Chapter 362: Am I the Lady of Light? How Did I Not Know This!
Facing Lolth’s question, the Lady of Light was slightly taken aback.
She was a bit confused about why Lolth asked that question.
But the Lady of Light didn’t think too much about it; after a brief silence, she responded to Lolth in a normal way.
"Well… I didn’t know what to call you either… Although you are now an Abyssal Succubus and work for the demon race, you used to be the Lady of Light, so it’s fine to call you ‘senior.’"
Lolth listened to the Lady of Light and nodded slightly before continuing to walk outside.
"Oh—because I used to be the Lady of Light… Wait, what?"
Lolth was stunned.
Then, she stopped in her tracks and quickly turned around to walk back to the bedside, showing an expression of surprise mixed with fear.
I used to be the Lady of Light?
How did I not know this myself!
Soon, Lolth realized something…
This is mostly a misunderstanding on Her Holiness’s part… and it’s a big misunderstanding!
How could I, a perfectly good Abyssal Succubus, a true being, have become the Lady of Light?
Since I was reborn in this world, the only job I have done is the Chief Interrogator of the Demon Army. My work history is very clear, and there is nothing in my resume that relates to the Church of Light.
I am really glad I did not let this woman go; otherwise, if she starts talking nonsense outside, Lolth would not be able to handle the consequences!
This misunderstanding must be corrected.
"Ahem, well…"
Lolth just cleared her throat a couple of times, and to her surprise, the Lady of Light spoke first.
"Senior, are you unwilling to admit your identity because… of guilt?"
Clearly, Lolth’s change in expression earlier made the Lady of Light think the wrong way.
She believed that after she mentioned the identity of the Lady of Light, Lolth’s change in expression and silence were due to being "touched on a sore spot."
It makes sense; if I had truly fallen, then the identity of the Lady of Light must have been something I could not mention back then.
But then again, why do I always think about my downfall?
I definitely will not… fall.
Lady of Light shook her head, pushing those thoughts out of her mind.
When Lolth heard Lady of Light’s question, her expression became even more interesting.
Guilt, my foot!
What do I have to feel guilty about towards The Church of Light… I have nothing to do with those fanatics, okay?
Oh no, wait, there is a part I feel guilty about.
That is for accidentally holding back that foolish Holy Maiden and Rod of Eden, I am truly sorry!
Lolth looked at the Lady of Light, who seemed lost in thought, gazing at her pure, chaste, perfect face, her skin so white it looked unreal and her light golden eyes, and sighed.
"You misunderstood, I have nothing to feel guilty about."
"It’s just that… I really am not the Lady of Light."
"From the very beginning, I was an Abyssal Succubus… um, the reason you misunderstood is probably because I can use the Supreme Divine Spell, right?"
"I can only tell you… the limits of the divine spell are not as strict as you think."
After Lolth finished explaining, she looked at the Lady of Light, who was once again in shock, and decided to give her some time to process it.
"Anyway… that’s all I wanted to say, and I’ve already told you the important things about living in Hillenbrand Town."
"I have other things to do, so you can… feel free to move around."
"Explore this little town and wait for rescue."
With that, Lolth stood up and left the room.
The Lady of Light is not the only one who needs time to digest this; Lolth also needs to take it slow…
I originally planned that there would be no misunderstandings this time, but unexpectedly, the seeds of misunderstanding were already planted!
And this misunderstanding is much more serious than that of Isabella and Tina!
At least those two girls based their doubts and distrust on the fact that they are indeed succubus.
When it comes to the Lady of Light… well…
I have already become the fallen former Lady of Light!
What is she thinking?
Is this person really the Lady of Light?
This level of skill is rather sad…
There are almost no similarities between me and the other Ladies of Light—except for using the power of Holy Light, casting the Supreme Divine Spell, wearing high-quality robes, and being recognized by the Rod of Eden…
No matter how I look at it, I am a proper Abyssal Succubus!
Lolth sighed and walked toward the kitchen.
Anyway… she decided to make herself something to eat.
In the interrogation room of The Church of Light, the Lady of Light sat on the bed, pondering Lolth’s words, lost in thought.
"What did this senior mean with her last words…?"
"Why did she say she ‘feels no guilt’… is it because she has a clear conscience?"
"When she said she is an Abyssal Succubus… what does that mean? Is it because of her ‘nature’… or is it the literal meaning?"
"What does it mean that ‘the limits of divine spells are not so strict’… does that mean people with impure hearts and weak faith can also use the Supreme Divine Spell and the power of Holy Light?"
"Or should I say… that even a being from the abyss can use it?"
"And why does she emphasize the ‘rescue’ again… Does she really hope for me to be saved…? No, that can’t be…"
The Lady of Light’s mind was in chaos; since becoming the Holy Maiden, she had never felt such confusion.
It all seemed to hint at something; the scattered clues and words pointed to a "truth," but that blurry truth, which seemed so close, she just couldn’t grasp.
The only thing she could be sure of was… that this senior was not only powerful but also very mysterious.
Her "fall" back then was definitely not that simple.
The Lady of Light gently pinched the bridge of her nose and stood up from the bed.
Then, behind her, Janine Irene, who was still lying on the bed, also woke up.
After this Paladin lady woke up, she jumped straight out of bed.
"Her Holiness… Are you alright?"
"Huh—where is this?"
She looked around curiously and found that this place had actually become Her Holiness’s bedroom, the one she dreamed of often, and couldn’t help but show a happy expression.
"Her Holiness, we escaped!"
"No, no, Irene, this is not my bedroom."
The Lady of Light heard Janine Irene’s voice and let out a small sigh.
"This is the bedroom of that elder; we are still in her territory."
Hearing the Holy Maiden’s words, Janine Irene was stunned.
"What… is it really like this?"
"So what should we do next, Your Holiness…? There is no one watching us right now. Should we try to escape again?"
Although she did not fully understand the situation, Janine Irene, realizing that she was still in the land of the demon race, brought up the idea of escaping once more.
However, the Lady of Light shook her head.
"No, Irene…"
"We are not escaping."
