Chapter 40: Lilly’s Plan

Chapter 40: Lilly's Plan

"What do we have here?" Protean who was in the Griffin King's appearance asked, standing on Aaron's shoulder.

"My prince." Vince bowed.

"You don't always have to be so formal." Aaron sighed, and turned to Lilly.

"Where are the collections you talked about?" He asked.

"My prince, This way." Kira quickly interjected. "The Collections are in my Vault." She smiled.

'Why can't I feel his Realm? Or is he a normal... Wait? He's a demon?' Kira was utterly confused, but her smile remained.

"Lead the way." Hearing Aaron, she started walking, leading the ground to the basement of the store.

"Have you ever seen a store with a basement?" Vince muttered in a low voice, as they walked down the dim stairway.

The group didn't reply, and followed Kira to the end of the stairs.

"These are my collection!"

The touches in the basement suddenly lit up, showing a huge pile of both treasures and junks (old weapons, and cloths.)

"Choose whatever you like." Kira added.

The three nodded, and walked towards the Collections. Vince picked up a wooden bow, and placed it down. "Nope."

Lilly walked towards a flower, and slowly observed it. "Brother, what is this?" She asked.

Aaron walked up to her, and observed the plant.

{All seeing eyes.}

{Name: Winter-Sea Flower. Class:Rare. Info: Increase your Water Magic by 50%, but reduced 30% of your Earth magic.}

"It's a water plant, Known as; Winter-Sea Flower, it'll help increase your water magic." He said the last part in a low voice.

"The prince is right, that's indeed the Winter-Sea Flower." Kira said with a smile.

"Hmm... If baby brother said it'll help with my water magic, I'll take it."

'Her Improvement says, she needs to eat a water plant... So this flower will be beneficial to her.' He thought... He suddenly felt an energy signature in the heap of collections.

"Thanks." Aaron nodded at her, he turned to Kira who was quickly packing the coins on the ground, and turned back to Lilly:

"Are you three coming?"

"Not yet, there's something we need to do in the City, and Miss Kira here will help us."

"Yes, Yes, Yes! Anything." Kira said with a beautiful smile.

Aaron nodded, he and protean Vanished from the basement.

Kira stood up after saving all the coins in her crystals. "What do you need help with, My princess?" She asked.

"Do you know how to enter the castle?"

Kira was confused by the question, but still nodded, and said: "I know how to enter, princess. But... The army is preparing for war, It won't be easy."

"I know." Lilly smiled. "You need to do one thing for me."

"I'm listening." Kira said.

Vince leaned his back on a wooden pillar, staring at the two.

"I want you to enter the Castle and steal all the king's money."

"What?" Kira was stunned.

"Do you like your king?" Lilly asked.

"I don't like him, he increased the tax and made life difficult for the people, but stealing his money--"

"--I'm doing this, so the poor people can gain their money back... Think about this, If that Tyrant King loss all his money, what will happen?"

"Hmm... He'll ask for more Tax."

"Correct, and knowing the poor demons' taxes won't be able to cover his treasury, he'll ask the Nobles to also pay it, which will surely anger then, and a civil war will break out."

Vince and Kira blinked in shock. 'This princess is really heartless.'

"What is your gain in all this?" Kira asked out of curiosity.

"I'm not doing this for myself, but for my brother." She smiled sweetly at her.
