Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 209: Seed of Self-Doubt

Chapter 209: Seed of Self-Doubt

Facing Rosies repeated questioning, Elena was speechless and fell silent.

Did she have a choice? Thinking about it carefully, Rosie was probably right.

Perhaps she had a choice in the beginning, but after that damn pervert used various methods to force her, almost completely grinding her pride away. Elena had to be careful in order to not be at a disadvantage, and gradually got used to it.

So what if Rosie was right, what does that prove? She only got used to this way of life because she was helpless, that doesnt show she likes Lin Xiao.

Snow even made a bet with her before that even if she had a chance to kill Lin Xiao and remove the contract, she wouldnt do it and would willingly stay with him

What a joke! As expected from these foolish humans, just by acting subserviently, she was able to trick everyone. It seems like wiping out the humans was just a eventuality.

She thought ferociously while making a terrifying expression.

Rosie saw all her reactions and knew she didnt agree with what she said, and continued speaking with interest.

Hehe, Elena, I know what youre thinking since you deny it, then answer me this, if you really dont like him, then you cant explain that!

Something I cant explain?

She didnt believe something like that existed, and didnt believe she could distort the truth. She didnt like Lin Xiao, that was undisputed, nothing she asked could change this fact.

Elena, we fought with Water Academy a few days ago, you still remember that, right? When Veblen threw his axe towards Lin Xiao, you saved him. Though he stubbornly said that he still would have been able to avoid it by himself, but I definitely think that without your help, his head would have been crushed!

I remember, so?

So, my question is why did you save him? If you didnt like him or hated him, and didnt want to be his maid, then why dont you just let him die? Even if you didnt save him, no one would blame you.

Thats because Elena disdainfully curled her lips and prepared to answer.

It turned out to be such a foolish question. She had thought that Rosie would ask something difficult, but it wasnt much.

Shes already thought of a bunch of reasons for why she would save him. Such as because it would be troublesome, Elona was still with Snow, etc these were all perfectly logical reasons that showed that she only acted out of rational judgment, and not because of feelings for Lin Xiao.

As Elena was going to give her perfect excuse, Rosie interrupted her.

I know Elena, you probably have a lot of reasons and excuses, but I want to ask this, were you really able to weigh all the pros and cons in such a short period of time?

Eh?

In that instance, when he was in danger, you didnt even have time to think. There was only one reason you saved him Elena, you just didnt want him to die.

What? After hearing Rosie, it was like she was struck by lightning.

Am I wrong? No matter how many reasons you fabricate, in that instant, you just wanted to save him. You dont hate him and you dont want him to die. Elena, you cant lie to yourself, your instinctive reaction already sold you out!

No, thats not right! How is that possible? I was, just

What are you guys talking about? Lets go, it seems like theres people nearby, we have to get going! Caesars voice interrupted their secret chat.

With Caesar, they couldnt continue their conversation.

Damn, getting in my way! what a block of wood! He cant read the atmosphere at all.

Rosie glanced at Caesar, but she didnt make a fuss. She ended their conversation, made a victory sign and even spat out her tongue at Elena, then ran off towards Caesar.

On the other side, Elena was still immersed in their conversion.

Instinctive reaction?

So she didnt want him to die?

What kind of joke is that?

Impossible.

Shell never agree to that!

But she couldnt refute it

After a short break, Loran Academy set off once again. But now there was a seed planted in a certain maids heart.

A seed of self-doubt.

Boundary of the Forest of Despair

The black-haired siblings along with their two teammates carefully traversed through the serene forest.

Sis, look, the forest of despair is right ahead! The map was right, haha! Lin Tian pulled the beautiful girls arm and ran up.

If it wasnt for Yao Zi who was a burden, he probably wouldve already ran into the forest to look for the silver vault!

No one would think that a small academy like them could take the championship, but now the chance was right in front of them, Lin Tian had to grab onto this precious opportunity!

Listen, whats that sound?

A nearby explosion caught their attention.

Another battle? Rather than surprise, Lin Tian was more excited!

Maybe they can get even an even bigger harvest than last time!

Lin Tian immediately took their team and headed towards the direction of the explosion. When they got there, there was nothing there other than a burnt tree and some remnant embers on the ground.

Seventh-level magic? How is that possible?

After seeing the scene, Yao Zi held her mouth in shock.

It was strange, Yao Zi sucked at theory and didnt know anything about magic knowledge but just by examining the traces left behind the magic, she could tell it was seventh-level magic!

Seventh-level magic? What kind of joke is that, h-how could there be someone that can cast seventh-level magic? Although Lin Tian denied it, he was panicking on the inside.

Such a large scale explosion but there was just one explosion, along with the embers on the tree and the blast radius, it could only be done by seventh-level magic.

There were no seventh-level magicians in this competition, and the highest level was Heino Academys Devoru, a sixth-level warrior, so how could anyone cast seventh-level magic?

Strange wait a minute, what is that?

While he was considering the possibilities, he noticed footprints along with a bow knot cloth dyed with blood!

Is it an injured teammate? Haha, what luck! Lets go!

Isnt there luck too good? Its like it was arranged by the Goddess!

Eh? Are we really going after them? I think we should leave.

Quiet, hurry up and follow me!

Lin Tian forcibly ordered, and they could only obediently follow him. Soon, they stopped at some dense shrubs.

Strange, the footprints end here

Lin Tian lowered his head, looking for clues but Yao Zi looked up ahead with a serious expression.

This was the forest of despair.

The surroundings was incomparably quiet, there wasnt even the sound of birds.

Why dont we go back. She said while tightly hugging her arms with a slight trembling voice.

Sis, what are you saying, how can we turn back now? We have the map, victory is right in front of us, do you not want to win? Lin Tian excitedly clenched his fist while continuing to look for the injured member without looking up.

Whatever! I-I think theres something spooky here, something bad will happen if we go in! Yao Zi suddenly lost control of her emotions, she ran over to him and pulled on the edge of his clothes, like she wanted him to stop, Hey, lets go back, okay? We already got a lot of points, even if we dont get first, we can make it into the top five. Thats already very impressive, the principal will be satisfied for sure!

Hah? Sis, what are you afraid of? Dont worry, Ill protect you if anything happens! Lin Tian shook her off without any worries.

No! Thats not it! Yao Zi bit her lips with a complicated expression, This times enemy seems, seems

Sis, you eh?

Lin Tian impatiently turned back and wanted to complain, but he stopped after seeing her tearful expression.

Not just him, the other two teammates also found it strange and silently stared at her.

Yao Zi was an incompetent magician, everyone knew that. She knew nothing about magic theory and couldnt complete a magic circuit. Even if her magic power broke through the fifth-level, she couldnt even successfully cast fourth-level magic. Her combat capability was troubling, so being scared was natural.

But this time, her reactions far surpassed being afraid, it was like she had premonition of a terrifying disaster.

Disaster? Even then, Lin Tian wanted to win, no one can stop him!

Okay, calm down! Well definitely find the silver vault and win! So dont worry and just follow me!

But, but eh? Whats that? While she was thinking about how to persuade him, she saw a vague figure in the shrubs nearby.

There was an injured woman hiding there!
