The Unemployed Demon Lord

But the United Kingdom is a coalition parliamentary system, which does not belong to any of the races, but belongs to the nine major alien races.

Randomly pulling one of the strongest human empires is not as powerful as the United Kingdom, but all human empires combined are stronger than the United Kingdom.

Therefore, as a little princess of the elves, it is not surprising that Shirley took out 100 million gold coins for pocket money, and Princess Michelle could only escape with 35 gold coins by tightening her belt.

Moreover, the one hundred thousand and one million gold coins are the sum of the little princesses' pocket money in a few years, which must include part of their savings.

For example, Cecilia, the daughter of the Duke of Rose, hired Merlin once, and whether she can be hired again after that is two different things.

Because the amount of hiring Merlin once, it is very likely that Cecilia's pocket money and savings for several years have been overdrawn.

Otherwise, it would be too much money for adventurers to accept private commissions, which is obviously not in line with the actual situation.

If the princesses can easily spend so much money, why don't they frequently hire Merlin to do things for them?

Merlin leaned lazily on the sofa, thinking that he probably wouldn't need this holy silver sword, but he should carry it with him. He put the holy silver sword back into its sheath, put both swords on the table, and wanted to rest up.

At this time, Alice came with hot milk, and the sky-blue pajamas she was wearing were a little light, and she kept shaking as she walked.

Although the snow-white skin under Alice's skirt is extremely attractive, Merlin has no interest in her in that respect.

"Drink a glass of milk before going to bed, it will help you sleep."

Alice put the cup in front of Merlin, then sat next to him with her own cup, and kept stirring the hot cow's brain with a spoon, probably adding some sugar.

"Oh, thank you." Merlin stood up and picked up the hot milk.

"You actually said thank you to me, it's really rare..." Alice seemed to have discovered a new world, her face full of surprise.

"Uh..." Merlin was startled, he didn't pay attention at all, so he coughed, "Hey, I'm just talking casually. After all, I'm an elegant and arrogant monarch. A reasonable expression of gratitude shows that I'm educated."

"Tch!" Alice curled her lips, stirring the milk inexplicably faster, as if she was sulking.

"It's you, who specially warmed the milk for me. You don't want to ask for something, do you?" Merlin showed a very playful expression.

"Who... who can I ask you for? It's not the first time for you to warm up your milk, can you not be so sensitive? I just..." Alice rolled her eyes strangely, and said proudly, "It's just We are about to go out to carry out a new mission, you are my companion, you need to drink a cup of hot cow brain to sleep, and then you will be assigned to me as a cow and a horse, hum~!"

"You stink, you..." Merlin cursed unhappily, and continued, "About this journey, we need to go to Ireland to find out about the situation with Baron Patton, and I heard from Austin that he served as a soldier in the Edinburgh Garrison Corps." Chief, after retiring two years ago as the city lord of Galway City, we may need to prepare..."

"Yeah." Alice nodded absent-mindedly, holding the cup in both hands, seemingly worried.

Merlin fell silent. Thinking about going to Ireland, it seemed that he could still meet that young madam. Johnson, who was known as a magic genius, really had a narrow road to enemies, and he would always meet them.

"Hey..." Alice muttered.

"Ah, I know what you're going to say? We're leaving tomorrow, so save time, right?" Merlin looked at Alice and saw that she had a weird reaction.

"No...it's not..." Alice frowned and retorted, looking a little annoyed.

"Then what are you going to say?" Merlin became puzzled, feeling that Alice was always in a trance today.

"That..." Alice scratched her cheek with her fingers, so she could turn her head away and avoid Merlin's sight

"In the eyes of outsiders..."

"Are we really that much of a couple?"

(????ω????)?

Chapter 19: Ideal

Alice turned her head away to prevent Merlin from seeing her pretty face that was a little red.

She didn't have any messy ideas, but felt that many people would treat herself and Merlin as a couple without even thinking about it.

In this regard, Alice really wanted to know what Merlin thought, and whether there would be any different views.

Especially today, Alice and Merlin had some physical contact, were hugged in their arms, and called "wife" one by one, showing off their affection...

Although Alice didn't really hate this in her heart, she even liked being with Merlin quite a bit.

But I always feel a little weird, what is the relationship between me and Merlin?

It's really abnormal to get tired of being crooked together every day like this!

Alice thinks that she and Merlin are still potential enemies, but she seems to want to tie him to her more and more. This is not a good sign, and she will not be able to explain the relationship between herself and Merlin in the future.

So now Alice really wants to insinuate, ask Merlin what kind of attitude he has towards her, and if she... has a similar feeling of wanting to be together.

After listening to Alice's inexplicable question, Merlin couldn't help frowning, touched his chin and muttered, "That's right, I've explained it many times, but many people will be regarded as husband and wife by default when they see me together with you. It's not normal..."

"Right... right? I feel very strange, why..." Alice lowered her head, her behavior was a little twitchy, "Why are we always treated as husband and wife, as if... it's somewhere in the world It was destined..."

After saying this, Alice's face turned even redder, and she didn't dare to raise her head to look at Merlin at all.

Alice swears, these are the most disgusting words she has ever said in her life, even she herself feels unwell.

In fact, what Alice said was very euphemistic. What she meant was that she and Merlin were blessed by fate. Fate is here, they are destined to be together, so some people always misunderstand that they are husband and wife.

However, Merlin didn't like this, and commented with a serious black face, "Well, I also feel the malice from the whole world in the dark, like a curse, subtly bringing you and me together, really terrible……"

"Uh." Alice turned her head, her eyebrows furrowed, she thought that Merlin could say something romantic, but in the end she regarded being with her as full of malice, and she shuddered! ?

Merlin noticed Alice's ugly face, and asked in surprise, "What kind of eyes do you have? Am I wrong?"

"Of course not! Why are you not misunderstood with other girls? Whenever you are with me, you will be considered a couple. Isn't there a very subtle connection?" Alice narrowed her eyes, trying to complicate the problem change.

"What do you want to express?" Merlin responded blankly.

"We...we are always misunderstood, could it be because of...that assumption..." Alice hesitated, blushing and courageously said, "Assume that I am...I am the other half of your destiny! !"

As soon as the voice fell, the air in the room suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Apart from Alice's tense breathing, there seemed to be no other movement.

Alice was both nervous and excited inside, but also a little looking forward to seeing Merlin's reaction.

The meaning of the other half in fate is already very clear. Alice just wants to hear Merlin's answer, whether she wants to be with her.

"Hahahahaha..."

Merlin's reaction was a little unexpected and he laughed directly, leaning on the sofa and looking at Alice with strange eyes.

"Laughing... What are you laughing at!? What's so ridiculous!" Alice pouted angrily, feeling that Merlin didn't respect herself.

"What doomed other half? What joke are you kidding? Didn't you realize that I was just cooperating with you to commit a crime just now?" Merlin showed sympathy for the fool.

"What...what?" Alice wondered, what did Merlin mean by not moving.

Merlin pulled the black iron adventurer around his neck to prove, "Miss, our information is engraved on it, and anyone who sees it will of course think that we are husband and wife, don't you think too much? Also... the other half of fate, the girl Mary Sue, has a different brain circuit..."

Alice's face slowly turned red, like a pot of boiling water, steaming hot.

Sure enough, this is the case, how could Merlin have the idea of ​​being with him?

In the end, I still thought too much. After all, he is a devil, and it is impossible for him to be as emotional as me.

Alice forced a smile to hide her embarrassment.

"That's right. Sure enough, I'm thinking too much, right? We spend a lot of time together, so it's inevitable that we'll be familiar enough to misunderstand others, right?"

"It should be like this..." Merlin nodded, pretending to ask casually, "Actually, you don't like mine, do you?"

"This... of course, I... I hate you so much, how could I have feelings for you?" Alice said with a half-smile, and she couldn't get off the stage at all.

"Hahaha, what a coincidence, me too." Merlin was a little speechless by Alice's "hate you", so he had to bite the bullet and say, "It's obvious, we don't like each other, so The other half of the fate is completely impossible."

"Yes... yes, after I figured it out, I feel more relieved." Alice waved her hand, she looked normal on the surface, but she was extremely disappointed in her heart, "It's getting late, good night."

"Good night." With a drop of cold sweat streaming down Merlin's forehead, he watched Alice go back to his room.

Alice returned to the room, closing the door softly in order not to let Merlin notice her loss.

After confirming that Merlin would never see her again, Alice thumped on the bed, hugging the pillow and feeling sad alone

In the end it was all my own wishful thinking.

Merlin this guy...

It never even occurred to me to be with you.

qaq

outside.

A layer of haze appeared on Merlin's face, looking at Alice's closed door and thinking.

Sure enough, Alice still has a lot of opinions on me.

After all, he had done a lot of excessive things to her before.

I'm afraid this hostility towards me will not change in the future, right?

Fortunately, I still think it's a good thing to be with Alice. Fortunately, I didn't say it, otherwise I would be ashamed today...

Merlin rubbed his forehead with lingering fear, recalling the figure of Alice drying clothes in the sun that day, he could still feel the warm feeling, which made him subconsciously indulge in it

That kind of moment, if there's a lovely daughter in the...

It should be the pinnacle of my ideal life, right?

(? 'ω?)

Chapter 20: The Wilderness

Merlin and Alice set off for Ireland the next day.

The preparations for the two were quite adequate. In addition to the food and water that must be used on the road, they also brought Austin's autographed credit to prove their identities.

If he went to Ireland and Baron Barton couldn't recognize that Merlin and Alice were commissioned by Austin, it would be a waste of work.

Merlin and Alice went there in their own donkey cart, and the speed wasn't too slow.

Although Merlin wanted to hire a more comfortable carriage, this prodigal idea was rejected by Alice.

Alice felt that now is the time to spend money, and Merlin must not be allowed to spend money recklessly, and he must be able to live a good life.

However, instead of saying that Alice is good at housekeeping, Merlin complained about her being stingy.
