[Volume 4]: Chapter 105 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Carloy Prince couldn't hide his excitement as he looked at the signed auction contract. The royal family of Rosalde had been searching for the magical plant for several years, and it was finally within their grasp! Especially with the Baron family gaining more and more power and the inability of the Rosalde royal family to continue to suppress them, it was like a heaven-sent blessing. The Baron family was like a ferocious dog, ready to attack at any moment, waiting for an opportunity to overthrow and bite the owner. Although the best solution was to eliminate the ferocious dog, the royal family's current ability simply couldn't achieve it. Therefore, the Rosalde royal family chose to endure. They couldn't directly eliminate the Baron family, as it would surely lead to severe backlash unless they could deliver a fatal blow. Otherwise, they couldn't act rashly, and even their words had to be cautious. Previously, the situation wasn't so serious, so Prince Carloy could ignore it. Even if he exchanged unpleasant words with Baron Amelia, there wouldn't be much of a problem. Because he was the esteemed heir of the royal family, and other candidates were not worth mentioning. But things were different now. With Baron Amelia stepping up as a candidate for the next ruler, the ambitions of the Baron family had been exposed. The two became rivals and were bound to have a life-and-death struggle. Due to Baron Amelia's many advantages, Prince Carloy wouldn't provoke her, and the most important thing now was to take the magical plant back. They even attempted to summon demons. No matter how formidable Baron Amelia was, she wouldn't stand a chance against the demons. The urgent signing of the auction contract was also due to the other families reaping bountiful rewards in the Kamis territory, with the Rosalde royal family coming up empty-handed. This was unacceptable. The royal family needed to lead and be at the forefront, no matter the cost! Therefore, even if acquiring the magical plant cost 85 million gold coins, the royal family had to buy it, even if it meant emptying half of their savings. However, once the Baron family was eliminated, they would gain wealth several times over. Prince Carloy firmly believed that, as the legitimate heir of the royal family, he could trample Baron Amelia under his feet. So, after signing the contract, Prince Carloy didn't leave immediately. The "magical plant" they had acquired was still in Baron Amelia's hands. He intended to take it back with him to avoid any unexpected developments. "Baron Amelia, since we've already signed the contract, why not just hand over the magical plant to me now, and there won't be a need to trouble yourself with another delivery," said Prince Carloy with a fake smile, closely watching Baron Amelia with a hint of nervousness. As he thought about the imminent acquisition of the magical plant, he was so excited that he almost reached out to grab it. However, despite the tension, Baron Amelia looked at Prince Carloy with a smirk, which made him instinctively furrow his brows. What did Baron Amelia want to do? Was she trying to deceive him? "The magical plant is still on its way, Your Highness. Please be patient a little longer!" What a calculating and ugly human being! In the past, Baron Amelia wouldn't have minded adding insult to injury and making Prince Carloy's heart even more wicked, thus allowing his soul to be tainted with malice, which would be more in line with the demon's taste. However, she wasn't in the mood for games now, as Ifia was waiting for her in the carriage. The thought of Ifia secretly peeking out from the carriage with an adorable appearance made her feel content, and she couldn't be bothered with Prince Carloy. After speaking, she immediately turned and left. Prince Carloy, however, wasn't willing to let Baron Amelia leave so easily. As he attempted to take a few steps forward to stop her, the burly guards of the Baron family who had been lying in wait emerged, blocking him and leaving Prince Carloy to watch helplessly as Baron Amelia elegantly boarded the carriage and left. Her disdainful attitude and indifferent posture left Prince Carloy grinding his teeth, silently chanting Baron Amelia's name. Eventually, she would regret it! "Amelia, what did you just say? I saw Prince Carloy's face turning black with rage!" Once Baron Amelia had boarded the carriage, the coachman immediately steered the vehicle towards their villa located at the Pris Academy, with Ifia clinging to her like a piece of gum. Her curious black eyes glittered. Because she was unhappy with Prince Carloy, seeing him bothered made Ifia happy! Baron Amelia enjoyed Ifia's closeness, but on the surface, she remained composed. She looked at Ifia, who was full of expectancy, and couldn't help but smile as she reached out to ruffle Ifia's hair. Ifia's black hair was smooth and soft, much like the touch of a plush toy, making one want to embrace this adorable life-size doll. As Ifia lay her head on Baron Amelia's arm without hesitation, attentively watching her, Baron Amelia smiled and, without building suspense, said, "It was nothing. Prince Carloy wanted the magical plant, and I refused." Baron Amelia didn't want to dwell on it any further. "Just that? Tell me more, Amelia!" Seeing that Ifia was reluctant to let the topic go, Baron Amelia raised an eyebrow, her purple eyes turning dark. She effortlessly subdued Ifia's struggling by hugging her and, with a smile, held her close. Leaning in, she whispered to Ifia, "People like him are not worth mentioning. Why don't we talk about what you want?" "We earned quite a bit from the auction, all thanks to you, Ifia. So, anything available in Dalvar City is yours to choose from." Baron Amelia's words indeed redirected Ifia's attention. Compelled by the desire to acquire, Ifia felt delighted. Though she had plenty of gold coins, it held a different meaning when Baron Amelia mentioned it, like receiving a gift from a dear friend. Not knowing why it held a different significance, perhaps it was because a gift from a dear friend brought more joy! "I have enough dresses and jewelry, so I don't need more. But I would like various exotic ingredients that aren't readily available in the market." Rather than dwell further, Ifia began contemplating what she wanted to buy, murmuring to herself. As Ifia quieted down, Baron Amelia gently caressed her long hair, her purple eyes showing a tinge of contemplation. Now that she had gathered three special materials, it was time to prioritize restoring the fragmented soul. So, she would head to the Saint Tiffany's villa today.
