Michael didn't see anyone beside the Duke when he died in his foresight. He only saw the Duke lying on the ground alone, he couldn't see who would be the one who would kill the Duke in the future.

'Duke… duke… I will avenge you, I will burn them to ashes…'

Michael could hear his own voice in the foresight, his eyes couldn't let go of the horrible sight in his foresight, it felt that his heart had been crushed from inside when he saw the Duke's motionless body.

'If... if the duke dies, and I can't find his killer, then I might as well kill everyone in this world. So I can surely avenge him, what is the use of being a saint if I can't protect or avenge my loved one,' Michael thought.

[Pupa: Alert! Breakmeter decreases to 92%... 90%... 85%.]

Yunyu's heart jumped, he panicked and cursed in his heart.

[Shi--! How could it be!? I thought Breakmeter can't be decreased!]

[Pupa: It can, Breakmeter is hard to fill, because it fluctuates. Fatemeter is actually harder to fill, because love is very tricky. That's why other hosts rarely could fill the Fatemeter to 100%. You have the talent.]

[I don't need that talent, aaahh! My precious Breakmeter! What is in Michael's head anyway, what did he think about?!]

[Pupa: Maybe he sees something. Maybe he sees that you are unpleasant to the eyes, so he just got disgusted and hates you.]

[But his Fatemeter is stuck at 100%! There is no logical explanation for this!]

The foresight slowly disappeared and Michael regained his sense back, he blinked a few times. He saw the Duke standing in front of him with worried eyes, "Your highness, are you alright? You look… strange."

Without warning, Michael hugged the Duke tightly, this time, Yunyu could feel Michael's hand trembling and he gripped Yunyu's body until he felt pain.

"Duke, I will not let anyone hurt you. I will never let go. I will never let anyone go," Michael said. His voice was hoarse and emotional, as if he could break down at any moment.

Yunyu still couldn't understand what was in Michael's head. He was also a powerful vampire, he could protect himself well. In fact, aside from Saint Michael, there was no one in the Holy Kingdom Rianel that could beat him.

"Your highness, your worry is baseless. I can protect myself well. Just because you are a lot stronger than me, doesn't mean that I'm weak," Yunyu tried to calm Michael down, but he became even more restless than before. The foresight rarely missed, Saintess had predicted everything, she even predicted her own death. It was all predetermined and it was almost impossible to change.

Michael wanted to protect the duke, he wanted to do something so nobody could hurt the Duke. It was the first time for him to fall in love with someone, he had lost the Saintess, someone who was dear to his heart. Now he would lose the Duke too?

He would go insane.

Yunyu was suffocated with Michael's tight hug. It was so tight that he literally could feel everything, it felt like he was hugged naked by Michael.

[System, I can feel his uhm… manhood pressing against mine… that is huge.]

[Pupa: you want to have sex with a saint? His semen will be 100x more painful than the holy water.]

[I—I was just saying! I don't want to die after that… besides, I'm still a cute little virgin.]

[Pupa: I can read all ideas in your mind with 99% accuracy. You are definitely not a virgin in your imagination. That is one wild brain.]

[H—hey, no peeking!]

Yunyu struggled after some time, because it seemed that Michael's emotional fluctuation affected his spell. Yunyu started feeling the holy aura from Michael again.

Michael realized it and released the Duke. The Duke took a few steps back and he said, "I will return back to my mansion. Your highness, you are now the new saint, everyone is waiting for you there. I hope that you can be a good saint. Please don't visit me, I don't want the people to hunt me again if we have entanglement with each other."

"But���" before Michael could continue, the Duke smiled faintly at him and disappeared. The Duke returned back to his mansion.

Michael stood in silence, a bitter smile pasted on his face, "How could I not visit you? How could I not get entangled with you? How could I not see you? I will never let go, Duke. I will make sure that nobody would be able to touch you."

Michael returned back to the church to appease the masses. He kept his fake smile and said that the Duke was not dangerous, he made an alibi, "The Duke stopped me because I am a new saint, I can't control my power yet. If I released the light before, it might hurt you."

The people seemed to believe everything that he said, at this point, if he said to them that they should kiss his feet, they probably would do it without thinking twice.

Michael gave a blessing to all of them with his magic, but it was just a fake blessing. He just imbued a warm glow to them, so they thought that they got a blessing from him. Michael was truly disgusted with all of them.

'There is no way I will give them true blessing, that will be a waste,' Michael thought.

After everyone had left, he wanted to immediately return back to the Duke's mansion. But an old man appeared in front of him with a smile on his face. He was using the same white robe with a golden pattern and said, "My son, you are now the saint. A saint is the epitome of kindness and forgiveness, will you forgive your poor father? We had a fight before, but I've always regarded you as my real son, I don't want us to be separated by some kind of misunderstanding."

Michael looked down at the almost powerless Head Priest. Michael had successfully stripped almost all power from him, he locked himself inside the church nowadays and didn't want to see Michael anymore.

Now that he became the Saint, this vicious old man wants to reconcile? After all those assassination attempts on him? Hah, ridiculous!

"It is already my forgiveness to spare your life, old man. You are free to roam because I don't want to dirty my hands. You can enjoy life as a regular old man without your power now, enjoy it," Michael laughed mockingly and left the Head Priest.

The Head Priest stared at Michael's back, he chuckled, "You'll see."

***

Yunyu was in a bad mood in his room now. He was so close to completing the mission, he was only five percent short to complete it, but the sudden drop of Breakmeter ruined it. He sucked the chicken blood groggily.

"This world is really harsh and punishing. I didn't do anything wrong and I got punished with the Breakmeter drop," Yunyu complained.

The system was not used to deal with this kind of inexperienced host. Many of its previous hosts were cunning and cold hearted, they saw the Breakmeter drop as a fun game and they could easily reverse the situation.

"Pupa, Tell me that this world is a hard world, right? Did you accidentally send me into a difficult world as the first mission?"

"… this is the easiest world, at least the one that is beginner friendly to you," Pupa said truthfully.

"T—This is the easiest!?" Yunyu was mind blown. He thought that his world was challenging enough.

"You have a powerful body, a fairly docile man as your target, and you have a good status. You really lack nothing in this world," Pupa said.

Yunyu was silent, he couldn't accept the fact that Pupa was right about this. He really lacked nothing in this world.

Suddenly, Pupa reacted, it made itself invisible and said, "Michael is coming."

Yunyu was surprised, before he could react, Michael already teleported right in front of him. Yunyu jumped back, he was not used to Michael appearing out of nowhere like a ghost.

Michael smiled seeing the Duke surprised face, he chuckled, "Were you surprised?"

"What are you doing here? I said, you shouldn't visit me," Yunyu asked cautiously.

"I'm here to do something to protect you, Duke," Michael smiled, but there was a hidden intention in his smile. He chanted something inaudible for Yunyu, and he pointed his fingers at the door, and a light screen, similar to glass, appeared around the room.

"What did you just do?" Yunyu didn't feel hurt at all, but he could feel that his strength had been depleted, he was weakened after Michael chanted his spell.

"This is my holy protection, nobody will be able to break through the door or window, nobody can enter your room except me, and… you cannot leave your room at all, you might also feel a bit of side effect with your power weakening inside this room," Michael said solemnly.

"Duke, I'm keeping you safe."
