Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 490: Not Without You

Caesar was faced with a difficult choice, whether he should follow Lin Xiao and warn and help him, or ignore it and head towards the frontlines to find the missing Holy Sword.

If he thought about what benefited him the most, then he should choose the latter.

The front lines were to the south and Lin Xiao went to the west, if they went west, they would waste a lot more time.

And information was time-sensitive. Although Caesar could use the information he has right now to investigate, it might be useless by the time he comes back. Also, there was no benefit to go find Lin Xiao, it was just a waste of time.

He wanted to accomplish something and be recognized by the hero, and if he went to see Lin Xiao and they found the fruit, then Lin Xiao would be the one having accomplished something.

So he should just mind his own business, at most he should just let Claire know and get her to deal with it.

Caesar, why dont we hm

To accommodate Caesars anxiety and competitiveness, she would suggest just ignoring Lin Xiao. But Rosie doesnt want to just leave someone to die!

She might argue with Lin Xiao all the time, but thats all in good fun and they actually had a great relationship, she truly thought of him as a good friend.

And she believed that Caesar felt the same way!

Their friend was in trouble and needed their help, so how could they just ignore him?

But Rosie had no say in the matter, and it had to be Caesars decision.

Of course, she would be happy if Caesar was willing to help, but if he wasnt, she wouldnt object.

Caesar, what are you going to do?

Theres no time, we have to head out!

Caesar folded the document Claire gave him and placed it into his pockets. He then turned and picked up his pace.

Hey! Caesar, you

Rosie stood in place as she watched Caesar walk off. He wasnt headed west, but south, which meant that he was heading towards the front lines.

In the end, Caesar chose the mission and abandoned his friend.

Rosie sighed, feeling disappointed. Actually, she could understand Caesar. He always treated Lin Xiao as his rival, so there was no point in wasting this great opportunity to do something pointless. To put it bluntly, if Lin Xiao was really killed by the enlightened, it would be more beneficial for Caesar!

If Lin Xiao died, Caesar would have no more rivals and would naturally become the heros disciple.

What could friends do?

Caesars dream was to become the next hero! How could he be restrained by a mere friend and waste precious time?

Perhaps Im also unnecessary to you. but I dont believe it! Caesar, I dont believe youre that heartless! Rosie clenched her fists as she quietly muttered to herself and almost teared up.

Caesar finally noticed that Rosie fell behind and ran back to reprimand her.

Why are you still standing there like an idiot?

Wuuu Rosie felt bad but didnt dare get angry at Caesar, so she could only indirectly attack him, Its not like the sword is alive, what are you so rushed for?

Hah? What are you talking about?

Hm okay, okay, since you want to go, then Ill follow you but its far, we cant walk there, right? We should rent a carriage.

Rosie was scared when Caesar got angry and just decided to go along with him. But she never expected to have misunderstood him.

Rent a carriage? Why?

The front lines are so far, of course, we have to go by carriage.

Rosie, are you dumb? When did I say I was going to the front lines?

Eh? Werent you? Then why were you walking south?

Tsk, Rosie, arent you pretty smart, why are you suddenly acting dumb now? Im going this way to look for Yao Zi and Lin Tian.

Ah? Why are you looking for them?

Yao Zi has the wizards bloodline and is strong, Lin Tian is also vigilant. We can get along stronger if we bring them along, it would be embarrassing if we get finished off by the enlightened without even being able to save Lin Xiao.

But Caesar, if we go to save Lin Xiao, then we wont make it in time to find the missing sword! Then that precious information would go to waste! We might not get a better chance later on a-are you really going to abandon this chance for Lin Xiao?

Abandon? I wouldnt say that. We can keep looking for a missing sword, but once someone dies, we cant bring them back.

What!? Caesar, you mean

Lin Xiao is our good friend, isnt it normal for us to go help him?

Caesar shrugged and answered as it were obvious, it was hard to believe with how competitive he was earlier.

Actually, his thoughts werent contradictory and made sense.

Lin Xiao was his destined rival, so he must compete with him. If Lin Xiao died, who was he going to compete with?

If Caesar was a genius and destined to become the hero, then Lin Xiao had to be nearly just as outstanding, even if he couldnt become the hero, then he would have to at least become the reserve hero! That way, Lin Xiao can personally witness the moment he becomes the hero!

So Lin Xiao cant die before that!

Haha, Caesar, I finally understand what youre thinking! You idiot! Did you know? I almost took you for a bastard that would leave someone to die!

She was happy when she realized that his final decision was to save Lin Xiao and after she calmed down she wrapped around Caesars arm like a sloth.

What, getting all lovey-dovey again? Caesar might have sounded dissatisfied, but he still let her freely hang onto his arm.

Hehe, I was just thinking about how handsome my husband was, he may be a bit dumb, but hes kinder than anyone!

Ah? Whos your husband? How come I didnt know you were married.

Hmph, idiot! If youre asking then let me tell you, my husband is amazing, the fifth prince of Lombard Kingdom, the embodiment of nobility and courage!

Oh? Is he that amazing?

Of course, much more than you! I want to have a whole litter of children with him! Are you jealous?

Tsk, tsk, not jealous also, are you a pig, why are you having that many children?

Caesar didnt admit it and was actually jealous, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized something.

The fifth prince isnt that me?

Idiot, did you just realize!

But I never married you, how am I your husband?

Hm stinking Caesar, you dont get romance at all! Hmph, even if you arent right now, you will be! Im going to bring you back home for sure! Take that!

Ah! Rosie, w-why did you bite my ear?

The two were once again making a scene in the middle of the streets. Fortunately, Lin Xiao wasnt there, otherwise, he would have been complaining about their lack of public morality again.
