Perhaps, after Mr. Brave learns about the rumors regarding himself, he will also think that he is a heretic and regard himself as a disgraceful person, staying away from himself.
But at least for now, Angelica's heart is filled with unprecedented emotion.
In fact, there were quite a few holes in the script arranged by Qin Chu, the least of which is that based solely on her attire, Angelica could not possibly be the Holy Daughter. Where is there a Holy Daughter dressed as a maid?
But right now, Angelica's heart is overwhelmed with emotions like being moved and wronged. Where would she find the strength to consider these things?
She is a very pitiable woman, and Qin Chu also felt some remorse towards Angelica.
In his first week, when Qin Chu knew about the rumors surrounding Angelica, he kept his distance from her, and this woman, due to the rejection, insults, bullying, and torture from others, suffered a mental and physical breakdown, becoming a horrifying monster, and in the end, it was still Qin Chu who killed her with his own hands.
In the last moments of her life, Angelica was even reminding Qin Chu to be wary of Rose Vesper.
It's just that at that time, Qin Chu didn't know Rose Vesper's true colors and didn't take Angelica's warning seriously.
Angelica harbored a deep hatred toward Rose Vesper and also for the Church Court that condemned her as a heretic without proper investigation.
At the same time, as a Saintess Candidate, Angelica herself possessed considerable strength.
Considering all these factors, she could be a potential ally against Rose Vesper.
Seeing Angelica's tearful rubbing of her eyes, Qin Chu quickly stepped forward, raising his finger to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes: "Please, don't cry. If others see this, they'll think I've been bullying you…"
His flustered demeanor brought a smile to Angelica's tear-streaked face. Mr. Brave truly is a kind person. If this counts as bullying, then what would one call the torment she had suffered before?
Having only met for a short time, Angelica quickly developed a favorable impression of Qin Chu.
But Angelica was very aware of her status and the rumors about her, and she quickly composed herself again, taking a step back: "Mr. Brave, please don't be so kind to me. If the Holy Daughter sees this, she will be upset… After all, according to the oracle, the Holy Daughter is destined to be the Brave's lover…"
Pah… The Holy Daughter is Rose Vesper, yet there are at least two Braves. If I, as the Second Generation Brave Warrior, can't handle the demons, there might be a third or fourth. Could they all be the lovers of the Holy Daughter? Not enough to go around, right?
The so-called oracle is just bullshit.
Muttering disdainfully in his heart, his face still displayed a full smile: "Is that so? But, I don't like Rose Vesper. Compared to her, I prefer the Maid Miss…"
Angelica's face flushed red in an instant, her emotions that she had just managed to calm down now violently stirred again.
She shyly glanced at Qin Chu: "Mr. Brave, you're teasing me again. I still need to hurry and help you change clothes. There are so many important people waiting; we can't let them wait too long…"
Indeed, she absolutely could not be swayed by Mr. Brave's words, as she and the Brave were from two entirely different worlds; she couldn't hold onto unrealistic fantasies.
Qin Chu, seeing that things were going well, did not continue to flirt.
Under Angelica's service, Qin Chu changed into a fitted and intricate tailcoat knight suit.
The scene he had once experienced was playing out again, only this time Qin Chu's state of mind was entirely different.
At the banquet, the lights were bright, and various exquisite pastries and perfectly flavored drinks were neatly arranged on the shelves. These foods would inevitably be left uneaten and discarded.
The orchestra played soothing music while Qin Chu, with feigned interest and insincerity, mingled with those nobles and clergy who greeted him enthusiastically.
The status of a Brave is extremely important. Everyone wanted to foster a good relationship with the Brave. If this Brave indeed could eradicate the demons and bring peace to the world, those who were close to the Brave would naturally reap more benefits after the war.
Rose Vesper, on the other hand, followed close by Qin Chu's side, eagerly introducing him to the nobility's identities. Although they had no actual relationship, this woman deliberately created the illusion that she was intimate with him, which in the eyes of others made her seem like the Brave's girlfriend, thereby elevating her own status.
Looking at the effusive and friendly faces around him, Qin Chu sneered in his heart. He would never forget when, in his first week, these people were executing him with pleased, arrogant expressions.
He would not let any of them off.
After three rounds of drinks, the Emperor of the Oville Empire, Wozworth, whose stature was so impressive he seemed a Barbaric Beast even in a banquet setting clad in battle attire, along with the Holy Court Pope Augustus, who donned a pure white robe and looked like a kind old man, and Church Venerate Saint Monica, who exuded dignified grace in her mature and beautiful appearance, radiating a sense of inclusiveness, surrounded Qin Chu.
Having experienced his first week, Qin Chu of course knew what these people wanted to do.
"Mr. Brave, we hope that tomorrow you can make a public declaration in the Imperial City in front of all the people…" Wozworth said with a smile. "Recently, the demons have been particularly aggressive, with heavy casualties among the front-line soldiers, instilling terror in the civilians. The Brave's public appearance would help boost morale."
Qin Chu sipped the red wine from his goblet: "Your Majesty… I don't seem to recall agreeing to fight against the demons for you, do I?"
