“Damn… That stubborn fool…” Vertus gritted his teeth upon hearing about Olivia Lanche. 0

The fact that Reinhart was the Demon King had not been disclosed to the public because of fears it could escalate into a religious issue. 0

Leaving Olivia Lanche unchecked posed too great a risk, since they did not know whether she was one of the Demon King’s accomplices. 0

Therefore, keeping Olivia under surveillance had been deemed the best course of action. However, now that Olivia Lanche knew the truth, she had begun to act recklessly.0

“She’s not even trying to hide her intention to side with the Demon King.” 0

More than anything, Olivia’s talk of religious trials and doctrinal discussions clearly demonstrated her intent to buy time. It was evident that she had decided not to stay neutral, but to protect the Demon King. 0

If Olivia Lanche was not an enemy of humanity, she had at least chosen to become an enemy of the empire.0

“Should we kill her?” Scotla Kelton asked.0

Vertus gritted his teeth as he considered Scotla Kelton’s report and replied, “Even if we could kill her, it would be in the middle of the Temple. Her skills are formidable, so killing her without causing a commotion is impossible. There would be chaos.” 0

The main building was one of the central locations within the Temple. If a fight broke out between Olivia Lanche and the Shanapell knights when they tried to kill her, the commotion would surely draw many eyes.0

At this point, Olivia Lanche was even more difficult to kill than the Demon King.0

The Order of the Holy Knights and the Church of the Five Great Gods would surely hold the empire accountable for killing Ouen’s Champion, and such an incident...0
