Chapter 7 Beautiful Miss, Marry Me! (1)

"Perhaps," thought Mr. Brave, "if he knew about the rumors about himself, he, too, would consider himself a heretic and look down upon himself as a despicable person, distancing himself from who he was."

Yet at the moment, Angelica's heart was filled with an unprecedented emotion.

In reality, the script Qin Chu prepared had many holes. At the very least, judging by her outfit alone, Angelica simply could not be the Holy Daughter. Where would there be a Holy Daughter dressed as a maid?

But now, with her emotions of being moved and wronged surging forth, where would she find the energy to think about these inconsistencies?

She was a pitiful woman, and Qin Chu also felt somewhat apologetic toward Angelica.

The first week, when Qin Chu knew of the rumors about Angelica, he too kept a distance from her, and due to the exclusion, insult, bullying, and torment she received from others, she eventually had a mental and physical collapse. She turned into a terrifying, bizarre creature and was ultimately killed by Qin Chu himself.

In the last moment of her life, Angelica even reminded Qin Chu to be cautious of Rose Vesper.

Regrettably, Qin Chu was not aware of Rose Vesper's true nature at that time and did not take Angelica's warning seriously.

Angelica harbored a deep hatred for Rose Vesper and was equally resentful toward the Church Court, which hastily judged her to be a heretic without thorough investigation.

Additionally, being a Saintess Candidate, Angelica also possessed considerable strength.

Considering all these factors, she could be a helpful ally to attack Rose Vesper.

Seeing Angelica's tear-stained face, Qin Chu quickly stepped forward, raised his finger, and wiped the teardrop from the corner of her eye, "Please, don't cry. If others see this, they might think I'm bullying you..."

His flustered demeanor made Angelica laugh through her tears. Mr. Brave really was a gentle person. If this counted as bullying, what would she consider the bullying she had endured before?

Just having met him not long ago, Angelica already felt an increased fondness for Qin Chu.

But Angelica was clear about her identity and the rumors about her. She quickly composed herself and stepped backward, "Mr. Brave, please don't be so gentle with me. If the Holy Daughter were to see us, it would make her angry. After all, according to the oracle, the Holy Daughter is destined to be the Brave's lover..."

Bah... The Holy Daughter is Rose Vesper, but there are at least two Bravos, and if this Second Generation Brave can't deal with the demons, there might even be a third or fourth generation. Are they all meant to be the Holy Daughter's lovers? There wouldn't be enough of her to go around.

This so-called oracle is just bullshit.

Muttering disdainfully in his heart, his face, however, showed nothing but smiles, "Is that so? But I don't like Rose Vesper; compared to her, I prefer maids..."

Angelica's face turned red instantly, her emotions that she had just managed to gather were once again stirred up.

She glanced sideways at Qin Chu somewhat shyly, "Mr. Brave, you're joking with me again. I need to hurry and help you change. There are so many important figures waiting; we can't keep them for too long..."

Indeed, she could not be swayed by Mr. Brave's words, knowing that she and the Brave belonged to entirely different worlds, and could not hold onto any unrealistic fantasies.

Qin Chu, seeing it was enough, did not continue to flirt.

With the assistance of Angelica, Qin Chu changed into a form-fitting and elaborate tailcoat knight suit.

The scenario that had once unfolded was repeating, but Qin Chu's mindset was entirely different now.

At the banquet, lanterns shone and wines flowed, various exquisite pastries, perfectly flavored drinks neatly arranged on the shelves. These foods would surely not be finished, and the remainder would be discarded.

The orchestra played soothing music, while Qin Chu, with a smile filled with insincerity, accommodated those enthusiastically welcoming nobles and clergy.

Being a Brave was crucial; everyone wanted to establish a good relationship with the Brave. If this Brave could truly eliminate the demons, peace would follow, and those on good terms with the Brave would naturally reap greater benefits after the war.

Rose Vesper stayed close to Qin Chu's side, fervently introducing the identities of the nobles to him. Although there was no actual relationship between them, this woman deliberately created an illusion of closeness, appearing to others undoubtedly as the Brave's girlfriend, thereby elevating her status.

Watching their friendly and enthusiastic behaviors, Qin Chu inwardly sneered; he would never forget the proud expressions on these people's faces when they executed him during the first week.

He wouldn't let any of these people go.

As the third round of drinks was served, and Wozworth, the muscular Emperor of the Oville Empire, who attended the banquet still decked in his military garb, Pope Augustus from the Holy Court in his pure white robe looking like a benevolent old man, and Church Venerate Saint Monica from the Earth Mother Goddess Church, radiating a mature woman's grace and full of compassion, circled around Qin Chu.

Having been through the first week, Qin Chu, of course, knew what these people intended to do.

"Mr. Brave," Wozworth said with a smile, "I hope you can face everyone in the Imperial City tomorrow and make a public declaration... The demons have intensified their attacks recently, many soldiers have fallen grievously, and the citizens are terror-stricken. A public appearance by the Brave is sure to boost their morale."

Qin Chu sipped the red wine from his goblet, "Your Majesty... I haven't yet agreed to confront the demons, have I?"
