Capítulo 148: Demon Pawn

-----

Ellergest also noticed something weird going on with this maid. The girl with pink hair was less confident than the others, and being younger wasn't the actual reason. She was lying, and this old and experienced man was able to tell a bit, although as for me, I was completely confident in my analysis.

"You're lying." I said. "It is clear in your face. Why did you put demon blood in the Lady's wine? If you don't answer in 10 seconds I will strangle you to death."

"E-Eh?! You're just a kid! A healer at that, what can you even do- Ugh?!"

I quickly moved my hand towards the woman's neck, my hand was smaller, but its strength was recognizable. The girl started to gasp for air immediately. She was tied by chains so she couldn't even resist my hand pressing down into her neck.

"Nine… Eight… Seven…" I said, counting up to one, in which number I would kill her. I could easily pay for the damage, a maid was just a commodity for nobles, dispensable just like the life of a serf.
