Although the two people sitting in the upper seats look very similar, Elizabeth has a sense of dignity and majesty that Eve does not have, so others can easily distinguish between mother and daughter.

"Well, now that everyone is here, I will state the reason for this urgent summons, Patriarch Charles."

"Her Majesty the Queen."

When Charles heard Elizabeth calling him, he immediately stood up and bowed.

"Can you explain why Emrik of your clan was contaminated by the power of the demon god? And he is also the second young master of your clan?"

Elizabeth's light words seemed to have dropped a bombshell in the conference room, causing these usually calm clan leaders to lose their composure slightly.

Being involved with the demon god is definitely a major accident. Depending on the situation, the Gangro clan may be destroyed.

However, in the face of Elizabeth's questioning, Charles appeared very calm and still had an expressionless look, as if he had anticipated the current situation.

§ 32 Inspection Team

"Your Majesty, I think there is some misunderstanding about this matter."

To Eve's surprise, Charles' first defense was extremely weak.

"Really? They've already sent people to the infirmary to forcibly seize the person? And they're even willing to disobey Eve's orders to take the person away? I'm not wrong, Eve."

At the end of her words, Elizabeth looked at Eve beside her.

"Yes, mother. That servant of the Gangro clan knew I had given the order and saw my token, but he still tried to forcibly take Dr. Sophia from her."

As Eve spoke, she stared straight at Charles' expression, trying to see something from his face.

But unfortunately, Charles still had an expressionless face in the face of her accusations. Those who didn't know would think that Eve was wrongly accusing him.

"your Highness."

After listening to Eve's words, Charles suddenly bowed to her.

"I'm deeply sorry about that incident. It was indeed caused by my lack of discipline."

Then he turned and looked at Elizabeth who was sitting on the main seat.

"Your Majesty, the one who ordered Emrik to be taken away was actually my deputy, Adrian. He used my name to issue the order, and he was also involved with the demon. It was only after this incident that I discovered his abnormality and finally caught him before he could escape. Now I have him imprisoned."

As he said this, Charles acted as if he was regretting that he had entrusted his trust to the wrong person.

"Adrian has been with me for many years, and I never imagined he would be connected to the followers of the Devil!"

Seeing him like this, the scene was a bit awkward for a moment. Aside from Eve and a few newly appointed clan leaders, who among those present wasn't a thousand-year-old fox? And they were still acting out "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" here?

Unless he had forgotten his home when he came to the meeting today, no one could fail to see that he was performing an impromptu performance.

But since he dared to do this, it meant that Charles had completely distanced himself from the matter, and further investigation would only be a waste of time.

This time he chose to cut off his own arm to prevent his family from being further implicated. Although losing a deputy he had trained for many years would make him feel a little uncomfortable, it was better than the clan being destroyed.

"Is that so? Patriarch Charles really put his trust in the wrong person. He should be more careful next time."

Elizabeth said as she watched Charles' performance with a smile on her face.

"Yes, I will pay more attention in the future."

"Ha, then you don't have to pay much attention to it."

Just as Charles was continuing to act awkwardly, Elizabeth suddenly interrupted him, and then looking at his surprised and doubtful eyes, Elizabeth continued.

"I've decided to set up an inspection team to track down leads on the Demon God's followers within the Blood Clan's territory. Does anyone have any questions?"

Elizabeth's sharp eyes swept over the other clan leaders who often shouted that bloodline was supreme.

"..."

Facing Elizabeth's gaze, the clan leaders who were being swept by her gaze were somewhat evasive, not daring to look her in the eye, let alone raise any questions.

After all, in the current situation, anyone who dares to question will probably be beaten into a demon and killed in the next second.

As for the status and territory they left behind? I believe there will be many "enthusiastic people" willing to take it over. Their status as one of the major clans is a good thing.

"Very good. Since everyone agrees, it's settled. The inspection team will be composed of the Imperial City Guard, and my daughter Eve will lead it. Any other questions?"

"?!!!"

Although Eve was a little surprised when she heard Elizabeth's order, she managed to control her expression well.

"Haha, Her Royal Highness the Princess is naturally the most suitable candidate. Why would we have any objection?"

After a brief silence, as the pro-royal clan leader took the lead in showing support, the few people from the bloodline faction had no choice but to agree.

So without asking her opinion, our Eve inexplicably became the leader of the inspection team.

As for her current thoughts?

"...I want to kill myself just now. As expected of me, I am a great prophet."

It now seems that Elizabeth must have expected that Charles would definitely be able to deny her involvement, so she simply settled for the second best and chose to set up such an inspection team.

Regardless of whether they can find any clues about the devil's followers, Eve, as the team leader, can use this as an excuse to move around freely. In a sense, it is like releasing a walking nuclear bomb that is wandering around.

Oh, by the way, these clan leaders probably don’t know that Eve’s strength has greatly increased. If they encounter a fool who dares to take action, it will be a real mess.

Although the probability is small, it is not impossible. After all, power makes people blind, just like the second young master who was just carried away by Yue Yue. He became arrogant after obtaining the power of the devil.

If she is bolder, someone might want to take advantage of the opportunity to control her, and take the opportunity to steal the throne of the vampire royal family.

Hiss, thinking about it this way, life in the future might be quite exciting.

"Okay, let's end this meeting here."

At this time, Elizabeth also announced the end of the meeting. The first person to leave was naturally Charles. After all, he had suffered a great loss and had no intention of staying any longer.

Not only did he lose a trusted confidant, but he was also forced to agree to the formation of the inspection team. I guess he wants to drag out that idiot Emrick and whip his corpse.

As for Eve, who had just got a new job, she had no mood to stay. After all, Viya was still waiting for her to take over. It would not be too late for the mother and daughter to talk privately about the matter of the inspection team leader later.

Thinking of this, Eve said to Elizabeth.

"Mother, I will leave first."

"Well, let's go."

Elizabeth, knowing that Eve didn't like such occasions, smiled and let Eve leave first.

After Eve left, several clan leaders of the bloodline faction also left the conference hall, leaving only a few clan leaders of the pro-royal faction.

This time, the bloodline faction suffered a collective loss. Before, the inferior princess in their minds could only suppress them in the imperial city, but it was different when they formed an inspection team. Who would dare to resist when they were accused of having an affair with the devil?

What's more, some of them are involved with the devil's followers, and are now rushing back to destroy the evidence and arrange scapegoats. They don't want to follow in Charles' footsteps.

In the final analysis, it was all the trouble caused by that idiot Emrik. After obtaining the power of the devil, he directly provoked that inferior princess. Not only did he lose the fight, but he was even discovered to have the power of the devil.

I knew that I couldn't trust those demon believers. They had clearly vowed that they would not lose control and would not be discovered, but in the end they were caught red-handed.

After all, how did that inferior princess discover the truth? It was obvious that there was no flaw when those demon believers showed them the effect. They would not lose their minds like ordinary people. When activated, there was only a faint black aura, which was not conspicuous at all, and they would not get out of control.

However, the blame cannot really be put on the heads of the group of demon believers. At that time, it was Emrik who took the initiative to draw out a large amount of demon power. In addition, Eve's attack was too fierce. The general level of demon power was completely unable to meet the recovery speed. All these factors led to the demon power in Emrik falling into a state of out of control.

And even if the power of the demon got out of control, if it weren't for our holy sword elf Ilvia, Eve probably wouldn't be able to see through the essence of Emrik's problem, and at most would just find it a little strange.

Anyway, it must be God's will. Maybe it is really the will of the world that drives all this.

§ 33 Intention

squeak

Eve carefully pushed open the door of the lounge, trying her best to avoid making any noise so as not to wake up Ilvia.

But her action was doomed to be in vain—as soon as she leaned in from the corridor, Ilvia pounced on her.

"what!"

Thanks to her outstanding reaction speed, although Eve was startled by the attack, she still reached out and caught Viya in time.

Fortunately, with Eve's strength, holding Ilvia was not stressful at all, otherwise she would have been thrown to the ground.

"Eve~."

At this moment, Ilvia was like a koala, hanging on Eve, who was almost as tall as her, and rubbing against her.

"Yeah, I'm here. Has Viya rested well?"

As she spoke, Eve also walked into the lounge and closed the door.

"Ok!"

Ilvia in his arms responded with great energy.

Obviously, the meeting didn't last too long, but it looked like Viya had indeed rested well. Eve had been thinking about whether to wait until she woke up naturally before continuing with today's daily training.

"That's good, okay, come down, Viya."

As she spoke, Eve carried Ilvia to the sofa and sat between her and Arcana.

"Master, how was it? Did anything unexpected happen during the meeting?"

"Nothing unexpected happened. I just couldn't make that old fox Charles bleed any more. But he did assign me a job. I was planning to ask my mother for her opinion later."

"Is that so? Master, shall we return to the inner castle now?"

"Do not."

Eve stood up as she spoke.

"Let's continue practicing controlling our strength first. We can discuss that matter tonight. Okay, let's go!"

So the three of them once again headed to the troubled training ground.

Fortunately, there were no more mistakes or house explosions today, or clowns coming to cause trouble, and Eve stayed in the demiplane smoothly until night.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

at dusk.

With a wave of movement at the entrance to the demiplane, Eve returned to the training ground from the demiplane.

"Haha, I have a feeling this will be a long-term project."

Feeling that her control was growing but only a little bit, Eve sighed helplessly.

It’s not that she didn’t try hard, but her strength increased too quickly, and what’s even worse is that she didn’t have much room for trial and error.

If other people lose control of their power, at most a bullet will explode, but if she loses control, it will be like a nuclear arsenal exploding on the spot.

"By the way, Arcana, how are things going over there? Is your recovery going well?"

As if she had thought of something, Eve looked at Arcana beside her.

Arcana's situation is different from hers. She was in a weak state due to being awakened early, so she should be able to recover much easier than her.

"Hmm? Everything is going well for me, Master. Even if I don't take the initiative to recover, I can recover with just your magic power."

“…That’s great.”

At this moment, Eve deeply felt the gap between people.

She persisted in training every day but made slow progress, while Akana could recover even if he took a short break.

Of course, their situations cannot be generalized. After all, one is exploring from scratch, while the other is recovering to the peak. The difficulty is naturally incomparable.

"Okay, let's go to the inner castle."

"Ok!"

As they spoke, the three of them headed towards the inner castle.

Today, Eve came out at dinner time. Although she had no intention of going in when passing by the restaurant, she still looked inside at the door.

The restaurant looked no different from usual except that no one from the Gangro clan was present. People from different clans gathered in groups of three or four, chatting politely with each other according to their factions.

It seems that although the bloodline faction suffered some losses in the clan meeting this morning, it does not seem to have affected the lower classes yet.
