No one knew about Lin Yan's conversation with the succubus the next day, but from then on, some succubi settled in Lin Yan's territory.
Some of them opened taverns, some opened restaurants, and some simply bought houses and settled down.
The succubus clan was not numerous to begin with, and some succubi did not want to come, so not many succubi came here.
Their appearance made everyone unable to look away, but the gazes of the people here did not contain the disgusted greed that made them uncomfortable.
Even if they liked them, it was a genuine pursuit, without any coercion. The succubi truly began to like this place.
A flamboyant beauty appeared in the royal city, a beauty who was very wealthy and loved excitement.
As soon as she entered the royal city, she rented a manor and then hired many servants. Afterwards, she began shopping, buying many things to decorate her manor.
Then she started hosting banquets. Originally, not many people would have attended her banquets, but she somehow managed to hook up with the emperor. With the emperor's attendance, many high-ranking nobles came to her banquets.
In these banquets, besides the emperor, the most pleased was Marquis Lian De.
Although Marquis Lian De was already middle-aged, he managed his physique well and could produce a beauty like Angelina. His appearance was also very handsome.
Such a handsome middle-aged uncle stood out among a group of fat-headed, big-bellied middle-aged men.
It was precisely because of his face that he was very popular with this newcomer beauty. This made him even more proud among the nobles.
After Lin Yan made her agreement with the succubi, she did not pay attention to those matters anymore. Today, she finally had time and, accompanied by Maurice, went to see those Knights of Light.
Looking at those people who were clearly in a sorry state but pretended to be calm when they saw her, Lin Yan found it very amusing.
"Your Excellency Rose has finally come to see us. When can you let us go?" the leading knight said, tidying his hair and clothes, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Why should I let you go?" Lin Yan asked curiously. "What gives you the confidence that I will let you go?"
"We did not break the laws of your territory, did we? You cannot keep us locked up forever. If you don't release us, who else will dare to come to your territory?" the leader said confidently that Lin Yan would not dare to attack them.
They came from the Church of Light, and that was their confidence. Although Angelina was a former saintess of the Church, she had been exiled. How could she dare to confront the Church again?
Although his strength was not great in the Church, his father was a high-ranking official in the Church, and his companions also had backgrounds in the Church.
If she did not release them, it would be a declaration of war against the Church.
"It seems you still haven't recognized your situation," Lin Yan said with a smile. "I know your identities very well, and I can probably guess who sent you.
It's just the Church of Light, do you think I'm afraid? Since you want my life, how can I let you go so easily?
However, you probably didn't discuss your actions with your families, did you? If you had told them, they would have stopped you. After all, even the Pope has changed his attitude towards me!"
Lin Yan had already received a letter from a high-ranking official in the Church who was favorable to her. The letter stated that the Pope wanted to take her back to the Church of Light and even offered her a higher position.
"What do you mean by that!" the Knights of Light looked at Lin Yan in surprise.
"Why should I tell you? I have seen you today, and you should not hope that I will let you go. Of course, if your families can pay a price that satisfies me, I might let you go.
If there is no satisfactory price, you will stay in this dungeon forever. Don't worry, I will provide for you and not let you starve to death."
After speaking, Lin Yan took Maurice's hand, preparing to leave with him.
Before leaving, Maurice glanced back at them. That glance made them all shiver uncontrollably.
This man is so dangerous!
"Do you think what she said is true?" After a long silence, someone broke it.
"It shouldn't be. How dare she confront the Church!" He had grown up in the Church, and in his impression, the Church had always been a colossus. Even the Emperor dared not provoke it, except for the Church of Darkness.
How could a woman who was once exiled by the Church dare to confront the Church?
"Were we tricked by the saintess this time?" someone suddenly said. They were instigated by the saintess and thought this would be an easy task.
Unexpectedly, they were captured and thrown into the dungeon without even seeing Angelina.
Although they did not suffer any torture, such dungeon conditions were the greatest torture for them.
"Stop talking. She will definitely contact our families, and then who knows how much she will demand. How embarrassing!" he shook his head. "I feel like my father will definitely not pay a ransom that satisfies her."
Listening to their words, the leader remained silent until they had said enough. He finally spoke.
"Judging by her words, she knows our identities. She knows our identities but did not release us. It seems she has decided to fall out with the Church.
I wonder what makes her so confident to challenge the Church. Is it because of those who took action, or because of the man who accompanied her?" the leader calmly analyzed these matters.
"This, how is this possible?" the others found his analysis unbelievable.
"She is a saintess of the Church!" That's right, she was once a saintess of the Church and enjoyed all the privileges the Church gave her. How could she possibly confront the Church?
Everything she had came from the Church. Even if the Church exiled her, so what? She still obtained a piece of land.
These were all gifts from the Church. How could she dare?
"Give up. She probably won't let us go. Even if our families give her enough to exchange, we will never be able to leave here.
The man by her side will absolutely not let us leave." Thinking of that man's gaze, his heart still trembled.
That man was very powerful. That kind of oppressive feeling was something only the strongest person in their family possessed.
Seeing how much that man cherished Angelina, their actions had completely angered him. Even if Angelina truly let them go, that man would not.
