Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 463: A Savior in Desperate Times

After hearing Lin Xiaos words, it was like Claire grabbed onto her last lifeline!

She gently tugged Lin Xiaos sleeve and looked up tearfully at Lin Xiao.

I trust you I obviously trust you! Claire bit her lips and did her best to suppress her voice.

Of course, she trusted Lin Xiao! If she didnt, then she wouldnt have begged him to help her!

Okay, then leave the rest to me.

Lin Xiao nodded and gently squeezed Claires shoulder to comfort her. He then cleared his throat and prepared to set out to battle for Claire.

Actually, Claire already did very well, it was a miracle that she was able to last this long with only one days worth of special training. So Lin Xiao still had to personally make an entrance. He didnt really want to butt in and was fine standing silently next to Claire, but he had no choice this time.

Hey, did you hear? It sounded like the princesss voice was trembling, is she crying?

She was probably scared really Barrett, why do you have to be so mean to a little girl?

What little girl? Stop joking! Shes the representative spokesperson for the king, how could she just cry whenever she likes?

It cant be helped, princess Claire is still a young child, so she cant take on the responsibility.

Sigh, really, she ruined this meeting!

Before Lin Xiao could speak, the people already started quietly discussing.

Lin Xiao was enraged when he heard those unpleasant cynical remarks. It was like a student that he personally taught was being bullied. Hmph, you should watch who youre belittling! Now that Claire is his number one student, bullying her was akin to smearing his face, so how could he easily let them go?

Maintain silence during the meeting, you can leave if you want to gossip! I wont stop you! Lin Xiao squinted and coldly reprimanded them!

It wasnt just the ones who were speaking, even Claire was startled.

Lin Xiao was still Lin Xiao but his atmosphere completely changed, his sleepiness was wiped away and it was replaced with a serious demeanor.

Elena, do you see? Lin Xiao is so handsome when hes serious! Perhaps this is why I came to like him hey, what about you?

Just a pervert putting on airs, how is he handsome?

Elena might have denied it, but her eyes betrayed her as she couldnt move them away from his back.

Was he handsome? If she had to pick, then he was a bit handsome, at least compared to other lowly humans, he was a bit better, but just a bit, a tiny bit!

Thats right, Elena would never admit that pervert was handsome and outstanding!

Hehe, Elena, you really arent honest, you clearly like him when hes serious as well, right?

No.

You clearly do! Stop lying, I can tell from your expression.

ShenDai Ying, you might be blind, dig them out and let me help you fix them.

Eh? Wouldnt I go blind if you dig them out, how would you fix them

But right now theres no different than if you were blind.

Hm, Elena, youre so cute when you insult people! No wonder Lin Xiao likes you so much hey, can you insult me some more?

Bitch, stop acting like that with me, scram!

Ah! so nice, Elena, keep going, keep insulting me!

Disgusting pervert, were you infected by Lin Xiao?

On one side, the two beauties were quietly whispering to one another while the meeting continued

Oh, no ones speaking?

Lin Xiao swept his gaze over those blabbermouths and coldly questioned them.

Who would dare say anything when being directly called out? He was the spokespersons advisor, his status may not be high, but his right to speak during this meeting was more than anyone else. As well as the fact that Barrett warned the others to not directly confront him, so everyone fell silent.

Okay, then its my turn.

Lin Xiao paused, and calmly announced to everyone.

Princess Claire is feeling unwell, so Ill take over for the rest of the meeting.

You?

Hardy glanced at him disdainfully, even if he had doubts but he didnt dare directly call them into question Just look, Claire didnt say anything when Lin Xiao was speaking, the corner of her mouth was raised like she was happy, so even an idiot could tell she really planned to give the right to speak over to him.

Okay, since princess Claire is feeling unwell, then its fine for you to speak.

Hardy spoke first then looked at Taike and he quickly followed up.

Right! But let me remind you Lin Xiao, dont forget your status! Your role is to help the princess speak, not to act on your own, if you say something wrong, then dont blame us for not showing mercy!

The princess has already told me all of her thoughts, you dont have to worry about that Hardy, Taike, if you two have free time, then you should use it to find the problems in your plan.

You! You stinking brat

Hardys heart was bleeding when he was reminded of what happened earlier. But Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, its fine if youre acting arrogant towards me, I indeed cant do anything to you, but lets see if you can keep it up in front of Barrett!

When Hardy thought of that, he crossed his arms across his chest and leaned back against his chair to watch the show. He wanted to see how Lin Xiao would deal with someone annoying that even Claire couldnt deal with!

Cough, youre Lin Xiao, right? Barrett finally spoke as he looked at the youth with a smile.

Yes, Grand Marshall Barrett.

You said that the princess already told you all of her thoughts?

Thats right.

Okay, then I really want to know what the princess thinks of my plan, does the princess agree to reinforce the frontlines and counterattack?

Grand Marshall Barrett, your ability speaks for itself and you know of the princesss determination to put down the rebellion, so our goals are actually the same.

If thats the case, then that means she agrees? Dont give me any more lousy excuses, no matter how you pick at it, my box is filled with documents to satisfy you!

Barrett followed Lin Xiaos eyes, but couldnt read anything from his calm expression and could only continue to press him!

Lin Xiaos answer shocked everyone in the room! Even Barrett himself couldnt believe what he heard.

Grand Marshall Barrett, we strongly agree with your plans, so lets do as you say!

What followed next was a deathly silence.

W-what did you just say?

I said, princess Claire agrees with your plan.

She agrees to reinforce the frontlines and counterattack the rebel army!?

Thats right.

Are you sure!?

Barrett slammed his hands down onto the table and stood up to glare at Lin Xiao!

It wasnt just Barrett, everyone else started whispering to one another and the meeting fell into a chaotic clamor!

Claire was also stupefied.

She wanted Lin Xiao to help deal with Barrett, not agree to his demands! Why did he just agree?

Lin Xiao, you

Claire thought he misspoke and nervously tugged his sleeves again and tried asking.

Lin Xiao didnt respond and just shook his head then quietly whispered to her.

Trust me.

Mhm mhm!!!
