Chapter 403 Natasha's Predicament
Evan glanced at Natasha, whose nightgown was soaked with sweat and pressed against her delicate body, and said with a smile:
"Alright, stop showing off your great figure. Stand up, I have something to say!"
Upon hearing this, Natasha abandoned her meek demeanor, obediently stood up, and looked at Evan with lowered eyes, waiting to see what he was about to say.
"This extraordinary property comes from Maxim, which means I have already informed the Fussac Empire about your situation."
So from today onwards, you must be careful, because a demigod-level "schemer" will never believe what others say on one side. Even if he believes it temporarily for various reasons, he will test and verify it from time to time.
So continue doing what you normally do, just be mindful of what you're doing and don't be careless.
From now on, I won't meet with you easily, to avoid giving myself away, understand?
Evan had told Natasha about his plans before, so she was prepared for what he was about to say and was not surprised.
"Don't worry, Master! I was prepared, and I'm sure no one will notice anything amiss."
Natasha walked behind Evan, and while massaging the shoulders of "Alice," who was still in female form, with her delicate and slender hands, she said.
Evan squinted, enjoying Natasha's service, but his mouth never stopped talking:
"Has Duchess Georgina been in contact with you during this time?"
"Yes, but I regularly send apologies to the Witch Cult and promise to find Triss as soon as possible."
However, she kept emphasizing that Triss, possessing the divinity of a primordial witch, was not easy to find, so she hoped the Witch Cult could send someone to Backlund again.
Witches are inherently difficult to capture, and Triss, who possesses the divinity of the "Primordial Witch," is even more difficult to capture. "It seems that the Augustus family is eager to repair relations with the witch cult."
While it's true that Triss is hard to find, the fact that they urged the Witch Cult to send more people to Backlund so soon after the search showed their urgency.
"Is it because of the deteriorating relations with the Fussac Empire that the Augustus family is so eager to find another party to help restrain them?"
Because the Kingdom of Rune has never given the outside world a reasonable explanation for rejecting the "goodwill" of the Fusak Empire, the Kingdom of Rune is in a very passive position in terms of diplomacy, and other countries that are on good terms with the Kingdom of Rune are unwilling to get involved at this time.
Moreover, those so-called allies may well have been planning to use this opportunity to weaken both the Fusak Empire and the Kingdom of Rune.
Furthermore, given that the Kingdom of Rune has made plans to launch an effective military counterattack against the Fusak Empire, it is not unimaginable that the Augustus family would want to obtain all possible assistance.
The Witch Cult itself was an ally of the Augustus family, and also an adversary of the Einhorn family of the Fursac Empire. It could be said that the Kingdom of Rune was a natural ally in dealing with the Fursac Empire. However, the relationship between these allies was fractured by the mysterious deaths of two witches during the Great Uprising in Backlund.
"So how did the Witch Cult respond? Did they still demand the Augustus family hand over the murderers who killed Panadia and Katarina Pelle before sending anyone to Backlund?"
Because of their suspicions about the Augustus family, the Witch Cult has been demanding that the Augustus family at least find the murderer before they are willing to send more people to Backlund.
However, if the Augustus family had been able to find the culprit, they would have eliminated the troublemaker long ago; they wouldn't have waited until now.
At this point, their only clue was the mysterious Empress Bernadette, who had killed Prince Grove in front of everyone during the Great Uprising in Backlund.
But the mysterious queen is now an angel on earth, far removed from the Kingdom of Rune, and the 'Pale Death' she displays in her hand, along with 00...
5. Two powerful sealing items.
Therefore, trying to extract relevant information from him is basically wishful thinking.
Even the powerful Witch Cult, after assessment, felt that the chances were slim, so they could only pressure the Augustus family to give them an explanation.
"My personal feeling is that although the Witch Cult is still not giving an answer, their tone is much softer than before."
I think it might be because Triss hasn't been found yet.
Natasha leaned close to Evan's ear and whispered something, while subtly rubbing her ample bosom against Evan's back.
However, the tricks that used to work every time failed today. Evan didn't touch her as he usually did, but remained unmoved, maintaining his "Alice" demeanor.
"This was expected, after all, the cost of parting ways is too high. Two witches are not as valuable as a Sequence 1 'Conqueror' extraordinary trait and a 'Primordial Witch' divine vessel."
I estimate that once the Augustus family provides some compensation, the Witch Cult will likely take advantage of the situation to re-enter Backlund and continue with the remaining transactions.
If that's the case, then the situation is very unfavorable for you.
You have lost the protection of Katarina Phitlai. The reason you haven't been targeted by other witches during this time is simply because you are to act as a messenger between the "Ash Witch" and the Augustus family.
Once they reach a settlement, you, as their messenger, will lose your usefulness, and your fate is predictable.
Natasha was clearly aware of her situation, but she did not feel any fear because of Evan's words. After all, she was essentially a prisoner of the City of Calamity, and her current body was just a shell. Even if this shell died, she would at most be locked in the "cage" again, just like before.
She was confident that based on her performance during this period, Evan would not leave her in the City of Calamity for too long, and she would return to the real world sooner or later.
Therefore, she would not easily give up this physical appearance, but her attitude towards potential dangers was basically to turn a blind eye and let nature take its course. Evan, on the other hand, obviously did not think so. He was unwilling to have his pawns planted in the witch cult eliminated so quickly, not to mention that he had just helped Natasha get promoted.
"Have you been in contact with Tracy during this time, especially since she's been ill?"
Instead of offering Natasha advice immediately, Evan asked her about the task he had previously assigned her.
"I've made contact, and I'm about to report to you!"
He's currently living in constant fear, afraid to abruptly stop collecting slaves, yet also worried about being confronted by authorities. So, he was somewhat surprised and pleased that I contacted him.
"Alright, then quickly explain your situation so that he can find an opportunity to make a move against Lieutenant General Twilight. Don't aim for merit, just make a big scene!"
"
