Chi Yu had a strange expression: "Doctor Lester?"

Leicester?

……No way.

The maid nodded dully: "Dr. Helen is old after all, and has been feeling unwell recently, so I recommended Dr. Leicester to do weekly check-ups for His Highness..."

"I see."

Chi Yu stood up and said, "Take me to the reception room."

"Oh, okay, okay." The maid was stunned for two seconds before reacting, "Please come with me..."

When passing by the maid, Chi Yu turned to look at her and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest. Just find someone to take over the shift."

She recognized it at a glance. She was one of the two maids who were knocked unconscious by Flair last night and fed with medicine.

"Huh? No, it's nothing..." the maid tried to quibble.

"I'll forget it." Chi Yu didn't look back, "Do you want to use such a clumsy lie to deceive the Duke?"

The maid shuddered and woke up completely.

She caught up with Chi Yu's back in a few steps: "I understand."

"Thank you... Your Highness."

Chi Yu waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to pay attention.

Compared with the place where he met Belial before, this place was obviously more in line with Chi Yu's stereotype of a "reception room".

At least it's a sealed room.

Perhaps the matter of "checking the body" was relatively private, or perhaps the kind reminder just now had an effect. After taking Chi Yu to the place, the maid who led the way did not stay in the room, but chose to guard the door. outside.

"Bang" sound.

The door closes.

Chi Yu looked at the figure sitting on the sofa.

Sure enough, it was Flair.

Chi Yu sat down opposite and said straight to the point: "Why are you here?"

"How much do you know about Duke Belial?" Fryer asked.

Chi Yu was silent for two seconds, then shook his head: "I don't know much."

Fryer had already predicted it: "As early as the founding of the country, the Belial family was a famous noble in the kingdom."

"In that battle three hundred years ago, countless families were drowned in the torrent of history because they were unable to withstand the impact of the war."

"However, the Belial family is a special case."

"The then Duke of Belial miraculously seized every tiny opportunity, swam upstream, and built the power of the Belial family to a peak."

"To this day, the bright glory of the Belial family still shows no sign of fading away."

Fryer's expression was serious, "In the hearts of the nobles, the Belial family is a clear flag and the anchor of Leiden."

"In the eyes of the people, Duke Belial is generous, kind and kind to others... Some people even think that Duke Belial is more suitable to sit in the position of 'ruler' than the princess who has been reclusive all year round."

Chi Yu pursed his lips and sighed half-seriously: "I guessed that his prestige was very high, but I didn't expect... that it would be so high."

"more than."

Fryer smiled inexplicably, "Do you know who spread the news that Princess Adele is the apostle and incarnation of the devil?"

Chi Yu was stunned for a moment: "...Beryl?"

"Very smart." Fryer confirmed, "Yes, it is indeed related to the Belial family."

Chi Yu lowered his eyes slightly and suddenly thought of something: "Day of Fire..."

Flair glanced at her in surprise.

"...You guessed it right."

She whispered, "The order to execute the princess tomorrow was also issued by Quilter Belial."

Ah this...

Chi Yu fell into deep thought.

What is this called...kill first and save later?

Flair was equally confused by this: "Are you sure that the person who secretly trained you is Quilter Belial?"

"I'm sure." Chi Yu said firmly.

Even if it was just a guess before, after the conversation with the real princess Adele Criss in the early morning... everything has become clear.

"That's very strange...what is his purpose?"

If he wanted to kill the princess and take the throne himself, why would he prepare a substitute for the princess?

To say that he wanted to save the princess...but everything started because of him. If he had not spread the news that "the princess is equal to the devil", there would have been no Fire Day.

this moment.

Chi Yu understood.

"Quilt Belial...he really wants to kill the princess."

Flair tilted his head in confusion.

Chi Yu, who was not interrupted, continued, "But... what he wants to erase is not Adele Chris as a person, but just her identity as a 'prince'."

"what do you mean……"

"Did you know that Adele Chris is a temple priest?"

"Ah, I know." Fryer thought for a moment and added, "Just because she is a priest, the princess has always been regarded as the spokesperson of the gods in Leiden."

"It is precisely because of this... that she was contaminated by the devil and degenerated into the incarnation of the devil, which caused such a huge response among the people and nobles."

"In the eyes of those loyal believers, the spokesperson's corruption is undoubtedly a kind of blasphemy against the gods."

Chi Yu suddenly said: "No...it's not 'fall'."

Flair was stunned: "What?"

"Adele has not fallen." Chi Yu whispered, "She and Quilter Belial have always been followers of the devil."

Flair opened his mouth.

"No, it's impossible!" She frowned, "How can a believer of the devil become a priest of the Temple of Order?"

Chi Yu asked instead, "You, including the girl named Xingxing yesterday, should all represent the will of the god in the Temple of Order, right?"

Flair's pupils flickered several times: "...Yes."

"Kill Adele Chris and find out the demon hidden in the royal city. Is this a revelation given to you by the gods?"

"Yes."

Chi Yu nodded: "If I guessed correctly, you should have just arrived in Kangsi City not long ago, right?"

Flair's pupils shrank, and he realized something instantly.

"Have you ever thought about..." Chi Yu then asked, "Why does the man from the Temple of Order convey the oracle to outsiders like you?"

"Why are only the three of you involved in such an important operation to assassinate the princess?"

"Because..." Fryer murmured, "The entire Kangsi...has fallen?"

“It doesn’t have to be the whole of Cons.”

Chi Yu said, "But at least the princess and the duke, who represent the upper class, have long abandoned their former beliefs."

"And, one thing is beyond doubt - currently, in the fight against the devil, the god you believe in is clearly at a disadvantage."

"In this case, it is not surprising that the princess, who is a 'devil believer', can secure her position as a temple priest."

Flair was silent for a long time, reluctantly accepting this reality: "...and then what?"

"The reason why Adele can become a temple priest is related to one of her special abilities."

Chi Yu said, "She can hear the revelation from the devil."

"Quilt Belial values ​​this precisely, so he doesn't want to actually kill her."

Repeatedly modifying

Although, I still feel that something is not quite right. It’s hard to write. It doesn’t feel smooth to the end. I don’t know how to change it... maybe I’m just too tired. orz
