After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"I didn't expect that, Princess, you actually found a reliable reinforcement. Unfortunately, I didn't watch out for them, and they were targeted by the terrifying, starving vampires~"

As he said that, he licked Aize's neck gently as if provokingly.

Aize himself had goosebumps all over his body.

And Heidi—who was already so angry that she had almost lost her mind—almost immediately reached out and pushed Elena aside, snatched the sword from her hand, and forced her way forward.

"I've been looking for you, vampire. I didn't expect you to show up here on your own. Let Aize go!"

"No, I haven't had time to enjoy it yet~"

The vampire girl stuck out her tongue, and used her left hand, which was holding Aize's body, to exert more force. At the same time, she changed the position of her right hand and directly covered Aize's mouth.

He was not allowed to speak at this critical moment.

And Heidi wanted to rush up and chop this ignorant demon to pieces.

But after all, the other party is using Aize as a threat at the moment, so it is not easy to take action.

He could only glare at the other person with gritted teeth, as there was no better way for the moment.

The provocation of the vampire girl continued:

"Or, how about we make a deal?"

"……what?"

"I'm tired of the city's ordinary food. There's no point in staying here any longer. If you give me this thing, I'll evacuate the capital immediately. How about that?"

"you--"

Heidi was so angry that she was speechless, but the vampire girl continued to attack:

"What? What's there to be angry about? After all, you brought this guy all the way here, just like before, aren't you counting on him to help you solve your problems?"

"Then what's the difference between letting him slowly solve the problem and giving him to me directly? Isn't that all he's worth in your opinion anyway?"

"I……"

These words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head.

Heidi's whole body suddenly went limp, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground.

Even the anger that had just been radiating disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Just like before."

"I'm counting on him to help me solve the problem."

"That's all it's worth."

Every sentence is a critical hit.

Heidi couldn't refute it at all. She just collapsed there, her face gradually turning pale.

“…What the hell are you playing at!?”

Seeing the situation developing in a strange direction, Aize finally understood the situation and struggled for a while, and finally escaped from the opponent's suppression.

Said to the vampire girl:

"The situation is already confusing enough, don't make it more complicated!"

"I can't help it. I've been annoyed with this self-proclaimed princess for a long time. I'm just trying to help you vent your anger, hey~"

The oppressive aura just now disappeared without a trace.

The girl tilted her head with a cute smile on her face and even stuck out her tongue.

"You..."

Aize covered his face deeply.

The princess slumped on the ground and the Knight Commander beside her were understandably bewildered.

Have no idea what's going on.

Being stuck in the middle, Aize, exhausted from all the hard work, sighed deeply.

He looked at the two of them and explained:

"This girl is Charlotte Elizabeth, a high-level vampire. She is also one of my main informants and partners on the demon side."

Heidi raised her head mechanically:

"...partner?"

Aize nodded tiredly:

"Yes, so no matter what nonsense she said before, I suggest you don't take it seriously. This incident, in all likelihood, has nothing to do with her."

Chapter 60: Private Engagement - Does Not Exist

Heidi is now full of doubts, and the anger that has been pent up in her stomach for a month is far from being released.

Normally, even if the vampire in front of her really had nothing to do with the current tragic situation in the royal capital, she would not allow the other party to walk out alive out of anger.

But after all, Aize, who was in charge, had spoken, so she had no reason or qualifications to object.

I can only suppress my nausea and anger and talk to the other person for the time being.

Elena, on the other hand, stood guard outside the study door.

After all, in the current situation, it is better not to let the general public know that you have any connection with the vampires other than fighting until the matter becomes clear.

Otherwise, not only will it affect the already low morale, it may even cause major riots.

In short, the three of them sat down around a small round table in the study.

Before she even sat down, Heidi couldn't wait to speak:

"Aize, what's going on? Why are you associating with high-level vampires?!"

Unlike Leah, who was single-minded and had only the goddess in her mind, Heidi had heard about the intelligence network that Aize had established among the demons.

But I don't know the details.

In her opinion, it is nothing more than developing some bottom-level and middle-level personnel.

Didn't expect it to be so big?

In response, Aize just shrugged:

"Well, actually..."

"That was about a year ago. I was betrayed and hunted by my own men, and fled all the way to human territory."

Before Aize could finish his words, the vampire girl, Charlotte, spoke first.

"When I was seriously injured, he picked me up and fed me his own blood, saving my life. Ah~ I miss the taste of that time so much. If only I could taste it again..."

As he said this, he put on a sad expression and naturally pressed down on Aize's body - mainly on his neck.

He was pushed away by the latter who looked speechless.

"The above is pure nonsense. It's not that complicated."

In order to prevent the situation from developing in a more bizarre direction, Aize hurried to explain.

"The truth is, about a year and a half ago, I began screening and searching for potential anti-Demon Lords and anti-war figures among the demon tribe based on various information, and I wanted to contact and cooperate with them. That's when I got in touch with her."

The various forces within humanity are constantly in conflict, and each has its own little calculations.

But when it comes to the invasion of the demons, except for a traitor like Brian, everyone else can still regard it as a consensus.

But the demons are different.

As mentioned before, although the demon clan is a general term, the various forces within it are actually not the same species in all aspects.

Huge physiological and ecological differences lead to completely different values.

The previous Demon King relied on his own skills to unite the demons to a certain extent and launched the war.

However, while its extreme measures unite a group of people, they will inevitably push another group further away, thus causing extremely huge conflicts.

These contradictions can be temporarily shelved when the situation is favorable.

Once the situation becomes serious, they will immediately erupt.

Then, we will have an opportunity.

It was because of this realization that Aize started this work early.

The results are also very effective.

There are many people like Charlotte who hate humans... hate most humans, but who also wish the Demon King and the demons dead.

Facing Aize's explanation, Charlotte covered her mouth with a sad face:

"Aize, how can you say that? Have you forgotten that we secretly agreed to spend our lives together?!"

"Don't just fabricate memories that don't exist! When the hell did I ever say anything like that!?"

Although in terms of strength and intelligence value, Charlotte is impeccable.

But as a long-lived race whose actual age is a few billion older than their appearance, this guy's personality is quite difficult to deal with.

At first glance, she looks a bit like Vivian.

But in reality, this guy is much more offensive and more difficult to deal with.

Watching the interaction between the two, Heidi's eyes kept wandering.

Finally, it fell on Charlotte, pointed at her and said with gritted teeth:

"You said she had nothing to do with this incident!? But this guy clearly said before that the situation in the capital was caused by them! What's going on?!"

It refers to what happened in the bedroom before Heidi left the capital.

Although in the end, that contact gave her a push and made the princess determined to find Aize.

But those remarks at that time really broke her defenses.

That's why Heidi is so petty.

Facing the princess's question, Charlotte simply said with disdain:

"You mean that? Things aren't going well for me in this city, and I can't get in touch with Aize. Thinking about it, it seems only you can play the role of the messenger and bring him here."

After saying that, he snorted again, and then revealed a very happy smile:

"Your frustrated expression at that time, haha, was really interesting. If time wasn't urgent, I really wanted to draw it, frame it, and look at it every day, hahahahaha——"

Undisguised ridicule and contempt.

Heidi couldn't help but clench her fists, even causing cracks in the cup in her hand.

He slammed the table and stood up:

"Why would you do this? What good would it do to target me?"

The two had never met before.

Until this incident, Heidi and the vampires had no conflicts.

But she would rather complicate things and torture herself.

Heidi didn't understand the reason.

"Why do you do this? Do you even need to ask this kind of question?"

The vampire girl glanced at Aize next to her.

"There was this person who, although he was a human and an enemy, was exceptionally outstanding. However, within his own team, he was not treated as he deserved, and could even be said to have suffered humiliation and torture."

"I really couldn't bear it. I once offered him to become my retainer, but he refused. He's been stuck in the demon clan's territory, and there's nothing I can do."

"But there are some people who, despite being his fiancée, rely on him to solve even the smallest problems, yet ignore him when he's in trouble. Haha, don't you think we should target people like that?"

"..."

As the person involved, Heidi naturally knows very well who each of these characters refers to.

She was hit in the vitals again in a short period of time and was trembling all over, speechless.
