly.

But just then, a gentle call suddenly rang out.

"Stop! Silvana!"

The voice was so familiar that Reinhardt forgot to defend himself and turned around in surprise.

But at the entrance of the treasure vault, a tall and beautiful girl with long, light blonde hair was looking at them anxiously.

The great princess! ?

Reinhardt thought he was hallucinating because he was about to die. He stared intently at the figure in the distance, only to find that the girl's features were incredibly clear.

"S... Princess Selindra??"

The astonished shouts of the other guards also proved that what Reinhardt had seen was true.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's minds went blank; no one knew how Celinedra, who had supposedly been "dead," had suddenly appeared in this empty treasure vault.

Only the illusion of Councilor Wendt looked at the "Eldest Princess" in the distance, revealing a somewhat amused expression, and stroked his chin, "To make an entrance like this, she is indeed worthy of herself."

But at the same time, Silvana didn't care about all that, and stopped whenever she wanted, treating it like a theatrical performance.

Without hesitation, she manipulated the vines to smash down on Reinhardt's head.

"垹——"

However, the vines that lashed out did not hit Reinhardt; instead, they were blocked by a brass shield that appeared out of nowhere.

The divine power attached to the end of the vines churned the air, causing Reinhardt to stagger a few steps to the side.

Only then did Silvana finally notice that behind Serinde in the distance, a young arcane mage holding a staff followed her out.

She didn't know the young arcane mage Freya, but as the chosen one of the Earth God, she sensed the aura of divine power from the shield spell Freya had just cast from a distance.

Her face immediately turned ugly, though it wasn't looking that good to begin with, but now it looked even worse.

"Stop it, all of you! Silvana, how long are you going to keep harming your own people?!"

Celinedra cried out anxiously.

"Stop talking nonsense! That's clearly a traitor who tried to assassinate me!"

Silvana didn't have time to care how Serendra got there. For her, the situation had suddenly eased up, and seeing that she couldn't kill Reinhardt, the most important thing was to make sure that her guards wouldn't turn against her just because they saw the First Princess.

"Selenedra, this is a matter of state for our Aslan Empire. How dare you incite outsiders to interfere in our internal affairs!?"

However, when faced with criticism, Serendra responded with righteous indignation.

"The Temple of Light is a friend I invited to aid the Empire. Sylvanas, you betrayed me and Femishil at the Emerald Wall, and colluded with the Dark Cult to bring devastation to the Empire. Don't be bewitched by Sylvanas anymore, knights of the Empire, can't you see her ugly true face by now?"

The two princesses began to confront each other from a distance, while the royal guards were dumbfounded, looking left and right, not knowing who to help.

Chapter 222 Disloyal Hearts

Unable to reach an agreement, Silvana decided not to waste any more time.

She could already hear the tremors coming from above; the allied forces of the lords might have already stormed the palace.

She had to find a way to get out of there as soon as possible.

With this thought in mind, Silvana stopped wasting words with Serendra, opened one hand, and the power of the earth surged forth from his palm.

The turquoise energy swept across the ground like ribbons, leaving behind trails from which countless thick vines sprouted.

These vines transformed into a dense forest, stretching across the center of the field and separating Serendra and Freya.

"Stop her now!"

Serendra's shouts were drowned out by the clamor of vines pounding the earth, which, like wildly swinging dragons, turned the magnificent treasure into a mess.

The ground crumbled, and dust billowed. Taking advantage of this lull, Silvana disregarded the scattered treasures and ran through the dust towards the tunnel.

Just as the entrance to the secret passage was in front of her, a crescent-shaped beam of cold light suddenly streaked across the sky and struck her body.

"clang"

Silvana's queenly gown lit up with light patterns once more, releasing a barrier to block the sudden attack.

However, the impact of the sword energy still knocked her to the ground, causing her to sit down in a somewhat disheveled state.

"who is it!?"

Silvana turned her head angrily, only to see Reinhardt rush out from the billowing smoke and dust, ignoring his wounded body and slashing at her with his sword.

"damn it!!"

Silvana hastily summoned vines to shield herself, shouting, "Reinhardt, are you insane?! I am the Empress you serve!!!"

"I am loyal to the Empire, you are not worthy to be the Queen of Aslan!"

Reinhardt roared, and with a surge of magic power, he sliced ​​through the tough vines with a single sword strike.

"Get away!!"

Silvana panicked and waved her hand, summoning a large swarm of vines that surged toward Reinhardt, slapping him haphazardly without any strategy.
