The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Yvette picked it up casually and took a sip.

She squinted her eyes and seemed to like the taste.

Lisha also tried to drink it.

The taste is surprisingly good, sweet and delicious. Although it does not contain any alcohol, it has a light aroma of wine.

"I actually went to see my father once. After I became a gold-level professional, I told him that I had no intention of competing for the throne. Guess what he said?"

Yvette paused for a moment, waiting for Lisha's follow-up question.

Chapter 538: "Assassination"

"What did you say?"

Lisha knew at a glance that Yvette was waiting for her to ask, so she pretended to be curious and asked.

"He said that since I was born into the royal family, I would inevitably be drawn into this huge vortex. He also said that the stronger I am, the greater the probability of inheriting the throne."

Yvette let out a faint sigh.

“I really don’t want to be like my father.”

Lisha didn't know how to comfort Yvette.

Patra IX, Yvette's father Fred, had seventeen brothers and sisters.

When Fred ascended the throne and became emperor, only two of his seventeen brothers and sisters were left, and neither of them had the talent to become a professional.

One of them was Fred's youngest brother. He was only five years old when Fred succeeded to the throne. He was named earl of the court by Fred. He passed away ten years ago at the age of old age.

The other was an elder sister who had a good relationship with Fred. Because her biological mother was just a maid and was not well-received, she was very kind to Fred, who was also not well-received. After Fred succeeded to the throne, she married a duke and became a duchess. She died more than 20 years ago, also at the age of 18.

It was because Yvette knew all this that she was very resistant to the throne, and she did not think she was capable of inheriting that position.

Whether it was her eldest brother who was loved by the people, her second sister who was supported by most of the nobles, her third brother who commanded a legion, or her fourth sister who was respected by scholars, they were all much stronger than her. Even her fifth brother, who had always been in poor health, was a famous alchemist.

The other brothers and sisters also have their own strengths, but she has no special advantages except that she is very strong and loves adventure.

"But I seem to be moving step by step in the direction he expects."

"..."

Lisha was drinking her drink in silence.

She was about to say something but was stopped by Yuze.

"...Ha~ I think I've said too much. But I feel much better now that I can talk to someone."

Yvette smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You are probably the only one who will listen to me seriously. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would not dare to continue listening."

"Do you want me to talk to Fred? About you not wanting to be the heir?"

Lisha thought she might be able to help Yvette.

“Lisha, there are some things that only I can say.”

Yvette didn’t think that Lisha could talk to her father about these things at all. She just thought that Lisha was comforting him, so she shook her head vigorously.

"There's obviously no alcohol, why do I feel like you're drunk?"

Lisha complained while looking at Yvette who was blushing.

"No."

Yvette slapped her cheek.

"It's just a little hot."

Lisha said that she would listen seriously.

Would the Golden Stage care about such a small amount of popularity?

And you're drinking a cold drink, okay?

After slowly finishing a whole glass of special drink, Yvette gave the bartender another special gold coin.

"let's go."

She stood up and walked towards the door.

Lisha also stood up and followed.

Although I was unable to continue my tour of the rest of the capital due to my encounter with Yvette, it was still nice to be able to drink such a delicious drink.

Walking out of the bar, the two walked through the dark alley.

"Whoosh!"

An arrow with a dark green arrowhead shot towards Yvette.

It was obvious that the arrow was coated with poison.

Yvette didn't even look at it, then knocked away the arrow shot at her.

If it was an arrow shot by a gold-level ranger, Yvette might have to deal with it seriously.

But the arrow in front of her was obviously shot by an ordinary person. If Yvette looked at it any longer, she would be considered a loser.

The moment the arrow was shot away, a thin figure jumped out from the corner.

The other party stabbed Yvette with a dark blue dagger that was also coated with poison.

"boom!"

Yvette didn't even have to use much strength to send the attacker flying several meters away.

Yvette's expression became obviously confused.

From the feel of the contact, Yvette could clearly feel that the other person was just an ordinary person, even a child.

An ordinary person assassinates a gold-level professional?

The success rate is not zero, but it is extremely close to zero.

Even if a gold-rank professional stands and lets ordinary people hack him, ordinary people will not be able to break through the physical defense of a gold-rank professional unless they have any powerful weapons.

This is true even for gold-level mages.

And which force would send an ordinary person to assassinate a gold-level professional?

This is not how you seek death.

"She seems unconscious."

Lisha leaned over to take a look and found that the person who was knocked away was a girl, but she was too thin and too young, so if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell at all.

"Lisha, please take her with you and let's go back."

Yvette knew that things were getting troublesome.

"Oh~"

Lisha picked up the thin girl.

The two quickly returned to Yvette's mansion.

But they didn't go through the main door, but the side door.

After seeing her master coming back, the female guard was obviously relieved.

"Master, please tell me at least."

This was not the first or second time that Yvette had sneaked out to play, but she was usually the one following her.

This time she ran so fast that she and the other guards couldn't react.

If the guards hadn't confirmed that Yvette was safe through the treasure, she would have gone to look for her in person.

Even though she knew Yvette didn't like this, she still had to come for her master's safety.

"I haven't left the imperial capital yet, what do I have to worry about?"

Yvette replied casually.

But when his eyes fell on the assassin in Lisha's hand, he felt a little embarrassed.

Well, the imperial capital is not necessarily safe.

"Go and take this guy to wash up, and then send him to the room next to my room."

Yvette pointed at the thin girl that Lisha was holding.

"Yes!"

The female guard took the thin girl from Lisha and left.

Neither Yvette nor Lisha were worried that the other would wake up halfway, because on the way back, Yvette gave the girl a bottle of powerful sleeping potion.

This potion was originally used to treat insomnia, and it could also neutralize the energetic effect of drinking too much energy potion. For an ordinary person like the thin girl who was not a professional, drinking one bottle was enough for her to sleep for more than six hours.

So there is no need to worry about her waking up in the middle of the night.

Girls nowadays sleep like dead pigs and will not wake up even if they are splashed with water or slapped.

"We'll interrogate her later. Now, let's enjoy dinner first~"

Yvette's words filled Lisha with anticipation.

Lisha's mind was now filled with thoughts about what delicious food would be placed on the table for dinner soon.

Chapter 539: Those Who Died Together

Nasha felt a long-lost warmth.

She opened her eyes dazedly, only to find that she seemed to be being carried forward.

I failed....

Nasha felt calm.

Because she didn't think she could succeed.

The so-called assassination was doomed to failure from the very beginning.

Even a fool knows how ridiculous it is for an ordinary person to assassinate a gold-level professional.

The female guard holding Nasha lowered her head and saw Nasha who had woken up.

There was a scrutiny in her eyes.

"Be more polite when you see Her Royal Highness the Princess later."

"..."

Nasha didn't say anything, but just turned her head silently.

After passing through the long corridor, the guard carried Nasha to the side hall.

This is the place used to entertain guests.

As she entered the side hall, Nasha smelled the aroma of food.

And the sound of a princess who seemed to be beginning to doubt her life.

"Aren't you full yet?"

"About seven-tenths full?"

Lisha said incoherently while stuffing something into her mouth.

"Master, the people are here."

The female guard said while holding Nasha.

"Put it over there."

Yvette signaled with her eyes, and the female guard placed Nasha on a chair opposite the long table.

"You go down first. Also, tell the kitchen staff not to serve the dishes for now. I'll call them if I need anything."

"Yes!"
