"Really? That's great!"

The little princess' eyes were full of surprise and she waved her hands excitedly.

"That way, we can keep seeing each other!"

Who is Claire? I don't know her.

Scream? I didn't hear anything.

When the little princess heard that she had a good brother, she immediately forgot about the good guard.

"no!"

Claire quickly jumped out to make her presence felt.

"His Majesty the King has stipulated that only Rain and I can get close to His Highness. No one else can. This is also for His Highness's safety!"

Jiang Li held up the student handbook.

"But it's not impossible to discuss. After all, for the safety of His Highness, we still need the advice of powerful adventurers!"

Claire's face turned green and she changed her tone instantly.

"Really, Claire?"

Alice looked at Claire with surprise.

Claire, who is so rigid and straitlaced, actually agreed to it. How did Brother Li do it? It's amazing!

"Well, but it can't be too blatant..."

Facing Alice's expectant eyes, especially Jiang Li looking at her kindly behind her, Claire couldn't say no anymore.

"Alice, you are like this."

Jiang Li leaned close to Alice's ear and whispered a few words in her ear under Claire's gloomy gaze.

"Do you want this?"

Alice was a little confused, but nodded obediently.

She placed her hands on her chest, brewing her emotions, revealing a pair of pitiful, clear eyes.

"Claire, I want to talk to Brother Li more. Please turn a blind eye to us, okay? Please, I love Claire the most!"

With a thud, Claire fell straight to the ground as if struck by lightning, her eyes rolled back and foam coming out of her mouth. It looked like she was about to die.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Lady Claire is dying of cuteness!"

As soon as Rain came to the side of the few people, she was suddenly startled and quickly called out to the guards.

Alice looked bewildered.

"Is Claire okay?"

"It's okay, she's just too happy."

Jiang Li touched the golden hair and comforted the bewildered Alice.

After being patted on the head for a while, Alice's face turned slightly red and her eyes narrowed comfortably.

"If Claire says anything again in the future, just do this and I guarantee she won't stop you again!"

"Yeah, I remember!"

Seeing the guards carrying Claire away, Alice thought she should be fine and nodded repeatedly as if she had learned something.

"Could you please not teach Her Highness Alice such strange things?"

Rain covered her face and almost collapsed. If His Majesty the King found out, they would be the ones in trouble!

Chapter 566 The So-called Shapeshifting Demon Clan

2023-06-01

"Alice, where's your necklace?"

When the two were alone, Jiang Li looked at Alice's neck.

It was smooth, white and tender, making people want to leave something on it, but the sapphire necklace from last time was not worn.

"necklace?"

Alice followed his gaze and touched her neck. She shuddered as she thought of something, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

"I heard that which noble paid tribute to the royal family?"

"Well, I originally intended to give it to my elder brother, but my elder brother thought that the necklace suited me very well, so he gave it to me as a gift."

Alice was a little shy and whispered back, "But it's not on me right now."

"Not on you? Where did it go?"

Jiang Li's eyes fixed.

There was nothing unusual about Alice, no signs of personality transformation, so she shouldn't have succeeded.

Why did the necklace disappear at this time?

"Last night, Rain told me that her father asked her to go home for a blind date with a noble young master, but her family was very poor and didn't have any decent jewelry. So she borrowed the necklace from me and will return it to me after the blind date."

Unlike Claire, Rain was born in a small town on the border of the kingdom, and her father was a noble there.

Having said that, their family is only strong on the outside but weak on the inside, retaining only the title of nobility. Their economic situation is extremely worrying. The reason why Rain is so inconspicuous is that her dress is a little too rustic compared to the nobles. It is said that the most expensive thing on her is the wizard robe, which she takes good care of, and even her staff is of inferior quality.

It's normal to borrow a necklace from Alice when you can't find any jewelry.

"Rain, can you give me the necklace you borrowed from Alice last night?"

So Jiang Li found Lei Yin and made a request to her.

"Necklace? What necklace?"

But Rain was confused.

"Didn't you borrow the necklace from Alice because you didn't have anything decent to wear on your blind date?"

Jiang Li was stunned, as if something was not right.

"I'm not on a blind date!"

Rain looked at him in disbelief.

"Who started this rumor? It's bad for my reputation, you know? And no matter how poor I am, I wouldn't dare borrow anything from Alice-sama!"

Unlike Claire, Rain truly serves Alice as her master. How could a servant borrow things from her master?

"Wait a minute, what were you doing last night?"

Jiang Li frowned deeply, as if he had touched a very sensitive part.

"I was very sleepy last night, so I went back to my room to sleep as soon as it got dark."

Lei Yin was still a little unhappy, but she still answered Jiang Li's question honestly.

"You come with me!"

Jiang Li took Lei Yin back to the top floor of the castle and met Alice again.

So why have princesses and queens been more likely to have relationships with guards since ancient times?

As a guard, it's normal to keep in touch with your master at all times, right?

When the two compared their statements, they were immediately surprised by each other's statements.

According to Alice, it was Rain who found her last night and borrowed the sapphire necklace.

But Rain said that she went to bed early and never went to look for Alice.

Both sides were in complete chaos.

"Calm down, let's check the time."

Jiang Li pondered for a while and asked Lei Yin, "Lei Yin, what time did you go to bed last night?"

"About seven o'clock."

Rain answered thoughtfully.

There is not much entertainment in this world. After dark, apart from having sex, all you can do is sleep.

"Alice, what time did Rain come to see you?"

"A little after nine o'clock."

Alice and Rain stared at each other.

In an instant, both of them felt deeply confused, and Rain even felt an incredible horror.

"By the way, when did the invader disguised as the Demon King appear?"

"Why are you sure it's a fake... around ten o'clock."

Alice looked at Jiang Li with some confusion, then replied thoughtfully.

"From a timing perspective, they happened one after the other, but is there any connection between the two events?"

"Rain, I remember you told me this before, right? The fake demon king suddenly appeared in the castle with such brazenness, and then disappeared just as quickly?"

Jiang Li did not answer Alice's question, but looked at Lei Yin.

"That's right, but the guards generally believe it was some kind of teleportation magic... So, why are you so sure it was a fake Demon King?"

Rain looked puzzled, totally unable to understand his train of thought.

"Hmm... By the way, is there any transformation magic in this world?"

"There's no such magic. Aren't you a great magician?"

"You can't force a black-haired adventurer to know too much, even though I am undoubtedly a great magician who can use the advanced magic Light of Saber."

Facing Lei Yin's suspicious eyes, Jiang Li remained calm.

"Then let me ask this another way. Are there any artifacts, magical items, or racial skills that can transform into someone else's appearance?"

"never heard of that."

Lei Yin rubbed her small head, indicating that she was unable to provide support.

"I have heard!"

At this moment, the little princess suddenly raised her hand.

"I once heard from my teacher that there's a race of demons called shapeshifters. Their true form is a shadow without substance. As long as they know what the opponent looks like, they can mimic it with 100% accuracy!"

"Could it be that?"

Rain shuddered with a look of disgust.

"It seems that this is the culprit!"

Jiang Li thought for a moment and then restored the whole picture of the matter.

"Judging from the timing, it must have sneaked into the palace, first disguised itself as Rain and stole the necklace from Alice, then disguised itself as the Demon King and arrogantly threatened to steal the princess."

Unlike Alice and the others, they still believed that it was the real Demon King who invaded the palace last night, so they did not associate it with the Shapeshifter.

But Jiang Li was different. He was certain from the beginning that someone was disguising himself, so he planned to enter the palace to investigate. He was certain from the beginning that the other party had the ability to disguise himself.

"But why did you steal the necklace?"

Alice still looked puzzled.

"This has to start with an unscrupulous goddess..."

Jiang Li sighed with a headache.

…………

Night gradually fell.

The sky gradually turned black, and two full moons hung high in the sky, symbolizing that this was a different world completely different from the Earth.

"Well, this won't work!"
