Chapter 150 : Sorry, Me Too
Chapter 150 : Sorry, Me Too
It seemed too late to get off the cart now.
The two had apparently been sent to quite an extraordinary place.
Although their vision was limited, they could observe the surroundings through the gaps.
The decorative style around them... it was undoubtedly the architecture of the noble temporary residence area.
At this moment, Yvonne's heart was extremely uneasy.
An unexpected situation had occurred.
Why was the First Prince here??
Why wasn't this impostor staying properly in the palace... but instead came to the relatively secluded temporary residence area, what was he planning—
Ampu was focused on writing something on the table.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the scratching of the pen tip on the rough paper,
A black raven perched by the window, tilting its head, seemingly waiting for him to finish writing.
Yvonne was so nervous for a reason.
Because according to the information Fillo had given her and Elsa earlier, the current Ampu was not the real person,
The real prince should have been kidnapped, and the current one was a substitute impostor, also the current Demon King—the minion of Ulo Bolos, the biggest antagonist in the early stages of the game.
In the game, Prince Ampu had been in a replaced state from his first appearance, but Yvonne, who had lived in this world for ten years, knew the original First Prince,
Although he seemed somewhat ordinary in all aspects compared to his younger siblings, he was a gentle big brother figure, a very nice gentleman. He had also taken good care of Yvonne,
When the rebellion incident broke out, he and Michel had pleaded for Duke Campbell—that is, her father, which earned her family a relatively decent exile punishment.
Ampu thought there was something fishy about this matter, so he had written to her, inquiring about the truth of that letter.
It was after that, he encountered misfortune,
Thinking carefully now, perhaps it was his in-depth investigation of the demon race that led to all this,
Emotionally and rationally, Ampu had been kind to her, and Yvonne felt she needed to repay this favor.
If she could find some evidence and information from this impostor, perhaps there would be a chance to uproot them and rescue the real First Prince.
After tying up the letter, the black raven flapped its wings and flew away.
After putting down the pen, Ampu unhurriedly stood up and walked towards the food cart.
"How long are you two planning to hide in such a small space?"
Standing in front of the food cart, he asked politely.
"............"
Click.
Pushing open the partition, Yvonne emerged from the food cart holding Elsa, and performed a royal curtsy.
Seeing the two, this prince revealed a smile,
"—I didn't expect the visitors to be the young lady of the Smollett family and the genius magic user miss, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Saying this, Ampu bowed very gentlemanly to the two, this inscrutable smile making Yvonne's hair stand on end.
"...I apologize for meeting you in this manner, Your Highness."
Yvonne responded unhurriedly,
No matter how shaken she was internally, she couldn't show it on her face.
While responding with verbal techniques, Yvonne pondered the current situation,
Generally speaking, encountering such infiltrating intruders, if it were other nobles, they would probably have already screamed and called their subordinates to tie them up for interrogation,
But Ampu didn't seem to have this intention.
However, possessing such extraordinary perception was quite unusual for Ampu, who was mediocre in magic.
"How about dining together?"
Ampu spread his hands and asked with a smile.
Elsa was somewhat surprised that this prince knew Little Evie, but thinking about it, Yvonne was after all a former fiancée, so in this sense, she was also Ampu's future sister-in-law, so it was natural for Ampu to know Yvonne.
"You're too kind."
Yvonne felt her smile was about to freeze on her face.
"Aren't you curious why Elsa and I are in such a place?"
Ampu shook his head and said with a smile:
"Hehe... not asking too many questions is the way of a gentleman. I think girls wouldn't like men who pry too much, right?"
That's the logic... but at least be a little suspicious!
Truly worthy of being that narcissistic prince's brother
A drop of cold sweat rolled down Yvonne's temple,
Although not as exaggerated as Michel was before, he was still a type that Yvonne found difficult to deal with.
Come to think of it, this impostor is acting quite well... maybe they can arrange for next year's Oz Kingdom Oscar statuette.
Accidentally stumbling into the enemy's lair was purely coincidental—
However, in the current situation, even if she said so, the other party might not necessarily believe it.
Sure enough, Ampu tilted his head, making a "?" expression.
"Actually... I came this time mainly to ask you... about the magic stone materials I asked you to collect last time, I wonder if you've finished? You know, given my current status, I can't easily enter the palace, so I could only use this method to see you. I hope Your Highness Ampu can forgive me."
"Ah, that... It's almost ready, I can mail it to you in a while. If you hadn't mentioned it, I was just about to write to inform you of the progress."
"Your Highness Ampu is truly thoughtful."
In fact, Yvonne had not asked Ampu to do anything, so these words were a complete trap, and sure enough, he took the bait.
Elsa observed the ominous black mist on Ampu's body with her peripheral vision.
At the relief agency, although Fillo was also a demon, she didn't have anything similar on her body.
And now, the black mist on Ampu was getting thicker and thicker, and the sense of pressure was increasing accordingly.
It was evident that although he was treating them courteously on the surface, he harbored killing intent towards her and Little Evie.
If there was any trace exposing the purpose of the two, he would eliminate them.
Elsa gripped Yvonne's hand slightly, indicating she was ready to use magic at any time.
Yvonne gripped back, signaling her not to act rashly.
She was her trump card, and unless absolutely necessary, Yvonne didn't want to reveal it.
Moreover, things hadn't reached the worst stage yet,
Although meeting the antagonistic forces of the game directly without preparation, Yvonne also had her own methods.
"—Ulo Bolos."
She spoke a name.
Yvonne was taking a gamble.
Gambling on her memory of the plot,
She spoke the name of that Demon King.
For ordinary people, this would just be an ordinary name,
But—for those 'confidants' who were qualified to know the Demon King's true name, this name was undoubtedly a heavy bomb, equivalent to 'Hail Hydra'.
"...How do you know this name??"
Sure enough, upon hearing this name, the expression on the impostor prince's face became quite spectacular.
The effect was excellent.
Yvonne imitated the movement techniques she had learned from Fillo earlier, pulling Elsa down to kneel on one knee, performing a demon salute to the other party.
"—Because we are also servants of Lord Ulo, Lord Ampu."
