"Frankly, Pi Cheng is like this, what's your name?" Floria crossed her legs, raised her ring-wearing finger, and poked the bound fool in the void.

"I'm not lying, my real name is Candia... just, I'm not a member of the Demon Lord's Return Sect." Candia's face was only a few colors less than the palette, and he was in a ball of despondency.

He seems to be just an ordinary sophomore boy - a ghost!

"Heh, you have the guts to touch my room, but don't you have the guts to do it? Tell me, how do you know me, and you don't do your homework when you come to blackmail?" This guy probably didn't watch the part of the carriage going to the palace, otherwise Certainly dare not run to deliver food.

Candia lowered her head and muttered for some reason, but it wasn't a confession anyway.

"Miss, this boy looks like he's suffering from heat stroke, why don't we..." Barbatos put his fingers together in the shape of a knife, and gesticulated on the boy's neck.

[Your Highness, it is more convenient to torture the soul. 】

[No, talking to humans is quite interesting. 】

"Don't be so cruel, please let me go, it's really my first time!" The boy struggled to get his hand out from the rope, and fell to the ground with a grunt, including the chair.

"Don't worry, I'm just an ordinary nobleman, I need face~ As long as you tell me the truth obediently, I'll let you out as soon as you're in a good mood."

Even the devil can’t do this, the young man in front of him is much worse, his eyes flashed instantly: “I, my master died of illness a few months ago, so I had no choice but to become a mercenary, but I couldn’t figure out the way, no one would hire me.” I."

"Then?"

"Then I wanted to be an assassin. Anyway, I would take on missions, not much difference. I am so good at illusion and acrobatics, I will definitely become the strongest assassin!"

A strong-mouthed assassin is almost the same!Floria looked at the smug young man who forgot about the situation in front of her speechlessly, and flicked her fingertips: "Really, then why did you become a fraudster again?"

"I did find a way into the Assassin Brotherhood...but their assessment is so strict, and they questioned my mind!"

"So you come to pretend to be a ghost and assassinate me, and want them to agree with you?" Didn't expect the assassins to value me so much, is it really the credit of Barbatos?

"No, I heard them say that there are a lot of idiot nobles who have come to join the royal family recently. They also mentioned that a nobleman named Floria is going to be identified as a witch, and she must be crying for her treasure to buy her life." The boy's eyes Clear enough to see the word fool at the bottom.

【Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not the same organization. 】

[I know that he should be defecting to a thief. 】

"I understand, you want to make money and not kill yourself. I declare that you owe me 5000 gold coins!" Floria clapped her hands, making her decision happily!

"You didn't have 5000 gold coins for killing me?!" Candia's voice broke.

"You are not allowed to bully my brother!"

A wave of air suddenly rose in the shadows outside the window, and after the crisp clashing sound, a thin girl was pinned down on the carpet by Barbatos with one hand.

"Let go of Emma!" Candia twisted and bounced off the ground, tripped on the rope and fell beside Emma, ​​and was held down by Barbatos with the other hand.

The current shape has the charm of a black cat playing with two flying insects.

"This girl is a dark elf, and you say she's not an assassin?" Barbatos's smile didn't have any warmth.The suppressed girl's skin was covered with special ash, and her black eyes were full of unwilling tears.

"So what about the dark elves?! I won't let my sister do this job with me! Emma, ​​why don't you squat at home?! Brother said he would bring food back, right?!" Candia struggled desperately , asked my sister angrily.

"My brother won't come so late, everyone is very worried! Besides, there is nothing to eat at home!" Emma stared back unwillingly.

"I'm also for...the Assassin Organization also charges membership fees..."

"Okay, okay!" Floria clapped her hands, indicating that the plot of the two brothers and sisters complaining to each other was postponed.

"Please let Emma go! I don't care what I do, Emma is innocent!" Candia's self-consciousness as a brother is much stronger than the sense of responsibility to follow the rules. He lowered his head and used the back of his hand behind his back The prostrate posture expresses the sincerity of surrender.

"Miss, such a small dark elf can easily be sold for a high price on the black market." Barbatos's bluntness made Candia's expression twist instantly. He knew this was the truth, and he absolutely didn't want to see what happened.

Floria didn't pick up the conversation, she still looked at Candia: "Do you think your efforts are not ridiculous? If your sister is sold because you attack innocent people without authorization... what can you do?"

"...I can't afford 5000 gold coins, but I have something more valuable than the dark elves." Candia's head was still on the ground, and he said every word: "The house left by the master is very close to the commercial area of ​​Wangdu. If you spare my sister, I can transfer it to you."

As arrogant as he is, he also understands: now that their brothers and sisters are prisoners of the ranks, knowing that they still have benefits that can be extracted, most of them will be sold into slaves after the extraction is completed.

Even if he understands this, there is only a one-in-a-thousand chance, he has to give it a try!

"Deal, your sister is free. You are the only one who owes the money. Take us to see the house first." The proud noble girl shook her fan lightly and met his responsible eyes.

[Your Highness? 】

[Don't ask, it's a good idea to ask. 】

With the evening wind blowing, a group of four stood in front of a dilapidated house that could see its former glory.This house is indeed adjacent to the commercial area, and the price is definitely not low.

"It's here, are you satisfied?" Candia rubbed her wrist that was sorely tied by the rope, and pushed her sister with her shoulders, telling her to run in quickly, so as not to be exposed in front of others.

"Brother, if you don't have a house, what will you do in winter?" Emma took out the key to open the door, and couldn't help asking.

"People are more important than houses, idiot!" The real idiot looked serious.

"She's right. It's hard for you to live without a house in winter, right? And there's more than one child." Floria pointed to the little heads popping out of it.

"Then will you let us go? Except for me, everyone can't work now." Candia covered her face and wiped away the semi-coagulated nosebleed.

"Hmph... The guy who owes money has no place to talk to me about this! But~ we can still make a deal..." The contract of the devil king can be established only by verbal agreement.

"What deal?"

After walking into the house, Floria slowly asked a strange question: "How many things are you proficient in digging, acting, escaping, cleaning, cooking, and receiving guests?"

Candia stared for a while, then opened his mouth: "You want me to lure others to stay in the hotel, kill them and bury them, and run away when the security knight finds them?"

"Is there anyone who talks like this in front of younger siblings! And—all of them guessed wrong!" Floria unceremoniously stretched out her fan, and tapped him three times on the back and back.

"I am proficient in everything you said! There is no one who can't dig the ground."

"I, I will too!"

"Don't make trouble, Emma!" Candia quickly hugged her sister and looked at Floria nervously.

"Smart people don't say dark words, I want to hire you to run this tavern." Floria's fingers swiped from Emma to Candia, including the circle of children behind.

"Hotel? Are you going to use this place as a hotel?" Candia patted the wall in disbelief: "I had a similar idea before, but this place is too broken!" After he slapped, the wall seemed to be rattling Rusty answer.

"I'll pay for the decoration, you just need to run the business and dig the cellar." Floria didn't want the few free laborers in front of her to escape, so she continued to increase her weight on the scale: "You also don't want to do dangerous things to worry your younger siblings. Right? After being hired by me, you don’t need to get involved with the assassins. If you’re afraid they’ll trouble you, just give me their address and I’ll settle it. You can still live here before and after the hotel’s official opening, Bao San meal."

It sounds like there is no better employer than the person in front of you.If these words are true, it would be a fool to refuse!

"The store manager, you have the final say." Candia cheered, "Today's meal bag?"

After the voice fell, the pile of small radishes on the side were all turned to face forward.

"Bag……"

Back in the hotel room, Floria slumped under the duvet.

"Your Highness, I understand that you want to expand your business scope, but human beings are very untrustworthy." Barbatos skillfully untied the tie and helped put on the silk pajamas.

Floria lay on the pillow, her white feet curved cutely: "You are too old-fashioned, without the help of human beings, how can you control the whole world? All rely on the staff provided by the company?"

"Why not? Your lifespan is very long, as long as you keep accumulating points." Barbatos was only half-spoken, because Floria's arm was on her shoulder.

"My loyal Lord Barbatos, don't doubt your own vision."

It was obviously an action that could be easily countered, but Barbatos suddenly didn't feel that way. She lowered her head and said lightly, "Yes, Your Highness."

Before the first ray of sunlight shone in the morning, Floria had to change her clothes under the crystal light, and the staff of the Noble Tribunal were waiting outside the door.

After dressing, Floria took the fan and sat on the chair, and Barbatos opened the door.

The leading investigator smiled brightly: "Miss Floria, please come with us, as long as you can prove that you are not a witch and have nothing to do with the return of the devil, nothing dangerous will happen to you body."

His expression itself was a hint, and Floria felt a little relieved.

Barbatos was stopped by the security knights, and as a [idle person, etc.], she had to wait for the trial before she could meet the accused.

[Barbatos, I'm a little interested in the trial of humans, you just need to pay attention to the transmission of Francis' message without any obstacles. 】

[Understood, Your Highness. 】

The Noble Tribunal is worthy of adding the word noble, and the carriage used to escort the accused is much better than the one in Floria's house.Both the touch of the cushion and the bumpiness of the wheels are completely superior to the former.

Unexpectedly, Henry's younger brother's energy is not small. The first judgment day happens to be today. I don't know if Francis' people have notified him...

The speed of the carriage is very fast, and the trial against the nobles is always in the early morning. It is said that this is the sharpest moment when the sword of the Goddess of Justice has just been washed by the morning dew.

However, the outsider Floria always felt that it was because the nobles could not be executed on the spot during the trial, and it was not suitable to stay at noon or evening for dinner.

As the door opened, Floria was helped out of the carriage, and the building in front of her looked more like... a Roman Colosseum than a trial court?
