Chapter 54: A Pathological Fiancée Will Be the Death of Him

Hall wondered why the College of Cardinals would send a letter at this time.

But he didn’t hesitate much and decided to open it.

It had been over ten days since he had submitted the report to clear his name.

No matter how inefficient the College of Cardinals was, they should have replied by now.

After opening the envelope, he glanced at the cover.

It was indeed from them.

“Young Master, is this the reply to your report from the Underground Street?”

“Yes.”

The black-haired young man nodded, not hiding it from Lov.

He opened it directly.

But what was written inside was completely different from what he had expected.

The letter’s content didn’t mention anything about whether he was a Xia Kingdom spy.

Instead, it first asked about Hall’s recent situation, and the opening looked like it was written by a kind old man to his distant nephew.

But Hall didn’t believe it.

In the game, the Cardinals were all highly skilled, either incredibly powerful or with very strange personalities.

Political ambitious, eccentrics, theological archaeology fanatics, magitech fanatics, war fanatics, and so on.

They were a bunch of lunatics. Among the thirteen Cardinals, including the seven Cardinal Archbishops and the six representatives of the local powerful families of the Papal State, there wasn’t a single normal person.

Leticia’s late father was actually a Cardinal. In the game, Leticia would sometimes attend the procedures of the College of Cardinals, but since she was under eighteen, she hadn’t inherited the title of Cardinal yet.

And by the time she turned eighteen, it was basically the late game, where she was either an enemy of the Church or traveling the world as a free person with her harem.

She basically never got to sit in the position of a Cardinal.

Of course, besides Leticia, there was another heroine who was a genuine Cardinal.

But that one was too abnormal, a mad scientist. After discovering that Hall could replenish mana, she studied his body every day. According to the text description, she often forced him to ejaculate several times a day to study the relationship between the amount of ejaculation and the female’s strength improvement.

But strictly speaking, she wasn’t a normal heroine. Like the Vampire Queen, one of the seven existing Demon Kings of the Demon Race, she was an easter egg type heroine with harsh unlocking conditions.

After unlocking her, she didn’t treat Hall as a person at all. Being drained dry was just his regular death.

If he was targeted by a orthodox heroine like Leticia or Christine, there was still a glimmer of hope. But if he was targeted by that one, there was no way to live except to be played with and drained to death in various perverted ways.

Could that bunch of lunatics write him such a kind letter?

He didn’t believe it.

Hall didn’t believe it.

Lov, on the other hand, was simpler and said, “Young Master Hall, it seems the great figures of the College of Cardinals all like you very much.”

“Perhaps.”

Hall continued to read.

The second page of the letter still didn’t mention him being a Xia Kingdom spy.

It wrote about his parents, and some things about him and Himan when they were young.

Until the third to last line, it suddenly revealed its true purpose.

It was written in black and white.

—Hall Faxtius, what are your thoughts on your fiancée?

“Young Master, do you have a fiancée?”

“I don’t know.”

Hall was also stunned. How did the College of Cardinals know he had a fiancée before he did?

What did that mean?

And he searched his memory, but never found the keyword “fiancée.”

Then, he continued to read.

Finally, there was a clue.

“No way, no way, no way?”

Hall thought this was too outrageous.

He had been telling Ye Wangxue to run away from her marriage just over ten days ago, but it turned out his fiancée was her?

This game was really going to be the death of him.

No wonder in the Xia Kingdom princess’s route, once Ye Wangxue replenished mana with him, Hall, she would gradually start to become deranged and pathological, especially when he replenished mana with the other heroines in the team. He would be stabbed in a few days.

In the game, that was the storyline after the engagement had been broken off. It would be abnormal if he wasn’t stabbed.

He was truly numb.

“Ah, Young Master, the master found an eastern princess to be your fiancée?”

Lov’s sense of crisis was instantly maxed out.

She had been thinking these past few days that once Hall was cleared of suspicion, she could go on a honeymoon with Hall to a second-tier city in the Papal State and live a life of just the two of them.

Then, when they did shameful things, no one would find out. As long as she night-raided Hall, the young master was a man.

He probably wouldn’t refuse, right?

But now…

Hall suddenly had an eastern princess as his fiancée.

Although the young ladies of Saint Louis didn’t think highly of easterners, Lov had seen the late Mrs. Faxtius’s portrait. Mrs. Faxtius had one-half eastern blood, and her hair was pure black like Hall’s.

She was a very beautiful woman. It was said that at any banquet she attended during her lifetime, the other ladies could only be second best.

An eastern princess couldn’t be ugly, right?

What if the other party liked Hall very much, and then compared to Himan, who was always doubting Hall.

What if the young master also liked the other party…

Lov panicked.

If the Faxtius family had a new mistress, she wouldn’t even dare to wear revealing clothes in front of Hall.

She might even be kicked out by Mrs. Faxtius, or transferred to another place to work.

Lov thought about it and felt that the future was bleak. The other party was a princess.

She couldn’t expect that eastern princess to be a silly, sweet girl like Leticia. This was, after all, a political marriage.

Hall’s fiancée…

Sigh…

The more Lov thought about it, the more tired she became, and she felt extremely worried.

Her future with the young master…

“What’s wrong, Lov?”

Hall saw the little maid’s expression growing more and more dejected.

He was a little confused.

“Ah, Young Master… Lov was just thinking, what if the future mistress of the Faxtius family doesn’t like Lov, sniff… then, Lov… will have nowhere to go.”

As Lov spoke, she had already pressed herself against Hall. She really wanted to cry now, and it wasn’t entirely an act. She looked pitiful.

Plus, she was wearing a special maid’s uniform that showed the side of her breasts.

With such a collision, even though the balls were relatively small, it was impossible for Hall not to feel anything.

“The Faxtius family won’t have a mistress for the time being, you can rest assured.”

Hall was definitely going to break off the engagement.

If he married Ye Wangxue, then he really wouldn’t be able to escape his fate in the heroine’s route.

This kind of strong relationship binding, marriage, was equivalent to an early death sentence for his life.

“But Young Master, you will have a wife in the future, and Lov has not yet dedicated everything to… ah…”

The little maid felt that today was a rare opportunity, and she took the opportunity to get closer to Hall and rubbed against him slightly. Instead, she felt a little something.

She was very sensitive…

She suddenly wanted to press her chest against Hall again.

But Lov quickly sensed a cold gaze coming from behind her.

“What’s wrong, brother? Was the swordsmanship exchange competition today successful?”

Lorraine was still at home.

She hadn’t started school yet, and she wasn’t in a hurry.

She had maxed out her theology credits, and she wanted to stay at home for a month.

After seeing Lov’s intention to have an affair with her brother, she felt even more that she should stay.

When Hall was asked this, he remembered that his sister was a yandere and didn’t dare to speak.

He didn’t know how Lorraine would react after learning that he had a fiancée.

But Lov felt that this was a rare opportunity.

She had to make Lorraine confront that eastern princess as well.

So she said.

“Young Miss, a letter came from the College of Cardinals, saying that the young master has a fiancée, an eastern princess.”

At that moment, Hall only felt a bone-chilling cold emanating from his sister.
