Chapter 616 World 74
Although she was mentally prepared, Stella still unleashed a light magic spell the moment Charlie appeared.
Charlie dodged to the side, and Stella's second and third attacks followed.
Charlie still took the hit of the Light Magic spell, and felt extremely uncomfortable all over his body.
At any other time, Charlie would have made those who dared to lay a hand on him pay the price, but unfortunately, it was Stella who did it.
Charlie had no choice but to hold back and introduced himself once again: "Excuse me so late at night, I am Charlie from Miss Catherine's side."
“I don’t care who you are,” Stella said, holding her wand. The small ball of light magic at the tip of the wand grew increasingly dazzling, illuminating Charlie’s ugly face clearly.
"You sneaked into my room in the middle of the night without saying hello, and you expect me to be nice to you?"
"Go wash up and go to sleep. Anything can happen in your dreams."
Stella's move was even more powerful than before, and Charlie dared not be careless. He transformed into a bat and flew directly to the rooftop, barely managing to avoid it.
“I’m sorry, Miss Stella, but I had no choice but to resort to this method because you refused to see me during the day.”
Seeing that Stella refused to communicate, Charlie threatened, "Miss Stella, you fabricated your identity to come to Miss Catherine's side. I wonder if Miss Catherine will still consider you a close friend after she finds out?"
“Miss Catherine hates deception the most.”
Stella gave a soft hum, glanced at the mirror placed in the corner, and their eyes met those of Catherine reflected in it.
"I have no idea. What identity did I fabricate? Tell me."
"If you don't speak well, believe me, I have plenty of ways to make sure you can't leave this room."
Stella spoke softly, yet uttered the harshest words.
“I thought Miss Stella was the gentlest of all, but I never expected her to be such a fiery little firecracker,” Charlie said, in his usual flippant manner.
Stella didn't even lift her eyelids. With a flick of her wand, she sent a light whip lashing across Charlie's face, leaving a black mark.
Stella gripped her wand, her smile still carrying a hint of threat: "If you can't speak, I can teach you properly on behalf of your elders, no thanks required."
Charlie was surprised that she could move so fast that he didn't even have time to react. He was startled and became much more obedient.
"As far as I know, Miss Stella and Miss Catherine hit it off immediately and were old acquaintances."
Charlie finally got to the point: "Although it may not sound very nice, out of concern for Miss Catherine, I had someone investigate and learned something interesting."
Stella sat opposite the mirror, completely unresponsive to Charlie's words.
Her reaction was unexpected by Charlie, but since things had already gone this far, he could only continue.
"Miss Stella's public identity is that of a magician. She first appeared in the public eye on the outskirts of the Elf Forest."
"After you left the Elf Forest, you traveled through a magic circle all the way to the capital of the Xuean Empire, where you met Miss Catherine."
"As far as I know, elves and fairies have a habit of traveling the continent after reaching adulthood, so your true identity is easy to guess."
"That's it?" Stella tilted her head. If that was all, she would be very disappointed with the abilities and information channels of the rebels.
“Of course not,” Charlie said. “Miss Catherine thought that the Stella she knew was the newborn little fairy Stella.”
"However, as far as we know, there is only one Stella between the elves and fairies combined."
"Are you right, the Elf King's treasure?"
"And then?" Stella seemed satisfied with the title "treasure of the Elf King," but on the surface, she appeared to completely misunderstand his meaning and even yawned with a hint of boredom.
Charlie frowned, feeling that things seemed to be going beyond his expectations.
"You are clearly Stella, the fairy by the side of the Elf King, yet you pretend to be a little fairy to deceive Miss Catherine's trust and friendship."
"Your first appearance at Eugene's house was so abrupt; only the Elf King could have done it."
"The Elf King must have some scheme in mind for sending you out to get close to Miss Catherine, right?"
"If Miss Catherine finds out about your deception and harbors resentment towards you, how do you plan to explain this to the Elf King?"
"Explain?" Stella's eyes showed understanding. "Someone once told me that people with heart conditions see everything as dirty."
"Even though you're not human, but a vampire, you can't escape this law."
Stella sighed, "I don't even know what I need to explain. Why don't you tell me?"
“Oh, right,” Stella said, looking at Catherine, who was staring blankly in the mirror, “he said I lied to you by pretending to be someone else.”
"Catherine, did I lie to you?"
"What?" Charlie instantly moved to Stella's side and immediately saw Catherine sitting properly in the mirror.
By this point, how could he not realize that he had been tricked by Stella?
In truth, he was not unaware that what he had acquired was somewhat superficial, and that he could only gamble on Stella's naiveté as an elf and how much she valued her friendship with Catherine.
But if they successfully use this incident to threaten Stella, it means they can use Stella to do many things.
Stella, in particular, is the fairy who is closest to the Elf King.
If used properly, the elves have almost no secrets from them.
The rebels discussed it internally for a long time and investigated it thoroughly, but apart from these issues, they couldn't find any other points to exploit.
After all, Stella appeared so infrequently that they didn't even receive the news at first, and there wasn't time to do anything else.
The only things we can grasp are the abruptness of Stella's appearance at Eugene's house and the fact that Stella, despite being a fairy who was once a friend of Daniel Eugene and served by the Elf King, concealed this from the Eugene family and only claimed to be an ordinary little fairy.
Charlie's initial plan wasn't to get straight to the point like this. He was supposed to threaten and intimidate Stella, leaving her bewildered and unable to think clearly, before revealing the truth.
Stella doesn't follow the rules and doesn't listen to his nonsense at all.
Charlie's smile grew increasingly stiff, and he almost lost his composure.
Catherine in the mirror finally spoke: "Of course not, Stella, you've never lied to me about anything."
After saying that, Catherine looked at Charlie with a hostile gaze: "Charlie, what were you planning when you broke into Stella's room at night, fabricated lies, and tried to make Stella admit to something that didn't happen?"
"Or is this your idea, or the idea of those behind you?"
Catherine scoffed, "I originally thought you were genuinely interested in cooperating with me, but it seems that's not the case."
Charlie had to defend himself, of course, but Catherine's cold face made it impossible for him to continue.
"Leave Stella's room and remove your personnel who are monitoring Stella."
Catherine's eyes flashed with coldness: "Charlie, if you wish to come and keep Romeo company and become my servant, I would be more than happy to welcome you."
Catherine's collaboration with the rebels will continue. Charlie has angered her, so she makes a small request, which she believes the rebels will definitely not refuse.
Charlie, of course, didn't want to, so he wisely apologized and went back to where he came from.
After he left, Catherine looked at Stella again, with a lot to say but not knowing where to begin.
“Stella,” Catherine finally asked after a long pause, “that… the teacher you’ve been talking about, is it the Elf King?”
