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

Laura gave a helpless bitter smile and explained to Finia: "Ever since he became addicted to reading novels, he has always been like this...

At first he was just in a daze, but later on, being in a daze no longer satisfied him, so... it became like this..."

Chapter 178

Brothers and sisters

"Ugh! Poof!"

Just as Laura and Finia were whispering, Prince Romani, who was immersed in his own little world, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, pretending to be seriously injured and vomiting blood.

Finia looked at this scene in bewilderment, wondering what was going on.

Romani showed a painful but stubborn look. He looked at the imaginary hero in front of him with his contemptuous and bitter eyes and started to talk nonsense again.

"Haha, the hero... As expected, he is strong as his reputation says... Of course, do you think I will admit defeat? Hahaha~ You are taking it for granted...

Oh~ death? Hahaha, do you think I'm afraid of death? As a prince of the demon clan, for me, the only best destination is to die in battle!

Yes, facing the house arrest of Margaret, that bastard woman, I did not resist, like a coward. But do you think it was because I was afraid of death? Fear of Margaret?

Humph! Brave man! I have been lingering on all my life just to be able to do something worthy of my status at this moment! Let me show you! My backup is hidden..."

"Brother! Stop being crazy!"

After hearing Romani say disrespectful words about Margaret in front of Fenia, Laura knew that she could not let her brother continue to act like this.

Otherwise, he will say some nonsense later.

"Ah... Tsk! Laura! Can't you see that I'm at the climax now? I'm going to be generous soon..."

The play he directed and performed was interrupted by his sister. Romani turned his head towards the door with some annoyance, but he found the head maid standing next to his sister and looking at him with strange eyes, and he stopped talking immediately.

Then, under Finia's gaze, Romany's cheeks turned red rapidly, and a feeling of shame instantly filled Romany's heart, making him wish he could find a hole to crawl into immediately!

He quickly threw away the bed sheet, cloak and the branch sword, jumped off the bed and began to explain anxiously to Finia.

"No! Finia! Don't misunderstand me! I was just... just rehearsing the play I watched!"

Facing Romani's sophistry, Finia showed a polite but awkward smile and responded: "Your Highness Romani, what are you talking about? I was pulled in by Your Highness Laura before I could see anything just now."

For the sake of Romani's self-esteem, Finia chose to pretend to be ignorant. Of course, whether to believe it or not was up to Romani.

Of course, Romani obviously didn't believe it. After hearing this, he wanted to die. He covered his face and moved closer to his sister, questioning her quietly.

"You are such a jerk for your brother! Why didn't you tell me when Finya came?"

"Squeak~"

"…You think this is funny?"

“It’s really fun~”

"..."

"Can you be a little more normal... Reading novels all day long makes you look abnormal..."

"Then can you give me a way to kill time? Aren't you also addicted to knitting?"

"I can at least knit clothes for myself. What's the point of reading novels and going crazy all day long?"

Laura glared at Romani as she spoke. Romani wanted to refute her, but he didn't know what to say.

He could only point at Laura, grit his teeth and hold it in for a long time before saying, "You really are my sister... You're just going to cheat your brother, right?"

"Ah, I'm trying to get you to change your ways, okay? You're getting mad more and more often now, and you don't even shy away from people. I've seen you more than once in the yard using my flax bushes as if they were an army, hacking at them. Can you just hack at them randomly?!"

"So I'm not doing it now, am I? I'm staying in my room now. I hope this doesn't bother you?"

"So you never leave your room all day? Aren't you afraid of going crazy?"

"How could that be? I feel so happy without you disturbing me!"

"I think you've gone crazy now!"

Finia stood aside and watched the two siblings who started out talking in a low voice and became more and more excited. They were about to quarrel, so she shook her head helplessly and stepped forward to stop the quarrel.

Fortunately, as an elder who watched the two siblings grow up, Finia still has some weight in front of them. In response to Finia's persuasion, the two siblings whispered a few words to each other and stopped arguing.

Then, the three of them came to the hall and began to discuss the lifting of house arrest.

"Oh~ Hehe, Margaret really intends to lift my brother and I from house arrest? Is that true? And what is the standard for satisfying her?

By then, if we manage to secure the Demon King's Castle but fail to meet her so-called satisfaction standards, will we brothers and sisters have to go back to the way we are now and continue to stay in the house?"

"No, Lady Margaret always keeps her word and would never go back on her word like this."

Hearing this, Romani chuckled, picked up the teacups that the three people had drunk from, stood up, walked to the tea table, and replaced the tea with new one.

"Fenya, what you said to us is basically groundless. In the final analysis, Laura and I are just tools in Margaret's hands.

When she needs us, she can take us out and use us at will, and when she doesn't need us anymore, she will put us back into the tool bag.

If Margaret is really sincere, then she should be the one who comes to ask us for help."

After listening to Romani's words, Finia was silent for a moment, then raised her head and retorted: "No, Your Highness, choosing me to visit you is a sign of Queen Margaret's sincerity."

"what?"

"Your Highness Romani, if Queen Margaret came in person, could you say what you just said to her in person?"

"..."

Hearing Finia's question, Romani was stunned.

Indeed, the reason why I dared to say such words was because the person sitting in front of me was Finia, right?

If it was Margaret sitting in the hall at this moment, there would be no possibility of any unnecessary nonsense between them.

Because the Demon King was the absolute power in the Demon Realm. As long as Margaret spoke in person, how could the two brothers and sisters have room for deliberation? All they could do was obey, obey, and obey.

Finia continued, "Your Highness Romani, choosing me to persuade you is Queen Margaret's greatest sincerity. In fact, if she wants to ask you to guard the Demon King's Castle, it only takes an order and a warrant from her.

Your two princes' loyalty to the Demon King's Castle is indisputable. The Demon King does not need to worry that you two will do anything unfavorable to her. To put it bluntly... Your princes can't do anything.

However, in this situation, the Demon King did not choose to personally go and forcefully ask the two of you, but instead sent me to persuade you...

Your Highness Lola, Your Highness Romani, the opportunity that the Demon King has given you is not only the opportunity to gain freedom, but also the opportunity for you to refuse..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two siblings trembled. After the living room remained silent for a while, Laura suddenly chuckled and shook her head.

"There's no chance for us to refuse... Margaret has definitely figured us out, after all..."

As she spoke, Laura looked up at Finia and said in a gentle tone, "How can we two brothers and sisters bear it if Sister Finia comes to ask us for help?"

Romani also poured the tea and returned to the table, saying unhappily, "How could she really give us a chance to refuse? She is clearly using you to kidnap us... Tsk, that scheming woman."

Although he was cursing, Finia could clearly feel that the atmosphere of the whole conversation had become much more relaxed.

She smiled with relief. It seemed that her task was basically completed.

"So...what do you two think?"

"Alas, I am also the son of the former Demon King. This Demon King's City cannot be without a master for a day. Since Margaret is no longer here, my brother and I will reluctantly come out to manage it for her."

Laura also nodded and smiled, "We certainly won't refuse such a good opportunity. Of course, it depends on whether Margaret really trusts us completely~"

As she spoke, Laura picked up the teacup, brought it to her lips and took a sip. However, at this moment, Laura's expression suddenly changed, and then, in front of Finia's surprised gaze, she spat out all the tea in her mouth with an uncomfortable look on her face.

"Puff! Cough cough cough! What the hell! Ugh... Why is it spicy!?"

At this time, Laura noticed that there were a few pieces of roasted pepper peel floating in the cup, and the person who just changed the tea was...

She turned her head with an angry look on her face and stared at Romani, but at this moment, Romani showed an expression that his plan had come through and burst into laughter.

"Romani! Is there a brother like you!?"

"Ha! You, the younger sister, are allowed to cheat your brother, but I, the older brother, am not allowed to cheat you? This is called reciprocity!"

"Ahhh! I'll kill you!"

Seeing the two siblings arguing again, Finia shook her head helplessly, but then she couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, this pair of princes and siblings that she was so familiar with were still the same as when they were little...

Chapter 179

Please don't mention this to Irons.

After successfully convincing the two princes to accept Margaret's proposal, Finia rarely showed a look of joy and took them to the Demon King's Castle to report.

When some older guards along the way saw Laura and Romani, they all showed surprise in their eyes, and then quickly saluted them.

Some younger demons were a little surprised by this, but they also followed the example of the old guards and saluted Laura and Romani.

After the two men left, the young guard curiously asked the prison guard, "Senior, who are those two white-haired demons? I have never seen them in the Demon King's Castle. Why are they bowing?"

The old guard looked at the curious expressions of the new guards and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "...You haven't seen it? That's right. If you have seen it, it would be strange...

The identities of these two are quite sensitive, so don’t ask too many questions. If you run into them in the future, just pay your respects, but don’t get involved…”

"Ah? Senior, are you keeping me in suspense? After talking for so long, you still haven't told me who they are..."

"You kid... have you seen the portrait of the previous demon king?"

"I've seen it before."

"Do you remember what color his hair was?"

"White, isn't that common sense?"

At this point, the young tailer finally realized what was happening. The white-haired former demon king...

"Oh my god!? Are they the two princes and their siblings?!"

"What else? You idiot... So, remember what I said, their identities are very sensitive! If you run into them next time, don't get involved!"

"Uh-huh!"

The new guard nodded, taking the old guard's reminder seriously.

Such scenes happened frequently on the way to the Demon King's Castle with Finya and her two siblings. The two princes looked at the people and things that they were once very familiar with and owned, and now they felt so alienated from them, and they sighed softly.

Finia also noticed that the two siblings were not in the right mood, and comforted them: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much. It's just that some servants don't know the situation. When the two behind you are released from house arrest, everything will return to the way it was before."

"Okay, Sister Finia, you don't have to comfort us. This is not something we should care about. After all, we are used to seeing the ups and downs when our father died."

Laura waved her hand indifferently in response to Finia. The servants' whispers would not affect their mood.

Following Finia to the Demon King's Castle, the two princes looked up at the castle that had remained unchanged for decades, and felt deeply moved.

"The decoration of the Demon King's Castle remains the same as before..."

"There really isn't much change. Lady Margaret isn't someone who likes extravagant decorations, so most of the decorations are basically kept from the time of the previous Demon King."

“Oh~ haha, that saves us the time of getting familiar with the working environment.” Romani chuckled and said jokingly.

The two followed Finia to the parliament hall, and halfway through, when Finia and the two princes passed by the bedroom, Laura stopped.

"This is... my mother's bedroom... I wonder if it still looks familiar after all these years..."

With a hint of curiosity, Laura walked to the front of the bedroom and was about to push open the door to take a look. Finia noticed that Laura was lagging behind and turned her head to look. When she saw her action at this moment, she was suddenly startled.

"Hey! Prince Laura! Wait!"

Apparently, Finia's reminder was a little too late. At this moment, Laura had already opened the door and was looking at the palace which still maintained almost its original appearance.

This familiar color scheme, familiar furniture layout, this familiar huge bed and the purple gauze floor-length bed curtains that fell from the ceiling, and... a strange man wearing a bathrobe sitting on a chair reading a book...

Hearing the sound of someone coming in without knocking, Irons thought it was Margaret again, taking advantage of him just finishing his shower to raid his room, so he turned around and said with a smile, "Margaret, you should be more reserved..."

Then, when he saw that the person standing in front of him was a white-haired demon whom he did not know at all and had never met in the Demon King's Castle, he hugged his loose bathrobe and screamed: "Oh my god! Who are you!?"

"Ah..." Looking at Ains's vigilant eyes, Laura was a little at a loss for a moment. Wait, isn't this the queen's bedroom? Why is there a man living here! ?

What's more, what do your movements and expressions mean? Do you think I will molest you?

Although she had a lot of complaints in her heart, as a prince, Laura had seen the world. She reacted quickly, took a step back to return the greeting, and explained calmly.

"Ahem... Excuse me, Mr. Human, I just wanted to come in and take a look at the things I'm familiar with. I didn't know there were other people living in this palace..."

"Something familiar?"
