Don't confiscate my citizenship

"really."

Hyperion said to herself with a slightly unsurprised smile.

"Aren't you surprised who gave me this snack?"

Lysandra originally thought that the princess's reaction would be more violent.

"I guess his name is Rocky McCarthy, right?"

Hyperion raised her eyes and asked.

"……Yes."

Lissandra didn't understand how the princess suddenly knew that McCarthy was coming, even though she didn't know about it yesterday.

Is there a secret code between the two of them?

Without saying much, the two of them shared the ice cream cake, cutting small pieces with a spoon and savoring them leisurely.

In this quiet bedroom, Lysandra and Hyperion chatted, talking about yesterday's trivial matters and some light topics.

Just as Lisandra suspected.

As long as she talks about McCarthy, the princess seems to be much happier.

"It's a pity that you can't escape from the palace now, princess. Otherwise, you would be able to see him."

Lysandra scooped up the dessert and sighed while feeling the sweetness and silkiness on her tongue.

"He will come to my rescue."

Hyperion replied.

"Princess, are you ready?"

Seeing Hyperion's resolute tone and decisive and quick answer, Lissandra couldn't help but feel that this was a sense of recognition that "it must be you".

Not at all like a joke.

Lissandra could only pray that McCarthy could really create a miracle and break all the demons' expectations.

"What preparation?"

Hyperion hesitated for a moment and asked doubtfully.

"You want to marry him."

Lysandra said uncertainly.

Even if McCarthy takes 10,000 steps back and creates an almost impossible miracle, the final result must be that someone has to marry the princess, otherwise the Fallen Lord will not give the princess freedom.

"..."

Hyperion's face suddenly turned red.

She lowered her head and sipped the wooden spoon very quietly, while the sweet, sour and refreshing ice cream melted in her mouth.

Lysandra found that the princess really didn't seem to think too much.

She simply thought about the step of hoping McCarthy could win, but she never thought about what she would do after winning.

It was at this moment of silence and Lysandra's gaze that Hyperion finally felt she had to say something.

"Princess……"

"If I have to act in a play with him, I will do it well no matter what it is!"

Hyperion raised her head breathlessly and said, interrupting Lusandra's words.

What a big deal, isn't it just pretending to be engaged with Lan Qi? They are already familiar with each other.

"Ok."

Lysandra patted the princess on the shoulder and sighed with a smile as if she no longer intended to tease her.

How she wished McCarthy and the princess could get their wish.

But the more she thought about it, the sadder Lysandra felt.

McCarthy's time was too short. For him, the preparation time was only two weeks. In the blink of an eye, the day of the royal ceremony was coming.

Qing Luo is not such a kind-hearted demon who would be willing to help this couple.

This love is destined to never end well, and everything McCarthy does will most likely be a moth flying into the flame.

Chapter 576 The painting Lan Qi wants to show to Hyperion

Six days later.

On the west side of Demon King City, in the magnificent manor of McCarthy on the Isle of Leith, when the sky was still deep blue, Lan Qi started his new day.

On the top floor of the mansion, his bedroom was a gorgeously decorated and well-furnished room. In addition to the sound of the waves outside the window, there was also the childish voice of the bedside cat boss.

"Today is your twenty-eighth day in this shadow world."

"The news from the neighboring Bliss Kingdom front and the Paulant Empire is not optimistic."

"As a little Lanqi, the only thing you can do is to use your attraction to fulfill your mission in the devil world."

Boss Cat started today’s broadcast again.

"Okay, Boss Cat, I understand."

Lan Qi tapped Boss Cat's head, walked on the carpet, passed through the spacious bedroom, and came to the closet near the entrance.

Choosing clothes carefully.

In the end, he chose a dark gray Protos-style suit with a silver pattern embroidered on the tie. It was perfectly tailored and looked both formal and solemn.

"A tribute to the legendary seal master Asksan, this dark gray coat is really nice."

Lan Qi's slightly smiling face was reflected in the mirror, his eyes shining with determination and desire for today's goal.

"Meow, he probably doesn't want to be saluted by you."

The cat boss jumped to Lan Qi's feet and looked at his appearance. He felt that Lan Qi's glowing demon posture and Askosan's style of dressing really looked like a cardinal.

It's a pity that Lan Qi is still too far away from a true cardinal-level figure.

"He has no problem with it."

Lanci commented.

"..."

Boss Cat didn’t want to take Lan Qi’s words anymore.

It only cared about the three of them's scoreboard again, poking at it from time to time.

[Popularity: 276→565/1000 (popular support rate and cohesion)]

[House of Representatives: 227→176/1000 (support rate of high-level officials within the Pollant Empire)]

[Military strength: 124→182/1000 (using the Horning Empire as a reference)]

[Finance: 236→323/1000 (the current productivity status of the Polante Empire)]

[Diplomacy: 115→232/1000 (diplomatic relations with the demon world and surrounding countries that have not yet surrendered)]

[Comprehensive odds of winning: 0.0013%]

Boss Cat now stares at it several times a day for fear of falling.

Thanks to Lan Qi's unremitting efforts, the odds of winning have finally come to numbers.

But it is still very far away from 1%, and even this distance makes it feel desperate.

Since Lan Qi left the Paulante Empire, [Popular sentiment] is still rising, and the rate of growth is getting faster and faster.

And the [House of Representatives] item is still slowly falling.

Perhaps because of the extremely successful diplomacy of the orc city-states, each city-state added a full [Diplomacy] of about 20.

At the same time, it seems that the alliance's [Military Power] and [Financial Power] have been improved due to the concerted alliance formed through diplomacy.

Since Lan Qi himself has not yet revealed in the demon world that he belongs to the Paulante Empire and the anti-vampire forces, the connections he has obtained in the demon world are not currently settled in [Diplomacy].

Twenty-eight days have passed in the Shadow World for a total of forty-five days. This progress makes Boss Cat worried.

Success or failure can be said to be today!

"Lan Qi Meow, we must rescue Xiubao!"

The little black cat warned.

Today's royal ceremony will be about Hyperion's freedom.

In addition to the big demons in the current demon world who will compete for the royal family's fiancée, the tenth ancestor of the blood clan, Marquis Ulises, also wants to intervene and want to marry off the remaining royal family of the demon clan.

The ceremony does not require painting on the spot, as it is time-consuming and difficult to predict the performance. Lord Fallen wants the great demons to choose their favorite occasions to paint, and hand them in before the ceremony is finalized. The paintings will be submitted to the sealed golden cabinet on the first floor of the Regent Hall of the Royal Palace, and she, Lord Fallen, will open the seal and present it to the princess at today's ceremony, allowing her to publicly choose her favorite painting.

Now it can be said that the chords have been finalized, and the ceremony will come to an end once the results are revealed at a ceremony.

When the princess looked at the painting, she did not know who painted it.

This is a blind audition.

At that time, Lord Fallen will naturally determine who the magic power on the painting belongs to, and determine the time when the painting will be completed based on the nature of the magic power.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to paint this time."

Lan Qi picked up the little black cat on the ground and said to it confidently.

"Meow meow."

The cat boss knew that Lan Qi had locked himself in his room most of the time this week, except for necessary meetings with the powerful figures in the demon world.

But it didn't see what Lanci actually drew.

After the painting was completed, he sealed it and, with the help and guidance of the ministers with whom he had a close personal relationship, he sent it directly to the sealed gold cabinet located in the Regency Hall on the first floor of the palace.

According to him, he wanted Hyperion to see it first.

Although the cat boss has seen Lan Qi's paintings, he was taken away by Lan Qi before he could examine them carefully in the Northern Continent. In the Southern Continent, he didn't even dare to authenticate them and ran away. This time he wants to take a good look at Lan Qi's creation. What grade is the artwork?
