The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"I meant 'like'!!" Ella was speechless. "In humans, the first expression of liking someone is called 'confession.' Since you like him, have you thought about how you're going to confess?"

"Confess... Oh, I see. I remember reading something like that in the comics my fellow travelers from another world drew for me. Oh, I see. But I remember you should confess if you already have a lover..." Greta tilted her head, then suddenly widened her eyes, a glint of wisdom in them. "Hey! Does that make me a minotaur!?"

"What kind of comics are your subordinates drawing for you?!"

Chapter 129 The Empress's Majesty

After a great deal of effort, Ella finally managed to get Greta to understand the emotional concepts of normal humans to some extent.

The chubby kitten leaned against the window frame, licking the food crumbs off its paws as it pondered something.

New wisdom seems to be sprouting in that adorable little head.

"Oh, I think I'm starting to understand everything."

“…Something about what you said just doesn’t feel right to me.” Ella swiped open a portal, sending the empty plate in front of Greta back to Stormport. “But if you really understand.”

“Hmm,” Greta nodded, “I didn’t expect that you, Miss Ella, would know so much about these human matters.”

"What are you saying? I'm human too, okay?" Ella ruffled the kitten's hair.

"You could use that to fool that idiot Ye Xiao." Greta twitched her nose.

“I’m just telling the truth,” Ella waved her hand.

The afternoon sun shone on the windowsill, and the relationship between the person and the cat gradually became harmonious through their conversation.

Although Ye Xiao and Greta are quite familiar with each other, Greta has always been rather wary of Ella, and the two haven't had many conversations.

It wasn't until the trip to Stormport that Greta seemed to lower her guard against Ella and accept her as a companion.

And this is the first time the two of them have had such a long chat.

Of course, this process mainly applies to Greta. As for Ella, she had already become familiar with how to get along with Greta through Ye Xiao.

Therefore, during her conversations with Ella, Greta inevitably felt a subtle, natural connection and a sense of familiarity.

This made her like Ella even more.

"Miss Ella, when do you think it would be a good time for me to talk to Ye Xiao and be frank with him?"

“Anytime is fine.” Ella looked at the kitten with caring eyes. “I think he’s waiting for you too.”

“I see…” Greta nodded, then raised her two paws in a stretching motion. “Thank you, Miss Ella. It seems I need to go back and think carefully about what we talked about… So, if I encounter any more problems about him in the future, can I come to you for advice?”

"Of course." Ella covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes filled with undisguised affection for the little one.

"So, am I considered a minotaur?"

"...No!" The warm atmosphere that had just begun to shatter instantly, Ella's face twitched, "I've told you so much, which means I've truly accepted you!"

"It's only with you, I haven't acknowledged his relationships with other women yet."

“Is… is that so?”

“Yes, you should feel it too, just like you felt uncomfortable seeing him chatting happily with the eldest princess. Love is not like friendship, but it can give rise to a selfish desire to possess the other person.” Ella rubbed the cat’s brow with her fingers. “So Ye Xiao’s opinion doesn’t count. This is a sharing between you and me, as a sign of my trust and recognition of your companionship with him all this time.”

Greta nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Don't overthink it. Now that you've joined, you'll have to call me 'Big Sister' according to the first-come, first-served rule." Ella grinned mischievously.

"Ugh...do we really have to do this...?" Cat's eyes widened. She felt like something was off, but Ella's words seemed to make some sense. "But, but I should be older than you, right..."

"Hmph, this is about seniority. I arrived first, it has nothing to do with age." A hint of teasing flashed in the crescent-shaped red eyes of the silver-haired girl's beautiful face. "Come on, quickly call me 'Big Sister'."

"But...but I feel like you're lying to me." The kitten was troubled. She seemed to smell a hint of cunning in Ella's charming smile. "I'm clearly the boss among them in Original Sin...I'm the boss among them."

"How could that be? If you don't believe me, you can ask other people quietly when you have time later." Ella gently stroked the cat's head.

She knew that touching this spot would lower Greta's guard. After all, Ye Xiao usually used this method to control the little guy's temperature when he was irritable by touching his head, and her delicate technique was already highly refined.

"Look, I've poured my heart out to you for so long, and all I'm getting in return is a form of address. Shouldn't you at least show some appreciation?"

The kitten looked at Ella and felt as if it were looking at a little fox grinning at it.

But she seemed to find it hard to refuse. As Ella said, as the newcomer in the relationship, she had ruined things for him a few times and even secretly made some small moves, but he never showed any resistance to her and instead accepted her readily.

Logically speaking, she should indeed make a statement.

"Okay, then... Sister... Big Sister." The cat bit her lip and finally forced herself to speak.

Hearing the sweet, childlike voice calling out, Ella immediately beamed and scooped the kitten into her arms, rubbing it affectionately. "Hehe, that's great, little Greta!!"

"Ah!" Gretia exclaimed and instinctively tried to escape, but Ella, who had finally gotten a chance to pet the cat, naturally wouldn't let the cat succeed.

For some reason, when Ella saw this little guy, she really wanted to hug him, cuddle him, and tease him. Now, hearing his soft call, she finally couldn't resist.

Even though he was Ye Xiao, he didn't seem to be that... excited.

The kitten trembled and tried to break free from the girl's clutches, but to no avail. She forcibly rubbed her cheek against the girl's chubby face.

"Ahhh, it's so cute!" Ella exclaimed softly as she hugged the kitten and cuddled it.

"That's enough...! Miss Ella, that's enough!" Greta cried out.

"Ella what?"

"Sister... Sister Ella!"

"That's good."

Ella tormented the kitten for a while longer before finally placing the trembling Greta back on the windowsill, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. "Heh heh, this is your punishment for stealing food."

"Ugh..." Greta had a persistent feeling that she was no longer clean.

If it were anyone else, even Ye Xiao, who dared to mess with her like this, she would definitely jump up and beat them up. How could the majesty of the Demon God be violated in this way!

But for some reason, she felt a little...timid when facing this woman?

The reason was unclear to Greta herself.

I always felt like I was being easily manipulated by the other party, which made me feel frustrated and helpless.

"Well, that's enough for today. I have something to attend to, so I have to go now, Miss Ella." Having finished their conversation, Greta pondered for a moment. Since she couldn't afford to offend them, she decided to avoid them for now.

She didn't want to be grabbed and masturbated by that wicked woman again.

"Hmm?" Ella raised an eyebrow slightly. "Naughty kittens will be punished, you know."

"Big sister!" Greta stuck out her tongue, then hurriedly jumped onto the tree outside the window, afraid that the woman would grab her again.

"Okay, hehe, remember to come visit next time." Ella chuckled, resting her chin on her hand as she watched the kitten flee in panic.

Chapter 130 Survivors

After seeing Greta off, Ella tapped the table with her finger, and the soundproofing array in the room made a crisp sound, collapsing instantly like shattered glass.

She then stretched, smoothed her soft hair, and with a flick of her finger, a portal suddenly appeared.

She was supposed to finish this task after the Grizzly Guild incident, but Greta suddenly came over for a heart-to-heart talk.

My friend's relationship issues are naturally my top priority, so I was slightly delayed, but it wasn't a big deal.

Ella got up and passed through the portal, whereupon a dark prison appeared before her.

A burly man with shackles on his hands and feet sat leaning against the wall, his eyes unfocused, until Ella appeared, which made him slightly raise his head.

But as soon as he looked up, the man's gaze was immediately drawn to the stunningly beautiful girl who had suddenly appeared before him: "Holy...Holy Maiden??"

"Why... Am I dreaming...?"

“It’s not a dream, Mr. Tu Chou.”

Ella smiled, her cheeks still slightly flushed from cuddling the cat, which, nestled in her snow-white hair, added an indescribable charm.

"I'm here to save you."

"Save...me?" Tu Chou stared at the alluring smile and murmured.

"Hmm, judging by the time it takes, it should be about time."

As the soft, pleasant voice faded, Tu Chou suddenly felt a swelling in his abdomen.

"What...!?" A sharp pain followed, his stomach churning as if something was about to tear him apart from the inside. "What did you do to me...?"

"I didn't do anything to you." Ella slowly walked to Tu Chou, who was lying on the ground covered in sweat. Her small leather shoes made a crisp sound on the hard, cold floor. "Why don't you think carefully about who did what to you?"

"I..." Tu Chou's face contorted with pain, but then the scene of Archmage Bazel suddenly appearing in front of him that morning at the Grizzly Bear Guild's base, when he was being taken away by the Imperial City Guards, flashed before his eyes.

This time, he clearly noticed that after the other person came up to him, in addition to glancing at him, he also silently uttered a few characters.

"That guy... cast a curse on me!!" The image faded away, and only then did Tu Chou realize what had happened. He clutched his stomach and gritted his teeth.

That damned Bazel actually tried to silence him!

"Good, it seems you've remembered." Ella nodded in satisfaction.

Of course, it wasn't a coincidence that Tu Chou happened to recall the details of the situation after Ella's prompting. Rather, it was because Ella cast a simple illusion spell during that brief glance, recreating for Tu Chou the scene that Ella herself had actually noticed.

Bazel suddenly appeared in front of Tu Chou, seemingly without doing anything, but in fact, he secretly placed a curse on Tu Chou when no one was paying attention.

Ella noticed this small detail, so she deliberately had the rat familiar that had followed her into the prison stay close to Tu Chou to sense his mental state.

Once the disorder begins to occur, it means that the spell buried within him is about to be activated, and Ella takes advantage of this moment to rush over.

He casually ordered a rat to crawl into Tu Chou's mouth, and the burly man, panting heavily, leaned against the wall, having escaped with his life.

“My reason for saving you is not complicated,” Ella said with a slight smile, looking at the terrified Tu Chou. “The one who wanted to use you as a pawn to be destroyed is my enemy.”

"What...what do you want me to do?" Tu Chou swallowed hard. He sensed that this Holy Maiden of Light seemed to be different from the rumors circulating about her.

"Offer your loyalty, or die."

Looking into the coldness in those crimson eyes, Tu Chou trembled as he steadied his breathing, and then, quite naturally, knelt down on one knee before Ella.

……

At the same time, outside the imperial city, on a mountain near Gray Gold Town.

A man who had been wearing dark green light armor slowly opened his eyes.

Having been unconscious for so long, the white light that fell on his pupils only caused him an extremely uncomfortable stinging pain.

The stinging pain couldn't be relieved even with his eyes closed, so he involuntarily raised his hand and covered his eyes.

"Brother Chen, you're awake!?"

A familiar soft call rang in his ears. Chen Yao turned his head slightly and saw, through the haze, the figure of a girl in a cloak appear at the door.

"Little...Lian?"

"It's me, Brother Chen. Are you alright?"

These two were the survivors of the player team who had previously gone to Greygold Town as guards of the Aslan Royal Palace to purchase Greygold, but were attacked by strange things in the town.

Chen Yao, with a headache, slowly recalled what had happened before.

It seemed like he was already on the verge of death.

It seemed that at the very moment he was about to die, a full moon, as red as blood, appeared...

Then a silver-haired girl descended like a goddess, took his hand, and pulled him out of the frenzied horde of corpses.

After that... he couldn't remember much...

But the needle-like pain in his body made him clearly aware that he was still alive.

"Where...where am I?" Chen Yao slowly sat up with Xiao Lian's help. Only then did he realize that he was lying on a simple wooden bed covered with a straw mat. The walls and roof around him were made of wooden planks. The glaring light from earlier had come from the window next to him that had no curtains.

"It's Besolini's hut, you idiot!" A harsh voice rang in my ears. "Do you even know who Besolini is? Let me tell you, he's the greatest necromancer in the world!"

"what……"

Chen Yao turned his head in surprise, trying to find the source of the shrill sound, but apart from a crow perched on the windowsill that kept cawing, he did not see a third person.

"I'm not a piece of trash, you idiot! My name is Eunice, the best partner of the great necromancer Besolini! Did you hear me?! You moron!"

Chen Yao covered his head and shook it for a long time before finally fixing his gaze on the crow in disbelief. "It's you... talking?"

"Of course I'm talking, you idiot! I've been talking for so long... wait, you can actually understand what I'm saying?!"

"Who are you talking to, Brother Chen?" Xiao Lian, the girl with the bow and arrow, looked surprised. "Don't scare me..."

“No… I wasn’t trying to scare you,” Chen Yao said weakly. “This… this crow can actually talk.”
