The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

After Miriam left, Leon also left the room and then went to the prayer hall of the Cathedral of Holy Light.

The prayer hall is open to the public. It is very spacious and has many tourists as well as believers who come to pray to the goddess.

At the very top of the prayer hall stands a huge statue, a deity.

The statue depicts a beautiful woman with long hair, clad in armor and styled in an elaborate braid. A veil covers her high nose, obscuring her eyes. She holds her head high, her left hand aloft a scale for measuring mass, and her right hand grips a sword of judgment with its tip pointing upwards.

Even if it wasn't explicitly stated, it's not hard to guess that this beauty is the Goddess of Justice.

As for whether the Goddess of Justice looks like this, Leon doesn't know, since he has never seen a god, and the Goddess of Justice never appeared in the original series.

Actually, the story of this anime is not finished. Feng Aotian only played through it once. It is said that there was going to be a second season, but the creator of this anime died suddenly, so it was canceled.

Nevertheless, Leon believed that the Goddess of Justice could not possibly look like that, and that this phenomenon was most likely a figment of the imagination of the early believers.

After all, it's unclear whether there's a distinction between men and women at the level of gods. Moreover, gods are mythical beings, so how can you be sure that gods would look like humans? Maybe they are as ugly as those known distorted mythical beings?

On the platform beneath the statue, draped with a red blanket, a priest was chanting scriptures, all of which were nonsensical and absurd.

Anyway, Leon didn't understand it, and he didn't need to learn these things. After all, these things didn't seem to have any practical use other than making a living as a clergyman in a church.

Leon was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his starting point was a peak that others could never reach in their entire lives.

Even if Leon were to fall on hard times in the palace, he couldn't possibly be so destitute that he couldn't even afford to eat.

On the contrary, Leon's meals were extremely extravagant every day. He didn't want it to be like that, but since the kitchen insisted on making so many dishes, he felt embarrassed and it wasn't convenient for him to say anything.

Theology and mysticism are two different things. The theology of this world is actually similar to that of modern Earth, consisting of some philosophical principles and the imagination and wisdom of the ancients, which are not very useful.

Mysticism, on the other hand, involves spirituality, magic, weapon crafting, the underworld, and other mysterious and esoteric things. Only by learning these practical things can one become an excellent and powerful supernatural being.

The church was crowded, but very quiet. People in the audience were chatting, but they were all trying to keep their voices down.

Leon found a corner to sit down, thinking it would be better to wait for Hawkeye to return so he could go back to the palace with him.

After nearly dying in the last monster incident, Leon felt he had to be extremely cautious, because the world harbored far too much malice towards him, a pathetic villain.

Leon sat waiting, bored. The priest's sermons sounded like a bunch of random "abba aba" to him, so there was no way he could listen to the sermon. At most, Leon just admired the pretty girls around him.

The Fchester Empire was also at the forefront of fashion, with a constant stream of things like black stockings, white stockings, fishnet stockings, short skirts, short socks, and uniforms.

Although the overall style is quite different from the modern world, it has a retro aesthetic that makes it appear more elegant and dignified.

"Sir, may I sit next to you?"

Just as Leon was idly searching through the crowd, his gaze drifting over several young and beautiful girls, a clear and sweet whisper rang out beside him.

That voice sounds strangely familiar.

Following the sound, Leon turned his head and saw a pair of fair, straight, and slender legs with not an ounce of excess fat.

Leon had only ever seen legs like that on screen before.

Leon's gaze followed the alluring legs upwards and he saw a girl dressed in a simple black down skirt and wearing a lady's hat.

The girl's face was veiled, making it difficult to see clearly, but Leon knew her red rose-colored eyes all too well.

What is she doing here?

Leon was puzzled.

Chapter Thirty-Two: You Must Wait for Me

His body was stiff on the bench in the church prayer hall.

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose appearance and temperament were impeccable, Leon's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt and surprise before quickly calming down.

"What are you doing here at this time?"

Leon asked, his expression slightly serious.

Having barely escaped the palace the day before yesterday, instead of leaving Guberlan overnight, they dared to swagger around the Cathedral of Holy Light, where angels are on earth.

Should we say this adorable girl in front of us is a naive and innocent Mary Sue, or is she just genuinely naive and daring?

"How come you recognized me so quickly this time?"

Helena paid no attention to Leon's question. She sat down next to him, a playful smile on her delicate face. At such close range, her expression couldn't be hidden by the thin veil.

Uh,

Look at what you're saying, is that even human language?

Don't you have any self-awareness about your own appearance?

And you think people won't recognize you just because you're wearing a hat and a veil?

In period dramas, there's a scene where a woman wears men's clothes and everyone around her assumes she's a man. This might work for those who are easily fooled, but it definitely won't work for Leon.

After a moment of silence, Leon finally spoke, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Goose……"

Helena hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Actually, the main reason I risked coming here was to wait for you."

"Ambush me?"

Leon was completely dumbfounded.

"Yeah, I was waiting for you. I can't and don't want to go into the palace, so I can only try my luck at the church. Now it seems—my luck is pretty good."

Helena smiled slightly.

You're the kind of person who can find a rare treasure in any random stone you pick up on the street! If you can't even be lucky, then this world is truly full of unlucky people.

After mentally ranting for a moment, Leon looked at Feng Aotian's captivating face, which was almost as alluring as a succubus.

"If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I didn't come alone; Bloomfield is probably—"

At this point, Leon glanced at the large clock hanging in the prayer hall, made a quick estimate, and continued, "We'll arrive at the battlefield in about ten minutes."

“I know, I saw you come with him.”

Helena said.

"Let's get straight to the point."

Leon said seriously.

After all, this place is far too dangerous. If Hawkeye suddenly turns back, or if Bancroft discovers something, then Helena might be captured and taken back to the palace. I certainly can't protect her.

What's even more worrying is that if they are caught again, given the previous experience, it won't be as simple as just being drugged and locked in a small room.

With Helena's small frame, can she even stand in jail?

It should be possible, but Leon wouldn't allow that to happen.

So, although Leon was actually looking forward to and happy to be able to talk to Helena, he restrained himself.

Humans are rational animals; they are capable of controlling their emotions and desires.

"That's right, Leon, I'm planning to leave the Fchester Empire."

Helena hesitated for a moment before saying, "But since I am still too weak, I can only leave alone."

"Um, so what?"

Leon nodded slightly.

"So I'd like to ask you for a favor, and I can only ask you for this."

When Helena said this, she looked at Leon with a pitiful expression.

With her looks and that expression, it was absolutely irresistible to a soft-hearted guy like Leon.

However, despite being "seduced," Leon remained rational. He wasn't the kind of simp who would go through fire and water for a pretty girl just because she said "please, please." Even if she were willing to give him some attention, Leon would at most consider it. After all, it's not so shameful to turn your back on someone after you've done your job, as long as you're thick-skinned.

Of course, that's all talk. I hope everyone will avoid being a scumbag and avoid casual casual relationships or transactions. Otherwise—you might want to take a look at Cheng Ge next door first.

"Time is limited, let's get straight to the point, otherwise Hawkeye might suddenly come back."

Leon reminded him.

That shouldn't be the case! What happened to the brilliant and cunning Feng Aotian from the anime who manipulated the villains?

Why does Leon feel like this girl is just a little sister, with absolutely no sense of caution?

Wow, this is what they call the emperor not being worried while the eunuch is!

"There is a place in the Empire called Peace Town, which is my hometown."

Helena said.

"Hey, isn't there a girl named Anna Bertha over there? She's the most important person to you right now. In your heart, she's already considered your dearest family member in this world, and she's already your only 'family member'."

After listening to Helena's words, Leon felt that he probably knew what Helena wanted to say, so he quickly said what Helena was going to say next for her.

"Ugh, how—how do you know all this!"

Helena's face flushed slightly, her mouth slightly open, looking incredibly surprised, as if a lady whose secret had been discovered had been exposed.

Yeah! How would I know all this!

Seeing Helena's surprised expression, Leon was also stunned.

Of course I know all this! I was in a world you don't know about, watching you, so beautiful and cute on the screen, fantasizing and shouting, "Helena is my wife!"

However, I can't tell Helena these things. She wouldn't believe me anyway; we're from completely different worlds, and there's no need to tell her.

But... the original owner of this body shouldn't know these things now, right?

"What's so strange about that? You know how much I like you. I've naturally put in some effort to get to know you."

After a quick thought, Leon immediately found an excuse for himself. Since the persona he was currently projecting towards Helena was that of a devoted, simp, then this explanation made perfect sense!

Let great love explain everything.

"Leon, thank you. You are such a kind person."

Helena smiled faintly.

Having lost her parents at a young age, Helena is actually a very independent and strong girl, but she always feels a warm feeling when she sees Leon.

She also felt this way when she was with Anna; being cared for so much was a luxury for Helena, who had grown up alone.

Now, besides Anna who is particularly concerned about me, it seems there's another person who cares about me.

"Oh, don't think too highly of me. If one day you find out you mistook a streetlamp for moonlight, I'm afraid you'll come back and kill me."

The more Helena thought about how good she was, the more uneasy Leon felt, thinking about the cautionary dream he had that day.

"Sir, you're quite humorous. How could I possibly want to stab you?"

Helena smiled radiantly.

Leon was indeed speaking from the heart; he was genuinely worried about the matter and had no intention of joking. However, Helena thought Leon was just joking and therefore overlooked the implications of his statement, "I will find out later that I mistook a streetlamp for moonlight."

"Don't worry, I will protect Miss Anna for you."

At this moment, Leon realized that he had gotten carried away while talking to the girl and said things he shouldn't have, so he quickly brought the topic back on track.

"Thank you so much. If I ever need your help in the future, I will definitely repay you many times over."

Helena's pretty face showed an extremely serious expression.

"This is true!"

Upon hearing Helena's words, Leon was overjoyed.

who is she!

She's Feng Aotian!

If I were ever truly desperate in the future, and I asked her to wipe out everyone who wanted to kill me, wouldn't that be wonderful?

This promise is practically a registration form!

No, to put it more vividly, with Helena's help, it's like I bought a "famous sword, the Blade of Fate".

"Of course, I am actually quite loyal and grateful. I will repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude."

Helena solemnly confirmed to Leon.

"Well, there's no need for such a generous return, but of course, if you insist on doing it this way, I'm not opposed to it..."
