A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 24

[Vol. 3] Chapter 24: Draw Your Sword!

“Princess Sissi has made it so obvious, she must have a new target!”

“Is it that foreigner named Amelia Barlen!”

“Surprisingly caught Princess Sissi’s attention, the poor Darina is nowhere to be found.”

The palace maids chattered away, and the more Ifia listened, the angrier she became.

She knew it!

That Princess Sissi, with her obvious animosity towards her, combined with her special treatment of Amelia, was clearly trying to make advances on her territory!

Now, listening to the maids’ discussions, it was confirmed that Princess Sissi indeed had an interest in Amelia.

She used to think Princess Sissi was quite good. After all, her actions in public, not giving face to Prince Carloy, were satisfying. But now, with her eyeing Amelia, that’s a different story.

Draw your sword!

She won’t let Amelia be taken away without a fight!

However, talking about Princess Sissi’s romantic history and how it involves a disappearing ex-girlfriend? That’s a bit strange. Let’s listen more.

“Speaking of Darina, it’s indeed been a long time since we’ve seen her. Did she leave the palace because of a broken heart?”

“Impossible. Darina was selected as a civilian expert to become a guard, enjoying a generous salary and noble status. Even if she broke up with Princess Sissi, she wouldn’t return to her hometown to live an ordinary life.”

“Moreover, Darina is quite stubborn. She wouldn’t easily give up on Princess Sissi. I overheard her drinking with other guards, confidently stating that she would definitely reconcile with Princess Sissi.”

“But now, where has Darina gone? She couldn’t have gone missing!”

It’s clear that the palace maids are familiar with Darina, and from their conversation, the truth is revealed.

Darina is actually a guard in the palace!

Upon hearing the word “missing,” Ifia couldn’t help but recall fragments of the plot, experiencing an immersive horror escape room, making the memories vivid. Especially since the location of the plot fragments was in Taric Kingdom… She initially thought the palace was safe and had nothing to worry about. But now…

Ah, she wouldn’t have run straight to the villain’s lair, would she?

“Who knows? Several people disappear from the palace every month. Don’t delve too deep. Otherwise, we’ll be the unlucky ones.”

“Sunglin, I’m timid, don’t scare me!”

“Well, I plan to save some money and leave the palace when I come of age. Even if I go back to my hometown to farm, it would be much better than living in constant fear.”

“Yeah, those people in the royal family are a bunch of weirdos. I can’t stand it anymore.”

While Ifia was worrying about the plot fragments, the maids’ conversation had already shifted. This brought Ifia back to reality, feeling frustrated, and eager to steer the conversation back.

As the saying goes, “Know thyself, know thy enemy, a hundred battles, a hundred victories!”

She needed to be prepared in advance!

“We consider ourselves leisurely, but those servants who serve the royal family members are the ones who are truly miserable. They pale their faces all day, and you can’t see any trace of their former lively selves.”

“My sister, Shanalin, was sent to take care of the Ninth Prince some time ago, and we haven’t seen her since. It’s really worrying.”

“The Ninth Prince, who is a full sibling of Princess Sissi? He’s just a ten-year-old child, what’s so difficult to take care of?”

“Exactly, that’s why I’m worried. I don’t know what happened to Shana Lin.”

Next, the maids continued their complaints and murmurs, which began to sound a bit boring to Ifia. Without any news about her enemy, Princess Sisi, even the gossip became uninteresting!

However, just as Ifia was about to leave the window and head towards the welcoming embrace of the soft bed, the maids knew how to keep one’s interest piqued. They started talking about something intriguing again.

“Actually, one time, I returned late due to business, and I encountered something really scary.”

“What is it? Don’t keep us in suspense, tell us!”

“I was standing outside the Ninth Prince’s palace and heard horrifying screams from inside. I wanted to go in and see what was happening, but before I could lift my foot, I saw a woman running out with disheveled hair. In the lantern light, she seemed to be covered in blood.”

“At that moment, I was so scared that I closed my eyes and dared not move. I held my breath, and when I opened my eyes again, the woman was gone… Until now, I still don’t know if it was my hallucination or a real incident.”

The topic gradually shifted towards horror stories, causing exclamations from the maids. Inside the room, Ifia had a poker face, raised her hand to pat her arms covered in goosebumps, and while the maids were saying it couldn’t be true, she felt it was very likely!

She had been suspicious from the start that the secret chamber holding Prince Carloy in the plot fragment was in the underground of the palace. Now, with various signs indicating that she was right, if the imprisonment of Prince Carloy was orchestrated by the Taric royal family, and the guards mentioning wanting to taste the blood of foreigners…

Damn, the Taric royal family was clearly a deep and unfathomable pit!

Thinking of this, Ifia shivered, her hair almost standing on end. Although it was just a foreign tour, she felt extremely dangerous now! She wished she could take Amelia and the others and quickly return home with the fleet overnight!

“Stop talking about these scary things. Why not chat about Princess Sissi’s rich romantic history? We’re all women, and Princess Sissi is really impressive. If she were interested in me, I would definitely yield to her.”

“Forget it. Princess Sissi only associates with strong individuals. Each of her relationships has been like that. Us ordinary women should just wash up and go to sleep. Everything is possible in dreams.”

“Weren’t all of Princess Sissi’s exes strong individuals? Didn’t she have a relationship with a shepherd girl before?”

“That shepherd girl was a member of the anti-royal organization Tissa. She ended up falling madly in love with Princess Sissi and betrayed the organization.”

“Oh, really…”

“But after Princess Sissi got tired of her, she sent her straight to prison.”

Listening to the maids recounting Princess Sissi’s ex-lovers and the actions of a scorned woman, Ifia couldn’t help but sneer. A blazing anger flickered in her shining black eyes. Her hands involuntarily clenched into fists, eager to deliver an iron punch to the enemy’s face!

How dare Princess Sissi, the fickle radish, even think about Amelia? Die! As long as Ifia was there, Princess Sissi wouldn’t get what she wanted!

Driven by terrifying speculations about the Taric royal family and Princess Sissi’s interest in Amelia, with a two-pronged approach, Ifia successfully abandoned the idea of lounging on the soft bed and decided to go next door to find Amelia.

She quietly reminded Amelia to be careful and not to have too much contact with the Taric royal family. After all, there was still Prince Carloy in the current interaction between the Sith Empire and the Taric Kingdom! Let him handle it!

Anyway, he had experienced being imprisoned in the secret room in the original plot, and now, even if he went through it again, it wouldn’t be a big deal… After all, they were the male and female leads, needing to experience various dangers. As for her, the supporting female character, she would just stay on the sidelines and silently observe!

Thinking of this, Ifia couldn’t care less about continuing to listen to gossip. Instead, she quickly left the room, came to the next door, knocked on the door, and shouted through the closed door, “Amelia, are you there? I need to talk to you about something!”

However, after knocking for a while, Ifia didn’t hear any response from inside. This made Ifia feel increasingly uneasy. For a moment, her brain uncontrollably imagined very bad scenarios. Ifia didn’t continue knocking but instead tried to forcefully push the door open. She even considered calling others to break down the door. Amelia must not be in trouble!

However, in the midst of Ifia’s anxious thoughts, the door was easily pushed open by her.
