The Villain Saint is my secondary account

"Why? Didn't they send you?"

Ella was puzzled.

"There's no rule that says just because they sent me, I have to listen to them."

The fake saintess spoke with righteous indignation.

So you've... betrayed us?

Ella scratched her head. "Why?"

Although it's comforting to see someone betray the company, Ella doesn't quite understand why this guy would betray her for no reason.

"There's no reason why, I just don't like those people."

"...Then why did you come to like our place?"

Ella tilted her little head.

"Huh? What are you being so presumptuous about? I hate you too, Lydia."

"The fake saintess said angrily."

So which side do you prefer?

Ella was speechless.

She couldn't understand what this guy's current stance was.

Unexpectedly, the fake saintess blushed upon hearing this. "This is my private matter, what business is it of yours!?"

"?"

A few black lines appeared on Ella's forehead. "I mean, so which side are you on now?"

"Forehead."

Realizing she might have misunderstood, the fake saintess paused, her deep blue eyes unconsciously avoiding Ella's gaze. "I...I don't know about this kind of thing either."

"You do not know?"

Ella glanced at the parchment scroll on the table again. "I remember back in Stormport... you said your goal was revenge? Why aren't you seeking revenge now?"

For some reason, the fake saintess felt a strange sense of shame upon hearing this, as if her dark past had been exposed.

She covered her face, now realizing how...foolish she had been.

But the damage caused cannot disappear because of her escape. Now that the fake saintess can see the ruined state of the holy city after the flood, she can naturally imagine the tragic state of Storm Harbor at that time.

Perhaps she should never have possessed this power belonging to the divine authority of light in the first place; if she had, her foolishness would not have led to such serious consequences.

Or perhaps, she shouldn't have been born at all.

Thinking this through, the fake saintess lost all her confidence in the face of Ella's questioning. After a long pause, she simply spoke softly, replying in a voice barely above a whisper:

"...It's over."

"What did you say?"

Ella said she didn't hear clearly.

"I said I'm not going to repeat myself!!"

The fake saintess gripped her skirt with both hands. "Hmph, Lydia, I truly deserve what I got. Curse me all you want! Lock me up in jail, or execute me, or torture me to a thousand cuts—it's all up to you!!"

Anyway, the Holy City is safe now, and Ye Xiao is also unharmed.

As for what happens to me, who cares?

The fake saintess always felt a little wronged, but she knew that what she had done did not match her feelings of grievance.

As Ye Xiao once said, how despicable it is for someone who has deprived others of their happiness to dream of having it for themselves.

She came into this world alone, and perhaps leaving alone is the best ending for her.

"Hey, don't be so hasty. I didn't say I was going to put you on trial right now."

Ella used her fingertips to open a spatial portal and took out two cups of tea from inside. "Besides, the talk of being torn to pieces is too exaggerated. As the Holy Maiden of Light, I would never do such a cruel thing..."

A knocking sound suddenly rang out on the door.

"Come in."

Ella glanced outside the door.

“Your Holiness, several members of the Rossia family, a family with a history of serious crimes, are related to some noble officials in the Tedeh vassal state. Upon hearing about what happened in the Holy City, they requested our extradition of the criminals…”

The presiding judge, Decari, began to speak fluently as soon as he entered the room, but stopped abruptly when he noticed the fake saintess sitting on the sofa. "Um, I'm sorry, Your Holiness, I didn't notice there were other people in the room."

"It doesn't matter. What are their reasons for wanting to extradite the criminals?"

"Ella asked."

“They said that according to the law, the church had no right to deal with their relatives.”

"Oh."

Ella nodded and replied casually, "If they want it, then extradite the criminals' hands and feet to them."

"……clear."

Dekari wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and respectfully left the room, saying, "Excuse me, Your Majesty."

Chapter 145 The Council of Gods

"Where did we just talk?"

Ella smiled and looked back at the fake saintess, who felt a ticklish sensation all over her body as she looked at Ella's kind eyes.

"Oh, right, speaking of my mercy and kindness. Of course, that doesn't mean your past mistakes can be forgiven. But before discussing those heavy topics, you might as well have a cup of tea to calm down."

Ella flicked her index finger, and a tentacle grew out of the desk, its end curling up to lift the teacup and carry it across the room to the fake saintess.

The fake saint stiffly accepted the teacup, her throat bobbing slightly. She cautiously examined the clear black tea inside, fearing that Ella might have added something inappropriate.

Ella ignored the fake saintess's little tricks, took a sip of tea, and a satisfied expression appeared on her cute little face.

The fake saintess glanced at Ella, and finally picked up her teacup and took a sip.

The woody floral scent, carrying a refreshing and sweet lemon flavor, lingered in her throat. The fake saint put down her teacup, and then her eyes widened slightly.

"...Tea brewed by Ye Xiao?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

Ella glanced at the fake saintess with some surprise.

"Why wasn't purple orchid added?"

"That's his taste; I don't like drinks that are too bitter."

Ella replied casually.

It's a well-known fact that Ye Xiao and his two bodies have different tastes, and Ella has now gotten used to this subtle difference between the two.

"Tsk, no taste."

Unexpectedly, the fake saintess pouted and said, "Someone like you who is born to be pampered can't endure any hardship."

"what?"

Ella had no idea where this fake saintess's awkward hostility came from. She had kindly invited her for tea, so why was she resorting to personal attacks?

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences?" Ella's expression immediately turned sour. She summoned her tentacles to retrieve the teacup and began the second phase of the interrogation ahead of schedule.

The fake saintess had her tea taken away after taking a sip, and she dared not speak out against it.

"Let's continue."

Ella beckoned a small tentacle to the table, held a quill pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote a note on a blank parchment scroll. "First question, we've known each other for a long time, but I still don't know your name."

"I do not know either."

The fake saint puffed out her cheeks, still resentful that Ella had taken away her teacup.

"...You don't want to say, right?"

Ella said in a deep voice, "It seems I really need to teach this guy a lesson, otherwise people will think I'm so kind."

"I just don't know, I don't have a name."

The fake saintess met Ella's gaze. "When I was born into this world, I was all alone, without father or mother, so I didn't have a name."

"Forehead."

Ella stroked her chin; what the other person said seemed to be true.

"Okay, so how do people usually address you? For example, your colleagues at work?"

"Light Witch."

"...This is indeed not very suitable as a name."

Ella was a little speechless. "Never mind, next question."

"Your origins... Are you truly the daughter of the God of Light?"

"The Authority of Light and I are connected by blood; at first, that was all I knew. Then I met the Old Gods of the company, and they told me my identity. In addition, the head of the Rossia family also mentioned it before..."

The fake saintess frowned slightly halfway through her speech.

"Wait a minute, aren't you also the daughter of the God of Light? In terms of seniority, you're my sister. Why do you address me as if you have no relation to the God of Light at all?"

“I was born into the Lorenhaviere family as a human, how could a god possess a human body?”

Ella disagreed.

The fake saintess seemed unaware of this issue and immediately became puzzled.

"Hiss... So you're actually an evil god who uses the name of a god? I've also heard others say that you are the daughter of light, but it seems that's not entirely true."

"Is it possible that I am just an ordinary human chosen by God?"

"Do you think I will believe it?"

Ella chuckled. "But who told you I'm the daughter of the God of Light?"

"company."

The fake saintess answered succinctly, "Many of their high-ranking officials are gods who have existed since ancient times, and they know some of the secrets among the new gods."

"About ten years ago, the God of Light, in order to avoid madness, gave birth to two offspring and then disappeared. It was from that time that the world gradually began to fall into chaos."

"Demons and monsters are rampant, evil gods are causing chaos, and the old gods are secretly stirring... This is a saying circulating among those gods, but it is estimated that there are not many righteous gods left in the heavens who can still live freely."

"Were they all taken care of by your company?"

Ella asked again.

"It wasn't us, it was them."

The fake saintess was dissatisfied with Ella's title, saying, "I don't know exactly what those gods in the company are doing. The only god I've ever met in the council has only given me instructions."

"The Supreme God of the Council?"

Ella noticed the peculiar title in the false saint's words.

"The Council of Gods, the highest level of this organization called 'Caesar Corporation'."

The fake saintess confessed, "It is said that the group is composed of four particularly powerful gods, who are called 'high gods'. I have only seen one of them."

It wasn't easy. After half a year of back and forth with the company, Ella has finally heard the code name of their highest decision-making body.

"What kind of gods are they exactly? What divine authority do they wield?"

"...To be honest, I don't know, I don't even know if any of them are current gods. Because even when they meet with the lower levels, they only appear in disguise. The company is divided into four factions based on the four gods, and each faction only has a general name for its own god."

"Then let's talk about how we address each other."

Ella nodded; at least this was some information.

"Adam was the supreme god of my original faction. This faction had the most employees who frequently conducted external activities and attracted a large number of travelers from other worlds. They were known as the 'Action Agency'."

"That's what the fake saintess replied."

"As for the others, their names are roughly as follows... 'Research Institute,' whose corresponding deity is 'Grandmother,' conducts various research experiments; the Fish Mother from Storm Harbor was created by them;"
