Chapter 277: Chapter 254: Playful Puppy
"That’s right, you’re smart, just say it like that to the outside world."
Lynn pondered for a moment, acknowledging Sifrin’s cleverness.
In essence, the more straightforward they were, combining his reputation with Sifrin’s reputation, the less people would believe them, not even a punctuation mark.
People would only trust their own judgment, mainly because Sifrin’s character was well known across the Light Empire, and Lynn’s reputation was equally widespread.
To suggest that one day Sifrin became an honest, wholehearted Saintess and Lynn turned into a genuine saint resisting temptations would only mean they were so powerful they could even change their true natures!
"Can I leave now?"
Sifrin cautiously probed, she wasn’t afraid of what Lynn might do to her, but she was worried about Natasha, as dragons are never easy to deal with. She was genuinely concerned that Natasha might have hidden intentions towards her.
Thinking back to how she fearlessly slept alongside Natasha last night, Sifrin felt a faint soreness in her posterior...
"Go ahead, remember to put on a good show."
Since Sifrin was a smart person, Lynn didn’t need to over-explain. It was a minor issue. If he emphasized too much, it would appear he had a hidden agenda.
"Oh, okay, bye-bye."
Upon hearing Lynn allowing her to leave so easily, Sifrin quickly clutched her rear and dashed out of the room.
At this time, outside Lynn’s temporary palace, many eyes were gathered, but no one dared to openly watch them.
Finally, as the tightly closed door from last night opened, Sifrin stepped out in her pajamas, tail between her legs. As a powerful Saint Tier Light Divine Mage, the usually lively Holy Daughter limped as she walked, indicating she likely endured a lot from last evening till this morning.
Sifrin’s personal maid hurriedly cried out outside the conference room door last night, pleading for His Majesty the Saint Emperor to help their master, which alarmed a substantial crowd.
Except for the Saint Emperor of Light himself, the others didn’t care for Sifrin’s survival, since there wouldn’t be any real danger to her life, merely a threat to her chastity.
If she was harmed, they would rightly have a reason to strip her of her Saintess position. Nobody knew the trouble Sifrin, as the Saintess of Light, brought to the Light Church Court over the years, with the Church Court cleaning up after her messes repeatedly.
After all, Lynn wasn’t considered an outsider; as the true Light Divine Envoy, he was the representative and executor of the Light God King in Miracle World. Thus, it was actually reasonable for Lynn, as the envoy of the Light God King, to enjoy the company of the Saintess who served the Light God King.
Historically, there hasn’t been any recorded instance of a Divine Hall Saintess being truly blessed by a deity. It’s not that past Saintesses weren’t beautiful enough, but mainly because the two realms were separated, and the deity was out of reach...
The only one thinking differently might be His Majesty Akelie. Regardless of the situation, he was ultimately Sifrin the Saintess’s biological father.
No matter how troublesome or rebellious this daughter was, their blood ties couldn’t be changed.
Watching his daughter fall into the wolf’s den, it’s impossible to claim his heart was at peace.
If asked whether he could rescue her, Akelie could only shrug helplessly.
If it were someone else, even if they were more powerful than him, he would risk his life to challenge anyone who dared to touch his daughter.
But the one who captured his daughter Sifrin was Lynn...
He could disregard Lynn’s level 999 Near God strength and even ignore his identity as the Light Divine Envoy.
Yet to dare to challenge the World-saving Hero, who saved countless people from the plight of demons, repeatedly repelling Demon Race invasions, and now preparing to solve the Demon Race invaders on the Divine Protection Continent, reclaiming long-lost territories for Miracle World.
The deeds he’s accomplished and is about to accomplish make it impossible for anyone to care about his flaws or minor mistakes.
While occupying the Saintess of Light at any time would be a grave sin, worthy of being executed even ten times over, the alleged grave crime doesn’t even compare to the merits Lynn has achieved.
In the endless light that could illuminate countless miles, if there’s one small dark spot, who would point at the sun illuminating the earth and say, "How dare you get so dark, quickly confess your crime and accept punishment?"
Thus, hearing about his daughter captured in Lynn’s room, Akelie pondered silently for a long time, unable to decide on a rescue plan.
And so, it dragged on throughout the night. Even when dawn arrived, someone came to report to him, Akelie was still tangled in his thoughts.
"Your Majesty the Saint Emperor, the Holy Daughter just came out of the Divine Envoy’s room, her condition doesn’t look well, should we immediately send someone to fetch her?"
After Sifrin shakily escaped—or rather, was released—a spy who kept watch all night immediately approached Akelie for instructions on how to handle the situation.
Though already late to intervene, the Holy Daughter was ultimately the daughter of His Majesty the Saint Emperor. While she was in the Divine Envoy’s room, it was inconvenient to rescue her. But now that she’s out, surely she shouldn’t be left limping back to her room on her own.
The amount of ridicule she would face along the way would be immense. Although the Holy Daughter couldn’t care less about such things, who knows what changes she might undergo after last night’s "transformation."
