"What is this request?" Elizabeth was utterly confused. Elizabeth, of course, knew… she was currently wearing a ring on her finger that the Platinum Dragon Lord had given Ligurit, which could increase her level.
This definitely couldn't be exposed, so Elizabeth had been wearing the Champion Armor's gauntlets as a cover the whole time. But the Platinum Dragon Lord asked to see her wrist, not her finger, so it should be fine, right?
Although Elizabeth was still worried that the Platinum Dragon Lord might notice something amiss and wanted to refuse him, how could she possibly refuse such a request in this situation? So, she could only let him see it.
"You can, but why do you want to see my wrist?" Elizabeth feigned the act of removing the Champion Armor's gauntlet, but in reality, she merely pulled the gauntlet down slightly to reveal her wrist, with no intention of taking it off completely. If she took it off, and the Platinum Dragon Lord saw that ring, it would be problematic.
"…" The Platinum Dragon Lord stared intently at Elizabeth's exposed wrist, not saying a word, which made Elizabeth feel a bit awkward.
Making such an inexplicable request, then staring fixedly at someone's wrist—could it be that you, Platinum Dragon Lord, have some strange fetish?
"If that's the case, then there's no choice… Ligurit, can you step back?" The Platinum Dragon Lord said, and then stood up directly. Previously, when Elizabeth entered the hall, the Platinum Dragon Lord had been continuously lying down, only raising his head to speak to Elizabeth. Standing up, the Platinum Dragon Lord appeared even more massive.
What's going on? There's nothing else strange on my wrist, is there?
The Platinum Dragon Lord's inexplicable words and his sudden action of standing up made Elizabeth very puzzled. She also looked down at her own wrist, and other than the magic bracelet she had just acquired from Bai Xia, there was nothing else.
Ah! Could it be! Elizabeth suddenly realized.
"Before that, I must apologize to you, Princess Elizabeth. Weren't you wondering earlier what request Bai Xia made? I can tell you now, one of her requests was to kill anyone who claims to be a princess and is wearing this bracelet!" No sooner had the Platinum Dragon Lord finished speaking than he swatted at her with a claw.
Elizabeth, who had realized earlier, was already prepared. With a flash, she instantly moved out of the range of the Platinum Dragon Lord's massive swat. Chao Lu and Nabe, who were beside her, hadn't even reacted to what had happened; they only saw that the Platinum Dragon Lord had made a move, and they all distanced themselves from the Platinum Dragon Lord, adopting a posture ready for battle at any moment.
"You stinky lizard! How dare you ambush Princess Elizabeth!" Nabe was the most furious. After all, Daddy Ainz's purpose in having Nabe follow Elizabeth was to ensure her safety. Now, this white dragon had, without a word, slammed a paw down in front of her. How could she not be angry?
"Calm down! Nabe!" Elizabeth, fearing that Nabe might do something foolish, quickly shouted at Nabe as soon as she stabilized her footing.
Facing the unknown Platinum Dragon Lord, if Nabe rashly attacked him, she would be the only one to suffer.
Moreover… I cannot let Nabe fall here. Whether I can safely escape from here next depends entirely on her!
"But! Princess Elizabeth!" Although Nabe was very angry, she still did not act rashly. At this moment, the Platinum Dragon Lord's second paw swatted over. Elizabeth still lightly jumped away. Twice in a row, Elizabeth did not retaliate.
"Third time's the charm! If Uncle Charles, you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm going to fight back!" Elizabeth stared at the Platinum Dragon Lord and asked.
"I already gave the reason just now. I am merely following her request from back then. Although you and I have no grievances, I… I must abide by my agreement with her, so I apologize." The Platinum Dragon Lord replied indifferently, probably having heard Elizabeth say she would retaliate! This time, the Platinum Dragon Lord did not continue to attack but stared intently at Elizabeth.
"Hey! Charles! Are you crazy? As long as the seal is maintained, she cannot escape from the time seal set by Sir Shaxna, so you don't need to keep that fellow's promise, right!" Ligurit also shouted anxiously.
However, Ligurit's words provided Elizabeth with another crucial piece of information: the first one to seal Bai Xia was Sir Shaxna, one of the Six Great Gods!
Hearing this, Elizabeth immediately resolved that even if she didn't take the Eight Greed Kings' Adventurer's Guild weapon, she absolutely could not release Bai Xia.
Although the original work did not provide a detailed description of the Six Great Gods, from their act of saving humanity and Sir Shaxna's final sacrifice, it could be seen that these six should still be considered good people.
However… this fellow was sealed by Sir Shaxna. Although the Eight Greed Kings were eight against one, Sir Shaxna only sealed Bai Xia instead of killing her, which sufficiently proves how dangerous this guy is.
I should quickly abandon this idea. Levels don't matter, equipment doesn't matter. Nazarick is already invincible enough in this native world; it won't be much to be without the Eight Greed Kings' Adventurer's Guild weapon. But having a powerful opponent would be troublesome. If it's just Bai Xia alone, it's still manageable, but who knows how many things are hidden in the Sky City behind Bai Xia! So, it's better to be cautious!
"Ligurit, you haven't directly dealt with her, so you wouldn't understand what a terrifying person she is. Although I apologize to Princess Elizabeth, today you must die here, for the peace of this world…" The Platinum Dragon Lord said with a very helpless tone.
"World peace… I am not so great as to be willing to sacrifice my life to fill this unrealistic pit of world peace, so please allow me to refuse!" Elizabeth replied with a smile.
At this moment, she was already considering how to escape. Of course… if Chao Lu was here, Chao Lu should still care about her safety, right?
This way, pulling Chao Lu out to make her fight the Platinum Dragon Lord would be perfect. Fortunately, Chao Lu didn't know that this bracelet was given to her by Bai Xia.
Hmm?? Wait a minute, the Platinum Dragon Lord wanted to kill her because he saw her bracelet.
Uh… The Platinum Dragon Lord just said to kill anyone who claims to be a princess and is wearing this bracelet. I just happen to meet such stringent conditions!
What a coincidence… Not at all! This was all Bai Xia's calculation, wasn't it! The bracelet was left by her, the letter of commission was also written by her to me! She also told me to find the Platinum Dragon Lord! I didn't expect this guy to have instructed the Platinum Dragon Lord to kill me upon seeing me.
This scoundrel! I was actually tricked! Although I don't know Bai Xia's reason for doing this, being played by her again made me extremely unhappy. What Elizabeth wanted to do now was to beat the Platinum Dragon Lord down, then pull out a marker pen, run in front of Bai Xia, who was sealed in the crystal, and write the character "meat" (meat) on her forehead, and then write the character "Positive" (correct) on her leg.
This scoundrel! I'm so mad! *throws pen away*
