So I'm a sheep.

“There is a master interrogator who has long since retired. I will personally ask him to come out of retirement.”

“Bring him here before interrogating Vivian. I want to see if he’s professional enough.”

"As ordered!"

Volume 1: Chapter 264 Filling in the Gaps

"Lady Saliye, can you swear to the goddess that the princess's disappearance has nothing to do with you?"

“Speaker, if you say it has nothing to do with me, then it has nothing to do with me. It’s impossible to swear an oath.”

"His Majesty Clark has sworn to his ancestors that Princess Vivian's disappearance has nothing to do with him,"

"In this world, the only ones who can kidnap a princess without leaving a trace are Your Majesty and you."

Garfield said angrily, "You're being so perfunctory with me, it's hard not to be suspicious."

"Wrong, wrong."

The little girl shook her head repeatedly: "Besides me and His Majesty Clark, there is another demon who also has this ability."

"..."

"How can Orina, a succubus who serves her lord with her beauty, be compared to you and His Majesty?"

"Your Excellency Speaker, do not underestimate her."

Sasha said seriously, "Olina's strength is not much inferior to mine. Her feigned friendship with His Majesty must be part of a big conspiracy."

Seeing Garfield's surprised and uncertain expression, Sasha pressed on: "Speaking of which, Olena, this favored concubine, hasn't made a public appearance for a while. I wonder what she's been busy with lately."

"Sigh, I hope Princess Vivian's disappearance has nothing to do with her. It's better for her to fall into the hands of anyone than the devil."

Upon hearing this, Garfield finally couldn't continue spending time at the church.

"Your Excellency Saliye, I must take my leave now!"

"Please go ahead."

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the group of arcane sorcerers leave.

'It wasn't easy, but I finally managed to fool them.'

Vivian is still holding on, trying to avoid a fierce conflict with the Orphan Council before she has conclusive evidence.

Once the Church and the Arcane Council officially clash, Clark and Olina will inevitably get involved.

If I were to face three opponents at once...

Hmm, the pressure is a bit too much.

'Once I have conclusive evidence, I'll request support from my superior. The Emperor of the Arcane Empire is having an affair with a succubus, and the Speaker of the Arcane Council has taken on a demon apprentice...'

'If the top floors are like this, you can imagine what it's like for the upper, middle, and lower floors,'

'I don't think the arcane mages are very capable; from now on, let the warriors be in charge.'

.................................................. ..

“Saliye, Saliye!”

"Hmm? Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

This 'ally' came to visit with several of his men, but the little girl's attitude was indifferent, and she didn't seem particularly happy.

To be honest, without Alyssa, Sasha would hardly have noticed Vivian, this hidden demon.

Logically, I should thank her, however...

'There's something strange about Alyssa. This time, she seemed even more naive (simplistic) than last time we met.'

"Sally, you always seem so cold to me."

"Is there?"

"Yes, yes, we're good friends. I came all this way to see you, why aren't you happy at all?"

"..."

'When did our relationship become so good?'

The little girl muttered to herself, but she didn't want to embarrass Elisa in front of her subordinates.

"I just got a lecture from Speaker Garfield, so even seeing you, Alyssa, doesn't make me very happy."

"What did he nag you about that made you feel so bad?"

"Vivian went missing, and the Speaker actually suspects I did it... really..."

"It was you who did it."

Upon hearing this, not only Sasha, but also several of Alyssa's subordinates changed their expressions drastically.

"..."

"Your Highness, there are some things that should not be said carelessly."

“I’m not making this up. When we were talking about Vivian that day, didn’t you vehemently denounce her tainted bloodline?”

"You asked me to invite her to church so that you could judge her in the name of the goddess, but she didn't come."

"Then......"

"What nonsense!"

The little girl coldly interrupted Alyssa: "Princess, who gave you permission to say that?"

“Saliye, I actually regret acting as your middleman that day.”

"Although we have a close friendship, I shouldn't help you harm others."

"Listen to me, Vivian does have demonic blood, that's true, but she's a good..."

"Hahahahahaha!"

Sasha pointed at the princess and burst into laughter: "I know, so that's how it is."

"You and your father are such good actors. It's a shame you've been playing an unfilial daughter all this time, but at this crucial moment, you finally couldn't hold back anymore."

"Trying to help Clark frame me? No way!"

"I swear to the goddess, I have never told you that Vivian has any demonic blood!"

"You, you are an angel..."

Alyssa looked horrified: "How dare you lie in the name of the goddess?"

"Guards! Show them out!!!"

...............................................

'I wanted to find an ally, but I ended up jumping into a pit myself.'

After Alyssa left, a bitter smile appeared on the little girl's face.

The eldest princess was a trap that Clark dug, which was originally intended for Garfield, but he ended up filling it in for him.

'So be it. At least I did kidnap Vivian, and in the end, she didn't frame me.'

'Garfield probably won't let this go easily after he finds out what happened today. While he's no match for me, he's certainly qualified to interfere in the fight between Clark and me.'

'...'

The little girl pondered for a while and felt that even if she jumped into the pit, her chances of winning were still quite high.

As long as he can stall until Vivian confesses, he will have a good reason to ask his superior for support.

At that time, the Arcane Emperor, the Succubus, the Speaker, and six or seven Archangels working together will all be blasted into dust.

"Has Pope Alex returned?" Sasha asked a bishop in charge.

"His Holiness said that he should be back tonight, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"Oh"

The little girl nodded: "As soon as he got back, I asked him to come see me."

"Yes!"

As we waited patiently, night gradually enveloped the world.

"Lady Saliye, I'm back!"

"Oh, Alex, you've had a long day. Is this the master next to you?"

"I have successfully completed my mission."

His Holiness the Pope nudged the old man beside him: "Quickly, introduce yourself to Lady Saliye."

"Hehehe, I am the master! This time, I have been invited by His Holiness the Pope to return to serve the Church!"

"That's fantastic, I'm working for a top-notch angel like you this time."

"Gaga gaga, I can die in peace now!"

"..."

'This master looks so sleazy, and besides, are you a duck quacking like that?'

Volume 1: Chapter 265 The Imprint of Thought

With sparse hair, cloudy eyes, and a hunched back, he would let out a sharp, 'caw caw' laugh as he spoke.

'Since he was brought by Alex, he must be quite capable.'

'But he's been retired for so long, how much of his original skill can he still retain?'

"Master, what do you do at home on weekdays after you retire?"

"You haven't lost any of your skills, have you?"

"Hehehe, I usually grow flowers and plants, and occasionally come back to give some pointers to the younger generation."

The old man scratched his head: "It's a pity that young people these days have changed their mindset. They only care about speed and don't treat their work as an art at all."
