Traversing to another world, Lin En is captured right from the start. The captor is the antagonist princess from the original work, intending to control him by using him for hypnosis experiments. In a critical moment, Lin En comes up with a quick-witted plan, feigning the success of the experiment and deceiving her with his acting skills. But this was only a temporary measure. Because in the original story, her ending is very tragic, and none of her associates meet good ends. Hence, Lin En must pretend to be under the hypnosis while secretly being ready to flee at any moment. But gradually things start to take an unexpected turn. ... The Princess's Diary [The experiment was a success!] [As the sole specimen, I've decided to keep him by my side.] [Due to the curse mark on my face, I am loathed by the public, but he says I'm beautiful.] [I'm happy because people tell the truth when hypnotized.] [Alone with him, I impulsively kissed him.] [The feeling was strange and made me lose my composure, fortunately, he won't retain any memory of it after the hypnosis is lifted.] [So, it's okay to be a bit bolder, right?]
To truly weaken the faith of the people in Orn City towards the Lord of Billion Stars, Lynn felt that he needed to add more fuel to the fire.
So that very evening, he set fire to the Heavenly Principle Church.
...
Time rewinds to this morning, at the City Square.
Due to the fundraising turmoil that had stirred up Orn City over the past few days, nearly every church in the city had been involved.
Thus, it had now evolved into a competition between religious beliefs.
Most of the faithful had become fanatical.
Not only that, but it had become a daily pastime for the city's people to pass by the City Square at least once a day to check on the varying amounts in the donation boxes.
Under the onslaught of large sums of money, their spirits gradually numbed.
After all, it was wealth they could never possess in their lifetimes.
They actually had to thank Duke Tierus for letting these poor people have a glimpse of the world.
