Chapter 141: Applying for a Duel
Through the vast sea of people, Thorne shouted Lilith’s name and sprinted all the way to the hillside. He swept Lilith into his arms and held his whole world tightly.
How he wished time could freeze at that moment. There would be no Hero, no daughter of a Knight Commander, only two ordinary lovers spending a simple, happy life together.
Lilith, in his arms, had tears in her eyes. She wiped the blood from his face with her sleeve, cupped Thorne’s face, and kissed him again and again.
“Thorne, we have a child. We have a child!” Lilith’s face was flushed, and she panted heavily as she spoke in excitement. “I want so badly to go with you to a place where no one knows us and spend the rest of our lives there.”

“So do I, Lilith. So do I.” Thorne responded excitedly, greedily breathing in the fragrance at her neck. For a moment, he even forgot the situation they were in.
“Let’s leave together. I’ll take you away right now, all right?”

“No.”
Standing behind them, Janice wore a smile without the slightest warmth. She lowered her head slightly and raised her eyes, meeting the nervous looks they cast at her with a warning gaze.
After Oswald and the army left, Lilith did find the person before her somewhat familiar, but with her pride, she would never tolerate provocation from some nameless nobody.
“Do you want the honor of defeating the incarnation of the curse?” Lilith sneered, pointing at Janice’s nose as she snapped, “Do not underestimate us, you arrogant fool who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth!”

The instant Janice heard that, her aura erupted at full force. Vast Mana poured out, frightening Lilith into immediately withdrawing her hand.
That familiar feeling…
“It seems you have already forgotten me.”
Janice’s expression was indifferent, and the holy light in her hand suddenly burst into a dazzling radiance.

“How sad. Last time, when you controlled the metal puppet and infiltrated the Northern Territory, we clearly had such a pleasant conversation, did we not?”

Janice pushed open the door to the city lord’s estate office and immediately saw Duke Oswald seated in the office chair, as well as Eileen lying in Oswald’s arms with her legs raised, keeping the Duke company as he worked while smiling and playing with the bouquet in her hands.
Enough. This was truly enough.
It took only one glance for Janice to sense the warmth that had grown between them. From the bottom of her heart, Janice was happy for them, but that happiness was mixed with a trace of sadness and irritation.
She could not remain this woman’s best friend for even one more day.
Janice dragged the bruised and swollen Thorne into the office with a rope of light. Lilith, who had clearly become much more obedient, followed inside as well. She lowered her head and silently stood in the corner, not daring to speak.
The newly appointed Saintess truly had terrifying combat power.

After Lilith, whose new identity was now “pregnant woman,” had made her arrogant declaration, Hero Thorne had naturally received a vicious beating. More importantly, after Thorne was beaten, what awaited Lilith was Janice’s careful examination, as well as healing magic to stabilize her body…
With her pain eased, Lilith had nothing to say. How should she put it… the other party was unexpectedly a good person.
Eileen set down the bouquet and blankly looked over the Hero and the others. She did not understand this silent atmosphere, but she understood the irritation at the corners of Janice’s eyes.
In the end, things had still reached this point.
Under Eileen’s strict vigilance and Oswald’s strange way of thinking, no brutal love-triangle battlefield had erupted among the three of them.
Objectively speaking, Eileen had never given Janice a chance to enter the arena at all, and Janice’s consideration had only resulted in Eileen’s triumphant advance.

That was also the reason Janice was so furious.
Because… she had not even made the Duke notice her feelings yet, damn it! Even now, when His Grace looked at her, his gaze was still ten out of ten parts innocent!

Janice clenched her fists. Eileen, that woman with her unbearably heavy love, had clutched the Duke’s heart firmly, and His Grace had actually fallen for it.
Past events surged into her mind. Perhaps when Eileen privately said that extremely possessive little equation, “There are no women by the Duke’s side, and I have become the only woman by his side, so I am the Duke’s woman,” Janice should have understood that certain people’s possessiveness was anything but ordinary.
And she very much wanted to tell a certain someone: did you really have no idea why there were no women by the Duke’s side?
Eileen was hardly the only person in the Ducal Estate drawing double wages. She had bought off most of them!

What Janice found most unacceptable was that, as both their good friend and good comrade-in-arms, and also as the Church Saintess, she was very likely to be dragged in by the two of them as the witness to their marriage.
Enough. This was truly enough.
Janice stepped forward, stared fixedly at Eileen, who was still blinking at her, and gritted her teeth. “Your Grace, I request a one-on-one duel with Eileen.”
Also sensing the strange atmosphere among them, Oswald tactically leaned back and slowly set down the pen in his hand.

He did not understand girls’ friendships very well, but in his previous life, the two of them had indeed often fought, then continued being good friends after the fight was over…
Did girls also use their fists to communicate their feelings?
Én̄ù m̄а ._і̆d̂
Unable to figure out such complicated questions, Oswald pondered for several seconds, then nodded.
“Remember to come back for dinner.”
“Yes, Your Grace.” The two of them revealed sweet smiles and answered in unison, but the instant they walked out of the room and closed the door, a thunderous BOOM erupted.
The entire city lord’s estate shook violently. Oswald, who was long accustomed to this, tidied up the fallen documents, propped his chin on both hands, and calmly asked the Hero and Lilith,
“You have two choices. One, the three of you die now in the Northern Territory. The other, for as long as you live, you accept all my orders unconditionally.”
“Any objections?”

The aftershocks of the battle made cracks spread wildly across the walls. Thorne, who had broken free from the rope of light and regained his ability to move, looked tense and quickly swallowed.
Compared with these minor issues, should the Duke not be more worried about whether those two will demolish the city lord’s estate? My wife and child are still here!
“Thorne, there is a secret hidden within you.” Seeing Thorne and Lilith remain silent, Oswald let out a heavy sigh.
Strictly speaking, the only object of his suspicion was the Hero’s Holy Spear.
What was it that had caused the lunatic Princess Diana to sink this far? What was it that had turned the hot-tempered Lilith into a good wife and loving mother? What was it that made everyone share an unspoken understanding, believing without any evidence whatsoever that that old rod could work miracles?
The Hero? Hah. He was merely the vessel for the Holy Spear.
W е́ b̌nо v̈е̌ l Èṅ uṁ.а
The Holy Spear had easily dealt with the incarnation of the curse, and Oswald was equally concerned about the Holy Spear’s offspring.
It was already the third life, and this stallion of a Hero finally had a child, under such complicated circumstances no less.

Would the Holy Spear’s child possess some marvelous ability?
Under Oswald’s waiting gaze, Thorne had no room to choose. He immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully, “Your Grace, I am willing to serve you. It is just that my wife and child…”
“You can rest assured on that point.” Oswald waved a hand and cut him off, then said in a low voice, “Pregnant women and children can simply stay in the Northern Territory in peace. I will not make things difficult for them because of past hatred.”
“And as you can see.” Oswald spread his pitch-black hand and laughed coldly. “The ones truly blocking my path forward are not manipulated pawns like you.”

“Of course, I also will not ignore the fact that most of you are scum. Do not think about delaying the arrival of Judgment Day. I will not tolerate a single transgression from you.”
“Thorne, you do not want your child to become the only slave in the Northern Territory, do you?”
