Vol 5: Chapter 1: The Disastrous Saint

The Holy Knight's Peaceful and Twisted Life

The Disastrous Saint

Currently, Chris and the others were at their usual inn in the royal capital.

After receiving a report from the magician that he had discovered the demonic castle, preparations for the final battle began.

Since this was the final battle to defeat the Demon King, the King finally got off his butt and arranged for Chris and her friends to have the Holy Knights and the Royal Knights, who were said to be the strongest in the royal capital, join their party... However, he also had a secret plan to not let the glory go to the hero of salvation alone.

The location of the Demon Castle is not far from the Royal Capital. However, since they don't know what awaits them, they can't leave right away. The departure is set to be a month later due to preparations by the Royal Knights and the Holy Knights.

Until then, Chris and the others would be staying at an inn in the royal capital.

Naturally, the king prepared a room for them in the royal castle and invited them to stay there, but Chris and the others politely declined.

There were various reasons, but the deciding factor was probably when Aria told Chris that being here reminds her of the time Lily died.

Thus, Chris and the others went to the inn and entered their rooms, and night fell on.

As Chris was about to go to sleep, someone knocked on her door. Chris went to the door and unlocked it, and there stood Aleph, her companion and ally, known as the hero of salvation.

"Aleph? It's unusual for you to come to my room at this time of night. Is there something wrong?"

Even though they had been to many different places and stayed overnight, Aleph had never visited Chris' room in the middle of the night. Chris was surprised when Aleph showed up, with a puzzled look on her face.

"I just wanted to talk to you. Can I come in?"

"Yes, that's fine. It's not really okay to come into a woman's room in the middle of the night, but I know it'll be okay with you, Aleph."

"...I see."

Chris smiled and let Aleph inside, trusting him, but when he heard that, Aleph's expression somehow became gloomy.

Once inside the room, Chris prepared a chair for Aleph, but he showed no signs of wanting to sit down.

"Um, why don't you sit down, Aleph? If we're going to talk, let's start slowly--"

"Chris, I'll get straight to the point. If I defeat the Demon King, will you marry me?"

"……eh?"

Chris was at a loss for words at the sudden remark, but Aleph remained calm as he calmly proposed marriage while still standing.

"A... Aleph? I have decided that once we have defeated the Demon King, I will dedicate my life to healing the people who have been tormented by the Demon King. That's why...."

"So what? That doesn't matter. I want you. I will defeat the Demon King and bring peace back to the world. Isn't that enough? After that, you should be able to live your life the way you want."

"No, I can't, Aleph. I'm a Saint, after all."

"Saint... Saint and Saint again. The curse of the dreaded "Saint" title has made you..."

"That's not true. I thank God that I am a saint. That's why I――hmpp?!"

Chris tried to gently deny what Aleph said, but she couldn't finish her sentence.

...Because Aleph suddenly captured Chris's lips. Her lips were suddenly stolen and she flailed about in shock, but her body remained completely motionless. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she was dealt a further blow when Aleph began to insert his tongue into Chris' mouth.

He entangles his tongue with Chris's, who is defenseless, and kisses her passionately. In the quiet room, the only sound that can be heard is the sound of their mouths devouring each other.

After several minutes had passed, Aleph finally released Chris' lips that he had been devouring. As if to prove that it had been a passionate kiss, when their mouths parted there was a string of saliva hanging between them.

"Phew! Ha ha ha... Wh, what? Why, Aleph? Wh, why?"

"I've always, always wanted to do this. That's all. I've been holding back up until now. If that's what you wanted, I thought I'd live solely to make your wishes come true. But, as I thought of you in the Demon City, I changed my mind. No, I realized... I want you."

Even though he had stolen her lips and even ravaged the inside of her mouth, Aleph's expression hadn't changed at all since he'd first entered the room. In other words, he didn't think that what he had just done was wrong.

"Hey, Chris. I'll ask you one more time. If I defeat the Demon King, will you marry me?"

"Ah, Aleph... so, ... I ... I am...."

"If you refuse, I will take away your proof of sainthood here."

"Wha-!! What are you saying? That's not allowed!"

"It doesn't matter if it's not allowed. If you refuse, I'll take away Chris' virginity here and erase your sainthood."

Chris's Saint skills only show their true value when she is pure. Of course, not all of her powers will disappear, but if she loses her purity, her powers will deteriorate to a level that cannot be compared to what she currently possesses. With the battle of the Demon King approaching, normally that would not be allowed.

But Aleph said he would do it. And judging from the look on his face, he was serious about it. If Chris refused to marry him, Aleph would seriously violate her, and scatter her Saintly skills along with her virginity.

"Please, Chris. I can't hold myself back any longer. So... please be mine."

"...I, I have never looked at Aleph in that way, you know."

"And I've never seen Chris any other way before."

"…………"

"If that doesn't work, I'll make you mine by force."

Saying that, Aleph took off all of his clothes. ...There was something erect. It was truly something worthy of a hero's rod.

"...Hii! What are you doing...P-put your clothes on."

"This is how serious I am. Chris, please. I absolutely will not give in on this."

"Well, anyway your clothes...."

"Once I defeat the Demon King, you will become my wife!"

Aleph ignores what Chris has to say and continues to press her for marriage.

Chris is left speechless by the incredible aura of Aleph as he approaches her completely naked.

For a moment, silence reigned.

Chris, who had her eyes closed and her head down, looked at Aleph with a serious expression.

And then she speaks the words of decision.

"I understand. Once we defeat the Demon King... I ...I will marry Aleph."

"Chris?! Is that okay?! Really, with me...?"

Aleph's delighted reaction after threatening her so much may have meant he's already gone mad. The man who had gone mad over Saint Chris was now feeling truly happy.

"....yes, I will be your wife..."

"Chris is going to be my wife? Ha, hahaha! Woooooah! Yesssss! Chris. All of you is now mine!?"

Since becoming a hero, Aleph had never been so happy, like a child. It was only natural, as this was the moment when his deepest desires, hopes, and ideal future had all come true.

"Thank you, Chris! I will definitely, definitely make you happy! I will definitely make you happy! I wonder how many children we should have... Ah, I need to quickly kill the Demon King and have the wedding quickly!"

"Aleph... First of all, let's just think about defeating the Demon King. He is not an opponent that can be defeated by letting your guard down."

"Yeah, I get it Chris! Let's do our best and defeat the Demon King! And then..."

There was clear lust in Aleph's eyes as he looked at Chris. What was thought to be completely out of his reach was finally within his grasp, and his desire was uncontrollable.

"Aleph. It's getting late today, so... shall we stop talking here?"

Unable to bear such eyes, Chris says goodbye to Aleph.

"Hmm, yeah... Come to think of it, it's already this late. I'm sure you were sleepy too, Chris, so I'm sorry. I'll be heading back to my room now. Good night, Chris."

"Yes, good night, Aleph."

Aleph quickly puts on his clothes, opens the door and leaves the room. Chris sees him off. Once outside the room, Aleph tells Chris, "I love you," and leaves.

Aleph leaves, and Chris is left alone in the room.

However, she was just holding her head in her hands.

The Demon King was used as a pretext for marriage.
