I'll see you later. If you do well, I'll reward you later.
"Really? I'll do my best!
And with that, Anna left the room in a good mood.
Aria and Licht would be arriving in a few minutes.
Once they arrived, assassinating Bern would be a difficult task.
Even if they killed him, he would not die.
"Hey, I'm here!
"Ah! Demon Lord! Thank you for coming!
Sooner than expected.
Aria and Licht arrived at Bern's side.
It seems that the decision to get Anna out of the room early was the right one.
There was no way the maids could see the queen kneeling.
I just saw a maid acting suspiciously. Is something wrong? As soon as she saw us, she kept looking down.
"Oh, ......, don't worry about it.
Bern broke out in a cold sweat.
He had told Anna that she was a difficult person, and that seemed to have intimidated her.
The fact that she had tried to follow the lore and had come up short had all been typical Anna behavior.
It's okay. So, are you okay with being an assassin? We don't have time to be here much longer, do we?
...... You don't have time for this.
Licht, shut up!
No, no, no!
I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it, but I'd like to.
As a demon king, if he was found to have too much time on his hands, he might be lambasted by his subordinates.
This pride made her fingers pinch the flesh of Richt's arm.
How did you know there was an assassin in the first place? I think it would be a mistake for an assassin to let his target know.
It's ...... fortune-telling.
...... Hey, hey, hey. I don't want to play games with you. You don't want to play games with me, do you?
No, no, no, trust me! I saw it with my own eyes! I saw it in my own eyes! I saw it in my own eyes!
Bern desperately appealed to Aria, who seemed unwilling to do anything about it.
As a vixen, Bern is able to foresee danger that may befall her.
Normally, this ability is useless because it can only be used to foresee life-threatening events, but when it actually works, the sense of fear is extraordinary.
If Aria and the others were to return here, she would have to spend her life in despair.
This situation - even if she had to hang on, she had to stop them.
Aria. Maybe I'm telling the truth. I can't believe you'd be this desperate for a joke. Maybe you should believe me.
"...... We can't help it if Richt says so. If we're going to do this, we're going to do it right.
Oh, thank you very much!
Bern's gratitude.
As an impostor, it was immensely gratifying to be trusted.
