The two jailers were very good at reading the situation.
One grabbed the chains to strengthen the restraint, and the other removed the headgear and gag.
“Hiss!” The surrounding people gasped.
Alice scanned the surroundings, secretly thinking that things were bad; she had been exposed.
Due to the highly active promotion of the God of Love, most city-states had very heavy penalties for cheating.
To better disguise herself, Alice was very knowledgeable about human culture, morality, and ethics.
Oh, that’s not right, she had already been caught by the Inquisition, so what did she care about city laws? She was tired.
“Damn, she’s hot. Look at those pointed ears, is she a succubus?”
“Wait, is this person Alice? Alice is a succubus? Young Master Brown’s wife is a succubus?”
“Hehehe…”
“Why aren’t you talking?”
“Hehehe…”
“…”
The crowd discussed, and even some small heads controlling big heads had a change of heart.
“Alice?” Marton asked tremblingly.
Alice lowered her eyes and did not defend herself.
“You’re a succubus? How can you be a succubus? You lied to me for so long? Heh, the third young lady of the Brown family, heh, you didn’t want to be imprisoned by the Brown family, heh, you wanted to be the free wind, hehe…”
“You, you…” Marton was so angry that he even wanted to go up and smash this woman to death.
The deeper the love, the greater the hate.
“Hey, hey, don’t do it, don’t do it.” Hans and Jim quickly stopped Marton.
Linlin, who was mixed in the crowd, felt a chill down her spine for some reason.
Marton, overwhelmed with anger, didn’t calm down and collapsed on the ground. His two brothers quickly carried him out of the crowd.
Alice’s eyes narrowed slightly. The troublesome guy was angered away, and she felt that she still had a chance.
Although there were not many examples of human-demon love, there were still some.
If the love could move the God of Love, she would step in to protect them.
It was said that this goddess liked to break the insurmountable obstacles on the path of faithful love.
There was a saying in this world: if you truly love each other, fear nothing, just charge forward, just overcome, break through everything you can break through, and if you can’t break through it, just hand it over to the God of Love.
Of course, to have the God of Love protect Alice, a succubus, was a bit ridiculous.
But the point was not whether the God of Love would really step in, but to make these fools believe that their love was worthy of praise.
The frequent appearances of the God of Love had given many people a sense that no matter what kind of love it was, it should be given a glimmer of hope.
What Alice wanted to do was to incite these fools!
She couldn’t have made it up while Marton was still around, but now it was good.
Her face instantly changed to a pitiful expression.
“I’m really sorry, husband, for hiding it from you for so long. I violated my succubus nature, just to be with you for the rest of my life, but unfortunately… Alas…”
This sigh made everyone’s mood heavy.
Linlin in the crowd: ? Wait a minute, sister, those are my lines! Don’t you laugh when you say this?
Linlin clenched her fists, really wanting to go up and punch this woman a couple of times.
She couldn’t imagine that after this succubus was exposed, she would come back to Mavis and…
Who would believe her!
These succubi are full of lies! Linlin gnashed her teeth a little.
Mavis’s face was very calm, just listening to it as a joke.
She had heard clearly how this succubus had begged for mercy before.
She even said that she would be a cow and a horse and a s*ave to Mavis, which didn’t seem like someone who was faithful to love.
Mavis was powerful and had a calm expression, and Alice was a little disappointed, but seeing the expressions of the surrounding crowd, she regained confidence.
“Yesterday, a thief stole the Brown family’s extremely valuable top-quality repair liquid.
I saw that my husband was so sad, so I wanted to share his worries. But the thief was too cunning and tricked me into the city guard…”
The crowd fell into deep thought. They originally thought that this succubus was arrested for committing heinous crimes, but now it seemed that she was arrested for doing a good deed by catching a thief.
Under Alice’s affectionate tearful eyes, many people took on the perspective of Young Master Brown and softened their hearts.
“God of Love is above, great love can overcome everything.” Some people even shouted slogans.
Only Young Master Brown’s face was gloomy.
He clearly remembered that he said at the time, “A mere bottle of top-quality repair liquid, just let it go, anyway, we kept a suitable price. We can use this event to hype it up.
Even thieves are moved by the Brown family’s honesty, he’s not a thief, he’s just a poor man who couldn’t get the goods…”
This was obviously inconsistent with what Alice said.
The question was, why did Alice have to risk being exposed to chase this bottle of repair liquid?
Thinking of Alice’s demonic identity, and her frequent participation in the transportation process, and combining it with his special attention to commercial events.
A terrifying answer suddenly appeared in his mind!
Alice seemed to be transporting something amazing through the Brown family’s channels.
That bottle of repair liquid might not be real repair liquid, but something more precious.
Only in this way would it be worth Alice risking being discovered to chase after it.
‘Good, good…’
Young Master Brown’s hands trembled slightly, and he stared straight at Alice.
But Alice didn’t dodge, her eyes were tearful, and she told the story of how she met, knew, and loved Young Master Brown with a smile on her face.
Young Master Brown remembered the past, was slightly moved, and his expression hesitated a little.
‘This is just my guess, maybe Alice is really just sharing my worries.’
Mavis just watched quietly, eating small fruits while watching.
Everyone was immersed in the beautiful love story that Alice told, but no one cared about Linlin in the corner who was about to break down.
Linlin: She’s saying, all my lines!
Apart from the differences in the story, how to cry to make it more sympathetic, how to pause to make it more reminiscent… Linlin had specially researched all of this!
But she was sure that she was absolutely sincere, just to be safer.
But this succubus! She’s fake! Linlin smelled the taste of lies!
“Damn it! Damn it!” If she didn’t have OCD, Linlin might have started biting her clothes.
A person next to her nodded, deeply understanding her meaning. “It’s terrible that such a beautiful love can’t be blessed!”
Linlin: ? No, is that what I said? It’s that damned woman!
Alice told her story in the way that humans were most likely to be moved, and many people leaned towards her.
The main point was two things. She stated that she had never harmed humans and lightly glossed over Marton’s matter, saying that he was just a friend, but she didn’t know that he would misunderstand and cause some misunderstandings, and she felt very guilty about it.
These two points made some people who still had a little knot in their hearts begin to be moved.
Even Young Master Brown was extremely regretful.
‘I’m really crazy as a businessman, I would actually suspect my lover.’
Alice smiled slightly, feeling that things were stable.
As long as these people petitioned the court in the name of the God of Love, and the court communicated with the Inquisition, and the Inquisition verified that she had not killed anyone and had not done anything else illegal, she would have a high probability of escaping death.
Although Holderma didn’t welcome them, it would escort them to other friendly countries that wanted to receive them, such as a romantic capital.
Of course, you ask her if she really didn’t commit a crime?
She would only say that it was okay, she would run away herself during the review period.
As long as, as long as these people support her, everything will be fine.
Until…
The current head of the Brown family, who was also Young Master Brown’s father, this middle-aged man who looked very haggard walked out tremblingly.
He rebuked weakly, “Then what about the love between us? Didn’t you say that he was just to prevent others from gossiping, and we were the ones who truly loved each other?”
?
