This Holy Knight is So Despicable!-Chapter 613 - 532: The Terrifying Cinderella
The Liar Demon was quite astonished by this statement.
Back when the two sides were still standing against each other, the Liar Demon had gone to great lengths to investigate Lette's past deeds.
About Lette's experiences in those two years in the Holy City, he was quite clear.
After all, it was no secret.
Especially after the Blood colored Holy Presence Day, the name Holy Sin Wright became well-known within the Church Court, making it too easy to inquire about his past.
As for the gossip about his relationship with the Holy Joanna, it was rich enough to fill a book.
So when Lette mentioned the conditions for Cinderella's feast, the Liar Demon instinctively felt something was off.
"A grand ball can be understood, after all, for high-ranking people like you in the Holy Light Church, a ball is just a normal social event.
The Prince can also be understood.
If the Pope is considered the King of the Holy Light Country, then the Saint Heir, as the future successor to the Pope, is also considered a Prince.
But a love that ends without a result, does that really suit you?"
Lette spread his hands: "At the time, I felt Joanna's feelings for me were a self-righteous redemption, a self-imposed charity.
So in anger, I didn't establish a further relationship with her.
You know what happened later. After the Blood colored Holy Presence Day incident, to prevent ill-intentioned people from taking the opportunity to slander the Church Court and cause trouble, and also for the sake of the Holy Light's reputation.
I, exiled myself.
Not seeing each other for three years made our relationship quite delicate.
So, if you must say it ended without a result..."
Lette suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh! I understand now!"
The Liar Demon was startled: "You you you, understand what?"
"I understand why after that banquet, Joanna suddenly ran to find me in the Black Iron Prison, insisting on establishing a romantic relationship with me, and saying she wanted to rescue me.
She might have realized something at that time, felt the Witch Power within her awakening, and the terms for the feast were about to be fulfilled.
If I had agreed to her request then, forming a romantic relationship with her, the feast would have failed!"
Lette grabbed his hair: "Oh dear, I miscalculated!"
Pinocchio patted Lette's shoulder: "Alright, alright, the end result is good, don't dwell on it...
No, still not right!
According to the development of the "Cinderella" fairy tale, the Prince and Cinderella should have walked into the hall of marriage, becoming a pair envied by everyone.
So why, for the feast's fulfillment condition, is it that Cinderella and the Prince's love ends without a result?"
Lette spread his hands: "At times like this, you can't help but marvel at the Wise Sage's reasoning when designing the Light Witch as a humanoid countermeasure weapon.
The Light Witch's mission is to destroy the Holy Light Divine Court. And her special ability is to nullify the Light Power.
Didn't you notice that in Cinderella's story, there aren't any elements related to the Holy Light?"
Pinocchio pondered for a moment: "Indeed, it's even hard for me to associate Cinderella with the Light Witch.
So, what's the principle here?"
Lette suddenly grinned: "Because, the story of 'Cinderella' has a hidden element, that's the Light of Hope.
Poor Cinderella lived a life of oppression and bullying by her stepmother and stepsisters, a life full of suffering.
The Prince's ball was her only hope.
In the story, with the help of the Fairy Godmother, she seized this opportunity and ultimately reached the peak of her life.
Cinderella's story is a story of hope.
This story, along with Cinderella's image and her final happy ending, is the light in the hearts of many poor people.
It represents the pursuit and yearning for beauty, which is actually the same as their expectations of the Holy Light."
At this point, the Liar Demon had already figured out the crux of it.
"I see, so the love that ends without a result actually rewrote Cinderella's ending.
This was originally a bright fairy tale, just like Joanna was at the beginning, a Holy Daughter of the Holy Light Church, a symbol of light.
And then because of a love that ended without a result, Cinderella didn't become the Prince's wife.
She would then return to a life of darkness, even more tragic than before.
Thus, the Light of Hope was extinguished, and the original Light Witch, after the feast, transformed into the Destruction Light Witch."
The Liar Demon couldn't help but clap: "Although it's a maverick organization not acknowledged by the Gate of Truth, but to be fair, the madmen of the Tower of Truth really have some tricks.
They not only could utilize the power of fairy tales, but they also thought of using the power generated by destroying fairy tales.
Indeed, quite interesting."
Lette rubbed his chin: "Don't underestimate the Tower of Truth, even though they couldn't establish a connection with the Gate of Truth.
Their research and zeal for the truth is no less fervent than the legitimate ones.
Come to think of it, the Gate of Truth probably started as an organization similar to the Tower of Truth, developing step by step."
The Liar Demon Pinocchio looked at Lette with a teasing face: "So, are you going to this world to find this new Light Saintess possessed by Witch Power?
At that time, will you still want to have a love that ends without a result with her?
Finding someone may not be difficult, but achieving the feast isn't easy.
After all, love is the most elusive thing.
If it works, anything works!
If it doesn't, nothing you do will work."
Lette raised an eyebrow: "You, understand quite well?"
"Hahaha, of course, I do, I am the Liar Demon after all."
Pinocchio flicked his nose: "Both lies and demons are closely related to love, aren't they?"
Lette helplessly spread his hands: "Although I don't want to admit it, you're right.
But no matter how hard it is, I have to find this girl first.
Whether the feast can be initiated, we'll see.
The most important thing is to prevent her from deviating from 'Cinderella' to become 'Sleeping Beauty.'
Or... other more troublesome Fairy Tale Witches."
Pinocchio widened his eyes: "Can she become other witches too?"
"Of course, Cinderella has the potential to become other witches, even ones we don't know about.
Just like the Primordial Demon in the Demon Realm, which can evolve into any other type of demon.
This is the most troubling issue."
At this point, Lette waved his hand: "Alright, enough chatting with you.
Since the target world is locked, I'll head over directly."
The Liar Demon was stunned: "You're not waiting for the Witch Slayer?"
"No, she needs to rely on me to plant an anchor point in the target world first for cross-world teleportation, and needs Alice to use Utopia to send her.
But Utopia just transported someone to Lilith and needs to cooldown for a short period.
I can't wait any longer; I'll go ahead and scout."
