"I'm going to find Orson. You don't have to follow me. I can protect myself."

Elsa said this and followed Franka.

Although the guards looked worried, they felt relieved when they thought that Elsa was looking for Orson.

The two walked around and stopped at the door of a house.

Franka knocked on the door, and then the door opened a crack, and an orange-haired orc girl poked her head out.

"Two of you?"

"Yeah~" Franka nodded.

Then the door to the room was opened, she took Elsa into the room, and then closed the door.

"Is Orson here?" Elsa asked eagerly as soon as she entered the room.

"Yes, but sister, are you too impatient? Is it possible that you and Orson have that kind of relationship?"

Franka said this, looking at Elsa with a rather playful expression on her face.

"No...I..."

Elsa was about to deny it, but Franka continued:

"No wonder, no wonder Orson doesn't support Alsace, who is clearly in the upper hand, and wants to help you even after making such a big sacrifice."

"...sacrifice?" Elsa was stunned for a moment when she heard these two words, and then quickly asked:

"What happened to Orson?"

"The crisis in Saint Laurent City was almost resolved by Orson alone. Think about it, as a person with only eighth-level strength, how can Orson kill Alsace, who is also at the eighth level, and escape? ?”

Franka said this, turned her hand away, came to the kitchen wall, groped on it, and a secret door leading to the underground appeared in front of her.

"So, after you meet Orson later, sister, please don't dislike him. You know, he only became like that because of you."

Franka waved to Elsa and then walked underground.

Hearing this, Elsa quickly followed, already having a premonition in her heart.

Maybe... what Langdon said was true?

Orson, doesn't it really have something to do with the devil?

The walk to the basement was not long, and the two of them soon reached the end, where an iron door closed. Franka stepped forward, gently pushed the iron door open, and then walked into the room.

"Your Highness the Princess, and later Your Majesty the Queen, you can come in now and see your most loyal minister."

Hearing this, Elsa paused on the spot for a few seconds, took a few deep breaths, and then took a firm step forward.

She was already prepared in her heart. No matter what Orson turned into in the end, she would never die.

Then, she walked into the room and saw Orson in the middle, lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

"In order to prevent others from finding him, I can only bring Orson to a place like this."

Franca explained.

"Compared to before, Orson is now a little more human. The big wings and sharp claws on his back are gone."

"But..." Elsa also noticed the most obvious abnormality in Orson's body.

The pair of black horns on the top of his head undoubtedly indicate Orson's identity.

"Yes, his eyes and horns have not returned to human appearance, so there is no way to return to human society for the time being."

"I see."

"So..." Franka said, walked behind Elsa, and silently closed the door.

Only then did Elsa notice that there was only one door in the basement. What did Franka mean by closing the door?

She raised her head and looked at Franka, her eyes full of doubts.

"There are only a few of us here, do we need to close the door?"

"It may not be necessary in the future, but it must be closed now." Franka said, looked at Elsa, and then asked:

"Elsa, if it were you, what would you choose to do after seeing Orson in this state?"

"..."

Elsa was stunned for a moment, and then said without thinking: "Orson became like this because of me. I will definitely help Orson keep this secret."

"Then do you know the reason why Orson became like this?"

"Maybe you drank some potion or something?"

"No……"

Franka heard this and shook her head.

"Crudely made things like potions cannot achieve such an effect. The reason why Orson is able to do this is because he has extremely pure demon blood in his body, or in other words, he himself is not at all. Pure human being.”

"His biological father and mother may have cast some kind of magic on him when he was born, so that his subsequent life would be smooth sailing like a human being."

Elsa was completely stunned when she heard this.

"So...you mean, Orson...is a demon?"

"Yeah." Franka nodded.

"By the way, I am also a race that you humans dislike very much."

Saying this, Franka smiled and showed her little fangs.

"So, make your decision, Elsa."

"It was you who tried your best to help Orson suppress the rumors and let him return to human society."

"It's better to simply declare him missing and let him live in the shadows like me."

"Choose one."

Chapter 70: Bizarre life experience

"Isn't it selfish to put his future in my hands?"

Elsa listened to Franka's words and answered with a smile.

She roughly understood why Franka called her here alone.

Although she is an ally with Orson, she does not know all of Orson's men and how many cards Orson has.

Just like Franka in front of her, if someone hadn't told Elsa specifically, she would never have connected her with the terrifying "Killing Angel" who was the boss behind the Orchid Tavern.

The current situation is similar to the emergency measures taken by Orson's men at this most critical node after he lost the ability to handle things. The purpose is to confirm whether Elsa will exclude them from the future of the empire. Unplanned.

Franka smiled after hearing what Elsa said.

"You are so cunning, Your Highness Elsa~"

At this time, there was movement from the bed behind him.

Their eyes were instantly awakened by Orson who was slowly waking up on the bed.

"Orson...are you...awake?" Elsa was the first to react, and she came to Orson's side.

"Um."

Orson nodded, then sat up straight.

His body was still very uncomfortable, just like an ordinary person suffering from a bad cold. However, what concerned him more than this was the changes in his body.

He touched his body, from his back to his palms, and finally stopped at his head.

He touched his horns...Obviously, his demonic characteristics have not been completely eliminated.

Seeing Orson's actions, Elsa also showed an understanding expression, and then said:

"Orson, I know everything about your physical problems."

"..." When Orson heard this, his eyes widened, and then he looked at Franka who was covering her mouth and snickering.

But in the end, he sighed with a wry smile.

"You know everything, Your Highness Princess, ah... no, maybe I should call you Her Majesty the Queen now."

"There aren't that many etiquettes. I'm still a student at Imperial College. You can just call me Elsa as usual."

Elsa said this and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Oson, are you worried that after I find out about this matter, I will banish or convict you because your existence affects the rule of the empire and the public security of the people? Regarding this, you don't have to worry at all, I... …Or we, we all believe in you.”

"Your power is always used in the right direction."

"Just like a saint may emerge from a family of thieves, demons are not all bad..."

"Your Highness, please don't say that."

Orson heard Elsa's words and quickly stopped her.

These words even sounded a bit contrary to Orson's will.

Yes, in the history of the empire, is there any demon who is not bad?

There are never any good demons.

Elsa said this, but she was just lying, trying to use white lies to appease Orson's emotions.

Orson himself also knows what kind of monster he will become if he succumbs to power.

"Devil..." On the other side, Imperial College.

Hecatia listened to Tris and shrugged indifferently.

"There are things scarier than demons in the world, so I don't feel anything about this kind of creature."

Tris saw that Hekatia was not interested, so she analyzed it alone.

"But... a rational demon can restrain the instinctive impulse in his blood... I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Generally, even if one has extremely pure blood, it would be difficult to restrain this kind of situation, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless he is a hybrid, the child of a demon and another powerful race, and another bloodline in his body suppresses his tendency to become a demon..."

"...Is this...possible?!"

Hekatia also turned her head at this time.

"It's already outrageous to have just one demon, but you also need to add another advanced race? But... there are rules against intermarriage between advanced races. Orson..."

"That's why Orson was abandoned."

Tris said this, interrupting Hekatia.

"Have you forgotten? Hecatia, Orson's life experience is that of an orphan in the war. In that case, people of this kind of background will be abandoned..."

"...So, Tris, what do you mean..."

"Wouldn't it be fun to help Orson find his origin?"

"...I'm not interested."

"Eh? But, Hekatia, we are obviously very important partners, right?"

As Tris said this, Lee came to Hekatia and said coquettishly.

"You're so old, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat."

Hecatea waved her hand impatiently.

"Stay away, I still have things to do..."

"No! If you don't promise me, Hekatia, I will stay here and never leave!"

"..."

Hecatea rolled her eyes at Tris angrily, and then said helplessly:

"As you wish."
