[Volume 5]: Chapter 2 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess
"No way! Amelia, you cannot go! The royal family is full of wickedness. They are worried about demons harming the church clergy. If they are concerned, let them protect themselves. Why should you deal with the demons?" She just got angrier as she spoke. Ifia felt like she was going to blow her top. The words just kept flowing out of her mouth: "Prince Carlo always looks unbeatable. Let him go and protect the clergy. It would also be a chance to uplift the reputation of the Rosalde royal family." Amelia silently watched the irate Ifia and didn't find her rant annoying at all. Instead, she felt a sweet sensation of being cared for. It made her unable to help but smile, then, she reached out and took Ifia's left hand, affectionately kissed the back of it. The tender, moist sensation made Ifia momentarily speechless. Her dark eyes widened unintentionally, then blinked, looking at Amelia in a daze, letting Amelia speak with a smile: "Feeling the care from Ifia is wonderful. It makes me feel so happy that it overflows from my chest." As she spoke, Amelia held Ifia's hand and placed it on her chest. Ifia didn't feel the overflowing happiness. Rather, it was the soft, enchanting sensation of Amelia's chest that tempted her. She couldn't help but lightly touch it, feeling like it would slip through her fingers. It really had substance. Well, she did feel the happiness this time! However, thinking that Amelia hadn't confessed herself yet, she decided to save these provocative actions for later. Ifia reluctantly withdrew her hand, pretending she hadn't done anything. Suppressing her eager thoughts made her annoyed, and she glared at Amelia. Annoying Amelia was always flirting with her! Every time, she hooked, and it was a hit. But when she flirted with Amelia, it always ended in failure. Is this the way of the world? "Don't change the subject, Amelia, you can't go! Demons are very dangerous. No matter how capable you are, there will be times when you make mistakes. What if something happens to you because of the demons? Are you going to leave me?" Anyway, those families that summon demons have nothing to do with her. Ifia didn't care if they lived or died! As Ifia realized she was worried about Amelia's safety, Amelia smiled at her and then spoke: "Ifia, no matter what the Rosalde royal family is planning, you know that I am already one of the candidates for the next king. If I stand out in this demon chaos, my position as the next king will be almost certain." Amelia's reason left Ifia helpless. Although she didn't want Amelia to take risks, unlike her who liked to lay back and be lazy, Amelia was ambitious. Simply put, she was a small sparrow stealing grain, while Amelia was a soaring eagle. Ifia couldn't prevent Amelia's future due to her worries. This made Ifia's adorable face pout, then she reluctantly raised her hand and lightly hammered Amelia's shoulder, not too forcefully, like a little kitten brandishing its claws to scare someone. Amelia found it cute. After the signal of concession from Ifia, Amelia quickly got up, then hugged Ifia warmly and affectionately kissed her cheek, feeling quite happy with every reaction Ifia had because of her. She just couldn't get enough. For the next plan, Amelia had to be present herself in order to make the situation more turbulent and to stir up trouble in the city of Darwa. However, Ifia, who was being hugged, spoke determinedly: "Since I can't dissuade you, then I will also go!" After saying this, Ifia pushed open Amelia's embrace and then placed her hand on Amelia's shoulder, earnestly meeting Amelia's purple eyes and said, "I will stand by your side when the church clergy exorcises demons!" Ifia wouldn't stay at home and worry. If she went with her, when encountering a demon, she could also help Amelia to fend it off. Since the system could save her once, it could save her a second time. Moreover, the system's task had not been completed yet, so it would not just stand by and watch her die. As Ifia pondered these thoughts, the system, which was peeking at her, couldn't help but shiver. Even the operation was paused for a moment, as if feeling the gaze of something. "Well, let's go together." Seeing the determination in Ifia's eyes, Amelia naturally wouldn't refuse, especially since those demons were just for show. “The situation is urgent. The clergy will mobilize after ten o'clock tonight, and we will go with them." "Tonight?" When Ifia heard that they would confront the demons tonight, she was puzzled and looked at Amelia. Wasn't dealing with demons supposed to be during the day? Seeing Ifia's confusion, Amelia explained, "We can't find the demons' traces during the day. Only in the evening do demons become active, so the time is set for night." "Demons are more powerful at night, right? Are the clergy able to deal with them?" "We will see. In order to ensure the success of this operation, the church has sent Saint Tiffany as the leader." Upon hearing that the church sent Saint Tiffany, Ifia immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After several encounters, Ifia knew that Saint Tiffany had true ability. So their chances of survival had increased a bit more. However, even so, she also needed to take some protective measures on her side. With a restless heart, time quickly passed. Soon, it was half past nine in the evening. When Ifia was ready, she took a carriage with Amelia and left the villa, heading towards the agreed meeting point. They arrived in just ten minutes. When the carriage stopped, Ifia lifted the curtain and saw that people had already arrived. In addition to the church clergy dressed in nun and priest attire, there were also some nobles with furrowed brows, holding glass kerosene lamps and pacing anxiously. A chill night breeze blew through, unable to cool the restless flames in their hearts, making them uncomfortable. These were people who had successfully summoned demons using magical plants. They found it easy to summon gods, but difficult to send them away. The demons they had summoned were now clinging to them...The feeling of being constantly watched by demons was very frightening. Coupled with family members being possessed by demons and behaving strangely, it scared them deeply. So, despite the danger, they had come to observe, waiting for their turn. Seeing the people outside clearly, Ifia rolled her eyes, very disapproving, and dropped the curtain, quickly stopping Amelia before she stood up, and called out to her: "Amelia, for safety, you must wear this!!"
