I'm a villain, not a devil

After a moment, Sean chuckled.

"Your Highness, why don't I understand what you are talking about?"

Bai Ye's expression remained unchanged. She looked at Sean and seemed very sure.

"Those little tricks can be put to rest, Mr. Sean. I know your intention and understand your thoughts."

She moved closer, her eyes burning.

"In the final analysis, you still don't want me to know the true value of that thing. You want to pay a smaller price... or even, you don't want to pay any price."

She raised her head and said: "It is not a good way to play with other people's hearts. Mr. Sean, if you make a deal with me readily at the beginning, you will gain my friendship - of course, I will not hold a grudge against you, every day. Everyone is selfish, including me.”

"So, let's change the deal - you give me what I want, and the things I promised before will be cut in half. When I return to the imperial capital, I will get you what you want. I won't explore it. Whatever the thing means to you, you don’t need to explore what that piece of crystal means to me. Just like, I know that thing is important to you, and you also know that that piece of crystal is important to me.”

"Fair enough, isn't it?"

Bai Ye finished everything calmly and quickly, and then looked at Sean quietly.

Sean blinked and asked curiously: "Your Highness, why can't I understand what you want to say?"

Bai Ye shook his head: "We are all smart people, there is no need to play with these things. When you informed me of Rod Aka's coming to Paradise City, weren't you threatening me in disguise? It's a pity that his and I's identities remain unchanged. , I am the princess, and he is the viscount."

"Grand Duke Wen Kun is indeed capable of obtaining the items in the empire's treasury, but it is difficult for Rhodes to do so. What's more, have you seen his true face, Mr. Sean?"

Bai Ye finally showed some smile: "Mr. Sean, you are very courageous, but I can tell you the truth. When you arrive in the Imperial Capital, Rhodes' face will not be like this now, and I, at least, will Maintaining the dignity of a princess—you should be able to feel this, right?"

"It's a very smart thing to attract others to compete with me, but the person you attracted is Rhodes. You don't know him, I know him very well - so, he is not my threat, but yours."

"You can ask Ai Youqian for confirmation on some things. My promise is far more valuable than his."

After saying these words, Bai Ye elegantly picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently.

She firmly believes that she has seen through all Sean's thoughts, and she also firmly believes that the other party will make a more correct choice.

Because everything she said was true.

A complete showdown with Sean was a decision that Bai Ye made after thinking for a long time. She was not prepared to be controlled or threatened.

Instead of looking forward and backward, it is better to threaten the other party with something equally important.

She can even put it more bluntly, for example, if you don't give me something, then you will never get what you want.

However, Bai Ye still held back.

Of course, how the other party understands it is up to the other party.

Sure enough, she saw Sean narrow his eyes and tap lightly on the table with one finger.

"Can I take this as a threat? Your Highness."

Bai Ye shook his head: "It is true that I seek first, but excessive greed is not a good quality, and what I said is indeed true. At least, the princess can get what a viscount cannot get. And if the princess can’t get it, the viscount will definitely not be able to get it.”

She expected that after she said these words, Sean's expression would become ugly. After all, the other person had a violent temper.

However, the smile on Sean's face made Bai Ye feel slightly uneasy.

There should be no mistakes in your speculation, and the other party should also be clear about the pros and cons of your choice.

Even if it is a threat, this is just his normal response...

Then, Bai Ye saw Sean lazily raising one foot and showing an evil smile.

"Your Highness, you are very smart, your observation skills are very keen, and your choices are also correct."

Bai Ye's breathing speeded up unconsciously.

"It's just that you are still the princess..."

Sean's smile grew brighter.

"Your Highness, you don't think that you are the only one who has the ability to observe, do you?"

Bai Ye's hand under the table tightened, and her expression remained unchanged: "You can say less meaningless words. Even if you reveal all my information to Rhodes now, it doesn't make sense. You still need that thing after all, and The only person who can help you get that thing is me."

Sean blinked: "Are you so sure that only you can get it, and the Viscount can't do it?"

"Is he willing? Even if he is willing, it depends on my wishes." Bai Ye raised his chin slightly.

Sean raised his eyebrows: "That's what I said, but what if I gave the Viscount enough benefits?"

"I don't mean to look down on you, Mr. Sean, but the greedy Viscount will not be satisfied with what Paradise City can offer." Bai Ye still held his head high.

Sean nodded his head in agreement, and then said something that made Bai Ye's whole body shiver.

"But what if I tell him... Her Majesty is prepared to exchange something with me, and after that, she can get superpowers?"

How is that possible... Bai Ye's pupils shrank violently.

Her body almost froze, and she saw the man's triumphant smile.

He couldn't possibly know!

Only the Three Saints will know, not even Latiya!

And I had already shown resignation in the imperial capital. I had tried all tests and all methods. Everyone knew that the imperial princess was an ordinary person who could not awaken her powers, and she had already given up.

Even though I showed great interest in that thing, no one knew that it was related to the awakening of supernatural powers. It was the unique method of the Three Saints.

There is no way that Lord Saint III would betray me. He is so powerful and there is no need to go around in so many circles to do this...

Why would Sean know.

Her breathing was almost uncontrollable, but her status as a princess still made her frown slightly.

"Powers? Do you think I need that thing to awaken my powers? If possible, I hope this is true. After all, I do want powers. But, Mr. Sean, are you thinking too much?"

She even showed a slight smile under the huge shock.

But Sean just smiled: "Your Highness, your acting skills are good, but you have been exposed a long time ago... It is true that no one associates the imperial princess with superpowers, but, have you ever briefly possessed superpowers?"

Bai Ye's body froze in place.

Sean's smile became even brighter: "I forgot to tell you, I have the relevant ability to detect certain traces... I have it and then lose it? It must be difficult for the princess to accept it, right?"

Bai Ye raised his head hard: "You think too much."

"Really?" Sean raised the corner of his mouth, "This is my conjecture. It's understandable that you don't believe it...but maybe the Viscount will believe it."

The door was knocked at the right time, and the guard's voice sounded outside.

"Brother, the Viscount is back. I hope to see you again."

Sean looked at Bai Ye, who couldn't hide the paleness of his face.

"Now, it's your turn to make a choice, Your Majesty."
