Get ahead of the fallen heroine and make the minotaur the victim.

98. Her Royal Highness's Concern

When Valentina heard the news that Clyde was kidnapped, she was actually excited.

Because she still thought that the one who did this was Noah, the evil god.

However, this naive idea was instantly shattered after she saw the first demon who blocked her way.

It seemed that this incident was a continuation of that night. Although the mastermind behind the incident was most likely someone she knew, he was still far inferior to the evil god.

To be honest, Valentina was very angry because she felt she was deceived.

So she pretended to be angry about her childhood sweetheart being kidnapped, and killed the first demon who talked nonsense, before he could even get into combat mode.

But this is not without its benefits.

Because she originally thought that this time it would be a challenge for her to show impatience and anxiety for a long time.

But now it’s good, she really can’t wait to kill these annoying demons who made her misunderstand!

Childhood sweethearts don’t matter at all!

But these demons who made her wait in vain must die!

With such a radical idea in mind, Valentina seemed to have returned to the state she was before she met the evil god, and she rushed forward at a rapid pace.

At this time, she really forgot her position as a member of the royal family and killed purely to vent her inner dissatisfaction.

Judging from the results, good things were indeed done, but that was only incidental.

Because she simply wanted to kill the demons that were getting in her way.

Fortunately, these demons were a bunch of arrogant fools. Valentina just rushed up to them with an angry look on her face, and they began to reveal information triumphantly.

Thanks to them, Valentina knew that the final destination was the park.

The culprit who kidnapped her childhood sweetheart this time was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan, and one of the most powerful leaders in the entire Demon Clan.

Because they were so stupid, Valentina, who was in a rage, regained her rationality.

Of course, the main reason is that most of the anger has been vented.

With their lives.

In other words, although Valentina was in a semi-crazy state when fighting the seven demons on the way here.

But as she was heading to the park to put an end to it, she had already re-applied the mentality and acting skills she had trained from the god she hated.

Although the other party was most likely someone she knew, Her Royal Highness the Princess found herself getting nervous as she got closer to the other party.

The source of nervousness is not the worry that the other person is someone you know.

Instead, they are worried that the other person is not someone they know.

Because if that were the case, it would mean that she had misunderstood that person, and it would also prove that that person was actually watching her just like the evil god.

This should have been a good thing...it meant that there were still people who loved her besides her deceased mother and the evil god.

But she found this future terrifying.

Because this proves that Agatha, the goddess's messenger, and the words of the demon at that time were wrong.

Then the credibility of Agatha's statement that "the evil god did all these things to her because he doted on her" was greatly reduced.

That is to say, it is possible that the evil god does not love her, but she is just being self-indulgent and thinking that the evil god favors her.

What a terrible thing this is.

Because it means everything she has now is fake.

Whether it is this mood or her efforts, everything will lose its meaning.

The evil god just treated her as a toy, and she was just a self-conceited clown.

At that time, the current 'her' will die, and the new 'her' will be reborn from the corpse of the current her.

This fear that she might no longer be herself is the root cause of Valentina's increasing nervousness.

The reason why she didn’t have this thought before must be because she is too happy now.

She was afraid that the current situation would change, and that the evil god was not actually favorable to her future.

If she wasn't loved by the evil god, even though she didn't want to admit it, she might go completely crazy...

"Good evening, Tina. The moonlight is so beautiful today."

So, when her private tutor appeared in the park under the moonlight as if to greet her as usual.

The nervousness that had made her heart beat wildly before was gone in an instant.

Although she also knew that this also meant that she had indeed been betrayed by the people closest to her.

But she was comfortable with the betrayal.

...Ah, really? As expected, the person who betrayed me was my teacher. That's really...that's great.

Even Her Royal Highness the Princess herself did not realize that she needed the evil god to this extent.

It was thanks to Alan who did this that she was able to recognize her current feelings.

It turns out that it was enough for her to have that terrible God watching over her.

…because she was just as bad.

I actually felt relieved because of being betrayed.

Because the person in front of her was indeed Allen, Valentina showed a relieved expression after being stunned.

And this reaction seems completely reasonable to Allen.

After all, he saw his beloved teacher in the enemy's base camp.

I guess Her Royal Highness the Princess must think he is one of her own now!

Although he is not like that at all, it is simply that the princess is being sentimental! Haha!

Poor Allen, he had no idea that Valentina not only didn't consider him her own, but even hoped from the bottom of her heart that he was her enemy.

"…Mr. Allen, why are you here?"

At this time, the princess, who had completely adjusted her mood and was planning to make peace with Allen, started to act, pretending to be ignorant and trusting of Allen as she approached.

"Of course it's because you're here, Tina."

As a yellow-haired man, Allen had no idea that the Valentina he was facing now was not the pure and kind princess he knew, but the princess who had been corrupted by Noah and had become paranoid and sensitive.

He was still acting mysteriously, acting like the person Valentina trusted the most.

“…? What does that mean?”

But since he likes to act like a good guy here, Valentina is naturally willing to act with him.

Her Royal Highness the Princess pretended not to understand what Alan said and planned to move closer before speaking.

"Hehehe, haven't you realized it yet, Tina? I was the one who kidnapped Clyde-kun. I am the leader of the demon tribe in the royal capital!!!"

Alan thought he was being cool as he tore off his coat with his hands, and declared himself a winner with a smug and arrogant look on his face.

"!????"

Is this true?! I never thought it was Mr. Allen!!! I was just kidding~Ah, no, it’s too early to expose him now, I’ll continue to act for a while.

Her Royal Highness the Princess also cooperated very well and pretended to have just found out.

But in her dark purple eyes, which could not even be seen in the moonlight, there was a flash of an evil smile that was almost cruel and crazy.

Yes, just like the evil god.

……

……

PS. There will be another update around 1:1!

99. The Minotaur Soul is burning, but the wrong person is caught

I have to say, when Alan changed his usual gentle appearance and tore off the scholar's cloak on his body with his hands, he was indeed very imposing.

With just a simple action and speech, his temperament seamlessly switched from a harmless good guy to a heinous villain.

But unfortunately, because Valentina had seen more imposing beings, she was of course not surprised at all.

If she didn't want to give Alan, who betrayed her, the heaviest blow, Valentina really wanted to look at him like a fool and say coldly, "Oh, really? And then?"

"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, Tina! But this is the truth!"

Seeing Valentina's 'surprised' expression, Alan was so proud that he immediately removed his human mimicry and revealed his original appearance.

However, although they are called the demon clan, there are actually huge differences between each demon clan.

Or the so-called demons are just some intelligent monsters gathered under the command of the "Demon King".

Therefore, since there are beast-like demons, there are also demons similar to humans.

Alan is a demon that is closer to humans. The only difference between him and his human form is that his skin has become a darker yellow-brown and the sclera of his eyes is black.

What makes him most different from other demons is that he can grow tentacles from inside his body.

But because he is full of confidence now, he feels there is no need to continue to show more of his characteristics.

"Gu! How could this be! Are you saying that you have been lying to me from the beginning?"

In fact, Valentina, who had been injured before and had regained her spirits, pretended to be very hurt. She clenched the sword in her hand and pointed it at her "mentor Allen" not far away, but did not launch an attack immediately to show her hesitation.

"Lie? Tina, what are you talking about? I just concealed my identity as a demon. My feelings for you are genuine. You are my only and best student. I am sincerely happy to see how outstanding you are now."

This was not a lie. Alan really liked the heroine Valentina, but the way he expressed his "like" was not normal at all.

"So, then why did you kidnap Clyde?!"

Valentina certainly had no good feelings towards this hypocrite who pretended to be gentle from the very beginning and approached her.

But she also wanted to know why Clyde was kidnapped, so she took the opportunity to ask.

"Oh? You mean Clyde-kun? It's nothing. I just want him to do me a favor."

Alan followed Valentina's line of sight and looked at the brown-haired boy who was still sleeping on the ground behind him, then revealed a somewhat scary smile.

"Help? Then what..."

"It's nothing serious. I just want him to help me create an opportunity for you, Tina, to meet me here in this way. I'll be frank with you, Tina. How about becoming my woman?"

Alan shifted his gaze from the human boy back to the beautiful silver-haired princess, and with a confident and arrogant smile on his face, he made a confession that he knew would be rejected.

"..."

Valentina actually had a vague premonition before this, but when Alan really expressed this desire.

Valentina still felt speechless.

What a terrible way to confess.

No, that's not right. He shouldn't be unaware that I would refuse... So he said that just because he wanted me to refuse?

In his eyes, Clyde and I are still a couple...

So... that awful God is watching all this nearby?

Because of Noah's training, Her Royal Highness the Princess quickly understood Alan's true thoughts and even deduced that Noah was nearby.

It can be said that the growth is very significant.

She wouldn't just stand there in a daze, at a loss, like she did before.

"I can't do that! I'm Clyde's girlfriend!"

After thinking quickly, Valentina placed one hand on her chest and clenched it, with a firm look on her face, and directly rejected Alan's confession.

When saying this, Her Royal Highness the Princess really put herself into the role of a girlfriend, so her voice was full of emotion.

The only problem is that what she was thinking about at this moment was not her childhood sweetheart, but a black-haired young man.

"So what? How about saying it's better that way?"

However, when Alan saw Valentina's statement, he immediately made a very standard Minotaur speech.
