Arin barely had time to process his victory over Lilith before a new challenge arrived.
The grand cathedral of Elysia stood before him, its golden spires piercing the heavens. Pilgrims and warriors alike whispered one name in reverence:
> [New Character Identified: Seraphina, The Saintess of Light]
🌟 Status: Holy Warrior & Third Wife Candidate
đź’– Affection: 0% (Hostile)
A radiant woman descended the marble steps, her silver hair shimmering under the sun. She wore pristine white armor, golden patterns glowing along its edges, and her sapphire eyes burned with divine authority.
Selene clicked her tongue. "Ugh. A holy knight? How annoying."
Lilith smirked, leaning into Arin's side. "Careful, my Lord. That woman reeks of purity."
Seraphina's gaze locked onto Arin. "You… are a blight upon this world. A man with power far beyond mortal limits—an existence that disrupts the balance."
Arin sighed. "Let me guess. You're here to kill me?"
She unsheathed her sword, a weapon of celestial energy. "I am here to judge you."
The air trembled. Holy magic surged, forming golden chains that shot toward him.
Arin didn't move.
CLANG!
The chains shattered against his aura.
Seraphina's eyes widened. "What…?"
Arin took a step forward. She instinctively stepped back.
Her instincts screamed that this man—this monster—was unlike any being she had ever faced.
And yet…
Why did her heart race?
> [Affection Increased: 0% → 30%]
Arin smirked. "You sure you're here to judge me? Or are you just afraid?"
Seraphina clenched her jaw. "I… I am not afraid!"
Arin appeared before her in a blink, their faces inches apart.
"Then prove it," he whispered.
A shiver ran down her spine.
> [Affection Increased: 30% → 60%]
Lilith chuckled. "Oh dear. Another one falling for him already?"
Seraphina's face turned red. "I—I would never—!"
Arin smirked. She'll come around soon enough.
