The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Chapter 786 The Prince’s Frankness

Just before the prince behind her was about to come over, Louise lowered her voice and quickly asked:

"What do you mean by introducing the prince to me?"

Horamik's smile did not diminish, his lips moved slightly, and he replied in a low voice:

"His status is high enough, and he will naturally help you the most. I am doing this for your own good, so please don't question my professionalism."

"Professional? Professional as a 25-year-old?" Louise questioned in her mind.

Then, the Archbishop stepped past Louise, greeted her with a smile, and said:

"Your Highness Damian"

Louise was not in the mood to listen to the pleasantries between the two. She had already had the idea of ​​retreating at this moment. It was originally a simple thing, but now it became more and more weird.

More importantly, after things have changed like this, the value of the temptation of the "Eternal Witch" sealed artifact compared with the possible unknown changes seems to have become questionable.

She stood there and hesitated for a moment. Her unsteady heart prevented her from leaving immediately, so she was naturally stopped by Horamik, who enthusiastically introduced:

"The Miss Louise in front of me is a devout believer in the 'Goddess of the Night'. She has admired His Highness Damian for a long time. Today's encounter may be the arrangement of the gods."

Good guy, do you want to take a look at your face now? The corner of Louise's mouth twitched slightly, and she said "arrangement by the gods", three people, three beliefs, can you tell me which god arranged it?

If I were the "God of Steam", I would definitely strike you to death with a bolt of lightning when I saw my archbishop like this. Well, lightning seems to be the authority of the "Lord of Storms", but the "God of Steam" is a "craftsman" and cannot create lightning.

Not difficult.

After her inner desire to complain was released, Louise took a deep breath, calmly looked at Prince Luen in front of her, and said hello very concisely:

"It's an honor to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Regardless of whether things were as bad as Louise imagined, at least Prince Damian's attitude was impeccable, and he responded in a gentle tone:

"It is also an honor for me to meet Miss Louise."

While the two were talking, Horamik, who was next to him, silently stepped back, obviously leaving space for the two of them to communicate alone.

Seeing this situation, Louise said angrily in her heart:

"No wonder this guy can join the 'Twilight Hermits', he's so temperamental!"

She glanced at Horamik's retreating figure, then her eyes fell on His Highness the Crown Prince again, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

As a result, Damian spoke first and asked calmly:

"Miss Louise and Audrey are good friends?"

Louise was slightly surprised, and at the same time she thought quickly in her mind. Judging from the appearance of His Royal Highness, it seemed that he was no stranger to me. Had he investigated me in advance? Or was it the result of observations at tonight's banquet?

But even the information just discovered from the banquet was enough to show that he paid special attention to her. Louise made up her mind and decided not to test each other, but chose to ask straight to the point:

"Your Highness knows about me?"

Damian probably rarely experienced such candid exchanges. He couldn't help but be stunned for half a second, then regained his grace and replied with a smile:

"I heard Bishop Horamik mention it, but for a lady as shining as Miss Louise, everyone at the banquet will pay attention."

Automatically filtering out the compliment that followed, Louise continued to ask calmly:

"What did Horamik tell you about me?"

This sentence seemed a bit rude. Although Damian's expression remained unchanged, his eyes stayed on Louise's face for two more seconds before he answered:

"Mr. Bishop didn't say much, he just briefly introduced Miss Louise's origins."

The focus was on the word "origin" with an emphasis on the word "origin", which indeed caused Louise's hesitation, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continued after a moment of silence:

"Actually, we have had the opportunity to meet before, but the time you joined the party, I was unable to attend the party due to some accidents."

As soon as these words came out, Louise felt a lot more at ease. It turned out that everyone was a member of the "Twilight Hermits", so everything was easy to talk about.

I also blame myself for being blinded by the "princess" thing, and my thinking has become a little unstable, which is really wrong.

After thinking about it, Louise finally showed a kind smile, her tone became much gentler, and said:

"It's not too late to get to know each other now. Bishop Horamik didn't lie. I have admired His Highness Damian for a long time!"

This level of face-changing speed was not surprising to Damian, who was the prince. He showed no expression of surprise and just echoed:

"That's exactly what I thought."

After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and most of the awkward atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.

Soon, the smile gradually faded, but Louise still had some doubts in her heart. Considering that the two of them had already told each other about the identities of the "Twilight Hermits", she simply stopped restraining and asked directly:

"His Royal Highness's selection of the princess is quite surprising. I wonder if it is your own idea? Or is it the expectation of His Majesty the Emperor?"

Damian's expression did not change and he replied calmly:

"My father's advice was to let me see more so that I could get in touch with some outstanding ladies like Miss Louise, but in the end I would choose to follow tradition."

That's good, that's good!

Louise understood. The message revealed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's answer was very clear. The matter of selecting the princess was just a pretense, just to create conditions to establish a connection with herself. The real candidate had actually been booked long ago.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Louise's thoughts started again, and new doubts arose again. It was impossible for Horamik to persuade Prince Damian to make such a big sacrifice, let alone George III.

Knowing this, it seems that there are not many options for those who can influence George III's decision!

Could it be that Adam is up to something again?

Louise calmed down. She did not choose to explore the hidden island with Alger, the Hanged Man, and thus missed the so-called "simple mode" of "promoting to the immortal witch" prepared by Adam. But now it seems that she

Doesn’t seem to escape Adam’s arrangement?

But can this way of obtaining the "Eternal Witch" trait be given up?

Louise asked herself, and found that she couldn't do it for the time being, because she had no better way to be promoted. And who can guarantee that other ways of promotion will not be interfered by Adam?

"Utopian Angel", what does he want to do?

Even if she was secretly helped by Adam in the process of being promoted to the "Eternal Witch", Louise could choose to pretend not to know and pay Adam for free. It sounds very exciting!

I just don’t know if Adam is willing to be taken advantage of.
