[Volume 5]: Chapter 3 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Amelia looked at the silver cross forcibly handed to her. Illuminated by the kerosene lamp on the carriage's low table, the smooth cross shone brightly. It could be seen that Ifia had indeed put her heart into it. Although the makeshift cross was a bit rough, the polishing had been very careful. At this moment, facing the 'artifact' that was said to make vampires and demons retreat, Amelia was somewhat helpless. A few hints of helplessness appeared in her purple eyes. It seemed that only Ifia, this little fool, believed in such things. It's just a simple decoration. Do you really think it can stop the demons? "Amelia, you must keep it safe. Then, the demons will not dare to attack you." Unlike Amelia's helplessness, Ifia cherished the cross very much. She carefully tucked the cross into the inner pocket of her dress and then raised her hand in satisfaction. If there wasn't such a rush, Ifia would have made some peach wood swords and talismans for Amelia. If one doesn't work, just add another. Quantity wins! Ifia even wanted to make a clay figurine of a deity herself and then pull Amelia to bow to it. Emphasizing the combination of things. "Yeah, let's go down quickly. They must be anxious to wait." Amelia didn't say much, imitating Ifia to tuck away the cross and then quickly turned and got off the carriage, fearing that Ifia might take out some strange things again. She wasn't afraid of demons, just afraid of Ifia's whims. When Amelia and Ifia got off the carriage, the church officials and nobles had already gathered. It was nearly ten o'clock, and they were anxious to make them wait. "Why isn't Baroness Amelia here?" "The Baron family is really arrogant. This is a matter of the safety of Darva City, and they are late. They truly do not care about the safety of the city's people." "You're wrong. Why is Darva City in danger? It's all because of the summoning of demons, right? Although I am also very worried about whether the demons can be driven away, we cannot blame the Baron family without a clear conscience." "How is it unrelated to the Baron family? Baroness Amelia held a magical plant auction in Kames. If it wasn't for this auction, how could the demons have been summoned!" Because of the darkness, even if torches were lit, they could not illuminate the surroundings clearly. Therefore, the nobles cursed but did not notice that the mentioned people had already arrived. In the face of everyone's accusation, Amelia remained calm as usual, her expression unchanged. She completely disregarded these lowly humans, treating them as a group of pests. As long as the initial plan went smoothly, these people would all meet a bitter end in the end. However, compared to Amelia's disdain, Ifia was about to explode with anger. These bastards!!! They don't do what they should, and they are the number one to shift blame! If it weren't for the crowd here accusing Amelia, the exorcism could have begun long ago. Their waiting was just because of fear of the demons and the desire for Amelia to be their free bodyguard! Feeling Ifia's anger, Amelia found it amusing. She reached out to hold her to make the little one less distressed and secretly said to her, "Ifia, don't be angry. Coming here to guard today is just following orders. The next time, we will demand payment." "!" At the mention of payment, Ifia immediately perked up. When she looked at Amelia, her black eyes sparkled like a money-grubbing cat seeing money. (Kawaii.) Her adorable appearance made Amelia unable to help but ruffle Ifia's head. If the scene allowed, she would have hugged Ifia and cuddled her. Hmm... Before mending Ifia's soul, she had promised to confess her feelings to Ifia on her own initiative. After returning tonight, she could start preparing. After all, if this continued, the little one would end up biting someone. Regarding her demon identity. Now, Darva City was in chaos because of the demons, so Amelia thought for a moment and temporarily put aside the idea of revealing her true identity, waiting for some time. Although it seemed that Ifia was eager to define their relationship when she took the initiative to confess, Amelia was also happy to break the last barrier. There had been several occasions when Amelia felt that the truth between them would come out, only to be missed because of Ifia's stubbornness. Therefore, this time, she enforced Ifia's 'initiative', and their subsequent development went very smoothly. "Hmph, since you put it that way, I will forgive them once." These nobles must repent with money!!! Thinking of how the nobles would soon lose a large sum of money, Ifia's cloudy expression immediately cleared, and she walked toward the crowd with a smile on her face. When the two of them walked into the torchlight, the noisy voices immediately quieted down. If Baroness Amelia wasn't there, they could say whatever they wanted. But now that they had arrived, they had to shut up. Otherwise, if they encountered demons later, and the church proved to be ineffective, they would ultimately have to rely on Baroness Amelia to turn the tide. Despite the nobles' resentment toward Baroness Amelia, they admired her strength. Once the nobles quieted down, the church officials also breathed a sigh of relief. Without waiting for the nobles to flatter Baroness Amelia, they quickly announced the departure. The person issuing the departure order was someone familiar. It was Taromati. In addition, there was Saint Tiffany, blindfolded with a dark green ribbon! Ifia secretly looked at Taromati. She had seen the saint looking glum during the day, and she thought something had happened between them. But now, seeing Taromati's cheerful appearance, she realized she might have been wrong. Thinking so, Ifia couldn't help but sneak another glance, and she accidentally knocked over a nearby vinegar jar. Amelia raised her hand to turn Ifia's head back, her purple eyes, like a bewitching and horrifying sight under the moonlight, staring at Ifia without blinking, making Ifia feel a little dizzy. "Focus on the road." "Oh." Upon Amelia's half-smiling admonition, Ifia obediently agreed, no longer curious, and walked obediently by Amelia's side into the grand mansion ahead. This time, it was to exorcise Count Dule. It was said that the demon Count Dule had summoned using a magical plant was a gluttonous creature. It not only devoured all kinds of food but even glass and gravel.
