Chapter 542: Chapter 234 My Trump Card is You_2

"He rarely takes action, right?"

"Mother’s orders."

Wayne: (╯°□°)╯︵┻━┻

What’s going on, are these two playing dumb, pretending all this time?

No way, the prince actually has such a brain!

Just as Wayne was marveling at the extraordinary royal bloodline, suspecting the prince might be Austin’s own son, the dynamic between the betrothed couple shifted dramatically, and they started acting all lovey-dovey out of nowhere.

"Bastard, your so-called ’controlling the Devil’ was just you sleeping with the Devil?"

"Baby, don’t jump to conclusions. You saw it yourself just now, the Devil isn’t Sander, it’s Mayor Angelo!"

"Don’t think I don’t understand anything. Today’s Devil is Angelo, but it wasn’t like that before; it has always been Sander. That’s exactly why you were entwined with her for nearly a month."

"I didn’t want to! I pretended to be seduced by her to control the Devil. In reality, every time I was with her, all I could think about was you."

"Heh."

"Baby, believe me, sleeping was just a means, not the end. I had no choice."

"Okay, okay, okay, that’s how we’re playing it, huh? Someday I’ll also find a Devil, no, a whole group of Devils, and since I’ll have no choice, I’ll sleep with all of them."

Sister-in-law, please don’t! I’m still a child!

Listening to their conversation, Wayne pieced together the storyline and guessed the general situation.

Firstly, Edward is not useless at all. In a position inferior to Princess Elizabeth in many aspects, he chose to conceal his talents and pretend to be a lecherous good-for-nothing, getting Elizabeth to let her guard down.

Secondly, the lecherous persona wasn’t just an act, it was true to his nature.

The moment he saw Sander, Edward was tempted, staying true to his lecherous nature, he successfully wound up in Sander’s bed.

It was meant to be just for fun, but, to his great surprise, while sleeping with her, he discovered that the beauty beside him was not a human, but the Hell Devil Juliet whom the Magic Department had been searching for.

Juliet had a clear objective; to get close to the prince, sleep with him, and enslave him with a trifecta move. Because of certain magic defense the royal family members possessed, she had not succeeded.

Edward relied on his backing, attempting to control Juliet, but after trying various methods, he ended up failing each time.

In his dilemma, Edward had no choice but to seek help from the Queen, his mother, which is why Celeste was summoned.

As for Princess Elizabeth...

Wayne didn’t quite understand her. If it were him, in a situation where the head of the family made the decision, he would simply choose not to act.

He wouldn’t just stay passive; he’d also offer enthusiastic help to show his magnanimity.

Elizabeth seemed a bit impatient, but it was understandable. Anyone who had always seen their opponent as a fool would feel thrown off to suddenly discover that the fool was deep and cunning, and they’d scramble to beat him down with a stick.

If you’re a fool for one day, you’re a fool for life. Try to rise up, and your legs get broken!

This tit-for-tat ended with the prince failing to control the Devil, not earning high marks with the Queen, and the princess revealing a petty mind, leading to a slight drop in her score.

Overall, the princess still scored higher than the prince.

After Wayne sorted out the cause and effect, he secretly communicated to Mona that they could only use a third of their power, the Legendary Mage named Celeste was from the Magic Department, and this was an infight among the royal heirs, so they should not get involved.

Mona immediately communicated back that Celeste’s faith in the Holy Light was too pure, and he couldn’t possibly be a Liberty Mage from the Magic Department.

Wayne didn’t say anything. He wasn’t an Angel yet, but still, he had passed the test of the Golden Rule, right?

Faith can be tricky; it’s not as sacred and inviolable as Mona imagined.

Setting aside his own example, Wayne cited Flora.

The former Holy Maiden was a genuine wicked woman, full of desire for power, and for the sake of power, she didn’t hesitate to plan the murder of her superior, orchestrating a plot to use someone else’s hand to commit the deed.

And what happened? The Nature Goddess didn’t care at all, remaining lofty and unmoved.

Take the Pope as another example, despising Angels yet coveting their power, he presented a pure nun, attempting to kidnap an Angel’s child.

The Heavenly Father knows everything, but He doesn’t care either. He just watches and says nothing.

Speaking of the Heavenly Father’s Court, it has too many dark histories; witches burned at the stake, young boys possessed by Devils, and those indulgences.

Has the Heavenly Father ever said anything?

No, nothing at all.

Wayne sat quietly pretending to be a skull hiding in the bushes, waiting for the fight to end.

The Devil once again proved it was only fit to be a joke; three Familiars and not one that could fight. They’ve been away from the human world for too long and can hardly keep up with the latest tricks and cunning.

Boom!!!

Dark thunder split open the sky, swift thunder serpents followed the black curtains, interrupting the chains of Holy Light and getting the Inverted Pentagram spinning again.

Red light bathed the castle and its lands; the scent of blood spread in all directions, and the Elemental Devil grew stronger in the crimson glow. Her full pleated skirt at the bottom transformed into eight black spider legs, and her aura surged.

Mona urgently communicated with Wayne that there was something wrong with Sander on the top floor of the castle; she was accommodating too much dark energy.

Mona requested to transform and use the Heaven Holy Spear.

No way, could the Devil turn the tables?

Wayne marveled. This Devil, hidden until the end, indeed had more skills than the first two.

It was time for the Death Knight to make a move.

Click!

A Spatial Fissure exploded, and Celeste landed with a gray and dusty face, half of his white robe burnt to a crisp; his purplish-black face was veined, looking like he was severely poisoned.

The Legendary Mage from the Magic Department was getting worse.

Wayne silently shook his head. It seemed he had to step in tonight.

Looking back at Celeste’s opponent, the Spider Demoness looked seductive, with a full and pale upper female body. Her long black hair cascaded down. Ignoring the grotesque spider body at the bottom, she was quite the spectacle.
