This Holy Knight is So Despicable!-Chapter 20 The Witch from the Fairy Tale

Before the cleanup plan began, Lette quietly had Lilith stay by the Watchtower, in case any special situations arose.

Although Lette also had a decent understanding of souls, it was still more comfortable for Lilith, as an Enchanting Demon, to manipulate them.

Lette brought Emily back to his tent, and Lilith subsequently appeared.

"What's the matter, why so urgent?"

Lette revealed the soul fragment: "Emily, in a while, you will absorb this Soul Crystal.

The enemy is likely another Witch, and quite powerful.

I suspect she may have already completed that so-called [Witch's Banquet], obtaining forbidden power.

This would explain why she could advance to True Ancestor Rank and subdue nearly all the Dark Race forces.

We must gather as much information about her as possible, otherwise, dealing with her will be very troublesome."

Lilith circled the Soul Crystal, continuously swallowing: "This fragment indeed smells as sweet and delicious as Emily's soul.

How about this, let me swallow it!"

Lette grabbed Lilith: "You can't, she has to swallow it. If Emily encounters any issues, you can still save her.

But if something happens to you, it'll be a problem for us to save you.

Only the best pilot gets to be the backup in the parade, understand?"

"Wuuu... okay."

Emily looked at the soul fragment floating in front of Lette with fear and stepped back two steps.

"I... I'm scared."

Seeing this, Lette took a deep breath and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Emily, let me be clear. Matters involving witches are not fun and games.

To resolve this issue, many people might die, including myself.

I understand you're scared. If you choose not to do this, I won't force you.

But one thing is certain, I, Lette, would never entrust my back to someone who chooses to retreat.

Everything comes at a cost.

If you don't have this awareness, aren't mentally prepared, and aren't willing to pay the price, that's okay.

But our cooperation will end here.

Once we return to the Holy City, I'll find a way to completely strip the Witch Power from you, turning you back into an ordinary noble lady, and then send someone to return you to your father's side.

This isn't a spring outing, it's a life-and-death struggle. A half-hearted coward will not just kill themselves but drag others down as well.

Perhaps from your perspective, you feel innocent. You did nothing wrong, yet you end up in such a predicament.

I'm not a life coach, nor am I interested in guiding you.

In short, this is the situation."

With that said, Lette presented the Soul Crystal to Emily: "So, choose.

Will you face the coming gale and waves, becoming the helmsman steering your solitary boat through life?

Or will you step back, reverting to being a noble lady, living a peaceful and uneventful life."

Emily lowered her head in silence, torn at the crossroads of her life.

As time ticked away, just as Lette sighed slightly and prepared to withdraw his hand, Emily suddenly raised her head with an unwavering gaze.

"I don't want to be a helmsman."

She seized the soul crystal core, swallowed it fiercely, and declared her choice while chewing vigorously.

"I want to be the captain!"

"Report to the captain!"

Lette saluted her: "This thing isn't meant to be taken orally, it's for external application!"

Emily, whose teeth ached, tearfully scolded: "You should have said earlier!"

Clearly, Lette was just teasing her. The soul crystal core quickly integrated into Emily's body, and she fainted straight away, rolling her eyes.

Seeing this, Lilith hurriedly transformed into a purple smoke to envelop her.

"It's okay; the soul is stable. She probably received too much information at once, causing a bit of overload. Let her digest it herself, and she'll be fine."

"That's good then..."

Lilith placed Emily on a simple camp bed, looking somewhat displeased at Lette.

"You do like them big!"

"What's gotten into you now?"

"Then why keep her around?"

"This was her own choice to stay. However, I'm quite relieved."

Lette, with arms crossed, looked at Emily on the bed: "She's a brave girl. Also, to solve the witch incident, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage without one or two witches on my side?"

"It seems you're really invested in this incident. Are witches really that difficult to deal with?"

Lette mused for a moment: "Do you know the saying, 'quantitative change leads to qualitative change'?

Based on the intelligence we have, witchcraft is practically a forbidden technique capable of overturning the world. If left unchecked, it will certainly lead to unpredictable, catastrophic disasters.

This world is quite fragile, after all. I don't want to end up homeless for no reason."

Lilith embraced Lette's neck, lifting his chin with a tempting gesture and voice.

"How could that be? Do you know how many dimensions in the Demon Realm are waiting for you to reign over? If you go, you'll certainly have them all responding to your call! Becoming the Demon King is just around the corner.

If that doesn't work out, I can take you to the Land of Enchanting Demon and ensure you're happy every day, forgetting all troubles."

Lette looked down with a calm expression, revealing a contemptuous smile.

"Ha!"

"Why are you laughing! You just stared at me there and laughed impolitely!"

"How can I stare and laugh at something that doesn't exist?"

"You like them big! I won't back down!"

Amidst the commotion, Emily emitted a powerful magic power fluctuation. Lette quickly went to her with a slightly odd expression.

"She actually advanced! From the Third level straight to the Fifth level Ninth Stage! Just one step away from the Holy Rank!"

In such a short time, Emily had already surpassed Knight Captain Kertes.

However, the barrier of the Holy Rank cannot be breached simply by strong magic power, let alone unconsciously.

As the magical fluctuations subsided, Emily slowly opened her eyes.

"You're awake?"

Lette looked at her with a smiling face: "Congratulations, it's a boy."

"What?"

Emily quickly turned over to stand but felt dizzy again and plopped back into the bed.

"Just joking, don't get excited."

"I saw her, saw that woman!"

Lette immediately turned solemn: "Tell me in detail!"

"Her skin is as white as snow, her lips as red as blood, and her hair as black as black rosewood. She..."

"Wait a minute! Why does this section sound familiar?"

Lette's spiritual light flickered as he pulled out the Complete Fairy Tales he carried with him and turned to the 'Princess Snow White' Chapter.

"Are you trying to trick me with a fairy tale? Is Princess Snow White actually a vampire? Hiss... It oddly makes sense."

Emily waved her hands repeatedly: "That's exactly how she looks! She's the Blood Witch!

I acquired parts of her memory; there are a total of seven witches like us. And she is the only remaining Primordial Witch in the world, holding vast intelligence on witches!

Her goal is to collect all Witch Power and then initiate [Witch Night], to gain the power to control the entire world."

Lette performed a Holy Healing Technique to help Emily stabilize her mind.

"Don't panic, take your time to explain..."
