As long as I don't wear that outfit that looks like sexy lingerie and walk around the royal city, other styles are acceptable, probably.

As if she had memorized the location of the clothes, the maid standing next to the wardrobe took out a piece without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, would you please try this first?"

Perhaps because the clothes were very expensive, the maid was very careful in showing them, as if she was afraid of wrinkling them. However, Ella's expression gradually became strange. She had seen the clothes in the maid's hand before, or rather, it looked so familiar to her that it couldn't be more familiar - a student uniform dress with a dark blue base.

The maid explained the details of the costume to Ella with great enthusiasm.

"This garment was brought from the southern elven territory of Malborune. While seemingly plain, it's made from fibers gathered from the World Tree. It's not only breathable, but its magical defense is comparable to that of orichalcum-grade armor. More importantly, this unprecedented style will surely shine brightly on Your Majesty. Only Your Majesty can make this pure garment so powerful. If Your Majesty were to be seen outside, I'm sure it would surely create a sensation within the territory."

"I'm sure the noble young master will be unable to take his eyes off you."

"I think even women would be fascinated by it. Ahhh, I can't help it just thinking about it."

[Hey, wait, what do you mean by can't help it?]

Except for the maid who was preparing toiletries in the compartment, the other three maids were all immersed in self-absorption.

Ella thought to herself that she must really like this uniform.

Although the school uniform looked like ordinary clothes in her eyes, it was probably the first time for people in this world to see it, so it was natural that they would feel novel. Although the maid's explanation was exaggerated in some places - perhaps it was her true inner thoughts - it had to be said that school uniforms were also very popular on Earth. It seemed that there was not much difference in the aesthetics of the two worlds. Ella sighed inwardly.

[I'm a little curious about what the elves do every day...]

I remember that when I was in the Holy Academy, Iris also introduced me to a student uniform with a short-sleeved top and a short skirt. At that time, it was said that it was something that came from the elves.

[But Angelini said that elven women are good at designing clothes, so perhaps these strange clothes aren't a big deal? Since their aesthetics are similar, it's not surprising that they'd develop similar clothing. Given enough time, perhaps even convenient features like zippers will emerge.]

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

The maid holding the clothes looked at Ella with fear.

"Hmm? Sorry, I was just thinking about something else."

"How dare we ask His Majesty to focus on us? Interrupting His Majesty's thoughts is a crime worthy of death!"

She almost fell to her knees, but before that, Ella had already grabbed the maid.

Feeling the maid's slightly trembling shoulders, Ella sighed softly.

"Please get up first. I was just thinking about something trivial."

"Miyasa, hurry up and get up."

"Yes...yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

I always feel that the maids are making too much of a fuss, but if you think about it carefully, maybe it's understandable. It would be strange for ordinary civilians to be relaxed when meeting the king for the first time. But even so, I still hope that the maids can be more natural.

After coughing twice, Ella brought the topic back to the original point.

"Ahem, let's talk about the clothes. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to wear something like this?"

I said this to confirm whether the maids knew that this was a school uniform.

Changing from her previous timidity, the maid patted her chest confidently.

"Of course not. Any clothes will become sparkling when worn by Your Majesty."

[That’s not what I meant…]

"Your Majesty, would you like to try it? If you don't like it, we can choose another one."

"No, let's just follow your recommendation."

Since I've already said that the maids can choose, there's no reason to take it back. Even without the status of a demon king, going back on one's word is taboo - although there's something indescribably shameful about wearing a school uniform.

Ella's words made the maids' eyes light up instantly. In just a blink of an eye, the three maids on standby quickly walked to the mirror on the other side of the room.

"Your Majesty, please come this way."

"Eh? Why?"

"Eh?"

This time it was the maids who blinked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to put it on now? In that case, first—"

"No, no, are you going to help me change my clothes?"

"Um……?"

The maids tilted their heads, looking quite confused.

He must have taken it for granted that a servant would change his master's clothes.

Ella once again felt the urge to hold her forehead. Although it seemed normal to the maids, she couldn't accept it. You know, she had never asked Lotte to help her change clothes. It was too embarrassing to let strangers see her without underwear.

Especially the strange feeling of fingers rubbing against the skin will definitely make his image as a demon king collapse in an instant.

After tidying up her words, Ella, who was wearing pajamas, crossed her chest with one hand and put her index finger on her chin, pretending to think.

"Hmm... I can change myself, you just need to pick out clothes for me."

"How can this be? This is our maid's duty. It would be a dereliction of duty for us to allow the Demon Lord to come!"

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Dean later."

“How could this be…”

The maids looked like children whose toys had been taken away. Disappointment appeared on their faces, and their hair drooped down.

An inexplicable sense of guilt arose in her heart, and Ella scratched her cheek in distress, deciding to compensate the maid from another angle.

"But you can recommend some more clothes, and I will choose the most suitable one."

“Really?”

"Um."

"Well then, Your Majesty, how about trying this?"

Before the other maids, the mature-looking maid rushed into the closet and found a dress that looked very similar to the one Angeline usually wore, a dress with a blue base and white ruffles on the front.

It is also worth mentioning that it comes with blue and white over-the-knee socks, which looks just like Alice in Alice in Wonderland.

Before Ella could speak, the third maid denied it.

"How dare you dress His Majesty in a maid's clothes! Elim, don't get too carried away!"

Indeed, Alice's clothing is very similar to a maid outfit in some ways.

The mature maid immediately defended herself.

"This is a very popular style in the south recently, and it's not a so-called maid outfit. Your Majesty's golden hair will definitely suit this dress!"

"Compared to Elim's choice, Your Majesty, how about this? It's the attire worn by a special profession called witches. While there are no longer any who call themselves witches, their attire has been recorded in history. Legend has it that witches possess powerful magical abilities far beyond those of ordinary people. I believe that only a witch's attire can highlight your healing powers, Your Majesty, which are unlike those of ordinary demons."

The serious maid holding the pointy witch hat pushed her glasses up, probably feeling proud of her impromptu speech.

The maid holding Alice's costume snorted coldly, unwilling to be outdone.

"Hmph, compared to me, Lina, your choice is disrespectful. How can a mere witch compare to His Majesty's magical abilities? This fashionable outfit called Alice is more suitable for His Majesty."

"Hey, you two, I was here first, so I should be given priority, right?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry about them. Why don't you try on this witch's dress first? I believe that once you wear it, you will feel happy."

"Mine too!"

"And I!"

At the same time, the three maids pushed the clothes they thought were most suitable in front of Ella. The fanatical eyes hidden behind the clothes seemed to want to eat Ella in one bite.

“Hmm…”

Subconsciously, Ella took a step back, but because her back was leaning against the soft bed, she ended up falling onto the bed. Even so, the maids were still slowly closing the distance between them and Ella.

A warning instantly came from her brain - if she didn't find a way to calm the situation, things would become unresolvable. Ella quickly stretched out a hand to block herself and the maid and shouted.

"I-I understand! Anyway, I just need to wear each piece once!"

Ella's shouting stopped the maids, and the more mature ones looked embarrassed.

"But Your Majesty can only wear one piece when going out."

Unexpected power can always be unleashed in critical moments, and Ella is no exception. She almost skipped the thought process and answered immediately with one hand behind her back.

"Wouldn't it be fine if we just rotate it morning, afternoon, and evening?"

"Eh?"

"Oh! As expected, Your Majesty! I never imagined there would be such a method!"

[Ordinary people wouldn't do such a troublesome thing! ]

Ella screamed in her heart, but that didn't stop the maids from taking action.

The maid, wearing a monocle and looking very serious, put her knuckles to her lips and spoke in a tone as if she was thinking about something.

"But... Your Majesty, which one are you going to wear first? Isn't the witch costume better?"

"Lina! Don't get too carried away!"

"Your Majesty, would you like to try on this garment woven from the fibers of the World Tree?"

Once again, the maids began to approach Ella.

Finally unable to contain her urge to complain, Ella yelled while sitting back on the bed.

"You idiots!"

Finally, Ella tried on all the clothes.

Chapter 43: The Demon King Wants to Be Lazy

*Genesis 6187 August 13th 9:02 AM Eastern Demon King City

Due to the layout designed by the previous Demon King, the royal city of the Eastern Demon Tribe is no different from that of the Western Demon Tribe. The throne room at the center of the court, the living areas on both sides, and the towers used for soldier training, even the interior decorations are exactly the same, so that first-time visitors cannot tell which Demon Tribe they have arrived at.

In the past, some people proposed to make changes to the details, but because this was a city within a city built under the supervision of the Demon King, it was ultimately rejected by the top leaders. Of course, these were all insignificant trivial matters and were not recorded in the history of the demon clan.

Now, Ella was sitting at the table with her whole body tense. The anxiety in her eyes was like that of a prisoner about to be tried. Anyone who paid a little attention could see it.

“Thank goodness the maids left…”

Ella murmured softly.

"Miss Ella is too nervous."

"N-No, there's nothing I can do. Suddenly being asked to handle government affairs or something like that makes me worried just thinking about how it will affect so many people."

Like a deflated ball, Ella, who had originally stood up straight, lay down on the table and buried her head in her arms.

Thanks to Lotte's timely arrival, he was now wearing ordinary clothes, but he had to deal with government affairs. After a quick breakfast, he came to this meeting room. Although he had done similar government affairs before, after becoming a demon king, he always felt that something was different. It was probably something called a sense of responsibility.

Lotte, who was standing next to Ella, tilted her head and smiled.

"Miss Ella, just keep doing what you've been doing. Miss Camisia will definitely make everything as easy as possible."

“That being said…”

But even the most concise report is only partially understood by me, just like doing reading comprehension. I can understand individual sentences, but when they are all put together, I am a little confused. Too many annotations and professional vocabulary bury the core content, making it impossible to understand what is being said.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

"Your Majesty, may I come in?"

Camisia's voice came from outside the door, and Ella, who was lying on the table, immediately straightened her upper body. Although she felt that she still cared about these things at this point, Ella couldn't help but straighten her clothes. After everything was ready, she coughed twice and nodded.

"Come in."

With the sound of the doorknob turning, Camisia, dressed in a dreamy white dress, walked into the room. Judging from the piles of documents in her hands, there should be quite a lot of topics to discuss today.

Holding the documents in her arms, Camisia knelt and saluted.

"Good morning, Your Majesty."

"There's no need to bow, Camisia. And I've already told you before, right? Don't address me as 'Your Majesty'."

"But you are no longer the Demon King's daughter. Calling you Princess-sama will probably make others laugh at you."
