I Became a Childhood Friend With the Villainous Saintess - Chapter 170



170 – Meeting (5)

“I’m looking for it. Are you talking about the time we met at the Mansinjeon?”

“Yes. I was wondering if the work you were doing was finished well.”

“It’s all finished now and I’m sending it faithfully. The Mansinjeon’s library has been a great help.”

“I see. I’m glad it worked out for you. If you need any help in the future, please let me know.”

It was a long time ago, but you were paying attention to it?

Just like last time, you seem to be strangely interested in this situation.

It wasn’t until after Ellis that Achilles began to turn against us.

Or is there another reason?

Achilles was still an uneasy character to me.

This time too, the usual ‘intuition’ was ringing the alarm bell without fail, and because of that, every single action seemed suspicious.

Because they were enemies in the original? No. That couldn’t have been the case.

Because I already have counter-examples like Darssian and the Crown Prince.

Especially, the crown prince, who is not yet a perfect ally, did not feel this uneasy.

It might sound ridiculous to think this way based on intuition alone, but… … there’s something fishy about Acleron.

It was difficult to shake off that feeling.

“Still, since we’ve met like this, I’d like to hear your thoughts in advance. What is the position of the Temes Church?”

“We always stick to one standard. Are the demons a race that can keep discipline? If we continue to only cry out for the survival of the fittest like we do now, aren’t we no different from beasts?”

“That’s a worthy answer from the Order of Order.”

Achilles maintained the same attitude as in the original.

As Sirien said, it is a position befitting the Order of Order. However, that interpretation was entirely to suit Ackleon’s own taste.

There is no discipline among the demons.

This was the conclusion that Achilles reached during his first meeting with Gamigin.

All they have is the instinct of survival of the fittest.

Even though they appear to be law-abiding, in reality they are only following the orders of the Demon King.

Accleon’s argument was that order is the realm of reason and rationality, and that fear dominated by fear cannot be called order.

So in the original, Ellis had to convince Achilles herself.

If Acleron had maintained the same attitude until the end, the peace treaty with the Demons would not have even begun.

The first wall Ellis encountered was actually Achilles.

– No matter what the Saint of Light says, my thoughts will not change. Faith is following one’s own convictions. You will not be able to break my will with authority.

– I didn’t come here to show off my authority. I came here to persuade you properly.

– Will you teach me, the saint of Temes, order?

– I’m not teaching you. I’m talking to you. Even if it means staying up all night.

– … … I don’t think you’ll listen even if I tell you to go back. I’ll get the car out for a moment.

What was the debate about?

It wasn’t that fresh. From the beginning, the law was something that the state monopolized power and forced choices on…

Didn’t they originally say that a character’s intelligence cannot exceed the writer’s intelligence?

The author didn’t seem to have the talent to write a long article on such a topic, so he just skipped over the content at an appropriate point.

But this.

If you think about it, it’s a little strange.

From noble mtl dot com

The original Alice. She lived in Korea under the name ‘Soyeon’ and was just an ordinary part-time worker.

Although the exact age is not mentioned, it is a good guess that he is a high school or college student.

If Soyeon was truly a great and smart person, wouldn’t she have appeared as an elite, like a career woman at a large corporation or a lawyer?

However, ‘The Saint’s Harem is Impure!’ was not a novel that set the main character as a genius, as its name suggests.

Quite the contrary, Ellis often failed and faced adversity.

The main plot of the novel was about her being comforted by the male leads and living a happy life.

“Faith must be negative, right?”

“Of course. Our goddess does not grant divinity to the demon race. She cannot acknowledge a race that has no faith. Isn’t that the same for you? Illencia… … has been fighting for a long time.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Isabelle also has the same attitude as the original.

From the beginning, that side had such exclusive doctrines that it caused a lot of friction with other religious groups.

But a race that can’t even enter the church? It was clear that the relationship between Lobelia and the Demon Race would remain parallel forever.

There are already three negative figures in the talks.

There is always a reason for a long war. Even things that seem irrational and inefficient have causes if you look back.

A mere Korean part-timer ended that war? And he did it by persuading the saint of order?

A foul smell wafted through the air.

Now I know. The original story is just what is revealed on the surface.

There must have been other circumstances behind the scenes.

It seemed like quite some time had passed while the three of them chatted briefly.

The royal chamberlain shouted loudly.

“The sun of the empire. His Majesty the Emperor drinks it!”

* * *

At lunch with the Emperor, the same story that had been told before was repeated.

The Demons are untrustworthy. Peace with them is premature.

What should be sought from this meeting are practical gains, not vague values ​​like peace.

As things went as expected, there wasn’t much of a story to tell.

There was no way there could be any progress since even the Emperor thought of it as some kind of political show.

Now there was only one thing left for me to do. Just like when I went on a pilgrimage with Gamigin, I was in charge of guarding the villa.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you? Do you know how sad I was when I couldn’t see you?”

“It seems like you’re doing well, considering all that.”

“The Empire is a much better place than I thought. I don’t understand why they don’t let you go outside, even if it’s a bit unpleasant. Look, there are so many amazing things.”

“I don’t find it particularly strange that you brag to me about being at Edelmarion.”

“Oh, I see… … .”

Gamigin seemed to like life at the villa.

This dangerous demon could not be allowed to roam the streets, but the Emperor could not imprison a guest of his.

In the end, it seemed like he was appeasing Gamigin by bringing whatever he wanted to do or eat to this villa.

“But what’s going on? Even the Archduke Illencia, who I always watch over, is gone. Weren’t you supposed to be the Archduke’s personal escort?”

“The escort is now being handled by another trustworthy person. The guarding of the villa was originally supposed to be done in rotation. It’s just my turn.”

“Huh, really? I thought you were finally interested in me.”

“That won’t happen.”

As expected, Gamigin started to squirm as soon as he saw me.

When I flicked away the hand that was approaching my body, he glared at me as if his pride was hurt.

If someone had seen it, they would have thought, ‘Are you angry?’, but it didn’t bother me.

That girl didn’t have enough pride to get upset over something like this.

– Did you say Licia? Gamigin is very close with that maid. They must have been friends for a long time.

– Yes, we have been together for a long time. We have a passionate relationship. Sometimes, he even becomes my lover?

– Hey, your lover?

– Yes. Even though she may look so gentle now, she is merciless at night. She grabs my hair tightly and makes me bark like a dog. The humiliation of being ruled by a maid who is much lower than me. When you experience it, your heart races, right?

– Eek. I don’t know… … .

The one who treated Ellis most sincerely was Crown Prince Karzan Edelmar.

But the one who treated Ellis the most stickily was Gamigin.

Perhaps the most s*xually suggestive lines in the original work came from Gamigin’s mouth?

If the male lead says something like that, it’s a plot twist, but if Gamigin says it, it becomes a dirty joke.

It was a privilege that the female characters in reverse harem stories had.

“This is really annoying. You don’t even see people like me?”

“Isn’t it time to stop now? I know you don’t care. It’s just tiring for both of us.”

“Oh, my. I’m doing this because I feel like it.”

“That can’t be. Share your love with that maid, and just tell me your true feelings. What do you want from me that makes you do this?”

“… … What? If you knew everything, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

The maid who was attending to Gamigin. Lisia shuddered.

I didn’t bother to look at her. No matter how she reacted, it was really Gamigin.

The Demon King of the Abyss lost his grinning expression.

As expected, I couldn’t read anything from Gamigin’s expression.

An abyss with no end in sight. I boldly gave up on what I couldn’t do.

“Because I wasn’t the only one. Even if I go around telling people I know about you, it’s just a hassle to explain.”

“You’re slowly letting your words go. Well, that’s good. I like it when the conversation speeds up.”

As Gamigin waved his arms, all the other demons left the room.

The Demon King asked me.

“You. What on earth are you?”
