The Shapeshifter: "Your Highness! I'm Going to Slander You Like Crazy!" / Kitty Omelet: "Little Apple, I'm Counting on You Today!"
The Feline didn't explain further, snatched the keys, and went upstairs.
Although Feline's voice had become much hoarse, many people present could tell.
This is Kal'tsit, who caused a huge disturbance at the market a few days ago!
Why would this woman be at Tavern?
And they even have to wear cloaks. Aren't they usually so arrogant?
Chapter 226 The Shapeshifter: Your Highness! I'm going to slander you horribly!
That's it.
Kal'tsit went upstairs with a guilty conscience, attracting almost everyone's attention.
Sarkaz knew that voice all too well, so well that he wanted nothing more than to tear that woman to pieces.
Even if it's a disguise, and he looks completely different from before, his tone betrays everything.
"Boss, you're just going to put this woman up like that?"
A Sarkaz unicorn walked up to the front desk and said discontentedly.
The Tavern owner lamented, "What can I do? She's His Highness's favorite. I really don't know why His Highness would... Besides, we haven't even confirmed if it's really her yet."
Sarkaz the Unicorn continued, "What I mean is, why is this woman so mysterious now? She stands arrogantly in front of us during the day, but now she wants to hide her true identity. She's not trying to do anything bad."
Hearing this, the people in the Tavern were instantly filled with righteous indignation and were about to pick up their weapons and rush up to give Kal'tsit a good beating.
But Sarkaz the Unicorn restrained these impulsive people, saying, "Don't be so impulsive. We are all veterans who survived the Patriotic War a hundred years ago. Besides, what kind of conspiracy is this..."
"What if we rush in too fast and make such a commotion that the other side gets away? We don't have any evidence, and His Highness won't believe us."
"Does Your Highness truly only believe in that witch?"
The people in the Tavern were furious. Who was this Demon King? Why was he so biased towards outsiders?
Sarkaz curled his lip, thinking to himself, "These muscle-bound guys are really easy to fool. I succeeded in no time."
"It would be better to find someone with some stealth abilities. I once acquired a treasure while traveling in another country that could record people's voices."
"I'll do it."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a hooded figure, completely concealed in darkness, emerged.
"Oh, I remember you. You're the ruthless man who successfully assassinated three Steam Knight a hundred years ago."
The moment the hooded man stepped out, almost immediately someone pointed at him excitedly, instantly maximizing the emotional impact on the scene.
Everyone present was astonished. They had already risked their lives to defeat a single Steam Knight, but they never expected there to be another expert among them.
Just as the novel described, the Tavern truly was a place where hidden talents resided.
And so, amidst everyone's anticipation.
The so-called assassin, carrying a radio, quietly sneaked into Kal'tsit's room.
And half an hour later, after Kal'tsit checked out despite the hateful looks from everyone, the hooded man finally came down the stairs.
"How's it going, bro? Have you gathered any intelligence?"
The people in the Tavern immediately asked anxiously.
The hooded man held up the tape recorder and said in a terrified tone:
"I heard the voices of Leithanian in that woman's room just now. I'm absolutely certain I can't mistake that accent. I heard them plotting a rebellion and trying to drag others down with them."
Everyone was astonished. Sarkaz, the one-horned monster, quickly turned on the recorder, and immediately everyone present heard Kal'tsit's annoying voice.
At the same time, another woman's voice could be heard on the tape recorder.
The accent was very familiar; at least all the Sarkaz present were very familiar with the language spoken by the other woman.
Leithanian! That beastly nation!
The radio was still playing its program.
Kal'tsit: "Are you ready? My plan has at least twenty years to go, but don't hold me back."
Leithanian: "We are naturally prepared, but are you sure you can persuade that Demon King?"
Kal'tsit: "That woman Theresia is incredibly foolish. She was easily deceived by my few words. Not only that, but I have also secured even greater benefits for you over the years."
Leithanian: "What do you mean?"
Kal'tsit: "Recently, Theresia has been getting along very well with the Speaker of Victoria. Moreover, this so-called the Speaker is genuinely helping Kazdel because he has a Banshee wife. If there is any turmoil in the country, Theresia is very likely to ask him for help."
Leithanian: "Victoria is indeed a problem, but I think you should have a solution."
Kal'tsit: "I will send people to spread the word about how terrible Victoria is, so that these foolish Sarkaz will indirectly become hostile to the Speaker of Victoria. At the same time, Your Highness will continue to entice that the Speaker to invest in Kazdel, and then all his money will end up in our hands."
Kal'tsit: "When Kazdel is on the verge of collapse because of us, Victoria will probably be drained of its resources. At that time, we can launch a full-scale attack, and Theresia will have no chance to resist."
Leithanian: "That's a really vicious move, but how can you guarantee that Speaker Victoria will listen to you?"
Kal'tsit: "Because the Speaker is an idiot. He insists on putting his kindness into Kazdel. Of all the races, why did he have to marry a Sarkaz? If he doesn't get tricked by us, who will? That's how good people are."
Kal'tsit: "In this world, good people don't get good results. Who told him not to cooperate with us? Who told him to stand on the opposite side of us? Besides, I have completely gained Theresia's trust."
Leithanian: "Then I'll await your good news. The plan is still in progress, so let's hope nothing goes wrong... Kazdel will surely be ours..."
The recording was still playing, but those present could already understand what had happened.
Kal'tsit wanted to unite with Leithanian to annex Kazdel, but she hesitated to act because she was wary of Victoria's protection of Kazdel.
"Oh no! The Speaker is going to be killed!"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
In fact, Victoria's reputation did not improve much in Sarkaz's eyes, but the Speaker Victoria's reputation was very high.
Because all these projects benefiting the people were established in the name of the Speaker, and thanks to Theresia's adoring behavior, the Master Huang's kindness was not concealed at all in this country.
Therefore, his reputation was excellent, basically on par with the two princes.
Billions in subsidies, trustworthy!
The Sarkaz all stated: Victoria is Victoria, the Speaker is the Speaker; the two should not be confused.
The main reason is that the fact that the Speaker has a Banshee wife has been widely accepted, and this identity has also been acknowledged by the Banshee River Valley and the Demon King.
It is highly credible.
Moreover, the investment in Kazdel is not a lie; only those who truly do good deeds for free would do so.
Otherwise, what exactly is the Speaker after?
The only possibility is that they genuinely want to help Kazdel develop, but now our Demon King and Chairman have been manipulated!
"We need to inform the others of this news as soon as possible, otherwise our families will definitely be deceived once Kal'tsit spreads rumors!"
However, the hooded man explained his thoughts, "But we must all keep this a secret, because His Highness still trusts Kal'tsit very much, and what if the news gets to her..."
"What if Kal'tsit uses other methods later... so until then, we must be patient and pretend to be ignorant."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with the hooded man's idea.
So they all started to spread the information they had obtained that day, but no one leaked it.
But after the party ended, in the alley behind the Tavern...
The main characters of the story all gathered together.
Hooded men, Sarkaz with one horn, Leithanian, jeering drunkards, and even "Kal'tsit".
In fact, they are all the same person. Tonight's farce was actually a product of the Shapeshifter Collective's own planning and performance.
Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences?
"Now we just have to wait for things to escalate further. It's definitely easier to fool ordinary people than shrewd ones."
The Shapeshifter stretched. In fact, she had changed her script many times these days. Whether in the Tavern or elsewhere, "Kal'tsit" would always appear in the crowd.
But Theresia just didn't notice.
Chapter 227 Little Cat Roll: Little Apple, I'm counting on you today!
At the same time.
In the Demon King's Palace, Theresia, who had just returned from her best friend's place, looked at Dukare, who was working, with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Originally, as the Demon King, she wanted to show concern, but after saying a few words, the other party did not respond at all.
Dukare pushed up his glasses, which had no prescription, his eyes filled with helplessness.
What's up? If you don't have anything to say, don't bother me while I'm doing my accounts.
"Mr. Dukare, what are you calculating right now?"
Theresia could understand the numbers, but she had no idea what her finance minister was calculating.
"Please use your title when you're at work! Please call me Minister of Finance..."
After making a small complaint, Dukare slammed the ledger down in front of Theresia.
"Thanks to your relationship with that the Speaker, I have much more to do and more accounting data to keep this up over the past year. Would you like to take a look?"
This is the authority of an elder; Dukare is much older than Theresia.
Realizing she was in the wrong, Theresia didn't bother Dukare any further and could only leave sheepishly.
Dukare is really working hard...
After seeing the Demon King leave, the Blood Demon Lord couldn't help but praise himself for his cleverness.
In fact, what he calculated must not be seen by Theresia.
In order to cooperate with the Shapeshifter's plan, Dukare intended to bundle all the necessary conditions for the implementation of the plan together, which is commonly known as being greedy.
After all, she had to act as Kal'tsit. If she were to spend money so timidly with His Highness's support, it would fail to demonstrate Kal'tsit's tyranny and cruelty.
Master Huang has now been completely molded by the Shapeshifter into the image of a great traitor.
He won Sarkaz's deep sympathy.
Although Sarkaz didn't like Victoria, he quite liked Master Huang and had even begun to feel sorry for him.
"The problem is how to completely side with Master Huang. Do we really have to launch a purge of the court of corrupt officials?"
"We need to discuss this with the old man."
After finishing his account book, Dukare immediately went to Nizere's camp.
"Grandpa, why are you planting sweet potatoes here?"
As soon as the Blood Demon Lord arrived at the military camp, he discovered that Nizere was leading a large group of people to cultivate the land, which was called "military farming".
"Dukare, what are you doing here? Does Mr. Huang have some instructions again?"
Nizere put down his hoe and asked with concern.
"I'd like to discuss military matters with you."
Dukare glanced at the people around him, and was then led by Nizere to a secluded office.
Nizere poured himself a cup of hot tea. "Military matters? What's going on with the military right now?"
Dukare: "Old man, we have indeed sidelined His Highness. Now, under the guidance of the Shapeshifter, the people living in Kazdel don't hate His Highness, but at least they won't reject Mr. Huang coming to Kazdel."
"Even the army we personally lead doesn't necessarily obey our orders 100%. Theresia's personal charisma can't be easily erased, not to mention that the brother and sister have their own personal guards."
These soldiers are all elite troops; they won't be easy to deal with in a fight.
If it were really that easy to eliminate the influence of these siblings, Master Huang would have been the Demon King long ago.
After thinking for a while, Nizere gave his answer:
"I have already told my people what I am going to do. When the war breaks out in the future, the Scavenger Royal Court will directly side with Mr. Huang's army and announce the news of all the casualties."
"All?"
Dukare was somewhat surprised. Was it really that ruthless?
"Otherwise, why do you think I would settle down here to cultivate the land? All the elite forces of my Scavenger Royal Court are here, and the purpose is to get rid of Your Highness's influence."
