[Volume 4]: Chapter 104 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Hi! Ifia put down the car curtain in silence and shielded the outside scenery again, which also made Prince Carloy's annoying face disappear from view. It took quite some time to travel back and forth to the Earl of Camus's territory. Ifia had originally wanted to take Amelia around the long-unseen city of Dalva and ease the fatigue of the long carriage ride. However, it seemed that their plans fell through… Just by seeing Prince Carloy lurking at the city gate looking for someone, she knew that this guy meant trouble! Thinking about how he deceived Chulte at the auction and emptied the royal coffers of Rosalde, it wasn't difficult to guess what Prince Carloy intended to do. He was there to keep an eye on them! Ifia's pouty expression resembled a puffed-up pufferfish. Seeing this, Amelia couldn't help but laugh. She gently pinched Ifia's cheek, prompting Ifia to give her a look of accusation to stop the "assault"! Amelia always liked to pinch her cheeks, and Ifia's cheeks were almost swollen because of it! And now wasn't the time to play around. They needed to figure out how to get rid of Prince Carloy! But Ifia's attempt at a fierce glare didn't work. Frustrated, she huffed a few times, then grabbed Amelia's hands and hugged her to stop her from moving. Amelia, feeling Ifia's subtle movements, inadvertently touched her chest, where she felt something soft and doughy, like a lump of dough. Worried that she might hurt Ifia with her movements, Amelia refrained from making any sudden actions. Seeing this only boosted Ifia's arrogance, and she daringly pinched Amelia's cheek. She was going to get back at her~ "Hehe, the touch feels really nice!" Facing Ifia's smug smile, Amelia couldn't help but laugh and shake her head at Ifia's strange desire for victory! Not wanting to continue their childish antics, Amelia raised her hand to hold Ifia close and prevent her from doing anything mischievous. She then patiently explained, "Don't worry, Prince Carloy won't do anything to us. He's just waiting at the city gate to quickly complete the signing of the auction contract and avoid any delays." As for the signing of the contract, normally with the Duke of Barren present in Dalva, there would be no need for Amelia to sign. But the problem was that the Duke had followed a merchant ship to open a new route just a few days before, and it was impossible for the Rosalde royal family to find someone to sign. They had to wait for the Duke to return. It wasn't a big deal, but it was quite troublesome. But why was the royal family so impatient! They couldn't wait to get their hands on the magical plants. It was just that they didn't carry the magical plants from the auction with them. Instead, they arranged for Captain Fervan to lead the troops and secretly escort the magical plants to the Duke's main residence. Then they would distribute them to other families according to the contract. So, Prince Carloy's wait was in vain, even if he signed, he wouldn't get the magical plants right away. "It's the first time I've seen a sucker willingly give away money." Ifia was very envious of the royal family's wealth. Of course, when this money was about to transfer into Amelia's hands, her envy turned into pride and joy. Her Amelia was so capable, a master of wealth accumulation! "Since you don't want to see him, I'll make it quick and we'll go home as soon as the signing is done." Amelia gently patted Ifia's smooth black hair and knew that Ifia and Prince Carloy were not on good terms. She immediately got off the carriage after saying a few words and walked towards Prince Carloy's location. The plan was not over as long as the magical plants had not been delivered to the royal family's hands. This time, they had to turn the king's city of Sisi upside down. That would be interesting. Ifia couldn't be bothered to look at Prince Carloy's proud and arrogant face. She stayed obediently in the carriage, took out a black bracelet from her pocket. It was the special bracelet formed by the vine of misfortune in the underground ice cave in the Camus territory. During their time in Camus, the bracelet, which had been worn on her wrist, suddenly fell off without warning. If it weren't for Amelia's keen eye, Ifia might have lost it. It was strange. Ever since she put on the bracelet made from the vine of misfortune, it felt like an impossible-to-shake-off band-aid. No matter how hard Ifia tried to shake it off, the special bracelet remained firmly in place. But then, suddenly, it fell off at the designated time, catching her off guard. Amelia asked Ifia to keep the bracelet safe and promised that when they returned to Dalva, she would take the bracelet to meet the saint Tiffany, as it would have significant use. Because the vine of misfortune was indeed a magical plant, Ifia understood its importance. But did wearing this special bracelet allow her to summon a demon? Ifia turned the black bracelet around and looked for any unusual signs, but she couldn't find anything. The bracelet seemed to be made of black wood and was very rough, without even a pattern. But maybe Ifia was overthinking it. Ever since she put on the black bracelet, her inexplicable desires reduced rapidly. Now, she wasn't as restless as before and didn't feel like pouncing on Amelia on the spot. Though now it seemed ridiculous, looking back, Amelia probably found it interesting! It seemed like a special game between friends. As usual, her stubbornness was off the charts. Ifia didn't bother to examine the black bracelet any further. Instead, she slowly approached the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked outside sneakily. Why hadn't Amelia returned yet?! "Baron Amelia, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Weren't we supposed to arrive this morning? It's already afternoon!" After Amelia got off the carriage, her cold demeanor and beautiful appearance made her stand out in the crowd and easily caught the attention of Prince Carloy. As Prince Carloy approached, Amelia remained as cold and distant as always. But just because she was following the plan did not mean she would swallow her pride. Amelia glanced at Prince Carloy and then said with a smirk, "I don't remember any rule that requires a duke's daughter to inform the prince. And besides, we didn't agree on a specific time. It's all just your assumption." In fact, Amelia and Ifia's itinerary did not require them to report to anyone. It was just the royal family of Rosalde rushing over to Dalva to quickly sign the contract to avoid any delays. Seeing that Baron Amelia remained as unyielding as ever, Prince Carloy was furious, but standing next to her still stifled his anger. He quickly took out the contract. Abruptly changing the subject, he said, "Blame my impatience. Let's just sign the auction contract now!" Thinking of Ifia still waiting in the carriage, Amelia stopped taunting him. She quickly signed the auction contract. With the legally effective contract in hand, Prince Carloy was overjoyed. Now that he had the magical plants, he could summon a demon to use against the detestable Baron family!
