Chapter XVII Decisions
For Sophia, who is in the position of a princess, this is already considered a humiliation.
Sophia took a deep breath and put her anger away, if she didn't say a few words and fell out because of her emotions, it would only be bad. Sophia convinces herself that as long as she can get valuable information, it doesn't matter if she is not a princess but a captive.
Just as Sophia calmed her anger......
"I thought you'd be angrier. ”
Lucia tilted her head and said this, but Sophia's mood was a little unstable again.
- Don't make me angry if you know!!, Sophia swallowed the words back again. She had already understood that if she didn't take the lead, it would go on and on in inconsequential places.
But can you really take the lead?" Sophia looked at the girl in front of her who was so beautiful that even she would be jealous.
In Sophia's opinion, the girl sitting in front of her is either an expert in negotiation, or she is the type who is so self-disciplined that she will not be influenced by others, no matter what kind it is, it is difficult to deal with. Sophia glanced at the butler named Einstein, who was waiting respectfully beside Lucia. Sophia was almost certain that Lucia was the former, and there was no way to suppress such a dangerous subordinate without extraordinary means.
I really don't want to go on if I can, but it's impossible, only Sophia knows how important what she's doing, and the rare clue can't just be cut off.
Even Sophia, as a princess, only knew that the mansion had been handed over to a dangerous merchant as part of the reward, and that the name that Lucia had simply said after several inquiries had not been able to ask, and that alone had a value that could not be given up.
"You say you're not related to the merchant named Mephistopheles, but unfortunately that doesn't seem convincing to me. This mansion originally belonged to the Wang family, and as you can see, its value has long exceeded the boundaries of being a gift. ”
"It has nothing to do with me, it's your business to believe or not to believe. ”
This time, Sophia really raised her forehead, which is not an attitude of wanting to talk about it at all.
"Do you know how dangerous that businessman is?
Originally, these were not secrets that should be told to outsiders, but Sophia had no choice, the pressure on her from this strange transfer was like a guillotine whose rope had been untied, and the ominous smell revealed in various details made her almost out of breath.
"Just after meeting with Mephistopheles, the king began to secretly mobilize troops, and it was not small, and all those who wanted to investigate were executed, and even I was almost put under house arrest......"
Unable to watch her country go further and further down a dangerous path, Sophia, who was mindful of her responsibility, risked her life and left the palace with the only trusted escort to secretly investigate.
"The businessman didn't know what ecstasy had been instilled in the country's top officials, there was no one to trust in the country. As a princess, I've gotten involved in dirty tricks, and the situation has reached this level. ”
Lucia listened quietly to Princess Sophia's words, and her heart exploded.
- Whoa, knowing this kind of big conspiracy, you're definitely going to get in trouble. Lucia felt that she had set up a flag, which was not a good sign, and if she didn't know it, the village chief would come to guide her on how to fight the final boss.
'I'm so sorry that it was my carelessness that led me to get involved in the boring game of humans and demons, and it would not have been ......possible to investigate the way to this mansion more closely.'
Einstein's words came back to Lucia's mind. To this, Lucia hastily replied, 'It's not your fault'.
Of course, it wasn't Einstein's fault, but Lucia didn't think about everything and only thought about the situation where the devil was doing something in the house.
Thinking of this, Lucia decided that she could tell Sophia something and use it to get out of trouble. As for the plot to sabotage the demons with the princess, Lucia has no obligation or responsibility.
Lucia feels that she is not the protagonist of the game, there is no need to rush forward when she sees the plot events, the princess's country will be saved by the princess, and she just needs to watch from the sidelines, whether he is the village chief crying and fainting at the door or the producer crying and fainting at the door.
――If the princess is crying and fainting at the door, it is not impossible to be a cheerleader. Lucia looked at Sophia looking at her beautiful face, a little tongue-twisting, but it didn't matter, anyway, two beautiful faces were looking at each other.
"Well, I do have some information, but I don't know if it's useful. ”
"Do you want to die for this country? Look at it...... Huh?"
Sophia, who reacted, showed joy on her face, but the joy immediately turned pale because of Lucia's next sentence.
"Mephistopheles is a demon. ”
Sophia's heart sank to the bottom, and it couldn't have been worse.
"Einstein, come on. ”
Albert Einstein stepped forward.
"I once had a small deal with a superior demon named Mephistopheles, and that's it. As for the mansion, it can be regarded as a signal for peace, and it is very cost-effective to reduce the number of enemies by favoring the water. ”
After Einstein finished speaking, he retreated to his master's side and looked at Sophia with a seemingly humble but tough gaze.
But Sophia doesn't have the time to care about Einstein's eyes now, she has a headache for the devil, and by the way, she also has a headache for Einstein, who can be feared by the devil.
The situation is even more serious than imagined, and in the worst case, there is even a minister and a demon in cahoots, which is a great crime of betraying the entire human race.
But should it be said that it is a blessing in misfortune, it is only the high-ranking demon who comes, not the boundless thing that is strong when you hear it, such as the demon king and the demon general.
Sophia let out a long breath, and instead of worrying about what had happened, it was better to calm down and think about what to do. Although I don't know if it's a breakthrough, the Leviathan master and servant who have a certain understanding of the enemy are indeed good clues.
Thinking of this, Sophia tried to ask.
"Can you let me stay here?"
Without vetoing or affirming, Lucia tilted her head and asked.
"Are you sure?"
Is there a problem with living in a house that she got from the enemy? Sophia was a little amused, she had taken the risk of leaving the palace to find a breakthrough from the outside, and now she would still back down because of such a little danger? Of course not.
"I'm cuter than you, don't you feel inferior when you live with me?"
- It's the truth, but don't tell it! Sophia subconsciously wanted to put a gavel on the head that was cutely tilted in confusion.
No, no.
Sophia reached out and pressed back the bruised tendons that had erupted in her forehead. This kind of innocent girl can never be this kind of natural black and stinky character, just look at the pure eyes to know that there is definitely a traitor instigated.
"That's nature, my lord's beauty can't even be matched by the sun and the moon, let alone the princess of a country. ”
Einstein sighed with heartfelt emotion and offered praise at the right time.
- Well, the traitor is here. Sophia was not surprised at all, and she even had a hunch, and she was jokingly thinking about whether to use a strange charge to give the butler who didn't look like a good person a death sentence.
