Chapter 84 Chapter 84 I will also become the most...
Lin Miao stopped in front of the notice wall and squinted.
"Anwei, if you were me, and you received Martha's information and saw this notice, what would you choose to do first?"
This time, it was the devil's turn to be a good student who actively answered the teacher's questions.
Without thinking, he said, "Save the fourth prince of humanity."
An Wei frowned in protest, then quickly made amends, "Because Miaomiao prioritizes the greater good... Hell can't interfere in the internal affairs of the human world. Kretz only has two heirs he can use. If the eldest prince ascends to the throne, the human world will inevitably side with Heaven, which will be disadvantageous to us."
"Yes, that's what I thought." Lin Miao admitted bluntly, then changed the subject, "Then do you think the person behind this wouldn't be able to guess it?"
"So the Kingdom Prison is a trap?" An Wei reacted quickly.
"I'm afraid even the Royal Palace and the Illuminati Association, places I 'can't' go to, are traps," she whispered. "He's also very familiar with thinking against the tide."
"...Find a noble family?" An Wei suggested, and Lin Miao gave him an approving look.
"The nobles' mansions are often very well-informed," the human girl thought for a moment, then clapped her hands happily. "I know where to go."
*
The arrangements that were disrupted by a series of unexpected events unexpectedly returned to their original track.
As soon as Lin Miao and the demon sneaked into the manor of former cabinet minister Mr. Lugo, he was shocked by the dead, gloomy and quiet atmosphere in the manor.
I walked all the way into the castle, through the corridor, and almost approached the core of the main castle. I saw 0 servants and heard 0 sounds.
It is even better than Capet Manor.
Lin Miao turned around and looked at An Wei for a moment. She saw her solemn expression in his dark and clear pupils.
...With Mrs. Capet's caution and calculation, after taking control of her father's body, she should have maintained normality and pretended nothing had happened.
Lugo likes luxury and often has guests visiting him. If something happens to his house, wouldn't it be easier to find out?
unless……
She quickened her pace.
Lugo's mansion was also protected by a light magic circle. The demons did not dare to use magic to scan a large area for fear of alerting the enemy. Fortunately, the layouts of the nobles' castles were mostly similar, and Lin Miao easily found the male owner's bedroom in the main castle.
To be on the safe side, she asked An Wei to strengthen her invisibility spell, opened the panel in her mind, and then slowly approached the door.
Silently reciting the incantation, Lin Miao used the three-headed dog's magic power to communicate with its five senses. His hearing sensitivity was significantly improved, and he could clearly catch the movements in the room.
A sharp, piercing, angry and cold female voice.
She was saying, "Father, I've come to see you."
Lin Miao: “…”
Oh no.
Should I say she's lucky or unlucky? Pick any time and you'll run into a lively confrontation in the melon field.
Well, it may turn into a Western horror murder night in a while.
The female voice, or Thetis Capet, was not discouraged by the lack of response from the other.
She continued slowly, "Father, I know you must be very happy."
"After all, you've spent your entire life pursuing power and a higher position, wanting the Lugo family to continue its glory in your hands... Whether it's marrying my mother or giving birth to me... you wanted a boy so that the Lugo family would have a successor, right?"
Lin Miao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he suddenly had a strong premonition about what Titis would say next.
She seemed to have caught a glimpse of a non-conventional process from this monotonous and unoriginal beginning.
"But it's not the mother's fault that you can't give birth to a boy."
"So my father had no choice but to train me... and placed his hopes on me—my husband. After I was diagnosed with a dark talent, to avoid bringing shame to our family, you bribed the person who conducted the test to alter the results, forbidding me to practice dark magic and become a 'normal person.'"
"You look down on me because I'm your daughter, and you're disgusted that I've awakened a talent that's not even worth mentioning. Yet you're trying to hide it and pave the way for me. Are you actually resentful of me?"
"What a pity! I am very grateful to my father. If it weren't for his position as a cabinet minister and his determination to make me a mediator between the old and new nobles..."
Tittis paused, her tone suddenly tinged with the shyness of a young girl in love. "Even if I had been successfully diagnosed with a Light Talent at seventeen, I couldn't have married Koros Capet and become the owner of Capet Manor."
She emphasized the four words "Cape Manor", as if what she loved deeply was not the Duke himself, but the house that the king gave to Cross after the victory of the battle in the north.
"And now, father. I, Thetis Lugo, and the Capetian family, not only rescued the eldest prince, but also helped him launch a coup, killing the king and imprisoning the fourth prince.
"—In a few days, when His Highness is officially crowned king, no noble family in the royal city will be able to rival Capet, and I will become the most powerful woman in the entire kingdom."
"Father," Thetis's voice became sweet and soft, "What you pursued, what you worked so hard for your whole life, your daughter has easily achieved."
"You... must be very happy."
From Thetis's confession, it was confirmed that it was she and the Capet family who were working on earth on behalf of Heaven and helping the eldest prince seize the throne. Lin Miao should have found it difficult and remained suspicious, but her mind unconsciously drew her to imagine the scene inside the house.
Sarcastic, with black hair and black clothes, and her eyes always hiding calculation and scrutiny, Mrs. Capet's first impression on her was no different from that of a vicious witch in a fairy tale.
However, when she stood there and said to her father who was completely controlled by her, "I will become the most powerful woman in the whole kingdom" and "I can do it easily", Lin Miao could not equate her with the noble woman who could ignore her daughter and sell her daughter's life for her own benefit.
She was probably still wearing the black dress that covered her body tightly, and the expression on her face was probably still arrogant. Even if she smiled, it was a fake and sarcastic smile, with no one in her eyes.
Perhaps Thetis was facing the "father" who would be killed by her own hands; perhaps she didn't even look at him, and was just pouring out the words that had been in her heart for many years. Anyway, she just needed an audience, an audience that she could not control and could keep "absolutely confidential."
The winner in a game relationship always disdains to cover the loser's mouth, perhaps because the groan of the loser before death can be used as a tool to cheer up the winner.
So Lin Miao still heard Master Lugo's voice. Although it was filled with terror, fear, and hatred masked by fear, he still shouted at the top of his lungs:
"You—are not my daughter at all!"
"Oh?" The sweetness in Titish's voice was gone, and it became cold, almost cruel. "Why do you say that, father?"
The old man's voice rose in a breathless voice: "I... asked the people in the association! It's impossible for a person to awaken two talents at the same time!"
Titish smiled. "Father, has the puppetry damaged your brain? Since you can bribe the inspector, why can't I?"
"...You are not Titis Lugo, no, no no no no no..." Lugo repeated desperately. Lin Miao could even imagine the scene of him struggling and shaking his head.
"Then who am I?"
"You are a devil!!" Lugo suddenly exploded.
"...After marrying Capet, you are a devil!"
Lin Miao heard the gulping sound of saliva being swallowed with difficulty. The old man's vocal cords seemed to be torn and kept vibrating, and he uttered unbelievable words, "Titis... has brown hair... and green eyes..."
"Haven't I already explained this to my father?" Tittis said lightly, "Marrying into the Capet family means I have to learn some dark arts to support myself." "I was born with a different physique than the average person, so it's normal for my hair and eye color to change."
lie.
Lin Miao said secretly.
Hair and eye color may indeed change slightly due to magic or spiritual power, but no matter how high the favor value or magic power is, it will not cause a human to change from brown hair and green eyes to black hair and black eyes.
It is possible that he is the Demon King's follower.
...if the Demon King himself isn't here.
She already had the answer in her mind. Considering that all three of Thetis' children had black hair and black eyes, this almost impossible genetic probability had a reasonable explanation.
The room was still filled with Lugo's intermittent accusations and pleas for mercy, as well as Titis's cat-and-mouse-like venting and teasing. Lin Miao listened patiently for a while, and after making sure that no other useful information could be obtained, he winked at An Wei.
The man and the demon cooperated tacitly. Lin Miao pushed open the door, and the three-headed dog's magic power poured out and its domain spread out, covering Lugo's room tightly.
Seeing this, Titis immediately took out something from her waist and was about to crush it, but unfortunately Lin Miao was faster. Thorns instantly grew out of the floor and bound her limbs, mouth and nose, and the thing was knocked aside.
An Wei raised his hand, and the woman in the black dress and Lugo on the bed were forced to fall asleep.
Alas, the skills Ziler had forced upon her weren't as useful as her own innate abilities. Lin Miao thought with regret, not only were there limits on how many times she could use them, but even her poison skills had been cut.
She walked over to Titish and picked up the object that had fallen to the ground.
"Telepathic Stone." An Wei took a look. "It's a tool from the Illuminati Association. They can be used in pairs. Crushing one stone can transmit a warning to the holder of the other stone."
"Tsk, it turns out they're collaborating with the Bright Association." Lin Miao understood, then frowned. "At first I thought it was mainly the Bright Association that was involved, but I didn't expect it was Tittis who was leading it."
She paced as she gathered her thoughts. "Let's not talk about why He chose Titis for now. Klopp, who couldn't give orders directly to the Illuminati Association and had a good relationship with Titis, was killed. How did she get in touch with the Association? Who could be on the other side of this stone?"
"There's another person."
An Wei said suddenly.
"……What?"
"There's another person," the three-headed dog repeated, "who can do it."
