If You Want A Cheeky Seductress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 130

Aiwis recalled the spirit mage who had calmly accepted the sword, as if she had already foreseen her own death.

“A spirit mage who stepped forward to save people, knowing full well that revealing her power would mean death. The Empire and the Grand Temple, who refuse to dispatch Holy Knights unless shown proper deference—which of the two is more malicious?”

“…….”

“Moreover, it was strange. If spirits had created the rift, then why does the power of spirits inflict such excruciating pain upon monsters? For someone like me, who has heard since childhood about the corrupting power of spirit mages, that question was incredibly difficult to resolve.”

Aiwis straightened her back.

I thought, ‘This is dangerous.’ So I intercepted incoming reports and sent multiple letters requesting a meeting with the Grand Duke and Lady Franche.”

Aiwis gave a faint smile.

Floyd took a sharp step forward, startling Aiwis so much that she instinctively stepped back. But Floyd didn’t stop—he kept advancing.

“Listen carefully, Aiwis Brede. The princess does what she wants. No one—not the blasted Grand Temple, not the Empire—can stop her from doing what she wishes.”
