The Villain Saint is my secondary account

“I…” Skadi was still in a daze.

"Hey, you're not still hesitating, are you? Don't you understand how serious the situation is?!"

"Ye Xiao says he loves each and every one of us, but now only that woman has monopolized the right to have sex!" the cat scolded.

"You see, Ye Xiao is always so hesitant and timid when she interacts with us. It must be because she's causing trouble!"

"I don't accept partners who aren't prepared! If you don't even have the courage to give yourself up, you'll never be able to beat that woman!!"

The impassioned words seemed to awaken certain memories in Skadi's mind.

In a daze, Ella's provocative and mocking gaze seemed to be right in front of me, and her melodious, sky-like voice rang in my ears:

"Oh, you're here! Too bad you're too late. Ye Xiao has already been completely devoured by me!"

"A loser is a loser, even when it comes to stealing a man, she's a step behind me, hehe."

Ahhhh! ! ! ! ! !

Skadi pressed ten finger marks onto the hard tabletop, and faint flames flickered around her. "Nekomata-neechan, I want to go too!!!"

"Hmm?" Greta crossed her arms and looked Skadi up and down. She hadn't expected this girl to grow up so fast, but that wasn't enough.

"what would you like?"

"I want...I want..."

"I can't hear you!"

"I want to have sex with Ye Xiao!!!"

"That's good, very energetic!"

Greta raised a front paw. "I acknowledge you. Come, for our bright future!"

……

In the carriage downstairs, Ye Xiao suddenly sneezed.

What's going on? Does my weakened appearance mean my immunity has also decreased?

And why do I feel like there are some strange voices calling my name outside the window?

Ye Xiao picked up a handkerchief and rubbed his nose. He was naturally unaware of the strange conversation between Skadi and Greta.

Otherwise, he would have pinched that chubby cat head into a ball and questioned the other party about what kind of nonsense they had taught a girl just beginning to experience love.

Ye Xiao was still relieved that the daytime date was finally over, and he should be able to find out the outcome after attending the banquet at the Duke's house.

It was just as grueling as a job interview.

However, this torment only refers to the psychological tension. In terms of simply spending time with Ella, it was actually quite... enjoyable.

Thinking this, Ye Xiao turned his gaze to Ella beside him.

The silver-haired girl also turned her head to look at her, revealing a sweet smile.

A lover who is completely in tune with my heart, as beautiful as an elf from a dream.

From her initial astonishment to now, Ye Xiaosui has begun to realize how rare such beauty is.

Whatever he thinks or hopes for, Ella will always give him the response he most desires.

Whatever it is...

Ye Xiao's throat moved slightly, and he suddenly had a whim to have Ella raise one of her hands.

With her slender fingers slightly bent, the silver-haired girl let out a soft meow: "Meow—?"

Ye Xiao blushed instantly and quickly pressed the girl's hand down again. Oh well, he had no choice.

It's great in every way, except it's not very good for kidneys.

Chapter Fifteen: The Duke's Dinner

Evening, at the Duke of Havilé's mansion.

In the large courtyard in front of the gate, one after another, exquisite horse-drawn carriages arrived.

As one of the four great dukes of the empire, Duke Heville's connections in the imperial city are naturally immeasurable.

Ella Havil, as the daughter of Duke Havil and the Chosen of Light, has recently become quite famous in the Imperial City.

Therefore, even though they had just recovered from that massive palace coup, many nobles, both high and low, still came to visit them.

Queen Skadi Betis, who has now successfully ascended the throne, was naturally also invited.

In the social circles of the highest nobility, it was considered proper etiquette to invite the royal family to a banquet held in a public setting.

Moreover, Duke Heville had heard from her daughter that her relationship with His Majesty was quite good.

Although Skadi had just ascended the throne, all the affairs of the palace, big and small, actually fell on the shoulders of ministers Holman and Isaac.

Also invited to the banquet was the fourth prince, Raymond Betis. This prince, who had lost the bid for the throne, unexpectedly escaped the new king's purging and retained his royal status despite having no real power.

Rumors circulated that the prince actually lived quite comfortably after that, returning to the magic research institute at the National Noble Academy and beginning to study some topics related to ancient arcane arts.

Despite his obsession with power, Prince Raymond is actually a rather talented mage.

He didn't usually bother going out much, but the invitation from the Heville family was different. The moment he received the invitation, he immediately took a carriage and went there eagerly.

……

As the sun sets, the streets of the bustling city light up with thousands of lights, and melodious music drifts from the magnificent Duke's mansion.

Elegantly dressed nobles gathered in the glittering hall, discussing the many events that had recently occurred in the capital.

Because of the royal selection, many nobles from other territories of Loren appeared in the capital city after a long absence. Although many left after attending Skadi's coronation ceremony—such as Duke Albert, who returned to the North with grief to hold a family funeral for his brother—most of them, having come to the capital city, would stay longer to interact with those great nobles who were not usually seen.

Social interaction was one of the most important aspects of aristocratic life.

Duke Heville was also in the hall, having a pleasant conversation with Grand Duke Seychelles from the Seaside Province.

The two families weren't actually that close, and Duke Hevil had even wondered why his daughter had asked him to invite Duke Seychelles as well.

But after hearing the other party's lavish praise of Ella, Duke Heville's usually calm and collected face broke into a frenzy, and he almost became sworn brothers with her.

The reason was simple: before this, Duke Heville had only heard bad things about his daughter's arrogance and domineering behavior. Now, for the first time, he heard praise, and from a grand duke no less. How could he not be moved?

Allen, the eldest son who was following Duke Hevil, felt somewhat resentful, but as he listened to what had happened, he realized that his sister, who used to be bad-tempered and useless, had now reached a level that he could hardly hope to reach.

Frustrate the bishop's plot at the Loren Cathedral during the pilgrimage festival, exorcise evil spirits capable of destroying the city and save Stormport, and join forces with the new Queen Skadi to defeat the mastermind behind the Cult of Life and save the capital from peril...

In retrospect, Ella truly deserves the title of "Saintess of Light".

While they were chatting, Ye Xiao, dressed in a suit and tie, was hunched over the dining table in the corner, with huge dark circles under his eyes, eating voraciously.

The food at that luxury hotel wasn't much to begin with, and those two idiots made it so he barely got to eat anything. Plus, with that kind of thing happening, he needs to take this opportunity to get some extra nutrition.

He had put on some makeup to hide his sickly appearance, but his thinness was still quite noticeable.

Players from the Seven Stars Guild were also invited to the event. Ye Xiao was certainly not the kind of person who only cared about his own enjoyment and ignored his brothers on such occasions.

However, he was worried that everyone would be a little reserved, but he saw that Li Cheng, dressed in a formal suit, led the Seven Stars Society brothers into the small group of noble ladies and was completely at ease. He could make the girls laugh and tremble with joy with just a few words.

That's right, this guy was a playboy before he transmigrated, so there's nothing to worry about.

Most players, as lower-level adventurers, have not had much contact with the upper echelons of the empire. Therefore, these noble girls, who usually stay in academies or family mansions, rarely encounter travelers from other worlds in such situations.

The strong sense of novelty, combined with Li Cheng's witty conversation honed from his experience in the upper echelons of Blue Star's social circles, his adventurous experiences suitable for boasting, and his background of having affairs with the Seven Stars Society, the Saintess, and the Queen, makes him unexpectedly popular among young nobles.

"Hey, isn't this Cat Swordsman buddy?"

A somewhat familiar, cheerful voice rang in his ears. Ye Xiao turned his head and saw a handsome young nobleman wearing a dark blue silk tuxedo and with a light golden short ponytail, holding a wine glass and greeting him, "Good evening, what a coincidence, we meet again!"

"Good evening……"

Ye Xiao smiled politely, then a look of confusion appeared in her eyes. "By the way, who are you...?"

“I am Renault, Renault Scott, a classmate of yours who entered the academy in the same year.”

Renault gave a wry smile. "This is the fourth time I've introduced myself to you."

"Oh, is that so? I'm so sorry, so sorry."

Ye Xiao replied apologetically, but he really didn't remember where he had seen this guy before. "Then let me introduce myself properly this time. My name is Ye Xiao."

"Great, Brother Ye! It's great to finally hear your introduction. You're from the Eastern Yang Continent?"

"No, they are travelers from another world."

“Hey, I’ve always wanted to talk to travelers from other worlds.” Renault said, seemingly very excited. “Are you all adventurers? I’d like to be one too, but my father absolutely forbids it. He says the profession is so dangerous and so painful.”

This guy seems to be a chatterbox who's overly friendly... I can't believe I've ever dealt with such a troublesome person before...

Ye Xiao has a natural aversion to chatterboxes. It's not that he hates them, but his relatively quiet personality doesn't really mesh well with the talkative type.

Indeed... "Quiet"...

Ye Xiao had almost forgotten that before she transmigrated, she was a "quiet" top student in her class...

"...Alas, but I truly yearn for the joy of adventuring with my brothers. Of course, I know it might be inappropriate for someone of my noble status to say this, but I genuinely like and respect everyone who is willing to dedicate themselves to this profession."

Renault, who looked quite handsome, started talking like a floodgate had been opened. “Like a few days ago, a newly formed adventure team encountered danger after doing a commission I posted for a friend. They damaged all their equipment. Sigh, I couldn’t bear it, so I also contributed a lot of money to help them replace their equipment.”

"I didn't expect the monster in that cave to be so powerful. If the team leader hadn't been able to communicate with the monster, something terrible might have happened."

"...A person who can communicate with monsters?" Ye Xiao asked with some curiosity.

“Strictly speaking, he might not be human... Hey, speaking of which, can you believe it? The captain of that adventure team was actually a succubus.”

Chapter Sixteen: Aristocratic Gossip

"Succubus?"

“Yes, I was just as shocked as you were.” Renault waved his hand to indicate. “She was just a tiny little thing, about this tall. When I chatted with her that time, she said she used to work at Elysium.”

"Oh, someone as upright as you probably doesn't know what the Pleasure House is. It's probably a place where money and sex are traded... Of course, I mainly know about this place from her, hahaha."

"What's interesting is that she said she did her 'job' very badly back then. For some reason, unlike other succubi, she was afraid when she was alone with strangers, and when she was afraid, her body would release some protective charm spells in response."

"Guests under the spell will fall into strange hallucinations, ignore her, and mistake the surrounding cabinets and chairs for beautiful members of the opposite sex, and then... the scene is, in short, very cruel."

Ye Xiao had never heard of such a bizarre succubus before. "Who would dare to approach her?"

Renault shrugged. "She said that the last time, she finally met a friendly customer who made her feel less scared, and she thought she could finally overcome that problem. But the customer absolutely refused to do 'that,' and in the end, she still lost her job."

"What kind of weird customers are these? Why would they go to that place if they don't want to?" Ye Xiao frowned slightly.

"Who knows? It made that little guy quite discouraged for a while. Later, he went around in circles and became an illusionist and then an adventurer."

Renault took a sip of his drink. "That adventure team is all young girls. I heard that a priestess is planning to join them. It seems to be doing quite well, which is gratifying. She has finally succeeded in taking a different path."

"However, my relationship with them was only limited to financial assistance. I'm telling this story just because I find it interesting, since I haven't seen them since."

Ye Xiao had heard many stories from Li Cheng about people who couldn't make it on land and had to go to sea, but this was the first time he had heard of someone who couldn't make it at sea and had to come ashore.

However, from the perspective of society, it may just be an ordinary case of switching career paths.

Ye Xiao didn't think too much about it, but this interesting little story made him happy to chat with Renault.

After chatting for a while, a slight commotion came from the doorway. Ye Xiao and Renault looked over and saw Skadi, dressed in a formal gown, entering the hall under the protection of guards, followed by her brother, Prince Raymond.

When His Majesty arrived in person, a constant stream of people came to greet him.

Skadi responded politely, but her eyes darted left and right, clearly searching for someone.

A short while later, Ye Xiao, who was hiding in the corner, saw Skadi walk straight over.

"Hey, good evening, Your Majesty." Ye Xiao smiled. Although he didn't like being stared at by a large group of people, since Skadi had come to find him, he couldn't avoid it.

"Hmph, good evening, Ye Xiao," Skadi crossed her arms and then nodded to Renault beside her in greeting.

Renault was somewhat flattered and quickly responded with delight. Then he secretly gave Ye Xiao a thumbs-up and whispered, "I'll excuse myself for a moment. You and His Majesty can talk slowly."

As a student of the academy, he had heard rumors about this cat-wielding swordsman and the current queen, and now he was able to witness it firsthand.

"Uh, actually, there's no need." Ye Xiao smiled. "I'll be leaving soon."

"Leave?" Renault didn't react for a moment.

Skadi curled her lip and said, "Look how happy you are. Do you believe I'll grab you right now and declare you my ownership?"

"Oh, then that's probably not appropriate..." Ye Xiao's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
