I've Already Become a Demon God, Yet You Want Me to Be a Villain — Part 48

Even Su Mo had not expected her action.

Meeting the clear gaze of the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom.

Seeing the restrained affection in her eyes.

After pausing for two seconds, Su Mo finally reached out, took the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's hand, and then—

He stepped onto the carriage!

An incomparably radiant smile immediately bloomed across the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's face!

So what if Su Mo became the Saint Son in the future?

As long as today, Su Mo stood beside her and shared this moment of universal attention before the eyes of over a million people.

That was already enough!

Even if the Goddess blamed her... she would accept it!

The Unicorns pulled the magnificent carriage slowly toward the Grand Cathedral.

"Whoa!"

The moment Su Mo appeared beside the queen.

An uproar instantly erupted across the square!

PS: A word about updates: there are currently six chapters a day, and each chapter is a bit longer than other people's. There'll be even more updates once it goes premium, which should happen in the next couple of days.

Panicked! Terrifying Reputation! The Ultimate Boss!

"He actually got on!"

Behind them, Li Fei's eyes widened the moment he saw Su Mo board the carriage that symbolized the king's authority.

Su Mo had really gotten on.

One dared to invite him.

The other dared to accept.

Beside him, Han Yu's eyes were equally wide.

His mood had already sunk to rock bottom.

"Li Fei, I've decided. Once today is over, I'll leave the Royal Capital while it descends into chaos!"

Han Yu said to Li Fei through the Protagonist Panel.

Leaving the Royal Capital was itself a risky matter.

Now that they were being watched by the Villains' spies, the moment they left, the Villains would find an opportunity to act.

Their Golden Fingers gave them far greater returns in the Royal Capital than outside it.

Clocking in for work with the Royal Palace Guard naturally earned different rewards than clocking in at some small place outside.

The more prestigious the place, the more rewards they received.

But seeing that the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom had actually invited Su Mo aboard.

And that Su Mo had truly dared to get on.

To Han Yu, what that meant could not have been clearer.

During their days in the Royal Palace Guard, the two of them had gained a deeper understanding of royal authority than other protagonists.

In a situation like this, an ordinary male king would bring along his queen.

If it were a queen, she would bring along her husband.

There were occasional exceptions, namely when the king brought his Heir to the Throne.

There would be no other circumstances.

Today, another exception had appeared.

Su Mo stood up there together with the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom.

One had to know that there were several million people here.

Half the Royal Capital had come.

And these were no ordinary people. There were vast numbers of nobles, officials of every rank, as well as many famous figures and wealthy merchants.

It could be said that the distinguished and powerful were gathered in abundance.

In the Crescent Kingdom, nearly everyone from the upper levels of the Pyramid was here.

Not only that, this was also the headquarters of the Holy See.

Even the Temple in the sky had already lit up. The Goddess might cast her gaze down from time to time.

For the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom to invite Su Mo to stand beside her on an occasion like this, her attitude could not have been more obvious.

She was treating Su Mo as her husband!

With so many people witnessing it, this was no joking matter.

If Queen of the Crescent Kingdom chose another man in the future, her prestige in the eyes of the people would probably drop by more than half!

It was precisely because he realized this that Han Yu made this decision.

He had already panicked!

No matter what, he had to escape the Royal Capital today.

Su Mo and Queen of the Crescent Kingdom had reached this point in their relationship. If he stayed in the royal palace any longer, he would only be seeking his own death!

Leaving the Royal Capital was dangerous in itself, but once the prophesied chaos began, they would have an opportunity.

At the same time, he felt somewhat fortunate that Su Mo had not made a move a few days ago.

"He didn't act a few days ago because he was probably worried about affecting how Queen of the Crescent Kingdom viewed him."

Han Yu quickly came up with what he considered a very reasonable explanation.

"Count of Inkstone Territory..."

Elsewhere, several Duke-level villains saw them from afar as well.

Their positions were quite close.

The heirs of several Duke-level villains exchanged glances and began chatting through the Villain Panel.

"Looks like once the Queen stops being the Saintess, she'll most likely want to marry the Count of Inkstone Territory."

"That should be it. This probably won't have much effect on our plan!"

"Mm. Still, the Count of Inkstone Territory is quite capable. He actually won Queen of the Crescent Kingdom over without anyone noticing."

"Tsk, tsk. Queen of the Crescent Kingdom has always been the Saintess and has never been touched by a man. A woman of such quality... what a waste to give her to him!"

The villains remained quite calm.

Their minds were still focused on their plan.

Compared with their plan, this matter was not such a big deal to them.

As long as their plan succeeded, their gains would be enormous.

Given time, once they grew strong enough, perhaps they could even join forces and confront the Queen head-on!

Naturally, they were not too worried.

"Mountains can collapse, trees can sway, and people can run away. Doesn't he understand that as a Transmigrator?"

"His starting point was too low, so this is all he can do."

"It's a skill to be able to win over the Queen, but he'd better not stand in our way..."

"..."

The Duke-level villains continued chatting.

While these villains chatted, the Protagonist Group had already become lively as well.

"Why is the Count of Inkstone Territory standing with Queen of the Crescent Kingdom?"

"Their relationship doesn't seem ordinary."

"Fuck, he's holding the Queen's hand!"

"That's the Count of Inkstone Territory you were talking about earlier?"

"..."

Many protagonists had yet to realize the severity of the situation.
