Demi-human Girls Completion Manual

Chapter 319: 129. Benevolence is weak

When she was close enough, the man cleverly waved to his subordinates behind him, signaling them to step back so they couldn’t hear the conversation with Elizabeth.

Before Elizabeth had even opened her mouth, the man, who was the manager from the Hidden Affairs Bureau, already struggled to say with a forced smile,

“Your Highness, please do not put me in a difficult position. This is an order from His Majesty the King…”

Elizabeth looked at him, her expression turning slightly astonished, clearly somewhat incredulous.

“Do you realize what you are saying? You are my brother’s man; does he know about this?”

The man in black gave a bitter smile, still not daring to look up at Elizabeth, and spoke in a quiet voice,

“It was Prince Dexter who sent me here.”
