The Unfettered Ice Princess [ EN ]

Chapter 56 [ Cooperate (2) ]

"..... So that's it, I understand your plan. To be honest, isn't it a bit rash?" said Ophelia after finishing listening to Lenarya and Zeta's entire plan.

Lenarya rolled her eyes.
"You can come up with another plan?"

Lenarya was right. Although it was rash and had many loopholes. But the plan was not made without consideration. Unfortunately, it was the best they could do in their situation.

Ophelia thought silently. Rather than changing Lenarya's plan. It seemed like she could "patch" the gap in the plan.

"Hmm... I have some additions that might increase the success chances. It's in exchange for you trying to help me. Want to hear?" offered Ophelia after thinking for a while.

Lenarya's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Tell me."

Ophelia smiled slyly. This was also her form of revenge. After all, the enemy of the enemy is a partner, right?

Ophelia said her opinions one after another. All of Ophelia's opinions surprised Lenarya. As expected of the Calliope Family Lady, the girl's intelligence and observation were quite high. Ophelia easily filled in the gaps that might thwart their plans. Not only that, she also offered to take part in the plan.

"How? I'd rather do it than the bunny, right? I can also help make Madam Lin lose the gambling secretly. Plus, if Madam loses, it means my ownership will change to Envy."

Ophelia's words made sense. It was indeed beneficial from many angles. But...
"Are you okay with that? We don't know what kind of person Lord Envy really is."

Ophelia shrugged her shoulders.
"She can't be worse than Madam Lin."

"Let's just say that. How did you manage to get yourself to be the one to gamble at that time? Madam certainly wouldn't trust you for such large-scale gambling. Your status here is just that of a slave," Lenarya said, stabbing Ophelia.

"That's why a little acting is needed here," Ophelia smiled.

"In these three weeks, while trying to maintain my sanity, I'll also make that bitch think I've completely subjugated her. That way, she won't lay an eye on me. After all, in such high stakes, the presence of the Princess of the Grand Families will attract the attention of the opposing side, right?" explained Ophelia.

Lenarya was a little amazed and worried at the child.
"That's too dangerous."

"Your offer will put you on the line. One mistake and our entire plan could be ruined."

"Don't worry. The Calliope Family's immune system is high. Some negative substances won't affect us, even if they do, it won't be as much as other races," Ophelia replied.

Lenarya thought for a moment. The results she would get if she agreed to Ophelia's offer would be more favorable. But could she risk ruining her entire plan with this girl she had just met?

Having finished thinking, Lenarya again let out a small sigh. She reached into her pocket, trying to find something. What she pulled out of there was a clear, bluish candy in a pack of six. She tossed the candy to Ophelia.

Ophelia, "?"

"Take that. It might help you," she said.

"What's this?"

"It's a solid potion. Its effects are slightly worse than liquid potions, but it can still heal small wounds. Besides, it also has a delay in healing. Your wounds won't heal immediately after eating it," Lenarya explained.

"Heh... So... What's this for?" asked Ophelia again. She couldn't think of a situation where she would have to eat that.

Lenarya recalled some old memories as an assistant who had observed Madan Lin a long time ago.
"Madam, will not harass a sleeping person. Because the excitement she craves is the expressions and words of her victims."
