Chapter 315

“Let’s talk here. The surveillance here is broken. It might seem to be working properly, but it will only replay the same footage over and over again… It’s been like this for several months already, but the guys in the surveillance room haven’t even noticed it until now,” Mador said.

After changing into a more reserved set of clothes, Mador led Alice out of the dormitory area and to Floor 50’s Sector G5. Then, as soon as she verified that nobody else was around, she promptly changed her way of speaking.

If before Mador spoke like an ordinary outgoing girl, then now her voice became much more mature and serious. If Alice hadn’t seen Mador’s previous behavior, she would have had difficulty imagining her as the same outgoing girl she had seen in the dormitory area.

However, this wasn’t a particularly surprising sight. There was no way an immature person could be tasked with working as an undercover agent. Moreover, while Mador might not be the Royal Magic Tower’s Magic Tower Know-It-All, it was obvious that she still knew plenty about the Royal Magic Tower. For example, she knew that something had gone wrong with the surveillance system in this area. Alice doubted that even Magic Tower Know-It-All knew about this problem. Otherwise, the Royal Magic Tower’s authorities would have been notified about it, and they would have gotten it fixed rather than leave it in a broken state for several months.

In addition, Alice noticed that this area seemed to be undergoing renovations as the doors of the classrooms here were all wide open. Meanwhile, looking through these doors, she could see tables and chairs piled up in a corner. There were also some chairs and tables placed haphazardly out in the corridor. It was obvious that few people would visit this place normally. Combined with the broken surveillance system, this was indeed a good place to hold a secret conversation.

“So, how did you learn about my identity? Who are you?” Mador asked as she looked at Alice, a grave expression appearing on her face. The fact that Alice knew where and what her demonic organs were showed that Alice didn’t simply suspect that she might be a demon. Had that been the case, she would have already moved to eliminate Alice.

However, seeing as Alice knew about the horns she had kept hidden, it proved that Alice had already been observing her for quite some time and gained a certain degree of understanding of her. So, rather than act rashly, she decided she would first see what the other party was trying to do before deciding on her next move.

“You don’t have a parent for a Heavenly King like Frosette, so I guess it makes sense you don’t know me,” Alice said, nodding as she reached her own conclusion after seeing Mador’s response. Since the surveillance here was broken, she did not need to continue hiding her appearance. So, she removed her sun hat and looked at Mador, saying, “Let me introduce myself. I am Alice. On the surface, I am a princess of the Gryffin Kingdom, but my other identity is this generation’s Demon King.”

Although Alice had one other identity she hadn’t revealed, she naturally wouldn’t tell Mador, a demon, that she was the Hero.

Meanwhile, Mador was evidently shocked by Alice’s revelation. She had already recognized Alice as the Gryffin Princess when Alice removed her hat. After all, Alice’s face had caused quite a sensation on the human realm’s internet some time ago. As a spy operating in the Royal Magic Tower, Mador had naturally seen pictures of Alice.

Originally, Mador thought that since a member of the Gryffin Kingdom’s royalty had discovered her identity, she would probably be forced to fight for her life soon. However, before she could gather her strength, Alice’s words had stupefied her.

As an intelligence agent tasked with working undercover in the human realm, Mador had received strict training before she was dispatched on her mission. So, logically, no matter what situation she encountered, she would never have her actions interrupted by feelings of surprise. Even if she did reveal a dumbfounded behavior, it would most likely be an act. However, the shock she just experienced wasn’t an act. Instead, her brain had truly froze for a moment.

It couldn’t be helped. The Gryffin Kingdom’s Princess Alice was one of only two people who had a chance of inheriting the Gryffin Kingdom. Yet, such a person was the Demon King? No matter how Mador thought about this, she couldn’t help but find it incredulous.

“I know you’re having a hard time accepting this, but I can prove myself,” Alice said. She knew that words alone couldn’t prove anything. Although Mador could verify her identity by asking Frosette, she had a much more efficient method of convincing the demon spy. “Turn around for a moment. I’ll show you some proof.”

Mador still found Alice’s revelation strange. However, for some reason, despite her usual cautious personality, she still turned around obediently. She was probably reacting this way because she still hadn’t fully recovered from the impact of Alice’s words. Combined with Alice’s deceptive appearance, Mador subconsciously loosened her guard around Alice.

When Alice saw Mador turning away, she quickly reached into her pouch to grab a pair of black panties. The area they were in was poorly illuminated, probably because of the renovations that were taking place here. Moreover, black mist would envelop her hand whenever she held a pair of black panties in her right hand. So, Alice wasn’t worried that Mador would see her holding panties in her hand. Meanwhile, the tremendous amount of dark mana the black panties granted her should be enough to validate her claim of being the Demon King.

However, possibly because Alice acted in too much of a hurry, the panties Alice pulled out of the pouch with her right hand weren’t black. Instead, it was a pair of pure white panties…

…

Alice’s heart thumped when the weapon information appeared in her mind. Although she had promptly let go of the white panties, she was a step too late as her right hand had briefly released a radiant glow that brightly illuminated the entire corridor.

Mador’s heart likewise began thumping maniacally. She wasn’t blind. She might have had her back facing Alice, but she could still see the blinding light and tremendous amount of mana that briefly appeared behind her just now.

Mador might have never come into contact with light mana, so she didn’t know what light mana felt. However, when she linked the tremendous amount of mana she felt with the blinding light she saw, a thought that caused her anxiety to spike appeared in her mind.
