Chapter 200: Beginning, Finally
Forced withdrawn participants.
The mystery that didn't go away immediately.
Death of a participant.
And now, they were greeted by an announcement urging the people gathered at the round table.
All nations were increasingly agitated by the absence of news of the killer ending their king's life. The people demand justice for the late monarchy.
Time limit: 24 hours
Right, there is now a final line to decide who is the traitor among them. As if getting them all to work together wasn't hard enough.
"I still think that we should reveal the role of each~" Asmo who opened the discussion first. But instead of measuring the reactions in other people, the demon's view focused only on Ava.
He interpreted Asmo's gaze as a challenge, given his repulsion for the suggestion last night. But there is something else. Ava recognizes the flash of pleasure on the thin iris, Lucifer burns the image in his retina. It was as if the demon had won in a game that Ava did not know to follow.
However, no strange events occurred, except ...
Ellija.
Ava focused her attention on the fake fiancee who was still sitting hunched over as she was still drunk. He nearly jumps over the table to strangle Asmo when he catches the demon grin on his periphery.
But before Ava could do her impulse, Dion first replied. "Sa-I agree too! At least, that way we figure out who's responsible for what."
"You want to obey the devil?!" the old man as usual shouted without hesitation.
"Even so, our status window is still locked, he's the same as any ordinary human here!"
By that logic, no one could argue, because [System] was considered an all-powerful existence, even for a demon.
... Perhaps his irritated feelings stem from his petty nature, so even though this meeting is still going according to plan (for the most part, because he has to take care of Ellijah later), it is not, Ava could barely stop the urge to claw at Asmo's arrogant face.
Dion's friend, with red eyes and swollen from crying too often, though still looking lost and confused, seemed to trust Dion enough to decide, he also agreed.
That way, there are already five people who respond positively.
The thin iris of the demon seemed to mock Ava.
The girl was eager to argue until the end, only to challenge Asmo. Fortunately Ava has decided when her rationality still dominates, and she will follow the plan she has made despite her pride being a victim.
Because following the majority will benefit him.
Not only can she figure out the role of others, Ava can match the names and situations that [Systems] put into this mystery story.
Phase two in the plan can also be executed.
Although Ava continued to imagine that she was gouging out the devil's eyeball, the fake princess went with the flow of discussion.
"As I said yesterday, I am the queen consort of the king."
The sign of his submission finally came out. Although Ava was determined, this did not make the process any easier.
"Ouh~ I'm the butler~" Ava can only tighten her jaw even though Asmo lifts her chin with a sharpshoot.
Ava thought Asmodeus was a demon of lust, not pride. Or pride is just the nature of all demons.
Ugh.
At least now, the game of looking for traitors can be started correctly.
And Ava is sure to win.
