"Everyone...? Won't that upset the nobles who already have a contract?"

"As long as we explain the reasons clearly, no one will be dissatisfied."

Camisia stood up from the table, put her hand to her lips and thought, which was rare, pacing back and forth.

"The princess's health is the most important thing. Everything else must come second. The nobles will undoubtedly understand and support this. If the target is the Demon King, all the demons will share my sentiments. Lady Ruthie, don't worry about that. I am more concerned about what to do next. The most urgent task now is to free the princess from the role of 'Demon King'. For the princess right now, if all her schedules were canceled in an instant, she would probably feel even more uneasy. She would feel like she has so much to do and worry about the responsibilities she has shirked."

Although Camisia had never experienced it, she could probably imagine the feeling. Once she identified herself with a certain role, she would subconsciously think about the obligations she had assumed and the consequences of not fulfilling them.

It's like an office worker who suddenly loses his job and has to rest at home. The feeling of being uneasy no matter what he does is probably enough to make him unable to sleep. The only difference is that if an office worker doesn't work, he will have no source of income, while if Ella doesn't do anything, it will affect the lives of a large number of ordinary people, and the psychological burden will be heavier.

So the most important thing now is to get Ella out of the role of the Demon King. Of course, this doesn't mean that Ella should step down from the position of Demon King. What Camisia means is to create an atmosphere that makes Ella feel that she is working hard, but in fact she will not feel any pressure.

Lotte said worriedly, following Camisia who was pacing around the room.

"Can't we allow the princess to leave the royal city temporarily?"

"Leaving the royal city? Do you have any good ideas, Lord Ruti?"

"Back in the labyrinth, Ms. Ella mentioned wanting to go to a place called Yoyo Island, but she never had the time, so she never mentioned it again."

Hearing Lotte's final words, "There's no time," Camisia felt even more guilty. Her expectations had become a burden to the princess, which was not the result she wanted to see. Perhaps the princess preferred a relaxed and free life to becoming a demon king admired by everyone. For a moment, Camisia even began to doubt the legitimacy of bringing Ella back to the demon territory.

"Yoyo Island... that's a floating island in the south, right? Remember, there's a custom of respecting women on that island, and it's secluded from the outside world—well, let's follow Lord Ruthie's advice, but before we go, we'll tell the princess we're investigating the island. That way, she won't dwell on the affairs of the nobles within the domain. Also, since there's nothing to investigate on the island, she won't face any new pressure. Lord Ruthie, I'll leave it to you to help the princess relax."

"Miss Camisia isn't going?"

"I really can't face the princess right now. Besides, I have to deal with things while the princess is away. Now is the time when there are the most trivial matters. If I leave it all to Dean, even I would feel a little guilty."

Camisia gave a helpless smile.

"As for how to get there, we'll use a magic airship. Yoyo Island is in the southern Earldom of Lyon. With the magic airship operating at full speed, it'll only take half a month at most—no, half a month is still too long. Let's just use a teleportation scroll."

"Do I need to ask Miss Ella to conceal her identity before we go? I think going as a demon king might backfire."

"Well, I'll leave the details to Lord Lotte."

Having calmed down somewhat, Camisia walked to the table, picked up the boiling kettle, and filled it for herself and Luty.

"Is there anything else going on, Lord Ruthie?"

"No, I thought I'd have a long chat with Miss Camisia before coming here, so I've already taken care of everything in advance."

Ludy picked up the teacup and breathed a sigh of relief. The thing she was most worried about had been resolved, and she now felt unconsciously relaxed.

Lotte's words made Camisia relax her brows. She leaned forward, and a rare embarrassed expression appeared on her serious face.

"In that case, could you please tell me about the time when Lady Ruthie first met the princess? I've heard it once before, but it still leaves me wanting more."

"If Miss Camisia wishes."

Responding to Camisia's request with a smile, Luty began to tell the story of when she first woke up from her bed in Ryan Town.

*Genesis 6187 August 17th 9:01 AM Eastern Demon King City

As if countless hands were pulling at her body, Ella opened her heavy eyelids and immediately sat up in bed.

"It's already nine o'clock..."

Although there were no noble-related matters in the morning, there was a task to complete in the maze to upgrade, not to mention the need to review etiquette and conversation skills to prevent any gaffes in the afternoon.

But Ella soon realized that something was wrong. She had already instructed the maids on duty to tell the next shift of maids to remind her to get up at dawn in the morning, but now the status bar interface in her mind showed that it was already nine o'clock. If she had to say, this was probably the maids' dereliction of duty. But Ella didn't think that the maids would forget what they were supposed to do. They were always full of energy.

Glancing around the room, Ella immediately noticed something different than usual—there was no maid in the corner of the room, and the "Topography Search" also showed that she was the only one in the room.

"Is there something else going on..."

Without the admiring gazes, Ella felt unexpectedly relaxed. She stretched herself and began to get dressed and wash up. Although she wanted to sleep for a while, she had an appointment after all, and breaking it would not be a good thing.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

"Ms. Ella, are you awake?"

"Eh? Lotte? Shouldn't you be in the palace at this hour?"

"Because of a sudden change of plans, I'm here to inform Miss Ella."

There was nothing strange in the voice, so Ella walked quickly to the door in her slippers and opened it.

As usual, Lotte appeared in front of him today in a short-sleeved maid outfit.

"Lotte, come in first."

"Okay, Miss Ella."

Although the bed was still a mess, it was better than letting Lotte stand outside the door. Ella scratched her messy blonde hair embarrassedly.

"The maid on duty seems to be busy, so things might be a little chaotic..."

"Leave it to me to sort it out."

"It feels a bit strange that I haven't had Lotte tidy up in a while..."

"From today on, I will be responsible for Ms. Ella's life."

Pulling both ends of the quilt with both hands, Lotte shook it vigorously to spread it out, her tone sounding as if she was saying something that was a matter of course.

Ella was stunned for a moment as she looked at Lotte.

"Eh? Doesn't Lotte have a lot of things to do?"

"But that was yesterday, right? Miss Camisia changed Miss Ella's schedule because of some new discoveries."

"Change...the itinerary?"

"Well, Ms. Ella, we need to start preparing now. We'll be heading to Yoyo Island after noon."

“Eh? Ehhhhh!!?”

Fortunately, the guards in the corridor had been sent away by Lotte, otherwise the knights would definitely think that Ella had been assassinated.

Chapter 49 Two Floating Islands

*Genesis 6187 August 17th 14:22 PM Eastern Demon Tribe Lyon Earldom

Although she still couldn't understand what had happened, since Ruthie said to pack her luggage, Ella subconsciously did as she said. It was not until after noon that Ella figured out the whole story - of course, Ruthie only told Ella the part she knew.

Appearing in the deserted wilderness as a magic caster, Ella checked the terrain search to see if there were any people nearby while looking at Lotte, who was standing on a nearby rock.

"So, the original itinerary has been replaced by a new mission, and we're now going to inspect Yoyo Island, right?"

"Well, Miss Camisia believes that it's not a good thing for Yoyo Island, located high in the sky, to remain out of the control of the demons for a long time, so she hopes that Miss Ella can go there."

"Does going there mean conquering Yoyo Island? Why didn't you hand it over to someone else..."

What happened was so sudden that Ella felt a little strange.

However, Lotte was clearly fully prepared and was not shaken by Ella's question, answering with a smile.

"Because Miss Camisia believes that Miss Ella needs to personally contact the subjects outside the royal capital. As for taming them, I think Miss Ella will understand once we reach Yoyo Island."

There are only a few other races on Youyou Island besides the demons. There is no intention of rebellion there, so there is naturally no such thing as conquering them. Therefore, Ella went there just to relax.

Although she felt guilty about deceiving Ella, it was also for Ella's health, so Lotte could only suppress the urge to tell Ella the real reason.

"Is that so... Then let's start by carving the teleportation magic circle."

Considering that everyone needed to upgrade to level 30 or above before returning to their respective countries, and going to Yoyo Island would delay the upgrade, Ella decided to carve a teleportation magic circle from the Branch of Disaster to the bottom of Yoyo Island. In this way, she and her group could travel back and forth between Yoyo Island and the Branch of Disaster City. As for flying from the ground to Yoyo Island, it would be enough to just bring the magic airship with them. Yoyo Island was more or less a place to visit, so it was natural to bring along companions.

For a level 945 magic caster, carving a teleportation magic circle is a piece of cake. Unlike the ordinary method of carving a magic circle, Ella only needs to put the prepared materials in the corner of the warehouse, and then use her imagination to create the appearance of the magic circle. Just like in old RPG games, you can place a magic circle by clicking the skill icon. The props placed in the warehouse will automatically disappear, and the magic circle will appear on the ground by itself.

As the breeze blew around due to the fluctuations of magical power, orange-red sparks began to ignite on the ground where there was only bare rock. Like an invisible chisel carving, the sparks moved across the ground at a very slow but extremely stable speed. Accompanied by the constant flashing of various runes, a huge magic circle with a circular outline and a blue light column rising from the center gradually appeared in the sight of Ella and Lotte.

Considering the diameter of the magic circle—approximately two hundred meters—it is definitely large enough for a magic airship to stay on it.

"That's it. Now we just need to carve a similar magic circle beneath Yoyo Island—huh, Lotte?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Miss Ella. I expected it to be exaggerated, but seeing it with my own eyes still left me shocked..."

Without intending to flatter, Luti sighed from the bottom of her heart. Taking the Supreme Academy, which was the only one on the continent that could carve a teleportation magic circle, as an example, even the Supreme Academy, which gathered elites from various countries, could only carve a teleportation magic circle with a diameter of less than ten meters. Not to mention that it required many high-level magic casters to work together for several days, consumed countless rare crystals, and was assisted by the rich magical veins of the earth.

Compared to the two, what Ella did just now even seemed like a joke. If she just pointed at the magic circle and said to outsiders, "This is a teleportation magic circle?", she would definitely be laughed at.

"Well, then, we can just say it's a legacy left by the previous Demon King. Hmm—like a ruin or something, but we'll have to embellish it a bit."

If we tell outsiders that it is a relic, we must at least add some ruins that look quite old around it. Considering that people may question why there is no record of the relic in history, we must also cast illusion magic on the original basis.

Of course, these are all insignificant little things to him. Compared to handling government affairs, magic is nothing. He can't wait to go to Youyou Island to experience the feeling of a floating island.

I wonder what the Godman Tribe's floating island looks like. I heard adventurers say it was beautiful in the maze before...

If I hadn't been concerned about my status, I would definitely have chosen the floating island led by the gods as the next stop of my trip. However, judging from the current situation, I can only have the opportunity to visit it when Iris inherits the position of queen.

"Miss Ella, is there something bothering you?"

Noticing that Ella remained silent, Lotte jumped off the stone pier.

"Eh? Ah... nothing much, I just wanted to see what the floating island in Kamito's territory looks like. I remember it's the island that constantly hovers above Kamito's territory, right?"

Unlike Youyou Island, the floating island of the Gods can move freely in the air - of course, it is not controlled by human power. Although it sounds dangerous, it is actually very safe. Not only that, because the floating island will automatically move to warm places with the seasons, it looks like the gods are controlling the island, so it is naturally regarded by the Gods as a miracle created by the gods and is revered as a holy place by the Gods.

"If Miss Ella wants to go, after the demon clan incident is over, you can have Her Highness Iris accompany you, right?"

"But wouldn't the Demon King be unwelcome? The relationship between the gods and demons has always been bad, right?"

"That's why we need to work with Her Highness Iris. And I believe that if it were Miss Ella, it would definitely change the minds of the God-Humans."

"Even if Lotte says so... well, we'll try again later."

Feeling that there was a definite goal in the future, Ella felt full of energy - to go and take a look at the floating island led by the gods.

There was only one teleportation magic circle, and there was no way to check whether it worked. After coughing twice, Ella waved to Lotte, indicating Lotte to come closer to her.

"Well then, let's go take a look below Yoyo Island."

Chapter 50: Target, Youyou Island!

Although it was a summer afternoon, which should be the hottest time of the day according to common sense, the area around Youyou Island was overcast, as if it was about to rain. The strong wind mixed with heat made it not very hot.

A magic airship about fifty meters long with a purple flag hanging on the top slowly rose into the air. This was the magic airship carrying Ella and her group - including Mitis and Eve. Since everyone had nothing to do in the afternoon, when Ella ran to their respective rooms and suggested visiting Yoyo Island, almost no one refused. Except for Tifarian, the head of the diplomatic corps, who had to stay behind due to official business, only Tina, who was extremely afraid of heights, could not go.

In addition, there were guards for Linglan and Grace, plus a few soldiers responsible for the safety of others. Camisia considered that sending too many soldiers would bring a sense of oppression, so she only arranged the minimum number of people.

Standing on the edge of the pod, Iris said as she looked at the scenery below which was gradually getting smaller.

"Aila-chan, are you going on this inspection as an ordinary noble this time?"

"Well, after all, if I were to say I'm a demon king, I'd be disturbing the lives of ordinary people. There's no need to reveal my identity, so it's best not to do anything unnecessary."

More importantly, I am afraid of trouble. If many people come to worship here, I will probably have a psychological trauma on Youyou Island.

With her hands on the pod and most of her body hanging in the air, Mitis exclaimed in admiration.

"I originally thought Yoyo Island was just an ordinary island floating in the sky, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. I'm a bit surprised."

"What's so ordinary about an island floating in the air?!"

"Isn't that normal? Ella is the weird one, right?"

Mitis retracted its upper body that was sticking out of the air and looked at Ella with an expression that looked at her like an idiot. For Mitis, who originally lived in a fantasy world, islands floating in the air were a matter of course, just like Ella looked at cars in her original world. If Mitis were placed on Earth, she would definitely be amazed by the "magic props" that could be driven without magic power.

Realizing their different common sense, Ella said "Ahaha" perfunctorily to change the subject.

"Looking at Yoyo Island from here, it always seems so beautiful."

"Mm, beautiful."

As if immersed in the scenery in front of her, Eve stared motionlessly at Yoyo Island supported by the purple beam of light. The slightly open mouth and pretty face gave Ella a very fresh feeling. When an expressionless person suddenly changes his expression, most people will smile. Of course, there is also a hint of pride for Ella - she brought Eve here herself, so she couldn't help feeling proud when being praised.

Just as Eve saw, everyone on the side of Yoyo Island could have a panoramic view of Yoyo Island and the surrounding scenery.

Youyou Island, with a radius of less than five kilometers, hovers motionless above the basin. If you look closely, you can find that if the conical Youyou Island is lowered vertically, it can just fill the basin below - perhaps Youyou Island was originally part of the ground, but for unknown reasons, it is floating in the air.

In addition to this, what is even more eye-catching is the grand column of light connecting Youyou Island and the basin. The basin is filled with flowing dazzling purple light, which reflects the entire Youyou Island from below, and even gives people the illusion that the purple light column is supporting Youyou Island to float.

Even the usually noisy Angelini quieted down at this moment, staring at the unimaginable scenery in a trance.

"Little Ella, do you know what that purple beam of light is?"
