Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 505: Great Detective Caesar

Princess Claire, why are you here?

Deborah subconsciously called out and quickly walked over, but noticed something off. Other than Claire in lead, there were three other strange youths that looked anxious.

Are you the manager here?

Yes, Im Deborah Princess Claire, weve met multiple times, how come you dont recognize me?

Because it was night and the light was dim, Deborah didnt notice that it wasnt Claire even though she was quite close.

Uh Im not Claire, you have the wrong person. The other party purposely lowered the voice to show their obvious male voice and took another step forward to show his face to Deborah.

No?

Deborah carefully inspected his appearance and realized that this person looked similar to Claire but was a man!

T-then who are you?

Im Caesar, Lombard Kingdoms fifth prince, shes Rosie, and these two are my companions, Yao Zi and Lin Tian

Prince Caesar? Oh, so its you guys

Deborah may not have met them before, but she has heard of them, especially Caesar and Rosie who were leading.

More importantly, she already heard that Caesar and Claire looked alike, and now that shes met him, her eyes were really opened! If he put on some womens clothing, used some pads, and applied some makeup, then everyone would think he was Princess Claire!

Oh no, theyll see through it, because Claire is extremely flat, so if Caesar used pads, anyone will see through it!

Cough sorry, I accidentally mistook you for someone else.

Its fine, youre not the first person to do so.

Uh thats quite unfortunate.

Deborah could even guess the awkward misunderstandings that Caesar experienced.

So then Prince Caesar, what are you doing here so late?

Were here for Lin Xiao, have you seen him?

Lin Xiao? Of course, I have, he was here in the morning, but hes already left.

That quickly? So did he already get the fruit and hes heading back?

No, he went to the plague zone?

Plague zone? Why?

You just mentioned it earlier for the sacred crystal fruit. Deborah was confused by Caesars questions and asked back in return, Who are you to him and what are you looking for him for?

Were his friends and were looking for him to save him!

Save him? Is he in danger?

Still not sure but if something were to happen, it would be too late, so we have to find him first!

Uh, you guys

Deborah was speechless as she looked at the four of them. Today was really abnormal, first came a normal-looking boy who was actually Gothams dragon, then came four youths who ran their mouths about danger, saving, like the sky was going to collapse, how strange.

If it wasnt for Caesar and Rosies reputation, Deborah would have never believed them. Taking a step back, even if Lin Xiao was in danger, with his strength and smarts, how many people can hurt him? It was completely groundless fear.

Though that being said, Deborah was sure he wasnt joking based on his sincere manner, so she prudently told him the truth.

What? The fruits vanished so Lin Xiao personally went to the plague zone to look for them?

Sigh it was all because of Bacons carelessness that he lost the fruits.

Wait, are you sure they werent stolen?

Yes, Im sure.

How could there be that much of a coincidence Deborah, can you take me to Bacons room?

Caesar didnt feel like things were that simple, so he wanted to personally take a look.

Deborah didnt really want to help, it was the middle of the night and they should be asleep so no one wanted to play detective with him. And this wasnt some odd case it was just some missing fruits that were worthless, so was there a need to make such a big deal of it?

But Caesar was insistent on going and Deborah couldnt convince him so she could only reluctantly agree seeing as he was Lin Xiaos friend.

Caesar was doing it for Lin Xiaos safety after all, and now that Deborah was the appointed matchmaker, she had to manage all things related to Lin Xiao. So she called Gerrard over and brought them to Bacons room.

Yawn I say, Prince, what is there to look at? Gerrard yawned and complained.

Deborah was still up, but Gerrard was called up just after heading to sleep, so of course he was full of complaints.

At first, Rosie also thought that Caesars demands were a bit too much, they already said it was lost and not stolen, so he should at least wait until the morning, but Caesar didnt care and insisted and investigated, which was different than his usual gentlemanly demeanor.

But, Rosie could understand him. Since this was related to Lin Xiaos safety, they couldnt delay, so they had to do something before a tragedy happens!

Look, the door and windows had no signs of being broken into.

Copying a key is simple lets go in to take a look.

Sigh, okay, okay yawn.

Gerrard yawned while unlocking the door, then he brought them into a corner and stopped next to a large metal rectangular box.

This is Bacons safe look, its pure steel! It cant even be cut open!

While Gerrard was explaining he even kicked the safe a couple of times, all that could be heard was a couple of heavy thumps, and you could tell how hard and heavy the safe must have been.

Prince, come, please take a close look Gerrard squatted next to the safe and pointed to the lock.

The outside of the safe is undamaged and so is the lock, how could it have been theft? Also, this safe was gifted to Bacon by his father, so it uses the best double circuit lock, high-end stuff that normal people cant even use. So it cant be opened other than with Bacons lock! So do you get it?

Hm was I too sensitive, was it really not theft?

The investigation didnt even start yet and it was about to be over as Caesar fell into self-doubt

Gerrard predicted this and muttered, How could it be theft, made a fuss out of nothing. while beckoning to Deborah and got ready to go back to bed.

Rosie on the other hand stared at the lock for a while and suddenly thought of something, so she smirked and dragged Gerrard back!

High-end good? Hmphhm, is that even a thing in front of me Rosie Childe? Uncle, do you believe that I can open this box up right now?

Brat, dont talk nonsense! Bacon has the key with him, how can you open it?

Of course I can, using the key in your hand!

This one? This is the rooms key, not the safes key, the shape might be similar, but you cant interchangeably use them.

Hmph, I can!

Rosie snatched the key from Gerrard and carefully inserted it into the keyhole.

Watch closely, Im going to open it for you!

Dont be dumb, this is an enhanced seal, even if you make a copy of the same key, without the original magic engravings, you cant open it, you

Just as Gerrard was confident of it, Rosie smiled and gently twisted the key.

Click.

The safe actually opened!
