A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 5] Chapter 17

[Vol. 5] Chapter 17: So Strange, Take Another Look

Ah???

Ifia wore a puzzled expression, feeling strange, and took another look at the saint.

This time, when she looked again, the expression on Saint Tiffany’s face had returned to normal, still as pure and holy as ever.

It seemed that the stern expression from before was just Ifia’s imagination.

Ifia, unwilling to believe it, kept looking.

Soon, she caught the attention of Taroumati, who was sitting beside the saint.

Taroumati turned her head vigilantly to glare at Ifia.

Her emerald eyes seemed to stand up like a provoked venomous snake, looking sharply at her, ready to defend her treasure at any moment.

Just glaring wasn’t enough for Taroumati, she raised her fist threateningly.

However, before she could make another move, Saint Tiffany glanced at Taroumati coldly, making her immediately turn into a pitiful, rain-soaked puppy.

But that wasn’t all, an invisible magical force suddenly struck.

Taroumati groaned, a look of pain appearing on her face as she reached out and grabbed the black arrowhead that struck her chest, crushing it with force.

Everything happened so suddenly.

When Ifia saw the black arrowhead shatter, her eyes widened in astonishment, her heart pounding with fear, afraid that Taroumati would die right there!

However, after the arrowhead lodged in Taroumati’s chest disappeared, she seemed to be unharmed.

At least she wasn’t dead.

Later, Ifia glanced sideways at Amelia, who was sitting opposite her eating dumplings, still maintaining her elegant and graceful demeanor in every movement.

Sensing Ifia’s gaze, Amelia raised her eyes, her purple eyes shining like gems.

She deliberately asked, “Lovely Ifia, why aren’t you eating?”

With a look of innocence as if to say, “I didn’t do anything,” leaving Ifia somewhat speechless.

So, now that she had discovered her demon identity, Amelia wasn’t bothering to pretend anymore, huh!!!

This demon!

How dare she commit violence in public!

“Amelia, please restrain yourself!”

Ifia had no choice but to remind her. Even if she’s a demon, she shouldn’t be so bold!

Although she knew Amelia was venting for her, it all stemmed from her looking at Saint Tiffany a few times too many, making Taroumati jealous and angry…

Most importantly, there were many church clergy present here. If they were discovered, it would be disastrous… Saint Tiffany is very powerful!

Was she trying to make her a widow before passing the probation period?

“It’s okay, Taroumati is also a demon, she won’t easily die.”

“……”

Now, Ifia was truly speechless.

Who could understand?

In this day and age, demons are even pursuing saints???

Ifia had previously worried about how her and Amelia’s interracial relationship would turn out.

But now, look at this, goodness gracious, there are even more proficient buff stackers than them!

Regarding Taroumati being a demon, Ifia was suspicious but not certain.

After all, the first time she saw Taroumati, she appeared in the villa as Amelia’s friend, with a very familiar attitude.

However, Amelia quickly provided an explanation that they were just partners. Not close.

But now, it turns out she was deceived!

Thinking about this, Ifia glared at Amelia with annoyance, thinking setting a probation period was indeed the right choice, otherwise, she would have been completely deceived!!!

Ifia turned her frustration into appetite, wolfing down another sweet dumplings.

At the moment, she didn’t really want to bring up anything related to demons. But she was also a bit curious.

The gossip spirit was burning fiercely, making Ifia endure and endure, but in the end, she couldn’t resist asking a small question.

“Amelia, isn’t Taroumati afraid of being discovered by the saint and then getting killed by her?”

This kind of love between opposing camps really makes people super curious for gossip!

Amelia also understood Ifia’s personality, so she wasn’t surprised when she spoke up, patiently giving an explanation.

“Saint Tiffany has long since discovered that she is a demon, or rather, Taroumati has never concealed her identity, persistently staying by the saint’s side.”

Remembering how Saint Tiffany usually treated Taroumati with indifference, not like how she and Amelia were intimate, and then thinking about how Taroumati chased after her like a lapdog…

Ahem, but Taroumati was definitely not an obedient lapdog. Instead, she was a seductive demon. Maybe it was an unrequited love~

Ifia blinked excitedly, just about to continue asking for details, but she was interrupted by Amelia, who stuffed a dumpling into her mouth, then said with a smirk.

“Ifia, I don’t like it when you mention other people. It makes me jealous.”

“……”

This remark left Ifia speechless as she chewed on the dumpling.

(¬_¬”)

Without mentioning the saint and Taroumati, Ifia struggled to swallow the dumpling in her mouth.

Then, she looked at the steward Bisse, who was running around like a butterfly, and suddenly remembered the Count Duler, who was ‘killed’ by Amelia.

Stirring the sweet soup of the dumpling with her spoon, Ifia hesitated a bit.

After all, she had temporarily forgiven Amelia’s deception, but getting involved with demons… she couldn’t help feeling it was a bit dangerous!

But not asking also made her feel uncomfortably blocked.

“Ifia, do you have something to say?”

While Ifia was tangled up inside, Amelia naturally noticed. She stopped eating, her gentle gaze resting on Ifia’s face, encouraging her to speak up.

Seeing this, Ifia felt a bit relieved and indeed asked, “Was the demon possessing Count Duler really expelled by the church clergy? Now that he’s dead, what will happen next?”

“It wasn’t successfully expelled… As for what happens next, I’ll have other demons impersonate Count Duler, so no one else will find out.”

“Well…”

With Amelia’s affirmative answer, Ifia furrowed her brows lightly. She hadn’t forgotten that the Count Duler, who had been eating wildly in front of everyone, had ‘returned to normal’!

Could it be a demon’s scheme and deception?

Ifia looked up at Amelia, her dark eyes shining sharply, waiting for an explanation.

“The demonic turmoil in Darwa City is ultimately due to the Barlen family’s auctioning of magical plants. Regardless of public or private interests, we must quickly quell the chaos. However, the church’s exorcism this time was too disastrous, unable to eradicate the demons. As it’s the first exorcism activity now, we need a good outcome, so I intervened discreetly.”

Amelia, under Ifia’s scrutiny, remained calm and even smiled slightly, giving a rational and calm explanation.

Upon hearing this, Ifia found it reasonable, but something still felt off…

Yet, she couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong!

She could only continue asking about the areas of doubt, “Amelia, I heard ‘Count Duler’ call you ‘Great Sovereign,’ which must mean you hold a high position among demons, right? Can’t you make the demons in Darwa City leave? If Amelia could quickly quell the disturbance, it would be a good thing for the people of Darwa City! They wouldn’t have to live in fear because of demons.”

“I can’t. Even if I’m a demon Great Sovereign, there are still disobedient demons who deliberately oppose me. If some demons unite against me, I might get hurt…”

“Really! Amelia, then let’s not bother anymore. Let’s leave exorcism to the professionals. We’ll just watch from the sidelines!”

As soon as Ifia heard that Amelia might get hurt, she immediately shook her head repeatedly.

Good demons like Amelia weren’t a match for those bad demons!

She didn’t want Amelia to get hurt!

“Okay.”

Amelia obediently agreed, her purple eyes shimmering with fractured light, a smile on her lips carrying a hint of joy.
