"Your Majesty, Your Highness Adele."

Duke Belial chuckled softly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine." Chi Yu lowered his eyes, "Mr. Belial came here today. Is there anything important?"

"It's not very important." Belial said, "Compared with this, I specially asked the chef to prepare today's breakfast. They are all specialties from the North. I hope His Highness will like it."

Chi Yu's brows wrinkled almost imperceptibly.

This guy... has such a considerate attitude, it always gives me the feeling of being malicious.

But no matter what, she doesn't know anything about the situation now... she can only play along.

Chi Yu pretended to be curious: "Northland? If I remember correctly..."

"Yes, that's my hometown."

"I see." Chi Yu nodded seriously, "I will taste it carefully."

Duke Belial smiled gently.

As "nobles", both of them strictly abide by table manners when eating. Even if they used silver knives and forks, they didn't make the slightest sound.

The first time I ate, I felt like I was being tortured...

Chi Yu slandered.

She carefully cut a piece of ham, and just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she heard Duke Belial on the opposite side say: "Last night, two little mice broke into the temple."

……mouse?

Chi Yu chewed for a while.

Of course, she couldn't naively think that this "rat" was a real rat. There was a high probability... that it was a human being.

Moreover, the temple...

The task given by Melsetas is to put the crescent moon necklace into the temple altar...

Leiden, a country ruled by demons.

The Patriotic War three hundred years ago took it on a completely different path than before...

If she remembered correctly, when she was studying the "Book of the Moon Messenger" in Redmoon, Shatta had mentioned to her that there used to be a demon who ruled Leiden. He had a bad character and completely ignored the believers. Life or death.

Therefore, when the Kingdom of Clouds, which was still under the rule of "Supervisor" Tiffina, launched a war against Leiden, it was the "Hand of Rules" who provided assistance to Leiden.

Could it be...that this is what the so-called "different paths" are about?

What is enshrined in that temple is the "Hand of Rules"?

But aren't the Lady of Justice and the Hand of Rules hostile to each other? When he first entered the dungeon, Melsetas clearly said that he had reached an agreement with someone...or a certain god...

Hostile to each other, but occasionally cooperative...

The relationship between gods is really complicated.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Chi Yu's mind.

She swallowed the food in her mouth: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Belial smiled, "Those two guys are pretty good and may even have some special skills. But... everything is still under control."

"That's good."

Chi Yu nodded obediently on the surface, but a sudden thought suddenly flashed through his heart.

Mastering special skills... Couldn't those two be players?

Unfortunately, there is no way to verify it.

"I heard..." On the opposite side, Belial changed the subject, "Last night, His Highness went to the basement?"

Chi Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly and he gently put down the silver fork in his hand.

interesting.

I heard...who said it?

What happened just last night, I received the news this morning... No, it came directly to his door this morning. In other words, he received the secret report in the early morning or earlier.

Combined with the attitude of the previous maid.

He was extremely respectful and fearful of a duke, but he completely ignored the views and opinions of his "princess".

...so interesting.

Chi Yu lowered his eyes and said in a low tone: "I..."

"Your Highness does not need to explain to me."

Duke Belial smiled slightly and said, "I understand your Highness's thoughts."

"It's just that...in order for our plan to proceed smoothly, some people are destined to sacrifice."

"Your Highness, there is no need to have any unnecessary sympathy for her."

"after all……"

Duke Belial chuckled, his tone still gentle...but with a hint of inexplicable coldness.

"She was born... just to die for Your Highness."

Chi Yu opened his eyes slightly and quickly lowered his head to hide his surprise.

"...I understand." She responded in a low voice.

"Your Highness, it's good if you understand."

Belial smiled softly.

After that, neither of them spoke anymore.

After finishing breakfast quietly, Duke Belial did not stay long and quickly left.

By the way, before leaving, he specifically told the maid accompanying him: Be sure to take good care of Her Royal Highness...

But to Chi Yu, it sounds like "surveillance" rather than care...

"You came here so early in the morning just to give me a warning?"

Chi Yu complained in his heart, "It's so leisurely."

Although she is a princess and the apparent ruler of Leiden, she does not seem to have to deal with the country's internal affairs.

As soon as breakfast time ended, Chi Yu was "escorted" back to the bedroom by the maid.

"She is really a puppet princess."

Looking at the closed door, Chi Yu sighed.

However, this is fine.

At least I can have more time to sort out the current situation and look for clues.

After recalling all his experiences from entering the dungeon to now, Chi Yu quickly extracted a few key words: "Day of burning, curse, princess, someone destined to die for the princess..."

"It was the princess who was going to die. However, Duke Belial conspired with the princess to create a...'replacement'?"

"No, that's not right... Judging from Duke Belial's attitude this morning, he should be leading the replacement plan. Although the princess knows about it, she has been opposing the advancement of the plan out of sympathy..."

Of course, the so-called "opposition to the advancement of the plan" is just Chi Yu's conjecture. After all, she is the princess now... As a person, she always hopes that her image will be more honorable and upright.

In fact, regardless of the attitude of the original princess, just looking at her current situation, she knew that she could not influence Belial's thoughts at all... let alone anything else.

A puppet, a puppet controlled by others... Does it matter what her thoughts are?

Chi Yu retracted his divergent thoughts and returned to the previous problem.

"The one who was originally going to be executed was Princess Adele. As for the method... maybe it was the 'burning punishment' mentioned in the main mission."

"Burn directly to death?"

"It's a bit cruel..."

Generally speaking, even if the princess's crime is really heinous, being pushed to the guillotine is the ultimate outcome. In terms of punishment by fire, combined with the Western background of the copy...

She was reminded of the witch trials of the Middle Ages.

"Could it be that I'm actually a witch?"

Chi Yu looked at his hands and said, "I don't feel anything at all..."

Forget it, I don’t want to have these.

"We have finally figured out what happened on the Day of Fire. The next question is..."

"Why is Adele, a princess, burdened with a 'curse'?"
