Before the banquet officially ended.

Elvia half-supported, half-dragged Lin Gui, who was nodding every few steps and was drowsy.

They couldn't wait to leave the palace and head straight for the most upscale hotel nearby.

Her expression was a mixture of excitement, calculation, and an almost predatory eagerness.

It's just like a big bad wolf eyeing a little white rabbit.

Or rather, a pervert about to succeed.

As they left the palace, several maids who were tidying their appearance saw their esteemed Seventh Princess.

They were "supporting" the seemingly weak new prince consort as they hurried away.

"Oh my god... Her Highness the Princess..."

A young maid covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief.

"I didn't expect... Your Highness to be so...proactive?"

"Another maid murmured."

It feels like some of the preconceived notions about princesses being elegant and kind are crumbling.

In the crowd, a maid who was originally bending down to adjust the hem of her maid uniform frowned slightly.

She watched Elvia's retreating figure, which had practically "kidnapped" Lin Gui as she left, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

While the other maids were still gossiping...

She slipped away from the group silently and followed like a shadow.

Elvia walked quickly into the hotel.

They immediately ordered the most luxurious suite and practically dragged Lin Gui into the room.

Upon entering, Elvia displayed astonishing efficiency.

She quickly helped Lin Gui take off his old mage robe and put his staff aside.

She quickly helped him change into the comfortable bathrobe that had been prepared on the side.

Lin Gui was somewhat sobered up by this series of actions.

He looked at the beautiful princess with a puzzled expression, who had suddenly become so "virtuous" and proactive.

"What...are you doing?"

Elvia froze.

I instantly snapped out of that frenzied state and frantically warned myself.

Calm down, Elvia! Be natural! Don't let him suspect anything!

She straightened up, trying to keep her expression calm, and spoke as naturally as possible.

"It's nothing. I was just worried that your clothes would get the bedding dirty and I'd have to pay a lot of money for it."

Lin Gui was completely dumbfounded.

Although he found it strange, his extremely tired mind made him too lazy to investigate further, and he just muttered to himself.

"Alright..."

I tied the robe belt myself.

Just as he was about to lie down, he saw Elvia walk to the window.

With swift and precise movements, the heavy window was locked from the inside.

"What are you doing now?" Lin Gui asked, even more puzzled.

Elvia remained expressionless and answered calmly.

"Just in case, it wouldn't be good if assassins showed up."

"You know, there are plenty of people at the bottom who want to take revenge on those at the top."

Lin Gui retorted speechlessly, "Isn't that something you forced yourselves into?"

He couldn't hold on any longer and buried himself in the soft, fluffy blankets.

I felt like all the bones in my body had relaxed, and I mumbled a final word of advice.

"Go... Don't forget... ask your older sister about Rogge..."

Before he finished speaking, even breathing began to fill the air, and he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Elvia looked at the unsuspecting Lin Gui on the bed and gently curled the corners of her lips.

Don't worry, I won't need to find out soon.

For the sake of my future child, please get rid of that damned poison of mine.

She tiptoed out of the room and gently closed the door behind her.

However, as soon as the door closed, her true colors were immediately revealed.

She disregarded her image and lifted the hem of her luxurious tulle skirt with both hands.

He rushed downstairs to the front desk like a gust of wind.

"Bang!" She braced herself on the smooth tabletop of the front desk, slightly out of breath.

She lowered her voice and got straight to the point, addressing the receptionist who was stunned by her beauty and presence.

"Give me some... aphrodisiacs! The strongest ones!"

The receptionist looked at the woman in front of him, who was so beautiful she seemed unreal.

Yet, the noble lady who asked for this kind of thing.

My mind didn't quite process it, and I stammered out the question.

"You...you want..."

"It's that kind of stuff those rich kids always use! Hurry up!"

Elvia urged impatiently.

"It's that stuff those rich kids always use! An aphrodisiac! You know?"

The receptionist then realized what was happening, and his expression became even stranger.

The laws of the capital explicitly prohibit the coercion of women, but this law is practically meaningless to the high-ranking nobles.

However, it still has some deterrent effect on minor nobles and wealthy young men who need to maintain a semblance of respectability.

Therefore, they prefer to use "soft" methods.

For example, using drugs to lure ignorant or greedy young girls.

The receptionist was no stranger to this kind of shady business, except...

I looked at Elvia's stunning beauty.

Seeing her anxious expression, the receptionist's mind went even more into confusion.

"No, ma'am, what are you trying to do...?"

"Hurry up! I don't have much time!"

Elvia's eyes sharpened.

The princess's imposing presence and the "lion's" ferocity are subtly revealed.

At the same time, he slapped dozens of shiny gold coins onto the table.

"Is that enough?"

Under duress and enticement, the receptionist tremblingly produced a small paper packet.

He then explained how to use it in a low voice.

Elvia listened attentively.

Then they ordered a few more pills that were supposedly good for getting pregnant.

Finally, she checked again, still not entirely convinced.

"Can these things take down a high-level mage? Are you sure they'll work?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, Elvia smiled knowingly.

He carefully packed his things away, then turned and rushed upstairs again.

Once the deed is done, and the child is used as a bond for moral blackmail... Lin Gui, you're mine for life.

I will make good use of your abilities to climb to that supreme throne!

With a wicked grin, she returned to Lin Gui's doorway once more.

She carefully took out the small paper packet containing the powder and a thin, long blowpipe.

They were preparing to blow the "heat powder" in through the crack in the door.

Just as she pursed her lips, aimed at the blowpipe, and prepared for the critical moment to take action.

An angry female voice rang out from behind her:

"You cowardly princess! How dare you plot against Lin Gui?!"

Elvia was shocked and turned her head sharply!

There stood a tall, upright girl dressed in an ordinary maid's uniform.

He was standing with his arms crossed, looking at her coldly.

Elvia looked at the other person's overly ordinary face.

And those exceptionally clear eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked.

"...A half-demon?"

"Hmph!" the girl snorted coldly.

Reaching behind his ear, he pulled, and an exquisite mask was torn off.

She revealed a pretty and charming face, as well as a pair of distinctive pointed ears.

It was Shia.
