The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Although he knew that Skadi was much more mature than before, Ye Xiao still felt a chill when he heard this.

"Hmph, look how scared you are," Skadi puffed out her cheeks. "Don't worry, you all specially invited me, so I definitely won't do anything reckless."

"Your Majesty's magnanimity will never be forgotten." Ye Xiao raised his wine cup.

“Hey, I’m not going to be generous. It’ll be my turn next!” Skadi pulled her cup back.

"Okay, okay," Ye Xiao said with a wry smile.

Skadi then happily clinked glasses with Ye Xiao.

Of course, Renault, who was listening to their conversation, was completely confused.

However, the meaning was unclear, but that didn't diminish the sweetness of the romance spreading from his mouth. After all, the Queen's every smile and gesture towards Ye Xiao was enough to explain a lot.

It's no wonder that Renault has taken a liking to his brother; a commoner like him has managed to establish such an extraordinary relationship with the empire's most favored daughter.

As Renault thought about it, his admiration for Ye Xiao grew even stronger.

However, it is said that at tonight's banquet, another of the Empire's most favored daughters, Ella Haviell, will also introduce her lover to everyone.

It must be said that many of the young nobles who attended the banquet were actually mainly concerned with this matter.

Renault, who is particularly keen on all sorts of rumors, is no exception.

During the conversation, the true protagonist of the dinner, Ella Hayville, finally appeared at the top of the stairs.

She wore a pure white gown, as white as the moonlight, and her long, shimmering hair, like a silver waterfall, flowed down to her waist.

As the girl walked gracefully, her flowing skirt swirled around her beautiful figure like layers of clouds.

The holy maiden, like an angel descended from heaven, attracted everyone's attention the moment she appeared.

Even though the nobles had never seen this young woman's beauty before, every time they did, her incomparable charm was always stunning.

"Hmph, still as flamboyant as ever," Skadi commented with dissatisfaction.

Ye Xiao could only chuckle awkwardly.

However, compared to Ella, Skadi's attire was indeed more simple and understated, clearly out of politeness to avoid overshadowing Ella.

In a way, this was also for Ella's sake, which made Ye Xiao very gratified.

Upon the arrival of the main character, Duke Heville walked to the front of the hall to deliver her customary dinner address.

"It is a great honor to invite you all to join us on this wonderful evening..."

The content was nothing more than a welcome, thanks, celebration of the arrival of peace days, everyone having fun, and finally a toast.

Amidst applause, melodious dance music began, signaling the official start of the banquet.

Duke Heville then returned to the crowd, continuing to chat and laugh with Ella and the other nobles.

"Oh, I heard Miss Havilé was bringing a partner tonight, but I don't think I've seen her."

Meanwhile, Renault, while drinking his wine, started a conversation.

Skadi, who was standing nearby, pursed her lips and sulked a little when she heard this. "You'll have to ask him about that."

"Hey, he's just a regular guy I'm dating, not someone I'm engaged to. There's no need to make a formal announcement on stage," Ye Xiao waved his hand.

"Oh? Brother Ye seems to know quite a bit about this," Renault said curiously.

"...I know a little bit about it." Ye Xiao smiled, then glanced at Duke Heville leading Ella straight this way.

Chapter Seventeen: The Golden Cat Exchanges for the Holy Maiden

Good evening, Your Majesty.

Duke Hevil came over, greeted Skadi first as usual, and then looked at Ye Xiao, "How are you, young man? Have you rested a bit?"

"Much better, Your Grace." Ye Xiao raised a glass to the Duke.

“Ella, go ahead,” Duke Hevil said to Ella with a smile.

Upon first seeing Ye Xiao's haggard appearance, Duke Haivier was also puzzled. After all, who would expect that doing such a thing could leave one in such a state? When she received the report from her subordinates, she simply assumed that Ye Xiao might have suddenly fallen ill due to the accumulated fatigue from being tense the day before, and did not think too deeply about it.

On the other hand, his daughter also told him that there was no problem with the situation, which made him feel a little guilty. He wondered if he had put too much pressure on the young man. After all, judging from past experiences, although his daughter's personality seemed to have been well honed, she might not be an easy person to deal with inside.

However, his daughter was still the apple of his eye, and Duke Heville could not relax his assessment of Ye Xiao because of this.

Yes, this dinner party is also a test, to observe how Ye Xiao handles social situations.

The noble social circles of the entire imperial city now have too many suitors for Ella, as well as quite a few who are always looking for opportunities to profit from the Havil family.

Upon seeing this unexpected person, they would definitely try to probe them in various ways.

Regardless of the Duke's hidden thoughts, Renault was stunned when he saw the silver-haired girl, who was like a goddess in his eyes, come over and take Ye Xiao's arm.

He looked at Ye Xiao in disbelief, then at Ella. He never imagined that the person the duke's daughter was going to introduce to her was the same person who was having an affair with Her Majesty the Queen.

but……

Renault glanced to his side and saw that Skadi, though looking very unhappy, did not make any move, which puzzled him even more.

She doesn't seem to be willingly giving up the man, so why is she behaving so calmly?

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I'll take Ye Xiao with me then." Ella covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Go, go, go! Hurry up and go!" Skadi grumbled.

Then, like a fluttering butterfly, Ella took Ye Xiao's hand and happily plunged into another part of the crowd, introducing her partner to those around her with a blissful expression.

Ella's jubilation was, of course, partly an act, because Ye Xiao knew that his own performance alone was not enough; he also needed to make the Duke realize that Ella truly "loved" him.

After receiving parental approval, a young girl should at least show some joy and excitement when introducing her partner in public.

Duke Heville remained silently behind, watching the couple. Seeing his daughter happy, a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

This put Renault in a difficult position. A queen and a grand duke were standing beside him, drinking silently. He was caught in a dilemma: should he leave or stay?

As a junior, he felt awkward speaking up since the two of them hadn't approached him; but as a chatterbox, he felt restless if he didn't talk.

……

At the same time, in a room on the second-floor corridor of the lobby.

A pink-haired girl dressed as a maid stared with her big, watery golden eyes, along with the golden kitten on her shoulder, peeking through the open door at the scene downstairs.

"Is it okay now, Sister Mammon?"

“That’s about enough,” said the kitten Greta, pawing at the maid’s shoulders. “You’d better be careful later, or just beg for mercy if you get caught.”

"Oh, you're making me a little nervous..." the pink-haired maid said, but a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. "If I get caught, will she beat me up badly?"

"A pure saint lashes out at a demon with abandon, oh, just thinking about it makes me want to scream..."

“…Take it easy, Asamonti. I won’t be responsible if you get killed.” The kitten’s lips twitched. “Alright, move aside. I’m about to change.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the kitten jumped to the ground, its fur gradually trembling and falling into wisps of smoke. Then, its tiny body slowly grew and transformed into a petite pink-haired girl.

But that wasn't the end of it. Barely clothed, she placed her hand in Asamonte's palm, and her body began to change little by little. She grew slightly taller, her features gradually transformed from childlike to alluring, and her full breasts gradually flattened...

“Wait a minute… I think… this place doesn’t need to be so realistic.” Greta suddenly said, as if she had remembered something, and her voice changed from a childish tone to a melodious and light one.

As she spoke, the once tiny little girl had become almost identical to Ella.

Aside from the chest area being slightly larger, it's not quite accurate.

Asamundi's divine power, "Slaanesh's Touch," allows her to freely alter the form of a person's soul and body through contact. However, judging from her title as a demon god, one can imagine that she doesn't use this ability for anything worthwhile most of the time.

"Alright, all done." Asamonte rubbed his hands together and took a mirror from the side, holding it up in front of Greta.

Gladys, who had transformed into Ella's appearance, carefully examined herself in the mirror and nodded. "Hmm, that's the look of a sly fox. By the way, do human men all like this kind of look?"

“From my observation, human men have a wide variety of tastes,” Ashamonti said, “but most of the men I know are indeed not immune to this charmingly cute type.”

"He truly deserves to be called an expert in this field."

Greta raised her hand and summoned a red magic circle, weaving a white gauze dress onto her body that was the same style as Ella's in the hall, but with a less intricate pattern. "Remember, you'll lure that woman away later, stall for as long as you can..."

"I know, then, big sister, you can use her appearance to take advantage of that human."

Asamundi covered her mouth with her hand, "Instead of just grabbing him and handing him over, you go through all this roundabout foreplay. My dear sister is surprisingly innocent."

"Mind your own business!" Greta pouted.

Then, Asamonte handed Greta a small bottle containing pink potion, saying, "You have to be careful with the dosage, this is an enhanced version that even gods can't resist."

"Don't you have anything more ordinary?"

"This is my older sister's request for help; how could I, an ordinary person, possibly offer it?"

Greta tilted her head, feeling that Asamonte's answer seemed correct, but something also seemed off.

After the two demons secretly finished discussing everything, Greta quietly climbed out of the back window of the room.

Asamonte stared at Ye Xiao, who was chatting with Ella and other nobles. She slowly transformed into the appearance of an ordinary maid, then pushed open the door and walked out openly.

Chapter Eighteen: Luring the Sheep into the House

Back in the lobby.

Ye Xiao was still arguing with a nobleman named Andre Devin.

Ye Xiao seemed to have met this guy before; the other guy harbored an unimaginable fanaticism towards Ella.

Correspondingly, the more fanatical they were of Ella, the more resistant they were to Ye Xiao, this inexplicably appearing person, and their words were full of sarcasm and ridicule.

Ye Xiao retorted a few times, but all his efforts were in vain. In the end, he found that Ella just glared at him and then obediently shut up.

It has to be said that the grandeur of the Holy Maiden of Light was more effective.

However, as they were talking, a servant suddenly came over and bowed respectfully to Ella, saying, "Miss, the master says he has something important to discuss with you."

Ella then turned her head slightly and found that Duke Heville, who had been standing in the corner of the hall, was indeed nowhere to be seen.

Therefore, she didn't think much of it, politely bid farewell to everyone, and left with her attendants.

As soon as Ella left, the noble young men who were pursuing her immediately jumped up again.

Despite the mockery, these young nobles were actually quite polite.

Unlike what Ye Xiao had seen in TV dramas, it wouldn't be like that scene where someone glares at you and angrily shouts, "You mere commoner, how dare you associate with Lady Haivier!?"

Perhaps out of fear of Ella's tyranny, the wording tended to be more persuasive and persuasive:

"Mr. Ye is able to gain the appreciation of the Holy Maiden, so I believe his personal abilities must be quite good."

"But marriages between noble families in our empire are different from those between ordinary commoners. Ultimately, we must consider the compatibility of social status and background in order to achieve a win-win situation for both families."

"I have heard that Mr. Ye's title of knight was personally conferred by Her Majesty the Queen. I have the utmost admiration for him to be promoted to such a high rank as a commoner."

"However, the disparity brought about by the blessings of ancestors should not be underestimated. Although this may be unpleasant to hear, when it comes to marriage, if the status of the two sides is too different, it is not easy to have a good outcome. Love is certainly important, but Mr. Ye should also consider the Holy Maiden's family more."

"I wonder how many mansions Mr. Ye owns in the capital, and how many servants he has?"

So Ye Xiao just felt both annoyed and amused, but he couldn't say he was humiliated or anything, and there was no need to get angry with these minor nobles.

On the other side, Ella followed her attendants up the stairs to the Duke's study on the third floor of the mansion.

She was somewhat surprised. Why couldn't they just talk about it in the lobby downstairs? Why did they have to come to the study to say it?

As soon as she entered, she saw Duke Heville with his hands on the desk, staring at her with a calm expression, without saying a word.

After a silence of three or four seconds, Ella tentatively asked, "Father?"

"Hmm..." Duke Hevil responded, followed by a long silence.

The incense burner on the desk quietly emitted wisps of smoke, drifting through the room, creating a slightly eerie atmosphere that left Ella feeling somewhat at a loss.

"Father, is there something you need from me?"

"I... just heard from someone else..." Duke Heville didn't know what was wrong with her. She finally managed to speak, but she spoke slowly and haltingly, making the listener anxious.

However, what he said next made Ella's heart sink.

"Ella... your identity... is actually that of an evil god?"

A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across Ella's eyes, but her expression remained unchanged. She simply frowned and smiled, "Father, what are you saying?"

"What I'm saying...you should know better than I do..."

Ella narrowed her eyes slightly.
