BOOM BOOM yarr iz good and nice with guns blazin yeahh

The demon inside a body of the dead who asked for revenge.

I commented this on another post, but because I spent too much time on this + everyone was bashing this story, I thought I might as well post it again for everyone to read in case they wanted to. I'm a novel reader and have read up to chapter 146. If you want to confirm the spoilers about Alicia losing her powers + everyone falling for the Saintess - skip to the next highlighted header. I apologise in advance for the long post. THE PLOTLINE SUMMARISED-ish....: Alicia is tasked to become Liz Cather's (the Saintess) monitor - as we come to find out, she is this 'epitome of good' virtuous character. This means that Liz is very naive and optimistic although academically smart. Alicia, on the other hand, embraces this villainous role she's assigned and takes a more realistic stance (in an immoral fashion no less) and is VERY intelligent. For this reason, she's placed as a monitor by the King and the other ruling powers as they can't have the Saintess bring ruin to the Empire through her idealistic approaches. An example that can be seen is through the fact Liz wanted to use the Empire's money to fund another neighbouring Empire whose economy was in ruins because 'it's good to help people', despite the Empire having its own issue of the impoverished village that had people dying and on the brink of rebellion due to horrid conditions. Alicia brings up her notoriety as a villainess by criticising Liz the loved Saintess constantly (this is to teach Liz the realities of the world she lives in - and that her idealistic approaches aren't always the best solution), which causes her to be hated by everyone - including her own brothers (apart from Henry + Duke the Prince, and Gilles - the boy she saves from the impoverished village). Even when Alicia and Gillies are kidnapped and almost killed due to Liz and her followers - Alicia's brothers attack her for killing the kidnappers brutally due to Liz's 'violence and murder is wrong' 'life is holy' philosophy. ***IN REGARDS TO THE SPOILERS ABOUT ALICIA LOSING HER POWERS + EVERYONE FALLING FOR THE SAINTESS***: To preface this, Alicia with the help of Grandpa Will and another character called Rebecca transform the impoverished village into a place worth living in. It's true that Alicia loses her magic, but that is only momentary because she actually ends up giving up one of her eyes to Grandpa Will (the old man in the impoverished village) because he's helped her so much. + Because magic and perception are somewhat linked, it takes a few weeks for Alicia to get her magic back - but she 100% does get her magic back. Alongside that, not everyone falls for the Saintess Liz Cather. As briefly explored, Henry and Gilles don't fall for her optimistic and idealistic ways. The main character though, the Prince - Duke who was supposed to originally fall for Liz, ends up falling HARD for Alicia instead.

Shes extremely op. She can see spirits.
