Chapter 227 : Imprisoned!
Thus, Lonis's first day serving as princess of the Bright Ember Kingdom finally ended.
Although very exhausting, although pretending to be another person really wasn't an easy thing.
But after completing it, Lonis's heart was filled with a sense of achievement... After all, this was the most "valuable" thing she had done since her resurrection!
Being able to help people stabilize their confidence, help humanity avoid warfare—what could make a Hero happier than such things?
"Princess Sethilu, please rest this way."
"Mm, thank you."
Following the maid's footsteps, Lonis prepared to enjoy dinner... Elucia, to avoid suspicion, didn't accompany Lonis, so in the spacious corridor, there were only Lonis and the maid.
This treatment was undoubtedly very prestigious.
After all, as a princess, you could stride forward with your head held high, and no one would obstruct your progress.
However...
Lonis vaguely sensed something was wrong.
(No, this isn't the path to the dining room.)
Even though she hadn't been in the Bright Ember Kingdom for long, Lonis noticed this path didn't lead to the dining room... and in the corridor passage, there wasn't even a single guard.
Just as Lonis was about to cry out in alarm, the maid who had been serving her suddenly rushed forward with quick steps.
Then...
......
Then Lonis knew nothing more.
She only felt her head spinning, and she didn't even have time to react or fight back before being knocked unconscious by the maid.
And when she woke up...
She was already in a pitch-black small room.
This seemed to be a storage room, surrounded by brooms, rags, and other cleaning supplies.
And her hands?
Were suspended from hanging chains, completely unable to move.
Besides that, her mouth was also stuffed with a dirty stocking, a stinky fishy smell permeating her tongue. The previous maid stood opposite, holding a feather duster and glaring at her viciously:
"Hmph, you really aren't Princess Sethilu."
"!"
"Princess Sethilu is indeed critically ill, so they used a fake to disguise... Oh, the disguise is quite good?"
Having said this, the maid used the feather duster to forcefully poke Lonis's chest.
This made the silver-haired girl feel pain—her breasts were already bound in undersized underwear, and this poke made them swell unbearably, almost bursting out.
......
"Hmph, normally a fake like you should die immediately, but I can give you a chance to live."
"Uh?"
The maid stepped forward and pulled the stocking from Lonis's mouth.
Her saliva shamefully flowed from the corner of her mouth, dripping embarrassingly onto her chest.
However, before Lonis could catch her breath, a pill was forcefully stuffed into her mouth... The maid's movements were rough, giving her no time to chew.
"Wuu wuu, wha, what is this?"
"Haha, this is... poison."
"Eh?"
"And for this poison, only I have the antidote... If you're willing to announce at tomorrow's court that you're a fake princess, I'll give you the antidote and let you live."
"!!!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill you right now... Don't try to be clever—if you don't cooperate, you'll die tomorrow without the antidote anyway."
Lonis suddenly understood the maid's identity.
She must be a spy infiltrated by enemies, with the purpose of destroying Lonis's princess disguise... If Lonis were really an ordinary person, she should be scared out of her wits by now.
But she wasn't an ordinary person and wasn't afraid of "death," so Lonis's mind was only thinking about what to do now.
Should she resist to the death?
But even if she wouldn't die, having her head cut off would definitely hurt, right?
But if she agreed, what should she do next?
And just when Lonis was at a loss... the storage room door was actually pushed open!
Then, a black-haired little loli slowly walked in.
She had crimson eyes, wore a gothic dress, and although her figure was petite and cute, her expression was like a little demon, full of unruly arrogance.
"!"
Noticing someone entering, the maid was also stunned. She was about to pull out a dagger from her bosom to stab Lonis to death...
But the little loli's words made her stop: "Lower vampire, you did well. Now, I want to personally interrogate this guy."
"!"
"What's wrong? Don't you even recognize me, Queen Candel?"
Having said this, surging magic power emanated from around the black-haired little loli.
This made the maid's eyes widen in shock, instinctively kneeling on the ground: "La, Lady Candel?! Why have you come to the royal palace... It's very dangerous here, you..."
"Hmph, I should rightfully be the princess of the Bright Ember Kingdom—why shouldn't I come here?"
"But, my lady..."
"I said, stand down!"
"This subordinate dares not! This subordinate obeys!"
The maid seemed startled and ran out crawling.
......
......
In the cluttered storage room, only the silver-haired princess and black-haired little loli remained.
Candel wore an aggressive smile, gradually approaching Lonis, those eyes staring at her large breasts with ill intent, as if wanting to bury her head in them.
Any normal person encountering this situation should be very frightened.
But Lonis wasn't afraid and instead said:
"Elucia, what are you up to!"
"Hah? Who's Elucia? Lonis, I'm the big boss from the demon side, Night Moon Vampire Candel! I'm the blood princess ruling darkness, the extremely evil existence who will make all you humans die."
The little loli spoke arrogantly, and between her brows was indeed the terror of being a great demon lord.
But Lonis was all too familiar with this scene... because when playing Monopoly before, Elucia had the same expression.
"Elucia, stop fooling around—what's really going on? Did you deliberately tie me up to scare and bully me?"
"Hmph, human commoners aren't worth this princess's imprisonment. This princess only drinks the most supreme blood, especially the sweet white blood of white-stockings dairy cows."
Having said this, Elucia smiled wickedly and undid the clothing at Lonis's chest.
The girl's pair of full slimes bounced out just like that.
This left Lonis both ashamed and annoyed, so embarrassed she didn't know what to say: "Elucia, really stop fooling around! Being tied up all day, I'm exhausted!"
"Hmph, what do I care if you're exhausted, stupid maid—call me Master."
Elucia still cared for Lonis. Seeing her plead like this, she didn't continue.
"Ma, Master..."
"That's more like it. Anyway, you're safe now. I deliberately let you get caught just now—the purpose was to draw out the hidden lurking demons in the royal palace."
Flicking Lonis's chest with her finger, Elucia said quite happily.
