If You Want A Cheeky Seductress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 64

The source of the rumor was the people who had stubbornly remained in the forest village, unwilling to leave their own town. They had waited in the barren forest for the day their village would revive once more.

That day, when Roxiana used the power of the spirits, those who had stayed behind in the forest village sensed something extraordinary.

The trembling of the earth, a humid wind pushing aside the dry, crumbling air.

Though frightened, they could not suppress their curiosity and stepped outside the village—there they clearly witnessed the forest, once pitch black and dead, coming back to life, and a single woman standing at its center.

The commoners had no idea who the woman was, her platinum hair fluttering in the wind; she was merely a princess of the Lily Palace, a topic of gossip only among the Grand Ducal Palace and certain nobles, irrelevant to them. Yet they understood one thing clearly—the miracle unfolding in the forest had begun with that woman.

Later, Floyd and the knights, preoccupied with taking care of Roxiana, returned to the Grand Ducal Palace unaware that there had been witnesses. By the time they learned of the witnesses, the rumor had already spread far and wide.

People called the woman who healed the forest surrounded by wind “Goddess of the Forest,” “Spirit of the Trees,” or “Legendary Elf.” Especially among the villagers of the forest settlement—who had lost their homes but could now return—the woman was nearly regarded as a deity.

It was a troublesome problem. The priests strongly disliked any mention of a “god” other than God Weden.

Arsen said,

“It’s impossible to completely silence the people. Soon, this matter will reach the ears of the Empire and the Temple. We must prepare for the moment they send holy knights and priests to investigate.”

Arsen no longer suggested sending Roxiana away from the Grand Ducal Palace—and no one pointed out that fact.

Adrian leaned forward.

“My lord, I’ve been thinking—what if we gather the monsters emerging from the northwest rift without killing them, and then, when the Temple sends people, we direct the monsters onto the very path they’ll take? The holy knights coming for an investigation likely won’t be particularly strong, and at most there’ll only be two or three of them—they certainly couldn’t handle multiple monsters at once.”

Hexton slammed his mug down and boomed out heartily,

“That’s a brilliant idea! If we’re lucky, the holy knights will all be wiped out; if not, they’ll barely escape with their lives, running off with their tails between their legs. Just imagining it is exhilarating!”
