Chapter 117: Ugh, Just Kill Me
“Who will keep it?”
Princess Hilna, already tempted, looked at Kailun and asked.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t learned her lesson, as Kailun said, she had nothing left to lose.
Compared to gradually fading away, it was better to play some interesting games, at least this way she could clearly feel that she was still alive.
She knew that her chances of winning were very low, but even if it was low, it couldn’t be less than one in ten thousand.
As long as there was a glimmer of possibility, she would continue the game with Kailun.
Perhaps the strange dreams gave Hilna new hope, she didn’t want to be Kailun’s puppet, didn’t want to be controlled by him all the time.
She could still barely teach Phils some useful things now, but when the day came when she was useless, wouldn’t she become a mere tool for venting?
This was the ending Hilna couldn’t accept the most.
“Let me think, let Isabella keep it. Although she is my ally, she is generally neutral, you have interacted with her, you should be able to trust her. How about it? If you have no objections, write down your respective requests.”
Kailun said as he pushed the paper and pen on the table to Hilna.
“I have no objections, but you haven’t said what we are betting on specifically, how to judge who wins or loses.” Hilna asked after glancing at the paper and pen on the table.
Kailun: “Didn’t you just say that when those ninth-ranks come to their senses, they will definitely break the illusion of the Kingdom of Xiya? Then let’s bet on whether they can break this illusion within a month.”
“Isn’t a month too short?” Hilna hesitated.
“A month is too short? They have ninth-ranks, you know, don’t tell me that the princess doesn’t even have this much confidence?”
Kailun frowned slightly. What he cared about wasn’t that he would lose if the time was extended, but that if the time was extended, his harvest time would also be extended.
If the time dragged on, he might forget about it one day.
“A month… I can agree to you, I just hope you can keep your promise.” After hesitating for a while, Hilna finally nodded, she could see the casualness in Kailun’s eyes.
She regarded this as a new possibility, but for Kailun, it was just a casual game.
Taking the paper and pen, Hilna covered the paper with one hand and wrote with the other.
After hurriedly writing two lines of small words, Hilna quickly folded the paper to prevent Kailun from seeing it. However, when she raised her head, she found that Kailun had already written down his request, and had only casually flipped the blank paper over.
This casual attitude made her unhappy. Just as she showed displeasure, she felt an itch between her legs, it was obviously Kailun’s foot doing mischief.
Helplessly, she could only press Kailun’s foot with her hand to prevent him from misbehaving.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t cared about you for several days, wouldn’t the princess feel lonely?” Kailun teased her sensitive spot with his toes subtly.
Hilna’s face flushed slightly: “I don’t have such worldly desires, don’t lump me in with you.”
“That’s great, my beautiful princess is so pure and innocent, but I just like to bully you who are pure and innocent. The cleaner you are, the more I want to make you dirty, until you are completely corrupted. But let’s forget about being as extreme as Chrissy, one plush ball is enough.”
Kailun cast a provocative look at Hilna. Under her puzzled gaze, he ordered:
“It just so happens that I have worldly desires, so crawl under the table and serve me now. Remember to drink it all this time, okay?”
Hearing this, a panicked look appeared on Hilna’s face: “Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? Many people will see us here.”
They were in the pavilion in the middle of the small lake. Because girls often played here, Kailun had someone put a round table and a few chairs here.
This place was open on all sides, with almost no cover.
However, the pavilion was some distance away from the shore, and people in the distance couldn’t see clearly what was happening here.
Moreover, there were only women in Kailun’s backyard, the largest number naturally being the young and pretty maids. However, at this moment, only a few dancers were playing and swimming in the lake, their figures, occasionally leaping out of the water, were fair and alluring.
They already regarded Kailun as their true master, so even if they felt his gaze, they wouldn’t shyly hide underwater.
On the contrary, they would even stand up and show off their bodies to Kailun, hoping to be favored by him.
They were more realistic and sincere in their expressions, this kind of unpretentious attitude deserved praise.
Kailun was glad that he had taken them back from Isabella. No matter what, their dancing was quite good, and their handling of intelligence was a bonus.
And he was the only male they had ever come into contact with, so they wouldn’t feel any psychological discomfort.
This had to be praised for the Loya Ball, they understood men.
Of course, not everyone had this kind of strange possessiveness. For example, the Second Prince liked experienced women, Duke Pit liked married women, and Harry liked pretty boys.
Everyone’s hobbies were different, Kailun had a strong possessiveness.
Moving his gaze from the dancers’ bodies back to Hilna, who was even more beautiful, Kailun smiled and said, “It’s okay, no one can see you under the table, right?”
Kailun retracted his foot and urged Hilna to make a decision with his eyes.
“Can we not do it here? We can go back to the room, as long as it’s not here, I can satisfy more of your requests.”
Hilna’s momentum weakened, she had been bullied by Kailun many times, and she wasn’t very resistant to being intimate with him.
What she cared about was the eyes of others, if others saw her, the dignified princess…
She glanced down under the table, because of the cover of the pavilion’s pillars and the table, others probably couldn’t see.
“You can refuse me, but the consequence of doing so is that I will actively press you on the table, so you can choose one.” Kailun fiddled with the paper in front of him and smiled.
Kailun was unwilling to give up the pleasure of bullying Hilna. Anna went to deal with the accounts with Ella today, the latter’s favorability had been brushed from -20 to 20.
Anna had already told Kailun about Ella’s evil plan, and Kailun had bullied Ella hard for several hours because of this.
Afra was still training the little knights, Phils was busy with the tasks Kailun had assigned, so the only person he could bully was Hilna.
At this time, Kailun couldn’t help but think about whether he should bring Little Princess Vivian along. After all, putting the two sisters together would always produce wonderful reactions.
“I understand…”
Hilna forced down her shame and shrank under the table, then she slowly crawled towards Kailun until she poked her head out from under the table.
Grabbing her fiery red hair with one hand, Kailun enjoyed the rich expressions on her face.
[Your rough actions made Hilna disgusted, but mental pollution offset her disgust. Favorability unchanged.]
Half an hour later, while listening to the gurgling sound, Kailun opened the note Hilna had written her bet on and read softly: “My bet is to make Kailun my dog, wagging his tail at me every day and barking.”
After reading Hilna’s request, Kailun touched her head and commented: “You’re just like Vivian, you both like to keep dogs. This is not a good habit, because you are the little doggy, you know?”
[Your actions once again shattered Hilna’s newly built pride, she hates your deception. Favorability -5, Total favorability -85]
He said he wouldn’t look, but Kailun still looked, he was a liar!
The sad Hilna bit down hard with her teeth, but all she could bring Kailun was endless sourness. If she had little canine teeth, Kailun would be even more satisfied.
Hilna’s resistance was just humiliating herself, it didn’t take long for Kailun to feed her again.
[Hilna was filled with mental pollution. Favorability +10, Total favorability -75]
After going back and forth, Hilna’s favorability didn’t decrease but increased, the only price was that she might not be able to eat lunch.
Kailun touched her hair while contemplating life.
He had been back in the Kingdom of Xiya for several days. Since the Temple of the Heavenly God hadn’t started a war, he could only contact the Fox Spirit in advance.
He didn’t know if the previous method would still work, but no matter what, he would try it first. He planned to set off after lunch.
To be safe, he would bring Afra along.
Because of his gift, Afra already had top-tier eighth-rank attributes. If he transferred his own attributes to Afra, then she would have double the attributes and be able to truly rival a ninth-rank.
For now, Afra was one of his hidden trump cards.
……
In the main hall of the Rose Kingdom, the Rose Queen was once again discussing their next plan with the ministers and nobles.
“I heard that Duke Pit has already contacted a supplier of magic crystals, is this true?”
The Rose Queen, sitting high on the throne, lowered her head slightly and scanned the crowd in the hall, her gaze finally landing on Duke Pit.
“Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have already contacted reliable people to provide a stable supply of magic crystals. Although I paid a high price in the process, as long as it’s for the benefit of the kingdom, it’s worth it, I am willing to dedicate everything to Your Majesty.”
Duke Pit bowed with a smile, his face filled with uncontainable joy.
He naturally felt the displeased gazes of the other nobles, but he didn’t care. As long as he could get close to the Rose Queen, he was making a profit.
He secretly glanced at the Rose Queen on the throne out of the corner of his eye, she was so intellectual and beautiful.
In Duke Pit’s eyes, the Rose Queen was the perfect married woman, her existence perfectly satisfied his understanding of this term.
Especially when he heard that the former king was about to die of illness, he was even happier.
“Very good, if you handle this matter well, I can give you a certain reward, either territory or gold coins. You should know that the resistance of the Madden and Kaz Kingdoms has become tenacious recently, our offensive has been blocked everywhere, and the magic crystals stored in the treasury are about to be exhausted.”
The Rose Queen reminded him briefly.
Originally, they planned to take down the Madden and Kaz Kingdoms within a month, but now it seemed that it was impossible.
The Rose Kingdom was now bogged down in the quagmire of war, with tight funds, scarce resources, insufficient troops, and lack of firepower… These were the current difficulties the Rose Kingdom was facing.
And all these difficulties were related to a person named Kailun. If it weren’t for Kailun’s appearance, she would have easily conquered the capitals of the two countries by now.
What she never expected was that while she was still fighting hard, Kailun had already defeated the Temple of the Heavenly God and captured the Kingdom of Malaga, the whole process only took a week.
Compared to him, the Rose Queen even doubted her own life.
“Your Majesty, please rest assured, if I can’t deliver, you can take back my territory and rights.” When Duke Pit said this, he confidently thought that the Rose Queen would refuse.
After all, he had contributed so much to the Rose Kingdom, even if he didn’t have any merit, he still had hard work.
“Okay, since Duke Pit has such great determination, I naturally have to trust you completely.”
The Rose Queen smiled: “Everyone, listen carefully, Duke Pit has made such a promise, you must supervise him well and never let him slack off.”
The Rose Queen had a charming smile on her face, making it difficult to tell whether she was joking or being serious.
Duke Pit: “Your Majesty, actually I…”
Seeing the Rose Queen’s smile, Duke Pit’s heart tightened, he quickly tried to explain, but the surrounding nobles chose to kick him while he was down and congratulated him one after another.
“Duke Pit, you really have good methods, we are so envious, but we are not capable enough, we can only watch you accomplish this great task.”
“Yes, yes, Duke Pit must keep his word. You said before that you would use one million gold coins to buy how many supplies? Oh, one and a half million!”
“That’s right, it’s one and a half million, Duke Pit, you have to work hard.”
“….”
Duke Pit: “….”
He had too many enemies, it was a bit overwhelming.
Looking at the Rose Queen on the throne, he wondered if she did it on purpose.
But it didn’t matter, wasn’t this fiery personality a plus?
To take it a step further, Duke Pit smiled confidently: “Your Majesty, please rest assured, this is just a piece of cake for me.”
He had already thought about it, if the magic crystals provided by Earl Laurist couldn’t meet his needs, then he would target these nobles around him.
Anyway, they didn’t have a good relationship, it wouldn’t be a big problem if he took a little, just treat it as getting rid of potential opponents.
Duke Pit was very skilled at this kind of thing, after all, this was how he had survived all these years.
“Hmm, good awareness, then let’s move on to the next topic, how should we defend against the Kingdom of Xiya’s attack in ten days? According to the situation on the front line, it will take us at least another month to conquer the Madden and Kaz Kingdoms. During this time, we can’t defend against the Kingdom of Xiya’s attack from the rear. Unless we give up the external offensive, but this is not realistic, is it?”
The Rose Queen laid out the current predicament on the table, the Kingdom of Xiya had become her biggest worry.
Withdrawing troops to defend meant that the war during this period was in vain, the national strength was wasted, and the subsequent decline was foreseeable.
But if they continued the war, how could they defend against the Kingdom of Xiya’s attack?
A hint of regret appeared in the Rose Queen’s heart.
Before, she thought that a one-month peace treaty was too long, now she thought that this one-month peace treaty was too short.
People were fickle, and so was she.
Hearing this, a noble who was also a duke hesitated for a moment and stood up and said: “I am willing to share Your Majesty’s worries, in order to solve the kingdom’s difficulties, I am willing to contribute five thousand private soldiers to defend the rear.”
With one noble taking a stand, the other nobles were put on the spot. The cruel involution forced them to make a choice.
In order to not leave a bad impression in front of the Rose Queen, the nobles expressed their stance one after another.
“I am willing to contribute three thousand private soldiers.”
“I am willing to contribute one thousand mages.”
“I am willing to contribute five hundred knights.”
“….”
Bit by bit, they quickly gathered more than thirty thousand troops, which should be enough to defend the city, it could only solve the immediate problem.
After all the nobles had expressed their stance, Duke Pit stepped forward: “I am willing to contribute fifteen thousand private soldiers to share Your Majesty’s worries.”
‘Damn involution dog!’
Hearing Duke Pit’s words, everyone cursed him in their hearts.
“Thank you all for your contributions to the country, we will reward you for your merits when everything is settled. If there is nothing else, you may all leave.”
When she said these words, the Rose Queen glanced at Duke Pit, there was no praise in her eyes, but pity.
“Your Majesty, I discovered a special situation. In our investigation, the Madden and Kaz Kingdoms transported a large amount of supplies and gold coins to the Kingdom of Xiya. Unfortunately, our investigation was a step too late, they have already successfully entered the Kingdom of Xiya. According to my investigation, the changes in the Madden and Kaz Kingdoms are likely related to the Kingdom of Xiya.”
An old minister spoke after the nobles had finished speaking, he looked at the Rose Queen on the throne with a worried expression and continued:
“This is clearly a scheme by that Kailun, he wants to be the fisherman who benefits from the troubled waters. Your Majesty must be extremely vigilant, this Kailun is not simple at all, as far as I know, even the Temple of the Heavenly God was defeated by him, and in the end, they could only spend money to redeem the Saint.”
Hearing the name Kailun, the Rose Queen was silent for a moment. “You all go down first, as for this Kailun, I will study him carefully. If he wants to benefit from this, he must pay a heavy price. After I solve the matter at hand, I will definitely come back and crush his Kingdom of Xiya.”
As she spoke, the Rose Queen’s disgust for Kailun increased a bit.
[The Rose Queen hates your insidiousness. Favorability -5, Total favorability -65]
……
“What?! One gold coin can only buy ninety-five ordinary magic crystals? With such a high price, why don’t you just rob me?”
“You said this is the price everywhere, how come I don’t know? In the Kingdom of Xiya, it’s clearly one gold coin for one hundred magic crystals, don’t try to fool me.”
“Are your magic crystals made of gold or something?”
Dean Edlin was furious when she heard the chamber of commerce shopkeeper’s outrageous offer. This was a direct loss of 5%, who could stand it?
In terms of profit, it was a 50% reduction, which meant that the other party’s asking price made her lose two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.
It was already considered restrained that Edlin didn’t immediately chop the other party down after hearing this offer.
“I’m sorry, this is the national unified price. As far as I know, the price in the neighboring kingdom is even higher. If you can’t accept it, then please go somewhere else.”
The chamber of commerce president in front of Edlin was a middle-aged woman. If it weren’t for the fact that Edlin had two seventh-rank knights with her, she would have already kicked her out.
In her opinion, her price was still too low. The neighboring kingdom was already at 1:92, if she didn’t raise the price, it would be against heaven’s will.
Edlin, in her girl form, put her hands on her hips and said: “How could the neighboring kingdom be more expensive than your price? Don’t lie to me.”
“Master Edlin, she’s telling the truth.” The deputy commander, feeling a little embarrassed, quickly stepped forward and pulled Edlin’s sleeve, whispering:
“According to the information we received, the exchange rates in the next few kingdoms we are going to are: 1:90, 1:85, 1:83. If you don’t believe it, you can see the magic letters we just received with your own eyes.”
According to the information they received, the further away the kingdom was from the Kingdom of Xiya, the higher the price. When they arrived later, the price would probably be even higher. The current price was already the lowest they could get.
The deputy commander’s words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering Edlin’s heart. She quickly grabbed the deputy commander’s arm and said, “Are you sure you’re not lying to me? You’re joking, right?”
The deputy commander shook her head: “Sorry, this is the information we just received. The price of magic crystals is soaring, if you want to buy them, you have to do it soon.”
“Oh right, how many magic crystals do you have left?” The deputy commander’s words reminded Edlin, she quickly looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her.
“About eighty million, I wonder how much this customer needs?” The middle-aged woman smiled professionally.
Edlin: “…”
Eighty million magic crystals meant only a few hundred thousand gold coins, then she would have to go to other kingdoms to buy the rest at a high price.
No matter how she looked at it, it was a huge loss, let alone making a profit, she estimated that she would lose hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
“Ouch, my stomach hurts, I have to go out to take care of it!” Edlin had a sudden idea and clutched her stomach, running outside.
However, the two seventh-rank deputy commanders immediately pressed Edlin’s shoulders. “Where do you want to go, Master Edlin? Don’t forget that Young Master Kailun signed a contract with you, you should be very clear about the consequences of breaking the contract.”
To prevent Edlin from running away or doing something stupid, Kailun arranged for two deputy commanders of the Silver Moon Knights.
They were there to protect the gold coins, and also to “protect” Edlin.
Edlin’s face fell: “Oh right, I signed a contract, tell me honestly, did Kailun already know that the price of magic crystals was going up?”
“Master Edlin, don’t overthink it, Young Master Kailun didn’t know that the price of magic crystals was going up, have you forgotten that the magic crystals in the Kingdom of Xiya are only 1:100?”
Edlin: “Ugh, just kill me, I don’t want to live anymore, the thought of owing hundreds of thousands of gold coins makes me want to bang my head against the wall.”
The deputy commander patted Edlin’s shoulder and said, “Master Edlin, look on the bright side, maybe the gold coins you owe are more than a million.”
Edlin: “…”
The person who she originally thought was kind and like a grandmother only knew how to stab her in the heart.
Now Edlin could only pin her hopes on Kailun, she didn’t know how many gold coins her beauty was worth.
Melancholy, sadness, and discomfort.
She had to dress up well, so that she could sell herself to Kailun, this big sucker, at a very high price.
With Kailun’s lecherousness, it wouldn’t be excessive to charge him a million gold coins, right?
Thinking of her sadness, Edlin directly waved her hand: “Bring out all your magic crystals, this master will take them all!”
Even though she had already lost everything, she still had to continue buying magic crystals for Kailun, what kind of torture was this?
