This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

Having achieved their goal, these Divines swarmed out of the Holy Light Divine Court.

The once bustling reception hall quieted down as a result.

Lette put away both weapons and turned to leave, but was stopped by Afra.

"Where are you going?"

"To enjoy my wonderful trio life."

"Wow, you can actually say that."

"What's the problem?"

Afra pointed at Lette, "Shouldn't we think of a strategy? What if they pull some tricks?"

"They will definitely pull tricks, but for now, we don't know what tricks they'll use. Since we don't know, how can we think of a strategy?"

Lette shrugged, "We can only analyze it when the time comes.

So for now, there's no need to worry or overthink.

Rest well, just wait for tomorrow's gamble."

Afra leaned closer to Lette, "Aren't you well-known throughout the Demon Realm? When the time comes..."

"Hmph, I am indeed well-known throughout the Demon Realm.

But if they know what Divine Artifact you're lacking, how could they not know things about me?"

Lette picked at his ear and said, "They chose the first battle to be one day later.

This implies they've prepared against me, and they're afraid if it's too long, we'll notice.

With only one day's time, even if we notice, we probably won't have time to compensate."

"So what do we do?"

Lette showed no signs of tension and instead laughed loudly.

"How do you know their preparations are really effective?

Gods are often arrogant and proud; if they think they're well prepared, isn't it actually more beneficial for us?"

Lette put his hand on Afra's head, "Rest assured, even if I don't care about your Divine Artifact, do you think I wouldn't care about Joanna?"

Afra blinked and asked, "Then, will we win?"

"We will win."

After saying this, Lette's form dispersed. When he blinked again, he was back next to the Life Mushroom.

Upon returning to the Holy Light Great World, the playful smile on Lette's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

Yes, his previous arrogance and underestimation were deliberately feigned.

In such an important gamble, with the opponent so blatantly resorting to tricks, Lette naturally wouldn't let his guard down.

He had done this just to give Afra an illusion.

It's not that Lette doubted Afra's loyalty; she was definitely his person, which was beyond doubt.

But Lette learned a lesson early on: if the ruler is not secretive, they will lose their subjects, and if subjects aren't secretive, they lose their lives. A few matters not kept secret lead to disaster.

Important things should be known by as few people as possible. Even if there's a need to conspire with someone, choose reliable and trustworthy ones.

Afra, though one of his own, isn't very reliable.

If some secret mission was told to her, she might get tricked by someone with ill intentions into revealing information.

Or, she might unknowingly do something unnecessary, accidentally leaking the information.

But this person also has a strong sense of self-respect!

If these words were spoken plainly, she'd definitely throw a tantrum and act bratty.

So it's better to give her the image of having a winning hand, let her calm down, while he goes to do the real intelligence work.

Lette returned all the way from the Life Mushroom to his manor, seeing that Lilith and Joanna were still out and hadn't returned, he lay down on the specially made three-person bed alone.

With a close of his eyes, Lette entered the realm of dreams.

Immediately after, he used a secret technique to arrive at the Gap of Dreams.

He didn't stay a moment in the Gap of Dreams and went directly to the old site of Fairy Town, from where he entered the Fairy Tale Subspace.

"Old Pi! Old Pi! Quickly take me to the Fairy Tale Kingdom!"

Lette stood in place and shouted a few times, but there was no response.

Helplessly, he had to head towards the Fairy Tale Kingdom on his own.

Fortunately, the entrance wasn't too far from the Fairy Tale Kingdom, and he arrived after a short walk.

"Old Pi, what are you doing? Didn't you sense my arrival? What do you do as the Master of the Fairy Tale World?"

Lette angrily pushed open the door to the King of Fairy Tales' palace, only to be startled.

The Liar Demon, Pinocchio, the Master of Fairy Tales, was slouched in the chair, eyes unfocused, with empty wine bottles by his side.

"What happened to you? You've become so disheveled in such a short time?"

Pinocchio glanced at Lette, his head hanging, "Alice left, not sure when she'll return. I'm such a useless teacher that I couldn't escort her all the way.

What if she encounters danger? What if she gets lost? What if..."

"Wow, you sound like an old demon lamenting an empty nest?"

Lette, a bit speechless, ascended the throne and pulled him up, "Wake up! You're at least a conceptual level strongman, look at you now?

If I had known you'd turn out like this, I would've put you back into the Eye of the sea."

Seeing Pinocchio in this state, Lette suddenly regretted it, feeling this guy was terribly weak now, even less reliable than Afra.

"If you keep this up, I'll take a picture of you and show it to Alice when she returns!"

"No! Don't!"

The Liar Demon instantly sprang up, "You're destroying the grand image I have as a teacher in Alice's mind."

"If you really want to maintain a grand image as her teacher in Alice's mind, please achieve something significant during her absence!

So when Alice returns, she'll be amazed.

Wow, my teacher is such an incredible person! Before, he seemed idle; it was all to teach me, which diverted his attention.

Once he dedicated himself to his career wholeheartedly, he achieved such great things!

My teacher is truly amazing!

And so on!"

The Liar Demon, after hearing this, jumped off the throne and grabbed Lette's hand.

"Boss! I've got it! Give me a big project! Let me shine! Let me burn with passion! Let me fight for a great cause, even to death!"

"There is indeed something now that needs you to handle, only if you do it, I'll be more reassured... where did you get all this wine?"

"Oh, I created it using my ability, the power of making lies real!"

"Don't use the precious Power of Lies on such frivolous things!"

Lette snatched the bottle over and took a couple of sips, "The taste is quite good! Get me two bottles, I'll have a candlelight dinner tonight, to set the mood."

"No problem! By the way, boss, what did you come to see me about?"

"Oh, I got so annoyed by you I almost forgot the main task! Old Pi, I need you to go to the demons and gather some intelligence.

You know, they fear you the most."

"Boss, I think they fear you even more?"
