"Granddaughter of Guftav Dora." Tilly finished speaking when she saw the brat had no reaction. The brat actually showed no particular reaction to the identity of a minister of the Elf Kingdom. Wasn't she from Theocracy?
Although not a soldier or officer, she was still someone who could speak, right? If she caught a minister of the Elf Kingdom, whom Theocracy hated to the bone, shouldn't she be happy or something?
"The granddaughter of a minister of the Elf Kingdom, no wonder. Then, the next question, what's with that mist?" Ellie said, sighing as if relieved, then posed a question completely unexpected by Tilly.
This was too strange. This human brat, since she knew she was the minister's granddaughter, why didn't she continue asking about that? Although she was only a granddaughter, her grandfather had intended to train her as his successor, so her grandfather had told her many things about the Elf Kingdom. She even knew about the most important issues like military deployment. But why was she asking about the mist? And seeing her relieved expression after knowing her identity, it felt like she had known her identity beforehand.
"Regarding the mist, I only know that it's an effect brought about by a treasure of the Elf Kingdom. I don't know the specific details. I'm telling you the truth!" Tilly was indeed speaking the truth. She really didn't know about the mist.
She only knew that shortly after the Slane Theocracy and the Elf Kingdom broke off relations and went to war, the Elf King declared that he was blessed by the World Tree or something, and then the mist appeared. Her grandfather had only said that the mist was an effect of a treasure representing the Elf royal authority, and said nothing else. Tilly was afraid the brat wouldn't believe her.
"A treasure's effect, huh? That's within expectations. Then, the last question." Ellie directly squatted down, then leaned close to the Elf Miss, and asked in a low, mysterious voice.
"The last question is, if I tell you now that I want to eliminate the Elf King, what would your thoughts be?" Ellie asked softly.
Eliminate the Elf King? This question made Tilly even more surprised. These questions were too jumpy, weren't they? Why did it suddenly jump to this? And she was asking for her thoughts?
"What do you mean by that? I don't quite understand..." Tilly asked, confused. Regarding the Elf King's life or death, if it were about personal grievances, she would wish for that scoundrel pervert to die quickly.
But from an Elf's perspective, she wasn't too keen on seeing her King die. Although that scoundrel did have peculiar tastes, ever since he took over the throne from the previous Elf King, the Elf Kingdom had indeed improved compared to before. Of course, it would have been even better if he hadn't inexplicably broken off relations with the Slane Theocracy!
"That's what I mean. If you knew my goal was to get rid of your King, after you regain your freedom, would you try to stop me? Or would you report it to your Elf King or something?" Ellie said.
"This, I probably wouldn't stop you. From a personal standpoint, after all, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have fallen to this state, and Ti Du and the others wouldn't have fallen into your... hands." Tilly held back from cursing. For her personally, her current predicament was indeed caused by that scoundrel Elf King.
"Is that so? Then there's one last question," Ellie continued.
"Huh? Wasn't that the last question just now?" Tilly looked utterly bewildered. Had she misheard?
"Just now? Did I say it was the last question?" Ellie was naturally teasing her.
Tilly could only look at the damn human brat with extreme speechlessness.
"Bell, the intelligence magic defense is up to you." The brat turned her head and said to her attendant behind her.
"Okay!" The attendant looked at her with a very complex expression as she replied, then activated the magic barrier for eavesdropping defense.
After the magic barrier was activated, the brat mysteriously leaned close to Tilly's ear and asked softly.
"Do you know Anri... no, the Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom?" Ellie asked very quietly.
When this inexplicable question was posed, the attendant who had entered with her involuntarily trembled, her face unnatural, as if recalling something terrifying.
"I don't know! Although I am a minister's granddaughter, I have never heard of that country's name." She probably noticed that Ellie had her attendant prepare before asking the question, likely not wanting people from the Slane Theocracy to know about it. This made Tilly wonder, was Ellie not only not a soldier of the Slane Theocracy, but not even from Theocracy at all? If that were the case, what was the meaning of capturing her and interrogating her in Theocracy's military camp? Tilly was completely bewildered after realizing this.
