The Unfettered Ice Princess [ EN ]

Chapter 55 [ Cooperate ]

Ophelia slowly opened her eyes. The sunlight that faintly illuminated her lighting made the girl become more aware of her surroundings.

"......."
Her position was still the same. What was different from last night was the absence of Madam Lin in the room.

Realizing that, Ophelia felt more relieved. The girl turned her head to the side and spat in the corner of the room. Her mouth tasted bitter from earlier. Clearly, what Ophelia spat out was not saliva, but blood. Blood that had started to turn black because it had been sitting in her mouth for too long.

Ophelia pulled out her tongue, which was still stinging.
"It hurts..."

"I knew it, that method is too barbaric... But I can't think of any other way," she complained.

Ophelia remembered clearly, last night, the real reason she fainted. It wasn't because of the Aphrodisiac effect, fatigue, or any other reason. What actually made Ophelia faint was anemia or lack of blood. She bit her tongue as hard as she could until it almost broke off in order to force herself to faint. Of course not without reason, Ophelia felt that the next scene would be too dangerous for her, that's why Ophelia was forced to do that.

TOK TOK TOK

The door of the room was knocked, without waiting for an answer from whoever was inside, someone opened the door.

Ophelia could see a cold-looking modern dressed female elf entering the room. The elf was carrying a tray with food on it.

Slowly, she walked towards Ophelia.
".... Your appearance is really messy."

"Please don't make fun of me. There's no way I can stay presentable after that incident," Ophelia replied somewhat annoyed.

The elf, Lenarya let out a small sigh. She placed her tray on the table and approached Ophelia to untie her. Lenarya also briefly glanced at the blood spot Ophelia had released earlier.

".... You did it, huh."

"Yes, there was no other choice."

After Ophelia's bonds were untied, the girl was able to correct her sitting position and lean back more comfortably. It felt like her back was hurting from having to stay in that position for so long.

"..... Thank you," Ophelia said softly.

Lenarya just nodded.
"No problem."

"Can you eat? I was told to make sure you eat."

Ophelia glanced at the food Lenarya had brought. To be honest, the food looked very delicious and luxurious. But annoyingly, it was served on a dog plate.

"........ I'll eat it later," Ophelia replied forcefully.

Ophelia looked at the elf in front of her with a tired expression.
"Forget about me. How's your plan coming along?"

"It starts today, right?" asked Ophelia.

Lenarya nodded again.
"Yes. I sent Zeta to meet the person I chose in person."

"But for the ones in the Northern region... It looks like it will take some time. The Northern Region is being guarded more heavily these days now that Lord Envy has arrived."

"I see," Ophelia said regretfully.

"Even though the biggest help is in the Northern region."

Lenarya noticed the change in Ophelia's expression.
"Is something wrong?"

".... No, just do as you plan," Ophelia replied. She thought that if it was Naeva, Naeva would definitely do whatever she wanted. Even so, Naeva wouldn't be on the wrong side, so she didn't need to worry (worried that Naeva would be on the other side).
