Chapter 39: Ch-39: The Devil King Who Captures The Princess

"The Sage Princess... Alice Louise Ove Nafal?"

In an extremely luxurious villa estate in Rome, Roy was sitting on a velvet knole sofa in a antique, baroque-style luxurious room. 

He was holding a stack of papers in his right hand, taps his fingers lightly against the armrest of the sofa, and his face showed a look of interest.

The red soft carpet covered the entire flooring, the precious frescos and armor decorations of the Renaissance period embellished the room.

The chandelier above his head seems to be arrangements of stars in the starry sky, fully demonstrating what luxury and aristocracy are.

The most famous ancient palaces in Italy are almost all owned by the Holy See, but that kind of place is more suitable for his office, not suitable for living. Modern villas are more comfortable and 'homey' to him. 

Roy will not treat himself badly, except when he needs to go to the Vatican Library to study quietly, he spends most of his time in this villa consisting all modern facilities. 

While Princess Alice in Greenwich, England was studying Roy, Roy was also studying the Princess.

"King, these are the information provided by my uncle Paolo Brandelli. As for Princess Alice's more detailed information, I'm afraid it can only found in the documentation room of the Council of Sages in Royal Greenwich Observatory."

In front of the mahogany desk, the 14 year old Erica, wearing her signature red battle dress, raised her head slightly and said confidently.

"I have heard that your uncle used to travel back and forth between England and Italy frequently in the past?"

"He, as the knight of the Princess Alice jointly opposed Black Prince Alec. There are many gossips that even a scene happened where, your uncle as the handsome knight saved the beautiful princess?"

Roy threw the stack of papers aside, he leaned back in the sofa and laughed playfully.

Although the King seemed to be joking, Erica didn't show a smile. She shook her head and said in a brisk tone:

"...That were the adventures of my uncle when he was young. He was not Princess Alice's knight, but only allied with the Princess, now he is your subordinates."

"If the king commands for it, Copper Black Cross will definitely obey your instructions, even if it is against Princess Alice."

Erica calmly expressed her heartfelt loyalty.

"Your uncle didn't have a knight and princess love story with this Sage Princess?"

Feeling Roy's gossip nature, Erica was also a little helpless, she still smiled wryly and replied: 

"...My uncle is more than fifteen years older than Princess Alice. Those run-ins with Black Prince Alec happened more than ten years ago."

"At that time, the princess was only about ten years old, while my uncle was almost twenty seven years old. I don't think anything can happen between people with so huge age gaps."

"No, Erica, you are absolutely wrong. There are always some pervert type uncle figures in this world. They like little girls in their tens, cosing then with lollipops... well, cough, let's talk about something else."

Erica was fully dumbfounded by now. She wanted to say that her uncle was really not that kind of pervert.... he shouldn't be, right? 

Though, she had heard that Princess Alice was very cute in her childhood... and her uncle who is now in his fourty has still not married... but it can't be, right? 

But, when she saw that the 'King' had already skipped the topic, she also cheered herself up and waited for Roy's new question.

"This princess has the highest spiritual power in all of Europe. She belongs to the Council of Sages, which isn't subservient to any Campione. So, let's start with her."

Roy took out Princess Alice's profile from the stack of papers, and tick marked on her profile. 

Erica suddenly thought of the quaint bronze ring she saw in Roy's hands on the luxury yacht before, which is most probably a artifact related to King Solomon.

Now that Roy is looking for Hime-Miko with powerful spiritual powers, she suddenly remembered what happened two years ago. 

Two years ago, the Marquis Voban arrested many Hime-Miko all around the globe in order to facilitate the summons of a Heretic God for him to fight and slay. 

Most of the Hime-Miko did not survive after the summoning with their sanity intact. That incident also caused the number of Hime-Mikos in the world to lessen by a tenth.

She knew that Roy probably wanted to reproduce the incident initiated by Marquis Voban, and his first goal was Princess Alice, who has a huge reputation throughout the whole world!

Erica did not dare to say anything about Roy's decision. During the period of her contact with Roy, she had learned a little bit about Roy's character.

'King' allows others to speak up, but there must be a some reason behind it, otherwise, be prepared to face the wrath of the 'King'.

And Erica now has no reason to persuade him to give up. Is it possible to tell the 'king' that summoning Heretic Gods will cause many sacrifices? No, the king in front of her doesn't care about this, it will only make him angry. Moreover, she doesn't care.

Therefore, Erica had no thoughts of persuasion, but as a personal knight, she reminded: 

"...King, Princess Alice and the Campione of England, Alexander Gascoigne, are obviously hostile to each other. But their relationship is not very clear, some say that they are in a romantic relationship."

"Will the capture of Princess Alice arouse the hostility of the Prince of Black Lightning? Should we take gentle means to let Princess Alice take the initiative to cooperate with us?"

"Don't worry, Erica! Alexander Gascoigne is too cautious. He always chooses to wait and understand the danger when he encounters something he doesn't understand."

"People with such a personality can easily miss the opportunity. He will surely not appear in front of me until he is sure that I pose no danger to him, and even if he does appear, what's there to fear."

Roy smiled indifferently: 

"...Erica, do you know what the role of the princess in the fairy tales is? That is to live in a magnificent castle and wait for the evil dragon to capture her."

"Although I am not the evil dragon, but I am also the 'Devil King on Earth'. I can substitute the dragon's role, and fit just right in the story."

"My princess should have been waiting in the lonely castle for a long time. The 'Devil King' can't keep the princess waiting for too long."

Hearing Roy's cold joke, Erica could only feel speechlessness. 

"And this maiden named Yuri Mariya in the Far East. Two years ago, she was one of the survivors of the Heretic God summoning incident by the Marquis Voban, right?"

"Absolutely."

"Since this is the case, we have to believed in the judgement of Marquis for once. So we will also take her as one of the maidens of the ceremony."

Erica nodded slightly, indicating that she understood Roy's order.

As far as Erica is concerned, she doesn't care about how Princess Alice and this maiden named Yuri Mariya will be treated, as long as she can fulfill her duties for the 'King', everything else is not in the scope of Erica's consideration.

"However, these high quality Hime-Miko are not enough. I need more Hime-Miko and Witches to perform the ceremony together, so that it is possible to successfully summon King Solomon..."

Roy played with the bronze ring in his hand that symbolized the wisdom bestowed upon King Solomon by the God, and said unhurriedly.

As Roy's exclusive knight, Erica naturally wants to solve problems for her master. She frowned and thought about it, and said with a little hesitation: 

"... There is some Hime-Miko with high spiritual power in the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains of the ancient eastern country, they are called Taoists Priestess there."

"However the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains is controlled by Martial Leader, trying to take them will cause you to conflict with the Martial Leader."

"...I am not saying that we have to be afraid of confronting with the Martial Leader of the East, but at this stage, for king's big plan, we have to proceed cautiously."

Erica said cautiously, trying to control her rhetoric so as not to touch Roy's pride.

"Erica, I can understand what you are trying to express, your suggestion is not wrong."

"It is indeed not the time to conflict with the Martial Leader, I know some details about her and why she is named with the title of 'Advocate of Ultimate Brute Force' and 'China's Freakishly Strong Girl'."

"I am sure I have already pushed myself on the opposite side of Black Prince and Marquis Voban with the idea to capture Princess Alice and Yuri Mariya. If Martial Leader also joins the fray, the ceremony may not be able to happen."

"...But now I don't need more Hime-Miko with 'quality' like Princess Alice, as long as I have more in quantity..." 

"By the way, I remember at the headquarters of the Female Wolf I saw that silver headed Knight. The girl named Liliana is also an excellent witch, right?"

While Roy was thinking about the coming ceremony, Erica, who has been calmly listening to king's plans before, her expression finally changed this time, she was astonished.

"King, do you also need Liliana?"

She asked nervously.
