Kapitel 248: Chapter 248: A Deal From The Saintess

Saintess Lumenaria remained unfazed as she sat down gracefully.

"I can't speak for others, Young Emperor. But I follow the commands of the Goddess of Light, and I have never personally taken innocent lives," the saintess said naturally, ignoring Aengus's displeasure.

"By the way, why is the Young Emperor so concerned about harming innocents? That's not exactly a desirable trait for an emperor. Can the Young Emperor swear that you've never taken an innocent life to attain such power?

Surely, at least one innocent has fallen—be it a magical beast, a human, or some other species," she added with a sly, almost victorious smile.

Aengus replied calmly, "That's irrelevant, Saintess. My purpose is the betterment of the world, and I feel no guilt for actions taken toward that goal. I may have sinned unknowingly, but I don't toy with lives as the gods do."

"Hehehe..." The saintess giggled amusedly.
