The second prince was lying on the bed, listening to Kefla's words, his expression calm.
"Miss Kefla, I don't understand what you mean."
"Do you think that I, a prince of the empire, will collude with the devil?"
Kefla put one hand on her hips and looked at the second prince with a hint of teasing.
"I can't say whether His Royal Highness is colluding with the devil, but you really should take a shower."
"The devilish smell on your body makes me feel sick."
The second prince seemed to have been reminded. He lowered his head, stretched out his arm, and brought it to his nose to smell it.
After being injured, he was recovering from illness. Within a few days, he really didn't have much chance to take a bath.
Although, his injuries have healed.
Even after being questioned like this by Kefla, the second prince's expression was already calm and he just said casually:
"Do you demon hunters have a unique way of identifying demons?"
"I have become somewhat interested in your organization."
Kefla was not surprised that the second prince could guess his identity.
After all, being able to smell the scent of demons is a demon hunter's exclusive ability.
As long as you become a demon hunter, you will be very sensitive to the scent of demons.
This is how they can track down the demon.
Kefla didn't respond, just looked at him quietly.
Under her gaze, the second prince continued to speak:
His voice seemed to have become calmer, with a bit of proud confidence in his tone.
"I know that you can't confirm whether I really have colluded with the devil."
Kefla's tone was a little more disdainful.
"So what? As long as you are still healing in my territory."
"I'll have a way to confirm."
Just as the second prince thought, Kefla could only rely on the smell to sense that the second prince did have a strong demonic aura.
But she couldn't confirm.
Because of the other party’s identity.
He is the prince of the empire.
Owesser Sauer.
Unless there is direct evidence that proves that the second prince is indeed colluding with the devil, otherwise.
Slandering the prince is a serious crime.
This will have a very serious negative impact on the empire's reputation.
The prince of a country colludes with the devil. No matter what the truth is, the empire's diplomacy will be squeezed by other countries.
The public's trust in the royal family will also be greatly impacted.
Therefore, Kefla can’t help it.
She could only find a way to confirm this while the second prince was seriously injured and stayed in the north.
But the second prince was naturally prepared and said slowly:
"First of all, you need to know that I led the army to the north just to investigate the demonic incident."
What he means is very obvious:
He led the army to the northern border, and the public was fully aware of it.
Moreover, it has been some time since he was recuperating from his injury. Even if the injury is serious, he should be fully recovered.
The Delin family has no reason to keep him here.
As the prince of the empire, he was bound to return to the royal capital.
Kefla understands this too.
At this time, the second prince's voice sounded slowly.
"If I guessed correctly, you must also be looking for the demon that appeared in the far north ice field."
"Maybe we can still cooperate."
Hearing the second prince's suggestion, Kefla frowned and looked a little confused.
"Let me give you a clue."
"Victor."
The second prince's words reached Kefla's ears. She couldn't help but narrowed her eyes and asked:
"What do you mean."
"Don't say you haven't doubted it, why did demons appear there as soon as Victor arrived in the Far North?"
Kefla crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe of the room.
"Keep talking."
The second prince smiled slightly.
"I just believed you would be interested."
He picked up the water glass next to him, took a sip, and moistened his throat.
Fortunately, the Delin family generally has a high sense of justice. Even though they were in a situation called healing but actually imprisoned, they still did not forget to prepare food and water for him.
"Obviously, Victor is very strong, unreasonably strong."
Kefla knows this very well.
She was familiar with how strong her father was, but even when Victor was approached by a knight, he was still able to defeat him.
Although she didn't know the specific details, her father had been involved in the fourth-level field for decades.
Where is Victor?
Just two months ago, he was just a third-level mage.
"Similarly, demons will sign a contract with humans and give them what they want through transactions."
"For example - power."
Having said this, the second prince gradually clenched his fists.
Kefla understood what he meant, but still shook her head slightly.
"I cannot accept your point of view. There are limits to the devil's bargain terms."
"It couldn't have made Victor a councilor out of thin air."
The second prince smiled, put down the water glass, and told a shocking news.
"That's because you don't know enough, Miss Kefla."
"You know, the original devil?"
Kefla was stunned and could only listen to the second prince's somewhat sarcastic voice as he continued:
"The so-called demons are all born from human emotions, and they will formulate the content of transactions based on human emotions."
“When a gambler loses all his wealth, he still owes millions.”
"My wife was insulted in front of her, but she could only feel helpless and angry."
"The flamboyant contempt that people show when facing mediocrity."
"Because of this, the devil can use these emotions to perfectly know what this person needs."
Every word the second prince said seemed to flash in front of Kefla.
With his wife separated and his family destroyed, the gambler stood in the dark unable to find a way forward, feeling sad and regretful.
When an unfortunate person encounters a robber who breaks into his home and sees his wife being insulted and his children being killed, he can only feel helpless anger.
Standing under the magnificent tower and watching the ordinary people coming and going, I feel arrogant and conceited.
These images seemed to have turned into thousands of threads and penetrated into Kefla's mind.
The more she listened, the more uncomfortable she felt. She could only look at the second prince with indifferent eyes to change the topic that she didn't want to talk about.
"Does this have anything to do with what you said?"
The second prince smiled slightly and got to the point.
"The purest seven demons born based on these emotions are what I said, the original demons."
"They will continue to devour these human emotions to provide for their own continuous growth."
"As long as emotions continue, they will become stronger and stronger."
Kefla listened to his story and felt confused.
Then, the second prince continued:
"Have you ever wondered why Victor became so strong?"
"You mean, Victor has a relationship with the original demon?"
Kefla suddenly asked, but the second prince just shrugged.
"You think so yourself, Miss Kefla."
"Of course, I am leading you to think this way."
Kefla narrowed her eyes and sounded a little dangerous.
"so what?"
"What good will it do to you if you target Victor like this?"
"No good."
Having said this, the second prince put away his smile and his expression became calm again.
"The Cravena family is currently at its peak, and everyone wants to make friends with their family."
"Everyone wants to know Victor."
If one party can get the support of Victor, or in other words, the support of the Cravenna family.
Then, the throne will be within easy reach.
But the father would not allow Victor to support either of their two princes, so he made Victor Aurelion's teacher.
The second prince lowered his brows and continued with a hint of cunning in his eyes:
"Although the reasons are different, we have the same purpose."
"You and I both want to find the demon."
"So why not give it a try?"
His voice seemed to be a little bewitching, faintly ringing in Kefla's ears.
"Still, the other party is Victor."
"Can't you do it?"
Kefla snorted coldly and glanced at the second prince with cold eyes.
"There is no need for you to provoke me. I will only hate filthy creatures like demons more than anyone else."
"but--"
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Two silver-white daggers broke through the air and were nailed into the bedside of the second prince.
The second prince, who was lying on the hospital bed, felt the fierce wind coming towards him without moving at all.
A burst of red flame burned in one of Kefla's eyes.
One scarlet eye seemed to swallow up the second prince completely.
"You are just as dirty."
After saying that, Kefla turned around to leave, but left behind a distant voice that entered the room.
"In a few days, your injury will be completely 'healed'."
"I will take you back to the capital intact."
Accompanied by crisp footsteps, Kefla gradually left.
Finally, Kefla's figure disappeared completely, and even the footsteps disappeared.
The second prince's whole body suddenly felt relieved.
There was a crash and cold sweat broke out.
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
That is the fear of the rest of the life.
The aura just now was very obvious.
A fourth-level demon hunter.
At some point, Kefla advanced.
The second prince understood that he was definitely no match for Kefla now.
But he didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of a demon hunter.
Even Kefla's identity was told to him by the greed hidden in his body.
Fortunately, Kefla's interest in Victor was greater than her doubts about him.
After a long time, the second prince finally recovered.
He took a deep breath, his pounding heart calmed down, and his eyes regained their clarity.
"Next, let me wait and see."
