"Your Highness." Sebastian bowed slightly: "Can you be more decent?"
"I have only a few gold coins! What the hell decent!" Lance was only concerned about his account balance and said resolutely: "Sell it! Don't talk so much nonsense!"
Sebastian was silent. Then the black mist above his head turned into a human face with a serious expression: "Your Highness, why do you need gold coins so much suddenly?"
Lance said displeased: "Do I need to report to you what I plan to do?"
"Of course you don't need to. But as your steward and your etiquette officer, I must remind you. What you are going to do now will affect the face of the royal family."
"The items in the mansion, in order to show their identity value and shock others, all have the mark of belonging to the royal family."
"In history, how can any royal family sell their own things? If Your Majesty finds out about this, your situation will be difficult, Your Highness!"
"Huh?" Lance didn't believe it: "All have the mark? Why don't I know?"
"Of course you don't know about such a small thing." Sebastian said: "So please put away your unrealistic thoughts. Although I don't know why you suddenly need gold coins so much, this method is absolutely not possible!"
"Damn it!" Lance cursed: "What can I do if I don't do this? Do you want me to rob others?"
Sebastian's originally serious expression softened instantly.
When he saw Sebastian's expression, an fearful emotion arose in his heart. The corners of his eyes twitched: "No...are you really going to rob others?"
Sebastian nodded: "This is a good idea. It is so gratifying that you have such an idea, Your Highness!"
Are all demons so straightforward and terrifying? Lance once again refreshed his understanding of the Demon Race!
Sebastian opened his mouth. When he was about to continue speaking, his expression suddenly changed: "Who is there!"
The next moment, a burst of black mist suddenly broke through the window!
Lance saw the black mist turn into a giant claw, which was holding a woman's neck tightly.
He laughed after just one glance. Isn't she that unreliable magician?
Anna's face turned pale at this moment. She wanted to remove the mist claw with her both hands to reduce the burden on her neck, but she couldn't catch anything!
"Put it down." Lance waved his hand, "She is on our side."
"I handled the procedures for these humans." Sebastian had no intention of letting go: "But they are still humans after all. Your Highness, this human even sneaked outside your room and eavesdropped. She must have evil intentions!"
Over there, Anna's face became paler and paler, and her hands already had a glimmer of light!
Sebastian's voice sank: "You still want to resist!"
Lance broke out in a cold sweat! This light was familiar to him!
"Sebastian, let her go!" Lance was no longer in the mood to watch a show: "This is an order!"
After hearing the last four words, Sebastian withdrew the black mist, while Anna, who had escaped from the mist claw, covered her neck, bent over and coughed violently.
Lance wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he reacted. If he had been slower, she would use her explosion magic again.
"Are you demons so rude?" She touched her neck with one hand and asked breathlessly.
But Sebastian didn't answer her. He ducked in front of Anna, and the black mist in his hands turned into a black sword: "Human, why are you eavesdropping?"
Ana immediately explained: "I'm just passing by!"
Just when Sebastian was about to speak, Lance quickly said: "She didn't lie. I took off her chain when she entered the mansion. At the same time, I promised that as long as she does not leave here, this magician lady will be the guest of our mansion. Sebastian, you must misunderstand her!"
Sebastian was stunned, as if he was trying to understand Lance's words. Then he looked at Anna carefully, and then the mist sword turned into hands. He pushed back two steps and bowed slightly: "I apologize to you for my previous recklessness, lady."
Anna also knew her situation. She moved her neck and said slightly dissatisfied: "It's okay. I just hope your highness can spread your order quickly. I don't want to be choked again next time I go for a walk. I don't have a magic-forbidden chain on me right now!"
In Lance's opinion, the last sentence was no different from a threat.
"Please rest assured, beautiful lady." Sebastian had already retreated to Lance's side when he said this.
Lance's eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered something similar. He touched Sebastian with his elbow and asked in a low voice: "Do you really think she is beautiful?"
Sebastian bent down and replied in a low voice: "This is a courtesy, Your Highness."
Well, Lance's smile disappeared instantly.
Anna was still worried about her neck and didn't pay attention to the little moves of the two demons. She said: "You want to make money, don't you?"
"How do you know?"
"I happened to hear it when I was passing by! Otherwise, why would I have hurt by your subordinate!" Anna grinned, then tilted her head and said: "If you want to make money, maybe... I can help you."
Lance didn't believe his ears. This scene was as shocking as a prisoner on death row on the battlefield who suddenly took out a hundred taels of silver to bribe the jailer when he was brought back to the enemy's territory to be executed.
"You...can help me make money?"
Anna raised her neck: "Magicians never lie!"
"Come on, what you say is even less reliable than a monk who says he never tells lies."
But what surprised him was that Anna was very serious this time: "I didn't lie to you! I had just been regained half my freedom and able to walk around. Why do I lie to you at this time?"
Lance held his chin. Her words seemed to be reasonable.
"Tell me, how can you help make money?"
"I am a magician!" Anna looked proud: "I am from black... I am from a hereditary magician noble family! Do you know what this means?"
Lance tilted his head: "It means you bombed your home, so you were sent to the battlefield?"
"Hey!!" Anna's face turned blue with anger: "I'm talking to you about business!"
"Isn't it?" Lance blinked: "Except for this, I really can't imagine how you, a magician, was captured by the demon army when there was a forbidden curse to help you cut off the pursuing troops! You are clearly being thrown by your family."
"You! You!" Anna pointed at him and her body trembling: "I... I just used the wrong magic on the way to retreat!"
"Are you sure you're not using the wrong magic every day? Think about that lighting magic."
She stamped her foot hardly: "If you keep doing this, I won't help you!"
"Okay." Lance raised his hands: "Go on, dear noble lady magician."
Anna could hear the sarcasm in these words and gritted her teeth. But she felt that she had to endure it first when she was living under someone else's roof.
Just as she wanted to go on, she forgot what she said: "What did I just say?"
"You said you blowing up your house."
"Your Highness!" Anna screamed.
"Hey, don't get excited. You said you are a hereditary magician noble."
Anna breathed out and said angrily: "Since I am a magician, naturally I don't only know how to use magic but also know many other things, such as magical creations, scrolls and inscribed runes, etc. These things can be sold in the market and worth a lot of money!"
"Is that so?" Lance looked at Sebastian: "Is she telling the truth?"
Sebastian nodded: "Except for elves, other races do have a strong pursuit of magical creations."
"Including us?"
"Including us."
"Why?" Lance was a little confused: "The reason why elves don't pursue it is because their talent is natural magic and they often claim that they are the ancestors of magic. But we are not in the elemental barrens. Can't we use demon energy?"
Sebastian was silent for a moment, and answered: "Maybe it's due to regional differences. No matter what race you are, you are always more interested in things that you have never seen."
"Come on!" Anna mercilessly exposed him at the side: "If you look at the green demon energy of your Demon Race too much, it will look like a grassland above your head! Isn't that colorful magic energy always be what you are pursuing?"
"..." Lance blinked: "Is this the reason?"
Sebastian said seriously: "I think the main reason is curiosity!"
Anna scoffed at this.
