“I told you before, Aurelion.”
"I am the messenger of the evil god."
Vega, hiding behind him, couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling somewhat speechless.
Back when you were in a position of great power, why did you never mention that you were a servant of an evil god?
So now, when they do bad things, they start calling themselves messengers of evil gods?
I must say, that excuse is actually quite useful.
No matter what wrong things he did, Victor only needed to add, "I am the messenger of the evil god."
Then all the actions seem reasonable.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Aurelion's eyes widened slightly, a deep sense of confusion welling up in her pupils.
Seeing that his words had worked, Viktor continued:
"I have returned to the Empire this time for only one thing."
"This country no longer needs an emperor."
Upon hearing this, Aurelion's star-like eyes instantly narrowed.
She asked in a low, trembling voice:
"What's the meaning?"
"Literal meaning."
Victor, with his hands in his pockets, calmly replied:
"You probably don't know what secrets are hidden in this basement beneath the throne."
Seeing the growing gloom and confusion shrouding Aurelion's eyes, he hesitated to respond.
Victor then began to reveal the truth to her in the tone of a typical villain:
“Every statue of emperors here embodies the ‘faith’ accumulated by your royal family over the years in the Karencia Empire.”
"What I am doing now is taking away the faith of these emperors and cutting off the inheritance of your Saul family at its root."
Seeing Aurelion's expression grow increasingly somber, he continued calmly:
"I also want to thank you. If it weren't for your desire to marry me, I wouldn't have been able to get in here so easily."
"Enter this 'royal tomb' that only members of the royal family can enter."
As these words fell, Aurelion seemed to be jolted in the heart.
At this moment, her head was completely lowered, so much so that Victor could not see any expression on her face.
Viktor thought to himself, this really does have a villainous style.
To make the story more believable and to lay the groundwork for Vega's future as the 'Emperor' of the Karencia Empire,
This also deepened Aurelion's aversion to 'gods'.
Victor decided to say a few more words.
"Karencia is a country that doesn't need gods at all; its essence lies in the 'emperors' that you have passed down from generation to generation."
“As a messenger of the evil god, in order for the faith of my lord to descend upon the entire empire, the faith of the ‘emperor’ must disappear.”
“In my plan, Aurelion, you are nothing more than a simple obstacle.”
Victor stood still, silently watching Aurelion.
She never raised her head, maintaining that extremely somber posture.
Even Victor could clearly see that her hands, which had been hanging at her sides, were clenched into fists.
Seeing this, Viktor couldn't help but ponder.
Was he being too harsh?
However... if we don't say it this way, Aurelion will indeed never be able to grow.
Aurelion had grown into an outstanding emperor during the ten years he was missing.
But Victor discovered that ever since Aurelion learned of his return to Earth...
Her thoughts were no longer on how to become stronger or govern the country better.
Instead, he was thinking about how to get him.
This is undoubtedly a huge waste of Aurelion's talent.
So even now, facing Aurelion's almost broken expression, Viktor remained completely unmoved.
He still had his hands in his pockets, his head slightly tilted back, looking down at the empress with a haughty and indifferent air.
"So you really won't resist?"
"Then, I will take all of these powers with me."
This statement was merely a provocation; Victor was simply trying to provoke Aurelion's fighting spirit.
As a teacher with a fairly strong sense of responsibility, Viktor has done his best.
Now, it remains to be seen how Aurelion will respond.
She chose to hate him and see him as an enemy.
They took the initiative to attack him under the pretext of expelling the gods.
Either way, the result Viktor desires will be achieved.
However, to Viktor's surprise...
Aurelion slowly loosened her clenched fist, blood dripping from her palm as her nails dug deep into her flesh.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes veiled with shimmering tears, as if they were about to burst forth like a flood.
At the same time, intense resentment climbed onto her face and flowed into her pupils along with her tears.
"So...you promised to be with me before,"
"From the very beginning, they've been deceiving me,"
"Is it right?"
