Gladys was a little excited at the thought of meeting all kinds of fish that adored the little princess.
You should know that the little princess's admirers are all high-quality fish. Each of them has a handsome face and diverse attributes. They are handsome men of various styles... It's like a collection of cards in a gacha pool.
"Admirer?" Laura was dragged onto the broom by Gladys. He frowned slightly when he heard Gladys' question. "Ms. Witch, you misunderstood. I'm not excited..."
"No, you do." Gladys rubbed her hands.
Gladys was thrilled anyway.
This little excitement made Gladys temporarily forget the discomfort she felt when interacting with the little princess. She sat on the broom, hugged the little princess's slender waist very casually, and said confidently:
"Oh, by the way, although we may have to meet your admirers, which is exciting...but, my slave, I tell you, don't even think about escaping from me, and don't even think about playing the hero-saving-the-beauty trick with your admirers in front of me."
Laura: "......" Here we go again, right?
Gladys was worried that when she brought the little princess back to the kingdom, she would flutter away like a free-range swan, so she emphasized in a vicious tone:
"Princess Laura, remember, I'm only taking you back to the kingdom temporarily. If you send me back, I'll keep you locked up in the tower."
Laura: "Yeah, okay."
Laura's answer was so fluent that Gladys was choked.
"Oh... then I don't have anything to say. Okay... then just be good." A few minutes later, Gladys's troubled voice came from behind Laura.
Laura smiled.
The two of them flew away from the tower on brooms.
The top broom is fast...
The wind from high above blew across the bodies of Gladys and Laura. The little princess Laura's black and smooth hair fluttered in the air, and Gladys was mesmerized by the sight.
Why... the little princess's hair is so beautiful...
Gladys thought this woman was so beautiful that it was hateful.
The broom flew so fast that Gladys and Laura looked like a flash of lightning to the people on the ground.
This lightning caught the attention of a white-haired young man wearing assassin's armor in the demon forest below. The young man narrowed his eyes, glanced at it coldly, and then looked away because he couldn't see clearly what the lightning was.
The young man clenched his two swords with his slender, scarred knuckles, concentrating his attention and staring closely at the giant spider monster in front of him.
Because the giant spider monster was a cross-level monster for the boy, he used all his strength in martial arts.
——Martial Arts
One-step control...
Second style around the back.....
Three strangulations...
The fourth move is a fatal blow.
However......
When the white-haired boy was performing the fourth martial art, the giant spider monster suddenly broke free from its restraints.
The giant spider broke through the paralysis effect on its body. It was angered by the white-haired boy's behavior of restraining it. It was furious and determined to eat the boy as a meal!
The young man thought to himself that something was wrong, and he increased his speed and moved with force, stabbing at the giant spider monster with all his might.
The spider jumped back to avoid the attack of the white-haired boy. It condensed venom in its mouth and sprayed the dark green venom towards the white-haired boy.
The white-haired boy bent his body sideways sharply to avoid the venom, which fell to the ground with a sizzling sound.
The boy's armor was corroded by the splashing venom, revealing his white skin. The giant spider looked at the boy with saliva flowing from its mouth.
The giant spider once again sprayed highly corrosive venom at the white-haired boy.
The giant spider monster attacked fiercely, and the white-haired boy narrowly avoided it, but in the next second, the strong spider silk caught his ankle, and the strong spider silk pulled the white-haired boy towards the spider monster!
The boy's body dragged across the ground. The giant spider monster drooled, and new venom condensed in its mouth, just about to spray him...
At this moment, the girl's anxious voice rang out from the sky, "Oh my god! His hair must not be bald!"
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky. It was the same lightning that had just streaked across the sky. The lightning fell back and stopped in mid-air. Only then could the white-haired boy see clearly what the lightning was.
A broom with two women on it.
One of the red-haired girls jumped off the broom and ran to the giant spider monster. She raised the black wand in her hand and said, "Wand, help me beat up the spider!"
The white-haired boy, Sosia, instinctively reached out to grab Gladys. "Wait! Run! That's a high-level demon beast! Not something an ordinary person can handle!"
Unexpectedly, after the red-haired girl finished speaking, the wand in her hand burst out with an extremely dark and evil light. The terrifying light made Sosia stop talking immediately...
Amidst the terrifying light, black branches and leaves quickly grew out, exuding an ominous aura. Then, these ominous black branches and leaves attacked the giant spider. Within just a few seconds, the giant spider monster had its blood sucked dry by the black branches and leaves.
Gladys turned her head and saw Sosia's iconic white hair. She looked him up and down, her eyes excited and her tone cold: "Are you Sosia from the Blood Moon Mercenary Group?"
Sosia was stunned.
“…”
Here's what happened...
A few minutes ago, Gladys took little Princess Lola from the tower to the kingdom. Because the top broom was so fast, Gladys and Lola rushed into the border of the kingdom in just a short while.
When Gladys and the little princess entered the kingdom, the system prompt sounded immediately:
[Congratulations to the host for completing the first stage of the Kingdom Quest: "Bringing Princess Laura into the Kingdom"]
[Because this is a series of quests, the rewards for the first stage of the quest will not be distributed yet. They will be distributed after all stages of the Kingdom Quest are completed.]
[Now I will read the background information of the Kingdom's Grand Mission. Please listen carefully.]
[The light elf that was supposed to inform Princess Lola's admirers that she was locked in a tower by the evil witch Gladys and guide them to the tower to rescue her has disappeared for reasons unknown...so the plot has come to a standstill.]
[The system's mechanism determines that the disappearance of the Light Elf and its subsequent impact are plot bugs.
In order to prevent the plot bug from continuing to expand and cause worse consequences, the system has specially created a kingdom mission with a response strategy.]
The Kingdom's Grand Quest is as follows: The Wicked Witch Gladys will take the little princess to meet each of her fish, bully her in front of her fish, and loudly tell them that she, the Wicked Witch, is the villain who is abusing Princess Lola. This will help the little princess' fish understand the pitiful situation of being abused by the Wicked Witch, and fix the plot bug after the Light Fairy disappears...
The system paused, then explained in a different way: "In other words, the host must bring Princess Lola to the front of the little princess's admirers to attract enough hatred. Only then will the little princess's admirers be furious and rush to the tower to rescue Princess Lola, ushering in a happy ending."
"The quest will only succeed if all the fish know that the evil witch has imprisoned Princess Lola in a tower, and they successfully bring the little princess back to the tower."
[In summary, the Kingdom Quest is somewhat difficult. The system wishes the host good luck~]
It's more than just a little difficult...
When Gladys heard the details of the kingdom's mission, her face darkened.
Taunt the little princess in front of the fish, and then evacuate safely with the hostage little princess...
You have to know that the little princess's fish are not easy to mess with. They are either powerful, influential, or have extremely high martial arts values. Some are even powerful saints of the church under the rule of the God of All Things...
Gladys took a deep breath. This was truly a test of her villainous abilities as an evil witch.
The system's mechanical sound continued to ring in Gladys's mind.
[After completing the first stage of the mission, the host can choose the order of the next stage of the mission.]
Gladys came back to her senses and asked the system, "What does this mean? Please explain it in detail."
[That's right, the Kingdom Quest consists of many stage quests, the number is indefinite...]
[Theoretically, each stage task corresponds to a fish of the little princess.]
[For example, if the host chooses the little princess's childhood sweetheart, the knight, as the target of the second-stage mission, then all the host needs to do is take the little princess for a stroll in front of the knight.
Let the knight know that the evil witch Gladys is abusing Princess Lola, and that the evil witch will lock Princess Lola in a high tower and then take Princess Lola away from the knight...]
"If you say so, do I have to see all of the little princess's fish?" Gladys frowned and asked thoughtfully.
[News will spread around, right? The host only needs to meet the important people, and the rest of the fish will naturally know.]
[The host can choose the order in which to meet the different fish... Which of Princess Lola's fish would you choose as the target for the second stage of the quest?]
Gladys began to think...
There are so many fish in the little princess's pond...
But, Gladys thought, she knew who the first fish she would meet was.
That was the fish she supported the most—the young killer from the Blood Moon Mercenary Group, White-haired Sosia!!!
So, Grati didn't hesitate at all: "Where is Sosia?"
[I'll check it out. Please be patient and don't be anxious.]
After a few seconds...
[Found it! Host, Suosiya is currently carrying out the mercenary group's adventure mission in the Demon Forest~]
Gradys took Lola and quickly turned around and returned to the Demon Forest.
“…”
The black branches and leaves rustled and retreated...
The shriveled corpse of the giant spider monster remained where it was.
Gladys touched her wand with satisfaction, "Wand, thank you for your hard work."
Sosia bit the corner of her lip to regain her composure.
He slowly responded to Gladys' question, "I am indeed Sosia from the Blood Moon Mercenary Group. Who are you?"
"I'm the evil witch Gladys who was passing by," Gladys said. In front of Sosia, she pointed at Lola with her fingertips and said with a very malicious and disdainful tone, "As for this woman, let me introduce her... She is my servant, Lola."
Sosia's gaze shifted between Gladys and Laura.
The evil witch and her minions?
When you first see Gladys, the mysterious witch dress, the evil and gorgeous witch hat, the black wand... will make you think that she is an evil witch.
But...if you look closely, she has a cute face, amber eyes like a deer, and a cold expression that can't be called vicious, and has nothing to do with evil.
And the servant next to the evil witch... "she" is very beautiful.
However, although "she" was wearing a maid outfit and standing meekly in front of the evil witch, her golden eyes revealed some indifference in the shadows. She did not look like a weak servant at all, but rather exuded a colder evil feeling than the evil witch.
Sosia's eyelids twitched, and he felt that the slave's identity was not simple. He looked away, not wanting to cause trouble.
"Are you on an adventure mission?" Gladys looked at the corpse of the giant spider monster and spoke to Sosia.
"Yes." Sosia said honestly.
Regardless, the fact that this evil witch was able to easily take out the giant spider shows how incredibly strong she is... naturally, not offending her is the best option.
"Can I ask what the adventure mission is?" Gladys moved her mouth and started chatting awkwardly.
"Submit the adventure mission of the giant spider monster's spinner and eyes to the mercenary group." Sosia replied.
"This mission can earn you 100 gold coins..."
"This is an internal mission that can only be carried out by members of the Blood Moon Mercenary Group. But because this spider monster was killed by Her Majesty the Witch, I can complete the mission, and all the gold coins obtained will belong to Her Majesty the Witch." Sosia said modestly as he looked at Gladys. He had a smile on his face, but he was actually a little nervous, fearing that this evil witch would change her face.
Gladys was thinking...
100 gold coins...
The monthly expenses of an average family in the royal capital were only 10 gold coins.
Wow, huge profits.
As the top killer of the Blood Moon Mercenary Group, Sosia must be very rich... This is also shown in the original book, but being rich is not an important attribute of Sosia, so it is only mentioned in passing.
The rich white-haired boy... worthy of being the stock she supports.
"My wand only gave the spider monster the final blow. If it weren't for your previous efforts, the spider monster wouldn't have been killed so easily by my wand." Gladys said modestly.
She doesn't want to take the white-haired boy's head!
"And how can I take all your gold coins?" said Gladys.
Sosia was stunned, and suddenly felt that this evil witch really didn't look like an evil witch. Why was she so polite and kind?
Gladys said confidently, "I think twenty-eight gold coins will do."
Sosia: "Hmm?"
"How about you two and I eight?" Gladys smiled and the lion opened his mouth.
Although Gladys supports the white-haired boy's stock, she is a fool not to make money. She is an evil witch and not a philanthropist!
If it is 28, then Sosia will get 20 gold coins.
20 gold coins aren't enough to pay the Blood Moon Mercenary Group's enlistment fee...
Suosiya suddenly had a feeling that he was doing charity.
It turns out this girl has bad intentions...
In this way, Sosia felt relieved.
After all, she is an evil witch. If she acts too abnormally, Sosia will find it weird.
Sosia cast a disintegration spell, essential for adventures in the demon forest, at the giant spider monster, decomposing it.
After a moment, Sosia put the materials of the giant spider monster into his backpack.
Suosiya had a sweet smile on her face and asked Gladys curiously, "Are you coming to the Demon Forest to collect herbs, Witch?"
"It's like this, I was just passing by the Demon Forest... My servant and I got lost." Gladys sighed.
Gladys, true to her evil witch persona, complained in disdain, "My servant is so useless. He even forgot to take the map I prepared."
Laura glanced at Gladys.
Gladys continued to say to Sosia: "I saw someone here just now, so I brought my servants here to ask you for directions."
"I see." Sosia blinked. "Where is your destination, Madam Witch?"
"The castle in the kingdom's capital," Gladys said enigmatically, arms folded. "My servants and I have important matters to attend to."
"What's going on? How come I don't know?" Laura suddenly spoke slowly.
Gladys was stunned. Fearing that Lola would ruin her plan, she quickly mocked Princess Lola in front of Sosia, "My servant, even though you keep saying that the castle guards are powerful, they are nothing compared to me, the evil witch Gladys. Don't even think they can save you."
Her tone was vicious and sarcastic.
The system immediately praised Gladys in her mind: "Host, what you said is really great! If you can speak well, please speak more!"
However......
Sosia naturally ignored Gladys's sarcasm towards the black-haired woman.
As a killer in a mercenary group, his sense of justice is not that strong, and he doesn't want to meddle in other people's affairs.
"I only accepted a spider monster mission today, and now I have to go back to the Blood Moon Mercenary Group, so... if it is the capital of the kingdom, then Your Majesty the Witch and I are just going the same way." Sosia said.
Sosia said to Gladys in a friendly manner, "I can go with you and lead the way for you."
"Really? That's great. This way, my useless slave and I can finally reach the royal capital." Gladys continued to emphasize that her slave was extremely useless, maintaining a perfectly vicious tone.
Laura looked at Gladys deeply.
Although what Gladys said in front of Sosia was an act, she did not lie about taking Princess Lola to the capital of the kingdom.
Many of the little princess's fish are distributed in the kingdom's capital. After meeting Sosia, Gladys will definitely go back to the capital to attend other events.
However...if we walk directly from the Demon Forest back to the capital, it will actually take a lot of time.
Gladys could have taken Lola directly to the kingdom's capital on a broomstick and waited for Sosia at the entrance of the mercenary group, thus saving herself a long walk.
But Gladys felt that by going with Sosia, Sosia would be able to see up close and for a long time how her evil witch abused the little Princess Lola.
Most importantly, this way, Sosia will have more time to spend with Princess Lola.
In the original book, Sosia's role was very small, which made Gladys feel very unwilling.
Now, Gladys can watch Sosia and Little Princess Lola together from a close distance... Of course, Gladys will let Sosia and Little Princess Lola spend more time together.
However......
After the three of them walked together for a while, Gladys discovered a terrible problem, that is, Princess Lola and Sosia did not seem to know each other.
Sosia didn't say a word to Princess Lola.
Little Princess Lola ignored Sosia.
There was an air of indifference between the man and the woman.
At first, Gladys thought that Sosia and Princess Lola didn't talk to each other because the cautious young killer Sosia pretended not to know Princess Lola in front of the evil witch in order to protect her. It was like a beautiful sadomasochistic love story.
But...Gladys soon discovered that Sosia and Princess Lola really didn't know each other!
Gladys' heart skipped a beat. It turned out that what Princess Lola said in the Mirror Abyss before, that she didn't know Sosia, was true.
Looking at the pink-bubbly Sosia and Little Princess Lola, Gladys was afraid that her CP would fall apart. She quickly asked the system in her mind, "System, what's going on? Why doesn't Sosia recognize Little Princess Lola?"
Facing Gladys's doubts, the system suddenly understood. "Just now I was wondering why there was no progress in this stage of the mission. If it's because Sosia hasn't met Princess Lola yet, then it makes sense."
The system's mechanical voice answered Gladys.
[Sosiya doesn't recognize Princess Lola, this must be a bug...]
[The Light Elves have all disappeared. This world probably has a lot of bugs.]
[Next, the host may encounter many situations that are different from the original book while completing the kingdom's great mission.]
[However, please do not worry too much, host. Just complete the Kingdom Quest diligently. After all, the purpose of the Kingdom Quest is to correct the plot bugs that appear in this world.]
Then, the system thought for Gladys and suggested, "If Sosia doesn't know Princess Lola, then the host will have to find a way to get Sosia and Princess Lola to know each other."
After listening to the system's words, Gladys thought for a while.
The young killer Sosiah has a very unique personality. On the surface, he always smiles and seems very friendly and smooth-talking, but inside he is very cold and indifferent. He actually doesn't care about anyone...
If Sosia doesn't like Princess Lola now, then it is really not okay to simply abuse Princess Lola in front of Sosia.
Gladys pondered.
Originally, the quest was simply to bring Princess Lola to Sosia to gain some aggro, but due to a plot bug, I had to do the extra work of bringing Princess Lola and Sosia together...
A bit troublesome...
But Gladys felt she could embrace it.
You should know that her favorite couple is Sosia and Princess Lola! Sosia is her favorite wife, and the white-haired young killer x the gentle and healing beautiful little princess is an eternal god.
Gladys's eyes moved between Princess Lola and Sosia, and she made plans quietly.
After walking in the demon forest for a while...because of Gladys' suggestion, Gladys, Lola and Sosia stopped to rest temporarily.
Gladys tugged at Laura's sleeve and whispered to her, "My slave, do you think this Sosia is special?"
Hearing Gladys' words, Laura frowned.
"Special?" Laura said in a very calm tone.
"His hair is white, like snow, very beautiful." Gladys blinked, wanting Princess Lola to discover the special (highlights) of Sosia.
"Oh, I see." Laura's reaction was indifferent.
Gladys: "That's all you're reacting to? Don't you think white fur is pretty?"
Laura pursed her lips and said nothing.
Gladys actually felt a hint of perfunctoriness from the docile little Princess Lola.
"Look, isn't his face so handsome and youthful?" Gladys did not give up because of Princess Laura's perfunctory response, she continued.
"Really?" Laura said calmly, "But I think... she's not as pretty as me."
Gladys: "..."
Gladys felt like she was about to introduce something to her friends.
She continued to say to Laura, "Don't be so quick to deny him. Besides his face, he has other advantages!"
"For example?" Laura raised her eyebrows and spoke in an even colder tone.
"And... for example..." Gladys turned her gaze to Sosia, who was leaning against a tree at the moment, rubbing the sharp blade with his fingertips. Noticing Gladys's gaze, Sosia looked up and gave Gladys a sweet smile.
Gladys quickly looked at Sosia. Then, she noticed the scar on Sosia's finger, with its microscopic details. She immediately turned around and said to Laura, "Also, his scar is so handsome! So cool!"
Laura: "Oh."
The little princess was unusually indifferent.
Over there, Sosia put away the blade in his hand and inserted the knife into his thin waist. He walked towards Gladys and smiled in a good mood.
"Little witch." Sosia said.
After spending time together just now, Sosia changed the way he addressed Gladys in a short period of time, from the respectful "Ms. Witch" to the friendly "Little Witch".
Hearing Sosia calling her, Gladys immediately changed to a cold tone, "What's wrong?"
Sosia bent down and stretched out her fingertips. Gladys spread her five fingers in front of her eyes and said lazily:
"Let me correct what the little witch said. These scars were actually caused by me accidentally pricking them with a needle while sewing up a broken rag doll for the daughter of Captain Kane of the mercenary group... They won't leave scars and will heal."
Gladys: "..."
"Does Your Majesty the Witch have anything else to say?" Lola glanced at Sosia's hand with her golden eyes, then reached out and pulled Gladys to her side.
Gladys thought quickly and spoke up for Sosia: "Look! He can actually sew dolls. It's really rare to find a boy who can sew dolls. He's so kind!"
Laura's elegant voice was tinged with a chill that He hadn't noticed: "What do you want to say, Your Excellency the Witch?"
"Sosia is handsome, kind-hearted, and has a good figure. More importantly, he has white hair..." Gladys stood on tiptoe and leaned close to Laura's ear, concluding in a low voice.
Laura was in a bad mood.
He remembered Gladys asking him in her consciousness, "She's not the only woman in the world who's in love with two men, is she?"
Then...according to what Gladys said, she might say before Him: "She is not the only woman in the world who has fallen in love with three men."
Laura could even imagine Gladys's expression of both conflict and a sense of evil as she said this to him...
"Sosya has so many advantages..." Gladys continued to speak beside his ear. The girl's breath was warm and softly sprinkled on his ear. He felt a little agitated.
"...So?" Lola spoke very slowly, her golden eyes were deep, and the black branches and leaves rustled, spreading silently in the shadows.
He is the supreme evil god.
A terrifying existence.
He is not actually a God who uses gentle means.
Black branches and leaves slid quietly under His clothes...
Gladys earnestly whispered to Him, "So, you really don't want to consider liking him?"
"I don't want you to..." Laura said subconsciously, and then she realized what Gladys said.
Laura:???
