And with this volume 8 is done! Thank you all! I'll began cleaning for vol 9 tomorrow, so kindly wait for it! And please tell me if there's any mistakes or blank pages, I'll fix it later, it's already midnight in my country. Once again thank you!

Spoiler: My thoughts on this chapter

This chapter might be the strongest chapter in this volume, I love the twist and it all wraps up nicely. But also, this chapter is literally the hardest I've ever did, the cleaning, typesetting, and the wall of text is insane for me. But I enjoyed it regardless and this has been a learning experience for me

Based on the chapter title and the first few pages, I thought the twist would be that the goddess ordered Meylin to play the role of villainess for some reason, and the sister knew about it. Still a really good chapter compared to the last few.

The worst villain in this one has to be the Duke, who for some godforsaken reason decided to allow his step-daughter to pull this shit off rather than helping his blood-related daughter. If they were half-sisters I would've bought it more. Maybe the stepmother provoked the situation, but she wasn't even mentioned in the chapter, so who the hell knows what her involvement was.

Thank you so much for uploading these! I really enjoy these bite sized stories when I just don’t have the energy or time to take in a longer story.

I kinda feel bad for Kaizen, cause he's more or less being fooled, lied, and used.
But at least after being called out on page 27 he start to accept his own mistake, and own it.
In the end his action also more or less help Meylin clearing her accusation.

daaamn we eating good with the last one of the volume, what a nice story.
Only weird thing is the prince when he started to get questioned, he should have talked with her queen to remove the miasma in the other places instead of keep getting trashed by the truth, as he asked the "villainess" to stop with those questions, he clearly knew already he f*cked up. Well we still in the oneshot format, but at least that way we would also learn the queen was a fake saintess.

I was having a really bad day. Thank you for uploading this.
I am now purified.

Praise the Goddess.

 

[Liedral]

Satisfying!! I like this chapter.

 

[BrownStorm]

Actual revenge story with some villainy behaviour, good stuff

 

[Chocorock]

The usual trope is the first wife is the "terrible woman he was forced to marry" and once she dies, the father gets to marry a hot lady. So I'm guessing it was that usual spiel. He prefers the daughter of the woman he likes?

Yeah, it's pretty rare for this type of guy in villaness stories to admit they were wrong, execute the actual wrongdoers and not even beg to get remarried.

 

[Ceiye]

Ey this one wasn't too bad. The MC actually dealt with the issue with her own power instead of Just Some Guy swooping in and solving everything

 

[Vmpslushie]

Damn. Did they really need to kill the stepsister for this? Poor kid is gonna grow up without a mother. (Though I guess being raised by that monster would have fucked them up even more.)

 

[The_Strahl]

Now thats how you write a proper revenge story. Fuck man, that was such a satisfying read

 

[Wannieee]

Oh this premise is really cool, and perfect for an oneshot too

 

[anideki]

This was amazing wtf I'd love a 12 to 20 chapters version of this. (Just so I can see them married with kids tbh)

 

[EggMiner]

This was most definitely the best story in the volume. The Prince is at least worth of praise for pushing forward with the contract and not trying to cover anything up. He seems like a guy with some morals. He just was blind to the faults of the one he loved.
And the MC was so cool with how she handled the situation.

 

[Kikaibaka]

Well you have consider what the answers to the questions were doing to the Kingdom at large, people rallied around the Stepsister and the Prince because Maylin was a supposed villainess. So for it to be revealed later on that Maylin is not only innocent but was a victim of said Stepsister(who was their Kingdom's Saintess to boot!), and STILL purified your lands, if she wasn't executed there would have been a coup to oust the Royal family. It's extremely telling that the Prince took his child and left, and made no attempts to argue for her life to be spared.

 

[Shiden]

The weakness in this story is that with a perfect lie detector, all they really had to do is submit any initial testimony to the same scrutiny.

For any crime whose punishment is above a certain threshold, allow the accused to defend themselves before God, with a massive increase in penalty if they are found lying.

"I am innocent of the charges leveled against me"

"TRUE"

Boom. Problem solved.
