[Volume 4]: Chapter 122 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

It's time for some delightful gossip time~ This time, the subject of the gossip is Jessica's great uncle, the key figure in this juicy story. This time, without the need for Ifia's prompting, Jessica's face was so ecstatic as she eagerly started to speak. "Originally, the guards of the Lila's family were dispatched to the Karmes territory to dig for the legendary treasure. Perhaps there would be special gains, but it was most likely that nothing would be found." "But after arriving at Karmes, they discovered something far better than treasure." "After all, it was a demonic plant capable of summoning demons, something even the royal family of Rossald could not refuse. My family, especially my great uncle, was very enthusiastic about this. He sent a group of guards to search for days in the icy wilderness, but they couldn't find any clue about the demonic plant." As Jessica talked about the affairs in the Karmes territory, she glanced at Ifia, proud of her younger sister. Baron Miss is really into Ifia! They seem to enjoy playing this little romantic game, but it's been dragged on and on without any real breakthrough. Instead, they are stuck in this ambiguous state, it's really unbearable to watch. That guy Austin won't learn. He always likes to be straightforward. He's itching to drag her into bed... Ugh, such a pervert! Jessica found herself wanting to experience the joy of a courtship phase rather than immediately getting a ticket to the adult world. Darn it! After venting her frustration, Jessica redirected her attention to the present and continued, "I have to mention, Baron Miss is really amazing! While other families didn't even catch a glimpse of the demonic plant, she managed to hold an auction and directly sold ten of them. The Lila's family benefited from it and managed to purchase the demonic plants at a huge cost." "And then, just yesterday, my great uncle, the current head of the Lila's family, excitedly took the demonic plant and immediately rushed to the secret chamber to begin the summoning ceremony." At this point, Jessica couldn't help but chuckle. The real show was about to begin~ "At that time, others wanted to watch closely, but my great uncle refused, claiming that their presence might disrupt the summoning ceremony, and so he chased everyone away, leaving only himself." "When it comes to summoning a demon, the opinions within the Lila's family are divided, but most people are not in favor. After all, dealing with demons is like courting disaster. You could be killed by a demon at any time. However, my great uncle didn't care." "After spending a whole night in the secret chamber without coming out, the others couldn't sit still. They rushed in, fearing that if the summoning ceremony was disrupted, the head of the family might be harmed." It was not easy to have such a close look at the gossip, and Jessica wanted to tell it in full. Therefore, she rambled a bit, but Ifia was not bothered. She was eagerly waiting for the rest of the story. "At that time, I rushed to the front. Although I was scolded by my mother afterwards, it didn't matter. Who let me be the first to see the demon summoned by my great uncle being funny!" "The previous non-serious demon refers to the fact that it was different from the imagined demon. Most demons have a terrifying and brutal image, but the demon my great uncle summoned was polite and very gentle." "It looked like an ordinary nobleman, but it could float in the air." With a brilliant smile, Jessica finally came to the main point. "Hehe, that demon is called Belias. According to its self-introduction, it is the leader of many legions, enjoys music, and is good at mathematics." "Then, after my great uncle expressed his wish to have the demon fulfill, Belias demon took out a book called 'Superior Mathematics' and asked my great uncle to complete the math problems in it within a week." "Haha, I was the first to hear that a demon can force someone to solve math problems! If you can't solve them, the demon will threaten your life instead of granting your wish." Just thinking about the pitiful face of her great uncle made Jessica want to roll on the ground with laughter! It was because the demon, which forced people to solve problems, was not so persistent about taking lives, but rather focused on the math challenges, that Jessica's great uncle's life was temporarily secure, which made Jessica ecstatic. Otherwise, even if her great uncle wasn't good to her, she wouldn't have been so elated when the person was entangled by a demon. While Jessica was talking about the bizarre demon, Ifia couldn't help but join in the laughter. Truly eye-opening! After the two of them literally laughed until they couldn't breathe, Ifia asked with some confusion, "So, Jessica, what does your great uncle want by summoning a demon?" Regarding demons, even a three-year-old child knows not to touch them! But Jessica's great uncle summoned a demon against common sense; what kind of unattainable wish did he have? "Alas, my great uncle is just too greedy. He wants to summon a demon to help him ascend to the position of Duke." Not only was Jessica dumbfounded as she spoke, Ifia was also in the same boat. Are all these nobles who summon demons so outlandish! If merely by summoning a demon, one could attain a high position, wouldn't the Sis Empire have fallen into chaos long ago? "Hehe, that's not all. Ifia, you know, the royal family of Rossald is even more remarkable; they actually summoned a demon to deal with the Baron family." Since her contact with Austin, Jessica had a wealth of information about all kinds of gossip and news. The royal family of Rossald was a particularly important target for all families in the city of Dawa, so Jessica knew these things, even without Austin's 'leaks', since she was part of the Lila's family. It was only this foolish Ifia who was always thinking about making advances towards Amelia, and thereby overlooked the information around her. So, upon hearing about the despicable actions of the Rossald royal family, she immediately felt ticked off. No wonder, on the day she returned to the city of Dawa, Prince Carloy looked so smug when he came to take the demonic plant. It seems the royal family had already planned to play dirty tricks! However, any scheming and plotting would be useless in the face of strength! Ifia believed in Amelia's strength and was confident that their plan would fail. "Don't worry; the demon summoned by the Rossald royal family didn't attack Baron Miss. Instead, it attacked the summoner and after swallowing a servant, it didn't leave. It was said that it roamed around the palace all day and randomly caught people to eat." Jessica gave Ifia a look that said she should remain calm. When Austin told her all this, Jessica felt that maybe the demon was particularly afraid of Baron Miss. Therefore, it didn't bother with the feigned pretense and directly confronted the royal family. From this, it could be seen that the hierarchy was like this: Human<Demon<Baron Miss. In conclusion, Baron Miss stood at the top of the food chain!!!
