Chapter 25: Intruder

Intruder

I had a nice, relaxing bath with Nay-sama.

It's progress that I was able to sexually harass her body under the pretense of blessing or something.

I thought if she refused, I might just get the facial treatment done.

She was also into it and accepted my sexual harassment.

I'll continue to take care of her beauty in the future.

Of course, I'll get paid for it.

To be honest, it's the best thing ever to be able to legally touch a beautiful woman's body!　

After parting ways with Nay-sama, who looked satisfied, I was shown to the guest room by a maid.

"Please come this way, Saintess. Please feel free to use anything provided. Also, this is some iced tea to drink before you go to bed...please feel free to drink some. If you need anything, please feel free to call upon me. Well then, excuse me..."

Oh, that's so thoughtful.

Iced tea is good for soothing a hot body after a bath.

After explaining a little, the maid left the room.　

Looking around the room, it was quite spacious, and the bed was very soft and comfortable when I sat down.

It is truly a royal palace guest room.

Room service is also provided, so you'll be spoilt for choice.

Yep, it's a suite room.　

But I don't have anything else to do today and I'm mentally exhausted so I'll go to bed.

The lust I felt when I sexually harassed the queen still lingers in my lower abdomen.

However, for now, I have no plans to generate my own pool of 'holy water' in royal bed.

I may have a beautiful body, but I have a gentleman's heart.

Right now, sleepiness is stronger than sexual desire.

I also had iced tea.

So, let's go to bed quickly.

Yeah, I'm suddenly feeling sleepy.　

That night I was killed.　

The saint was shown into the guest room and quickly fell asleep.

The long journey to the royal capital and the fatigue from interacting with the king and queen must have been compounded.

After drinking the iced tea, the saint was instantly sucked into bed.

While the saint was sleeping soundly in the guest room, the shadow of an intruder appeared.　

It was the maid in charge who guided her to the guest room.

The maid knocked lightly on the door and confirmed that there was no answer.

The woman quietly opens the door and sneaks into the room.

There, in the darkness, lay a saint sleeping, breathing quietly.　

The woman looked intently at the saint.

She thought it was very beautiful.

And she also felt sad about it.　

The woman holds a long-bladed knife in her hand.

The woman hesitated for a moment, still raising the knife.

However, the woman swung the knife down with all her might, aiming for the saint's heart.

While strangling the saint with one arm.　

She stabbed the saint in the chest with a knife multiple times.

Fresh blood danced in the darkness.

In an instant, the bed was stained with a liquid that smelled of iron.　

The saint died without a single cry or resistance.

The woman made sure that the saint had stopped moving.

Then she began to work on a plan to disguise the culprit.

That was when it happened.　

The saint, who was supposed to have died, suddenly grabbed the maid's arm.　

"I guess they think I'm a fool too..."　

The woman was astonished.　

(I gave her a sleeping pill. The drug worked. And I certainly killed her. I stabbed her multiple times, aiming for her heart. I strangled her while I did it. Why is this saint still alive!?)

If the other person were an ordinary human being, this would be a correct impression.

The woman's arm doesn't move at all.

It was as if she was being held by a muscular man.

Her arm was held with an incredible grip.

Still, the woman tried to resist, trying to shake her off.

"Woman, look at me."　

The Saint's eyes were tinged with a mysterious red light.

The light in her eyes is not something that humans of this world would normally emit.

This implies that the Saint is not human.

The woman reacted to the voice and looked into the Saint's eyes.

The evil light shining from the Saint's eyes took the woman away from her thoughts.

In an instant, the woman's mind was dominated by the saint.

The saint didn't call the guards, but instead deployed soundproofing magic.　

The intruder woman standing before her was powerless and dazed.

"Purification magic 'Clean'... Now, the bed is clean... What's your name?"

"It's Anna."　

"Who are you? You're not a maid, are you?"

"Yes, I make my living as a killer and spy."

"Who is the client?"　

"I was hired by a nobleman who supported the war."

"How much do you know about me?"

"Only the healing saint who accompanies the hero."

"Why did the anti-peace nobles target me? If they were going to kill someone, it should be an emissary of the demons, right?"

"The demon's emissary is a blood-stained Satya... She is no opponent that a human could ambush."

“I see… I guess I’ll go and clean up the nobles who are in the resistance faction later. It’s extremely troublesome, but if I don’t deal with them, it’s likely to cause trouble later on.”

The saint nodded in understanding, then pushed the woman down onto the bed.

The saint leaned over the woman and brought her face close to hers.　

"'Release control'... Hehe, how's that? How does it feel to be pinned down by your target?"

"...Huh?! Who are you?! Why aren't you dead?! Why do you have such physical strength even though you're a woman!"

"You tried to kill me without doing much research, I'll admit it was brave of yours. However, the fact that I was the one you wanted to kill was just your unlucky luck."　　

"Damn, I can't move! Wh-what are you planning to do?! Stop... Stop!"

"I won't stop ♡ Since earlier, the lust in my lower body has not subsided... so I'll let you relieve it ♡"

The saint destroyed the woman in front of her.

Many times.

When the woman broke, she used healing magic.

Many times.

The woman went back and forth between sanity and madness in the midst of pleasure.

Many times.

At dawn, the saint was sitting on her bed, elegantly sipping tea.

Next to her lies the woman who once tried to kill the saint, naked, gazing at her.

"Why don't you quit serving the nobility, Anna... and work for me?"

"Yes, I'd do anything for Tiana-sama, so please give your mercy on me."

There was something hot in the woman's eyes as she gazed upon the saint.

"Well, it can't be helped... it's already dawn, so this is the last one, right?"

The saint put the tea she was drinking on the table and lay on top of the woman again.

That day, a maid from the palace took leave.

No one in the palace knows where she is.
