The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"Well, I'm not interested in hearing you preach here."

Ming Fuluo interrupted her impatiently: "Then go and convince her quickly. I'll wait here."

"..."

The surrounding atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.

After about half a minute, Xin pointed at himself blankly and said, "I'll go by myself?"

"Didn't you say that she would recognize you and be convinced by you?" Ming Fuluo said coldly, "If that's the case, then you can go alone. I just want to know the reason why she hides her identity as a believer. The rest doesn't matter."

She looked like a wicked woman who was completely using Xin as a tool.

"In that case..." Xin was not dissatisfied at all, but his eyes flickered, "It seems to make sense. Then I will go meet her, Miss Doll."

Her figure quickly vanished into nothingness, and this vanishing was not the "dissipation" that could be seen with the naked eye, but a pure "disappearance" that you would not notice even if you were watching it, until a few seconds after she left, when you suddenly realized it.

After Xin disappeared, Ming Furo's mouth corners slightly raised.

You want to learn Anser, right?

Do you think that anyone can learn that damn brat's skills?

She leaned against the broken wall, and while waiting for Xin to plot against her secretly, she began to think about how to find a breakthrough point for Xin.

Judging from the nature of the church and Xin's situation, the latter is obviously the one who knows even less. Even if he tries harder, the information he can get is very limited. Although there are several special features of this Saint that are worthy of attention, because they are too special... he can't draw any conclusions for the time being.

So next, the focus should turn to the actual controllers of the church...that is, the bishops.

Given Anther's character, agreeing to allow a large number of priests to cross the sea to the empire and spread the Holy Church on a large scale... the cost will definitely not be small. The so-called "church's participation in the war" is just to make this incompetent Saint think that she has a chance to "save" me, but in fact it is an opportunity that Anther gives me in return.

That was just a cover. The decisive clause in the agreement reached between Ansel and the church must not be this.

And according to what that damn kid did, the agreement would most likely not be beneficial to both parties in terms of the terms. It was he who made the other party believe that the deal was fair.

On the surface, the benefit the church gets is the ability to spread the gospel on a large scale, but what Anser gets is...

"Miss Doll, something bad has happened!"

Xin's shouting interrupted Ming Fuluo's thoughts, and the scholar's face was full of displeasure.

"What?" She frowned deeply, "That woman is dead?"

"No, not that, that..."

The tall, plump, mature and charming Saint, like a child who had made a mistake, hesitated and said embarrassedly: "She...didn't tell me."

"…What do you mean by not telling you?"

"That's right. Literally." Xin replied in a low voice, "That Miss Elalo, she didn't tell me why she hid her identity. She said, 'Even if you're a saint, it won't work. I'm sorry.'"

Ming Fuluo stared into Xin's eyes. She subconsciously thought that the other party was lying, but she soon realized that if Xin wanted to lie, she could have many excuses, but she didn't need to give such a good answer as "I don't know".

"However, although I don't know the circumstances, I am certain that Miss Elalo did not actively want to keep the secret, but was ordered to do so by a certain bishop."

"By order of the Bishop?"

The daughter of an imperial grand duke became a believer of the Holy Church eight years ago, and at the same time hid her identity because of the order of a bishop... It was really too confusing to put these completely incongruous things together.

But when these things are connected together by her and Xin... the meaning is a little different.

Could this be... a twist of fate?

"The Church of the Holy Alliance has only one bishop in the empire." Ming Fuluo narrowed her eyes slightly, "Then it won't be difficult to get the answer."

"Yes." Xin seemed somewhat happy that he had provided another idea. "Bishop Mu is a good man. He will definitely not refuse to answer me."

"Okay, let's go find—"

"and many more!"

Just as Ming Fuluo was about to leave, Xin immediately reached out and grabbed her, looking shocked: "Miss Doll, are you so anxious?"

The cold and beautiful elder sister glanced at the hand of the dull elder sister holding her wrist, and said coldly: "My time is precious and there is no room for waste."

"But aren't you also... preparing to resist the war?" Xin asked cautiously, "You need to find someone to help you implement all those weird things."

Under Ming Fuluo's gaze, Xin let go of her hand obediently, and then heard Miss Scholar say coldly: "That's why I don't want to waste time. It's time to go."

"Aren't you going to talk to Miss Elalo?"

Xin finally couldn't help but speak directly: "Miss Doll wants to know her secret, isn't it because you want to talk to her?"

"Do you think I still need to use her secrets to threaten her? Do I need to use this method to make her obey me?"

Xin was confused for a moment. If that was not the case, why did Miss Doll want to know Miss Ellalo's secret so much?

No, no matter what Miss Doll thinks, she must talk to Miss Ellalo.

Because in the conversation with Elalo just now, Xin discovered that the second lady of the Triumph Family was indeed a good person.

Miss Doll is a kind person who seems vicious but is actually very gentle.

Good people can always reveal more to each other. She must take this opportunity to pry open Ming Fuluo's mouth and find the source of Miss Doll's arrogance.

But... although the idea is nice, the woman Miss Xin has to face is not one of those cases that Anser can easily manipulate and play with and use to show her.

She was the amazing monster lady who could defeat even her "teacher"'s determination and save him from the hell of giving up everything.

Chapter 6: No one knows better than me, Ansel Part (K)

Elalo Triumph... Oh no, before she became the Grand Duke, she should have been Elalo Osen.

There were some dented wooden tables, very cheap and rough bookshelves, cracked walls and ceilings... It was hard to imagine that the daughter of a grand duke would live in such a place, even if she was not actively competing for the position of grand duke.

Is this also one of the strategies?

Sitting on the creaking wooden chair, Ming Fuluo frowned at the woman sitting opposite her. To be honest... judging from her appearance, this gentle-looking woman did not look like an ambitious person at all.

But Ming Furo's trust in the nobles can basically be equated with Xitana's, but Xitana hates the privileges and viciousness of the nobles, while Ming Furo is fed up with the world imprisoned by them.

The emperor holds the entire world in the palm of his hand, and the extraordinary people and great nobles bow down to her, doing their best to maintain this cage for her, dragging everything into the deepest part of the quagmire of despair.

To find someone like this to cooperate with me to test me... is really naive.

No, it should be... believing in something like faith without a doubt.

Ming Fuluo, who disdained that hypocritical belief, heard Elalo say, "I didn't expect Miss Zeger to come to East Port, and I didn't expect... that you would actually travel with Her Excellency the Saint."

She looked at Xin, who was sitting by the windowsill hugging his knees, bowed her head slightly, and said with some excitement: "This is an honor for me as a follower of God."

"This is also God's guidance." Xin responded softly.

Ming Fuluo, as always, did not treat anyone kindly: "If you want me to stay just to listen to the nonsense between you and her, then I'm leaving now."

"Ah, please forgive my impoliteness, Miss Zeger."

Elalo stood up and bowed to her apologetically: "I didn't mean to waste your time, please listen..."

"If you have something to say, please say it now." The scholar interrupted her polite words expressionlessly, "If you continue to say something that does not contain any information, I will not waste even one more second on you."

"...Okay, can I ask you for a favor?"

Without waiting for Ming Fuluo to answer, Elalo immediately said: "In return, everything of the Triumph Family will be handled by His Royal Highness the Regent. Ah, in the final analysis... the final result of this matter is indeed to hand over everything of the Triumph Family to His Royal Highness the Regent."

boring.

Ming Fuluo propped up her face and said indifferently, "You want me to help you get rid of your brothers and sisters?"

Elaluo was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect Ming Fuluo to directly state her request, but she reacted quickly and didn't say any nonsense. She directly gave her reasons:

"Yes, as you can see, my brothers and sisters have gone crazy."

She sighed softly, "The eldest brother and sister who had the best chance died because of their joint plan. It was originally a dinner party to announce fair competition, but they suddenly attacked and killed their relatives."

"After that, there was endless chaos. Even inside the city, new bloodshed occurred every day... I don't want to see the civilians of Kaixuan Port City get hurt again, but my ability is limited after all."

The woman cast a hopeful look at Ming Fuluo: "But if it's you, you can definitely put an end to this meaningless chaos."

Xin, who was sitting on the windowsill, didn't know what Elalo would say. She just made a request to this devout believer. Apart from a few words, everything else was up to Elalo. Therefore, she seemed a little idle as she couldn't really get involved in the conversation between the two parties.

But she hadn't been doing anything for long when she suddenly got inspired.

Because Xin felt that someone was trying to contact his soul and build a communication link, and this person could only be——

[Ms. Doll, you actually know this! ]

Ming Fuluo ignored her completely and asked directly:

[This woman, has her greed just expanded? ]

[Greed? Oh...yes! It's expanded quite a bit.]

What is her inner voice?

[I...I didn't pay attention just now]

Xin responded with a guilty conscience, yet also a sense of relief.

It seems that Miss Doll relies on my power very much and trusts me very much. She doesn't doubt me. That's great.

Ming Fuluo did not ask any further questions - she had already guessed what the situation was with the woman opposite her.

In the fight for power, it is not necessary to engage in direct fighting. Forbearance and concession can be a means. Although Ming Fuluo did not understand this, she was smart enough.

If an heir without sufficient foundation wants to stand out, he can only take unconventional means. Anser's kindness and mercy have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his courage and decisiveness also make the extraordinary people feel intimidated. This Ellalo just wants to create a gentle image, and when Anser starts to settle accounts one by one and reshuffle the situation in the empire, he will use this image to take the throne in an unconventional way.

As the second daughter of a grand duke family, does she need to do disaster relief herself? Does she need to live in such a shabby apartment in such a grand manner? If she really wanted to, even if she was sitting in her own luxurious manor, she could use her own resources to do more things that would truly benefit Kaixuan Port City - at least building a road would not be difficult at all.

It's nothing more than... letting others see your goodness.

That's really clumsy.

This clumsy imitation of trying to get into Anser's field of vision made Ming Fuluo even more unhappy.

Just one idiot imitating Ansher was already annoying her, and if there was another one, and an even more clumsy one at that, it would be almost reaching Ming Furo's limit of tolerance.

"I will indeed solve the problems of Kaixuan Port City. Kaixuan Port City and even Donggang do need a suitable leader."

Ming Fuluo's words made Ella Luo's eyes light up slightly, but the next second, her expression froze.

"But that person won't be you. You are not qualified."

This condescending and visible disdain made Elalo's lips tremble. After a few seconds, she smiled and said, "You are joking. I have never thought of becoming a ruler, Ms. Zeger. I really don't have the qualifications."

Ming Fuluo didn't care how reluctant Elalo was when he said this. She just nodded slightly, her tone still indifferent: "Nothing else, I'll leave."

If this was all there was, Ming Furo would really regret wasting so much time with Xin.

"...Please wait, I still have some questions, some, some questions about the Empire."

Elalo asked cautiously, "Excuse me, could you please take up a little of Ms. Zeger's time?"

Under normal circumstances, Ming Furo would of course just ignore her and leave, but if she left now, it would be a complete waste of time.

The explanation was not bad. After all, it was an issue at the empire level, so she had a reason to stay.

At least it's not useless...

Thinking of this, Ming Fuluo nodded with annoyance.

After receiving this response, Xin, who was sitting by the window like an outsider, visibly breathed a sigh of relief - she knew that she was not good at doing this yet, so she had to try her best not to be discovered by Miss Doll.

Somewhat clever, but not much.

After receiving Xin's order, Elalo took a deep breath and asked carefully, "I have always admired the ideals of His Royal Highness the Regent, and naturally I also admire you and Miss Lance who follow him."

"In this empire... there are too few people like you, Your Highness the Regent."

The woman lowered her head and quickly got into the mood, with an extremely sad expression. In terms of acting skills, Ming Fuluo identified her as being twenty times better than Xin.

"To be honest, I... I don't see any hope of change, so I placed my hope in God when I was young. Looking back on all these years, if I didn't have this faith... I might not be where I am today."

"So." Elalo leaned forward and looked at Ming Fuluo with great admiration. "I want to know how you plan to change the empire. Where will you and His Royal Highness the Regent lead the empire?"

Method? No… not a method.

That idiot saint who only wants to redeem me won't care what I want to do. Since her original motivation all comes from the desire to redeem me, then without being able to read my mind...

Humph, it’s not the method, it’s the motivation.

Since Xin is learning from Anser, Ming Furo only needs to adopt Anser's thinking mode.

It is meaningless to try to manipulate people's hearts and do superficial actions. Anser will only pursue the other person's essence.

So what Xin wanted to know was not what Ming Furo wanted to do, but... why.
