This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 46: Let’s Go, Taking You to Find Joy

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Let’s Go, Taking You to Find Joy

Lette was feeling down; even though he was the one being framed, he had to turn around and comfort the culprit.

After coaxing Lilith, Lette explained the details to the two Archbishops and Master Constant.

Vanessa wouldn’t hesitate to exploit a loophole in her oath to come back; surely she had malicious intentions.

Besides guarding against her, the defenses of the Holy City needed to be tightened, leaving no openings for exploitation!

After discussing the specifics, the three got up to leave. Lette originally intended to invite them for a meal, but was politely declined.

Although the three acknowledged Lette’s culinary skills, the Holy City was in a severe crisis, both internally and externally, and they clearly had no time for leisure.

After seeing them off, Lette planned to take Emily and Lilith for a stroll and buy some casual clothes for them.

But as he turned to head back, he keenly sensed a trace of dark aura.

Without making a sound, Lette turned and slipped into the estate’s storeroom.

Sure enough, less than half a minute after he closed the door, a bat flew in through the window.

The bat landed and transformed into a fair-skinned, silver-haired, emerald-eyed middle-aged man, who knelt on one knee and saluted Lette with a hand over his heart.

"Reporting to you, sir! Number 89757 salutes you!"

"Why aren’t you assisting your new king properly and instead coming to me?"

"Sir! It was the king who sent me! We had an unexpected gain while clearing out the Dark Race!"

The vampire took out an envelope from his pocket and respectfully handed it over.

Lette took it and opened it, revealing a handwritten letter from Adros.

"You guys actually discovered a heretical outsider? Good! Well done! A great achievement!"

Lette was pleased as he put away the letter: "How is your new king performing?"

"Reporting to you, sir! The new king you arranged for us is indeed competent! Under his leadership, we are making remarkable progress!

We believe it won’t be long before we present you with a perfect answer."

"Do not underestimate anyone, this situation is much more complex than you imagine. By the way..."

Lette took out a Magic Crystal Core and closed his eyes to inscribe some information into it.

The news of the arrival of the Gun Knight Princess must be conveyed to Adros. After all, they were the most vulnerable to becoming Vanessa’s breakthrough point.

"Give the Demon Crystal to Adros, everything I want to say is inside. Also, if you encounter another heretical outsider, don’t act rashly, report it to me."

"Rest assured, sir!"

The vampire carefully stored the Demon Crystal and bowed again: "Then, I shall take my leave!"

Lette nodded slightly, and the vampire transformed back into a bat, flying out the window.

"The Primordial Fire Divine Sect, interesting..."

Lette pondered over the intelligence in the letter as he returned to the living room.

As it turned out, Lilith was still down about what had just happened, and Emily seemed yet to recover from numerous demises.

Flander was engrossed in mumbling, striving to comprehend the mysteries of the Light Magic Ring.

Lette couldn’t help but sigh: "In this household, besides me, isn’t there anyone normal?

Goodness...

Flander, I’ll give you a day off today, go enjoy yourself at the New Church.

Lilith, Emily! You two, come with me!

Today I’ll take you out shopping, buy some new clothes. Then, we’ll find some fun, loosen up."

The two seemed uninterested in Lette’s idea of fun, but what girl can resist shopping for new clothes?

Well, actually there is someone, like Flander, who’s exploring the true meaning of the Magic Ring.

Upon hearing she was getting a day off, the little girl was overjoyed!

"Fantastic! Your Highness, I’ll be off then! I’ll impart the mysteries of the Light Magic Ring to my companions at the New Church!"

"Hold on, hold on, hold on!"

Lette hurriedly stopped her: "You can’t go around wildly spreading the mysteries of the Light Magic Ring!"

"Wh-Why?"

"Because new things will always be met with aversion and resistance by outdated folks, and may even cause them, under fear, to act extremely.

Have you forgotten how the New Church was initially rejected by the Holy Light Church?

They haven’t even fully accepted you yet!"

Flander nodded emphatically, knowing very well as a leader of the New Church how many rolling eyes and persecution they had endured along the way.

Lette persuasively, and with a voice seemingly magical, said: "So, for your own safety, and for the long-term spread of Light Magic Ring’s mysteries.

When you return this time, do not shout it out loud!

You should choose someone you absolutely trust, and develop them into a, well... comrade first.

Then you can find someone they trust, developing comrades one by one.

Until you have the superior numbers and are sure, then you raise your arm and fully seize control of the New Church!

Let the mysteries of the Light Magic Ring become the guiding doctrine of the New Church’s advancement!"

"Yes! Your Highness is indeed wise! Flander now knows what to do!"

The little girl, eyes blazing with admiration, gave a deep bow to Lette and energetically left the estate.

Watching Flander’s back as she left, Lilith clicked her tongue.

"Tsk tsk tsk! The New Church split from the Holy Light Church, and you split the New Church! You really have a knack for it!"

"Do you still want new clothes or not?"

"Oh~ wasn’t I praising you, Lette~ you’re the best!"

Lilith, true to her nature as an Enchanting Demon, switched from disdain to coquettish in an instant, leaving Emily stunned.

"Do we... have to go?"

Emily felt a bit conflicted; she of course liked beautiful new clothes. But buying clothes meant another round of "Survive 100 Seconds as a Mage" would begin.

"I won’t force you if you don’t want to go..."

"I’m going!"

At the thought of Lette leaving her behind, Emily’s instincts promptly made the decision for her.

Lette gave a thumbs up: "Alright, for beauty’s sake, what’s dying a few more times? Let’s go! For your resolve, buy as much as you want today!

It’s on me!"

Lette immediately took the two onto a carriage, heading for the most bustling commercial street on the outskirts of the Holy City.

With the Holy Presence Ceremony approaching, more and more people came to the Holy City for pilgrimage. Yet the carriage marked with the disciplinary black knight’s emblem traversed the city unhindered.

Seeing the bustling shops and dazzling array of goods on both sides, Emily was thrilled.

From the day she entered the city, she had been longing for this place, and now it was even more thriving than she had imagined.

"Alright, we’re here!"

Lette jumped off the carriage and opened the carriage door: "Ladies, start your spree of wild shopping!"

Emily quickly got off the carriage and looked at the crowded street and the numerous unique shops, her heart beating uncontrollably faster.

She might be a noble, but this was the most prosperous street in the most prosperous city in the world!

"Really! Can I buy whatever I want?"

"Emily, don’t hold back with him."

Lilith hopped out of the carriage: "Half the shops on this street would call him boss at the sight of him."

"Huh?!"

Emily looked up with wide eyes in alarm: "Then! What about the other half?"

"The other half? They’d call him landlord."
