The Rebirth of Evelyn Knox

Chapter 215: The Bait

Although Cecilia knew that both Nadia and Aurora had given Evelyn a lot of mysterious artifacts, aside from the ones that the pink-haired girl handed over to them, the ash blonde wasn't exactly sure what effects the rest of them had.

So when Evelyn gave the third princess what appeared to be a big bunch of white dough balls and about a dozen long boxes that looked like miniaturized coffins, Cecilia still had no idea what their purpose was at all until Evelyn explained everything to the other girl.

Naturally, there was no need to hide such a thing from Cecilia. Not only were the two of them close friends, but the ash blonde had also voluntarily tied herself to this 'sinking ship' despite being aware of all the risks. Aside from her 'true origin', Evelyn would tell her anything as long as she asked.

If Cecilia was shocked when she heard what the 'dough balls' could do, then the function of the miniature coffins could be said to have left the ash blonde completely dumbfounded.

Of course, no matter how amazing their effects were, when she thought about the abilities of the royal family and the 'Lord of Bones', Cecilia still felt worried for her friend's family. "Should I contact my grandma to help?"

Evelyn gave the ash-blonde girl a smile. "No need. They're in a much safer position right now, and it's better for your family if they don't get involved at all. This matter as long as Princess Lorraine can do it right, should be easy to settle."

The third princess didn't dare to delay as she took everything that her 'Queen' had handed over into her spatial ring. "Rest assured, my Queen, even if I end up losing my life, I will do everything I can to carry out your will to my last breath!"

Cecilia felt a little embarrassed listening to her speech, but looking at Evelyn's satisfied expression, she could only purse her lips in thought. 'I have to say, although she looks so adorable most of the time, little Eve sure likes to act domineering every chance she gets, huh?'

Fortunately, Evelyn wasn't paying much attention to Cecilia's expression, and continued instructing her 'subordinate' diligently. "There are some people here who are targeting us, and I want you to help me turn the situation around without exposing myself. Understand?"

The third princess continued to nod obediently as she noted down every word of her 'Queen' in her heart, all the while cursing at the people who dared to covet her.

Unfortunately, she couldn't enjoy basking in her Queen's presence for too long, and Evelyn dismissed her soon after she was done telling her everything she needed to get done.

Lorraine didn't dare to let her forlorn expression show on her face as she exited their room. The royal guards naturally wouldn't question their master, and only bowed and followed after her as per their duty.

The old innkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the star of misfortune leave, and quickly gave her 'partner in crime' a sharp look. "Go check if those bitches are still alive!"

Although things took an unexpected turn, if the princess didn't damage the goods too much while playing around, there was a chance they might even be able to take the reward home without any effort!

Thinking about it this way, maybe this could even be considered a fortune amidst misfortune!

Looking at the dough ball in her hand, Cecilia could only follow Evelyn's example and put it in her mouth to chew.

"Make sure to weave your spirit power into the Spirit Mould, or it won't take good shape. Although they may not be very familiar with us, we can't be careless."

The ash blonde could only nod and do as she was told, wondering why this 'Spirit Mould' dough ball couldn't taste better. It was like chewing on rubber!

Fortunately, Evelyn soon motioned for her to spit it out, and while embarrassed, Cecilia did as she was told.

The pink-haired girl stared darkly at the spit-covered and chewed-up doughball in her hand, and threw it on the ground. "Why would you spit it out in my hand?!"

Cecilia coughed, feeling even more embarrassed than before when she realized she had misunderstood. "W-Wasn't that what you were asking for?"

Evelyn couldn't help but roll her eyes. "No! I just told you to spit it out Oh whatever, forget it. We don't have the time. Come here."

The ash blonde pouted as she stepped closer to the pink-haired girl. "Y-You didn't say I couldn't, either!"

Evelyn didn't bother responding as she pulled her into a tight embrace, and Cecilia finally shut up when she felt a tight, almost suffocating film of spirit power start forming around them.

She knew this must be one of Evelyn's most mysterious abilities. The one that allowed her to completely vanish from all types of perception.

Although the pink-haired girl had already told her about it before, hearing about it and seeing it for herself were still two completely different things. After all, Evelyn didn't go into too much detail.

When Cecilia realized that they could still observe the surroundings even in 'isolation', she couldn't help but gasp in surprise. "A-Amazing! This is like the ultimate ability for perverts!"

Seeing Evelyn's judgmental look, the ash blonde coughed. "N-Not that I would ever do such a thing if I could By the way, you didn't rub my spit on my dress, right?"

Evelyn pursed her lips in a tight smile. "Do you think I would do such a thing?"

"O-Of course not!"

Fortunately, the transformation of the dough balls on the ground ended up turning her attention away.

From the size of a small child's fist, they slowly swelled up till they were so big that even an adult man would be dwarfed in comparison. Soon, however, the white material started shrinking and taking the shape of the two girls, even including the clothes they were wearing.

Cecilia couldn't help but be shocked.

The only difference she could see was that their eyes were somewhat vacant, and their neutral expressions looked extremely unnatural.

Of course, given that these were just 'imitations' that couldn't really 'think' or 'feel', Cecilia felt that this was already quite impressive.

It didn't take long before the door slammed open, just as Evelyn expected, and a group of cloaked men burst into their room domineeringly.
