A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 66

[Vol. 3] Chapter 66: Running Away with Gold

Although she heard Amelia’s warning, Ifia considered herself merely a spectator. What danger could there be? In her previous life, before death, she had watched some morbid videos, with incredibly bloody scenes. Yet, it only led to a temporary loss of appetite and soon returned to normal.

So, just interrogating a dark elf!

She wanted to see!

Having grown up in an era of peace, Ifia had never encountered such a scene. Curiosity prevailing, she obediently stood aside after seeing that Amelia did not continue to refuse. Standing symmetrically with Princess Sissi on the opposite side, Ifia glanced curiously.

Princess Sissi, injured from resisting the dark elf attack, seemed to have lost much of her strength. She sat awkwardly on the ground, leaning against the uneven wall, her red eyes carrying a bewildered look.

Before further observation, as Amelia began the interrogation, Ifia’s attention was immediately redirected, focusing on the questioning of the dark elf.

Meanwhile, the confusion in Princess Sissi’s eyes did not persist. Soon, she confirmed that her feelings were not wrong. After the changes in her body due to the royal blood curse, Princess Sissi could sense things ordinary humans couldn’t, such as the presence exclusive to demons…

Amelia Barlen does indeed exude a demonic aura, and moreover, it is that of a formidable higher-level demon. Merely sensing her presence makes Princess Sissi tremble uncontrollably. It is as if a feeble creature has encountered a fierce beast, forced to cower in a corner, shivering.

When facing dark elves, she was never as terrified as she is now. It is evident that there is no mere contamination of an aura but a genuine encounter with a higher-level demon.

However, a pressing question arises – why is the Duke’s daughter of the Sith Empire a higher-level demon?

If, prior to this revelation, Princess Sissi harbored admiration and desires for Amelia Barlen due to her strength, the knowledge of her being a higher-level demon has completely severed any thoughts of pursuit.

In fact, there is now a fear stemming from past reckless actions, worrying that Amelia Barlen might pose harm to her. After all, demons are creatures who hold grudges.

Yet, the matter of Amelia Barlen being a demon, do others know about it? Contemplating these thoughts, Princess Sissi couldn’t help but glance at Ifia standing opposite her.

This woman, who from the beginning seemed eager to imprint an exclusive seal on Amelia Barlen, could she have succumbed to the allure of the demon?

Or perhaps she made a deal with the demon? Otherwise, how could she dare to be so audacious in the presence of a higher-level demon!

Princess Sissi’s perplexity remains unanswered.

Ifia, who is unaware of being suspected of having a connection with the demon, watches the dark elf become blurred in flesh and blood due to the interrogation.

The curious and gossip-filled expression on Ifia’s face gradually fades away, now turning into an expressionless demeanor.

Watching videos and being present at the scene are entirely different things!

She’s almost nauseated now!

Why do Amelia and Princess Sissi both appear unfazed? Is she the only one who seems like an oblivious novice with poor acceptance?

To avoid being outdone by the two, Ifia forcefully maintains an appearance of composure. However, her eyes have started to evade, with her gaze darting around in all directions.

“Thank you for your patience.”

Fortunately, Ifia didn’t have to wait too long, as Amelia’s side concluded quickly. However, post-interrogation, not much information was obtained.

“These creatures have been confined in the royal palace for too long, coupled with the use of forbidden techniques such as blood extraction, has further muddled their consciousness. Consequently, their memories are in disarray, rendering them devoid of any valuable information.”

Amelia frowned slightly, anticipating insights into the happenings in the Dark Forest post-interrogation. However, the interrogation proved futile, these dark elves are disoriented, aggressive, and driven solely by instinct to attack.

It seems a personal visit to the Dark Forest is necessary!

“No worries, we’re just passing through. Let the Taric Royal Family handle their own mess!”

Ifia quickly averts her gaze, relieved that she no longer has to look at that mosaic-covered scene. Sensing disappointment in Amelia’s words, she promptly speaks up to console her.

Ifia’s mindset is straightforward – besides the compensation, all she cares about is getting the reward for saving people!

However, considering the annoying nobles from the envoy group, she turns to Princess Sissi to avoid further interference.

Directly inquiring, “Princess Sissi, there’s no need to continue hiding it. Is Prince Carloy’s disappearance related to the Taric Royal Family?”

Without waiting for Princess Sissi’s response, Ifia adds, “Even if it is the Taric Royal Family’s doing, we won’t delve too deep. We just want the royal family to release Prince Carloy. After all, it wouldn’t look good for us when we return to the Sith Empire if anything happens to the prince.”

Ifia was entirely indifferent to others’ concerns and felt no guilt. In the original plot, Prince Carloy was also imprisoned. Their intervention had only expedited the process, turning it into a stroke of luck for Prince Carloy.

As for whether Prince Carloy should retaliate against the Taric royal family afterward, that’s not their concern!

By that time, she would have already run away with the gold, and who cares about meddling in others’ affairs!

After hearing Ifia’s words, Princess Sissi fell silent for a moment and quickly responded, “Prince Carloy is fine. Once I leave here, I will immediately send someone to release him.”

Perhaps because her details had already been revealed to Ifia and the others, Princess Sissi did not continue to deny or pretend ignorance.

Of course, the real reason for her cooperation was the demonic identity of Amelia Barlen, which made Princess Sissi extremely wary. She wished to fulfill all conditions and have the Sith Empire envoy group leave Taric as soon as possible, thus expediting the departure of this demonic entity!

Upon seeing Princess Sissi being so cooperative, Ifia tilted her head in confusion. It felt like Princess Sissi had changed since her battle with the dark elves. However, since the situation could be easily resolved, why bother getting into unnecessary trouble?

Especially regarding Prince Carloy, Ifia didn’t want to interfere too much, primarily to avoid causing trouble for Amelia with the nobility.

Now that the matter was settled, they could leave this place! “Amelia, we’ve found the person. Let’s go!”

With these thoughts, Ifia approached Amelia, gently lifting her arm and leaning most of her weight on it, playfully trying to save energy. Despite not exerting too much physical effort along the way, witnessing the interrogation had left Ifia feeling drained.

However, even in such a state, she didn’t find the interrogator, Amelia, terrifying. Perhaps this was the ultimate filter of a double standard perspective!

“You can’t leave yet. Inside the sealed door ahead, there is a woman from the Sith Empire envoy group who is still alive.”

However, just as Ifia finished speaking, Princess Sissi frowned and spoke.
