Chapter 198: Non-Lethal Attack is Legal
It seems like it's not just Ava who intends to make the library a place of escape.
A spoonful of mashed potatoes came to a halt in the air, Dion instantly froze with his mouth open as Ava's figure entered his focal zone. For a few seconds, the teenager did not know what to act like. "Ah, um, uhh ..."
"You can finish your food, don't mind me." It was only then that Dion realized a servant was following the girl, with a trolley filled with warm plates.
10 mins.
It was only 10 minutes before Dion broke the peace within the library. He was too curious for his own good.
"Anu, um, is it true that you are a royal princess, uh, Your Majesty? Miss?" Dion wasn't sure what honor to refer to it.
Ava is just a petty criminal.
But the dopplegangger he replaced was indeed a princess.
"Right, but you can be relaxed, after all we're at the gate, royalty are equally helpless here." Although Ava herself revealed it, she would not be comfortable either.
Just look at Dion's wry face now.
Inside the gate or not, a normal person would feel burdened with the proximities of high-ranking individuals around them. No one can be sure that the problem they caused inside the gate will not follow them while outside. Being polite is a wise choice. That's what he did when he first met Ezra.
Of course, except for people who are malicious. For example, an insane noble who attacked Queen Isabel while in the labyrinth yesterday.
"Then, Princess, uh, means that the woman who argued with you last night was indeed a demon?"
"someone"? Ava almost scoffed. "true."
"Well, I just saw the devil for the first time! How could you know? Does the palace have books about them? You know all I know is child fairy tales." Dion was too cheerful and excited in discussing this.
"I know because his brother invaded my kingdom before we were accidentally sucked into the gate."
"Ah, but they look more normal than I thought."
"In that case, would it not be better if we .. um, .. mumpung status demon is locked ...."
Ava knew what Dion wanted to say.
"We can't." The girl grabbed the steak knife, swinging it hard at Dion's neck who hadn't even had a chance to blink. But the invisible barrier stopped Ava's movement.
The teenager blinked, there was a bitter lump in his stomach, his spine was cold. Is ... Did the Princess just want ...
Ava deliberately ignored the shaken Dion. "A life-threatening lethal attack will automatically be blocked, but other contact is still allowed." This time Ava pinched Dion's crippled arm by his side. "But of course, the traitor could have done anything because of the role he played."
"The traitor .." repeated Dion, still half conscious.
"The traitor" Ava whispered softly, implanting the concept she had just described into the teenager's naive mind.
Tik tok tik tok.
6.55.
The time for discussion is almost here. Ava tidied up her dress, preparing to be teleported.
Dion, even though the teenager was eager to complete this quest, Dion was still unfamiliar with the conditions inside the gate.
Because he was just a village boy who was forced to become a participant because of the gate that sucked participants at will.
Only people who have become accustomed to the cruel side of the world have thought about hurting others as an experiment.
"Aah!" Dion exclaimed beside him. And Ava knew her first stage plan was working.
Zap up!
The dazzling light came.
