This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 648 566: The Mutant Sleeping Beauty
"Aloe is the Sleeping Beauty?"
Hearing Jenny say this, Lette's expression immediately turned serious.
"Actually, I had that suspicion before as well."
During the days they left the Holy Mountain for the Holy City, Lette was responsible for envisioning miracles, and Jenny was tasked with further implementing them.
Although the two had a lot of fun, they never forgot their main mission.
Under the guise of being a mentor and best friend, the two continuously dug into and investigated Aloe's past from various angles.
One could say that Aloe had been thoroughly investigated by these two experts.
Their understanding of Aloe basically surpassed that of all her relatives and friends.
Even Aloe's parents likely didn't know as much as the two of them did.
Jenny had even managed to dig out some of Aloe's small, shy secrets that she'd be hesitant to mention to outsiders.
Lette once jokingly suggested to Jenny that they should form a duo called 'Root Diggers.'
As they uncovered more information, the more puzzled they became.
They were almost convinced that Aloe was a privileged girl with both parents alive, a happy childhood, no obsessions, no persecution, and who grew up healthy.
Born with a silver spoon, she excelled in both character and academics from a young age and, later, was shielded by her parents' blessings to successfully become the Holy Daughter.
The first half of her life was so perfect it felt like a dream, deserving of such a marvelous beginning.
Absolutely nothing like Cinderella!
But obviously, the witch's curse was upon her.
Jenny confirmed this fact time and again, even going so far as to bathe with Aloe at one point, nearly causing misunderstandings of a special inclination.
Holy Daughter Aloe, indeed, was chosen by the witch's curse.
But the fractured reality puzzled Lette and Jenny; they couldn't figure out what was going on despite racking their brains.
Finally, during the last instance when Jenny used the Witch Power of Beauty and the Beast, a flash of insight struck her mind.
Such a wondrous life beginning... isn't it exactly the prelude of Sleeping Beauty's life?
At that moment, Jenny sincerely thanked Emily!
Indeed, intelligence doesn't need to be abundant; it just needs to be there at the critical time.
With Jenny's reminder, Lette quickly emerged from the dead-end path he had been on.
"We really focused too much on Cinderella's narrow point. Yes, if you look at it this way, her life experience is truly too similar to Sleeping Beauty's.
That means when her Witch Power awakens, it will turn into a world-destroying nuclear bomb, sending every human on the continent into a deep sleep.
Goodness…"
Lette looked back at the sweetly sleeping Aloe and couldn't help but shake his head.
"She truly is 'beauty that topples kingdoms' in the literal sense."
Jenny also looked at Aloe with some trouble: "This is going to be difficult to handle now."
"Indeed."
As a Witch Slayer, Jenny's awareness of the witch's plan even exceeded that of the first witch, Scarlett.
After all, to fully wield the Witch Slayer's abilities, the Tower of Truth had to relay some necessary information to her.
Additionally, being a meticulous girl, Jenny was able to deduce and analyze through tidbits of information.
Later on, after joining Lette's formation, more supplemental information became available.
Regarding the witch's matters, apart from Lette who knew the complete plan, Jenny probably understood the most.
And it was because she understood the most that she knew that the so-called 'Sleeping Beauty' of the Seven Witches Plan was primarily an abandoned proposal back then.
This path was modified to the 'Cinderella' path midway due to situational issues.
Therefore, even with Lette who had grasped the entire witch's plan, he probably didn't have much information on the 'Sleeping Beauty' path.
In other words, displayed before the two insiders of the witch's plan was an entirely unplanned witch.
The conditions for Sleeping Beauty's feast, what hazards there were, how to avoid it, and how to remove it.
If Sleeping Beauty replaced Cinderella, could the seven witch curses still be harmlessly sealed together?
These all became significant issues.
Lette looked at Aloe with a face full of wry smiles: "No wonder it's the witch's curse, who would have thought that in the end, it mutated.
It's quite a not-too-big, not-too-small surprise!"
"Then... what do we do now?"
Lette sighed: "We can only wait and see. In situations like this, we must counter with whatever comes."
Jenny suddenly sighed softly: "…If only Emily were here."
Lette was startled and looked at Jenny in horror: "Miss, what do you mean by that? Did Emily visit you in a dream?"
"No... I just feel, the beast's intuition ability is truly wonderful and unreasonable!
Also, Emily has been studying the Complete Fairy Tales for the witch's issue.
She's really been striving to resolve the witch's curse.
If she were here, perhaps a miraculous inspiration would appear?"
Lette thought of Emily and couldn't help but smile.
"Her efforts won't be in vain, and our efforts won't cease either. No matter what, the witch's curse will be completely dispelled.
Believe me."
Jenny looked at Lette and solemnly nodded.
Then she reached out a hand, lightly touched it, and Aloe slowly opened her eyes, looking dazedly at the two.
"Huh, I fell asleep again? It's so strange lately, I just randomly fall asleep... and I'm not even that tired."
"Haha, maybe it's... the carriage ride making you dizzy?"
"No, when I first became the Holy Daughter and traveled around with the Church Court's convoy, I never had this happening.
It's really, strange."
Lette smiled faintly, avoiding deep discussion on this topic, and instead began to shift the subject.
"Ah right, today we'll reach the Holy City. Aloe, can you tell us about the fun places there?"
"Divine Envoy, don't you have a lot to handle when you go to the Holy City?"
"Ahem, of course, I have a lot of things to handle! Busy as can be. But Jenny loves visiting historical sites; she's long since yearned for the Holy City!"
Upon hearing this, Aloe immediately embraced Jenny's arm: "That's great, once we reach the Holy City I'll be your guide, ensuring you have a great time.
Oh yeah, Jenny, would you like to stay at my place?"
Jenny was surprised: "Us... staying at your place? Is that alright?"
"No, no, no, Divine Envoy has a designated residence; the Church Court will arrange everything properly."
Aloe apologized with a smile: "I also want to invite the Divine Envoy to stay at my home, but you know, my father is the Red Archbishop, and he wishes to compete for the next Pope position.
If the Divine Envoy visited my home, it might cause unnecessary trouble for your itinerary.
But for Jenny, it's fine.
I also want my parents to meet my newly-made good friend!"
Lette smacked his lips, feeling somewhat sidelined.
But he still gave Jenny a confirming look; since they might have to part with Aloe once they reached the Holy City, it would be best if one of them stayed with the potentially explosive Sleeping Beauty.
