This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 55: Troublesome Woman (Third Update)

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Troublesome Woman (Third Update)

After returning to the estate in the Holy City, Lette wasted no time and set up a compound barrier array for Emily in an empty room on the second floor overnight.

This array was fully functional, allowing Emily to randomly open different elemental subspaces and bless her with several sets of Life Blessings.

Moreover, there were three tests before entering the subspace to ensure that Emily could continuously participate in the "If you’re a mage, hold on for 100 seconds" challenge, version 2.0.

Actually, it wasn’t necessary for Lette to add so many layers of safety checks, as he had already placed over thirty Holy Light Spells on Emily.

Among them were Holy Rank and superposition spells, even several forbidden curses.

It’s tough for her to die.

But for her safety, Lette made all the necessary preparations.

Then he kicked Emily into an unknown elemental subspace and turned around to return to his room to sleep.

Even Lilith the Demon marveled at his incredible mental fortitude.

Lette originally intended to sleep a little longer after such a late night. Unfortunately, he was woken up early by Lilith to make breakfast.

Demons don’t need sleep since the day-night cycle in the Demon Realm is irregular.

The reason Lilith’s biological clock is more punctual than Lette’s is simply because she loves his cooking.

And considering Lette’s abilities, he technically doesn’t need sleep or food.

But he firmly believes in the old practice of health maintenance from his hometown, advocating for sleeping and waking with the dawn, and three meals a day, enjoying life to the fullest. So, he maintained good daily routines.

After some time in the kitchen, Lette plated breakfast and brought it to the dining table.

"I’ve made three portions; go call Emily. She’s only at the fifth level, so she still needs to eat."

"Tch~ Even fifth-levels need regular rest, right? You kept her up last night!"

Unwilling to move, Lilith shouted, "Emily! Come down for breakfast!"

"What’s it going to take to exhaust you? What if she’s not back from the elemental subspace?"

"I can sense life waves, you know!"

Before long, the sound of coming down the stairs echoed from the lounge, and Emily walked into the dining room with a tired face.

"Pfft!!!!"

Lette had just taken a sip of milk, and sprayed it out the moment he saw Emily.

"You you you! What’s your deal! Why are you dressed so scantily!"

Emily had her hair down, staring blankly, wearing only a pair of legless pants on her lower half and a sleeveless crop top on the upper half.

Lette never imagined he’d see hot pants and a crop top in this world.

"What’s the point of wearing clothes tightly? They still get shredded, burnt, or electrocuted into powder.

Having to change every time is just a hassle and a waste of time."

Emily spread her arms: "So I cut down on fabric as much as possible myself!

If I don’t wear them, I won’t worry about them getting destroyed, right?"

"Hey! This thought process is dangerous if you keep going that way! Is something wrong with your mind?"

Beside her, Lilith sighed: "When you die several times a minute, even the normal turn abnormal."

Still engrossed in her own world, Emily continued, "And I discovered that human skin can also sense the presence of magical elements!

Why do elemental creatures handle elements better than material creatures? Because their entire body can resonate with the elements!

If we want to defeat these elemental creatures, we need to abandon clothes and such..."

Lette stuffed half a piece of fried dough into her mouth: "Eat up, Miss! I’ve researched the topic of material and energy creatures deeper than you!

After breakfast, put on some proper clothes! I’ll give you two days off to explore the commercial street and relax.

Lilith, take her and get some decent clothes!"

"Spend freely?"

"Spend freely."

"Gladly!"

As Lilith was envisioning the joy of daily shopping trips, familiar shouting could be heard from outside.

"Boss! Boss! Bad news!"

"Taylor?"

Lette stood while chewing on the fried dough stick: "You two keep eating; I’ll see what’s going on."

He briskly exited the small building, waving his hand to lift the barrier on the estate gate. Once Taylor entered, he hurriedly ran up to Lette.

"Boss, it’s bad! Vanessa is coming!"

"I know... The teacher already told me a few days ago."

"Ugh, no! Vanessa is about to arrive in the Holy City! Two Archbishops, all members of the Three Great Sanctuaries, and the permanent members of the Holy Temple Council have already gone to Holy Presence Square to greet her!"

"What!?"

Lette shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, that’s impossible! I destroyed all their Holy Rose Knights’ cargo vehicles and leveled their camp just last night.

Re-equipping vehicles and supplies, then getting to the Holy City, should take at least half a month!"

"She came alone!"

Upon hearing this, Lette couldn’t help but chuckle coldly: "If she came alone, then it’s fine.

Even if she’s coming as a delegation envoy, one person alone can’t stir up much trouble.

The Three Great Sanctuaries, the Pope Palace, and the Holy Knight Order are all my people!

The entire Holy City’s defense has been taken over by your Holy New Army! Adros and his subordinates are maintaining order in secret!

What can she do against me alone?"

Seeing Lette so confident, Taylor’s emotions calmed down, too.

"Boss, the Pope asked that you also go to welcome her, since you’re now considered the highest authority in the Holy City. To show some respect to the emissaries from various countries."

"Now that you mention it, where’s my Holy Light Badge?"

Lette searched for a while before finding the medal and pinned it to his chest: "Alright, I’ll take the opportunity to taunt her a bit."

At this moment, Lilith popped her head out of a window: "I want to go too! We both want to go!"

"Eavesdropping again? You can come, but make the one inside put on proper clothes first!"

Taylor tugged at him: "Boss, let’s go first. If she’s here and you’re not present, it’ll cause trouble. You know the First Empire and our Church don’t get along well.

If they seize this opportunity and challenge us diplomatically, we’ll suffer."

Lette snorted coolly: "I think the First Empire is asking for a lesson. While I was in the Holy City for those two years, they were exceptionally well-behaved.

Okay, okay, don’t pull me! Lilith, let’s go! Remember! It’s Holy Presence Square!"

Lette’s estate was in a prime location in the Holy City, not too far from the famous Holy Presence Square. Hurried along by Taylor, they quickly made their way to the square.

At this time, the high-ranking officials from the various institutions of the Church had already arrived, and upon Lette’s arrival, everyone visibly relaxed.

Although the Holy City remained relatively peaceful amidst the turmoil and the pope’s illness, there was a looming tension that felt like an impending storm.

The Church’s high-ranking officials weren’t fools; they had long sensed the danger in the air.

Fortunately, at this time, Lette came back to stabilize the situation, taking charge, allowing everyone to breathe a little easier.

Everyone knew that despite his antics, Lette always stood firm on matters of principle.

Against the formidable First Empire Gun Knight Princess, his presence brought much-needed stability.

Standing at the chief position, Lette suddenly frowned: "Oh right, Taylor."

"What’s up, brother?"

"Welcoming diplomatic missions is usually done at the East Gate entrance, right? Why come to Holy Presence Square?"

"I don’t know. Vanessa’s magic scroll communication to the Church specified that everyone must come here."

"What gives her the right to change..."

Before Lette could finish, a huge shadow suddenly swept across the sky. Everyone looked up in awe and shock.

"Dragon! It’s a dragon!"

"Look! Those platinum scales! Two pairs of wings! That elegant form! It’s the legendary Light Holy Dragon!"

"Look! On the dragon’s back! It seems like there’s someone there!"

Staring at the Light Holy Dragon soaring through the sky with the rider on its back, Lette frowned slightly.

"Tsk, things just got complicated!"
