After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

His Royal Highness the Prince's expression became increasingly puzzled.

His thoughts at this moment were very similar to Aize's thoughts before he figured out the situation, that is, he had no idea what this woman was trying to do.

So soon, he gave up thinking, just like Aize before.

"Since Lady Rosalin insists, I would like to thank the Church of the Supreme God and everyone from the Pure White Saint Sect on behalf of the entire empire."

Based on the most simple understanding of a smart person, he believed that Rosaline would not send those believers who were loyal to her to die for no reason.

Coupled with the riots in the Holy City planned by Rosaline, it seemed too explosive.

Maybe... she actually has some secret killer weapons that she herself doesn't know about? Even those shabby guys who try to pretend to be the Jihad Army actually have something?

Then give it a try.

To be honest, after sorting out the situation, and looking at Adrian's mental activities from an outsider's perspective, Aizena felt both sympathetic and funny.

He didn't stop it either.

On the one hand, as the chanting continued, Rosalyn was visibly becoming unhappy.

If nothing works after a long time of talking, this guy might get mad and kill the prince. That would cause a huge mess, so just accept it. It doesn't really matter.

On the other hand, from the most cold-blooded perspective, Aize also wanted to see how these believers who were directly connected to the faith network would react when the illusions they deeply believed in were broken.

What kind of impact will it have on Rosalynn and the entire network?

If possible, Aize didn't want to make this choice, but the matter was serious and there was no other choice.

So, for now, don’t say anything more and just watch quietly.

At this point, the two most important additional topics have been discussed.

The meeting was then dissolved, and Adrian and his guards, including Lysander, left the castle with the same ferocity as when they arrived.

Together with Rosaline's Crusade Army, they would advance to the attack position within two days before the expedition.

Aize and others will follow the combat forces under Marquis Karside and enter the scene later.

In other words, if she let the person go today, Villian would not have another chance to attack Rosaline until the situation worsened.

"Rosaline, wait a moment."

So, after preparing himself mentally, Aize chased to the gate of the castle and stopped the other person who was about to get in the car.

The pure white saint paused for a moment, then turned around and responded with a smile:

"What's wrong, Aize? Is there something wrong?"

"You said that night that you wanted me to develop an attack plan for your Crusade Army. I've already done it. If you have some free time now, would you mind chatting?"

Rosa's eyes widened slightly, and her smile visibly brightened.

Is this joy and surprise?

rare.

"Well, you actually did it? Haha, seeing how you behaved that night, I thought you wouldn't be willing to help me."

“Why wouldn’t I do something that benefits humanity?”

Aize remained calm.

"Then... let's talk in the study. It'll be more convenient to explain there."

"Okay, of course no problem~"

After successfully deceiving the target, Aize nodded to the reverse Villian in a maid outfit.

The latter immediately understood, returned a look, and followed closely behind.

Enter the study, close the door and lock it.

Aize pulled an envelope from his coat pocket, opened it, and spread the contents out on the table.

It is a map of the surrounding area, with a large number of markings in various colors.

Rosalyn rested her staff on the armrest of her chair and leaned forward slightly.

"This is?"

"I commissioned the local Adventurer's Guild to conduct reconnaissance on the orc army in the direction of Lilbas. They gave me the results this morning."

Aize said, gesturing on it with his fingers.

"This is the orcs' first line of defense. Reports indicate it's primarily composed of temporary orc tribesmen, pure new recruits. They'll be deployed along the ruins of the former Orlo Village. Once it begins, you should..."

Although it is for fishing, the tactics themselves are not fake.

However, due to the poor quality of the staff, it is impossible to do it perfectly, and the loss estimate cannot be reduced in any way.

For Aize, the plan to have this kind of experience was disgusting.

Of course it doesn't matter anymore.

Because while Rosaline was concentrating on looking at the map and listening to the narration, Aize had already picked up a cup of coffee from the person on the table and slowly raised it over the head of the White Saint.

Chapter 68 Planning

"Combat, as the saying goes, is about making the most of your own strengths to exploit the enemy's weaknesses. The advantage of your Crusades... well, it makes the enemy more likely to be careless, so..."

The tactical explanation continued, and Rosalyn's attention became increasingly focused on the map.

Seizing this opportunity, Aize gently released his hand that was hanging in the air.

Snapped--

There was a slight clatter as the coffee cup fell and hit Rosalyn on the head.

The slightly steaming black liquid that filled it instantly splashed out, leaving large and extremely discordant black marks on Rosaline's beautiful white hair and white clothes.

"……well?"

The Holy Female Warrior, who had not yet recovered from her shock, subconsciously raised her head in confusion, staring blankly at Aize through her bangs that were still dripping with liquid.

Aize quickly began to perform:

"Sorry, sorry! I was so focused on the map that I accidentally did this... Towel, hurry up and get a towel!"

"Understood, I'll go right away!"

Villian, who was serving as the head maid, immediately rushed out of the room, then quickly returned and covered Rosaline with a towel.

One wiped it, and another said in an exaggerated voice:

"Oh no! The clothes are already stained! It's not enough to just wipe them off. How about you take them off, Lady Rosalyn, and I'll wash them for you?"

Aize immediately went around to Rosaline's proof, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head to apologize:

"I'm sorry! It was all my fault!"

"……what?"

Rosalyn raised her eyes slightly, as if looking at the liquid dripping down her hair.

The smile on her face did not waver. After brushing her wet bangs, she responded:

"No, don't mind it. Careless things are bound to happen. Besides, it's all for my battle plan. There's nothing to apologize for."

"But... this won't work, right? Aren't you supposed to be joining up with the Crusade Army and heading straight to the front lines soon? What are we supposed to do now?"

Rosalyn looked down at the mess of clothes, still smiling and shaking her head:

"There's nothing we can do. Let's just go with it. Don't worry, the members of the Pure White Saint Sect won't care about these insignificant details."

The clothes were soaked and steaming, and were stained with an unknown color. This is not a detail at all, right?

"No, that won't do! Even if we don't consider the members of the sect, there's still the liaison officer sent by the Imperial Army to your place. It wouldn't look good if someone saw us like this. Otherwise..."

Aize's eyes rolled.

"I'll have someone wash the clothes right now, and then use some magic to dry them. It'll be quick. How about you take a bath while you're here?"

At this point, the truth is revealed.

To have direct physical contact for twenty minutes without being discovered is impossible, even if Rosaline is considered relatively slow among the heroes.

Not to mention that Villian is not an assassin-type character.

Therefore, it is necessary to create an environment or situation where physical contact is justified.

Considering Villian's identity as a servant disguised as the head maid, this approach is the best.

The only risk is that Rosaline, who was splashed with coffee, might become furious, causing Aize to be splashed with water again or even be stabbed in a life-threatening situation.

But he had no choice.

I cooled the coffee down a bit so it wouldn't be too hot.

There was no added sugar to prevent it from being too sticky.

There are only two ways to reduce your anger appropriately. What happens next depends on your luck.

Fortunately, there seems to be no problem at the moment, but we cannot let our guard down.

Be careful throughout the next day.

Rosaline herself certainly didn't know about Aize's plans.

After taking a few more glances at the clothes and a moment's thought, the white hero nodded.

"Then I'll trouble you."

"What are you talking about? It's my fault in the first place, so don't be polite."

Pretending to be cheerful, Aize snapped his fingers.

"Vir, go make the arrangements."

"Yes, Master."

Miss Witch immediately began her next move.

The two men took Rosaline to a room in the castle that was used as a simple bathroom.

Under the command of their master, the puppet maids had already driven away the original servants in the castle and prepared hot water, bathtubs, towels, etc.

Then I took Rosalyn's coat to be washed, and everything went smoothly.

Aize, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but clench his fists.

Next, as long as this guy lies down, Valerie will cast the spell as if to serve him, and this troublesome matter will be over...

"Aize."

Rosalyn's voice suddenly came from inside.

Aize curled his lips, quickly pinched his face to put away his smile, replaced it with the same apologetic smile as before, and replied in a voice that matched it:

"I'm here. What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with anything?"

"No, I'm not dissatisfied. It's just that I've already wasted a lot of time showering and washing clothes. When I get out, I'll probably have to leave directly to reunite with the sect."

"Yeah, I guess so."

"So, come in now and take this opportunity to finish the topic you just left unfinished."

"……what?"

Now it was Aize's turn to glare.

It was also at this time that the sound of water, the movement of something sinking into it, and the rushing hot air came from the slightly open door of the room.

The smoke made Aize a little dazed for a moment.

"Haha, what's the matter? We are teammates, there's no need to be so formal, right?"

At this point, he brought up his teammate's identity to talk about this matter. Listening to it, Aize felt mixed emotions.

But from the perspective of the situation, this is not a bad thing.

If he could use positive talk therapy, he could further attract her attention, making it more difficult for Vivian's little tricks behind her back to be discovered.

Then... let’s go ahead.

"Okay, here I come."
