After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

For this matter?

Aize was stunned for a moment:

"Well, how should I put it? He was indeed assassinated? But that was part of the plan, and they couldn't have succeeded, so it can't really be considered a close call..."

"But he was assassinated, right?"

"..."

"Right?"

"……Well."

"Right!?"

Under Villian's amazing momentum and relentless pressure, Aize unconsciously took two steps back and soon bumped into the wall.

I didn't do anything wrong, but I acted like a primary school student who made a mistake.

Don't know why.

"……Correct."

Seeing that Villian looked like she was about to lose her temper, Aize had no choice but to nod.

"Feel sorry."

I even apologized subconsciously.

Anyway, it’s always right for a girl to apologize first when she’s angry.

probably.

After receiving a positive answer, Miss Witch let out a long sigh.

Then she flicked her hair, turned her eyes to the side, and continued with a sullen expression:

"Really? You were away for a while, and you did something dangerous like this again, and you didn't even tell me! You know I just wanted to take a bath, but I heard about this kind of thing. I almost died of anger—"

As he spoke, his feet kept tapping the ground, and he looked really unhappy.

"Uh… excuse me?"

"What's the point of apologizing? Apologize!? Aren't you relying on that amulet to save your life? What if the opponent moves faster and you don't have time to use it? Or if they use other methods, such as poisoning, what will you do? And..."

Miss Witch's dissatisfaction hit Aize like a machine gun.

When facing others, maybe you can still talk some sense.

But Vallivi's annoyance and anger, which were based on pure worry and without any negative emotions, really didn't respond to reason.

We can only stand next to each other.

This torrential output lasted for several minutes.

I'm tired of talking and I've finished venting.

Knowing that her preaching was useless, Villian stopped.

He sighed deeply again:

"Forget it. You won't listen anyway, so there's no point in telling me. How about I just customize a spell and put it on you to monitor the situation 24 hours a day?"

This is a bit scary. Aize, who has been numb, can't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"…This, uh, is this a joke?"

"Who knows? If you keep doing these things from me next time, maybe you'll be serious. Or maybe you could just turn your body into a puppet?"

While saying scary words, Miss Witch, one of the former thirteen leaders, licked her lips.

His expression then became extremely serious, and he even raised his chin as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

After finishing, he nodded seriously.

"Well, that seems pretty good, doesn't it?"

"I have something else to do, so... first..."

"Just kidding, don't take it too seriously~"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Aize wanted to run away, but the latter grabbed his wrist with a smile.

"What's it called? Yandere? It's called Yandere, right? You told me before, I just tried to act it out, hehe, how does it feel?"

It doesn't look like acting.

When he said those words just now, there was no light in his eyes.

After all, this guy's appearance and attributes actually have a yandere temperament.

Could it be that I accidentally taught her something incredible?

As if she had noticed his thoughts, the witch smiled, took out a small glass bottle from her pocket, and put it to Aize's mouth.

"Come on, open your mouth and drink this, ah~"

"what is this?"

"They're just some ordinary potions to replenish your energy. They're definitely not some suspicious sleeping potion. It's impossible to take a sip and then wake up as a puppet or something like that~"

As she said this, the fake smile on Villian's face grew even stronger.

Seeing that Aize's pupils were shaking more and more violently, she finally shrugged, put the things back into her pocket, and then patted his shoulder fiercely:

"What? You're not serious, are you? I was just kidding. If I really did that, the slave contract we established would kill me."

Oh yeah, I forgot about this.

Aize, who was stunned by the other party's acting skills, finally came to his senses.

Then he became angry and embarrassed.

"No, no, no, that's not the question. Who would normally pull such a scary joke?! Your acting is so good I can't tell if it's real or fake!"

"Where is the person? Didn't I just open it?"

"you--"

"Oh, by the way, I'm a witch, not a human, so it's okay to say that."

As she spoke, Villian waved her hand as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, who told you to worry me? I'll just scare you, so we'll be even. But... hehe, how should I put it, your reaction just now was really interesting? It was so cute that for a moment I wanted to put it into action~"

Villian's ridicule became more and more outrageous.

There's no way around it. Who made Aize the one who was wrong first and then got cheated?

Perhaps she felt that it was enough, and Villian's laughter quickly stopped.

Then he put on a serious expression, glanced at the closed door next to Aize, and asked:

"That annoying princess, how is she doing now?"

"Um?"

"Didn't she faint and be carried back to her room? The news has spread throughout the palace."

The regent was wanted, and the princess had a mental breakdown because of this. It was impossible to conceal such a big event in the chaotic palace.

It was normal for Villian to hear the news.

After thinking for a moment, Aize shook his head:

"Physically, there's nothing wrong with her. After all, she's the strongest defensive hero, so it won't be that easy for her to get into trouble. But mentally... it's hard to say."

In the past, when Heidi's self-protection mechanism was still working, she could get away with anything by relying on her so-called royal dignity and honor.

Although it makes her look like a clown, it is indeed very effective in protecting her sanity.

Now, that protection is gone.

And anything new enough to be called a belief is still far from being established.

Aize couldn't guarantee what would happen to her in the future.

And, does her torment really end here?

Regent Arthur's motive for the crime is unknown.

But Aize's intuition told him that the answer to this question would definitely not be a pleasant thing for Heidi.

Chapter 87 Being stupid

"What are your plans next?"

"Um?"

"If you don't have any plans, could you come over and keep me company for a while? I have to go out for something, and if you're free for the time being, why don't we go together?"

"Um……"

Villian's suggestion made Aize fall into thought for a moment.

At present, Arthur has escaped without a trace. The Knights have spent nearly a day digging the safe zone three feet deep, but still have not been able to find his whereabouts.

He was probably hiding in some highly secret place that had been prepared long ago.

Even whether we are still in the safe zone is a question.

In short, there will definitely be no progress for a while.

As for Heidi in the room behind her, for her, whether she was unconscious or asleep, it was a blessing to be able to have some time without being tortured by all the mess.

Let her rest as long as she can.

As for other aspects, now that all the clues have been exhausted, there is really nothing to do for the time being.

To sum up, Aize is really a bit free now.

Then he nodded:

"No problem, where to?"

"Infected area."

"Uh, the infected area?"

"Ah."

Miss Witch nodded.

"There's something I need to confirm."

What Villian said she wanted to confirm was most likely related to the ancient ritual she was trying to decipher.

Since it is related to the current situation in the royal capital, and for safety reasons, it is best to bring a team of knights along - half a second before Aize subconsciously said this, he reacted and swallowed it.

After all, Villian clearly mentioned two people.

If he even offered to bring people with him, not to mention whether it would make Miss Witch angry, just Aize's own emotional intelligence would be hopeless.

Anyway, he nodded:

"Let's go."

"Okay~"

After receiving a positive answer, Villian seemed to be in an unusually good mood.

After briefly greeting Constantine, the two of them passed through the temporary walls and iron gates and came to the infected area on the other side of the defense line.

Chaotic streets, the air filled with the smell of blood, the sky filled with strange fog, dark figures moving through the shadows and buildings on both sides of the road, and roars that sounded from time to time.

The hellish scene was no different from what I had seen and heard in the past few days.

This made Aize sigh.

Even if he found out the whole story, the blood plague that had already spread would not disappear.

And if they were to rely on the forces at hand to completely wipe out the blood slaves hiding in various places in the royal capital, it would take an unimaginable amount of time and energy.
