Alice sneered in her heart, mocking the crippled bitch as she didn’t believe that Swan could be the true Saintess. freewebnovel.cσ๓
’The Saintess should be perfect. She needs to have a pure heart, a beautiful face, and most importantly, NOT a cripple!’ Alice told herself. The only one in her mind who deserved the title of Saintess was Princess Aria alone!
But, it would be stupid for Alice not to take the chance to beg for forgiveness from the Swan immediately. She didn’t care if Swan was the true Saintess or not. As long as Swan could use her filthy dark magic to free her out of this dungeon, then she would be more than willing to act pitifully.
If she had to be honest, she was scared of being executed by the Beast King. Hence, Alice showed her most pitiful face as she begged the Saintess, whom she deemed fake, "Please save me too, Saintess! I-I am the devout follower of the Goddess of the Sun! My life has always been full of grievances. I was beaten by Lady Jade, and forced to work under her. I was punished, and then unjustly imprisoned!"
Alice started shedding tears to make her act even more convincing, "I-I was the one who told His Majesty about the whole exchanging letter with Rock Silverfang, but you should know that I did it out of devotion, right? After all, you are THE Saintess, you must’ve known everything!"
Alice continued to cry pitifully, but deep down, she sneered at Swan who was staring at her with a thin smile on her face.
’You crippled bitch. I know you must’ve been using powerful dark magic to trick the Goddess. How could a filth like you become a Saintess? That’s just impossible!’ Alice accused in her heart.
"Surely, if you are the TRUE Saintess, you will forgive me for all my sins as long as I repent for all my mistakes, right?" Alice asked. "If you didn’t forgive me for all my sins, then you’re not the true Saintess! You’re just a poser!"
Meanwhile, Swan was conflicted in her heart.
She wanted to help Alice because she thought that was what a good Saintess was supposed to do.
She had to accept anyone and save everyone as long as they repented.
However, the Saintess in her head told her no, and forbade her to accept Alice’s hand who was desperately trying to get closer to Swan.
’You shouldn’t forgive her, Swan,’ the Saintess warned. ’You already heard what was in her mind just now. She laughed at your condition, insulted you, and doubted your identity as the daughter of the Goddess.’
’But, if I don’t forgive her, can I be called a good Saintess? Aren’t I supposed to save everyone?’
’The Saintess saves those she wants to save. Not everyone deserves salvation, and not everyone will repent for their sins, just like this bunny beastman,’ the Saintess assured her.
"Of course, you are just a crippled bitch who doesn’t deserve to be His Majesty’s wife!" Alice said proudly. However, that proud smile slowly disappeared when she realized what she had just said. "S-Saintess! I didn’t mean any of that! I didn’t know why I said that!"
"Y-yes! It was all my ideas. I was the one who told Lady Jade that we can poison Long Xiurong first, and then poison you. I was so happy when Lady Jade finally gave me the poison!"
