Chapter 291: Courtesy and Decency
“…”
Hearing this answer, Jess was completely dumbfounded. These two guys actually wanted to look for the elven queen?
What were they trying to do?
Subconsciously, the young elf soldier thought of what had happened a while ago — the assassination of the elven princess.
All of a sudden, the elf soldier became nervous. Could it be that these two guys were the assassins!
Mike seemed to see through Jess’s worries and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, we’re not looking for the elf queen to do anything bad. We’re just looking for her to help us.
“Moreover, we weren’t the ones who tried to assassinate Veronica Sabrina.”
‘Although I was the one who sent them, I wasn’t the one who did it.’ Mike secretly added in his heart. Of course, Jess could not hear him.
Jess looked at Mike’s eyes intently, staring at the man as if he wanted to look for Mike’s true intentions. However, Jess, who did not have any special abilities and could not see past anything.
He nodded seriously and said, “If you’re just looking for the elven queen’s help, then there’s no problem.
“But let me be clear. If the elven queen isn’t willing to help you, please don’t start anything.
“Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to defend my people.”
Jess glared at Mike as if threatening him, and then took the initiative to lead the way. Mike, who was behind Jess, could not help but smile.
Under such circumstances, Ulysses Sabrina had no reason to reject him, nor did she have any right to reject him.
…
Ulysses Sabrina sat in the meeting room with a frown on her face. The meeting room was empty. There was no one in it except for her. The reason why no one came was that no one dared to disturb her now.
She had just negotiated and promised various compensation. Although the elves outside did not know about this, almost everyone in the mansion knew about it.
From the expressions of the two human messengers, it could be seen that they had gained a great deal from the negotiation.
The elven queen must be in a bad mood… so all the servants dared not interrupt her.
However, what everyone did not know was that Ulysses Sabrina was completely not thinking about the content of the negotiation just now.
She was thinking about something else — her newfound power!
After experiencing such a failed war, the elven people needed to quickly gather their passion! Although the war was started by her mother, and that she took over the position of elven queen, as long as the war failed, she would be inevitably responsible for the losses.
Therefore, she urgently needed to do something to stabilize her position as queen. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m
What should she do?
Ulysses Sabrina’s eyes subconsciously looked towards the north direction, once again. According to what she knew, that was the new territory of the centaurs.
The Soul Stone!
Ulysses Sabrina narrowed her eyes slightly. She could not stop herself from thinking of snatching the Soul Stone. However, she was afraid of the restrictions of the contract.
She knew very well that once she broke the contract, something bad would happen. So much so that her life would be hard to keep.
Thinking of this, Ulysses Sabrina’s brows furrowed once more. A situation like this made her feel frustrated.
While she ruminated in her thoughts, there was a knock on the door.
“Your Majesty, there are two humans outside who want to see you.”
The servant’s voice came from the corridor, interrupting Ulysses Sabrina’s thoughts.
She frowned slightly, “Two humans? Who?”
The servant hesitated for a moment and said, “One of them is a human who came here once, and the other is a strange face. I’ve never seen him before.”
A human who came here just now?
Ulysses Sabrina was slightly stunned at first, but she quickly reacted.
The servant should be referring to one of the two people, Timus or Gilroy. As for who the other person was, she was not sure.
They had just left here not long ago. Why did they suddenly want to come back?
Ulysses Sabrina felt a trace of doubt and frustration in her heart. However, she was unable to reject their request to meet. It was very simple. It was because of her strength. Ulysses Sabrina was very clear that if they were to really fight, she would most likely be defeated by Timus.
If she had the strength, she would not have to promise so much compensation just now.
“Let them in.”
Ulysses Sabrina felt helpless, but the tone of her voice was very calm, and no one could detect the faintest of emotions. However, her desire for power was growing. She knew that if she was strong enough, she would not have to be so timid and afraid.
Soul Stone… Ulysses Sabrina’s eyes revealed a hint of greed as she thought about it.
However, this unnoticeable look disappeared the moment the door of the meeting room was pushed open.
When Timus and Mike appeared in front of her, her expression had already returned to normal.
“I remember that your name is Timus, right? Why did you come back?
“Don’t tell me you want to go back on the terms we agreed on just now?”
Ulysses Sabrina said expressionlessly. Even though her personal strength was inferior to Timus, she still had to show her attitude. This was the pride and responsibility of being a queen.
When Timus heard this, he chuckled, as if he did not care about Ulysses Sabrina’s tone. Before this, he was here to negotiate, representing the entire human race, so he definitely could not show weakness where he should be strong.
However, now, it was different.
He was here in his own name, so Timus showed his most authentic side.
He grinned and pointed at Mike, “Of course I’m not here to go back on my word. I just want to ask you for a favor. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋n૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com
“You should know about this, right?”
After saying that, Timus grabbed the corner of Mike’s shirt and lifted it up.
All of a sudden, the lifted shirt covered Mike’s face, revealing the tender bud on his chest.
“… Please let me do the lifting of the shirt myself…” Mike was speechless.
Ulysses Sabrina on the other hand, was slightly stunned when she saw the tender bud on Mike’s chest. Her eyes were filled with shock.
“He’s…”
Ulysses Sabrina could not finish the second half of the sentence, this was because she had clearly said in the negotiation that the murderer of her sister had been caught and killed by them.
Although everyone knew that this was just a lie, since the lie had been said, she could not go back on it.
It should be courteous of her to not lie.
It was up to her to honor the lie.
Ulysses Sabrina looked at it with a complicated gaze and said, “You want me to help you get rid of it, right?”
