Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 450: Nick And I Are Not The Same

Eh? Why cant I go right now?

Cough foolish girl, are you going to go see him in your current state?

Whats wrong with ah!

Claire touched her face and remembered her ruined makeup and injured ears, she naturally couldnt go see Lin Xiao in such a state. So she quickly rushed over and with the help of a servant she quickly did a simple makeup and applied some medicine to her ears to stop the bleeding. Then she reappeared in front of her father with a refreshed look.

How beautiful! What a beauty! How could you be a tomboy? If anyone dares to call you that, I wont forgive them!

Hm, but thats what Lin Xiao always calls me

What?

N-nothing!

Claire sweetly smiled then clapped her cheeks to perk herself up.

Father, Im going!

I trust you can persuade him good luck!

Hm!

Claire excitedly nodded and clenched her fist, and was prepared for anything!

If Lin Xiao rejects her, then shell go to ShenDai Ying! If not ShenDai Ying, then Elena! Since she already decided on Lin Xiao, this time she has to succeed in bringing him back to help her.

With a decisive determination, Claire pushed open the door and was about to head out, but she heard a familiar voice coming from outside and she unconsciously closed the doors again.

Im Lin Xiao Im just a normal investigator. I came to princess Claire for important business, let me in.

Claire, whos outside? Is it Nick?

No, its not Nick, its Lin Xiao why is he here!?

Claire carefully pushed open the window and saw that black-haired youth through the crack. She was shocked and delighted as she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

What? Lin Xiao?

George was also surprised and waved toward Claire while trying to get up and it seemed like he also wanted to take a look!

Hey, come help me, I also want to look!

As Claires father, he naturally wanted to personally see what her great hero, Lin Xiao, looks like.

But Claire got anxious when she heard her father also wanted to take a look, for some reason she was embarrassed. Not only did she not help her father out of the bed, but she also rushed over and pressed him down into the bed and then pulled the blanket over him, clearly not wanting him to take a look!

Father, youre still ill, you shouldnt be moving around, so you dont need to look!

No! I want to look! Help me over!

No, no hes not some rare animal, theres nothing to look at.

What are you trying to do? Theres nothing between you two yet, and youre already starting to hide him?

No, Im not, stop it shh! Quiet down, it sounds like theyre arguing!

Claire indicated for her father to quiet down then she tiptoes next to the window to listen.

Lin Xiao? Never heard of you, who are you to the princess? What do you need?

Shes my friend, I came to discuss the rebellion with her.

Hah? Friend? Kid, what are you talking about? The guard couldnt react and after thinking about it realized that he was bullshitting!

They might just be normal guards, but they knew all the important people in the city and Princess Claire barely had any friends and they never heard of anyone called Lin Xiao.

Also this kid said that she was going to discuss the rebellion with the princess? Does he even know what hes saying, is this something you should brag about?

Its true. Im an alliance investigator, I was on a mission with Claire before.

Oh? Are you talking about the mission where they found the black core?

Right.

I see, so after all this time youre just here for connections get out of here, dont overestimate yourself, the princess doesnt want to be bothered, so leave.

Ah?

Lin Xiao scratched his head at the guards words but understood after thinking about it.

Since Claire was the highest ranking commander and often took missions with investigators, she would naturally meet a lot of them so there would inevitably be people using the mission as an excuse to cozy up to her.

So to the guards, Lin Xiao was also someone like that, so they looked down on him.

Lin Xiao didnt take it to heart and walked up to the guard and patted his shoulder.

Brat, why are you patting me? The guard was startled and thought he wanted to do something.

Calm down, I just wanted to say, look at this weather, its pretty hot, right?

It is The two guards looked at one another and didnt understand what the kid wanted.

Its such a hot day, so its not easy for any of us. I just wanted to ask why you wont let me in, just tell me so I can give up, right?

That

I wont lie to you, you really didnt come at a good time.

What do you mean?

It seems like the princess was bullied this morning, she was even crying. Right now shes angry so she isnt seeing anyone so, its best if you go back.

Uh really? Lin Xiao awkwardly scratched his head. The one who made Claire cry, was him, right?

I mean really! It was so scary. You dont even know, we even stopped Saint Nick from going in, not to mention you!

Hm? That pretty boy came by?

What? Pretty boy? Hahaha.

Nick that guy was indeed a pretty boy!

Everyone actually secretly hated Nick and thought he was hypocritical, especially to the ones beneath him. They hated how he kissed up to the ones above him and oppressed the ones beneath him, they just didnt dare to say it because of their status. Now that Lin Xiao said it out loud, they couldnt help but laugh!

Just because of that, I should help you make a report! But I really cant right now.

Why?

Just earlier, Saint Nick said he was good friends with the princess and just had to have me make a report, and in the end, I didnt even see princess Claire before she drove me back so I really dont want to go back in.

The two guards helplessly sighed. If Claire wouldnt even see Nick, why would see Lin Xiao? Even if they helped him, there was no point.

Think about it, Lin Xiao was just an investigator that went on the same mission as Claire, Nick was a handsome and elegant Saint! How could Lin Xiao be more important than Saint Nick?

Uh although this may sound arrogant, I can guarantee that as long as you help me report, Claire will definitely let me in.

I dont believe it how can you guarantee it?

Your princess is indebted to me, she will definitely agree to see me.

Puh! A-are you confused?

The two guards were amused by Lin Xiaos serious demeanor. They had thought that this kid was reasonable so they spoke a lot with him, but he started speaking nonsense again.

I recommend you go back, dont get yourself in trouble we dont want to use force, so dont force us. The two guards placed their hands on their swords and tried to scare him away.

To tell you the truth, Saint Nick and I are not the same. Claire hated Nick but doesnt hate me, I was the one she visited today morning.

Lin Xiao tried telling the truth to gain their truth but he didnt know that the guards already saw him as a lunatic.

How unfortunate to meet a raving lunatic on such a hot day.

Really, how unlucky, sigh.

The two shook their head but didnt know that Claire who was watching could hold back and ran out.

Lin Xiao!!!

Claire quickly ran to the main door and started pulling on Lin Xiaos hand before anyone could react.

Hey! Tomboy, why are you pulling me so hard!

Lin Xiao, why did you come? Sorry, sorry, these guards didnt treat you well, I didnt teach them properly, dont hold it against them!

Oh, its nothing, theyre pretty diligent, I had a nice chat with them. Lin Xiao didnt mind and shook his head then slightly smiled at the dumbfounded guards.

Really? Hehe, they are quite obedient anyways lets go inside to speak!

But I eh, w-why are you pulling me again!

Before Lin Xiao could respond, Claire already forcibly dragged Lin Xiao inside without any regard for intimate contact between genders, leaving two dumbstruck guards behind.

He was pulled inside by the princess

Yeah, he was even holding her hand

After they left, the guards faced each other and slapped each other to make sure they werent dreaming.

Who is that kid?

He said hes Lin Xiao, the princesss benefactor

Benefactor?

Yes, benefactor.

So we almost started fighting with the princesss benefactor?

Uh and were still alive?

They looked at each other and shivered and were thankful for being alive.

This job was just too difficult.
