Altair felt a chill. He had never mentioned his plan to use Angelica to anyone. But what Hades just said sounded as if…
He had almost certainly decided to take Angelica.
“Why would the Saint suddenly come up in this conversation?”
“…Hmm.”
Hades made an ambiguous sound.
“So, you’re saying you don’t plan to take Angelica?”
“Yes.”
Altair quickly replied. Saying, ‘I hadn’t offered, but I was actually going to,’ would be like adding fuel to the fire.
“How strange.”
Hades’s eyes shone with a creepy light.
“Angelica was certain that she would follow you.”
Altair was flabbergasted.
“Did Your Majesty talk to her? What else have you heard?”
Altair tried to maintain his composure, but he was boiling inside.
‘That stupid Saint!’
He had a vague idea of what happened. The first princess had probably told her lovestruck duke, who would have thought it too dangerous to send Angelica on such a perilous journey.
‘…The use of the Devil’s Eye is also obvious.’
It was to save his dying lover.
But like the saying, ‘Every cloud has a silver lining,’ Altair quickly found a way out.
‘I mustn’t consider Angelica as just that bothersome Saint.’
That was only Angelica in the game.
Thanks to the first princess, Angelica had become important to both the first princess and Duke Donovan. If he used her well, he could control the two most powerful people in this world.
“No special talks.”
Although Hades responded nonchalantly, Altair easily sensed that he was lying.
If Angelica hadn’t provided enough information, Hades wouldn’t have so readily offered to come along but would have bombarded him with a series of questions.
Even if it meant resorting to torture.
“…The Saint is simply overzealous.”
“Do you oppose?”
“Yes.”
As Altair nodded, Hades wore a satisfied expression.
“Good. Now you can persuade Angel instead of me. Right, Angel?”
“…!”
Altair looked back in astonishment. Without any sign of her approach, Angelica had suddenly appeared, her face pale, glancing back and forth between him and Hades.
Hades burst into laughter.
“Seems like I’ve heard enough, actually.”
“……”
Angelica’s lips quivered. Instead of trying to persuade Hades or Altair, she appeared to be in a state of panic.
Seeing this, a certain thought crossed his mind.
‘The more she’s like this… the easier she is to use.’
Altair slowly opened his mouth.
“I don’t wish to persuade you, Holy Lady. I can’t arbitrarily negate your wishes. You are free, free to go wherever you wish.”
A subtle distortion crossed Hades’s face. Likely because he knew where Altair’s conclusion was headed.
Altair pointed out the window.
“In this heavy snowfall, even the demons find it difficult to approach. We can consider having a few days’ time. And there is a magic teleportation stone at the chamberlain’s.”
The moment he mentioned the chamberlain, both Hades’s and Angelica’s faces tightened.
“Using that stone, we could reach the Demon King quickly. Your Highness, if you and the chamberlain come along, I estimate it will take merely three days to defeat the Demon King… What do you both think?”
The first to speak was Hades.
“So, you intend to bring me along with the chamberlain?”
“Yes.”
Altair nodded.
“The chamberlain won’t easily agree to come.”
“I believe the two of you can somehow persuade him.”
Angelica’s face became ambiguous. It wasn’t a look of uncertainty, but one of trying to decode the implication, when Hades asked another question.
“And asking for Angelica’s opinion means… you intend to include her in a journey that would defeat the Demon King and return in merely three days?”
“That’s right.”
Hades shook his head. His tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
“That won’t do.”
“Why?”
In truth, Altair had asked even though he already knew the answer. Angelica’s capabilities were trivial; she would only burden others.
Of course, that very triviality would eventually trip up Hades and become a weapon for Altair.
However, what came out of Hades’s mouth was completely beyond Altair’s expectation.
“Angelica is too young and precious to go to such a place.”
Upon hearing this, Angelica’s face turned as red as a ripe summer peach.
Altair thought to himself.
I hate it, these lovebirds……

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
