"Hiss!!!"

Just as the evil prince said goodbye to the evil queen and boarded the airship to the Kingdom of Witches with his unlucky stupid son, the masked man in the Kingdom of Witches felt his hair stand on end and stood up from his chair with a start.

"Hmm?"

Because the masked man's actions were too sudden, the people in the room were startled by the violent movement and cast suspicious glances one after another, and the priest who was informing them of the ritual precautions subconsciously stopped speaking and asked with some confusion:

"Your Highness?"

However, the masked man at this time did not pay attention to the priest's inquiry, but instinctively looked in a certain direction, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes, which were clearer than crystal, without him realizing it.

He's here! He actually came!

Damn Li... damn Food God! Can't he just stay at his own home honestly? Why does he have to come wherever I am? He... he wouldn't be targeting me, would he?!!!

What's wrong with Your Highness?

Sensing that the masked man's expression was unusual and that he seemed to be afraid of something, the priest's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly walked over, wanting to check on "Princess Caitlin."

However, before he could get close, "Princess Caitlin," who had just had an unusual expression, calmed down again; after waving her hand to indicate she was fine, she reached out to lightly pinch the corner of her skirt, bowed slightly to the crowd, and explained with an apologetic look:

"Sorry, I just suddenly remembered some things, and my reaction was a bit too big... Sorry, Priest Victor, please continue!"

"Alright..."

Although he felt that "Princess Caitlin's" performance just now didn't look like she had remembered something important, but rather like she had been frightened by something, since the princess herself had already given an explanation, the priest had to suppress the questions in his heart, walked back to the center of the hall, and continued to explain:

"Everyone, according to the responses received so far, envoys from eight kingdoms will come to observe the ritual of Princess Caitlin's succession to the Great Witch King, which will undoubtedly be a quite arduous test for our Kingdom of Witches..."

Amidst the priest's preaching, "Princess Caitlin," who sat back in her chair, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, then reached out to adjust the mask on her face.

Almost exposed... by the way, why am I the one playing this princess? What about that woman, the Black Cat? No matter how you think about it, she should be the one playing this fake princess!

'She hasn't made a move.'

Just as the masked man couldn't help but complain in his heart, the snake-shaped pendant on his... or her earring swayed slightly, and a familiar, hoarse voice entered his ears.

'Ever since she took the sleeping cap of that lord from my hands during the last gathering, Black Cat has completely cut off contact with the society; no matter how I call, there is no response, and even the 【Law Book】 cannot contact her.'

So she, who was originally scheduled to "star" as the princess, is not here, so I have to play the role of this princess, right?

Through the White Snake's answer, understanding why he became the fake princess, the masked man couldn't help but disdainfully close his legs, assumed a "lady's sitting" posture, tried his best to maintain the persona of "Princess Caitlin," and then said with a very unhappy look:

'So where is Black Cat? I don't know how to act like a woman, you hurry up and find her and have her swap identities with me!'

'That probably won't work.'

The white snake-shaped earring swayed, and the White Snake refused with a firm tone:

"That lord's ability cannot be canceled. After the 【Bedtime Story】 officially begins, the roles of all the people in the story cannot be changed again; everything can only stop when the story ends.

Besides, you'd better not wait for Black Cat anymore; if I'm not mistaken, Black Cat probably has a problem, she has mostly betrayed us... and it's even possible that she wasn't on our side to begin with." 'Ah?'

Hearing the White Snake's judgment, the masked man's brain went blank, then he reached out to touch his earring and kept asking like a machine gun:

'Black Cat is a traitor? How do you know? Can't she accept the summons of the 【Law Book】? How could she be a traitor?'

'There are more than just us who have left our names on it who can connect to the 【Ten Descendants' Law Book】; the Ten Descendants of the Great Court can also do it, and apart from the three descendants of Earth, Ocean, and Sky, the Great Witch bloodline of the Kingdom of Witches can also do this kind of thing.'

When explaining to this point, the voice in the White Snake earring suddenly became slightly cold.

'The Black Cat at the beginning should have been the real Black Cat; the name on the 【Law Book】 definitely couldn't be fake, but the later Black Cat is hard to say; she was probably swapped a long time ago.

That real Princess Caitlin, whose whereabouts we couldn't find no matter how hard we tried, probably came into contact with the real Black Cat, found a way to kill her, and through the connection between the Ten Descendants of the Great Court and the 【Law Book】, quietly replaced Black Cat's identity and successfully mixed into us.'

What?!!!

Hearing this explosive news, the masked man was shocked, his fair arm wearing lace gloves covered his delicate lips unconsciously, and then he asked with a look of surprise:

'Then our previous plans, haven't they all been known by her? Then she...'

'The situation is not that bad yet.'

The White Snake answered in a cold tone:

(In the middle of looking)

'Even if she can replace the real Black Cat, bypass the screening of the 【Law Book】, and mix into our gathering, she still has to abide by the treaty of the 【Law Book】 and must never reveal our identities and plans.'

Tsk, not hit enough.

Looking at the human-shaped punching bag in the center of Joshua's bedroom that looked 80% similar to himself, Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and his right hand felt itchy after a long time.

And the freckled Prince in the room didn't know that two people had already sneaked into his room. After walking from the balcony back to the bedroom, he habitually spat at the Li Ang punching bag in the center of the room, then raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the face.

???

I haven't slapped you yet, why did you slap yourself? Could it be that spitting on my target gave you a sense of guilt?

Just as Li Ang was confused, Joshua, who slapped himself, had his eyes unfocused for a moment. At the same time, the hands of the 【Time-Difference Wristwatch】 worn on Miss Caught-in-the-Act's wrist also jumped forward to a future time.

It's this! It's this!

Sensing the movement of the 【Time-Difference Wristwatch】, Miss Caught-in-the-Act felt joy in her heart, then hurriedly patted Li Ang's arm, signaling him to look at the hands on her hand that had started to show errors.

Under her reminder, Li Ang, who noticed the abnormal reading, looked at Joshua's right cheek in surprise. At the same time, the freckled Prince, who had regained clarity, suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Ang, who was staring at him fiercely in the mirror cabinet.
