As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

But when Sibel wanted to continue speaking, Caroline stopped him.

Caroline always felt that once she agreed, it would probably bring unimaginable consequences.

Judging from the other party's performance just now, it is impossible for him to only ask for something that is completely useless to him.

"May I ask, Your Highness, why do you want that magic?"

Caroline said, looking at Morningstar with wariness in her eyes.

"As a magician, it's normal for me to study all kinds of magic, right? It's said that the magic of the elves has been passed down since ancient times and is extremely sophisticated. I also want to see the difference between such exquisite magic and abyss magic!"

Noticing Caroline and Sibel's performance, Morning Star knew there was hope, so he simply threw out the most crucial point.

Abyss magic!

The Elf Forest is now looking for the antidote to save the ancient elf tree!

This was all thanks to the Abyss Warlock eradication plan planned by the tyrant before I traveled through time.

Because of this plan, the number of Abyss Warlocks in the world dropped sharply, and there were only a few left.

Moreover, under the premise of being besieged, these abyss warlocks are already worried, so how could they easily show up to help the elves they have never had any contact with before?

Chapter 17: The Weak, Poor, and Helpless King

"I understand, but I need to discuss this matter with the princess first, so..."

Even after listening to Morning Star's words, Caroline still remained vigilant.

It is necessary to investigate this matter first.

Xibel on the side opened his mouth but still couldn't speak.

The eyes looking at Caroline also seemed a little dim.

And this scene was also completely captured by Morning Star.

Just as he remembered, the current situation of the elves can be said to be facing both external and internal troubles.

Not only is the Heart of the Ancient Elves weakening and being coveted from without, but there is also internal... division!

In the original plot, the protagonist who chose to cooperate with Caroline later became involved in the elves' internal strife for the elf princess.

As for the ending, naturally the elf princess won a great victory.

But this time, the situation is different.

After all, the person involved this time is no longer the protagonist, but Chenxing himself.

Of course, Morning Star will not choose to help either side.

What he wanted was to take advantage of the internal strife among the elves to get what he wanted.

"Of course, my attendant Xila will take you to a place to rest. I have also specially prepared everything for you. You two can enjoy it while we discuss slowly. There is no rush."

Morning Star smiled.

It was difficult for Caroline to figure out what he wanted from his every move.

No one would have thought that someone would be crazy enough to want to seize the heart of the ancient elven tree.

Not to mention whether the human body can absorb that kind of thing, the heart of the ancient elf tree itself cannot be seized or absorbed, not even by the legendary dragons.

But just because other people can’t do it doesn’t mean Chenxing doesn’t have it.

Caroline looked at Morning Star, who had a kind smile on her face, and had to take Sibel away temporarily.

In the opponent's territory, especially with the God of Death watching nearby, even she could do nothing.

She could only blame herself for underestimating the ambition of the current King of the Kingdom of Grullit.

As the two left, Agnes stepped forward and spoke slowly: "Your Highness, the elf's envoy..."

"I know that her relationship with the Elf Princess is not good. She might even have the idea of... replacing her."

The morning star did not hide anything.

After what happened before, there is no need to worry too much about Agnes's loyalty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so decisive in putting pressure on the elf's envoy for him.

"Replace it..."

"What's wrong? Are you worried?"

Noticing Agnes's frown, Morning Star asked softly.

Of course he could guess what the other person was thinking.

It's nothing more than the matter of her adjutant, who was the original protagonist.

Under his "instigation", it was impossible for Agnes not to doubt the "motives" of her adjutant in "slandering" her.

However, this alone is not enough.

At least for now, these are not enough to completely tear the relationship between the two people apart.

"It's just... there are some things I can't figure out."

Agnes shook her head, and a rare hint of emotion appeared on her cold face.

She couldn't understand why her adjutant Ye Yue suddenly slandered His Highness.

At first she thought it was most likely a misunderstanding. After all, His Highness chose to hide and bear everything in order to eliminate the cancer of the kingdom.

But through her contact with Ye Yue in the past two days, she suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple.

From the time she rescued him in a remote little place until now, Ye Yue has never been as... strange as she is now?

And recently, the other party seems to have been in close contact with people from other countries...

"Reality is like this. Often the most unexpected thing is the truth. Before everything comes to light, no one can be sure that what they see is true."

Morningstar said, causing Agnes' eyes to twinkle.

Your Highness, what you said is to her......

No, His Highness probably doesn’t know about Ye Yue yet.

Should I take this matter into consideration...

"You seem to be worried. It's not good to frown all the time. Do you want to go out for a walk to relax?"

Chenxing did not continue the topic.

Sometimes being too eager to succeed can backfire.

As long as such a seed is planted in Agnes' heart, it will explode sooner or later.

"Now?"

Agnes was stunned, obviously not expecting the invitation to come so suddenly.

But it still can't compare to the kiss I gave you that day.

Thinking of this, Agnes also subconsciously touched her lips.

The feeling that day was...weird.

She could not understand the so-called love or intimacy. In her opinion, those so-called throbbing were just normal reactions of the body.

I have personally experienced...

I still find it weird, but not annoying.

"You don't have anything to do, do you? Today is the best day. I also want to cultivate my relationship with my princess."

"I haven't agreed to become a princess yet."

"Oh, you really don't understand romance. Let's put it another way. I need you, the red-haired devil, to protect me, a weak, pitiful and helpless king, right?"

Chenxing shook his head and walked outside on his own.

Although Agnes said something that sounded like she was refusing, she still followed slowly.

It’s not so much that she was refusing, but rather that she didn’t understand these things and just spoke more bluntly.

But sometimes this expression is quite cute.

that is......

Morning Star looked at Agnes, who was still wearing the bright red armor, and sighed helplessly.

"You're just going to... wear this and go out to relax?"

"Since we are here to protect His Highness, it is most important to be vigilant at all times!"

Agnes's answer was also very straightforward.

and......

In fact, she rarely wears home clothes when going out, and most of the time she appears in this image.

Wearing a bright red armor, his beautiful face was almost always covered by the helmet.

Except for some senior officials and warriors who had fought on the battlefield with Agnes, few people had seen the true appearance of this red-haired demon.

If she were suddenly asked to go out in a normal manner, she might not be able to adapt.

What's more, in her opinion, there is not much difference between armor and ordinary clothes.

"That won't do. If you want to relax, you have to look relaxed. Aren't you tired of being tense all day?"

"tired?"

Listening to Chenxing's words, Agnes was silent for a long time.

There was no sign of him taking off his helmet or changing his armor just by moving his hands.

But come to think of it, considering Agnes's personality, it's quite normal.

Just when Morning Star was about to go on, Agnes suddenly reached out and slowly took off the iconic helmet.

She slightly raised her tied-up long red hair, and the perfect face that was enough to amaze anyone appeared in Chenxing's sight again.

“Is this… okay?”

Agnes said, her expression still as calm as that of a glacier that had not melted for thousands of years, but there was obviously something more in her red eyes.

Chapter 18: The King was Molested by the Red-Haired Devil

Ever since Agnes could remember, she had been taught to be loyal to this country and to serve the King of the Kingdom of Grullit.

Commanding, fighting, swordsmanship and even magic, these were Agnes' daily lessons since she was a child.

As a descendant of a general of the kingdom, she has always been clear that this is her duty and responsibility.

Standing firm is everything to her, and killing the enemy is her life.

The scenes of blood splattering and wildfires spreading across the land had become a daily routine and a part of her life.

This is also what most people agree on, and is how the Red-haired Demon should behave.

It's like a killing machine.

This was the first time she heard someone ask her if she was tired...

Tired?

Agnes herself didn't know.

Day after day, day after day...

Tired, what is that?

Is it that feeling of boredom, or... that feeling of being unhappy in your heart but not knowing how to vent it?

Maybe...I can really try to change.

Just like His Highness wants to bring change to this kingdom, and even to this world.

Since I want to be loyal to His Highness, I naturally have to... follow His Highness's footsteps.
