Get Ahead of the Fallen Heroine and Make the Bull-Headed Man the Victim - Chapter 169
Chapter 169.
The Morning of the Evil God Noah
The next morning at 6 am, Noah woke up in a certain inn’s bed.
To be honest, he didn’t have to get up so early, and his mood was definitely not good.
However, thinking about the new main storyline that would be available tomorrow morning, he still managed to suppress his desire to sleep in and got up to eat breakfast at a nearby restaurant.
For breakfast, there was bread and milk, a very classic combination. Freshly baked bread paired with warm milk—though it couldn’t be called luxurious, it was certainly delightful.
The bakery owner and his daughter, who served as the shop’s charming face, were both very friendly, treating customers with warmth but not servility. Noah really liked the atmosphere of this place and even chatted with the two for a while.
After satisfying his hunger and thirst, Noah strolled casually down the street, mainly wanting to experience what a peaceful world felt like. This leisurely sensation brought him a sense of joy.
When he estimated that it was about time, Noah took out his pocket watch to check the time.
Oh, it was already six fifty-seven. It was about time to see how things were going; at this hour, everyone should have started their activities.
In the next moment, the black-haired youth, who had been idly standing on the street, vanished without a trace.
In his place, the dilapidated temple, which no one could enter, welcomed back its owner.
Looking at the desolate temple, which was still devoid of decorations, Noah didn’t mind. He leisurely walked towards a sofa that was completely out of place in the temple.
That was a product he had conjured with his abilities; he would put it away when someone entered and bring it out to sit on when no one was around. As long as he felt comfortable, it didn’t matter. As the master of this temple, Noah could do as he pleased.
The sofa was as soft as ever, making it hard to get up once seated. Indeed, high-end goods were comfortable, even though Noah had copied it without spending a dime.
Sitting on this sofa to read would also be quite enjoyable, but Noah restrained the impulse to read.
Instead, he closed his eyes and began to envision a certain person’s image.
White hair, pink eyes, pink highlights in the bangs, a nun’s outfit, knee-high boots, and a lewd pattern on her abdomen.
When the image of a certain nun appeared in Noah’s mind, he activated his observation ability.
When he opened his eyes again, a magical array monitor appeared in the empty space before him, showing the activities of that character.
The nun also got up early; at that moment, she was busy with other nuns preparing for the upcoming collective prayer ceremony. Unbeknownst to her, Noah was watching as she cared for elderly believers, her face adorned with a gentle and serene nun’s smile.
Though she was the youngest nun in the city, she behaved with such composure that she seemed to be seven or eight years older than her actual age.
But it was merely an appearance; once faced with something outside the rules, her true nature would be revealed, becoming emotionally rich. Noah understood this better than anyone.
It wouldn’t be impossible to keep watching her actions like this, but Noah had more important matters to attend to today.
So he closed his eyes again, sequentially imagining the images of the blonde-haired Allen, the victim Clyde, the dragon-slaying princess Agatha, the grand princess Dilia, and most importantly, the silver-haired princess Valentina.
When Noah opened his eyes again, several magical arrays appeared beside the monitor that had originally only projected the nun’s actions, each projecting the individuals he had thought of.
This ability was quite convenient, allowing him to observe the actions of people whose images he knew at any time.
However, with more people being observed, it was inevitable that he would miss something, so Noah generally wouldn’t observe so many people at once; today was an exception.
Moreover, if someone changed their appearance while Noah had his observation turned off, then when he used his ability, it would project another suitable subject instead of the original person.
This was why Noah hadn’t immediately noticed that the princess had turned into an imposter.
As for why Noah didn’t keep his ability activated all the time, which would allow him to continuously monitor the princess’s actions—his answer was simple: it wasn’t necessary.
On one hand, activating the observation ability was very convenient; he just had to close his eyes, think of someone, and then activate the ability.
Since it was so convenient, there was no need to keep it on all the time; he could just activate it when he wanted to.
On the other hand, Noah hadn’t actually considered that the princess would cause trouble while he was resting in the middle of the night.

It was a stroke of luck that a gap had been found.
Princess realized that Noah wasn’t always watching her.
However, this was actually a comforting development for Noah.
After all, once the victim had sent off the blonde, it was time to send off this evil god.
The princess’s display of resistance indicated that she had already found a way to break free from Noah’s constraints, which was very good.
Originally, Noah had planned that after this main storyline event concluded, he would deliberately spread rumors of a magic capable of sealing evil gods to entice the princess to seek it out, then pretend to look down on that magic only to be backstabbed by the princess.
Her proactive resistance against the ‘evil god’ was more than enough to make Noah happy.
…But then again, since Allen had already begun to take action, even going so far as to send someone to ‘invite’ Clyde to the palace to watch how he would flaunt the princess in front of him.
It was necessary for Noah to see what the real princess was up to.
Although observational abilities required knowing the target’s appearance to observe.
Otherwise, it was like using an electronic map, first finding the coordinates, then identifying a specific object as the ‘observation target’ within the displayed image.
But Noah could also input specific values to search for particular individuals.
After all, even if someone was disguised, certain things wouldn’t change, like height, weight, and… measurements.
Unfortunately, as the female lead, the princess’s basic settings could be directly written into the game; others might not know, but Noah was very clear on the specific values.
There might indeed be others with the same values, but as long as he eliminated them one by one, he could find the real princess.
What Noah mentioned earlier might take some time, but it meant that he could find her using this method.
After spending a full three minutes, Noah finally found Valentina after successfully eliminating twelve incorrect options.
“…Found her! This face is undoubtedly the real deal! Ha, so she’s wearing a purple wig.”
When he saw the disguised princess sneaking into the palace, her own home, a pleasant smile finally appeared on Noah’s face.
“Oh? Sneaking in wearing a maid’s outfit, so she plans to observe the duel between Allen and Clyde as a maid? Quite the taste, Princess!”

Noah smiled like a playwright directing this drama, observing the magical array monitors of several characters before him.
Time ticked away.
Finally, Allen used magic to put several royals, including the king and queen, to sleep, binding them to the ground in front of the throne, while he arrogantly sat on the throne with a wicked grin, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the princess and the victim.
“Finally here, Tina, Clyde-kun, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
As the blonde Allen sitting on the throne spoke these words.
Noah could hardly wait to stop observing through the monitor and rushed to the scene to witness the entire farce with his own eyes.
Because basically, the targets he had just observed were now all gathered in the throne hall of the palace.
