Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

"What they promised me is the greatest treasure of my life."

His gaze seemed to pierce through space, as if he had thought of something, filled with tenderness, which made Elufina understand what the other party had promised him.

Should I laugh or cry? In the end, my enemy actually used me to turn his subordinates against him, but that was the last thing I could give him.

"you..."

"Nana, haven't you figured out what to do yet? If you still don't have a solution, then I'll tell you."

"I already told you to shut up. You just need to tell me how you contact them. I don't need you to talk about taking action or not. That's my problem to consider, not yours."

He looked slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected such an answer, but when he saw the struggle on Elufina's face, Elisil suddenly smiled.

"It seems that I do have a place in your heart. In that case, I should be content."

The man who had been sitting cross-legged shifted to a more comfortable position and sat down again, his gaze falling on Elufina with a strange expression. "Do you think they would trust me so much? In the end, I'm just cannon fodder for them. They actually have other tricks up their sleeves."

Elufina smiled slightly. "Of course we know. We've been monitoring the woman Yukine brought back ever since she came in. Did she really think she was hiding so well?"

"Huh? You mean the woman that woman brought? No, that's not right. I had contact with people from the Demon King's Castle a long time ago. It couldn't have been her back then."

"Varied...."

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Princess Consort has been poisoned."

Volume 10 The Reviving Demon God: Chapter 13 Another Guard Commander

As Elufena entered the bedroom, Lin Xueyin hurriedly headed in another direction. It was the rats she had attracted that she wanted to deal with herself.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

Along the way, the maids were a little puzzled as to why the princess would personally come to the place where the maids lived. But then they thought that since one of the maids was brought by the princess herself, it was not surprising that she came here.

"I didn't expect the princess to be so approachable. When we greeted her, she returned the greeting with such a kind smile."

Although she was filled with confusion, Lin Xueyin still maintained a smile, at least in front of the innocent people. However, the sudden appearance of a group of guards in front of her made her less happy.

Who are you?

Seeing a guard drive the other maids out of Cono's bedroom, Lin Xueyin's heart tightened. Had she given herself away and been discovered? This would be troublesome. There were some things Nana didn't want others to know.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Her words lacked the respect of those who had spoken before, but Lin Xueyin, preoccupied with her own thoughts, failed to notice. She simply pushed aside the guards blocking her way and entered through the door.

Sure enough, the captain of the guards had already drawn his sword, seemingly ready to kill Cono on the spot at any moment.

"Stop it, all of you! Who are you? Who gave you permission to come here and attack my maid?"

Kono looked up and saw Lin Xueyin push the door open and enter. The next second, he lowered his head, and the complex emotion that flashed in his eyes was not seen by Lin Xueyin.

"I'm asking you, why did you attack my friend? What did she do wrong?"

Lin Xueyin didn't want others to get involved, so she assigned Ke Nuo a title: a friend brought by the Princess. She instructed him to keep a low profile, no matter how many questions he had. He could report directly to her, which would also allow her to ascertain the extent of what these people knew.

As for the other maids who hadn't yet left, they stopped when they saw the princess arrive. They also wanted to know how the princess's friend had managed to attract these guards, and even send a commander to cause her trouble.

“This humble servant, Claires, is the commander of His Majesty the Demon King’s guards. Today, while on duty, someone discovered that this maid was secretly associating with some people, so I came here to investigate.”

"Just because you found out she was seeing other people, you have to be so forceful in questioning her. Who gave you the courage?"

With her almond-shaped eyes wide open, Lin Xueyin realized that the other party had not yet obtained any concrete evidence. Therefore, driving these people away at this time was the best outcome. As long as she could find out more about the matter later, Nana would be in charge of deciding whether they lived or died.

"Your Highness, this matter concerns the safety of the Demon King's Castle. Even if the Demon King himself comes, he cannot..."

"Hmph, then let the Demon King come to me personally. I don't believe Nana would cause me trouble over something like this."

Upon hearing Lin Xueyin's arrogant remarks, a flash of anger crossed the eyes of the guard commander named Krels, but she quickly concealed it.

"Your Highness, please consider the safety of His Majesty the Demon King. If anything happens in the Demon King's Castle, it will be His Majesty's loss of face. We hope the Queen can understand and hand this maid over to us."

"Hmph, I'll leave it to you. Why should I? I'll let you off the hook since it's your duty. Now, all of you, go."

“Punishment, Your Highness. Although we are guards of the Demon King’s Castle, we are directly under His Majesty the Demon King. Even Your Highness has no right to punish us.”

Although the words were to the point, Lin Xueyin still sensed a hint of resentment in the other person's tone, which seemed a bit off. If they had a problem with what she said, there was no need to be so angry.

However, her words still had some influence on others. As for herself, well, "If you think what I said is wrong, that's fine too. I'll go and talk to Nana myself and see if she'll side with you or with me."

"you..."

Just as he was about to erupt, he pulled back. "Your Highness, we are only doing our duty. We hope you can do us a favor."

Seeing that the other party had given in, Lin Xueyin pursed her lips and said, "Alright, I know you're just doing your duty. I'll talk to Nana about this myself. There's no need for you to trouble yourselves any further. You should just leave now."

"Your Highness, we need you to speak with His Majesty personally before we can release them. Alternatively, we can take them with us first, and you can go to the Demon King to obtain the order. We will then..."

"How dare you! I told you, this matter ends here. I will personally lead people to see Nana. Don't you understand? Or do you think I, the Holy Priest, am too easy to bully?"

The staff appeared in her hand instantly, instantly creating a tense atmosphere in the room. Krels frowned deeply, rapidly weighing the current situation in her mind.

"Your Highness, perhaps... perhaps we should do it this way."

Seeing Lin Xueyin's furious state, Krels was also a little nervous. After all, it was common knowledge that His Majesty the Demon King favored her. If she really started a fight with them, she would probably be the one to suffer.

Left with no other choice, he could only apologize first and then find another opportunity to talk to the Demon King about the rest. Having made up his mind, he stepped forward to Lin Xueyin's side.

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. We'll leave now, we'll leave now..." A black light suddenly appeared from the sleeve, and in a blink of an eye, it landed on Lin Xueyin's slender forearm.

The venomous fangs of the small black snake were still deeply embedded in the girl's delicate skin. Shocked, Lin Xueyin stared at the guard captain before her, then stumbled backward and fell against the wall.

"Who...who are you? Cough cough..."

Feeling the venom inside her body constantly damaging her organs, and the burning sensation constantly stimulating her senses, Lin Xueyin angrily used magic to burn the venomous snake that had ambushed her to ashes.

However, the captain of the guards in front of her had already arrived, looking at her smugly.

"Claires, you promised me you wouldn't harm Lin Xueyin and the others, but you broke your promise."

Kono frantically pulled Kress aside and stood in front of Lin Xueyin, glaring angrily at the guards who were gradually surrounding them.

"You all need to run away quickly."

Lin Xueyin waved her hand, and a holy light fell on the panicked maids around her, shields were erected, allowing them to escape the attacks that were meant to kill them.

That's a break in the chapter. The next chapter will be all about the drama queen again, hehe. Poisoned? Impossible! Never in my life! Don't ask, the answer is there's a potion! ╭(╯^╰)╮. Is this a spoiler?

Emmm, okay, the author is also afraid of being bombarded with comments or private messages from readers, which is heartbreaking. Moreover, some might even involve family members, which makes the author even more heartbroken. So, I'll just leave it at that and give away some spoilers.

Volume 10: The Reviving Demon God: Chapter 14 Playing You Once (Two chapters released together)

With a kick to the waist of the girl who had collapsed to the ground, watching her tumble like a broken doll to another corner, Claires let out a long, hearty laugh.

"It's all your fault! You're the only one in the Demon King's eyes. You're useless at everything, yet you still have all of His Majesty's favor. What skills do you have? What abilities do you have? Why do you deserve the Demon King's exclusive affection?"

Clutching her waist, Lin Xueyin struggled to her feet, only to feel her legs buckle and she collapsed back to the ground. The poison raged through her body, and a trace of sweet, metallic blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful. The Demon King's most beloved concubine is lying on the ground like this. The ground is so cold, it's really unfair to you to sit here like this. Don't you think so?"

A vicious kick landed on the staff that Lin Xueyin was using to prop herself up, causing her to fall to the ground again.

Seeing the girl's face gradually turn black, Claires felt even more gratified, especially when she saw the dark purple blood coughing up from her mouth due to the poison, which drove her even more insane.

"You lot, look at the pitiful state of this Demon King's favorite concubine, doesn't it make you feel good?"

"Why, cough cough, what exactly did Nana do to offend you?"

Clutching her chest, Lin Xueyin struggled to sit up. Looking at the arrogant guards in front of her, she never imagined that she would be attacked by these guards inside the Demon King's Castle.

"What did you do wrong to me? Of course the Demon King did nothing wrong to me. It was you, you."

She frantically tried to attack again, but was held tightly by Kono. "Claires, what did you promise me before that you wouldn't lay a hand on Yukine and the others? Now, what are you doing?"

"Did I lay a hand on her? I only used my foot. Besides, you should know that if I hadn't, she would have killed us. What, I can't even defend myself?"

"Cough cough, you guys are actually together? I was so stupid to believe you."

Looking at the two women entangled before her in despair, Lin Xueyin smiled bitterly, perhaps for her own naiveté, or perhaps for her own foolishness. The trust she had given so easily had only resulted in betrayal.

"Of course you're stupid, and pitifully stupid. Let me tell you, this woman is an undercover agent that our Temple of Curses specifically sent to your side. How about that? Didn't expect that, did you?"

Seeing the girl's pained expression, Claires laughed heartily, gently pushing Kono aside and slowly walking to the girl who was sitting on a chair against the wall.

The longsword was already drawn, its sharp gleam landing on the tip of the girl's nose. Looking at her fearless expression, he felt somewhat bored.

"Little girl, your life or death is in your hands. Beg for mercy obediently, and you might just save your life."

Coughing up strands of dark purple blood again, Lin Xueyin sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? Begging for mercy will only lead to a more miserable death. Why did you join the Temple of Curses? I don't believe the Demon King didn't investigate you."

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and of course you will investigate. However, because of you, it is all because of you. Your existence has misled Your Majesty's wisdom. You are the biggest stumbling block to the development of our demon race. Only by killing you will Your Majesty turn your attention back to where it belongs."

As he spoke, he was about to stab her with his sword, but the longsword that entered her body did not cause Lin Xueyin any pain. Drops of alluring crimson blood fell on the girl's horrified face.

"Xueyin, I'm sorry. If I had a choice, I think I would choose to be with you."

Why...?

The sword tip that pierced through her body was Ke Nuo, who was protecting Lin Xueyin beneath her. Her face was contorted with pain, yet also held a hint of relief. For her, perhaps death was the best end.

"I have always been grateful to you. These days have been the best time of my life. If I could, I would like it to last forever."

"You, you can do it, you've always been able to."

Lin Xueyin struggled to hold the girl in her arms, watching her eyes gradually lose their color, and also watching her relief after being freed.

"You idiot, to die for a woman like that, you're going to drive me crazy."

The sword tip, piercing through the body, was rapidly withdrawn from the girl's body, leaving a trail of alluring crimson, which also covered Lin Xueyin's somewhat darkened pretty face with a sticky red liquid.

"You, you bastard!" He was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of black liquid. He forced himself to get up, but he couldn't stand up.

"Hmph, even if she takes the sword for you, you'll still die."

"My lord, our orders are to capture the queen alive. If we kill her, it will be difficult to explain to the high priest."

He was about to make another move, but was stopped by his subordinates. He hadn't had time to react before, and the holy priest had almost died under the commander's sword. If he couldn't stop him this time, he would probably be beaten to death by the priest.

"Priest." Suddenly remembering his purpose, he angrily sheathed his sword.

"In that case, take her with you and hurry to the shrine to report back."

"Even if I have to die, I should at least know why I died."
