I play a Evil God in Otome Game

The only thing Rick noticed was that the Priests were treated like nobles. The paths of ordinary people and the Priests were separate. Groups of people appeared to be like sheep beneath the Priests.

It was both disgusting and excessive. People did not deserve to be treated like sheep. Yet, this was not something Rick could intervene in.

As his thoughts shifted from the city to Excalibur, questions echoed constantly in his mind. What was this sword, and was it really King Arthur\'s sword?

According to the Pope, it was the sword of the Goddess, but Rick, thinking of the myths of his own world, could not remember anything like that before.

"I see you are alone here?"

"Yes, Pope Bartolomeo. Why have you come?" Rick said calmly. Even though the Pope had come personally to his feet, he did not care. Apparently, the Pope didn\'t care either, as he approached Rick with a slight smile.

"Pope, tell me. What is this King Arthur incident?" Rick turned his gaze back to the city. The Pope moved closer to Rick and said, "King Arthur is the Emperor of Albion and the holy King of Camelot..."

The Pope paused for a moment and, with a hint of fanaticism in his voice, continued, "He has dozens of titles I cannot even count. Would you like to hear them?"

"No."

"I thought so." The Pope smiled. He then glanced around Aurum Sancta. "Seven hundred years ago, Morgana had enslaved the entire continent."

"Princess Morgana, the daughter of Uther and Igraine?" Rick asked as he turned his gaze back to the Pope. Although the Pope was surprised that Rick knew this name, he did not show it. "Yes, Princess Morgana is the daughter of Uther and Duchess Igraine. It seems that the legend of King Arthur has even spread to other worlds."

"A very famous king in our world."

The Pope smiled slightly. To include his position, he continued his story without giving away. "Even though I am curious about this, let\'s save it for later. Let\'s continue."

"The King, who grew up in Sir Ector\'s estate, was blessed with a Sword when he turned fifteen." The Pope\'s eyes shone with slight appreciation. Rick reached out, and when Excalibur revealed itself with a faint glow, the Pope paused for a moment, then continued with admiration.

"This Sword you see in your hand is the Legendary Sword used in the creation of Heaven itself."

"Heaven?"

"Yes," Pope Bartolomeo said. "In the beginning, Heaven and Earth were one. There were no humans yet, and the Goddess solely ruled the Earth."

"Weren\'t there any other Gods?" Rick asked curiously. The Pope vehemently denied it and said sternly, "The Goddess is the only being that is the oldest and the most powerful. All other Gods are things called Devils by humans."

Although Rick doubted this, he did not voice his thoughts to the Pope. The Pope cleared his throat and continued his words. "But there was a problem. The Goddess had decided to create humans.

"The Goddess was ready to allow humans to be in Heaven, but she noticed something." The Pope explained calmly. "Humans could not be free in this way."

"Why?" Rick furrowed his brows. Why was it a problem for the Goddess that humans lived a beautiful life throughout their lives?

The Pope smiled and continued, "Because humans would fear the Goddess. Then, Heaven would not be a place of residence but a Hell."

"Now think," the Pope squinted his eyes and said. "Imagine a place where people live in fear. Rebellions would arise, and they would be so filled with fear that they would rise against the Goddess and attempt to take her Throne."

"I don\'t understand," Rick shrugged and continued to hold Excalibur carefully. "Aren\'t people going to Heaven after they die now? Then what does this mean?"

"People will learn pain, loss, and poverty in this life, and if they deserve it in the other life, they will live in Heaven forever..."

The Pope quickly replied. Rick scoffed and looked harshly at the Pope. Then, he mockingly criticized Celestivum. "If ordinary people are condemned to a life of poverty, why do you live in such a palace? What is the difference between you and other people?"

The Pope fell silent. His eyes turned to Excalibur, which shone even brighter. Seeing Rick\'s angry gaze on him, the Pope\'s eyes narrowed. Feeling Excalibur glow even more with Rick\'s emotions, the Pope tried to calm Rick.

"Calm down, Lord Rickard. Take control of yourself."

Surprised to hear his full name, Rickard looked at Excalibur and felt its light intensifying, prompting him to send Excalibur back immediately.

As Excalibur vanished in a flash of light, Rickard felt fear upon seeing how Excalibur had activated without his knowledge. As the previous sensation left his heart, Rickard felt his mind opening up even further.

Furrowing his brows and wrinkling his forehead in distress, Rickard looked at the Pope. "You did well by telling me this. If you need to save the world, I will help you, but do not expect politics or any of that nonsense from me."

After giving the Pope one last glance, Rick came out from the balcony. The Pope, left alone on the balcony, narrowed his eyes with a deep cunning glint.

"It seems like quite a challenging individual..."

Manipulating Rickard would be difficult for the Pope, but not impossible. The Pope had a powerful trump card in his hand. Even if he hesitated to use this trump card, if Rickard continued this way, the Pope would have no other choice.

"Your integration with Excalibur will be faster than the rebirth of the Devil King," the Pope said coldly. "Then all your will, all your soul, will be dedicated to the Goddess."

As the Pope\'s silhouette vanished under a glimmer of light, time flowed quickly, and the sun began to set. Watching the unique view, Rick sighed and curled uncomfortably in the bank where he was seated.

"If Jack were here, I really wonder what his reaction would be," Rick smiled, thinking Jack would beg to touch Excalibur, and he chuckled.

"Who is Jack?"

Rickard, startled by the woman\'s voice, quickly turned his head and saw a very beautiful woman. Her long white hair was tied up in a high ponytail, with some strands falling loosely to the side.

She wore a blue-black skirt and shirt. High-heeled shoes adorned her feet, and her earrings were made of diamonds. She had a large chest and an ideal, flawless figure.

Her eyes were where Rick\'s attention was drawn. Her sapphire blue eyes shone like diamonds, and she had a perfect, alluring style. Rick couldn\'t help but blush when he saw the woman.

"Wh-who are you?" Rick stammered, cursing under his breath and trying to act unbothered. The woman smiled faintly. "I hope I\'m not bothering you, but may I sit beside you?"

Her voice sounded like music to Rick\'s ears. He quickly moved aside and made room for the woman. She sat down gracefully on the bench and smiled.

"My name is Syvelia. It might sound strange to you, but I think you\'ll get used to it," Syvelia said, looking at Rickard kindly. Rick shrugged, showing he didn\'t mind.

"I want to ask how you know me when we\'ve only just met?" Rick asked, his curiosity piqued. Syvelia laughed softly and covered her mouth with her hand. "Everyone in the city knows you. My father came here for some business, and he wanted me to come along."

Syvelia\'s eyes wandered over Rick\'s body, and she smiled enticingly. "But if I had known there was such a handsome man, I would have come sooner."

Rick coughed, his cheeks slightly flushed. A subtle smile appeared on Rickard\'s lips. Compliments were good for everyone, and Rick was no exception.

"Everyone\'s whispering that you are the Holy Heir chosen by Excalibur," Syvelia said, with a touch of excitement and curiosity. Although Rick didn\'t know why such rumors were spreading, he didn\'t care and showed Excalibur. "Would you like to see Excalibur?"

It wasn\'t a problem for Rick to make a woman happy. Attracting the attention of a beautiful woman was an extra bonus. Rick, who had brought out Excalibur again, gently held the sword, which had a glowing, divine aura.

"It\'s beautiful..."

Syvelia\'s eyes sparkled. She reached out her hand to take the sword but waited for Rick\'s approval. Rick smiled. "Don\'t worry, you can take it."

If King Arthur knew that his legendary sword was being used to show off to women like a mere ornament, his bones would ache in his grave.

Rick didn\'t care and casually handed the sword to Syvelia. Taking the sword, Syvelia examined it curiously. Her eyes glinted with a hidden coldness.

Her delicate hands glided over the sword\'s unique divine metal. Her eyes followed its flawless design, and they glowed. "This sword... It\'s so beautiful."

"Excalibur really is a unique sword," Rick agreed, also expressing his love for Excalibur. Syvelia, without paying much attention to Rick, continued to examine the sword.

Her mind was set on transferring her mana to the sword to see if she could control it. Quickly, Syvelia transferred her mana to the sword. When she saw that the sword absorbed her mana, she smiled.

Suddenly, Excalibur was engulfed in flames, beginning to burn Syvelia\'s hand. Syvelia, displeased, stopped pouring mana into the sword.

Even though the flames were burning her skin, Syvelia was angry enough not to care, and she didn\'t show it on her face.

"Hey! Hey! Are you okay?!" Rick, seeing the reaction from Excalibur, looked at Syvelia with concern. Syvelia\'s eyes remained calm, and with narrowed eyes, she examined the sword.

Despite the flames burning her fingers, Syvelia didn\'t care. After a while, she returned the sword. Rick quickly took it back.

"I\'m sorry. I didn\'t expect this to happen," Rick said, genuinely looking apologetic. Syvelia waved her hand dismissively.

Syvelia smiled sweetly. "Don\'t worry, I\'m fine."

Rick sighed, and then they chatted until the sun completely set. Eventually, when Syvelia stood up, Rick also stood to see her off.

"If I\'m free, you can visit me anytime," Rickard smiled charmingly, using all his flirting skills.

Syvelia simply smiled. Then, she gently kissed Rick\'s cheek. As Rick\'s cheeks flushed again, Syvelia pulled back.

"If I come here again, I won\'t forget to meet you, handsome," Syvelia winked. Then, she waved her hand and turned in her heels, walking away.

"Damn, she was so hot..."

Rick, touching the spot where Syvelia kissed him, smiled, and realizing it was late, he walked away.

******

Syvelia stood in front of the mirror in a room in Celestivum. She took off her earrings and allowed her hair to fall freely as she undid her bun.

Then, Solomon raised his hand, deactivating the Fairy Magic and returning to his original gender. His feminine chest disappeared, replaced by a fit body.

"He was too stupid to be a Hero," Solomon sharply scolded Rick. His emotions had disappeared from his face. His eyes, now returning to their original gray color, continued to remove his clothes thoughtfully.

"Taking Excalibur seems impossible for now..."

Solomon had intended to steal Excalibur from Rick. He hadn\'t seen the scene where Rick awakened Excalibur, but he had felt it.

That power, that might, was something he\'d never seen before. With the Goddess\'s Sword, Solomon\'s plans could advance— and quickly.

"Unfortunately, I won\'t be able to get the Sword," Solomon sighed. His eyes grew colder. "But I can still win his endless obedience. I\'ll make him my slave so he can turn all my enemies to dust."

As Solomon\'s thoughts drifted into dangerous territory, he quickly changed his clothes and left the room in a stylish manner.
