The plan I originally devised was sothing like this,
I would stick around Saintess Bianca to suppress her [Charm Monopoly (SSS)] skill, and gradually reduce her popularity. Thus, the presence of Princess Sahar and Aracelli would increase.
It had been more than two months since I ca here. And I think I’d done quite a lot of work in that span of ti.
Just the other day, Princess Sahar successfully beca an ‘incarnation of justice’ after wrapping up the [Fallen Angel] episode. And Bianca’s popularity plumted further thanks to Aracelli’s brilliant debut.
That accident wasn’t the only one, there were also quite a lot of other events that took place since then. and each ti, I thought I was pretty successful in shaving Bianca’s popularity.
However, not everything in this world would move according to my plan.
My current thod wasn’t enough to make a significant dent in Bianca’s popularity which she had built for a year after her transmigration. Her popularity around the Empire was as high as Eiffel Tower, as she was loved by virtually everyone.
And in order to bring her down, I need a more efficient way.
As soone who lived in Korea, and had watched 9 o’clock news for the last 30 years. There were several thods that I could think of, such as, spreading false facts, nasty rumors or even fabricating a non-existent story that could affect Bianca’s daily life.
However, I couldn’t use those thods. In order to reestablish Princess Sahar as ‘Child of Goddess’ and at the sa ti, reducing the power that Bianca held as a Saintess, so that she could not use ‘regression’, I need sothing more political…. But I simply couldn’t think of anything right now.
At first glance, the protagonist hunting mission might look like just another mission with slightly better rewards. However, it actually had a trendous risk that follows along. Which is, it was almost impossible for to return to Earth if I failed the hunt.
Excluding the hunt of Supre Dharma, the other missions that I received so far always had a high success rate. But lately, the success rate has beco quite frustrating. In particular, in this mission, Saintess Bianca was the worst protagonist I ever t.
I had to admit, for soone like , who only trained my hunting skills throughout my life, Saintess Bianca, who was quite skillful in terms of politics and fa managent, was like a four-dinsional wall that could not be overco.
“Knight Yoo Seodam?”
“Yes?”
I turned my head towards Bianca who called . Even though right now I was enjoying the sight of cherry blossoms together with a beautiful woman at the lakeside, I couldn’t help but feel miserable.
“Have you thought about the suggestion I told you before?”
“Ah.”
So ti ago, she asked to be her guardian knight. In other words, she asked to abandon Princess Sahar. And if I do that, Princess Sahar would cut my body into two parts. Am I crazy enough to accept sothing like that? Of course not.
“I’m sorry to say this because of our relationship, but I’m sorry, I cannot abandon my master.”
“Ah….. I see. Seeing how loyal you are, I think you are a true knight of this era.”
The two of us really have no interest in each other. We just approached each other in order to use each other. It was obvious to tell just by looking at her bloody eyes.
So, the quite tense date continued. However, soone with pale countenance suddenly appeared from the bush.
“It seems like both of you are enjoying your date…”
It was Emperor Serael.
For a second, thanks to his sharp eyes and bright red lips that look like he just finished drinking blood, I thought he was a vampire. But in the next mont, I was already kneeling on my knees with my hand crossing to my chest. And said in a chanical voice, “I see the Highest Sun of the Empire.”
This was the etiquette to greet the Emperor in this country.
Serael slowly looked between and Bianca before spitting out so words
“Are you happy?”
“…….!!”
Bianca’s complexion quickly turned pale. I also started sweating as I had a hard ti enduring this thrilling atmosphere.
‘Oh my God.’
Even in romance-fantasy genre, jealousy between one male-lead and the other was nothing but a common cliché. There should be no cases where other male-lead intrudes during a ‘date’ like this. Moreover I was not one of the male-lead, and Bianca was soone who was completely protected by protagonist correction.
I think this developnt was the result of breaking the protagonist correction.
“Yo..Yo..Your Majesty. Well, this is…”
Seeing the confusion on Bianca’s face, an idea suddenly ca to my mind.
It’s a very, very dangerous idea, but if I pulled it right, there’s a chance it would have pretty good effect.
If I did sothing wrong, I may be in trouble… But there’s no other way left for . It was make it or break it now.
I tried to hide the cold sweat that ran on my body and said.
“Your Majesty, Saintess Bianca and I are lovers.”
“…What?! That, what are you talking about!”
Of course, it was a lie. There’s no way we were lovers when we didn’t even have any interest in each other. We only enjoyed eting each other on a date. But, like people said, politics could only be won by those who instigate and fabricate.
“Why do you…? Saintess Bianca, have you forgotten your promise at that ti?”
“Oh, no. No, that’s not it… But did we have anything going on between us??”
“Then! what about all the ti we’d spent together?”
I wonder what her answer will be?
When I lifted my head and looked at the emperor, he was also looking at with a terrifying expression. After that, he looked at Bianca. If the situation had been the sa as before, Serael would have felt endless love for Bianca no matter what happens. But because of my interference, the [Charm Monopoly (SSS)] skill couldn’t work properly. So, his feelings should be in a ss right now.
“Bianca… Is that true? What the knight said, is it true?”
“It’s not true, Your Majesty!”
Whether it was true or not, it doesn’t matter anymore. The important thing was that the Saintess was caught having a date on the lakeside with . and it was obvious that there was no need to talk about whose words were more credible.
“Saintess…. Were all the tis we’ve been together is nothing but a lie?”
In addition to that, what if I act like an abandoned dog?
“Ah, ah….”
Looks like my gamble worked rather well.
* * *
The plan completely changed.
In every mission, I had always been pursuing the safest and most effective way. But now, I had to take a completely different approach, a high risk and high return.
This thod certainly had a high risk. I could be buried by the male-lead both literally and politically… But what can I do? I had no thod left, it was either sink or swim.
So I’ll use it. The fastest way to bury a celebrity, a scandal!
On top of it, it was an ‘infidelity’ scandal.
“Really? Is that true? To think Saintess Bianca is having an affair…….”
“I told you it’s true. Fyuh… and it wasn’t only one or two tis.”
“Shh. The knight over there was also managed by the Saintess-nim…”
Of course, since the Saintess wasn’t married yet, it couldn’t be called an affair, but that was why the whole thing was rather exciting for the bystanders.
A Saintess who must stay away from n, actually had secret encounters with nurous n? In an empire where there’s no news and no gas, could there be any gossip more interesting than this?
“Ah! You know, I saw Saintess Bianca having a date with the Tower Master too….”
“Seriously? I heard she also went for a walk to Sahalen Garden with the Pope?”
Only after the rumor spread like a wildfire did Aracelli told that all the male-lead had noticed Bianca’s relationship even before the rumor started.
“What? You told them? You crazy…..”
“Yeah. I did that because Professor kept making do sothing weird.”
“I an, I’m aware that I was a little bit out of the line, but how could you tigger those crazy-for-love bastards…?”
At first, I was very taken aback. But after pondering about the situation, it could certainly be used. I am soone who was very tough and persistent and knew how to eat the rice cake that was given to .
‘Let’s spread the rumor more.’
The main purpose was to do so damage to Bianca’s fa by using people’s mouth. And the real goal was to get the rumors into the ears of the ‘male-lead’.
Bianca, who they thought as their own woman, turned out to be playing around with five guys at the sa ti. It was natural the fire fell on the feet of the male-lead.
“Tsk tsk. I know it would turn out like this.”
“There was no woman around her. Did she try to fill it all with n?”
Even such insignificant facts that are usually taken for granted beco a delicious prey for the bystander. I thought about it once again and beca certain. Rumor breeds another rumor. And as the rumor spreads more, people will no longer care for the ‘fact’.
People literally bite on everything because It was sothing they enjoy.
I didn’t feel sorry towards Bianca at all. Because, it was exactly the sa things she did to Princess Sahar. She just… reap what she had sown.
“Hmmm…….”
On my way back to the duchess residence, a single note was delivered to . On it, beautiful writing could be found.
[Please co to this place at the ti when the sun sinks in the clouds!]
It was a note from Saintess Bianca.
The location of their eting would be the third temple which is located on the outskirts of the capital. It was a desolate place which was rarely visited by people.
This place was prepared by Bianca to et . Perhaps because of the rumors that were circulating all over the empire, she tried to find rather quickly.
‘I was wondering where she hid, but she was there?’
Well, in this situation, it was natural for her to find first. However, I still didn’t know what her purpose was.. Is it perhaps to rely on ? or to reprimand and scrutinize ?
She called ‘secretly’. And, in common sense, it would be normal for to go ‘secretly’ unless I want to die in a fight between the Emperor, the Tower Lord, the World’s Best Swordsman, and the Pope.
But unfortunately, I wasn’t a normal knight, and I had no intention of eting her ‘secretly’.
I walked with very imposing steps until just a few ters away from the eting location. Then, I pretended to ‘sneak’ and entered the secret eting place of her and .
In this temple which was built around 100 years ago, I could see vines growing on the walls and also moss-like things between the pillars that are broken in half.
With the hue of setting over the horizon, the black-haired lady really received a lot of buffs for her appearance today.
“Saintess, you are here. I really miss you.”
Saying that, I approached Bianca and stroked her cheek.
This scene could have been a very, very romantic scene.…….. If it weren’t for the four male-lead who suddenly appeared.
“Huh…Huh..?”
Saintess Bianca took a step back. Her eyes bulged as wide as the Pacific Ocean.
They appeared in the temple very quietly.
The Tower Master was floating in the sky, the swordmaster sat on the broken pillar with stern expression, the Emperor confidently opened the front door and slowly walked in, and the Pope was leaning on the statue of the goddess.
…..Wow. I put great effort into the scene earlier because I was afraid that they weren’t the male-leads. But look at them, do they think it’s cool to be so pretentious and openly show-off their powers like that?
“Ah! Your Majesty the Emperor? Even Your holiness, the Pope?”
I acted like I was seriously taken aback and stepped back. Then, I slipped my hand into the handle of the ether blade.
From here and on it has beco really irreversible.
“Saintess, didn’t you promise your love?”
“You’re talking bullsh*t, Pope. She decided to look only at . If you say so bullsh*t again, I’ll cut your lips.”
“Bianca…. My fiance. Just what the hell happened? Were all the brilliant and beautiful mories that blossod between us… Was it all false?”
“Tower Master. Saintess Bianca has not blossod mories with you, so please quietly withdraw.”
Bianca’s complexion beca paler at every ticking mont. The four male-leads poured out their energy and the atmosphere quickly beca bloody.
[Warning! A strong clash of probability is expected!]
[The protagonist hunter is advised to leave promptly!]
I swallowed my saliva. The Saintess was slowly stepping back as she muttered sothing.
I couldn’t hear what she said in detail, all I could hear was “Yes. I have to start over…” and she was looking sowhere.
I don’t know what she’s thinking, but I couldn’t let it be. When I took out my ether sword to stop her, soone pointed a sword to my neck.
It was the World’s Best Swordsman, Sodier.
“Where are you going?”
“…..haha.”
I laughed wryly. I feel like I’m going to be caught up in the dog fight too.
