Chapter 71 – The Saintess of Ruin
"Don't worry. I'm known to be a gentle and caring master," Ethan's voice echoed, stunning Airi to her core.
Saintess? His Saintess?
Airi froze, completely puzzled. She couldn't wrap her head around what he had just said.
Because surely… only gods could have Saintesses. A Saintess wasn't some mere title—it was a divine role. A chosen one. A messenger blessed directly by the gods.
And blessings… were something only gods could give.
So—
"What… what do you mean?" Airi asked in a voice soaked in confusion, not understanding where Ethan was going with any of this.
Ethan, of course, understood her confusion. He knew exactly what Saintess meant to someone like her. He knew the weight behind the title.
So why did he say it?
Simple.
'What if I'm not a god? he thought. If I want something—if I truly desire it—then as long as I'm willing to pay the price, I can take it. I can make it mine.'
