Who Says All Saints Need To Be Good?

Chapter 115: Deal 2

"And how would you achieve that? You're aware that the palace knights are quite skilled at detecting lower-level demons," Aurianna inquired, gazing at Mike.

"Actually, Mike is a half-human, half-demon, so he should be able to bypass their detection defenses and enter your mansion posing as a servant. I hope you'll treat him well," Vatium disclosed, surprising Aurianna with his revelation.

"A rare breed. No wonder many of them were successful in infiltrating Sandeph in the past," Aurianna nodded thoughtfully.

"As long as he doesn't do anything foolish, he'll be fine," Aurianna assured Vatium.

"Are you sure? I heard that you enjoy punishing your servants. I'm really frightened to stay with her, Master Vatium!" Mike said, feigning tears and using a handkerchief to wipe his face.

Aurianna clicked her tongue in annoyance and clarified, "I only deal with annoying fools who can't follow simple rules. So if you obey all my rules, you'll be fine."

"If you say so, Princess," Mike brightened up, and Aurianna rolled her eyes.

"So, how do you plan to convince King Girsal to let you lead the battle?" Vatium asked curiously.

Aurianna pondered intensely upon hearing Vatium's question, and suddenly an idea struck her. She grinned and said, "That's also a secret, dear brother." Her eerie smile sent shivers down the spines of everyone watching her. "Now, shall we discuss further how this operation will be carried out?"

After three hours, Aurianna hopped off the orc express carriage, clutching a satchel and sporting a beautiful necklace around her neck.

"I better find Yui and Jake," she murmured as she strolled through the bustling market. All around, shop vendors were energetically shouting out their wares and prices to attract customers. Kids were zipping down the street in a playful race, and the general atmosphere was one of enjoyment.

Eventually, she spotted Yui engrossed in something, and Aurianna couldn't help but cringe at what she found. On stage, some hunky orc men were flexing their muscles, captivating both women and men in the audience.

Aurianna frowned even more as she noticed Yui tossing gold coins at the performers, tears of joy streaming down her face. Curious, she examined the orc men and found their appearance rather intriguing. They weren't all that different from humans, just bigger bodies, green skin, and larger teeth.

"I guess admiring muscles isn't such a bad thing after all," Aurianna chuckled.

One of the muscular orcs approached her and asked, "Would you like to feel my muscles?" Some envious ladies were about to protest, but when they saw the orc addressing Aurianna, they quickly backed off, pale as ghosts.

Eager to see what those muscles felt like, Aurianna nodded, and the orc man proudly extended his arm. *squishy* squishy *squishy* She took the opportunity to squish and feel his muscles, the tension in her expression easing as she did so. After a few moments, she noticed Yui giving her a cheeky smile, which made her frown. Aware of the surprised looks around her, she let go of the orc's arm and blushed slightly.

"You've got an impressive form," she complimented him, slipping a gold coin into his hand. She then grabbed Yui, who protested and pleaded for them to stay, but Aurianna hurriedly walked away, ignoring her maid's pleas.

After a long day at the market, Aurianna enjoyed a quiet bath, deep in thought about her discussion with Vatium.

"Haha, today has been exhausting," Aurianna sighed, collapsing onto her bed wearing her comfy pajamas.

"Good night, Princess," the five maids chimed in unison before leaving her chambers.
