A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 77

[Vol. 4] Chapter 77: The Stubborn King

Amelia had just boarded the carriage and immediately received warm gazes.

Ifia’s small eyes sparkled as she sat at the table, hands supporting her cheeks, looking over with an adorable face full of admiration, almost wanting to give a big thumbs up.

Although Ifia considered herself to have a clever mind, there was always someone more cunning!

For example, she had only thought about imposing hefty fines, but Amelia suggested hosting an auction to fleece the nobles.

Even though Ifia didn’t know how valuable those magical plants were, the fact that the private soldiers of two major noble families fought over them, even at the cost of lives, indicated their extremely high value.

Moreover, Amelia had mentioned that magical plants were rare resources in the Camus territory…

Therefore, it was foreseeable that the upcoming auction would be lively and lucrative. And they would make a lot of money! Empty the pockets of those nobles!!!

Ah, Amelia was truly clever, Ifia wanted to give her a hearty kiss.

(>_<)

The embarrassment of almost falling face-first a moment ago was now forgotten. Since there were only the two of them in the carriage, Ifia boldly pounced towards Amelia.

She lifted Amelia’s face and planted a couple of warm kisses on her cheeks.

At the same time, Ifia didn’t forget to say, “Amelia, you’re amazing! You actually thought of hosting an auction, now we can earn even more money~”

Faced with Ifia’s enthusiasm, Amelia smiled indulgently.

She reached out to hug Ifia’s waist, preventing her from falling, not minding the playful gestures.

Although demons had unpredictable temperaments, they enjoyed various forms of intimacy with their partners. Amelia never found Ifia’s occasional coquetry and kisses excessive. Instead, sometimes she felt Ifia was too shy.

How nice it would be if they could cuddle and kiss anytime, anywhere!

However, considering Ifia’s stubborn nature, Amelia, understanding her well, didn’t voice this thought. Otherwise, it might backfire.

Fortunately, Amelia knew Ifia’s personality, understanding that in moments of emotional excitement, Ifia completely lost control of herself and would inevitably make affectionate and playful gestures. Therefore, by applying the right approach, it was easy to achieve the desired results.

With a little thoughtful planning, one could always satisfy the demon. In any case, this adorable creature was always under control and couldn’t escape.

After receiving Ifia’s affectionate gestures this time, Amelia took the opportunity to return the kisses before placing the excited Ifia back in her seat.

Amelia then sat beside her.

Although knowing that Ifia wouldn’t pay much attention to details, for caution’s sake, Amelia still said, “I’ve been busy with official matters and haven’t paid much attention to Camus, so there might have been oversights. Once we reach the town, I’ll have the guards issue a public notice.”

“Teams sent by various families can search for treasures, but once they obtain magical plants, they must surrender them. Otherwise, it will be considered theft. The guards of the Barlen family will apprehend and detain the culprits, and they will only be released after paying a fine.”

Amelia explained the upcoming decree in detail, and Ifia nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken.

However, Ifia soon thought of something and hastily spoke up, “But, Amelia, what if someone secretly hides the plants? The guards won’t be able to find them even with daily patrols, right?”

“No need to worry. Due to the unique nature of magical plants, you only need to hold a piece of silver ore. If someone carrying a magical plant comes close, a silver ore will quickly turn black.”

“I see.”

Amelia’s considerations were so thorough that Ifia felt there was nothing more to add. She could just wait to collect the money.

Indeed, her Amelia was super talented!

Thinking this, Ifia couldn’t help but feel proud, and her smile couldn’t be contained. Seeing this, Amelia smiled helplessly and then asked, “Ifia, with magical plants being such rare resources, don’t you want them?”

Amelia was curious about this question. After all, for most people, the first choice would undoubtedly be the magical plants.

Just like the options of wealth and immortality, choosing the latter allows one to use unlimited time to accumulate riches.

Therefore, upon learning about the rare magical plants in the Camus territory, the nobles of Darwa City were almost breaking their heads in the rush to seize them. The Rosward royal family, who had been carefully concealing the information, was furious.

“I don’t want them,” Ifia replied honestly, shaking her head.

As for the reason…

“Throughout history, those who trade with demons rarely end up well. It’s better to be down-to-earth and not always seek shortcuts,” she explained.

Although Ifia didn’t want to admit it, she knew she was a bit foolish and lacked cunning compared to others. Trying to take an unconventional path might lead to unforeseen consequences, possibly even a cliff.

It was like gambling, but Ifia was not good at gambling

Upon hearing Ifia’s words, Amelia’s purple eyes flickered for a moment. She then casually remarked, “Most transactions between demons and humans are about mutual consent. It’s often the humans’ greed that leads them to a dire situation, unrepentant until death.”

“Exactly!” Ifia nodded in agreement. Despite demons being detestable, the humans who engaged in transactions with them didn’t deserve sympathy.

Seeing that Ifia didn’t harbor deep hatred for demons, Amelia maintained a neutral expression but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly shifted her focus to something else.

“This time, thanks to Ifia suggesting fines, it gave me the idea for a solution. You truly are my lucky girl.”

“Hehehe, really?”

“Of course.”

Watching Ifia with her easily satisfied and adorable demeanor, Amelia couldn’t help but raise her hand and ruffle her hair. As the carriage sped along, accompanied by a large number of guards protecting them, the momentum was grand!

Even the packs of snow wolves, not to mention any road-blocking individuals, all fled with their tails between their legs. The group quickly arrived at the Camus town.

At the entrance of the town, a large wooden sign stood tall, presumably bearing the name of the town. However, at this moment, it was blocked by a long string of heads, making it impossible to see clearly.

Upon noticing the horrifying sight of heads covering the sign, Amelia preemptively raised her hand to cover Ifia’s eyes. She only let go when the gruesome scene was completely out of view.

On the other side, Captain Fern felt that Miss Barlen had been on the road for a while and now needed a place to rest. So, instead of sending the coachman elsewhere, he led them directly to a two-story building nearby.

Since learning that the newly appointed Miss Barlen was about to arrive, the excited Fern had arranged for the residence to be tidied up early, decorating it with care.

When Ifia got off the carriage and saw her accommodations for the foreseeable future, she felt very satisfied.

While she quickly slipped inside to check the interior decorations, Amelia, walking behind her, furrowed her brows.

She stopped in her tracks, silently raising her head and looking ahead, where a strange black mist was swiftly approaching.
