Sebastian had been declared unworthy of the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, even that result felt almost absurdly convenient. Uriel himself had not expected the first prince to be foolish enough to openly entertain Crypian’s proposal about allowing TCL into the empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now another problem appeared. If Crypian regressed again, his first instinct would definitely be escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the timing of the regression remained uncertain. It could return him to the moment he first entered the palace... or perhaps even further back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That possibility was troublesome. Most of the evidence used against Sebastian had only existed because Ciel had remained beside Crypian and secretly recorded his voice beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Crypian had never actually spoken any blasphemous words at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriel had altered the recording completely through a small chip-like device developed by the Hayes Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant if Crypian regressed too far back, reproducing this exact situation again would become difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now Uriel found himself wondering once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he let him live? Or should he kill him here and end the cycle entirely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were clearly more benefits in keeping him alive for now and allowing this regression cycle to continue naturally. However if he....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, the Saint will decide your fate.\" Commander Cassian’s deep voice suddenly cut through his thoughts, pulling Uriel back toward reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian remained forced onto his knees by the paladins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clothes had already become disordered during the struggle, and for the first time since entering the chamber, genuine panic had begun appearing across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t do anything...\" Crypian spoke quickly. This time the guards did not silence him. \"At least give me the opportunity to explain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried visible desperation now. \"At least tell me what I did wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian looked toward Uriel almost pleadingly. In his understanding, none of this made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, he had proposed allowing TCL into the empire, but that alone was not a crime. It had merely been a diplomatic suggestion. They could have refused at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And TCL itself was not viewed publicly as some evil organization. To most nations, it was simply a powerful institution focused on trade and economic expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why had things suddenly escalated to this point? Why was he being restrained like a criminal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still the youngest scion of the Thorne family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please... at least tell me what....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You filth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Cassian’s voice exploded across the chamber before Crypian could finish speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander stepped forward furiously, his expression twisted with disgust as though merely hearing Crypian speak had already become unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However before he could continue....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Cassian.\" Uriel’s calm voice interrupted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander immediately stopped speaking and stepped back without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriel slowly walked forward instead. \"You wish to know what you did?\" he asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian immediately nodded. \"Y-Yes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled faintly now. According to everything he knew, he had never committed blasphemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He genuinely could not understand what was happening anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well then.\" Uriel raised the artifact in his hand before pressing lightly against its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grrrk... grrk...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A distorted sound echoed throughout the chamber like an old radio struggling to connect to a signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The static crackled for several moments before a voice slowly emerged from within the artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-the Chur-ch...?\" The voice sounded rough and broken from interference. However it was unmistakably Crypian’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber immediately became silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian himself froze slightly, his brows tightening as he listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the recording continued. \"Those fools...\" The static gradually faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Worshipping whatever that dogshit book says...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several nobles stiffened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh, come on man... who in the world actually fucking believes in gods this day and age?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps instantly spread throughout the chamber. Some nobles stared at Crypian in complete horror while others looked genuinely pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Sebastian’s face changed visibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Holy Empire, insulting the Goddess herself was no different from openly inviting death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet the recording had not ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You gotta be real dumb... to worship that fuck-ass woman as your god.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence, it was complete and absolute silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...?\" Crypian’s mouth slowly fell open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils shook violently as disbelief overtook his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear followed immediately after. \"N-No...I never said that...\" His voice came out weak and unsteady now, completely unlike before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taking everything into account...\" Uriel finally spoke once the recording ended. \"There is only one punishment suitable for such blasphemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian immediately shook his head violently. \"No, wait, I never....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could continue, the grip of the armored paladins on his shoulders suddenly tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure was so strong it almost felt like they were restraining themselves from tearing him apart on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, if the Saint had not been present inside the chamber, Crypian would have likely died long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anger radiating from the paladins had already reached its limit after hearing the recording.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Commander Cassian himself looked barely capable of controlling his fury anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriel noticed it immediately. Although blind, he could still feel the atmosphere pressing against his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The killing intent filling the chamber had become so heavy that even breathing felt slightly uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And strangely enough...Uriel suddenly felt his scalp go numb. After all, those words had not originally belonged to Crypian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was Crypian’s. But the sentences themselves were his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem...\" Uriel quietly cleared his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since entering the chamber, faint bitterness crept into his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed even saving Crypian now would become difficult. He truly had gone too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he never expected himself to even consider letting Crypian live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, he had altered the recording without restraint, making the insults as outrageous as possible in order to corner Sebastian completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now...the situation had escalated beyond what he expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Holiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Cassian suddenly stepped forward before lowering himself onto one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please grant me permission to kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled faintly with suppressed rage. The surrounding paladins lowered their heads as well, but their silence alone already made their agreement obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, none of them viewed Crypian as human anymore. However Uriel could not allow that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least not now, Crypian still had value alive. So Uriel immediately began searching for some excuse to calm the situation.....but before he could speak....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The artifact crackled once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...But one thing is certain...\" The sudden voice caused the entire chamber to freeze again. \"The Goddess looks great...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriel’s expression instantly stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then....\"If I could just fu....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyes widened violently. The atmosphere inside the hall exploded instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You FILTH!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commander Cassian roared. The sound echoed through the entire chamber like thunder as he finally lost all remaining restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword left its sheath almost instantly before he charged toward Crypian with terrifying speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noooo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the final sentence played, Uriel felt his entire body go cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scalp turned numb instantly. ’Shit. That line was never supposed to be there.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriel immediately lunged forward in panic, trying to stop Cassian before things completely spiraled out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However in his haste....He grabbed the wrong person, and in the very next moment....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a blade slicing cleanly through flesh echoed throughout the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Fuck my sense of direction!!’\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","0ab1c0e9344edd8d182e52a525616feb3122d1562553299e235c865d2b2076df","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-16","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-15",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
