"You can't say that, Betty-sama." Reinhard said with a polite smile, "Ayanokouji was very difficult some time ago, and he has to face a lot of things every day."
"Of course Betty knows!" Beatrice pouted and said, "But if Betty was here, I could definitely help Kiyo!"
"Kiyotaka has been very difficult during this period." Emilia said with a smile, "After arriving in Priestella City, we should stay with Kiyotaka while he rests well."
Emilia shifted her attention to the others.
Currently, Felt was lying in front of the window, looking out the window expectantly, her small head shaking rhythmically, and a pair of cute tiger teeth were visible at the corner of her raised mouth, while Rem was wearing a maid uniform and sitting quietly beside her.
Roswaal and Ram were negotiating with other border lords on the other side of the kingdom's border, so they didn't come here.
Ayanokouji now had great power in the royal capital, but his influence in other areas was still relatively limited, so he sent Roswaal to gain support from those people.
"Ayanokouji is a very good person." Reinhard said, this time the other party asked him to escort everyone.
Ayanokouji had prepared the stage in Priestella City beforehand, and Reinhard was the protagonist. He needed his strength to deal with the Sin Archbishop, while ensuring the safety of Emilia and Beatrice.
Emilia, Beatrice, and the others were one of the ways Ayanokouji used to guide Reinhard to Priestella City. In this way, after killing the Sin Archbishop, Ayanokouji could give this reward to Emilia to further increase his influence in the outlying cities.
Priestella City, as a border city, had an extraordinary status. If everything went well, Emilia's reputation would become even more famous in the border cities.
And Ayanokouji could take the initiative to guide them to a safe place, so they could avoid danger.
The dragon carriage had started, and everyone was looking forward to heading towards the water gate.
The scene changed. On the other side of the kingdom, Ayanokouji and Elsa had convinced the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony to make a promise to attack Priestella City in three weeks as they told the other Sin Archbishops.
Now only the last one was left.
The Sin Archbishop of Lust Regulus.
During Emilia's trial, Ayanokouji saw with his own eyes the terrifying power of Regulus, and Petelgeuse could only be killed instantly in front of him.
Regrus's power could be said to be truly invincible. He could suspend his time status, which meant he wouldn't be hurt at all. Even Reinhard couldn't hurt him.
But all of this was based on others not knowing his powers.
After he knew his power, Regulus's threat would be greatly reduced, and it could even be said that the threat he posed was much smaller than others.
Now Ayanokouji not only understood the principle of his power but also almost understood his character.
Selfish, arrogant, self-righteous, and extremely egotistical. Any actions taken by others that made him feel unhappy would be considered a violation of his rights, and he would always put himself on the side of the victim.
There was no doubt that this was a big baby.
When dealing with someone like Regulus, if others were not careful, the other party might think that he violated his rights, and he would die without a burial place.
But for Ayanokouji, such a personality was easier to control.
He was like a child with an extreme personality, but as long as he could keep his mood happy and make him feel obedient, then the other party's behavior would be very predictable.
It could be said that the moment Ayanokouji learned information about Regulus, the strongest Sin Archbishop was already sentenced to death.
Now, he would begin preparations for the execution.
Currently, he came alone to the location obtained based on information provided by Echidna, Regulus's residence, an unmatched giant house.
Inside, lived dozens of women who were forcibly treated as wives.
However, Ayanokouji didn't choose to knock on the door. Instead, he stood in front of the door, maintaining an attitude that symbolized respect.
Disturbing him without permission risked making Regulus angry, so Ayanokouji chose to wait.
Although the wait was long, it was necessary.
After almost an hour passed, the door finally opened, and a man came out. He had white hair, although he was ordinary, his facial features felt very unremarkable. He wasn't fat, thin, or tall, he was short and looked like a background figure. If only looked at his appearance, he would give a weak impression and would be immediately overshadowed by the crowd.
Regulus Corneas looked exactly the same as he did during the trial.
"I am the Sin Archbishop in charge of Lust – Regulus Corneas, who are you?" His eyebrows furrowed, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"Regulus-sama, may I introduce myself?" Ayanokouji bowed respectfully at ninety degrees, his tone was also very respectful, and he didn't continue speaking after saying this.
Regrus raised his eyebrows slightly: "I agree."
"I am truly grateful for Regulus-sama's grace. I am the new Sin Archbishop of Pride, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka." Ayanokouji bowed again and said in a very polite tone.
"Sin Archbishop of Pride?" Regulus stretched out his hand and gently touched his chin, "Why did you come to see me?"
With Ayanokouji's extremely humble actions and words, the conversation with Regulus could still proceed smoothly.
"I know that Regulus-sama is an important person in the Witch Cult, so I think I, the new Sin Archbishop of Pride, should come and greet Regulus-sama no matter what."
"I saw you standing outside for a long time, standing like a scarecrow for a long time, right? Is this part of the greeting?" Regulus's expression gradually became serious, and his words seemed to have a trace of murderous intent.
"Sorry, Regulus-sama, can you give me the right to explain." Ayanokouji said calmly.
"Permission granted."
"I think now is a precious rest time for Regulus-sama. I cannot violate Regulus-sama's great right to enjoy his personal time, so I chose to wait outside until Regulus-sama wanted to meet me."
"Yes, you are the first intelligent Sin Archbishop." Regulus's expression gradually turned into a smile, and the change of emotions was almost invisible to the Sin Archbishops, "Finally, there is a man I don't hate so much."
"It is an honor for me to have the opportunity to speak with Regulus-sama."
"Your name is Ayanokouji, right? It seems I have an impression of this name, but I can't remember it at once. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Your performance today has earned my appreciation. If you respect others, you will also gain respect. This natural concern creates a world where each other can live and work peacefully and contentedly. People should not pursue too much, but should enjoy the happiness they have. Stop selfish desires and live a measured life, that's what you should do intelligently and deservingly respected."
Just by looking at this scene, no one would think that he was one of the most famous people among the Sin Archbishops.
"Yes, I agree with you very much, Regulus-sama. You are truly a great man." Ayanokouji said in a flattering tone, and Regulus's face immediately showed a happy smile.
"But there is one thing I think I need to tell Regulus-sama." Ayanokouji deliberately paused.
"What has happened?"
"Please, Regulus-sama, give me the right to explain."
"I give you the right to speak freely in front of me." Regulus's face once again showed an impatient expression.
"I heard about Capella, Sirius, and the others. It seems they are planning something."
"Those stupid, arrogant, and shameless women? They don't even know basic respect. Because of their existence, the world is not beautiful enough. What are they planning?" Regulus's facial expression almost disappeared, "Those people who don't respect me live in this world because of my gift to them. I am truly a saint."
"I heard that they seem to be heading to Priestella City together in twenty days to find the remains of the witch."
"The remains of the witch?" Regulus's voice rose, "Why didn't I know about these things?"
"It seems that the other Sin Archbishops are not ready to tell Regulus-sama about this..." Ayanokouji deliberately lowered his head, "They seem to be trying to suppress Regulus-sama's status in the church."
"Those people! Those people! They dare to violate my rights in the church. This is an act that has no respect, no morality, and no rules."
As the Sin Archbishop who committed almost all the crimes, Regulus talked about respect, morality, and rules, and looked very sanctimonious.
"Regulus-sama, I have a proposal, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
Although Regulus only verbally gave him the right to speak freely, Ayanokouji also knew that this person was unstable.
"Explain!"
"I also think Capella hurt Regulus-sama?"
Regulus immediately took out the Gospel from inside his clothes and opened it frantically: "There is nothing written in the Gospel. I who obey the Gospel should not do anything."
"Regulus-sama, there is nothing written in the Gospel. It means the Gospel doesn't impose any restrictions on you, right? You are certainly entitled to do anything, especially since others have violated Regulus-sama's rights first, I think you should defend your rights."
"That's right. They violated my rights first! Then I have to defend my rights. Killing them is right! It's okay!"
"I think Regulus-sama is the victim."
"Right!" Regulus said very confidently.
"Then, Regulus-sama, let me investigate the movements of other Sin Archbishops and get their specific plans before reporting to you."
"I allow you!" A smile reappeared on Regulus's face, "What reward do you want? You are the only person I trust in the church. We respect and understand each other. If everyone in this world is like you, how beautiful this world would be."
"It is my duty to help Regulus-sama solve his problems. I have no right to ask for a reward, but for me, Regulus-sama's respect is a gift that cannot be matched by others."
Ayanokouji bowed ninety degrees at this time, looking at the ground, and speaking slowly.
Regulus's thinking ability was so poor that he didn't realize that he had stepped step by step into the deadly trap set by him.

"Za Warudo!"
Blank's brother and sister shouted a certain dialogue for a certain character and held it for about five seconds.
"Although it's different, the Sin Archbishop of Lust does have OP power. Ayanokouji is so brave… He has clearly seen the terrifying power of Regulus with his own eyes, but he still chooses to be close to him.."
Shiro's slender body struggled to maintain balance and looked at her brother, Sora.
