My incarnation is becoming a global calamity.

Chapter 45 The Arrogant Princess

Will the baptism proceed smoothly?

Su Tu keenly grasped the information that was useful to him.

However, he didn't show much emotion on the surface; he simply picked up a water glass and poured a glass of water for the princess.

Eve took the water, looking a little surprised, but didn't say anything more.

Su Tu watched as the other person took a sip before calmly asking the most crucial question.

When does the baptism ceremony begin?

This body is known as a calamity, and the baptism is closely related to calamity.

Therefore, it is not abrupt for him to ask this question given his current status; rather, it is quite reasonable.

Eve listened without any doubt.

Or rather, she also attached great importance to this baptism ceremony.

"My father said that the ceremony would be held within three days of finding the crown."

Her eyes were lowered, her voice was soft, and there was a faint sadness in her tone.

But soon, she returned to normal, and that familiar smile was still on her face.

The moment was very brief, but Su Tu still managed to capture it in his eyes.

"Strange, it seems that from the very first time we met, she would occasionally reveal this kind of emotion. Why is that?" He recalled the past in his mind and felt puzzled.

Logically speaking, as the empire's only princess, who has been showered with love and affection since childhood, such a situation should not have occurred.

Could something have happened recently that has made her feel sad?

But what kind of thing could possibly be done...?

Suddenly, Su Tu recalled his earlier guess.

I had made a guess when I was asking Eve about the number of calamities in the capital.

There must also be someone in the royal family who suffers misfortune, and that person must be an important one.

Could it be that this calamity is actually Eve's... relative?

Su Tu did have suspicions that the calamity was Eve.

Based on my interactions with her, it's true that she occasionally shows sadness.

But most of them are not much different from an ordinary, sunny, and cheerful girl.

Sometimes, Su Tu even felt that the sunlight was too dazzling.

So no matter what, he couldn't associate the word "misfortune" with a girl who maintained a cheerful personality.

After all, his current identity is Calamity, and he can deeply experience the negative emotions brought about by Calamity.

The alienation of the people around him, the desolation of the prison cell, and the pain of losing his freedom.

How can these emotions make a cheerful person remain cheerful?

This is also the main reason why he excluded Eve immediately after learning that someone in the royal family would become a calamity.

If Eve's relatives become a calamity, it would quite fit Eve's current situation.

Suppressing the urge to directly ask the person's identity, Su Tu silently picked up the water on the table and took a sip.

"Your Highness, since the ceremony is just around the corner, shouldn't I... take care of things here?"

His meaning was clear: he wanted to quit.

His primary objective now is to distance himself from the witch's vortex.

"Can!"

To Su Tu's surprise, Eve agreed very readily after hearing his words.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

But before he could even get excited, the classic twist came.

"I also need to go to the holy site during the baptism ceremony. We'll go together and come back together to continue investigating the body."

Her eyes were bright, her tone was light and cheerful, and her voice was full of youthful energy.

Su Tu thought that the sadness she felt just now had never happened.

Of course, he did not forget his main purpose.

"Your Highness, what I mean is..."

Seeing the princess's expression, Su Tu felt that it would be easier for her to understand if he spoke more bluntly.

But before he could finish speaking again, Eve ruthlessly interrupted him.

"Mr. Su Tu, I understand what you mean. I will truthfully report your contributions to the empire to my father."

After saying this, she ignored Su Tu's attempts to persuade her to stay, stood up, and left.

As Su Tu watched Eve gently close the door, his brows furrowed slightly.

"This is like they want to use me as a laborer."

He didn't believe that he was truly the only one capable of leading this operation.

Putting aside everything else, the empire currently has quite a few capable people, and any one of them could easily replace Su Tu's job.

Not to mention that I haven't done much since I got here.

Apart from this mission to find the crown, he takes every opportunity to have a break.

Even so, why did this noble princess insist on having him serve as her assistant?

Could it be that you actually value this useless title of Calamity?

Su Tu felt that even if he burned all his brain cells, he still wouldn't be able to figure out the reason.

"Well, I guess this counts as freedom."

He sighed helplessly and decided to give up on thinking about the problem altogether.

As long as I do nothing, I should be able to avoid the witch's vortex.

From another perspective, he had finally left the room that had imprisoned him for a year and gained temporary freedom.

After the princess left, nothing much came of it.

Su Tu also successfully enjoyed a period of leisure.

The next morning, a knock on the door pulled Su Tu from his sleep into reality.

In a daze, he got out of bed and opened the door, only to find Eve, whom he had just met yesterday, standing in front of the room.

"What brings you here?"

Su Tu's tone remained calm, his expression showed little emotion, and he simply looked at the person in front of him with a calm gaze.

Eve was already used to Su Tu's tone.

Among the second sons of a duke, Su Tu is probably the only one who would speak to a princess in such a tone.

Even Su Tu's father, a duke of the empire, had to speak to the princess with utmost respect.

"Last night I had someone send the crown to my father, and he also had someone tell me that the baptism ceremony will be held tomorrow."

After hearing these words, Su Tu's expression remained unchanged, without the slightest alteration.

"I understand. I'll be there on time tomorrow."

He seemed to have forgotten the princess's invitation to go with him yesterday and wanted to go alone.

However, Eve directly corrected the error in his words.

"You're coming with me, don't forget."

The princess raised her neck, revealing an arrogant attitude in front of Su Tu for the first time.

Su Tu was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't because the other person was particularly beautiful, but because he simply couldn't get used to it.

"I see."

After a long silence, he finally uttered those four words.

Joy spread across Eve's face, and pride shone in her clear eyes.

It seems they won some kind of game.

"I'll come to find you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't go alone, or you'll be punished by the princess."

After saying that, she simply turned and left.

Su Tu was left standing there, completely bewildered.

After a long while, he sighed helplessly, went back to his room, and slowly closed the door.

"Let's arrange the avatars first."
