[Volume 5]: Chapter 9 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess
Ifia's heart skipped a beat. Previously, feeling deceived and disheartened by Amelia made her forget that within the random fragments of the plot, the wicked Amelia could catch her!!! Even in a state similar to astral projection, she could still be caught! So, she wouldn't be discovered now, right? (T~T)o Don't let this happen! Ifia uncontrollably recalled the last time she experienced an immersive plot fragment. In the original plot, after everyone arrived in the Tarek Kingdom, she followed the imprisoned protagonist couple to escape from Tarek Palace back to the ship, only to be discovered by the wicked Amelia. It was not a pleasant experience at all. Ifia, who didn't want to be caught again, tried to drift away, attempting to hide in the crowd. Unfortunately, she couldn't stray too far from the black cat Asmode, so even if she floated away, she would be brought back the next second. Just her luck! After Baron Amelia stopped, the people cheering on the sides of the street seemed puzzled, but they waved their bouquets even more fervently, causing a cascade of flower petals. As the wind blew, the petals were lifted and collided directly with Amelia. The petals landed directly on the horse's back, with more littering the ground, Under the blue sky, amidst the bustling street, surrounded by flowers, stood the beautiful woman on the black horse, exuding an imposing aura, creating a perfect picture. However, Ifia had no mind to appreciate it; she only gazed vigilantly at Amelia. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her hands clenched into fists, revealing her intense nervousness. In contrast, the black cat Asmode remained in a lazy posture, lazily sharpening his claws on the ground, and even took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Amelia standing in front of him. "Lord Ariman, you're back so soon. Did you bring me any special treats, such as the souls of the people from the Carsei Kingdom, or even just a small dessert? I, Asmode, wouldn't mind at all." The black cat gave a sly smile, a flattering demeanor, hardly resembling just a cat. And, what cat considers human souls as treats?!!! Nailed it. The black cat Asmode was also a demon. Now, it was just a camouflage. Wait a minute, Ariman? Asmode? These titles seemed so familiar! Aren't they characters from the Cult of Fire? In her previous life, Ifia was undoubtedly a mediocre student. Apart from her passion for cooking, she was impatient when it came to learning, with a blank mind whenever it involved the need to study. However, playing a single-player game, she unconsciously acquired a lot of information about the Cult of Fire as the main storyline progressed. Knowledge entered her brain in a despicable way. (,定) In the game, there were numerous plots related to the evil god Ariman! So, Baron Amelia is an alias, and Ariman is the true name of the demon? - J She actually flirted with an evil god??? As Ifia was brainstorming in confusion, Baron Amelia, who had halted and held the reins, gazed in the direction of the black cat, which inexplicably made Ifia breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed she had been overly presumptuous; the wicked Amelia was merely looking at the black cat Asmode. The last time she was discovered, it was due to a bug. Surely, it wouldn't happen again this time! Now in the midst of the street with all eyes on them, Baron Amelia naturally wouldn't abruptly speak, but simply cast a cold purple-eyed look at Asmode before lightly curling her lips. Without saying anything, she continued to ride forward with the soldiers behind her exuding a powerful aura. The cheers of the crowd continued, but the black cat Asmode didn't join the bustling crowd and disdainfully turned to look at the people, mockingly muttering to himself. "These foolish humans, they're already on the brink of death, yet they still worship the worst demon. It's ridiculous." The black cat raised its front paw and licked its tongue, then gracefully began to move forward, speaking nonstop to itself. "Really, things have gone awry, I feel that I shouldn't go!" The chatty black cat Asmode! It wouldn't stop talking along the way. This made Ifia, who followed reluctantly, speechless, as most of what Asmode said was nonsense, and even though it felt it shouldn't attend the banquet, it ultimately did. Moreover, Ifia didn't know where Asmode found a cat bell but deftly tied it around its neck. Quite a ceremonial gesture. Then, attending the banquet, going all around, allowed Ifia to hear a lot of gossip. "Goodness, did Prince Carloy really fall in love with a commoner? What about his engagement with Baroness?" "The Baroness just led the troops to win against the neighboring Carsei Kingdom. The war is far from over, yet the Roseld royal family dared to withdraw the marriage at this time—aren't they afraid that the Baroness might pick another suitor?" "Who knows, rumors are circulating that Prince Carloy is smitten with that commoner fox spirit, hence the continuous delay in marriage with the Baroness. Has Prince Carloy lost his mind?" "Speaking of which, can the Baroness, with such allure, not compare to a commoner?" Ifia knew that this world was a book. So, while listening to the discussion about the villainous heiress Baroness Amelia, she realized she was following the plotline. Later, there'd be a crucial and gratifying plot twist. Prince Carloy publicly announced the cancellation of his engagement to Baron Amelia. Then, he would marry the commoner Irene. And the vindictive heiress would be utterly incredulous and angrily question Prince Carloy... Haha, with so many novels Ifia had read, even if she tried to guess with her eyes closed, she could figure it out. However, after Ifia entered this book, various main characters encountered... especially the villainess Baroness Amelia, Ifia was extremely familiar with her. With Amelia's cold and arrogant personality, Ifia couldn't imagine her being enamored with the prince and unable to obtain him... It's just impossible! "Haha, these fools. The Roseld royal family is nothing more than Lord Ariman's puppets!" The black cat Asmode once again became noticeable. It directly jumped onto the dining table, picked and chose among the food, eating very little. It was exactly at this moment that Baron Amelia, now without her armor and wearing an exquisite and luxurious black tight-fitting gown, beautifully outlined her figure, causing anyone who saw her to blush and feel awkward. The young nobles present, whether male or female, all cast shy and admiring glances. However, Baron Amelia ignored everyone and walked straight to the table where Asmode was located. When she stopped at the table, she happened to stand right next to Ifia. However, Ifia had experienced it before and wasn't scared. She knew that this demon just wanted to find its own kind. While Ifia entertained these thoughts, Amelia suddenly turned her head, her purple eyes fixed on Ifia. "Sly little rascal, we meet again. "
