I'm a fox girl, I took over the job of the Night Demon Queen

89. The Loser's Warming-Up Story (I)

Three days had passed since that night of heavy rain.

At the Earl's Mansion, the maid knocked gently on the door.

"Miss, would you like something to eat?" Since they were lovers, they should be lovers. Although they were of different races and were women with three daughters, only such a relationship could make the fourth daughter of the Earl's family, who had always been full of energy, depressed to such an extent - locking herself in the room, she had not eaten for three days.

"No, don't bother me unless it's something urgent."

The fact that you haven't eaten for three days is already a very serious matter. The maid looked worried and wanted to knock on the door again, but suddenly she remembered the novels she had read in the past to kill time. The wise man said, "There are 80,000 words in the world, but only the word love is the most lethal." That's probably true.

Alas~ The maid stopped knocking on the door and left with a sigh.

In the room, Meili turned over. Her usually smooth blonde hair was scattered on the bed, no longer shiny as before. A closer look revealed some white strands of hair. The overly dazzling sunlight from the window shone into her eyes. She raised her elbows to cover her red, swollen eyes, and whimpered in pain, holding the photo she took with Jiang Lan on the day of their date.

I thought it was the beginning, but I didn't know it was the end.

On the night of the incident, Jiang Lan and the three little ones stayed in their new home for a few hours. During that time, they robbed a duck meat shop but only took away some duck blood. They also smashed a drugstore in the middle of the night and stole a large number of fever medicines and jujube pills for treating colds. Then, at dawn in the early morning, they went to Dongshikou, bought a carriage and left Hongyeling.

When he left, he only took one box of manuscripts with him, and left everything else behind.

As long as the fox has its three little ones, he can go anywhere without any other worries. He is really free and easy.

But there are always people who can't let go. Even if her father came to persuade her in person, it was of no use. After lying in bed for three days, Mary's soul still did not return to her body.

Tap, tap, tap! There was a knock on the door again.

He angrily hit the door with a pillow, but his weak body couldn't support it and he just threw it off the bed, which was still a long distance away from the door.

Just like her and Jiang Lan, they thought they had touched each other, but in fact, there was still such a long distance between them.

Meili pounded the bed heavily. Now, no matter what she encountered, the first person she would think of would be Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan!

She's finished.

I was originally cheered up because of love, and now I am sinking again because of love, which can be regarded as paying it back.

I can't think of any way to cheer myself up.

She no longer had anyone to love, anyone to cheer her up, or a new relationship. She couldn't imagine such a situation at all.

It would have been better for her to be raped and lose her virginity to the bandits that day, and then find a place to commit suicide.

The knocking on the door continues.

"Didn't I tell you that I don't want to eat? Stop bothering me and get out of here!"

"Miss, it's something else." Unexpectedly, it was not the maid's voice that rang out, but the housekeeper's philosophical words. "Miss Stella is here to visit."

"Stella? You come at this time? I'll die if I see her." Merry-chan has completely given up her dignity as a noble and is spewing all kinds of bad words.

"I thought maybe Miss Stella would have some news about Miss Jiang Lan, but since you..."

Dong, the sound of the soul returning to the body and two feet landing on the ground.

"Now, immediately, right away, the maid will come in to change my clothes and put on makeup for me."

Even though it was clear that she had no chance with Jiang Lan, she still didn't want to be laughed at for her poor appearance when meeting her former love rival.

But if you are afraid of making a fool of yourself, wouldn’t it be better not to see him?

Looking at her miserable self in the mirror, Mary made a helpless and mocking expression.

How pathetic of myself.

"Don't bother. I can already guess how miserable you are now. Just save those things. No matter how fancy a little girl like you dress up, you won't arouse my interest." Without caring about etiquette, Stella pushed the butler away and kicked the door open. Then she saw the miserable Mary and sighed.

"Although I have imagined it, I overestimated you. You are so ugly."

"If you came here just to mock me, get out of here now!"

Stella raised her eyebrows. Oh my, this little girl is really impulsive. I had already taught her a lesson last time.

But now she has lost all hope and no longer cares about her so-called noble status. She should not be afraid.

And this time she wasn't thinking about doing those things.

"No, even though we're a love rival, I still like you a lot. You can always do things that I can't do. I'm really amazed by your courage and love to give up everything for Jiang Lan, so..."

He raised the bottle in his hand.

"32-year-old Tequila National Cellar, tell us your story."

The liquor in Stella's hand was worth thousands of dollars, with a concentration of 40 degrees, which was indeed a drunken drink for women.

It's perfect for drowning your sorrows in alcohol.

"Tsk, be careful not to get drunk if you drink such strong liquor." After being seen, he didn't even think about covering it up, and Mary started to mock him instead.

"Each each other."

In response, Mary snorted coldly and gave orders to Lawrence.

"Bring some food and wine, quickly." She drank on an empty stomach, she didn't want to have a perforated stomach and be laughed at by Stella.

"Yes!"

Looking at Stella with gratitude, Lawrence immediately ordered the maids to heat up the various foods that had been prepared and bring them into the room.

"Please enjoy your meal, Miss, Miss Stella."

With that, Lawrence gracefully walked out the door, leaving only the two of them in the room.

"Because the Sage contacted me on the first day I left Red Leaf Ridge, it took me time to deal with the matters over there, so I am late." Stella used brute force to pry open the bottle and poured wine for Meli, while explaining why she did not come right away.

"I think so too. If it wasn't for Sister Lan, after something like that happened, she would have rushed here the next day if she had contacted you normally. She really does trust you." I can only trust you.

Because she has already left.

"Then where did it go?"

Meili asked after taking a bite of the food. She really couldn't resist the smell of food after not having eaten for three days.

"They can no longer stay in Kalanlo, so we will send someone to send them to the Kaler Empire for the time being."

The Karel Empire, remember it's in the north of the kingdom...

Poof! Mary was so excited that she spat out the food in her mouth.

"That's a long way, and it will pass through many kingdoms. Isn't it dangerous? What do you think? Even if Sister Lan is very strong, she can't do this! What if something goes wrong? The death of the Duke is enough for the top leaders to send the Saints to kill Sister Lan."

"Ah, indeed. I just want to send her there. There is a branch of Bauhinia there so I can take better care of her."

What? Such a leisurely tone.

Slamming the table, Merry reached over and grabbed Stella's collar.

"What on earth do you want to do? It's such a dangerous route, why are you still sitting here? Go back and supervise the development of the situation, you bastard. And Sister Lan, that idiot, really agreed to your childish escape route. Really, what are you two thinking?"

"Well, well, don't be so excited, relax~ Or maybe you didn't realize that something is wrong?" After taking a sip of the wine, Stara was still as calm and composed as ever.

"What's wrong?"

"You." Stella's eyes were full of mischief. "How come you have such a close relationship with Jiang Lan and have not had any problems until now? You haven't thought about it at all."

Did she only think about Jiang Lan and forget about herself? Seeing Melistara like this, she felt more and more pleasing to the eye. If it were her, she would definitely not be like this. She just loved Jiang Lan, but she could never love her to this extent.

"The Duke is dead anyway. Even if you have no involvement here, you will be implicated if you are too close to the Sage. You may be exiled to a monastery and imprisoned for life, or even die. How can you sit here and drink with me to relieve your sorrow?"

After being reminded like this, Mary finally became much more sober, which was really unusual.

"The incident has been suppressed. No one, whether it is the Sage or anyone related to her, is allowed to pursue the matter." Stella said in a low voice. This is top secret. Even she had to spend a lot of money to find out from the Minister of Military Affairs.

"What?" Mary's eyes widened. The Duke's death was weighed down on her mind. What on earth had happened to cause such a thing to happen?

"When I first heard the news, I was like you. I thought there was something wrong with the intelligence."

Even now when this matter was mentioned, there was still a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"The matter of the wise man was suppressed by that brave man."

#Now, it’s the showdown between the love rivals (two losers)! #

ps: emmmm, the word count was estimated wrongly. What I want to say will take at least 5,000 to 6,000 words, but I said that I want to finish it in one chapter, so I have to add a serial number~.

As long as I don't change the chapter title, this chapter will not end! (It's unreasonable but I'm strong)

90. The Loser's Warming-Up Stories (Part 2)

"Brave man." Merry murmured, pondering the deep meaning behind Stella's words.

"You should have heard of it. Four hundred miles east of Red Leaf Ridge is the burial ground of the only survivor of the decisive battle of 'Kongmen', the Sage of Dawn."

In order to prevent the occurrence of vicious incidents where family members are coerced into turning against one's own side, the identities of the heroes nominated by various forces on the mainland are kept highly confidential. With Meili's identity, all she knows is his title, but she still knows his deeds clearly.

“That Originium craftsman, the forger of the holy sword? But in the second year of the war, he died due to a serious injury that was difficult to recover from…” After a moment of shock, Meli suddenly realized something.

"That's just what was said to the public. In fact, this hero changed his identity and became active in the public eye again. You've heard of this person, Isaiah Agnes."

It's more than just something I've heard of, it's something I've heard of like thunder.

"The Minister of the Kingdom's Ministry of Law and Politics?"

"Yes, he is the person closest to the center of power in the kingdom right now."

"So he's a hero? No wonder he was able to sit in that position in just a few years." In three years, he went from a viscount to a duke, and took charge of the judicial department. This is a legendary story that even novels dare not write about. So this is the reason. Merry raised an objection with emotion, "But this is not enough. The war is over. The identity of a hero has no practical significance. Even the Minister of Justice cannot have such great power."

The mess Jiang Lan has made this time is really too big. The murder of the Duke is an incident that concerns the prestige of the country. Not arresting the perpetrator in the country will make the country lose face. This is something that absolutely cannot happen and it is definitely not something that the Minister of Law and Administration can suppress.

"Generally speaking, that's true, but the Sage of the Dawn, now known as Isaiah Agnes, is a little special. Compared to her talents in Originium and forging that are known to the world, she is a person with innate abilities."

In this world, only a very small number of people have innate special abilities, which are one in a billion. These special talents are usually mysterious and of no help in combat, but they can often produce unexpected effects in areas other than combat. For example, the saints of the Temple of Light throughout the ages have the ability to listen to oracles, which has become the cornerstone for the church to establish its authority.

"And what the Dawn Sage possesses is the ability to foresee the future. She can foresee major events that may change the course of history."

"Huh?" Mary was stunned and took a sip of wine to calm herself down. Foreseeing the future, and even specifically predicting important historical events, was too much of a bug.

"If you carefully study the records of the human-demon war, you will easily find some inconsistencies. Often, a large army would suddenly turn around to rush to another battlefield thousands of meters away during a rapid march, or launch an ambush without knowing the movements of the demon army. The most famous one is the Heavy Shield Mountain Raid."

"I know this one." Meili continued the conversation, recalling what she had read in the book. "It was originally a sneak attack by the demons, but in the end they were surrounded and killed by the allied forces who had ambushed them in advance in the Heavy Shield Mountains. The casualty ratio reached an astonishing 1:34, which was the biggest victory in decades of war and was very morale-boosting. Afterwards, according to the confession of the demon generals who were captured at the time, they had only planned this action half a month ago, but in fact the allied forces had already started to mobilize troops before that."

"Foreseeing the enemy's actions before they were planned is now a well-known story. General Rowan Thomas, who commanded the operation, was also dubbed the God of War because of this battle. And since you are mentioning this..." Mary swallowed her saliva with a moved expression on her face. Perhaps she would hear some subversive secrets.

"Yes, it was the work of the Sage of Dawn, but all the credit was transferred to those generals." Because the credit was transferred so much and so many times, the fact that she possessed that supernatural power was exposed and became a widely known "secret" in the upper class.
