This time, I won't be the devil.

After saying that, Didoris waved her hand and left the hall.

After pondering this brief conversation for a long time, the drunk Philip came to a conclusion.

She wouldn't be interested in me, right?

Normal women would immediately start to curry favor with Philip after hearing that he was the director's nephew, but Didoris walked away without even looking back.

Based on the stereotype in his mind, Philip thought that princesses must be ladies who have little contact with men, so her behavior just now could also be explained by shyness.

And objectively speaking, there is a possibility between Philip and the princess.

Once that Robin Hood is caught, my second uncle will be promoted to a priest, and he is his successor. To round it off, he will be the future priest.

Moreover, my second uncle also said that although the Forest Country has a big name, it is actually just a small country with only 3000 people.

A priest of the Vatican and a princess of a small country, if you round it up, isn't this a perfect match?

Thinking of this, Philip couldn't help but look forward to it.

In order to further show off, Philip knocked on Didoris' door several times after the dinner.

"Your Highness, are you thirsty? How about I pour you a glass of water?"

"Need not."

"Your Highness, are you hungry? How about I send someone to prepare a midnight snack for you?"

"Thank you, really."

"Your Highness, you..."

In this way, Philip knocked on the door every 10 minutes. When he knocked for the 10th time, there was no response from inside the door.

Thinking that Her Royal Highness the Princess should be asleep, Philip returned to the room.

That night, he tossed and turned, and in the second half of the night, after he was almost sober, Philip, who still had a little self-awareness, began to wonder if he had misunderstood?

Thinking of this, feelings of shame and anger surged in his heart at the same time, exhausting him until dawn.

But when he woke up at noon the next day, he found an invitation letter from the princess on the bedside, asking him to go to the tavern together in the evening.

My guess was right, it seems she was just shy last night!

Moreover, they specifically arranged to meet him at night in a secluded pub, and the letter also emphasized that he had to go alone. Do you think...

Thinking of this, Philip felt a shudder down his spine.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, he arrived at the Shin-Nippori area as scheduled.

After all, it is where the lower class of untouchables live. The streets are dilapidated and dirty, and most of the pedestrians on the road are in tattered clothes.

Following the map, Philip came to the tavern called Gensokyo. He stood at the door, straightened his clothes, and then heard a burst of music.

He didn't understand music, but it sounded pretty good, and the joy in his heart seemed to be magnified.

"Your Highness, I'm here..."

Philip pushed open the door of the tavern and then froze in place.

In the center of the tavern, where there were no tables or chairs, Her Royal Highness the Princess was playing music with a black-haired man.

Seeing Philip enter the store, Didoris glanced at him without turning her head, and then said:

"We are playing, could you please wait a moment?"

Philip sat down on the chair in a daze. After a while, he finally reacted.

Didn't you ask me out? Who the hell is that man?

Philip looked at the two of them, and saw that one of them was holding a guitar and the other was holding a harp, playing in perfect harmony and coordinating with each other very well.

Looking at this scene, Philip felt very angry and aggrieved, but he had to admit that the man was indeed more handsome than him.

Humph, what’s the use of being handsome? What’s important to a man is wealth and status.

Thinking of this, Philip shouted: "Boss, give me the most expensive wine!"

"We don't have the most expensive wine here. If you want to show off your wealth, go somewhere else." The tavern owner directly exposed Philip's little thoughts, making him feel extremely embarrassed.

Since arriving in the Labyrinth City, no shopkeeper had dared to be so rude to Philip.

Anger welled up in Philip's heart, and this emotion quickly grew.

"You dare to talk to me like that? You don't want to do business anymore, right? Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are. When you're here, you have to follow the rules, or get out."

At this moment, a man at the table next to Philip, who was wearing blacksmith's clothes and had a head shaped like a potato, teased:

"He's probably the son of some nouveau riche. He has no manners at all and exudes a sense of poverty in his bones."

These three words, "poor and mean", instantly aroused Philip's deep-seated inferiority complex.

He tried his best to suppress his anger and said to Didoris:

"Your Highness, forget about the music. Let's go somewhere else. This isn't the place for noble people like us."

But Didoris continued to play the piano and ignored Philip, so he asked:

"Didn't you make an appointment with me?"

Before Didoris could answer, Potato Head beside her spoke first:

"They're a handsome couple, and it's your turn as a monster to mess things up?"

Hearing this, Philip instantly became furious and punched Potato Head directly.

But just as the fist was about to hit, the black-haired man next to him instantly put down his guitar, then stretched out a finger and easily blocked Philip's fist.

"I am also an employee of this tavern. I hope you won't make things difficult for me."

Through this finger, Philip immediately realized the difference in strength between the two, and he instinctively took half a step back.

The black-haired man winked at Didoris, and then Didoris said:

"Mr. Philip, you'd better wait outside. I'll call you when I finish playing."

So, Philip walked out of the tavern in a dejected manner, full of resentment.

What the hell! What the hell are they! A bunch of lowlifes, how dare you look down on me?

The burning rage made Philip tremble all over, but the last bit of rationality made him realize that he could not beat the other person, so he felt even more aggrieved.

Just then, Philip heard someone calling him from the dark alley next to him. When he went over, he saw a little beggar with scabies on his head, who was dark and thin.

"Big brother, please be kind and buy me a few boxes of matches. I need money to pay for my grandfather's medical treatment." After saying that, the little boy took out a few boxes of matches from his pocket and handed them to Philip.

You're begging for food, and you're selling matches under the guise of selling matches? Besides, what does your grandfather have to do with me?

At this moment, Philip remembered what his second uncle had taught him.

"If you want to climb high, you have to be ruthless. You must not sympathize with these untouchables."

Under normal circumstances, Philip might have thrown him some money to send him away, but he was furious and didn't like anything.

When the beggar learned that Philip did not want to buy matches, he immediately showed him a look of contempt, as if to say: "I thought you were dressed like a respectable person and came to talk to me, but I didn't expect you to be such a stingy person."

No, even a beggar like you looks down on me?

Do you really think I have no money?

Philip wanted to beat the little beggar immediately, but he finally held back.

He thinks it's dirty to beat up this kind of guy.

A moment later, Philip suddenly had an idea, as if something in his head had taken effect.

He thought of a brilliant sideshow.

Philip looked at the little boy, forced a smile, and then took out a glittering banknote from his pocket. It was the largest denomination banknote in the Theocracy, called the Gold Yuan, and was worth 3000 rupees.

"Do you want this?"

"I...I want it, thank you, thank you!" Seeing Philip directly take out a 3000 rupee note, the little beggar kowtowed quickly, and his head kept hitting the ground, making bursts of noise.

Seeing him like this, Philip's smile became even wider.

That's right, the untouchables should be like dogs, wagging their tails and begging for mercy.

Philip squatted down and brought the gold yuan close to the boy.

The boy looked at the glittering portrait of the old Pope on the gold yuan. At this moment, it seemed as if the gold yuan really emitted a warm light like the sun, giving people hope for new life.

But just as the boy was about to catch the light, Philip suddenly withdrew his hand and said:

“It always feels a little dark around here.”

Hearing Philip's words, the little boy quickly took out a few matches, lit a few of them, and handed them to Philip. There was a stinky smell on his hands.

"Who wants your broken matches?" Philip shook off the boy's dirty hand and chanted the first-level magic.

"Spark, please guide us in the right direction."

When the chanting ended, a flame appeared in Philip's hand, and the gold yuan note that carried the boy's hopes was burned to ashes bit by bit.

"Now it's bright."

Looking at the boy with desperate eyes, Philip felt a sadistic pleasure in his heart.

But at this moment, with a snap, Philip was slapped hard and fell directly to the ground.

"****! (Elf swear words)"

After being slapped, Philip's good impression of Tidoris immediately disappeared, and he subconsciously said:

"How dare you hit me? Even my father has never hit me!"

"In my opinion, only the most despicable cowards would maintain their ridiculous self-esteem by humiliating those weaker than themselves."

Didoris's words were like a sharp blade that cut through Philip's body, dug out his dirty soul, and exposed it to the world, which made Philip feel ashamed.

Unlike the angry Didoris, Frey on the side looked very surprised.

Today, Frey really intended to plot against Philip in order to find something to hold against him, and he had prepared 13 contingency plans based on different situations.

The scene in the tavern just now was just foreplay. After analyzing Philip's character, Frey planned to give instructions to other actors in the tavern, so he asked Didoris to ask Philip to leave temporarily.

But unexpectedly, Philip was able to perform such a cruel feat on his own without anyone cooperating with him.
