It seems I can make good use of this!
Seeing how Tilly cares so much about this attendant named Ti Du, could these two be in a relationship?
Is yuri culture popular in other worlds too?
Ugh... it seems I need to be careful. My unintentional words just now made both of them show very unnatural expressions. When I spoke with Tilly earlier, it was clear that Tilly should be like the Blood Emperor, a person good at using her brain.
But as soon as Ti Du was mentioned, she immediately lost her composure. I originally thought it would be very difficult to trick someone like Tilly, who thinks with normal logic, but I didn't expect her to have such a weakness. That makes it much easier.
Ellie started to scheme. So, first, let's figure out what kind of unspeakable relationship they have!
"Speaking of which, Sister Ti Du, are all your friends trustworthy?" Ellie ignored Tilly, who was still tied up and rolling on the ground, and instead asked Ti Du.
"These are all our comrades, all trustworthy. Please rest assured, Your Excellency. But could you please untie the Young Miss first?" Ti Du glanced at Tilly on the ground with a troubled expression, then replied.
"If I untie her, I'm afraid this Young Miss will jump up and bite me, so I'll keep her tied for now." Ellie glanced at Tilly on the ground and said.
"You damn brat!! I won't bite you! I'll kill you directly!" Tilly twisted her body, which was tied into a knot, and cursed, very displeased.
"Keep cursing, and preferably louder, so all the Theocracy soldiers in the camp come to see the Young Miss's current disgrace. That's fine too, then I can't be blamed for not helping you. That's it, Bell, let's go!" Ellie gestured for Bell to leave.
"Oh!" Bell also nodded honestly, but she had no intention of leaving. Having spent a lot of time with this Princess, she had basically figured out the Princess's modus operandi. When she says to leave at a time like this, she definitely won't leave.
"Please wait, Your Excellency..." Ti Du became anxious, called out to Ellie, then ran to Tilly and whispered a few words to her. Ellie heard snippets, but it was too soft and she didn't understand what it meant. In the end, she only saw Tilly nod with a very unwilling expression, and could basically guess what Ti Du had said to her.
"Can you really help us escape?!" Tilly asked with a very displeased face.
"No!" Ellie replied instantly. However, this answer made Ti Du extremely awkward, while Tilly had an 'I told you so' attitude, snorting and saying nothing more.
"Your Excellency, didn't you just say?" Ti Du asked with great difficulty.
"Isn't this your Elf territory? Why do you need to escape? Are you going to flee from your own homeland?" Ellie asked sternly.
"..." All the Elves present, after hearing Ellie's words, showed very pained expressions, and some even looked angry. This was exactly what Ellie wanted.
If Ti Du or Tilly, the two who could speak, were to still answer that they wanted to escape, Ellie's plan was to simply wash her hands of it, at most helping them get out of this military camp.
"It's all because of you humans! The damned Slane Theocracy invaded our homeland." Tilly said with a very annoyed expression.
It's true that the Slane Theocracy invaded the Elf Kingdom, but the premise is that if it weren't for the Elf King, that pervert, first abducting the Theocracy's precious Divine Human, the Slane Theocracy wouldn't have the leisure to create an enemy state in its own rear. Ultimately, it was the Elf King's fault.
"Before that, let me clarify one thing, I am not human. To be precise, I should be similar to you! Bell! Tell them my true identity!" Ellie once again put her hands on her hips and spoke with an air of 'I'm amazing'.
"Uh? You want me to say it again? Everyone... actually, this esteemed person before you is Princess Elizabeth of the Ainz Ooal Gown Magic Kingdom." Bell looked at Ellie somewhat timidly and said.
After all, they were currently in the Slane Theocracy's front-line base. Was it really okay to reveal her true identity to these Elves, whom she had only known for less than half an hour, like this?
"Tch! Princess indeed..." Tilly clicked her tongue in disdain, about to say something to mock Ellie, but Ellie didn't let her speak.
"Ti Du, kick her for me." Ellie ordered sternly.
Ti Du kicked her without question, and it looked like she put a lot of force into it.
"Ti Du, you!! What are you doing?!" Tilly was utterly bewildered, looking at Ti Du, with whom she had grown up, in complete incomprehension.
"No... I didn't..." Ti Du was equally bewildered, looking completely unaware of what was happening.
"Not awake yet? Give her another kick, Ti Du!" Ellie continued to order.
Then, as expected, Tilly was kicked by Ti Du again.
"You! You were behind this! What did you do to Ti Du! You made Ti Du hit me! And twice! Even my grandfather never hit me!" Tilly finally realized that the one giving orders was this inexplicable Princess before her.
"Ti Du, give her another..." Ellie still wanted Ti Du to hit her a few more times, but seeing Ti Du looking like she was about to cry, she decided against it. She couldn't go too far; she still needed to use them!
"Alright! For Ti Du's sake, I'll let you off." Ellie said with a very displeased expression.
"I'm truly sorry, Your Royal Highness. Tilly didn't mean any harm." Ti Du quickly came over to apologize for Tilly. After all... Ti Du, who had personally experienced the Princess's power, knew that if the Princess were truly angered, it wouldn't be a question of escaping or not, but a question of whether they could survive.
"I'm increasingly feeling that the minister's granddaughter should actually be Sister Ti Du, right? The one lying on the ground doesn't look like a Young Miss at all." Ellie deliberately brought this up again, and saw Ti Du awkwardly turn her face away.
"No, Your Royal Highness, you're joking. I... I'm just an attendant. Tilly is the Young Miss." Ti Du said somewhat reluctantly.
Aha! Still trying to hide it even like this. Although Ti Du's attitude alone isn't conclusive proof, it strongly suggests that there's definitely something fishy about these two's identities.
"Hmph! Then what are you, this Princess whose name I've never heard, doing in the Theocracy's camp! Could it be that the Slane Theocracy invited you as reinforcements?!" Tilly glared at Ellie, very displeased, and said.
"Sister Ti Du, I am here in the Theocracy under a hidden identity. Just call me Clementine here, no need to mind any etiquette, it's actually better this way." Ellie completely ignored Tilly and turned to Ti Du.
"Then what are you here to do?" Ti Du looked back at Tilly, who was still rolling on the ground, with a troubled expression, then turned back to Ellie and asked.
"For peace!" Ellie said a lie with a serious expression. To be precise, she was here to trick you Elves.
