Chapter 314

Although Alice had inadvertently brought trouble to the person she was looking for, she had also helped clear Mador of suspicion in a certain sense.

The Rhine Kingdom had most likely thought of the possibility of the demons planting a spy in their kingdom. After all, the various human kingdoms had planted their own spies in the demon realm. Among them, one had even made it into the position of a Heavenly King. So, it wouldn’t be strange for the demons to do the same. However, even if the Rhine Kingdom’s authorities realized that there might be a spy in their midst, they probably wouldn’t suspect that the female student manipulated by the Demon King would be the spy the demons have planted in the Royal Magic Tower.

Alice had to admit that the female demon named Mador had concealed herself well. At the very least, when Alice watched Mador chatting merrily with her friends, the other party looked very much like your average student. Not once did Alice stop to think that Mador might be the demon spy operating in the Royal Magic Tower.

Moreover, Frosette had previously told Alice that the demon spies operating in the various magic academies would know everything there was to know about the academies they infiltrated. This caused Alice to subconsciously exclude the people queuing up outside Magic Tower Know-It-All’s room. After all, why would a demon spy, who knew everything there was to know about the Royal Magic Tower, seek consultation with “Magic Tower Know-It-All”?!

Anyway, Mador’s information came from Frosette, Alice should have no problems finding the demon spy this time. Moreover, it was highly unlikely that Mador had defected to the Rhine Kingdom. Otherwise, Etoria, the Rhine Kingdom’s successor, should have recognized Mador. Yet, his behavior showed otherwise.

After Alice returned to the research room where the old magician and Mador occupied, she found the room empty. By the looks of it, Mador must have regained consciousness and was sent away by the old magician during the time she was consulting Frosette in the library.

How troublesome… I should have asked Frosette to give me Mador’s number.

Alice frowned. The information Frosette sent her was very detailed. Not only did it go into Mador’s origins, but it also talked about the identity Mador used to work undercover in the human realm. It even mentioned the location of Mador’s dormitory and the classes she attended in the Royal Magic Tower. The only thing it did not mention was Mador’s contact information.

However, Alice couldn’t be bothered to contact Frosette again. Since she knew where Mador was staying, she decided she might as well pay the demon spy a personal visit. As for the possibility of Mador being in a classroom, that was highly unlikely.

Evening classes should have ended already, so it was unlikely that Mador had gone to class after regaining consciousness. Moreover, Mador had her spirit influenced by a spirit taboo today. Although Alice had only used Consciousness Transformation to give Mador some simple instructions, that should have still caused Mador’s spirit to grow somewhat unstable. So, Alice guessed that the old magician had probably sent Mador back to her dormitory after the girl had regained consciousness.

…

Mador’s dormitory was situated on Floor 51’s Sector G12. The entirety of Floor 51’s Zone G was reserved for dormitories. When Alice entered this zone, she saw a large sign that said: “No Boys Allowed.” Evidently, this place was the girls’ dormitory.

The Royal Magic Tower handled its management much more strictly than the March Academy. One’s status did not matter here. So long as one studied in the Royal Magic Tower, one would have to stay in the tower’s dormitories regardless of whether one was a noble or a commoner. Although Alice didn’t know why the Royal Magic Tower was so strict even in this regard, she felt that the tower’s authorities must have their reasons.

Although Alice’s chest was barren and the upper half of her face was covered by the sun hat she wore, it was still possible for others to tell that she was a girl by her delicate limbs and the exposed lower half of her face. So, when the middle-aged woman standing guard at the dormitory’s entrance saw Alice, she let Alice pass without a word.

After successfully entering the girls’ dormitory, Alice saw many lightly dressed girls walking around in the corridor she was in. The girls here were much more open than the girls at the March Academy’s dormitory, and Alice couldn’t help but blush a little at this sight.

However, Alice quickly suppressed her shyness and located Mador’s dormitory. Then, she knocked on the door and waited.

A moment later, the door opened. However, it wasn’t Mador who had answered the door but a slightly chubby girl instead.

The Royal Magic Tower’s dormitories housed four occupants each. So, it wasn’t strange for Mador to have roommates. After looking up at the chubby girl, Alice asked:

“Excuse me, but is Mador home?”

“Hm? Mador?” The chubby girl looked at Alice curiously, wondering why a middle-schooler was looking for her roommate. However, she didn’t try to pry into the matter. Quickly, she turned around and shouted into the room, “Mador! A little girl is looking for you!”

Little girl…

Alice’s mouth twitched when she heard how the chubby girl described her. However, she didn’t try to argue with the other party. After all, her current appearance was indeed that of a little girl. It was just that she felt a little irked at being called as such. Such a situation would have never happened if she were in the March Academy since everyone there recognized her and knew about her identity as the princess. Moreover, it didn’t help that she was currently covering part of her face with a hat. If someone were to look at her now and judge her solely by her figure, she would indeed look like a little girl.

“Huh? Who’s looking for me?”

Very quickly, Mador walked out of the room and looked at Alice curiously. It was obvious Mador did not recognize Alice. Although Alice had previously seen Mador outside Magic Tower Know-It-All’s room, it was only a one-sided meeting. Mador evidently did not notice Alice back then.

Alice did not state the purpose of her visit directly. After all, the chubby girl was still standing next to Mador. There were also quite a few people in the corridor looking at her curiously. She naturally couldn’t reveal that she was the Demon King in this situation. Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to express the purpose of her visit to Mador.

Subsequently, Alice extended her right hand to her forehead and traced a pattern with her finger. Although Mador was initially confused by this action, realization quickly dawned upon her, and her expression changed a little.

Alice had outlined the shape of her horn on her forehead. Meanwhile, Mador’s demonic organ just so happened to be a pair of horns that grew from her forehead.

“Let’s talk somewhere else,” Mador suggested. Although she couldn’t figure out Alice’s identity, since Alice did not expose her identity as a demon in front of all these people, it meant that they still had room for negotiations. Hence, she had made such a suggestion.

Not all spies from the demon realm had a Heavenly King as their parent. Mador didn’t know the Demon King’s true appearance, so it was normal for her not to recognize Alice.
