"First of all, do you know the rumors surrounding my… Baron Rose?" She hesitated a little and changed the way she called her husband.

Clearly, she didn't want to call Rowen Rose her husband anymore and decided to call him Baron Rose instead. From her tone when she changed the way she called him, I noticed some anger and hatred hidden beneath it.

'She has despised him.' I thought as my smile dropped from my face.

"I heard from Eliza yesterday," I replied and put on a sympathetic expression. "Was that your… trial, Madam?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, yes. And it seems that he failed in his trial." She replied with a sheepish smile, hiding the sadness she felt. "If you've heard about it from Eliza, then this talk will be faster. It's about the favor I wanted to ask you."

"Please, do ask anything. It's the least I can do to repay you for what you did for me in the past. This family had helped my orphanage survive, thus allowing me to grow up. That's why don't hesitate and ask me what you need, Madam Vivian."

"You're really kind, Arthur." Madam Vivian responded with the same sentences that she had told me a few times already. "But that won't do. I promise I will repay you for this favor as this is for my personal benefit. Please do understand my position as a lady of nobility." She continued with a smile.

"That– Alright." I nodded at her. I had no problem if she didn't repay me anything because I knew what she wanted to ask, which also benefited me. But still, if she still wanted to repay me, then I wouldn't refuse. "And what's the favor you ask me, Madam? I guess this is related to my position as Paladin."

"Indeed." She nodded in confirmation. "Let's cut it into the case." Her tone was lowered, and her smile became prominent on her face. "Can you help me get a divorce, Arthur? And possibly, helping me to move to Academy City with Eliza."

'Perfect!' I shouted in my mind.

I had already guessed the divorce, but the second part about helping her move to Academy City with Eliza was unexpected. Maybe not that unexpected because she probably wanted to get away from this territory as far as possible, but it was still a pleasant surprise.

Was what she saw last night the one that pushed her to make this decision? I fell asleep after hearing her masturbating, but did something else happen after that?

I didn't know, but this was perfect for me. Everything was going smoothly, even better than what I had planned. It was as if the Goddess was helping me to get the girls I wanted due to how easy it was.

"Are you sure, Madam?"

Even so, I shouldn't show my happiness in front of her, as that was equivalent to getting happy with her divorcing her husband.

"Yes. I am not asking much, but if you can introduce me to a priest or a property in the Academy City, then… that would be perfect."

"…Very well." I nodded at her and stood up. "I will first visit the church in this territory to tell the priest that someone wants a divorce. It would be good if I hid your identity, no?"

"Much appreciated." Vivian smiled widely at me as she stood up from her seat. "I am really thankful for your help, Arthur. Once again, I will repay your kindness in the future."

"You're welcome."

I shook her hand and smiled alongside her while thinking, 'You can always repay me in the bed in the future, Vivian. I can wait.'

***

After talking to Vivian, I exited the mansion and saw Eliza and Emilia training in the backyard of the mansion. Emilia instructed the younger girl how to use <Wind Magic> as efficiently as possible by using the same amount of MP.

They worked hard and concentrated deeply in their training, albeit I noticed Eliza's face had reddened. Emilia teased her, huh? That was the only explanation I could think of, and it made me smile.

Not wanting to disturb them, I decided to have a walk. The wolf girl was still sleeping in my room, and it would stay like that until night, so I didn't need to worry.

However, I needed to do something in the church this morning, and that was dealing with Rowen Rose, who had just been revived, according to my <Presence Detection>.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

I needed to kill him once again before anyone saw him in the revival chamber to gain another day. Or better yet, I could declare him a Sinner and lock him in the church's jail until I said otherwise; that seemed like a better option.

I still needed to do something in this place, and I wouldn't let Rowen Rose revive before the divorce was fully approved.

Also, I still needed to hear from Beatrice about the situation in Border City and wait for Sandra and Jane to arrive in this territory.

Speaking of Sandra, I was worried about her and Astro's meal. I hoped my little pet wouldn't forget me and stick with Sandra for now.

In the meantime, there was also a problem with the new administration plan in Border City.

It really needed some serious work, and I specifically ordered Beatrice to watch over Nina, the bunny girl, because I didn't trust her yet.

Lucy and Melissa were one thing as I had dominated the Vampire girl, and the Succubus girl and her subordinates would follow Beatrice without exception.

'Maybe I should order Beatrice to expand the Succubi's group with her power, but they will be hard to manage then.'

I hoped Beatrice would do a great job of making Border City habitable, as it would become an essential location in the future if my plan went smoothly.

The prologue of Sins Paradise was over, and my preparation went smoothly. Soon, the game's main plot would start, and this world would fall into a bit of chaos.

Though it wouldn't affect me too much, I knew I would get involved. Why? Because I was interested and it looked fun.

After walking through fields and residential areas, where the people were so friendly that all of them greeted me with smiles, I arrived in front of the church of Rose Barony. It was located near the outskirts, right behind the residential area.

To be honest, I was expecting this church to be similar to the one in Academy City or Bluerose Duchy, but…

"It's so small."

Even so, the bell tower beside the church with its symbol on the roof had become a beacon for me to find it as the other buildings in the Barony were also small, and most of them were one-story buildings.

With a quick peek on my radar, I noticed there were only five people in the church, and no church knights were present in the area, which was a bit strange considering this territory was close to the border.

Or maybe because this was close to the border, the main church only sent five people here so they could evacuate as soon as possible if there was an ongoing war; hence the location of the church near the outskirts of the Barony. 

That could also be a possibility.

'I guess people who went to war will revive in the Capital City, or they could also build a revival chamber in a secret place.'

The church only had a few personnel was a bit surprising, but at least it was clean and still had the small stairways to the top, with two naked Angel statues greeting everyone who arrived.

"Now…"

I went upstairs with confidence as I strapped [Excalipoor] on my waist and [Shadow Cape] over my shoulder.

"It's time for work for my future's sake."

And I disappeared into the shadows.
