Chapter 87 Sheryl's Conspiracy (2)
"what do you want?"
After hearing the explanation, Lucius' eyes sparkled with excitement.
Level 11 puppets are extremely rare in the elementary school, let alone the secondary school, not to mention the evil dragon with a racial rarity of A+.
But Lucius was unexpectedly cautious. He did not reach out for the puppet ball, but narrowed his eyes and asked Cheryl's intentions.
"In fact, the vixen my father married recently wanted to make her child the next head of the Earl Guy family, and my father was also very obsessed with her."
Cheryl smiled and pretended to be troubled.
"Although I am indeed a strong candidate for the next Earl Guy, no one knows when this position will be lost. After all, I am studying abroad now and I am not even at home.
Don’t you think it’s more reassuring to hold something in your hands than to just look at it from afar?”
She said.
"Do you want to usurp the position of the head of the family and ask the Holwar family to help?"
Lucius confirmed with a somewhat sinister expression.
"If possible, I would feel more at ease if not only Viscount Holwar's family, but also the Viscount and Baron families who have a good relationship with your family could provide help.
After all, the Viscount Cordevre family that the vixen married into also wanted to make the dead kid under her inherit the Earl Guy family in order to gain benefits."
"Since you already have such a powerful puppet, why don't you just solve the problem yourself? You actually gave these treasures to me. What on earth are you planning?"
(This guy, surprisingly, is not a complete idiot.)
Cheryl felt a little emotional in her heart.
But in her heart, Lucius's evaluation did not improve because of this.
"If possible, I would also like to obtain the position of the head of the family with my own hands. But in this world, not everything can be solved by violence, right?"
Sheryl explained with a smile.
“If I use violence to gain the position of the head of the family, it will definitely leave a lot of room for criticism, and it may even be manipulated by people with ulterior motives, leading to a position that the royal family does not recognize.
By then, even if I get rid of that female vixen and the Viscount Cordevre family behind her, it will only make my other brothers happy, right?"
"I heard that you are a very talented person, and you are really cunning. Being able to exchange these two things for the support of our family and allies is indeed a very profitable deal."
Lucius gave a despicable smile, picked up the puppet ball and the soul-biting ring and said.
"I understand. When you need it, I will lend you the power of the Holwar family."
“I sincerely look forward to it.”
(If that day ever comes.)
Cheryl also smiled in her heart and thought contemptuously.
After handing Lucius what was due to him, Cheryl returned to the dormitory.
Seeing that it was getting late, she decided to rest as soon as possible.
However, as soon as she lay down on the bed, Sheryl thought about what happened in the practical class in the afternoon.
"I really don't understand why a boy like you would have such a strong female body odor on you..."
She couldn't help but feel ashamed when she thought of what Alfred had said.
(Really? Even if they are all boys, would someone suddenly do something weird like that? No way, absolutely impossible! And, what about body odor…)
"abnormal……"
After cursing Alfred under her breath, Cheryl climbed out of bed and headed for the bathroom.
Originally, she just wanted to take a simple shower, but Cheryl was worried that this might not wash away the feminine scent on her body, so she decided to just take a bath.
She finally stopped after washing her fair skin to the point of turning red.
"Jasmine, do I still smell like anything now?"
Cheryl asked her puppet, a little white fox with three tails.
She couldn't smell her own scent at all, so she had to put all her hopes on Jasmine, who had a keen sense of smell.
However, Jasmine didn't understand what Sheryl meant.
She just made a cute expression and tilted her head adorably.
"Well, never mind... I'll keep my distance from that guy next time."
Cheryl sighed helplessly and lay back in the bathtub.
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
Late at night, Liliana put on a cloak and climbed out of the dormitory through the window.
In front of an inconspicuous entrance door to the main castle, she took out a magic prop that looked like a compass.
The name of this item is called Space Rift Compass, which can guide the holder to the location of the nearest space rift.
As long as she only uses it, Liliana should be able to avoid entering the rift world and travel safely in the main castle.
She watched the compass move forward carefully, avoiding the space cracks it encountered along the way.
After a lot of effort, Liliana finally reached the upper floors of the main castle, an area that would no longer be affected by the space rifts.
"Huh, we're finally here. Next is... ah, I found it."
Seeing the house number she was looking for, Liliana knocked on the door excitedly.
"Who on earth is it that comes to see me at this hour?"
The one who responded to Liliana with a clear voice was a young woman - Michelle, the instructor in charge of the Noren class.
"That, that's me, Teacher Michelle."
Liliana looked around and responded as quietly as possible.
In addition to Michelle's laboratory, there are several other tutors' laboratories on this floor.
The mentors and guards who patrol at night might also pass by here.
If we get caught by them, we'll be in trouble.
"I never thought that it was you, Liliana, who came to see me. I thought it was Al who couldn't stand the loneliness, so he came to attack me at night~"
Michelle opened the door and said jokingly in a frivolous tone.
“W-what… Teacher Michelle, what on earth are you talking about? Could it be that Alta…?!”
(Could it be that Al has already attacked the instructor?! That bastard, he even didn’t let the instructor go, isn’t he too shameless?!)
Liliana was so shocked that she didn't know what to do and just stood there in a daze.
"If the patrolling instructor sees you, it will be very troublesome. If you have anything to say, please come in first. Also, I was just joking just now, don't take it seriously."
Michelle stepped aside and invited Liliana into the room.
(Is it just a joke? Well, that's fine. Well, well...)
Liliana just breathed a sigh of relief, but was stunned again when she saw the scene inside the laboratory.
