Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

The meaning of prince in the demonic culture is the children of the deceased demon king.

Moreover, the title of prince will only be passed down to children. Grandchildren and below will be managed by the Demon Lord of their race. At that time, it will be the Demon Lord's business to decide what title to give.

Due to the randomness and uncertainty of the alternation of regimes in the Demon Realm, it is a big problem for a new Demon King to deal with the political legacy left by the previous Demon King.

The crown prince, who was extremely important in the human world, became a very embarrassing hot potato in the Demon Realm.

The power of the Demon King will not be transferred to the next generation through inheritance, so it is normal for an extremely powerful Demon King to give birth to a child with average talent.

And if the strength of the Demon King's heir is really average, then it may be a good thing, because such an average-ability Demon King's heir will not pose any threat to the next generation of Demon King, and will be more likely to have a good end.

If the Demon King's heir is a strong man with skills and strength, some very troublesome problems may even occur.

For example, the 58th Demon King and the offspring of the 57th Demon King, Prince Renault, fought a war that affected the entire Demon Realm.

This prince was a great demon with extraordinary skills and abilities. When his father was still alive, he had already controlled the government for many years and had considerable prestige in the entire Demon King's City.

With the death of the 57th Demon King, Prince Renault was dissatisfied with the selection of the 58th Demon King. He felt that it would be better for him to continue to manage the Demon Castle than to let him take the throne.

Once this line of thought came up, it was unstoppable, and an idea that went against the ancestral rules gradually took shape in Prince Renault's mind.

It's time for the primitive power succession system of abdication to improve! From today on, I, Prince Renault, will take the lead in promoting the hereditary system! Let the Demon Realm enter the era of family rule!

The 58th prince saw that he had just come to power and was treated so cruelly by this prince. He could only say, Prince Renault, whoever dares to touch the ancestral rules will lose his head!

Some Demon Lords also joined the Prince Team and the 58th Demon Lord because of their different ideas. Of course, in addition to those on both sides of the team, there were also several Demon Lords who chose to wait and see the situation before deciding to join.

There is even an even more important existence, a giant demon king who thinks that if the prince can become a demon king, why can't he be one...

In short, Prince Renault's determination to make progress led to a three-year civil strife in the Demon Realm, during which the entire Demon Realm became a mess.

The way to end this civil strife was simple and brutal. After three years, the 58th Demon King completely mastered the power of the Demon King.

As a result, the demon king's domineering aura on the battlefield trembled, and Prince Renault fell to the ground, bringing this civil strife to a hasty end in a whimper.

However, such a hasty end to the civil strife brought a lot of problems to the political structure of the Demon Realm. The most far-reaching of these was the problem of the Demon Lord, which has continued to this day.

Therefore, from then on, successive demon kings have all had a bit of ptsd towards the existence of the prince.

A more ruthless approach would be to simply and roughly carry out a family purge. Even if there is no murderous intent, the prince's abilities must be destroyed first.

It was not until the 70th Demon King that the conflict between the Demon King and the Prince was finally eased to some extent.

Before the seventieth generation of the Demon King obtained the power of the Demon King, he had a very good relationship with the Prince, which led to a relatively gentle and stable way of dealing with the Prince.

This mansion was built during the time of the 70th Demon Lord.

Of course, no matter how gentle it is, the personal freedom of the princes must be restricted. This house is actually just a prison with a gorgeous and spacious appearance.

When she arrived at the gate of the mansion, Finia showed the guard at the gate the warrant written by Margaret. After obtaining permission, Finia was allowed to enter the mansion.

As soon as she walked in, Finia felt a fragrance coming towards her, and what caught her eye were the blue and purple flowers blooming around the courtyard.

A demon woman with white curly hair and wearing linen clothes was walking with her back to Finia among the flowers that were half her height, watering them.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing behind her, the white curly-haired woman paused, then turned her head and looked at Finia with her blue-purple eyes that complemented the flowers. Then, a bright smile instantly appeared on her pretty face.

"Sister Finia!?"

"Well, Her Highness Laura...long time no see..."

"You, you...this...that...wait..."

Laura obviously had not received any prior information about Finia's visit and seemed a little at a loss.

Finally, she could only pinch her linen clothes and smile bitterly, feeling a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Sister Finia, if I had known you were coming, I should have changed into a new set of clothes..."

"No, Your Highness Laura, I'm just the head maid, you don't have to prepare anything for me."

"No, no, no... This is different. This house has few visitors all year round, not to mention someone you know like Finia..."

As she spoke, Laura walked out from the bushes and came to Finia. Finia looked at the blue and purple flowers around her and asked, "Did you plant these flax, Your Highness Laura?"

"Ah, yes."

"..." Finia frowned, took another look at the linen clothes on Laura, and asked, "Did someone deduct the clothes prepared for you?"

"Huh? Haha~ Finia, you think too much. After all, we are princes. Who dares to withhold clothes from us? I just... think it's unnecessary.

Since I have been confined to the yard with nothing to do, I thought of planting some flowers to pass the time.

Later I found that the color of flax flowers was the same as my eyes, and I liked it very much, so I simply dug up the floor of the yard to plant flax.

Then I tried to weave the harvested flax into linen cloth. Don’t tell me, I have good craftsmanship. I made all the clothes I wore by myself.

As she spoke, Laura turned around and showed off her fluffy linen clothes.

"Anyway, I now prefer the clothes I make myself. On the one hand, I can make the style I want to wear, and on the other hand, I can kill the boring time staying at home.

I kept all the things you gave me, but now I just put them in my closet as decorations." Laura chuckled and spread her hands.

"It's a good thing that Her Highness Laura can find a hobby to kill time here."

"Well, maybe, if I wasn't the Demon King's daughter, I would have become a very famous seamstress in the Demon King's castle. By the way, what happened in the city today? It was so loud that I could hear it even from my house."

Facing Laura's question, Finia's expression suddenly became serious. She looked at Laura and asked, "Today, the Demon King gave a pre-war speech in the square in the center of the city."

"Pre-war speech?" Laura was stunned and asked, "Is Margaret going to send troops to conquer the human world?"

"No... we are going to defeat the Troll Lord."

"Ah?" Laura looked confused when she heard this.

"Of course, Your Highness Lola, this is an opportunity for you." Finia looked at Lola solemnly and announced to her: "This time, the Demon King will lead most of the high-level personnel of the Demon King City to leave the Demon King City.

By then, the management of the entire Demon King's Castle will be seriously vacant, and some capable demons will be needed to temporarily take over some of the Demon King's positions in the Demon King's Castle.

After much deliberation, the Demon King finally thought of the two princes as the right candidates, and this was also an opportunity for the two princes. If the two could manage the Demon King's Castle properly during the time when the Demon King was away on the expedition.

Then, the Lord Demon will, in consideration of your loyalty, lift the two princes' house arrest and grant you true freedom!"

Chapter 177

Abstract mental state

"Your Highness Lola, this may be your only chance with Your Highness Romani. If you can manage the Demon King's Castle properly while the Demon King is away on a campaign, then the Demon King promises to release you from house arrest."

Finia made this statement to Laura in a serious manner. In response, Laura paused slightly. Although her expression was a little surprised, she did not reveal too much intense emotion.

After a moment's hesitation, Laura asked, "Is this all Margaret wants from us?"

"That's all."

"...That's really a bit surprising... Margaret trusts us so much?"

Laura's words seemed quite frivolous, as if this so-called opportunity did not have much appeal to her.

Laura's bland response made Finia frown slightly. For her, she hoped very much that Laura could accept Margaret's conditions.

After all, she had watched Laura grow up. Emotionally, she hoped to free Laura from house arrest. Logically, as the head maid who was absolutely loyal to the Demon King, she had to carry out Margaret's request.

"Your Highness Lola, in fact, Queen Margaret has never doubted your loyalty. It is just that due to your status and rules, she chose to keep you under house arrest in the mansion."

Seeing Finia, who usually looked calm, now looking a little anxious, Laura couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. Her blue-purple eyes curved into two crescents, looking quite happy.

"Hahaha~ I know, Finia, you always say this to me every time you come over. Of course I know that Margaret has no hostility towards me and my brother.

Besides, I didn't say I disagree. I would definitely consider this kind of thing. I'm so bored that I have to grow flax to make clothes for myself. I can't even remember the last time I stepped out of the house."

Laura talked to Finia in a half-joking tone and took her into the house.

The interior layout of the house is quite luxurious. Since they are under house arrest, in order to ensure that these princes will not do anything inappropriate due to their treatment during the house arrest, the interior decoration of the house is quite luxurious.

In terms of specifications, the interior decoration of this house is basically on the same level as the Demon King's Castle.

Of course, because the space is not large, the layout is much more compact than the Demon King's Castle.

Lola brought Finia to the hall and invited her to sit down. Finia naturally refused: "Your Highness Lola, I am just a head maid. I should be the one serving you."

"Alas, Finia, you are still clinging to those old stories. I am no longer the heir of the Demon King who needed your care, and you are no longer the head maid who raised me.

Now, I am a prince under house arrest, and you are the head maid loyal to the new Demon King. There is no need for us to continue to maintain the previous relationship of superiority and inferiority.

So, instead of always being tense, relax a little and don’t worry about your status. Just treat me as an old friend. Since you are a friend visiting, of course I, as the host, should entertain you~”

As she spoke, Laura pushed Finia and pressed her down on the sofa, then she walked aside and made tea for Finia.

Finia, who had always been the one serving others, rarely was she entertained by others, which made her feel a little uncomfortable sitting on the sofa.

She picked up some gifts and snacks she had brought and placed them on the guest table. After Laura came over with tea, she looked at the snacks on the table with a hint of curiosity.

"Oh? This... is that the mochi that the servants always talk about? I heard that it's very popular in the city now. I was thinking of asking the servants to buy some outside to try, but unfortunately they sold out so quickly that they were always out of stock."

As she spoke, Laura took out a piece of mochi from the bag with full curiosity and put it in her mouth, feeling the soft and thick texture on the outside and the sweet and sour jam inside. Her expression lit up and she exclaimed in admiration.

"Wow! This is delicious! No wonder it sells out so fast in the city!"

"Well... But this is different from what's sold in the city. This is a little gift that His Excellency the King's wife prepared specially for His Highness Lola."

"Wang Fu?"

Hearing this word, Laura was slightly stunned. Obviously, as a prince under house arrest, Laura did not know that Margaret already had a fiancé.

In just that instant, Laura's natural curiosity about gossip surged wildly. She walked straight up to Finia and asked with shining eyes.

"Margaret fell in love with a man? When did it happen? Who was the husband? What race was he? What did he look like? What was his personality like?"

Finia answered Laura's questions one by one, and the answers made Laura even more curious.

"Margaret actually fell in love with a human? This is unprecedented in the entire history of the Demon Realm... As far as I can remember... there are only three Demon Kings who chose humans as their spouses.

And those three were princesses captured by the male demon king from the human empire~ This is the first time a woman like Margaret has captured a man~"

"Although His Excellency Wang Fu is a human, he has made a lot of contributions to the Demon King's Castle in just these few months. Although the Demon King's choice is somewhat unexpected, it is also well thought out."

"Hmm~ I can see that~" Laura glanced at the snacks and gifts that Finia placed on her table, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"At least, he is much more humane than Margaret, and he will prepare gifts for a strange prince like me."

Finia's expression was slightly awkward. She coughed and changed the subject, asking, "Um, why didn't I see His Highness Romani?"

"Brother... He's been bored these past few years and has become addicted to novels... And, maybe because he's read too many novels, his mental state is a bit..."

When mentioning her brother, Laura's expression became a little subtle.

This made Finia look a little worried. She quickly asked, "Your mental state is not good? What happened to His Highness Romani?"

"Uh...it's not that my mental state is bad...it's just that it's a little abstract."

"……what?"

This comment made Finia stunned. What kind of abstraction is this?

Seeing that Finia obviously couldn't understand, Laura stood up and took Finia to Romani's bedroom door and said, "Well, to put it simply, Finia, you probably don't understand...you should take a look for yourself."

As she spoke, Laura opened the door of Romani's bedroom, and Finia stuck her head inside, her expression immediately froze.

I saw a young demon with a handsome face who looked somewhat like Laura standing on the bed, holding a wooden stick he had picked up from somewhere, and a cloak made of a bed sheet draped over his back.

This person is Laura's brother, Prince Romani...

At this moment, Romani was staring at the blank wall with a solemn expression, as if there was an extremely powerful and respectable opponent there.

Then, the young man began to talk to himself: "Are you here? Brave man... Hehe~ Who am I?... If you want to know my name, it depends on whether you have the strength! Take my sword!"

"Hah! Ha! Ah!"

Then, without knowing that he was being watched by two beautiful girls, Romani picked up his "sword" and started swinging his sword at the air.

"Forehead!"

Halfway through the dance, Romani suddenly made an expression of pain, took a step back, and revealed a hint of surprise and seriousness.

Then, he chuckled and said, “Haha~ As expected, you are worthy of being a brave man… You are indeed quite powerful. I admit that you are my opponent.

Hero! The one standing before you is the son of the 72nd Demon King! The best swordsman in the Demon King's Castle! The former deputy commander of the Demon King's Castle! The Demon Prince Romani Geddon!

Want to attack the Demon King's Castle? Haha~ Step over my dead body first! "

As he spoke, Romani began to swing his sword at the air while lying on the bed. He continued to speak his lines while swinging the sword, as if he was really fighting with the hero at this moment.

Of course... in a normal battle, the less you talk the better. However, Romani talked more and more, just like in a drama, he never stopped talking.

Romani's passionate speech to the air made Finia at the door dumbfounded. This mental state... is really unusual...
