Chapter 275 The Villain Lady Arrives 103

Following Lancelot's orders, the people began to disperse in an orderly manner, their faces filled with long-lost peace and hope. Vivian looked at this scene, feeling both relieved and emotional.

"Vivian," Alice called softly, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice.

Vivian turned to look at Alice, her eyes full of understanding and encouragement. "Alice, what exactly happened here? It's related to the Temple of Light after all. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation. As for me, I need to go back to discuss countermeasures with my father and prepare for the next action."

Alice nodded. Although she felt mixed emotions, she also understood that Vivian's decision could not be changed. She took a deep breath and smiled. "Don't worry, Your Highness Vivian, I will be here, waiting for your return."

"Father," Vivian said softly, "let's go."

Lancelot nodded and took the lead, followed closely by Vivian, and the two gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Back in the palace, Vivian and Lancelot sat opposite each other in the study. The study was quiet and solemn, with only the occasional bird song outside the window breaking the tranquility. Lancelot personally made a cup of tea for Vivian, and the aroma of the tea rose, as if it could dispel all the fatigue and worries.

"An'an," Lancelot broke the silence, "You have grown up and become so strong and brave. I am proud of you, but I am also more worried about your safety."

Vivian took the teacup and took a sip. The warm feeling instantly spread throughout her body. "Father, I understand your concerns. But please believe that I am no longer the little girl who needs your protection at all times. As a god, I have the responsibility and ability to protect my people and expose the evil hidden in the darkness."

Lancelot sighed, a trace of helplessness and heartache flashed in his eyes. "I know you have your own mission and responsibility. But as a father, I just hope you can be safe. How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Vivian put down her teacup, her eyes becoming firm and deep. "First, we need to thoroughly investigate those forces that use faith to commit fraud and plunder, and bring them to justice. Second, we need to strengthen the management and supervision of the Temple of Light. Finally, and most importantly, we need to strengthen the people's faith in me."

Lanster frowned upon hearing this, and a trace of worry flashed across his eyes that had seen through so much. "An An, your speculation is not without reason. The Church of Light, especially the top leaders, have deep and complicated minds, and often use any means to consolidate their power. Alice's arrival may really be a carefully planned test, as you said."

He pondered for a moment, his eyes falling on Vivian, his eyes full of mixed emotions. "But if it is true as you said, that the God of Light is dissatisfied with you, and even intends to weaken our faith in you through Alice, then doesn't it mean that our Lanster Kingdom will also be involved in a dispute between gods?"

Vivian shook her head slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In that smile, there was both comfort for her father and confidence in her own abilities. "Father, you don't have to worry too much. First of all, although I am a god, my power comes from every living being on this land, especially those people who sincerely believe in me. As long as their hearts remain firm, my power will not be exhausted."

She paused and continued, "As for the God of Light, although he is a high-ranking god, everything in the world has its own laws. There is also a subtle balance and restriction between gods. As you said, light and darkness are two poles that are interdependent and check and balance each other. If the God of Light really attacks me regardless of everything, then he will face the backlash of the laws of the entire God Realm and even the world."

Vivian's eyes became deep and sharp, as if they could see through all illusions. "Besides, I am not alone. In the divine world, the God of Light has not only friends, but also enemies."

Lancelot felt relieved after hearing this, but he still couldn't hide his worry. "Even so, we can't let our guard down. The Church of Light has deep roots on the continent, and its influence cannot be underestimated. Once they decide to harm Lanst, the consequences will be disastrous."

Vivian nodded in agreement. "Father is absolutely right. Therefore, we must be fully prepared. First, I will strengthen surveillance of the Temple of Light to ensure that their every move is under our control. At the same time, we must also strengthen our alliances with neighboring countries to jointly resist possible threats."

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling city outside, with a strong sense of responsibility in her heart. "In addition, I have to continue to improve my strength to cope with the challenges that may come. And all this takes time."

Lancelot stood up, walked to Vivian, and patted her shoulder gently. "An'an, you did a great job. As the king of Lanster and your father, I will fully support you. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we, father and daughter, will fight side by side to protect every living being on this land."

Vivian turned to look at her father, her eyes sparkling with gratitude and determination. "Thank you, father. With you around, I have nothing to fear."

Lancelot looked at Vivian's resolute face, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. His daughter not only inherited the glory and wisdom of the royal family, but also possessed the mercy and power of a god. Facing the current predicament, she already had her own plan, which made him both relieved and worried.

"An An, how do you plan to deal with the matter of Saint Alice?" Lancelot's voice was low and serious, and every word revealed how serious he was about this issue.

Vivian turned around, her eyes flashing with deep thought. "Father, Alice's identity is special. She is not only the Saint of the Temple of Light, but also the spokesperson of the God of Light in the world. Taking action against her directly will undoubtedly anger the God of Light and may even cause a conflict between the God Realm and the mortal world." She paced gently, as if weighing every possible consequence.

"But if we leave her alone, we're afraid she'll continue to do evil, or become a pawn of the Church of Light to infiltrate Lanster." Vivian continued, frowning slightly. It was obvious that this problem was giving her a headache.

Lancelot nodded to show his understanding. "Indeed, Alice's existence is like a double-edged sword. If not handled properly, it will hurt itself. But have you ever thought that maybe we can use this opportunity to let the Church of Light voluntarily evacuate Lanster?"

Vivian's eyes sparkled as she heard this, as if she had found the key to solving the problem. "Father, what do you mean..."
