Then, she sneered and continued:
"I didn't expect that after Madam Sharon died, everyone would not be able to escape the follow-up arrangements. After leaving Tingen, we could actually meet again in Backlund... How is it? Are you used to the life of a woman?"
By the end, Trissy's tone had changed from ridicule to sadness. It seemed that she was not only laughing at Witch, who was in the same situation as her, but was also lamenting that her life after promotion was not what she expected.
She did not recognize any specific "Assassin" colleague Angel, but regarded her as one of her companions who was once a subordinate of Madam Sharon but had never met. This is also consistent with the memory that Angel inherited from Cole Granger. Cole has not seen Tris or other assassins, but only knows that Madam Sharon is not the only one offline.
That's the benefit...well, the downside of one-way connections...
Thanking the deceased Madam Sharon for his "contribution", Angel also showed a hint of sadness, thereby shortening the distance between the two, and then asked:
"Sevillea only asked me to meet you. What are her plans? And why are you here?"
——Is this the "joint plan of the Demoness Sect and Aurora Order" that Lola said?
Trissy's sad eyes became blurred, and his face was full of doubts, as if he was just starting to think about his own problems.
"I... I don't know. After I came to Backlund, they arranged for me to get close to Edessak, but this was not what I wanted. I tried to escape, but I was always caught due to various coincidences. Recently, I have become accustomed to that kind of life... as if I fell into an abyss from which I can't escape."
"Do you know that feeling? I originally liked women, the kind with beautiful faces and attractive figures, but now I have become such a woman, and every day I wake up and find myself naked, held in the arms of an equally naked man..."
Her lips parted slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes wandered around, and finally locked on Angel, whose expectant eyes made the latter a little uneasy.
"Since you know me, please help me," Trissy's tone was filled with endless temptation, as thick as the syrup on Angel's favorite sweets, "I will tell Sevillea to let you get close to me and monitor me. After that, you just need to find an opportunity..."
Halfway through the words, the confusion and hope on Trissy's face were wiped away, and it returned to the faint smile when they first met. The black pupils expanded, the whites of the eyes were covered, and the long black hair spread automatically without wind.
This incoherent scene, which seemed like the movie had skipped a section, made Angel feel tight inside. He quietly took two steps back and came to the edge of the balcony.
As long as Trissy makes any move, she will be ready to jump off the building to escape.
As if only a moment had passed, the abnormality in "Demoness of Pleasure" who was confused about his identity disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Trissy, who has a gentle and sweet face and a hint of temptation in her slender eyes, grinned slightly. She stretched out her left hand and elegantly took care of her messy long hair and the complicated and heavy long skirt on her body. Her movements were as skillful and natural as a natural woman.
"Sorry, I just lost my temper. Please tell Sevillea that I will play my role well."
Saying completely different words from before, Trissy put down his left hand, came to the balcony door, pulled Door Opening, and left accompanied by the middle-aged man.
The Sapphire Ring on the little finger of her left hand shone under the light, making Angel a little scared.
Subconsciously walking out of the balcony, Angel looked at the two people's backs and came to the stairs. A young man wearing a tight-fitting dress like a military uniform came over, stretched out his hand to take Trissy's slender arm, and walked down the stairs.
The middle-aged man stood at the stairs for a long time, looking in the direction where the two people left.
This scene that was supposed to make Angel reverie could not enter her heart at all at this time. The scene of Trissy and Face Changing just now was like a fish bone stuck in her throat, making her feel uneasy and frightened.
She hurried back to the restaurant, took a glass of white wine and drank it in one gulp. The burning sensation of the alcohol spread from her mouth to her chest and abdomen, making her heart gradually calm down.
It was only then that Angel realized that the clothes on her back were already wet, all from the cold sweat she shed while watching Trissy leave on the balcony.
After resting for a while, Angel returned to the hall in front after regaining his strength, and saw Sevillea dancing a cheerful double dance with another unknown noble man to the variation of Intis dance music.
"This guy really has a wide range of contacts... She should be allowed to experience the terrifying incident just now, and then I should dance without any worries!"
Angel cursed and waited by the railing on the second floor until Sevillea finished dancing the song and returned to the second floor under the reluctant eyes of the noble man and came to her side.
"Looking at your expression, you must have seen your old friend, right? Are you surprised?"
Taking a glass of sparkling wine from the waiter on the side, Sevillea took a sip and asked with squinting eyes in satisfaction.
More than just a surprise, it was simply terrifying...
Angel really wanted to answer like this, but looking at the other party's expression, it was obvious that she was only talking about her acquaintance with "Tris", not the strange events that happened afterwards, so she did not mention that incident, but frowned and asked:
"Who was the young man who took away Trissy just now? He was wearing a uniform like a military uniform, and his face was a bit round..."
Listening to Angel's description, Sevillea quickly smiled.
"He is the organizer of this ball, and this luxurious manor is one of his mansions in Backlund. 'Edessak Augustus', do you remember the name?"
Edessak... Trissy mentioned this name just now, saying that Demoness Sect arranged to get close to him, and Augustus, this is the surname of the royal family of the Loen Kingdom!
"Is he Prince of the Loen Kingdom?"
"One of Prince. Although Edessak is not as valued as his two brothers and is unlikely to inherit the throne, his assets are still measured in millions of pounds. This manor is only an insignificant part of his property."
Angel suddenly realized that he remembered the various Augustus faces printed on Gold Pound, soli and pennies. They all had round, cute faces.
No wonder Sevillea and Demoness Sect think Trissy is an important chess piece. She has actually gotten close to a certain Prince, and may even have become his mistress...
Thinking of Trissy's confused and confused expression just now, as well as her confusion about her identity change, Angel wanted to laugh a little. She even looked forward to seeing what kind of expression that Prince Edessak would have when he discovered Trissy's true identity.
But then he thought that his own identity was also the same, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
Seeing Angel's expression changing, Sevillea chuckled and continued to ask:
"What did she tell you? Did she mention what was going on at Prince?"
"I didn't mention it. I even just found out from you that she knew Prince...Trissy just talked to me about Tingen. Before she became 'Witch', she was confused about her identity. Then she asked me to convey to you that she would play her role well, and then left."
Angel skipped the mysterious and terrifying changes in the middle and told Sevillea almost "truthfully" about the conversation between the two.
The latter nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good. My identity is relatively conspicuous and I am not suitable for approaching her. However, you can 'encounter' her by chance and appear next to her frequently. I will create opportunities for you to get close to Trissy. But remember, the most important thing is to ensure that she stays at her 'post' and report any abnormalities to me immediately."
"Abnormal? Like what kind?"
Thinking of the abnormal phenomenon just now, Angel quickly asked.
"Of course it's an attempt to escape. She has tried it several times. Oh, I don't even think about how she could escape our 'arrangement'..."
Arrangement?
Angel instantly thought of the "various coincidences" Trissy said, and thought of Tingen City's Nighthawks team's experience of being "arranged", and grasped this key clue.
"Okay, I understand," she replied without changing her expression, nodding slowly, "She has left, so shall we leave now?"
"It's only less than 8 o'clock now. It can only be regarded as a warm-up, and then it will be a formal occasion."
Demoness of Pleasure, who was addicted to socializing and dancing, smiled slightly, took two steps forward, stretched out his wrist to accept the invitation of another nobleman, and the two of them walked down the stairs and entered the dance floor under the gaze of Angel, and started dancing again that made people blush.
What about Glaint? Why is he missing?
Angel glanced around, but did not find the viscount who had been rubbing elbows with Sevillea before.
Could it be that he couldn't stand the temptation of those erotic scenes and Demoness of Pleasure, so he left the show first?
"Sorry, Miss," just as she didn't know where to look, a low voice sounded in her ears, "Someone you know asked me to give this item to you."
Angel turned around to look, and the middle-aged man who had been following Trissy quietly came over, stretched out his hand and handed out a beautifully shaped handkerchief. It was folded randomly, and there seemed to be some hard object inside.
"Trissy?"
Although she already guessed who the other party was talking about, she still asked cautiously.
The man nodded, handed over his handkerchief, and looked around cautiously. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this corner, he turned around and left quickly.
Walking to a deserted place, Angel opened the handkerchief. This obviously valuable handkerchief contained a transparent test tube inside, which was tightly sealed by a wooden stopper. The viscous dark red liquid inside was slowly changing its shape as Angel turned over, with Star dots of off-white powder shining in it.
This is a Communication Potion belonging to "Demoness of Pleasure"!
