Chapter 50 Chapter 50 I am willing to be the lover in the dark...
...the remaining soul of a monster.
From the Jingyu Temple to the underground room of the Light Association, and then to the dark room of Capet Manor, the so-called "human world" contains countless residual souls of monsters harvested from hell, and this is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Remnant souls are also spirits. By piecing together and nourishing them with human evil thoughts, they can also create a group of complete monsters with extremely strong attack power.
“…”
Raising monsters in the human world is simply impossible for ordinary humans. The Illuminati's involvement is obvious, but how much involvement do the angels in heaven—and the gods behind them—have?
After that battle, the three-headed dog has been guarding the Styx to prevent monsters from crossing over. The source of the residual soul can only be hell a hundred years ago, or the battlefield of the great war; either way, the residual soul has been in the human world for a hundred years, and the formation of a complete monster is definitely not a day or a night.
"Why were they suddenly released to cause chaos... Why did they attack..." In the town where she had been, the only intact survivor would be Evelyn, who had shown kindness to her?
Lin Miao's temples throbbed with pain. Just as she was about to raise her hand to rub it, a warm, rough touch pressed down on her forehead first. The force was not strong, but it just soothed the surging pain.
"I'll help you." An Wei raised his tone, as if he had already predicted that the human girl would be troubled by this, and could even accurately capture her subtle movements.
"Miaomiao, do you want to go and take a look at that town? I can take you there without a teleportation array."
Field research is indeed a good way to find clues. However, after a moment's contemplation, Lin Miao shook his head. "Releasing the monsters to devour the town was a deliberate act by someone, regardless of whether they were targeting me or not... and how much they know, if they dared to do it, they wouldn't leave any clear-cut traces."
"There's no point in exploring it yourself."
The devil's lowered eyes were fixed on the side of her face, and it seemed that all his energy was focused on massaging her solar plexus. His technique was gentle and experienced; it was impossible to tell whether he was seriously considering Lin Miao's response.
"Then just ignore it?" After hearing Lin Miao's voice stop, he raised his eyes slightly and continued the conversation.
"Of course that's not possible." She raised her eyebrows, "Let's not talk about my promise to Eve..."
"The forces of Dark Hell are wreaking havoc on the world. How can the Justice and Light Association sit idly by?! When Lord An Wei returns to the Association, you must order a team of elite divinely favored individuals to the town attacked by monsters to investigate the situation."
Lin Miao picked out and reread the word "elite", and the meaning was self-evident.
The demon who had been entrusted with this important task saw her cunning expression, and his heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, like a dogtail grass scratching a sensitive area, a sour and numb itchy feeling seeping out from the cracks in his bones. "Of course, this is my duty."
Lin Miao was proud of his idea of killing two birds with one stone for a second, then frowned: "Chess is a game of back and forth. Now that the other party has made a move, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Let's enter the royal family as planned as soon as possible... We need to get more chips."
"I must go after that piece of trash..." He stopped talking abruptly, instinctively resisting saying the last two words. Instead, he said unwillingly, "Miaomiao, there's no need to go to all that trouble. I can just sneak into the palace and look for him... I won't be discovered by those humans."
"The palace has too much 'attention' from Heaven. Lord Anwei shouldn't take the risk simply because exceeding the magic power threshold will trigger the forbidden array."
Lin Miao said that it was Errol who told her about the forbidden magic circle. "We need a legal identity that can move freely in the palace, a reasonable way to explore the secrets."
"Even though it's called a 'marriage', the person doesn't have to be the Seventh Prince." Lin Miao thought he had given a clear enough hint, almost saying 'you are allowed to replace the groom', but the big dog still looked unhappy.
The sight was like cotton wool soaked in snow water, damp and cold spreading across her brow.
He said in a low voice, "So, am I Miaomiao's... lover who cannot be seen in public?"
Lin Miao: “…”
Can't we be true lovers?
"If you don't want to, I can still swear an oath with the Seventh Prince." She said with a wooden face.
Lin Miao's wrist was once again held possessively, and the entire demon clung to her with a tenderness that seemed to melt away: "I am willing to be Miao Miao's lover in the dark...as long as Miao Miao can love me more...pamper me..."
"Compared to Miaomiao's dirty and incompetent trash 'husband'... your lover will only be a ****** and make you ******."
“…”
The silky, highlighted long hair was pulled, and "slap", the second slap finally landed on the devil's face as he wished, accompanied by an almost joyful gasp.
Lin Miao's ears were flushed red from the heat. She suppressed the urge to reward him with another slap and said coldly, "Since he is so powerful, I believe Lord An Wei can also think of a way to approach Master Borat without completely alerting Heaven, right?"
Playing chess requires a back-and-forth strategy, but if your opponent makes the first move, responding step by step will only put you in a passive position.
The worst-case scenario is that the other party has complete knowledge of her identity, but Heaven's interference in human affairs is also limited;
Since what she was waiting for was an invasion of the town by man-made monsters, rather than a siege from all sides by the angel army, she still had the opportunity to respond with a two-pronged approach—
President Borat is the only breakthrough point for the Illuminati Association.
"A coward hiding in the magic circle..." An Wei slowly lowered his head, knelt on one knee, and buried his expression distorted by excitement in her shadow.
"The laws of the Kingdom of Kreze stipulate that from the death of each king to the succession ceremony of the new king, the archmage must remain in the palace until the ceremony of summoning the gods is completed. This law is binding on the Light Association, and even the archmage cannot defy it."
"After Miaomiao enters the palace, I can kill the king and force him out..."
The girl's hands occasionally stroked his hair. "Kill the king?"
An Wei: "Yes. The eldest and fourth princes of the human royal family are both eyeing the throne. Once the king dies, the palace will be in chaos. Not only will this lure out Borat, but Miaomiao will also be able to take advantage of the situation to conduct a search."
Seeing Lin Miao remained silent, the demon assumed she was unwilling to harm a fellow being to achieve her goal. Just as he was about to persuade her again, he heard her ask, "Are you sure you won't give the angels a reason to descend to the mortal world?"
The demon was startled, then a delighted smile curved his lips. "I'll do it during the royal hunt next month... The beast has gone wild and out of control, so accidents are inevitable."
"Try not to leak the magic aura." She nodded and agreed to An Wei's suggestion.
Judging from the intelligence she'd gathered in the royal city over the past few days, the current ruler of Kreze wasn't a good person. Relying on the divine oracle received at the succession ceremony and boasting of divine approval, he indulged in alcohol and sex, and committed many bad deeds. The lords across the country followed suit, leaving many people, like Evelyn's family, struggling to even afford food and clothing.
She felt no guilt at all for taking the life of such a foolish and incompetent monarch.
"By the way, please deliver a letter to Lady Cecia for me." Lin Miao added, "I have something to ask of her."
Before he could speak, Lin Miao quickly added: "I don't allow you to do it because you have a more important task - to stay by my side."
The big dog, who was about to pour out his venom, was instantly coaxed into a trance, bubbling with happiness, and what came out of his mouth turned into soft sweet water: "I know... I will deliver the letter... and then protect Miaomiao well..."
"That's right." She looked like a teachable child and flicked the bell on the demon's collar.
*
When Lin Miao returned to Capet Manor in the carriage exclusively owned by His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince (the coachman was a three-headed dog), it was already dusk.
The seventh prince had his memory modified by the devil, and after some casual treatment he was thrown back into the palace; seeing that only Lin Miao got off the car, Mrs. Capet, who had been waiting in front of the manor, showed an obviously unhappy look.
"Why did you come back alone, Leah? Didn't His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince see you off?"
Lin Miao lowered her eyes and spoke shyly, "...Originally, His Highness was going to take me back...but he suddenly felt unwell on the way and was afraid of losing his composure in front of my mother and father, so he left halfway."
"Oh?" Mrs. Capet was skeptical. "Then, did you enjoy your trip with His Highness this time...did you enjoy it?"
Lin Miao instantly understood what she wanted to ask. She twisted the hem of her skirt with her fingers, and her cheeks gradually turned red: "...His Royal Highness took me to Rose Manor... He... He proposed to me to enter into a real marriage..."
Before she finished speaking, the Duchess's beautiful face was immediately covered with a joyful, overflowing smile, and her black eyes were filled with the kindness and enthusiasm she had when they first met.
She walked over, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into her arms. "You are worthy of being my good daughter, Yulia. Mother knew that with your beauty and talent, you would definitely make His Royal Highness fall in love."
"The Seventh Prince is young and promising, and he's also on good terms with the First Prince. If you marry him, you'll be the Seventh Prince's consort, and your future will be bright. If His Highness the First Prince can..."
She paused and patted the back of Lin Miao's hand, her tone full of meaning. "Our Capet family can also benefit from Tolia's blessing. We don't have to be afraid of those old nobles anymore."
Befriend the eldest prince...
Did Mrs. Capet marry her daughter off with the intention of hooking up with the eldest prince?
Yes, the Duke's Mansion wanted to deepen its ties with the royal family, and the best way was of course to support the prince who was "one of their own" to ascend to the throne. Lin Miao was more surprised by her last sentence -
“No need to be afraid of the old aristocrats”?
Before becoming Madame Capet, Thetis was the daughter of the cabinet minister Lugo family, representing the power of the old nobility;
Because she married into the Capet family, or became the real boss of the Capet family, did she change her stance?
Before she could try to find out, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the manor gate.
The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw a court messenger dressed in silk and satin, with a wealthy figure and a scroll in his hand, dismounted and strode towards them.
His face was beaming, and his voice was loud and clear: "Mrs. Cape, Miss Cape, congratulations."
"His Highness the Seventh Prince has met with His Majesty the King and specifically requested an imperial decree to fulfill his engagement with the Third Miss Capet. His Majesty was delighted and immediately issued an order that the wedding be held in the palace three days from now!"
