Chapter: Chapter 67
“Your Majesty, we have news of Princess Kira,” Xue Er said excitedly to Leticia early Tuesday morning.
Leticia paused her eating. Didn’t they say it was difficult earlier? How come there’s news so quickly now?
“So fast?”
“Yes, but Princess Kira contacted us proactively. It’s likely Princess Kira has already guessed what we want to discuss with her.” Xue Er nodded. She had used almost all her connections, and with such a large fanfare, Princess Kira certainly had no reason not to notice.
What’s the best way to find someone? Naturally, it’s to have that person come to find you.
Xue Er knew that Leticia had something Kira desperately wanted. As long as the news was released, their princess would naturally take the bait.
“Is that so? Then please deliver a message for me. I don’t want money. I just want to meet Kira.” Leticia nodded. She truly wanted to know why Kira was so concerned about this book.
This book only recorded some ambiguous myths, entirely clickbait.
“Research on Divine Magic,” it should be called “Fabricated Myths.”
Magic?
Not at all.
However, those stories were indeed quite interesting, and they contained quite a few lessons.
“Are you going in person?” Xue Er’s eyes lit up. If Her Majesty was willing to meet Princess Kira, did that mean Her Majesty still cared about the demon tribe?
At least she cared about Princess Kira, right?
“Yes, of course, I will go, but I won’t let Kira know it’s me.” Leticia glanced at the hopeful Xue Er and said somewhat mercilessly, “I don’t want that brat to cling onto me directly.”
One Bai Ling was already troublesome enough. Adding Kira would be disastrous.
“Is that so?” Xue Er was a little disappointed. “I’ll tell Princess Kira your request right away.”
Xue Er delivered the message very quickly. After all, once both sides started to communicate, the maid already had a direct communication channel with Kira.
Yes, it was a mobile phone.
Not long after Xue Er sent her message, a reply came from the other side, and the result was naturally as Xue Er expected.
“Princess Kira wants to see your sincerity. At least she can’t make a trip for nothing,” Xue Er said to Leticia after putting down her phone.
Being so cautious was a good thing. If Kira agreed immediately, Leticia would suspect that her education of her sister had gone wrong.
The sister she educated couldn’t be a naive simpleton. As the Demon King’s sister, even if she wasn’t a master strategist, she at least shouldn’t be fooled by a scumbag.
Leticia didn’t want to be angered into hospitalization by her sister’s brainless actions like some characters in stories.
As the saying goes, love makes people stupid. But before that happens, Leticia still hoped her sister would be smart.
“That’s easy. Xue Er, go get that book.” Leticia stated that she had plenty of sincerity. As a good sister, would she harm her sister?
However, Xue Er did not act.
“Why are you here?” The reason was naturally that an uninvited guest had arrived in the room.
Bai Ling, with a serious expression, stood behind Leticia, holding the very book Leticia had just asked Xue Er to get.
“If I didn’t come, you would have sent this book to your sister, wouldn’t you?” Bai Ling let out a soft snort. Leticia didn’t lie to her. If she said she would give the book to Kira, she would give it to Kira.
“What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to favor my sister?” Leticia argued righteously. “Understand this, I tricked them out of it. Legally speaking, this book is mine now.”
She owned this book, so why couldn’t she give it to her sister?
“Is it possible that this was solely your achievement?” Bai Ling raised an eyebrow.
If she remembered correctly, she was with Leticia, wasn’t she?
Speaking of which, they were accomplices.
“Did you contribute? I tricked the book out of them, and I could handle the people myself.” Leticia began to act unreasonable.
“I fought two of them, and you only fought one.” Bai Ling argued that, regardless, her contribution to the fighting was greater.
“Hey, since when did you become so good at talking nonsense?” Leticia was somewhat surprised by Bai Ling’s current demeanor. She could actually argue with her; her progress was rapid.
“I learned from you.” The Sword Saint’s eyes flickered somewhat. Being close to the virtuous makes one virtuous, and being close to the corrupt makes one corrupt. Being close to Leticia, she naturally learned to be unreasonable.
Leticia was now in a dilemma. The book was in Bai Ling’s hands, and snatching it was definitely impossible. Arguing was also useless; Bai Ling was a stubborn blockhead and would never soften.
What should she do? Leticia pondered and quickly came up with a plan.
Why did she want to make a deal with Kira?
It wasn’t because she wanted to help her sister fulfill her wish, but because she wanted to know why Kira wanted this book so badly.
Once she got the answer, whether Kira got the book or not was not that important.
“Don’t you want to know why Kira wants this book?”
“If you can get the answer without giving the book to Kira, then I don’t object,” Bai Ling said, her finger lightly brushing over the yellowed pages. She was indeed a little curious why Kira cared so much about this book.
“Then I have a way.” Leticia smiled. As long as Bai Ling agreed, it would be easy to handle.
“Then you’ll come with me to see Kira. You hold the book, and when I get the answer, I’ll have the Hero Association ‘accidentally’ stumble upon our transaction.”
Was this harming her sister?
Leticia didn’t think so.
If Kira needed the original, then she really had no other options. But if Kira only needed the content of the book, it would be convenient.
Leticia had already memorized all the contents of the book. She would have plenty of opportunities to give the content to Kira in the future.
Let Bai Ling stare at her and Xue Er every day, without leaving their sight.
“…That’s a way.” Bai Ling admitted that she was somewhat persuaded.
Leticia’s method was very good, and with both of them present, the losses could be controlled within the smallest range.
“But you have to promise that no one will get hurt.”
But once the transaction was exposed, Kira’s side would inevitably try to escape. Bai Ling was worried that if Kira became impulsive, it would cause casualties on the human side.
She couldn’t accept that.
“Don’t worry, with me here, there won’t be any problems,” Leticia immediately patted her chest and guaranteed.
The Demon King never broke her word.
