After the servant ran out, Arshe seemed even more nervous, probably because she heard that Ellie had also called Fluder over!
After all, before Arshe's old man squandered his fortune, Arshe was Fluder's most promising student.
It's estimated that Fluder had already designated Arshe as his successor back then, but plans always change faster than expected.
If Nazarick and I hadn't transmigrated, would that kind of life have been a form of happiness for Arshe?
Although I did save her life and changed her destined death, the source of all this was precisely Nazarick. In the end, I really do feel a bit sorry for her!
Thinking of this, Ellie smiled knowingly and shook her head helplessly. When did the daughter of the Great Demon become so sentimental?
Although Ainz Ooal Gown, the Great Demon King, now considered by most people in this world to be cold and bloodthirsty, is actually a cute creature, he is still feared by everyone on the surface, right? So, as the daughter of the Demon King, I must also present a corresponding image.
"Your Highness Elizabeth, I didn't expect you to come at this time. I apologize for not greeting you sooner." The Blood Emperor appeared at this moment.
For some reason, he looked a bit nervous. Didn't he usually maintain that confident smile?
Why is he like this now? Ellie felt it was a bit strange, as she hadn't done anything to him yet. This didn't quite seem like the Blood Emperor's style.
Naturally, Fluder, whom Ellie had called by name, also came along, obediently following behind the Blood Emperor. However, the Blood Emperor's adjutant was not present; it was just him and Fluder.
"Don't be so formal. Although the Empire is now considered a vassal state of the Magic Kingdom, Emperor Brother is still Emperor Brother, so there's no need to be so polite to me. I just came to relax this time, not for a formal visit. Let's sit down first!" Ellie wasn't sure if the vassal state document had been signed yet, so she could only use such ambiguous wording.
"Uh… yes… alright." The Blood Emperor responded unnaturally, then sat opposite Ellie.
The servants immediately poured him tea. At this point, Ellie noticed the Blood Emperor's gaze darting towards Arshe, then quickly looking away, feigning indifference. However, Ellie still detected it.
He must be very surprised why the former Black Worker is now Ellie's maid, right? And although Arshe's expression is still a bit stiff, she is trying very hard to appear confident.
"As for me! I didn't come here today for anything else, just that I haven't seen Emperor Brother in a long time, and I wanted to come and visit," Ellie said.
One of Elizabeth's conversation techniques is to first say some irrelevant things, make some small talk, and create a relaxed atmosphere for the other party.
Well, that's just on the surface. A guy as overly clever as the Blood Emperor would naturally misinterpret it and put pressure on himself.
"Haha! Then I truly thank Your Highness Elizabeth for taking the time to visit me amidst your busy schedule." The Blood Emperor's expression became even more unnatural. Sure enough! Say something with unclear meaning, and he'll overthink it himself.
"I'm not busy at all. My days in the Slane Theocracy have been as relaxing and pleasant as a vacation, and that's all thanks to you, Emperor Brother!" Ellie said.
Good! Continue to put pressure on him, then use other topics to lead into the purpose of my visit today.
"You… you're joking. I didn't do anything to help…" The Blood Emperor broke out in a cold sweat when Ellie mentioned the Theocracy.
"Well! You certainly helped me with that matter, Emperor Brother. Otherwise, the Theocracy would indeed have been quite troublesome!" Ellie said it was troublesome, but on the surface, she spoke with a lighthearted and cheerful expression and tone, making the Blood Emperor even more nervous.
"Oh, by the way, I have another matter for coming here…" Ellie deliberately paused, leaving her sentence unfinished, then glanced at Fluder behind the Blood Emperor.
"…" The Blood Emperor remained silent, but looking at his stiff expression, one could pretty much tell his current state of mind.
"My maid, Arshe, was one of the people you sent to cause trouble at my home last time, Emperor Brother. When I was chatting with her today, I inadvertently learned that she used to be a student of Old grandpa Fluder, right? So, another purpose is to let Arshe come and see her teacher," Ellie said with a smile.
The Blood Emperor first froze for a moment, then put on a smile again, probably not expecting that Ellie's other matter would be this.
