[Volume 4]: Chapter 123 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Despite the fact that the evil wish the Rossald royal family intended to fulfill by summoning demons was not accomplished, Ifia still felt a lingering anger. Even though Amelia could handle the demons, she was still human. If she were to get hurt by the demons, it would be disastrous! The Rossald royal family is truly deceitful! Thinking of this, Ifia regretted not agreeing with Saint Tiffany earlier. If she stayed at the church, Amelia would naturally be accompanied by the church clergy's protection, and the demons would not dare to appear easily. I wonder if I can still have the gall to go back to the church to stay? o(T~T) "Ifia! Ifia!" As Ifia was lost in serious thought, Jessica noticed her distraction and immediately raised her hand in front of Ifia's face, calling her name in her ear to bring her back to reality. Had Jessica known that Ifia would react so strongly, she wouldn't have mentioned the Rossald royal family's summoning of demons. She wouldn't have startled Ifia. "Jessica, I'm fine." When Ifia came to her senses, she saw Jessica wearing a worried expression, which prompted her to speak up quickly. After seeing Jessica relax, she continued, "I'm just so angry. The royal family is really unbearable. They always find ways to bully Amelia." As she spoke, Ifia burned with rage, wishing to knock Prince Carloy out with a bag of sandbags. But Jessica, seeing her infuriated comrade and a pitiful look on Amelia's face, scratched her head in puzzlement, feeling strange. Was Baron Miss Balen really pitiful, someone even demons wouldn't dare to provoke? She finally understood the saying, "The lover's eyes see the beloved as perfect." "In fact, the behavior of the Rossald royal family is expected. After all, there was a previous relationship with the Balen family through a marriage alliance. Even if the king is wary of the Duke of Balen, they are still tied to the same boat." "But Baron Miss Balen has already broken off the engagement with Prince Carloy, and their relationship with the royal family has also been severed." "Especially after Baron Miss Balen became a candidate for the next queen, she became a thorn in the side of the Rossald royal family, wishing to eliminate her immediately." Jessica had been listening to her father and uncles discuss this at home every day, and met with Austin, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, to discuss politics, so her words were authoritative, causing Ifia to nod repeatedly. Jessica was not wrong. Amelia had also mentioned that the royal family was about to take action. What was unexpected was that the royal family would resort to summoning demons to achieve their goals. "The Rossald royal family is truly hypocritical. They have summoned demons to hurt Amelia, and now they are hypocritically issuing an urgent summons, letting Amelia rush to the palace for a discussion." Just the thought made Ifia's fists clenched. She even thought to herself, why didn't the demons pack up the Rossald royal family and take them away! However, after Ifia's anger subsided, she quickly became worried once again. She hadn't thought much of the situation when they were in Camus, but now, hearing Jessica's words, auctioning off magical plants didn't seem like a good idea. It might even lead to unrest in the Sisi Empire! What if the current King really had an accident, and there was no result for the next queen candidate? Would the Sisi Empire fall into internal turmoil and chaos? As Ifia thought more about it, she realized that in this world full of special creatures, the human kingdoms were very vulnerable, like a thin piece of paper that could easily be torn apart. So, before Jessica could agree and blame the royal family, Ifia quickly spoke up, "Jessica, I suddenly feel so anxious. At first, when we auctioned off the magical plants, I just wanted to make more money, but I never thought that using the magical plants to summon demons would be so serious!" "Don't worry, Ifia, it's just a few families who summoned demons and suffered backlash. The situation hasn't developed into something very serious. It's just that the Rossald royal family is too timid, so they exaggerated the situation and made a fuss." Although Lucy was the best in her studies among Ifia's companions, the most astute person was Jessica. She quickly discerned the reason behind Ifia's fear. So, after pinpointing the critical problem, she quickly reassured Ifia. By listening to Ifia's concerns, Jessica couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling that Ifia was overthinking. Just because a few demons were summoned, did that mean the downfall of the Sisi Empire? Perhaps it was because Jessica's uncle had summoned demons and was forced to do math problems, which made Jessica, who had previously been terrified of demons, not find them so terrifying. Therefore, she didn't pay much attention to it and thought the situation was manageable. "Alright, alright, don't worry so much. We are just ordinary people in the Sisi Empire. What's the use of worrying so much? Even if the sky falls, there will always be tall people holding it up. It's not a big deal." To prevent Ifia from continuing to overthink, Jessica decided to change the subject and, with a slightly lecherous smile, said, "Speaking of which, have you confessed your feelings to Baron Miss Balen? It has been several days already, shouldn't there be any progress?" Facing Jessica's slightly incredulous expression, Ifia speechlessly twitched the corner of her mouth, suddenly remembering the moment she failed at breakfast and got kissed against her will by Amelia who still refused to confess then and there. Originally, after the ceremony hosted by Saint Tiffany, the matter should have had a conclusion. But she hadn't expected the commotion caused by the summoning of demons to be so intense, which led to her not seeing Amelia to this day... Under these circumstances, confessing would be useless!!! "Hmph, if anyone is to confess, it's going to be Amelia, I won't be the first one to do it!" Deliberately ignoring the fact that she always failed to flirt. Ifia replied, diverting the topic. A few days ago, her thoughts had been exposed by her friends, and she had admitted it without concealing anything. Ha, once Amelia confesses, she will indulge in public displays of affection! (@><)9 "Ifia, you're always so stubborn! Baron Miss Balen is such an outstanding person. If you don't grasp the opportunity tightly, someone else might snatch her away!" Jessica's greatest dissatisfaction with Austin was his rich romantic history, compared to her, a complete romantic novice. The unequal experiences between them inevitably led to a sense of insecurity. So she wanted to remind Ifia to be careful. However, Jessica failed to scare Ifia; instead, she proudly retorted, "I'm not afraid. I'm the only one who can get close to Amelia. No one else even has the qualification to get close." Although Ifia felt like saying, "Amelia's first love was me," such a statement made her feel a bit shy. As for someone with the same blank emotional experience as Ifia, she hadn't seen any activity or had any experience! In the previous life, the internet was developed, and there were various books to refer to. Ifia felt like she was standing on the shoulders of giants, definitely better than the innocent Amelia. When their relationship was established, she would provide special guidance from the top. Thinking about how she had teased Amelia, Ifia's heart was burning, and the sweet smile on her lips carried a hint of smugness, leaving Jessica speechless as she thought to herself that Ifia was still here! Behave and stop indulging in those colorful fantasies! However, before Jessica could snap Ifia back to attention, she felt a terrifying gaze fall upon her. Gathering her courage, she turned around to see Baron Miss Balen, covered in a dusty black cloak, hurrying back.
