A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 121
[Vol. 4] Chapter 121: Belias
It was time for another joyful gossip session~
This time, unlike usual, the subject of the gossip was Jessica’s uncle, a juicy piece of gossip to savor.
This had fueled Jessica’s desire to talk even more!
So, without needing any prodding from Ifia this time, Jessica’s face lit up with a mischievous smile as she began recounting eagerly, “Originally, the guards of the Lilace Family were sent to the Camus Territory to dig for the legendary treasure. Maybe there would be some special findings, but the biggest possibility was coming back empty-handed.”
“But once they reached Camus, they found something even better.”
“After all, it’s magical plants that can summon demons. Even the royal family of Rosward can’t resist. My family especially my uncle was very enthusiastic. They sent out a group of guards to search for several days in the icy wilderness, but they didn’t find a single clue about the magical plants.”
As Jessica talked about the Camus Territory, she glanced at Ifia.
Her little sister is really something!
Miss Barlen really adores Ifia!
But those two seem to enjoy playing flirtatious games, dragging it on until now without breaking the final barrier. Instead, indulging in ambiguous behavior, which is really frustrating to watch.
That girl, Austin, never learned. She always preferred playing it straight.
She probably wished she could just take her straight to bed… Ugh, what a pervert!
Jessica found herself wanting to experience the joy of ambiguity too.
Rather than immediately getting a ticket to the adult world.
Darn it!
With a resentful thought, Jessica refocused her attention on the present and continued, “Here, I have to mention how amazing Miss Barlen is!”
“While other families haven’t even caught a glimpse of magical plants, Miss Barlen managed to host an auction and directly sell ten magical plants. The Lilace Family benefited from this, spending a huge sum to successfully purchase the plants.”
“Then, just yesterday, my uncle—the current head of the Lilace Family—excitedly took the magical plants and immediately rushed to the secret chamber, preparing to start the summoning ritual.”
At this point, Jessica couldn’t help but grin mischievously, the real fun was about to begin!
“At the time, others wanted to get a close look, but my uncle refused, claiming that it would disrupt the ritual and sent everyone away, leaving only himself.”
“When it comes to summoning demons, opinions within the Lilace Family vary, but most people don’t approve… After all, dealing with demons is like playing with fire. You never know when you might get killed by a demon. But my uncle didn’t care.”
“So, after spending the whole night inside the secret chamber without my uncle coming out, others couldn’t sit still anymore. With the idea of disrupting the summoning ritual would not harm the head of the family, they immediately rushed in.”
Finally getting the chance to gossip up close like this, Jessica wanted to tell the whole story.
So, amidst some rambling, Ifia didn’t mind and instead eagerly awaited the continuation.
“I was at the forefront at that time, although I got scolded by my mother afterward, but it’s okay. Who made me the first one to see the demon summoned by my uncle fooling around!”
“The ‘not-so-serious’ demon I mentioned earlier refers to a demon different from what you’d imagine. Most demon images are terrifying and cruel, but the demon my uncle summoned was polite and very refined.”
“It looked like an ordinary human noble, but it could float in mid-air…”
Jessica’s smile brightened as she finally got to the point, “Hehehe, that demon’s name is Belias. According to his introduction, he’s a leader-level demon commanding numerous legions, enjoys music, and is proficient in mathematics.”
“Then, after my uncle expressed his wish for the demon to fulfill, the demon Belias brought out a book called ‘Advanced Mathematics’ and asked my uncle to complete the math problems in it within a week.”
“Hahaha, it was the first time I heard that a demon would force someone to solve math problems! If you can’t solve them, don’t even think about having your wish fulfilled. Instead, your life might be threatened.”
Thinking of her uncle’s miserable face, Jessica felt like rolling on the ground with laughter!
It was precisely because the demon, who forced people to solve problems, wasn’t keen on taking lives but rather on solving math problems that Jessica’s uncle’s life was temporarily safe, which made Jessica ecstatic.
Otherwise, even if her uncle treated her poorly, she wouldn’t revel in someone’s misfortune when they’re entangled by a demon…
Listening to Jessica talk about the eccentric demon, Ifia couldn’t help but join in the laughter. It was really eye-opening!
After the two of them almost laughed themselves breathless, Ifia asked with some confusion, “So, Jessica, what does your uncle want to do by summoning a demon?”
When it came to demons, even a three-year-old child knew not to touch them!
But for Jessica’s uncle to insist on summoning a demon, what kind of difficult wish did he have?
“Ah, my uncle is just too greedy. He wants to summon a demon to help him ascend to a higher title, to become a duke.”
“……”
Not only did Jessica look speechless when she spoke, but Ifia was also the same… Are all those nobles who summon demons so wildly ambitious?
If simply summoning a demon could grant high titles, wouldn’t the Sith Empire have fallen into chaos long ago?
“Hehe, that’s just the beginning, Ifia. You know, the Rosward royal family is even more formidable. They actually summoned demons to deal with the Barlen Family.”
Ever since Jessica had contact with Austin, she had all sorts of gossip and insider information.
And the Rosward royal family was an important target of attention for all the families in Darwa City. So, it wasn’t surprising that Jessica knew about these things.
Even without Austin’s leaks, being in the Lilace Family, she could still have found out. Only Ifia, this little fool, constantly thought about seducing Amelia, thereby ignoring the surrounding information.
Therefore, upon hearing about how despicable the Rosward royal family was, she immediately felt itchy with anger. No wonder, on the day they returned to Darwa City, Prince Carloy had such a smug look when he came to take the magical plants.
It seemed the royal family had long planned to play dirty!
However, any conspiracy was useless in the face of strength!
Ifia believed in Amelia’s power, which would surely make the enemy’s plans fail.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. The demon summoned by the Rosward royal family didn’t attack Miss Barlen. Instead, it attacked the summoner. After devouring the attendant, it didn’t leave. I heard it’s wandering around the palace all day, randomly catching people to eat.”
Jessica gave Ifia a look that urged her to stay calm. When Austin told her about this, Jessica felt that maybe the demon had an extra fear of Miss Barlen…
So, unwilling to even feign obedience, it directly turned against the royal family.
From this, it could be seen: Humans < Demons < Miss Barlen…
In summary, Miss Barlen is at the top of the food chain!!!
