Chapter 1044: Chapter 829, The Sly Puppet (One more chapter today.)_3 Chapter 1044: Chapter 829, The Sly Puppet (One more chapter today.)_3 He rose to his feet, intending to go back to rest.
Seeing him rise, the princess's body trembled, and she lowered her head, her fingers tightly clutching the bed covers.
After a while, hearing footsteps walk to the door, she finally lifted her head to look.
Wu Heng said, “Rest well, I'll sleep in the next room.”
“You're going to the next room?”
Wu Heng looked at her, counter-asking, “Are you ready?”
“I'm not, not ready!”
She was well aware of what ultimately happens when a man and a woman sign a Slavery Contract.
She had been mentally preparing herself for over a day.
Especially since she could not harbor any ill will towards her master, it was all a matter of time.
“Then prepare yourself, get some rest early,” Wu Heng opened the door and walked straight out.
The princess also approached the door, listening as he opened the room next door and then entered.
Her heart still pounded loudly at this moment.
The person with whom she had signed the contract didn't seem as cruel as she had imagined.
Buzz buzz buzz~!
The piercing roar of an engine shattered the quiet night.
Under the silver moonlight, a black motorcycle sped by, stopping in front of an ancient house.
Lilith, in a black leather jacket and black boots, took off her helmet and tossed back her unruly long hair.
She hung the helmet on the handlebars and stepped directly into the ancient house.
Ding-ling-ling~!
The door opened and a pleasant bell sound chimed.
Then came a wooden scent wafting towards her.
Tap tap~!
Footsteps sounded, echoing from the wooden stairs connecting to the upper floor.
A dwarf wearing a monacle slowly walked down, giving a respectful bow, “Commander Lilith.”
Saying this, he snapped his fingers lightly.
An eight-legged round table crawled over from a distance, followed by stiffly moving puppets, bringing tea cups and pastries to the table.
Lilith nodded and said, “Is the item I ordered ready?”
“Of course!” The dwarf brought out a huge gift box, placed it on the table, and unveiled the black satin to reveal a delicately featured doll inside.
“The custom good you ordered, I've put my heart into, it can certainly meet all your requirements, including hosting a Ghost.”
The dwarf said, speaking somewhat crazily.
Clang~!
Lilith carelessly tossed a bag of Gold Coins and collected the gift box, “I hope it's as successful as you claim.”
“My reputation isn't bad enough to dare deceive Commander Lilith,” the dwarf hurried his steps to follow her, as a large group of puppets also clattered noisily out.
He continued, “Commander, I'm not sure if the vehicle parked outside is a Special Item or the latest prop. Would it be convenient to let me study it? It appears very uniquely constructed.”
“I'll introduce you to the maker if there's a chance.”
Lilith walked out of the ancient house without turning back.
Under the gaze of the dwarf and various peculiar puppets, she put on her helmet and straddled the motorcycle.
Buzz~!
After a humming sound, the motorcycle sped off.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the night.
Two days later.
In the council hall.
The managing minister and the Commander rushed over.
The Commander said, “Your Highness, the soldier sent to Nilar City to relay information has returned.”
“How is it there?” Wu Heng asked.
The Commander's brow was tightly furrowed, his expression severe, “On the day of your departure, three level-18 professionals led the army out of the city to chase the enemy and haven't returned yet. The level-18 professional left to oversee the city also left the next day under the pretext of having business elsewhere, and all valuables from his residence were moved out.”
Wu Heng's eyes sharpened, first in surprise, followed by anger and fear.
His voice trembled, “How could this happen!”
The three who left the city were thrown into the jail.
The remaining one, probably afraid, had fled directly.
The managing minister immediately said, “Your Highness, don't worry yet, we need to stay calm to find a solution.”
Wu Heng took a deep breath and sat back down.
The Commander continued, “Your Highness, there is another piece of news, Lundham City's Messenger has arrived and has been arranged to stay at an inn in Nilar City.”
