A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 3] Chapter 89

[Vol. 3] Chapter 89: She Won’t Accompany Anymore!

Even though Amelia Barlen was formidable, they were just two individuals, yet they managed to truly deal with the brutal dark elves?

Especially considering that one of them was completely non-combative, essentially a burden.

Princess Sissi cast a skeptical glance at Ifia, almost uttering the words “weaklings,” which left Ifia feeling displeased and caused her to purse her lips in disdain!

Hmph!

Who does she think she was looking down on?

The dark elf tribe was grateful to her. Not to mention, rather than harming her, they line up to express their respect for her, as if it were not grand enough!

However, Amelia had warned on the way back. After lifting the curse of terror from the dark elf tribe, it’s like releasing the iron chain restraining a vicious dog. Inevitably, some unpleasant incidents will occur afterward.

Therefore, it was best not to disclose the matter of lifting the curse to the Taric royal family. To avoid being resented. In response, Ifia was very obedient and dared not utter a word. She even thought that maybe they should leave early!

In case, during their stay in Taric, the dark elves didn’t prioritize restoring their appearance but instead rushed straight to the palace…

It was likely that the promised gold from Taric’s King and Princess Sissi would go down the drain.

Regarding the grievances between the dark elves and the Taric royal family, Ifia maintained a bystander status, without any intention of getting involved, only thinking about running away with the gold.

After all, the Taric royal family isn’t composed of good people, and the dark elves prey on humans. Neither side is morally upright… If they start killing each other, she won’t stick around!

Similar to Ifia’s thoughts, Amelia expressed that upon returning to the Taric palace later, she would propose to the nobles of the envoy team to return to their homeland.

Although Amelia was not the leader of this envoy team, as the direct descendant of Barlen family with the authority over the fleet, even Prince Carloy couldn’t compare to her. So, Ifia wasn’t worried about these matters, she was only concerned about whether her gold would arrive on time.

With so much gold, it would be enough for her to splurge! With this in mind, Ifia ignored Princess Sissi’s suspicion of her being a burden and, suppressing the urge to rub her hands together like a fly, proactively reminded, “Princess Sissi, we can return now. Amelia has already dealt with all the dark elves.”

Then, seemingly feeling that her words lacked persuasiveness, she continued to add, “If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to have a look in the Dark Forest… Oh, right, you were trapped in an illusion as soon as you entered the Dark Forest, and it was Amelia who broke the illusion, saving you from danger!”

After saying this, Ifia looked smugly at Princess Sissi with a look of contempt. “A gentleman’s revenge is never too late.” This was a perfect counterattack. When the words “illusion” were mentioned, Princess Sissi paused, quickly recalling the gruesome deaths of the soldiers.

The fact that the illusion could silently kill multiple people indicated its power, and the fact that Amelia Barlen could single-handedly break the illusion suggested that her abilities might be even more powerful than anticipated.

And more dangerous!

As for why she didn’t doubt Ifia’s words, it was because they were all suddenly kicked out of the illusion… If it weren’t for Amelia Barlen breaking the illusion, they would still be immersed in false illusions, continuing to act out their inner desires, gradually sinking step by step. “No need, I believe what you said, let’s go back now!”

Out of fear of Amelia Barlen’s abilities, even if they were to send someone to explore the Dark Forest later, Princess Sissi wouldn’t directly voice her doubts now. Instead, she gave face on the surface, pretending to look confident.

With a command, the remaining people mounted their horses, eager to leave the Dark Forest. Despite hearing Ifia’s assurance that the dark elves had been dealt with and the illusion broken, witnessing the recent gruesome deaths of their companions would leave anyone deeply unsettled.

On the way back, as the sorrowful emotions from the loss of their companions gradually eased, the soldiers traveling alongside began to think about other things, sneaking glances at Amelia beside them.

They saw this strong figure with an icy demeanor, radiating a cold light like a sharp sword, making people wary of approaching her without permission. The people of Taric did not welcome the Sith Empire envoy team.

Especially seeing their seemingly frail bodies, devoid of any strength, was even more contemptible. However, this woman named Amelia Barlen defeated Princess Sissi with just one move. And single-handedly broke the illusion of the Dark Forest. Simply powerful to a shocking extent!

Letting them personally see what it means not to judge a book by its cover… With this in mind, the soldiers turned to look at Ifia, wondering if this woman wearing a floral wreath on her head might also be strong despite her appearance?

After all, she had a strong presence when speaking to Princess Sissi just now. It’s rare for ordinary people not to be overwhelmed by Princess Sissi’s aura and end up feeling inferior in her presence!

Unaware that she had become an enigmatic figure in the eyes of others, Ifia, while riding, carefully protected the floral wreath on her head, which she had painstakingly woven for a long time to keep it from falling off the horse!

However, while lifting her hand to hold the wreath, she also had to grab the reins, causing Ifia to become a bit flustered, appearing somewhat clueless and careless about her surroundings, which made Amelia, who was traveling with her, couldn’t help but chuckle.

Finally, seeing Ifia about to fall off her horse, Amelia directly lifted her up with her hand.

After settling Ifia in front and ensuring the safety of her floral wreath, Ifia only needed to focus on protecting the wreath while Amelia took care of the riding issues. For this, Ifia, who had almost fallen off the horse, also felt relieved and happily leaned against Amelia’s chest.

This trip to the Dark Forest posed little danger to Ifia. It was like she was just out for a leisurely outing, coincidentally completing some system tasks along the way and collecting a large bag of various gems. It could be considered a very worthwhile trip.

However, there was a downside. They needed to leave as soon as possible…

Fortunately, apart from having a large amount of gold, there wasn’t much worth lingering for in the Taric Kingdom. Leaving now didn’t feel regrettable.

So, when the team returned to the Taric palace and Ifia saw Jessica anxiously pacing back and forth waiting, she immediately decided to inform her friend first.

She wanted Jessica to get a share before they left, bringing back more gold to enrich their treasury. Then, with Amelia’s help, Ifia dismounted and quickly ran to meet Jessica, where the two excitedly huddled together, whispering secrets.

“Ifia, I just got back from outside and heard that you went to the Dark Forest. It really scared me!” The Dark Forest is such a terrifying place, too dangerous.

“Well, it’s all right, it’s all right. With Amelia there, you don’t need to worry about safety issues.”

Ifia briefly recounted her experience in the Dark Forest, then mentioned the need to exchange gold as soon as possible. Jessica nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would take Austin, the laborer, to exchange gold today.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but envy Ifia’s trip to the Dark Forest. Although everyone says the Dark Forest is a high-risk area where death is easy to come by… But listening to Ifia’s account, it sounds so interesting!

If only she had insisted on staying at the palace, she could have gone with them!

However, remembering the scene she saw when she returned to the palace, Jessica chuckled, her hazel eyes flashing with gossip.

“I just got back and heard some juicy gossip. Also, I saw Prince Carloy getting beaten up!”
