Chapter 169, The Consequences of Teasing a Macho Man!

Locke gained Rhaenys's ability to control shadows, and his eyes gleamed slightly.

Renis continued enjoying her breakfast, and when she ate the chicken leg, Locke finally received a notification that his favorability rating had increased by 1.

[Ding! Successfully fed the witch!]

[Witch favorability +1]

[Witch Rhaenys Hill's current favorability is 100]

The witch Rhaenys Hill will do anything for you.

Finally, we've reached 100!

Locke looked at Renis with delight.

Renis was slightly stunned. She remembered that she was enjoying the food just a second ago, but now the food on her plate didn't taste good at all. The man in front of her looked delicious, and it should be very sweet.

'Strange, why does Locke Bemon seem to be surrounded by a saintly aura? He looks so delicious! I really want to take a bite.'

Locke overheard Renis's inner thoughts.

Locke raised the corners of his mouth. That's how it is. With 100% favorability, it's inevitable that some strange thoughts will arise, such as Eileen hanging on his arm this morning.

Black cat Irene stood on Locke's head, watching Renis warily.

If Rhaenys pounces on her, she will strike without mercy.

After all, Locke had already been marked by her; he was a servant she could bite.

"Director, there are some things I've always wanted to say, but I've lacked the courage. If you would forgive me, I'd like to say them now."

Locke looked intently at Renis.

Renis was slightly taken aback, and her heart suddenly raced.

'What? Has this kid taken the wrong medicine? Is he trying to confess his feelings to me? While I admit I am very charming, my heart belongs only to the noble Katerina, and I will never fall for anyone else.'

'Okay, if he's sincere enough, I wouldn't mind having a brief affair with him, but I won't give my heart away. I'll always love Katerina.'

'That's for the best, then Katerina won't fall for him just because he's so special, right?'

'It's better to let this kid be hopelessly addicted to meat and fish; Her Majesty the Queen wouldn't be interested in such a superficial man.'

In just a few seconds, a wicked plan had already formed in Renis's mind.

Locke was greatly shocked by this.

"Alright, tell me, and I'll forgive you."

Renis said calmly, her expression completely unlike the complex emotions she felt inside.

"Just tell me already. I know you've been holding back for a long time. Someone as naive as you is easily deceived by my beautiful appearance and develops feelings for me; I understand."

“Well… actually, Chief, I promised Rebecca that I would complete her soul. Recently, I finally found a clue. Part of Rebecca’s soul is hidden in Mrs. Freya. I hope that you can promise me that I can use Mrs. Freya to complete Rebecca’s soul.”

Locke said with a serious expression.

"it is good."

As soon as Renis finished speaking, she realized that Locke hadn't confessed his feelings at all.

"Wait, what did you say?"

"Thank you, Director."

Locke caught the key words, even those that Renis uttered while she was confused.

Renis was surprised that Locke had discovered the special connection between Mrs. Freya and Rebecca, but she didn't want to lose Freya for the time being.

Yet, for some reason, she felt an inability to refuse Locke.

Is this all you wanted to tell me?

Renis looked at Locke.

Locke nodded emphatically. "Yes, that's it."

“That demon might turn on its master after it becomes stronger. Are you sure you want to help her? Actually, you can ask me for something else.”

Renis raised an eyebrow and deliberately unbuttoned two buttons, revealing her deep cleavage.

"It's really hot, isn't it?"

Eileen narrowed her eyes and patted Locke's head with her paw.

Locke immediately regained his senses, averting his gaze from the abyss, and said in a serious tone,

"Chief, I only want Mrs. Freya."

Renis hadn't expected the boy to remain so composed even after she had given such an obvious hint.

'Where did the problem lie? I always felt Locke was deliberately trying to please me. I don't believe he doesn't like me. Oh well, there's plenty of time.'

A smile appeared on Renis's face.

"Mrs. Freya's matter is a bit troublesome. It requires a special and strange object, but since you've asked, how could I refuse? After all, you're one of my very capable subordinates. How about this, come upstairs tonight and I'll give it to you."

Hmm? That sounds a bit dangerous.

"it is good."

Locke agreed to Renis's proposal.

"Go and inform Sieg and the others to come to a meeting and discuss how to find Her Majesty the Queen's assassin."

"Renes said."

Locke nodded and left the office.

"Locke, are you going out tonight?"

"Eileen asked."

"Of course, this is a necessary sacrifice to make Rebecca stronger."

Locke said.

"?"

Eileen narrowed her eyes.

"I will send my clone."

Locke said.

Eileen nodded slightly. "Okay."

Locke went to the investigators' offices on the second floor and called several familiar colleagues to a meeting.

They entered Renis's office, where Renis had already reverted to her usual unapproachable demeanor.

"Her Majesty the Queen has been assassinated. What are your thoughts on this? Do you have any suspicious targets in mind?"

Renis looked at everyone.

Sieg, who was closest, answered first, "Chief, I think this was premeditated. The murderer knew that Her Majesty the Queen was going to the West End to visit the workers."

"Nonsense, next one."

Renis rolled her eyes at Sieg.

Robson said nervously, "Could it be someone from the Cult of Light?"

"Explain your reasoning."

Renis looked at Robson with satisfaction.

Robson described the battle that took place that day, and then concluded, "Only the higher-ups of the Church of Light have the strength to fight Bishop Norb to a draw."

Renis nodded slightly. "Yes, are there any other analyses?"

"This looks like a clear frame-up. Why would Aidenburg send someone to assassinate Her Majesty the Queen? Is it because we restricted their imports?"

"Dim said."

Angela nodded. "I also think we shouldn't hastily conclude that it was the work of the Church of Light."

"What about Locke? What do you think?"

Renis looked at Locke, who had remained silent.

"I'm thinking about the one who appeared later. She doesn't seem to have any connection with the Church of Light, and the magic she uses seems to be forest-based. What kind of monster could she be?"

Locke said.
