Princess' personal painter

Chapter 25 Wargames and Hidden Visitors

"Your Majesty, the city under our leadership is being surrounded by an unknown number of enemy troops, what should we do?"

"You are the marshal, please decide for yourself."

"Then I'll order [-] soldiers and horses, and send out troops to fight. The soldiers are precious and fast... What? There's an ambush..."

"Heh heh heh, I finally killed you this time, let's get out!"

"Bah, you dead fox... I was careless this time, and I won't next time..." Halfway through speaking to Xing Tong, who played the role of "Marshal" of the opposing faction in the game, Dai'er suddenly came to her senses and turned her head. Staring at Irene beside her, she suddenly shouted, "Irene! You..."

"What's the matter? My dear Marshal..."

Reaching out to take the badge representing "Marshal" in front of Dai'er, Irene blinked innocently.

"Such a large number of enemy troops have entered our territory. As the 'Prime Minister', you must have concealed the information!"

"Yes, the marshal's prestige is too high, posing a threat to the royal power. Our majesty the king quietly instructed me to get rid of you if I have the opportunity. Although I can't bear it, but the king's order is hard to break." Irene glanced at the badge On the back of his face, he stuck out his tongue playfully, "Sacrificing one's life for the country is a lesson in loyalty... Well, it seems that His Majesty the wise King sometimes makes mistakes in decision-making."

Beside the two, Yingxin, who played the role of "king", couldn't help laughing when she heard Irene's explanation, and she covered her mouth and laughed quietly.

"...Who will lead the army after I'm out? Many strategy cards can't be used!" Dai'er said angrily, "...what if I lose the game!"

Irene pretended to be serious: "Please rest assured, these 'strategic locations' you have laid down will definitely be put to good use. We will inherit the will of the Marshal and win this war!"

Dai'er said relentlessly: "If you lose, you have to compensate me!"

It seems that this competitive princess has a lot of resentment about this.

"We've played five rounds, and you haven't lost a single round. You're already very good." On the other side, Janet, who played the king of the opposing faction, glanced at the strategic map in front of her and said with a wry smile, "Still Yes, your advantage is already so great, and with Irene here, you can't lose..."

"...Bah, I don't want it, or we'll just lose." Evie, who was a "priest" in the same camp but was basically making soy sauce, muttered in a low voice.

It seems that this little princess who is really not good at fighting wits is still brooding over the fiasco of the previous rounds.

"I feel that Miss Dai'er is very skilled. Have you ever played this game before?"

The one who put down the cards distressedly and showed a curious expression was Sisyana who played the role of the "Prime Minister" of the other camp.In the early stage of this game, the successive defeats made her have the illusion that the two hostile guys were monsters. Even if she used the advantage of the "big hero" to hide her identity, it was difficult to gain an advantage. She, who wanted to show her identity, felt quite frustrated.

The person who proposed to play this board game was Sisyana.

This is a popular board game among aristocratic boys that combines war chess and cards.

Those who participate in the game are divided into two camps, playing the roles of "king", "prime minister", "marshal", and "priest" respectively.Among them, each identity has a different strategy card. In addition to the faction victory, each character has its own different victory conditions. In addition, there is also a hidden identity of "Hero" who needs to eliminate everyone to win. That is to say, there will also be intrigue within the camp, and it can be regarded as a rather brain-intensive game.

Sisyana watched her brothers and sisters play when she was a child, and when she wanted to try, the two sisters were already married, and they couldn't find a suitable playmate due to their identities. The opportunity to play games together is finally fulfilled.

However, the people who showed their talents in this game became Irene and Dai'er.

It goes without saying that Eileen, who is eccentric herself, is good at this kind of game, but Dai'er is so good that it is beyond the expectations of others.Let her win several rounds in a row, everyone had to say that they were a little depressed, so when they saw those people winking at each other in private, Sisyana guessed what was going to happen.

The girl's petty temper came and went quickly, and the people who teamed up to blackmail Dai'er were quite relieved at this time, but the person involved didn't realize the reason why they became the target of public criticism.I saw the girl screamed strangely, and rushed towards Irene who was about to play a card, saying: "You guy who killed a loyal minister by mistake, I think you are the one who has the heart of disobedience, let me check your identity……"

She was caught off guard, and the girl's soft body suddenly pressed against her through the thin silk pajamas.Irene was stunned for a moment, feeling her nose was hot, and quickly asked the people around her for help: "Your Majesty, the evil spirit of the deceased marshal has entangled me, what should I do, quickly let the priest purify this evil spirit!"

"Master Priest..."

Evie, who was called, was naturally "unresponsible", and Yingxin hesitated to look at the people around her, then blushed, and tried her best to put on an imposing voice and scolded: "The evil spirits are scattered!" Although the voice was confident Insufficient, she still made a practical action - hugged Dai'er who was lying on Irene, and pulled her away with brute force.

Being tightly wrapped around her waist, Dai'er, who was still unwilling to reconcile, simply changed the target of the attack to Yingxin, and stretched out her hand to pinch the face of the person behind her, but almost touched the ear of the elf girl, frightened Yingxin hurriedly let go and jumped a few steps away...but she was still thrown to the ground by the girl who chased after her.

On the other side, just as Irene rubbed her shoulders and got up, she found Luoluo's little face carved in pink and jade in front of her, hugging her shoulder and begging: "Sister Irene, I want to play kiss..."

Cough cough... play kiss?What strange things did your sister instill in you again...

Eileen's emerald green eyes revealed a hint of cunning, and she pointed at Evie beside her, and whispered in Lolo's ear: "Go and play with this sister with two ponytails, she is very happy to accompany you."

"Eh? What are you doing here..."

Realizing that Luo Luo was rushing towards her, Evie was stunned for a moment, quickly dropped the card and backed away, and at the same time glared at Erin: "Bastard, what did you say to her? I don't want to play with children... woo Wow, hateful guy, I have written down this grudge..."

After dismissing the innocent little fox girl Lolita, and pretending not to hear Evie's bewildered voice, Irene looked in the direction of Xingtong, only to find that this cunning fox glanced around pretendingly, and then Said in a sighing tone: "I am old."

"I'm getting old too..." Seeing that the game couldn't go on, Janet responded with a wry smile.

Sisyana couldn't help laughing "puchi", pointed at Irene, and said to the two of them: "It's okay, the oldest guy here is not the most fond of messing around... I heard that when you reach a certain age , there is a possibility of rejuvenation."

Thinking of Irene's age as an imperial princess and her current performance, the two nodded thoughtfully.

"Hey, the age gained while sleeping doesn't count!" Irene retorted with black lines all over her face.

"Huh? Is it true that as long as you sleep more, you can stay young forever? Then I'll just sleep more and leave the troublesome things to others..." Sisyana tilted her head slightly, and joked solemnly, " By the way, will Eileen hate me if I grow old?"

"Hey!"

Don't ask strange questions when there are many people!

Irene stared at her narrow-eyed lover unhappily, but she heard Dai'er who was pressing on Yingxin, she turned around and asked the exact same question: "If I get old, will Irene hate me?" ?”

For those who have reached a high level of strength, it can indeed delay the aging of the body to a certain extent, which is one of the reasons why Sisyana is called "Elise's Pearl", but ordinary girls don't This benefit is gone, and aging is almost inevitable, so unlike Sisyana, Daier asked a question that was quite difficult to answer.

Several people looked at each other for a while, and even Yingxin forgot her situation and fell into thinking.

Of course, before Irene could reply, the princess who was good at destroying and creating atmosphere said to herself with a regretful expression: "Well, I can't compare to you, the most beautiful time is only a dozen years... So, let me sleep next to the legendary Princess of the Empire tonight!"

Excuse me... Is there any connection between the two?

In this way, for reasons that cannot be refuted, Dai'er finally fulfilled her wish and was able to sleep next to Irene. As for the other side of Irene, Sisyana gave up the position to Yingxin who aroused pity.The two hugged Irene's arms from left to right, and the subtle touch of their respective chests made Irene enjoy a lot of happiness.

It's just that the mood in it is kind of indescribably weird.

The imaginary pillow fight did not happen, and the night chat between the girls ended after only a short chat because everyone was very tired today.Waiting quietly in the dark, the intertwined fragrance of the girls in the room made Irene, who has five sensitive senses, feel a little tormented. She didn't open her eyes until everyone around her heard the sound of even breathing. .

Carefully pulling out her arms from Cannian's and plump breasts respectively, and sitting up, Irene exhaled softly, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and turned her gaze to the balcony.

Standing at the door of the balcony, the girl's long azure hair reflected the thin and clear moonlight, coated with a layer of dreamy silver, and gently fluttered in the night wind.Her pure eyes stared at Irene quietly, nodded to her, then turned and walked out of the balcony.

Erin straightened her hair, got up and followed.

When he came to the balcony, he closed the door carefully so as not to disturb the sleeping girls.Then Sisyana said softly: "I've been worried for a long time... This mysterious guest is finally willing to show up."

Following Sisyana's line of sight, Irene looked to the left.

Under the cold winter night, on the balcony of the room next to the castle, there happened to be an old acquaintance who didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend—for Irene, it should be said that there were more enemies than friends.

It was a clown mask with an ugly grin, half laughing and crying.

And, apart from the mask on the cheeks, what was not concealed by the false body this time was the slightly thin body of the demon girl who was shaking her crystal clear jade feet.

Chapter 26 Information about the Visible World and the Dark World

"Luna Desmuela, the most mysterious demon member on the mainland."

This is the third time Irene and the "clown" met. She stared at the mask that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she felt an indescribably weird feeling: "...what's the point of this visit?"

"My trial in this world is almost finished, and there is only one last task left."

This time, "Joker" did not use the hoarse and surly voice that was disguised, but returned to the slightly immature timbre that is unique to girls of this age.Although the clown mask was still disturbing, this calm attitude showed that she was not hostile.

"I'm here to borrow something."

Sisyana asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to borrow?"

The demon girl looked at Irene and said, "The last princess of the Olysses family, Alyssa Mina, I need your blood, a small bottle is enough."

Irene was taken aback for a moment, and her expression became vigilant: "My blood... what are you going to use it for?"

"I have to enter a place, but there is an ancient restriction, and I need to have the certificate of the only emperor recognized by the gods to pass." After a pause, the demon girl named Luna said lightly, "About My mission, that's all I can say, don't ask for more information."

"Why should I lend it to you?" Irene shook her head.

Sisyana also stared at the uninvited guest: "A few months ago, were you the one who assassinated Grand Duke Brod in Floz in Silesia?"

The sudden questioning obviously made this notorious assassin stunned for a moment, even the crystal clear feet that were shaking unconsciously froze in mid-air, and then, that sly smile turned towards Sisyana , said in an indifferent but somewhat hoarse voice: "That's right, it's me."

"Why do you do that kind of thing?"

Sisyana's tone became severe: "Do you know what you did? It directly plunged a peaceful country into civil war and displaced countless people..."

"As an assassin, you can buy your life with money, that's all."

Apparently, she was indifferent to Sisyana's anger, and even showed a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Also, Your Royal Highness, you seem to have forgotten that I am not a human being, and I have nothing to do with those people's life or death." After a pause, she turned to Irene, and added meaningfully: "Perhaps my current body can win the favor of some humans, but this is just a disguise for my family to walk in the human world. When I finish Trials, you can get rid of this weak body, and say goodbye to the human appearance..."

"Hey, trial?" Erin's attention was obviously focused on something strange, "Will you turn into a monster or something? What the hell kind of trial is that, your real appearance is obviously very beautiful..."

As soon as the words fell, Irene received a blank stare from Sisyana.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and even the demon girl disguised under the clown mask was silent for a long time before continuing the original topic: "I will exchange her blood with the information you want."

"What information?" Sisyana asked lightly.

"I know the whereabouts of King Greve and Prince Laurence. Is this enough information?"

Sisyana was stunned for a moment, her eyes revealed surprise, and she asked urgently, "Where are my father and elder brother? Are they all right?"

"In other words, the transaction is established, right?"

As she said that, Luna took out a pocket glass bottle from behind, and threw it towards Irene through the gap between the two balconies: "You do it yourself, just fill half of the bottle."

Catching the bottle, Erin stared at the other party's mask and pursed her lips.

Cough cough, why are there always guys around me who want my blood...

Fortunately, because of a certain vampire maid, Irene has long been accustomed to bleeding.She put her ring finger by her mouth, bit open a small opening, and then put her finger on the mouth of the bottle, letting the blood flow down the glass wall slowly.During this period, Sisyana suddenly asked: "Your friend is sleeping in the room, do you need me to wake her up and let you meet?"

The person Sisyana mentioned was none other than Janet Adelaide.

As the second lady of the Anhill Chamber of Commerce, the "City of Liberty" in Sayel, she has forged a close relationship with the notorious assassin "Joker" by chance. It is the beginning of the legendary story told by the bard, but the development of the story does not follow the ideal routine.

"No need."

Paused, as if to add another sentence for emphasis——

"This kind of thing is not necessary." The tone was blunt but uncompromising.

The cold night wind swept across the cheeks of several people. Behind the clown mask, the slightly dazzling light golden long hair was suddenly blown up by the wind. When Irene was distracted, she noticed the lightly stirring behind the delicate back. Purple bone wings—compared to the bone wings of the Yaniweier blood clan, it has a more natural and pitiful atmosphere.

This impenetrable demon girl in front of me, and the surly and terrifying "clown" in most people's impressions, or the weak girl who was at a loss after all the disguise was removed in an 'accident', which one is she? Are faces real?

When there was enough blood in the bottle, Irene sealed the bottle and threw it back to the other party.

I saw Luna stood up from the railing, looked down at the two people here, and fulfilled the promise just now: "King Greif and his son are not currently on the side of the 'Xian World', so no matter how much you spend They couldn't find them even with all their energy. Horus somehow opened the passage between the two worlds, causing the destroyed Iris and all the surviving humans to fall into the barren 'Dark World'. You can try I'm going to look over there, but I don't know if they're still alive."

"...The manifest world, the dark world?"

Sisyana muttered to herself. Obviously, these two concepts were completely unfamiliar to her. She raised her head and asked puzzledly, "Why...you know this information?"
