A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 69
[Vol. 3] Chapter 69: Getting Rich!
Princess Sissi was not merely a reckless individual relying solely on physical force. She is someone who, with just a bit of thought, grasps crucial aspects.
Amelia Barlen had consistently accommodated Ifia, with Ifia’s opinions holding sway, particularly in the underground passages. If it weren’t for her current abnormal state, it would be impossible to discern that Amelia Barlen was a demon.
After all, demons typically regarded humans as prey, treating them as playthings with casual indifference, not cherishing them as Amelia Barlen did. However, encountering a demon like Amelia Barlen was Princess Sissi’s fortune, at least without the need to sacrifice her soul. Instead, she could seek the demon’s assistance through alternative means.
As for what those means were…
As long as Ifia agrees to help, Amelia Barlen will not refuse. Compared to the enigmatic Amelia Barlen, Ifia was straightforward and understandable, with obvious weaknesses: timidity and avarice!
After leaving the main hall, directly utilizing gold for transactions, and if Ifia disagrees, then increasing the gold stakes…
As a princess with several gold mines, anything solvable with gold was not considered difficult for Princess Sissi. Thinking about this, she seems to have found reassurance, suddenly becoming calm.
Despite the existing uncertainties, such as Ifia’s potential refusal to be swayed by gold or Amelia Barlen’s potential anger, the plan did not guarantee absolute success.
However, in her current situation, she found herself in a predicament where she had no choice but to accept the task, given her father’s suspicions and mistrust. Refusal was not an option, compelled as she is from both sides.
Instead of dwelling on the negative, Princess Sissi, with the prospect of formidable assistance, decided to look at the situation optimistically. Having powerful support was undoubtedly better than facing the challenges alone.
Hence, the clear-thinking Princess Sissi ceased her hesitation. Meeting the weary and scrutinizing gaze of her father from above, she even managed to let a smile play on her lips. With deep red eyes reflecting a hint of seriousness, she fearlessly locks eyes with him.
The once weak and feeble young creature has grown into a strong and courageous being, showcasing its prowess to prove that it is ready to take over.
The fearless nature of youth was the greatest asset. However, in contrast to Princess Sissi’s ambitious confidence, Taric’s King in the higher seat suppressed the urge to frown.
In just a short moment, his formidable daughter had undergone such significant changes. From the initial tension upon entering the main hall to now appearing relaxed, she had completely let go of her previously taut state. Could it be that she underestimated the prowess of the dark elves, thinking that she could gain renown solely through punishing their actions?
No, no, no, Sissi would never be so foolish!
She must have already devised a plan to deal with this.
In a moment, Taric’s King emotions were complex, he both admired the excellence of his offspring and resented her for being overly outstanding. Especially at a time when he was still in the prime of his life, she posed a threat to his throne!
Despite the myriad thoughts in his mind, Taric’s King expression remained unreadable. He refrained from speaking at this moment and instead awaited Princess Sissi’s response.
In response, Princess Sissi had already formulated a strategy and would not hesitate. “Father, please rest assured. I am willing to resolve this trouble for the royal family!”
Princess Sissi decisively took the initiative, prompting a hearty laugh from Taric’s King. Whether it was a performance or genuine sentiment, Taric’s King face was filled with contentment. Disregarding his frail body, he repeatedly clapped his hands on the golden throne and kept saying, “Very well, Sissi, you are my most outstanding child.”
Ifia, standing in place, suppressed the urge to express her disbelief, thinking that aristocrats always loved putting on a show.
She couldn’t see any fatherly affection between King of Taric Kingdom and Princess Sissi. Instead, it seemed like these two would rather engage in a direct fight. Winner takes the throne, loser gets dismissed!
However, these matters were irrelevant to her, and she didn’t mind if it resulted in a bloody confrontation.
Ifia was more concerned about her own reward. When would it be credited? The reason she had been standing here for so long was all about the gold!
For a long time, Taric’s King had ignored them, and Ifia, feeling a sense of impatience, lightly stamped her foot. Although she managed to maintain a forced expression on her face, the anxiety between her eyebrows was evident.
Seeing this, Amelia, standing beside her, smiled but didn’t say anything. Instead, she lifted her head and looked directly at Taric’s King on the higher seat.
Unnoticed by Ifia, Amelia’s purple eyes turned completely red, activating her demonic abilities.
In the next moment, Taric’s King ceased interacting with Princess Sissi, appearing momentarily stunned before quickly returning to normal. Princess Sissi, engaged in conversation with him, was also taken aback. She had sensed it the moment Amelia used her abilities!
Now, Amelia Barlen didn’t bother to conceal her demonic nature. Princess Sissi’s fear of her deepened. However, at this moment, what did Amelia Barlen intend to achieve by using her abilities?
Did she want to kill King of Taric Kingdom and take his place? Or did she find them disagreeable and plan to destroy Taric kingdom? As high-ranking demons, Amelia Barlen was fully capable of such actions!
The more Princess Sissi thought about it, the more terrified she became. She grew increasingly nervous, her heart pounding rapidly.
“Sissi, my child, who are the two standing by your side?”
However, the first words spoken by the demon-controlled Taric’s King caught Princess Sissi off guard.
She stood frozen in place, instinctively replying, “They are honored guests from the Sith Empire, Miss Amelia Barlen, the Duke’s daughter, and Miss Ifia. It is thanks to their intervention that I was spared during the attack by the dark elves.”
“I see, guests from a foreign land. You may freely state your compensation for the unwarranted disaster suffered in the palace and the reward for rescuing Princess Sissi,” said the demon-controlled Taric’s King, who had become remarkably mild and agreeable.
Following the script already written, Princess Sissi found herself momentarily speechless after hearing this.
The extravagant use of demonic abilities to manipulate Taric’s King turned out to be merely an attempt to please Ifia!
It raised doubts about whether Amelia Barlen was truly a demon, given her excessive fondness for humans!
Regardless of Princess Sissi’s thoughts, King Taric’s words delighted Ifia, who thought she had finally hit the jackpot. Becoming a wealthy woman was no longer just a dream!
From then on, Ifia didn’t need to intervene directly. Amelia, acting as a diplomat, took charge. King of Taric Kingdom presented an irresistible offer.
Hehehe, time to get rich!
Even after Amelia and Ifia left the main hall, Ifia remained immersed in joy, her constantly upturned mouth refusing to settle, sporting an excessively radiant and somewhat silly smile.
Amelia, feeling helpless, contemplated showcasing the financial power of the Barlen family in various ways before Ifia once they returned to the Sith Empire.
“Release me! You will pay for your disrespectful actions!”
An angry voice echoed not far away, and the familiar male voice snapped Ifia back to reality. Upon looking up, she raised an eyebrow.
Well, well, wasn’t this Prince Carloy, who had been kidnapped and imprisoned?
Finally set free!
