Fu Sang leaned back against the boy's hard silver armor.
“Cassius, I can’t just ignore everyone.”
The boy's thin, handsome lips were pressed into a straight line, and his red eyes darkened slightly.
He wanted to only let His Highness...
She only had eyes for him.
But we can't do that.
The appearance of the Knights of Light reversed the situation.
Soon, the powerful knights annihilated the Dark Knight, and the entire city's inhabitants were safe.
This devastating disaster was averted.
The surviving citizens embraced each other, grateful to have survived.
After the Dark Knights were killed, many plumes of black smoke escaped from their bodies.
Karina spread her arms, and an immense pressure rippled outwards.
A magic circle instantly formed around them, locking all the black mist inside the cage.
The black mist emitted a sharp, shrill cry, a terrifying sound that pierced people's eardrums.
"Hmph!" Karina sneered.
She extended her fair and delicate hand and formed a hand seal, which instantly dispelled the black mist.
Everything returned to calm.
Frank led the Knights to the altar.
High Priestess Karina also flew to Vousang's side.
The esteemed Knight Commander and High Priest of the Empire.
They all knelt down, bowing their heads respectfully to the stunningly beautiful girl.
"Your Highness."
The people, embracing each other, looked at the girl bowing to the two adults.
The 'goddess' girl who just saved them.
She is the true Holy Maiden.
The people quickly knelt down and worshipped the girl devoutly.
"Your Highness..."
Fu Sang took a step forward and said calmly, "Get up, all of you."
Under a clear sky, a beautiful young girl stood on the sacrificial altar.
Her gaze swept indifferently over her 'possessions'.
Knights, priests, and subjects.
They've all returned.
All that's left is to return to the capital and reclaim the throne.
Karina waved her hand, and the disheveled Diana was controlled by magic, flying to the girl and kneeling down.
"Your face..."
A look of disgust flashed in the High Priest's eyes.
Diana felt a burning pain on her face and couldn't help but scream in agony.
"Ah—my face—"
In front of everyone.
The magic on Diana's face failed.
In the blink of an eye, the counterfeit products were exposed as genuine.
The people cried out in alarm.
"She really was an imposter; she even used magic to imitate Her Highness the Saintess's face..."
"What a disgusting woman, we were all fooled by her..."
"Your Highness, execute her immediately!"
The deceived people cried out in hatred.
Fusang raised his hand to signal people to be quiet.
"Waaaaah...it hurts so much..."
Diana covered her face and wept bitterly.
Fu Sang looked at the disheveled and ugly woman with a detached expression.
“Diana, you have done many things that have harmed the Kalmar Empire. If you tell everything, the Temple of Light will forgive you…”
Knight Commander Frank and High Priestess Karina.
Unbeknownst to him, he had become the Queen's subordinate.
Everything is already set in stone.
Diana's humble pleas for mercy.
"Your Highness, please forgive my sins..."
“It was all Harold’s doing. He forced me to replace you and make me use the Temple of Light to do his bidding.”
"He made a pact with the demons, led the Dark Knights in a rebellion, and killed the king..."
When the truth is told.
All the people and knights gasped.
The chief knight of the Kalmar Empire has actually signed a pact with a demon.
And—they killed the king!
