Chapter 56 Your Highness, you... are you a calamity?
Chapter 56 Your Highness, you... are you a calamity?
After considering this guess, Su Tu frowned deeply.
Actually, he had suspected before that Eve was the calamity of the royal family.
However, lacking sufficient evidence, he kept his speculation to himself and made no statement.
This time, he still didn't have enough evidence, but he felt that this guess was incredibly close to the truth.
When he first met Eve, she said some strange things.
At that time, he was thinking about other things and didn't think about it in detail.
In retrospect, all of this was actually traceable.
If she is truly a calamity, then she will inevitably bear a lot of pressure, her heart filled with confusion and helplessness.
Su Tu was the first person in the empire to become a calamity despite being a member of a duke's family. He had experienced a lot but had not done anything heinous.
Eve will definitely be curious about him.
Asking questions like "Calamities shouldn't destroy the world" seemed quite normal given her state of mind at the time.
Confusion, curiosity, and loneliness were the reasons that drove her to take the initiative to contact Su Tu.
When the two met several more times afterward, her strange behavior became more understandable.
Furthermore, the melancholy expression on the king's face when they first met seemed to confirm Su Tu's guess.
As the empire's only princess, Eve received abundant love and care from both the king and the princes.
If this princess becomes a calamity, then the king's melancholy expression seems reasonable.
Thinking of this, Su Tu let out a soft breath, and he was 90% certain that the royal family's calamity was Eve.
However, to avoid any misunderstanding, Su Tu decided to find an opportunity to ask in person.
Judging from Eve's recent behavior, she still relies on him quite a bit, like the trust between two kindred spirits.
Unfortunately, Su Tu knew he was a rather selfish person, so he could only choose to betray that trust.
But getting the information you want from Eve is quite simple.
After confirming that the information he wanted existed in his memories, Su Tu did not stay in the avatar any longer.
Now disguised as a fugitive from the Royal Scouts, it is not appropriate for him to appear and carry out the third phase of the mission.
Anyway, the mission description is to deliver Ashir's exclusive magical artifact to that Calamity.
Whether it was handed over personally by the avatar was not mentioned in the mission description.
If it's not mentioned, then it means it's not needed.
Furthermore, since the fan is currently in Su Tu's main body's hands, he plans to use his main body's hands to complete the third stage of the mission.
After setting up the game avatar as a host, Su Tu's consciousness returned to his original body.
He opened his eyes again and found himself in an empty room.
He gently shook his head, taking a moment to assess his physical condition.
After this short period of rest, my body has clearly recovered a lot and I am not as tired as I was at the beginning.
But if you're looking to exercise for an extended period, forget about it for the next couple of days.
He got out of bed, stood on the floor, stretched leisurely, and yawned lazily before feeling much more refreshed.
Now, he was going to find Eve and ask her about the calamity in person.
If the royal family's calamity is truly hers, then let her try binding herself with Aishir's exclusive magical artifact.
The maid had already mentioned that Eve had come into contact with the fan.
However, he did not receive a notification that the mission was completed.
So this time, I'm trying to bind her, which can be considered an experiment.
If it succeeds on the first try, that would be even better.
However, if there is still no notification of task completion after binding, then the royal family's calamity can be ruled out.
Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that Eve is a calamity.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at Eve's room.
Just as she raised her hand to knock, the door opened, and the person who opened it was, of course, Eve's personal maid.
When she saw Su Tu, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly recovered and bowed to Su Tu.
"Mr. Su Tu".
Su Tu nodded in agreement, silently lowered his hand, and asked:
"Is Her Highness in her room? I need to speak with her about something."
The maid shook her head. "Her Highness the Princess just went out; she should be outside the palace."
After learning where Eve had gone, he didn't linger there any longer and turned to leave.
Stepping out of the palace, a gentle breeze caressed my face, and an indescribable sense of comfort welled up within me.
The palace is located at the highest point of the holy site, and even standing at the entrance, you can see many beautiful views.
"Su Tu? Weren't you resting? What are you doing here?"
Just as he was lost in thought, Eve's voice came from beside him, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
Eve, dressed in a gorgeous princess dress, was slowly walking towards him.
The faint trace of weariness and sorrow between his brows had not yet dissipated.
Seeing her like this, Su Tu became even more certain that his guess was correct.
Only calamity could make a princess show such an expression.
Of course, Su Tu didn't make a fuss about it on the surface.
He simply stood there silently, observing Eve without making a sound, trying to find more clues.
"I have something I need to discuss with you."
Su Tu paused slightly, then continued in a calm tone:
"It's about calamity."
Eve, who had been managing a weak smile, lost that smile the moment she heard the word "calamity."
Her gaze darted away, and her tone became hesitant.
"Um...didn't you just get baptized? Why are you talking to me about these things?"
Seeing her like this, Su Tu was now 100% certain.
The calamity for the royal family is none other than this princess who is showered with love and affection.
He could even imagine how much pressure the princess would suffer after becoming a calamity.
It's fair to say that the more cheerful she was before, the more pressure she's under now.
From this perspective, almost no calamity has endured more pressure than this princess.
Whether it's her status or the love from her father and brothers, everything will turn into pressure after she becomes a calamity.
This situation fully meets the conditions for the third phase of the mission.
Su Tu subtly adjusted his emotions, staring intently into Eve's eyes, revealing a serious expression for the first time in front of her.
"Your Highness, I've come here simply to ask you one thing: are you... like me?"
He did not directly utter the word "calamity".
This topic is already very heavy; it's no different from stabbing someone in the chest.
Perhaps not using the word "calamity" would have made the princess feel a little better.
Of course, even so, his words still greatly shocked Eve.
He stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
After a long while, she came to her senses and looked into Su Tu's eyes with a melancholy expression.
"How did you know?"
