[Volume 4]: Chapter 87 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

In the midst of Ifia's laughter at the play, Qiu'er Te's forced expression of "adoration" did not last long. Perhaps it was the aloof attitude still displayed by Amelia that made him unable to continue speaking hypocritically. Without too much polite small talk, the purpose of this visit quickly became apparent. "Miss Baron, I believe you already know the significance of the magical plants in the Karmes territory, but due to their rarity, they are challenging to find... Prince Carloy is very curious about the magical plants and has ordered to bring back one." Upon hearing this, Ifia couldn't help but roll her eyes. It was also a stroke of bad luck for Prince Carloy's subordinate. When others might be taken advantage of, when it was his turn, it suddenly became a ploy for his son. Amelia had already told her about the reasons for the Rosilde royal family's interest in the Karmes territory, so Ifia was well aware that Qiu'er Te's visit was not recent, but rather a secret mission to find the magical plants. However, it seemed they were very unlucky as they didn't find any magical plants when they arrived early. Instead, just two or three days after their arrival, they discovered such a large magical plant. In comparison, the royal family's luck was truly terrible! However, they could be as unlucky as they wanted, but why did they also want to involve Amelia? Listening to Qiu'er Te's remarks just now about Prince Carloy's curiosity about the magical plants as a reason to order them, there was a high probability that he wanted to make use of Amelia for free labor. For example, to suppress her under the pretext of the ruler and subordinate relationship and hand over the magical plants or to divulge specific information about the magical plants. Whichever it was, it was infuriating. They hadn't owed them anything. Not only was the Rosilde royal family shameless, but even their subordinates were the same. Blood was thicker than water, after all. However, the two groups they encountered on their way were fighting to the death to obtain the magical plant, so Amelia immediately proposed a charity auction to be held, where the magical plants would be sold through competitive bidding. Although it was not yet certain when the auction would take place, did Qiu'er Te not inquire about the auction before arriving? Did he just show up like this? Or did they shamelessly plan to directly reach out and demand without spending a penny? While Ifia was silently criticizing in her heart, Qiu'er Te did not pay attention to the beautiful commoner girl, but instead, focused intently on observing Baron Amelia, who was sitting across from them. Even when he mentioned Prince Carloy, Baron Amelia remained indifferent, calm, and relaxed, making it impossible to decipher her thoughts from her half-closed eyes. Although Qiu'er Te didn't like Baron Amelia, he had to admit that she was more composed than her peers. Moreover, her aura was not weak. She didn't seem like an ordinary noble's daughter. However, considering how much wealth the Baron inherited from the maritime trade routes, their successor was definitely not comparable to an ordinary noble's daughter. Frankly, even a pig could soar directly. But compared to the legitimate royal family heir, it still wasn't enough! Thinking about the deep reserves of the Rosilde royal family, Qiu'er Te's flame, momentarily suppressed by Baron Amelia, quickly rekindled. Then he continued with a poker face, "With the friendly relationship between the royal family and the Baron family, I believe Miss Baron will extend a helping hand to assist Prince Carloy in fulfilling his long-cherished wish. If you can find the magical plant, I believe His Royal Highness the Prince will provide a very generous reward." Ifia's speculation turned out to be true. It infuriated her to the point that she could no longer stand idly by. After enduring it for a while, she couldn't help but speak. "Hehe, as long as you can help find the magical plant, I will offer double the reward that Prince Carloy gives." Ifia sat up straight, speaking with a sinister air. This caused Qiu'er Te's smile to quickly fade, as he turned to glare at Ifia, extremely displeased with this commoner's sudden interruption. Originally, the indifferent Baron Amelia, upon hearing these words, suddenly raised her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth turned up, her beautiful purple eyes carrying a warmer smile as she looked at Ifia. Although she didn't speak, as long as her eyes weren't blind, it was clear that Baron Amelia valued the commoner girl beside her. Just as Qiu'er Te was about to reprimand this lowly commoner, Baron Amelia suddenly spoke up, "Ifia, double the reward is too stingy, it should be at least ten times." Amelia had not intended to engage with these people, but after seeing the little one standing up for her, she felt a wave of pleasure and was very fond of Ifia's defense. This slightly restrained her anger. Upon hearing Amelia's words, Ifia couldn't help but smile even more brightly. With the support of the incredibly wealthy Baron Amelia, she, Ifia, feared nothing! "I am talking to Miss Baron. A mere commoner dares to interrupt our conversation!" "Although I am just a commoner, I am currently the assistant to Baron Amelia and naturally have the right to express my opinion, even in front of Qiu'er Te and the others." Even in the presence of Qiu'er Te and the others, Ifia still spoke with immense pride and arrogance. But compared with a simple verbal confrontation, she now preferred to strike directly. Looked down on Amelia, then let him witness it with his own eyes. How much could Amelia, who he desperately sought for the magical plant, produce! It would also make the Rosilde royal family bleed heavily. Thinking about this, Ifia's eyes quickly lit up with a cunning glint. She immediately looked at Amelia, and their long-standing tacit understanding made Amelia immediately understand Ifia's plan. This surprised Amelia; she thought Ifia would first mock and then have the girl thrown out. However, considering the adorable, avaricious appearance of the little girl, it wasn't difficult to understand. Fortunately, she had intended to let the girl take the magical plant with her. After all, making the greedy Rosilde royal family trade with the demons was the most important part of the plan. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left any survivors just now. Although Amelia believed that money didn't need to be of concern, as once she took over the Sis Empire, all the money would belong to Ifia. In Amelia's mind, money was just a string of numbers. Hence, without waiting for the angry Qiu'er Te to speak, Amelia took the initiative to propose, "Since Prince Carloy wants to obtain the magical plant, we will await the Karmes auction in two days, where you can bid with gold coins!" It was already very accommodating to meet with Qiu'er Te and the others. Amelia was not willing to waste time on these people.
