I've Become a Demon God, and You Want Me to Be the Villain — Part 31

The provocation was real.

When the time came, he could simply make up an excuse—say that he had a past grudge against Su Mo, so he had made a few provocative expressions.

It wasn't that big a deal.

What could they possibly do to him?

After thinking it through carefully, the Protagonist put his worries aside.

"Hmph, making a mountain out of a molehill. Once I grow stronger, killing you will be as easy as slaughtering a dog!"

The Protagonist snorted.

It wasn't as though he had never provoked other Villains before. In his view, even if he did not provoke them, the Villains would not let him off anyway.

Besides, he loved seeing Villains get so furious they were beside themselves, yet still unable to kill him.

With that thought, he looked at the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom again.

"Sooner or later, I'll make you mine!"

The Protagonist had no shortage of thoughts about the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom.

After all, she was far too beautiful. Before he had transmigrated, not even those internet celebrities and stars using level-ten, or even level-one-hundred beauty filters could compare to half of her beauty!

Not to mention the added appeal of her identity and status.

Her status as a queen had multiplied the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's charm and allure several times over!

"Saintess, the Temple Knight Third Reserve Regiment, Eighth Squad reports to you."

The captain of this squad of Temple Knights reported loudly to the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom.

This captain still did not know what was going on.

To them, the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's identity as the Saintess was far more important than her identity as queen.

So when they saw her, they only addressed her as Saintess, never as Queen.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's gaze swept over the Protagonist, but she said nothing.

Seeing that the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom remained silent and that her expression was somewhat cold, the captain of the Temple Knights was utterly baffled.

He had no idea what was happening.

Since the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom had not spoken, he did not dare leave. He could only stand upright and wait for her instructions.

It did not take long.

In the distance, a carriage came speeding over.

When the Protagonist saw the flag on the carriage, his expression changed again.

"They even called the Inquisition?"

The Protagonist was no longer quite so optimistic.

The Inquisition... that was, the Religious Inquisition, an enforcement agency within the Holy See.

However, they did not judge ordinary people.

They did not even concern themselves with many criminals.

Those they judged were heretics within the Crescent Kingdom, and they also kept watch over everyone in the Holy See.

In addition, preventing Demons from beguiling people's hearts was also one of their major duties.

In truth, heretics were rare nowadays.

There was more than one god.

If someone believed in another god, they would often secretly flee to that god's kingdom. The Inquisition could not judge matters in other kingdoms.

Everyone in the Holy See feared the Inquisition.

"So what if the Inquisition is here? I refuse to believe a few expressions and looks can get me killed. Hmph, I'm a Protagonist with luck exceeding one hundred!"

The Protagonist comforted himself like this.

Very soon, the people from the Inquisition arrived.

There were two of them.

The two wore somber black robes, and the embroidered insignia on their collars was enough to make anyone who saw it feel uneasy.

"The Chief Judge..."

The Protagonist recognized one of them. Although he was certain that nothing would happen to him, his heart could not help but sink.

Even someone of the Chief Judge's rank had been dispatched.

He really hadn't thought this through... This was the Saintess's order. The people dispatched couldn't possibly be of low rank.

"Saintess, what are your orders?"

The chief judge did not waste words and went straight to the point.

Queen of the Crescent Kingdom did not look at Su Mo.

Her gaze swept across the Temple Knight Order.

The Reserve Knights caught in her gaze all felt their hearts tighten.

Though they were completely baffled and had no idea what had happened.

The commotion was so great now that even the Inquisition had been dispatched.

Something had clearly happened that they did not know about.

Soon, Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's gaze settled on the Protagonist.

After lingering for a second, Queen of the Crescent Kingdom looked at the chief judge.

"Chief Judge Chris, may I ask—just because I am about to step down as Saintess, can even Reserve Knights of the Holy See now disrespect me, even using disgusting looks to profane me?"

Queen of the Crescent Kingdom said coldly.

Her words instantly made the Protagonist turn pale with shock!

This was bad!

The Protagonist's expression changed drastically.

He had never imagined that Queen of the Crescent Kingdom would frame his provocation toward Su Mo... as an offense against herself!

That move was far too vicious!

After all, if it had been provocation toward Su Mo, at most he would be scolded a few times. He was only a Count.

That was nothing in the Holy See.

But now, Queen of the Crescent Kingdom had taken the matter upon herself...

The nature of it was completely different.

Chief Judge Chris of the Inquisition was equally shocked.

Because Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's words were far too severe.

Queen of the Crescent Kingdom had never spoken such harsh words before!

Chief Judge Chris's expression also changed drastically.

"Please calm your anger, Saintess. I will certainly give you an explanation."

Chief Judge Chris did not make excuses. After assuring Queen of the Crescent Kingdom, he turned around.

"Who was it?"

he snarled.

"My lord, I've been wronged. I never did anything to the Saintess—"

The Protagonist could no longer hold himself together. He knew perfectly well that he could not hide.

So he hurried out, intending to clear himself.

But he had never expected that before he could finish speaking, Chief Judge Chris moved both hands.

The next second, the Protagonist seemed to suffer a heavy blow. His vision went black, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterward, a rope suddenly appeared around him, binding him in an instant.

"Saintess, I have apprehended this man. Please decide his punishment."

After dealing with the Protagonist, Chief Judge Chris said to Queen of the Crescent Kingdom.

Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's gaze swept over the Protagonist, then naturally passed over Su Mo.

Su Mo's finger discreetly pointed at himself.
