Lance was startled: "You are such a chatterbox. Let's get down to business. I didn't wake up in the morning to listen to your nonsense."
"Yes, yes." Spark said quickly: "I'm sorry to disturb Your Highness's rest. As soon as we got the order, we quickly sent these humans to you. I was afraid that something would go wrong... " With that said, he was about to lift the black cloth.
"Wait a minute." Lance waved his hand: "Stand to the side and don't burn the cart. Dana, lift the cloth."
This Dana is the corpse maid next to him. After being on the story for so long, I have to give her a name, right?
Spark stood aside with an awkward smile: "Yes... Your Highness is right. What if I, a frivolous guy, set the cart on fire again?"
Seeing that Lance didn't respond, he thought that was the wrong thing to say. After thinking about it, he looked at Dana and sighed: "Your Highness...this maid of yours is so beautiful! She looks like a flower!"
Lance glanced at him, "When did you become blind?"
The black cloth was lifted and it was a huge iron cage. Anna and her group were locked inside the cage. Several people were obviously stunned when they saw Lance. They thought they were going to be pulled out and executed, so their hearts were filled with despair.
But after seeing Lance and thinking about what this half-demon and half-human guy said yesterday, hope was raised in the hearts of these people.
Lance also looked at them. Under his gaze, their status was also revealed.
[Weak, Neutral]
The relationship is actually neutral? This surprised him.
"Key." Lance said.
Spark quickly handed over a bunch of keys.
Lance took a step forward with the key, but he stopped immediately. He saw that the statuses of this group of people were still yellow and neutral just now, but now they instantly turned into red fonts: Hostile!
"Oh, these people don't give up yet." He understood what was going on instantly. They saw him walking over with the key and some unrealistic ideas appeared in their heads.
Lance's guess was correct. The moment Gru saw him approaching with the key, he looked at his companion. They were all old comrades in arms and could understand the meaning with just one look.
What a good hostage the third prince is! As long as he dares to come over, they have at least a dozen ways to directly take this third prince who can't see a trace of elemental power in his body!
But they saw Lance stop in his tracks suddenly. He threw the key to JiangCheng: "Open the door."
Then he turned away and said, "Dana, take them to the living room and notify the kitchen to prepare more breakfast."
"Yes."
In the cage, Gru clenched his fists in annoyance.
Watching Lance leave, Spark scratched his head in confusion. What happened? Is this third prince so stingy? Forget it if he doesn't give him a reward, why doesn't he even give him a verbal praise? But no matter what he thought, the undead servant of the third prince had already left with those humans.
"Is this third prince afraid of the heat?" Spark muttered in his heart.
In the living room at this time, a huge table has been unfolded, which is covered with white cloth. There are three candlesticks and silver tableware with the number of people.
Fortunately, demons only have serious differences with Lance in terms of aesthetics. When it comes to food, the intelligent creatures in this world are still the same. But for him, the food here is relatively large.
The breakfast was nothing greasy, just bread, milk, and some unknown barbecue. This kind of thing may be common on Earth, but in this other world where productivity seems to be somewhat low, this is a sumptuous breakfast that only nobles can enjoy!
Although there were all demons in his mansion, many of the customs regarding table manners are still the same among all races fortunately, and everyone is already familiar with preparing breakfast.
JiangCheng and Dana came with Anna and the others. They were wearing magic-forbidden chains on their hands and feet and followed by three of Lance's courtyard guards.
These guards were still somewhat humanoid and they were the ones chosen by Lance. Though it was said that Lance had chosen them, he knew that they were all his father's subordinates. There was no way. He didn't even have a decent follower based on his previous strength and power.
What these guards' heads showed was not loyal, but friendly.
This is fucked up. The third prince of the demon clan has lived for more than ten years, but the only person who treats him seriously is his maid. Oh, now there is an additional zombie.
"You guys go down," Lance said to the guards.
The guards took the order and retreated. Lance smiled and said: "Sit down, everyone. I think you haven't eaten well for a long time, right?"
Several people looked at each other and then moved their eyes to JiangCheng. Their current relationship was still hostile.
"Stop looking." Lance said calmly: "He won't go out. If he goes out, you will rush up and tie me up, right? Speaking of which, when I was about to get the key to open the door for you, you was thinking so, right?"
The faces of Gru and others suddenly darkened. Anna quickly smiled and said: "Your Highness, please don't joke."
Lance glanced at her. He sat on the main seat and snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm joking? I have to admit that you are very courageous and have a strong desire to survive. You don't want to let any opportunity go, but..."
He paused and said disdainfully: "If you have any intelligence, can you please use your brain? This is the Second Demon Capital, the territory of the Cruel Demon Lord Ratahn! Do you think that even if I cooperate with you to be kidnapped, will you be able to escape here? No matter how useless I am, I am still of royal blood. If I are kidnapped, you will be as conspicuous as the sun in the sky in this city."
Lance's words were like a declaration of war and several people's expressions instantly became tense.
"Don't be so nervous." Lance spread his hands, "I don't intend to make a fuss about this. In fact, if you don't show any hostility, I don't even take a closer look at you. I said I will show my sincerity. Now let's eat first."
Relying on the plug-in, he saw their mental activities thoroughly. This crisis has been avoided.
Anna looked at her nervous fellows, and then smiled: "Your Highness is very considerate. Gru, let everyone sit down, don't let down his kindness."
At this moment, Lance saw [Hostile] over them turn to [Neutral]. Obviously, this status changes with the target's mood and is much more practical than Lance imagined.
After a group of people sat down, they were reserved at first. But when the aroma of the barbecue came out, everyone except Anna immediately started devouring it.
Lance cut a piece of meat with a knife, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times before saying, "I find that I need to add something to our cooperation."
Anna's meat-cutting hand paused slightly. She raised her head and asked, "What?"
"You are so stupid. You don't seem to understand your current situation at all."
"I know you are still thinking carefully about how to escape, but you always seem to be thinking about causing chaos. There are many masters in this city. If you really want to run away, the only feasible solution is to run sneakily without alerting anyone. Look what you were thinking just now. Even if you want to kidnap me, you have to gain my trust first. Besides, how can you kidnap someone in front of the warden!"
Anna's expression was a little subtle. She suddenly discovered that this third prince's brain circuit was different. Is he teaching her and others how to kidnap someone?
But Lance's next words made Anna almost spit out all the food she had just eaten.
"I will give you a map of Corsas later and you can study how to escape first."
