[Volume 4]: Chapter 77 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Amelia had just stepped onto the carriage when she immediately felt the warm gaze. Ifia's eyes sparkled, sitting at the table, resting her chin on her hands, her cute little face full of admiration, as if she wanted to give a big thumbs up directly. Although Ifia considered herself to be quick-witted, there were still people who were more astute than she was! For example, she had only thought about imposing heavy fines. However, Amelia suggested holding an auction, which was a stroke of genius. Although Ifia didn't know exactly how valuable those magical plants were, the fact that the private soldiers of two major noble families fought over them and even paid with their lives indicated that they were extremely precious. Moreover, Amelia had mentioned that magical plants were a rare resource of the Kamesh territory. So, it was easy to anticipate that the upcoming auction would be bustling and lucrative. And they would empty the wallets of those nobles!!! Ah, Amelia was so smart; Ifia really wanted to give her a big kiss. At this moment, the embarrassment of almost falling on her face was forgotten. After all, there were only the two of them in the carriage, so Ifia didn't mind. She simply flung herself at Amelia with all her heart. She raised her hand, cupped Amelia's face, and fervently kissed her on the cheek twice. While doing so, she didn't forget to say, "Amelia, you are amazing. Coming up with the idea of holding an auction will allow us to earn even more money~" Facing such enthusiasm from Ifia, Amelia smiled indulgently. She held Ifia's waist to prevent her from falling and didn't mind the 'act of indiscretion'. Although demons were temperamental, they enjoyed various forms of intimacy with their partners. Amelia found that Ifia's occasional coquettishness and kisses were never excessive. In fact, sometimes she thought Ifia was too shy. It would be great if they could cuddle and kiss anytime and anywhere! But thinking that Ifia was a tough cookie, Amelia wisely kept her thoughts to herself. Otherwise, she might end up having the opposite effect. Thankfully, Amelia understood Ifia's character and knew that when she got too excited, she couldn't control herself and would always make affectionate and coquettish moves. So, by applying the right measures, she could easily achieve her goals. In any case, this adorable girl was always under her control and couldn't escape. This time, after receiving Ifia's affection, Amelia took the opportunity to return the affection before settling Ifia back in her seat, and sitting next to her. Although she knew Ifia wouldn't pay attention to the details, as a precaution, Amelia said, "I've been busy with official duties and haven't paid much attention to Kamesh's side. So, I've been neglectful. When we're at the town, I'll have the guards issue a notice." "The small teams sent by the various families can search for the treasure, but once they obtain the magical plants, they must hand them over. Otherwise, it will be regarded as theft, and the guards of the Baron family will detain them. They will be released after paying a fine." Amelia detailed the upcoming laws to make sure Ifia understood, and she nodded eagerly. However, Ifia quickly thought of something and hastily said, "But, Amelia, if someone hides them, even if the guards patrol every day, they won't be able to find them, right?" "Don't worry, because of the special nature of the magical plants, as long as someone carrying them approaches a piece of silver ore, the silver ore will quickly turn black." "I see." Amelia's considerate thinking left Ifia with nothing more to add, and she looked forward to raking in the money later. Indeed, her best friend, Ifia, was super amazing! With this in mind, Ifia couldn't help but be smug, and her smile couldn't be contained. Seeing Ifia's reaction, Amelia smiled helplessly, then asked, "Ifia, don't you want these rare magical plants?" Amelia was curious about this question. After all, for anyone else, the natural choice would definitely be the magical plants. Just like choosing between money and eternal life, opting for the latter would allow you to make money using unlimited time. Therefore, upon learning of the rare magical plants in the Kamesh territory, the nobles of Darva City were almost breaking their necks in the competition. The Rosald royal family, who had been carefully concealing the information, were furious. "I don't want them," Ifia shook her head, giving a very honest answer. As for her reasons for saying this... "Throughout history, those who have traded with demons never had a good ending. It's better to stay grounded and not always seek shortcuts. Although Ifia didn't want to admit it, she knew she was a bit of a fool, unable to play mind games compared to others. Trying to find another way, who knows if it will lead to a cliff. It's like gambling with your heartbeat. But Ifia wasn't good at gambling. After hearing Ifia's words, Amelia's purple eyes flickered a few times. Then, she casually said, "Most demon-human transactions revolve around either a mutual agreement or the greed of the humans leading them into a dead end, unrepentant until death." "Exactly!" Ifia nodded in agreement. Although the demons were detestable, the humans who traded with them were not worthy of sympathy. Seeing Ifia didn't harbor an intense hatred for demons, Amelia's expression remained unchanged, but she quietly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject. "Thanks to your suggestion of imposing fines, I was able to come up with a solution. You truly are my lucky girl." "Really? (w)" "Of course." Seeing Ifia's easily contented and adorable appearance, Amelia couldn't help but ruffle her hair. As the carriage sped along with a large entourage of guards, their majestic arrival made even the groups of snow wolves flee with their tails between their legs, and the group soon arrived at the Kamesh town. At the entrance of the town, a large wooden sign should have been erected with the name of the town written on it. However, it was now obscured by a large group of heads making it impossible to see. Realizing the horrific sight of heads covering the sign, Amelia preemptively covered Ifia's eyes with her hand until they were completely out of sight, and only then did she release her hold. Meanwhile, the captain of the guard, Fuerman, felt that Miss Baron had been traveling for a long time and now needed a place to rest. Therefore, instead of diverting the coachman elsewhere, he directly led the way to a two-story building nearby. Since knowing that the newly appointed Baron was going to arrive, the enthusiastic Fuerman had someone prepare the accommodation in detail and decorated it meticulously. After Ifia got off the carriage and saw their future residence, she was very satisfied. As she swiftly slipped inside to see the interior decorations, Amelia, walking behind her, furrowed her brows. She silently looked ahead and saw— A strange black mist rapidly drifting towards them.
