The story of Gloucester was finished.
To put it simply, Maudia had her eyes on Gloria when she was very young. But for various reasons, she didn't get Gloria right away. Perhaps because of this, Gloria became her obsession. Even after ten years, she still couldn't let it go.
"In other words, innocent playmates became forceful robbery." Dorcas rubbed his chin with his right hand and put on an "I get it" expression.
Gloria trembled as he replied, "… Maudia and I weren't innocent playmates. I only saw her a few times when I was young."
Dorcas didn't care about Gloria's answer. He kept muttering to himself, "So this is the typical example of a witch's favorite 'husband who ran away'."
Gloria kept trembling. "… I didn't run away."
Dorcas still didn't look at Gloria. Instead, his eyes lit up as if a small light bulb was shining on his face. "No wonder that princess told you to become one with her, or become her pet. It seems that she truly loves you. "
Gloria's expression froze. He looked at Dorcas in disbelief. "S-sir, how did you know?"
This time, Dorcas answered with a smile. "I was watching from the side. She was much gentler to you than that brat who called himself the Demon King."
When Glas heard this, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled.
Angor looked at Gloria's expression, and then at Dorcas' strange tone. He realized that Gloria wasn't talking about "gentleness" at all.
Dorcas took a deep look at Glas and said, "Speaking of which, the fact that you were able to persevere and refuse to submit under her enticement and treatment has made me see you in a new light."
Now Angor understood why Dorcas said "interesting" about Gloria.
Come to think of it, it must be because of this scene.
Glas, who had received a rare praise from Dorcas, did not feel any joy. He lowered his head and murmured in an extremely soft voice, "It's not that I didn't think of submitting … But Blaze was right beside me, and he didn't choose to submit. How could I wag my tail and beg for pity? Furthermore, I don't want to expose my inner weakness in front of others … "
The murmurs of the Gloucester gave the atmosphere a touch of sensuality.
Madam Merlot looked at Glaus, whose eyes were slightly red. She did not want to comment, but in the end, she comforted him in a low voice. "You've already done very well."
Angor did not say anything, but he agreed with Lady Merlo.
Were the hearts of the Gloucester really so fragile? He didn't know what exactly happened, but he could tell from Dorcas' comment that Glaus "treated him differently".
Even if Glas had said that he wanted to hide his inner weakness, or that he didn't want to be looked down upon by Blaze, from the perspective of the results, at least he had endured until the end, and that was enough.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. She's actually crying. This is unsightly." Dorcas broke the silence. "Actually, that kid who likes to call himself 'Demon King' did better than you. But I didn't pay as much attention to him as you did. It's because you exude the aura of an obedient ivory tower from the inside out. Your contrast made me see you in a new light. But now, it seems that I was wrong. The ivory tower is still the same ivory tower. "
When Glas heard Dorcas' words, he immediately took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the sour emotions in his chest.
But Dorcas still shook his head gently. "Boring."
He was talking to Angor, and Angor knew what he meant. Dorcas was going to change his comment on Glaus from "somewhat interesting" to "boring".
But did Dorcas really say that Glaus was boring because of Glaus' red eyes?
Angor believed that was not the case.
It was more likely that Glaus only got tired after listening to the gossip and having his curiosity satisfied. It was the same as some people who were easily satisfied with their desires. As long as they were satisfied, they could leave without a care.
As for the consumed Glaus … he would probably remember Dorcas' words for a very, very long time. If he was a little more sensitive, he might feel like a fishbone stuck in his throat until he died.
But Angor did not intend to explain for Dorcas. As far as he was concerned, it was not a bad thing for Glaus to suffer a setback.
Perhaps Gloucester's heart really was sensitive and weak, but after this blow from Dorcas, if a similar situation really happened in the future, he might be able to recall Dorcas's words. Then, he would grit his teeth, and just like this time, he would have to endure it and pretend to be strong.
"Since you're done with your story, you can leave now." Angor looked at Glaus.
Glaus hesitated for a moment. "Sir, can I say a few more words?"
Angor did not refuse and asked him to continue.
"I'm really not that close to Mordya. If her knights didn't find me, I wouldn't even remember such a person. So, we're definitely not childhood sweethearts.
"Also, I don't think Mordya likes me as much as you said. She gave me a choice. Either I become one with her, or I become her pet.
"Actually, neither of these are good choices. Fusing with her sounds like some kind of hint, but in my opinion, she might mean it literally. As long as I'm eaten by her, I'll be considered as fusing with her. As for becoming her pet, she can do whatever she wants with me, right? "
After explaining that there was really nothing going on between him and Mordya, Glaus apologized again to express his guilt.
"Then I'll leave you for now. I'll go take care of Brazier. He's … really good. "
After saying "take care of Brazier", Glaus paused for a moment as if he wanted to say something else. But in the end, he only said "he's really good" and left.
"Why did you stop halfway?" Dorcas shook his head and sighed. "I thought I could hear some gossip about that self-proclaimed demon. But he left without saying anything."
"You've watched enough. What's the point of gossiping?" Angor asked casually.
Dorcas shrugged and didn't say anything else.
Angor then looked at Lady Merlo. "So, what do you think about Glaus' story?"
Lady Merlo considered. "It's a ridiculous drama. But it happened in the Goman Kingdom, so it's understandable. "
"What I'm trying to say is, do you think the princess is so desperate that she would do anything to capture Glaus and even drag you all into it?"
Lady Merlo considered for a moment. "I don't know. It doesn't look like we'll be dragged into it. But that princess has a strange personality. Maybe she's really capable of something like that."
"She didn't come to see you after she put you in jail, did she?"
Lady Merlo nodded. "Apart from Brazier, Glaus, and the injured Amesa, no one else has seen her."
"That's strange too. She doesn't seem to care about who you are."
"Maybe it's because of her personality," Lady Merlo said.
Angor looked at Dorcas, asking for his opinion.
But Dorcas only gave him an innocent look. "I've told you everything. I don't really care about her, and I don't know what happened behind the scenes."
Dorcas sounded confident, but Angor did not believe him at all. Dorcas must have found something in the princess' castle. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned "immediate benefits" and encouraged Angor to fight against the princess.
Since Dorcas didn't want to talk about it, Angor didn't ask further. There had to be an answer to this. If he couldn't find anything, he could send Dodoro here. He was sure he could find something.
Not long after Dorcas finished speaking, Lady Merlot suddenly said, "Hey, Old Potter is out."
Angor followed Lady Merlo's gaze and saw Old Potter walking toward them from the back hall.
Angor sighed in relief. "Fine, I'll leave this to someone else. She dared to harm Brute Cavern. No matter what the reason is, we'll find the answer."
Angor looked at Lady Merlo and Dorcas. "Do as you please. I have something to tell Old Potter."
Without saying anything else, Angor stood up and went to greet Old Potter.
When Old Potter saw Angor walking towards him, his eyes and expression were filled with excitement. Even his lips were trembling a little. He had seen the same reaction many times before. Anyone who entered Brute Cavern would be surprised by something like this. Angor didn't even need to ask to know what Old Potter wanted to say.
Before Old Potter could say anything, Angor cut him off. "There's something I can't talk about here. Let's go to the secret room."
Old Potter nodded and tried to follow Angor.
Angor added, "Tell the other talents to come here. I'll wait for you there. Oh, and there are guards patrolling outside. They'll be here soon. Go deal with them. Don't worry, I've set up an illusion outside. They won't be able to see what's going on inside. Even if they do, it'll just be an illusion.
As for the details, you can ask Lady Merlo. "
With that, he left the hall without giving Old Potter a chance to speak.
Old Potter really wanted to go with Angor, especially since he wanted to talk about the dream wasteland. But since Angor already gave the order, he had no choice but to follow Angor's order.
Since he was eager to see Angor, the first thing Old Potter did was to ask Lady Merlo about the situation.
Lady Merlo was about to leave. She didn't want to sit with Red Sword Dorcas any longer. But when she saw Old Potter approaching, she stopped.
Old Potter was about to speak when Dorcas spoke first. "Didn't the dimensional wizard say he wanted to talk to you?"
Old Porter respectfully replied, "There are guards patrolling outside heading in this direction. Milord asked me to deal with the patrolling guards first since these matters are rather urgent. I'll go find him after I'm done. "
"Really?" Dorcas muttered to himself.
Old Potter: "Yes."
Dorcas looked a little doubtful. He felt that it was strange for Angor to leave alone, but he didn't think Dorcas was wrong.
"Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it." Dorcas sighed. He picked up his wine glass and began to drink one cup after another. His mind once again turned to how to fight against the crowned parrot.
Old Potter quickly asked Lady Merlo about the situation in Princess' Castle so that he could figure out how to deal with those guards.
While Lady Merlo explained what happened to Old Potter, Angor had already arrived at the secret room.
However, he didn't go inside. Instead, he pointed a finger at the door and created an illusion inside the room.
If someone else was here, they would see that the illusion in the room was exactly Angor's current appearance.
As for Angor's real body, he opened a Void Gate and vanished into thin air.
…
Dorcas was right. Angor did have something to do with Princess' Castle.
However, Angor wasn't planning to sneak into the castle this time.
Instead, he went to the top of an uninhabited hill not far from the castle and looked down at it from above.
Next, Angor took out something from his bracelet.
After a long while, a shadow flashed over the hill like a big bird flying across the night sky, and directly flew into the range of the Princess' Castle …
Angor was still standing at the top of the hill, looking at the castle that was still shining brightly in the distance.
…
Screams of agony could be heard coming from the third floor of Princess' Castle.
One servant after another was pushed into a room on the third floor by the furious Princess. Soon, more and more servants ran out of the room in fear.
Meanwhile, the Empress grabbed the servant, picked up some unknown medicine, and poured it into his mouth.
All the servants who took the potion began to show signs of being stretched and deformed. Their bones changed and their flesh wriggled, causing these low-leveled apprentices to howl in pain.
After that, came screams of agony.
None of the mutated servants managed to escape death. In the end, all of them exploded and turned into a pile of blood.
After this group of servants had all died, the Empress furiously looked behind her, and a new group of servants was brought in. They had personally seen how the previous group of servants had died, and facing the Empress' gaze, they all trembled in fear.
The Princess didn't care about their lives at all. She pointed at them and said, "Get in! Now!"
The screams of the servants didn't arouse the Princess' sympathy. They only made her angrier.
At this moment, a hand gently patted the princess's shoulder.
The Princess turned around and saw it was Wizard Gray Raven, who had been standing beside her without saying a word.
"Almost all the servants in the castle are dead. If they die, you won't have anyone to serve you. Let them go, "Wizard Gray Raven spoke in a soft voice.
Princess: "No, absolutely not! I won't stop until I find out which potion works! If they're all gone, keep capturing them. The kingdom lacks everything except people! "
Wizard Gray Raven sighed softly.
The Princess laughed coldly and said, "Don't think I'm doing this for myself. You're in the same situation as me. Look at your face!"
Wizard Gray Raven could see his face clearly through the reflection of the mirror.
The hood that he had been wearing had been taken off. He couldn't wear it if he didn't take it off. His face and head were full of colorful speckled mushrooms. These speckled mushrooms were all over his body. Some were big and some were small, and they filled his clothes.
It wasn't just Wizard Gray Raven. The Princess and the servants who had escaped from the door were all in the same situation.
Their bodies were full of mushrooms.
And the one who caused all of this was the pink python Shrek that the Empress had touched and exploded.
No one knew what outsiders had done to Shrek. After it exploded, a large amount of fog started to spread. Everyone who came into contact with this fog started to grow mushrooms.
The Princess and Wizard Gray Raven were the first to suffer.
The mushrooms that grew out were like a part of the body. It would only hurt if you cut them off, and they would grow back very quickly. This frightening growth made the Empress feel alarmed.
Even if these mushrooms didn't have any negative effects, she couldn't accept being ugly.
She had always pursued the most exquisite life. How could she tolerate having flaws on her body?
Therefore, she started to use all the potions in Princess' Town. She let the servants into the room to touch the mushrooms to test the potions.
But until now, none of the potions could suppress the growth of the mushrooms.
Just as the Princess was screaming in anger.
A strange laughter suddenly echoed in the empty castle.
