As the new Demon Queen, ...
Chapter 149 A puppet at the mercy of others A lifeless, at the mercy of others...
"It seems so..."
Dan Tart looked the machine up and down, feeling unsure again.
"I also heard that two nobles came to inspect the work yesterday. The steward took them around and found that they didn't find any seeds they liked, so they left empty-handed."
Marshmallow continued to add, "Those two nobles are one fat and one thin—"
Having said this, Dantart was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
It didn't dare to question the noble in front of it anymore, and went forward timidly.
"I'm so sorry. I was distracted just now. It's my fault! You can punish me however you want, but since it's the Queen's arrangement, we should leave immediately and don't delay."
Egg Tart respectfully carried the machine into the car, and under the dissatisfied gaze of Chocolate Ball, he carefully closed the door of the car, and went to the front to drive the car with Marshmallow in a dejected manner.
The vehicle started with a roar and a slight bump could be felt in the car.
"Xia, you are really good at acting. You scared them so much!"
The teddy bear came out of his pocket and looked excitedly at the chocolate ball...who was Cecilia in disguise.
"Great, Oscar, here you go."
Lin Ke also waved his robotic arm and uttered meaningless words.
Cecilia was concentrating on writing and drawing on someone's palm, telling everyone what had just happened in this way.
For Weir, who only has the sense of touch, everything around him is unknown and empty.
And she is his only connection with the outside world.
…
The noisy sound woke Cecilia up. She yawned, looked around subconsciously, and turned her head to meet Wilbert's cold face.
The light from outside shone through the gaps onto her sleeping face. Her silver hair was slightly curled and entangled with her golden hair ends.
Almost subconsciously, she stretched out her hand and played with the shiny silver hair, stroking her pointed ears, the teardrop mole under her eyes, and the bloodless lips...
The soft touch made her rub it a few more times, and she couldn't help but increase the strength.
The other person's brows were furrowed, and his silver-white eyelashes were trembling, as if he was about to wake up.
“Ahem.”
She cleared her throat guiltily and looked away…wait, Will couldn't see again, what did she have to worry about?
Thinking of this, she confidently shifted her gaze back and stared into those gray-blue eyes.
"Have we arrived yet?"
Wilbert, who had awakened, asked her about the current progress, but someone's mind was full of other things and ignored the information at hand.
Perhaps because he had not regained his vision, his eyes were empty, lifeless and unfocused, but this also made him look more like an exquisite toy.
A lifeless doll that can be manipulated at will.
"Why don't you answer?"
What a handsome face! The more I look at it, the less it looks like his annoying brother...
"What happened?"
If he could keep quiet and not move around, it would be perfect to put him in the bedroom as a decoration.
"Can I help you?"
Perhaps, she could find a way to bring him back...
"...Where are you touching?"
A slight tingling sensation on the back of her hand woke Cecilia up.
The sharp fangs pierced the skin, and bright red blood flowed down the wrist, staining someone's pale skin, sliding from the corner of the mouth to the jaw, and then to the neck...
At some point, she touched the other person's cheek and kept rubbing it until he couldn't bear it anymore and bit her before letting go.
"There was dirt on your face, and I was kind enough to wipe it off for you, but you actually bit me?"
She was the first to complain, relying on the fact that Weir knew nothing about the outside world, and made up excuses.
"Dirty things?"
His fingertips moved rapidly.
"Sorry, did you take it off? Is it still there? What kind of dirty thing is it?"
He really has a severe mysophobia...
Cecilia grasped the hand that was almost smoking, and the cold fingertips moved in her palm, making her feel itchy.
"Don't worry, it's just a little dust. It's clean now."
She responded.
When it comes to dirty things, Will is like a cat with its fur standing on end, with resistance written all over her body. As the instigator, she naturally bears the responsibility of smoothing her fur.
Boom boom boom.
A dull sound was heard outside the carriage door.
"My Lords, we have arrived at the castle. It is time to get off the car."
The egg tart carefully opened a crack and humbly poked its head out.
"knew."
As soon as there was a knock on the door, she quickly put skin on herself and Will and turned back into the appearance of chocolate balls.
She moved her chubby body and pulled Weir and Linke out of the car, not forgetting to wake up the sleeping teddy bear on her shoulder.
What meets the eye is still a colorful picture. When we arrive at the so-called castle, the dessert-style architecture has not been restrained at all, but the messy desserts have been changed to colorful chocolates.
...Chocolate is the aristocrat among desserts. Who made this rule?
Cecia was puzzled.
Crunch.
A sound was heard from the air, and then a huge claw rose from somewhere. The claw was pink and tender, and looked like the clamp in a claw machine.
Today's "dolls" are the obese humans in the carriage.
Their overly bloated bodies make it impossible for them to move freely, and it is difficult for human power to shake hundreds of pounds of weight, but the pink claws that fall from the sky can easily grab them.
Even though they were suddenly lifted into the air, they did not panic, and continued to stuff dozens of desserts into their mouths.
The pink paws moved slowly, and eventually brought them back to a pink castle.
"It seems that the princess has taken a fancy to the seeds this time."
Marshmallow whispered to Egg Tart, "I heard that the pink castle is the residence of Princess Caramel Pudding, and it is filled with all kinds of high-quality seeds... Hey, I can have a seed for everything."
"Stop dreaming."
Egg Tart slapped the marshmallow hard, then looked at Cecilia and put on a flattering smile.
"Sir, our mission is accomplished. According to the rules, we cannot stay in this castle for long. We must go back now."
They only stayed for a few minutes, and the biscuit guards next to them were already impatient, as if they were going to urge them to leave quickly in the next second.
"Are you guys going back for something?"
She thought for a moment, looking down at them.
"Well, the steward should arrange new tasks..."
Before Marshmallow could finish his words, he was hit on the head again.
"No, no, what can we do?"
Dan Tart's face was sullen, and his small eyes were full of human greed. "If you have any instructions, just tell us, and we will definitely find a way to do it."
Although these two guys were not good people, she didn't know anyone in the castle, so keeping these two guys around might be useful.
Moreover, Dantà is obviously ambitious. With desire, there is also a handle, as long as she uses it properly and knows how to handle it...
"My brother has an eye disease and is in need of two smart guards. You stay here."
She waved her hand and gave orders without giving them any choice.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!"
Dan Tart immediately understood what she meant and bowed gratefully, "From now on, even if you ask me to jump into the sea of fire, I will never refuse!"
Jump into the fire?
When she heard the strange content of the oath, she became concerned again.
Does this mean that dessert people, like ordinary desserts, will melt when exposed to fire?
After that, using Lin Ke's ability to make his wishes come true, and with the help of the [Word Speaker], they successfully obtained the identity of aristocrats. Under the banner of meeting the queen, they also fought for two clean and tidy guest rooms.
"Xia, I just heard from them that the castle will hold a party soon and has invited guests from different areas to attend. The queen will also appear at the party!"
Teddy bears are small and easy to hide, so they often sneak out to gather information.
"When is the party?"
There was no one else in the room, so Cecilia and Wilbert did not wear skins and returned to their original appearance.
She used the excuse of "taking care of her younger brother" to live in the same room with Weil, while Lin Ke stayed alone in another room.
"Tomorrow night!"
The teddy bear answered excitedly, very proud that he could help.
"Okay, then we'll go meet Her Majesty the Queen."
The corners of her mouth pulled up into a smile, and her eyes stayed on Wilbert on the bed——
"Tonight, the action remains the same."
…
The dessert chefs seemed to dislike the light of candles. Even at night, they rarely used lighting tools and only placed a few candles in the corridor.
Therefore, they seldom go out during the dark hours, and no one else moves around in the castle except for necessary patrols.
While living in the castle, Cecia would take Wilbert out every night... or to be more precise, sneak out.
Although it is inconvenient to bring a living person with you, there are always more solutions than problems.
These days she tried carrying the person in her arms, dragging him, and carrying him on her back, but she found that it was most convenient to carry him on her shoulders.
Carrying poor Wilbert on her right shoulder and a cute teddy bear on her left shoulder, she nimbly avoided the patrols' searches and moved freely in the castle.
"Xia, what have you been looking for these days?"
The teddy bear asked softly. It watched Cecilia busy for dozens of days but still couldn't find what she wanted.
"Forbidden fruit, and human beings, both of these things must be in the castle."
Cecia said affirmatively, continuing to move forward along the planned route, "The Queen's castle is heavily guarded and too difficult to sneak into, but I have ruled out most of the rooms in the Princess's castle."
"The only things I haven't been to yet are the princess' bedroom and the warehouse."
She tiptoed towards the warehouse, took out the key she had prepared long ago, and slipped in.
A sweet smell accompanied by an indescribable stench came, like a delicate and delicious dessert mixed with the excrement of living things.
"Ugh, this place stinks."
She couldn't help retching.
If regaining her sense of smell means smelling this kind of thing, she would rather not have it.
Carrying the candle stolen from the corridor, the faint light barely illuminated the environment in the warehouse.
The deep part of the warehouse was filled with dessert remnants and what looked like chewed vomit. The disgusting scenes were extremely stimulating.
It's not hard to understand why the smell here is so bad.
"Ugh... do you think the forbidden fruit is buried under this... this pile of stuff?"
The teddy bear resisted the urge to vomit and looked at the disgusting things with a frown.
"Won't."
She answered decisively.
Even if she was there, she would never rummage through this pile of things.
"Since there is no forbidden fruit and no human here, there is only one last place left."
