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

Of course, Bolu knew very well that this was understandable. After all, they were just some low-level servants, little demons doing chores in the Demon King's Castle. It was impossible for the big figures of the demon clan to focus their attention on such low-level beings.

But Mr. Irons is different. The same look he gave to the Demon Lord is the same look he gives to his servants.

Bolu remembered one detail, that is, Irons remembered every maid who delivered meals to him. One of the maids delivered meals to Irons twice. Irons remembered her and greeted her with a friendly smile.

This made the maid feel flattered, and she didn't even come back to her senses for a moment. If it weren't for Mr. Irons's casualness, if it were any other demon lord, this kind of distraction would be a great neglect.

Of course, if Bolu were to put himself in their shoes, his reaction probably wouldn't be much better.

Mr. Irons can remember all the demons and faces he has seen in his heart...

Asking Boru to reject Ains' request, she... really couldn't do it.

"Well...Okay, Mr. Irons, if that's what you want, I understand..."

Bolu nodded, and then said: "Of course, for your safety, I will inform the head maid about this matter, and she will accompany you to leave the Demon King's Castle and go to the Demon King's City to purchase..."

"Uh..." Irons' expression froze. Tell Finia? What's the difference between that and telling Margaret?

So Ains quickly shook his head and said, "Bolu! Can you... not tell Finia? I think it shouldn't be dangerous if we just go out to buy things~"

After hearing Ains' request, Bolu finally came to her senses. She asked in surprise, "Mr. Ains! Are you planning to leave the Demon King's Castle alone without informing the Demon King?"

"Um... ahem, you can't say that~ Shouldn't I still ask you, Boru, to go out with me?"

"No! This is absolutely not possible!" This time, Bolu's attitude of rejection became firm and he would not tolerate any compromise.

Seeing Polluna's expression of fear and strong rejection, Ains knew that his plan was doomed...

If I had known earlier, maybe I shouldn't have talked to Bolu, and tried to trick my sister Polly, maybe the success rate would be higher...

Bolu was obviously much smarter and realized Ains's plan almost instantly. As a servant, although she had a good impression of Ains, she was not to the point of doing whatever Ains said.

Moreover, she was obviously a little too shrewd. After realizing something was wrong, this little devil ran straight to Finia to report it.

Then, Irons had to face Margaret's question: "Ians, I heard from Finia that you seem to want to leave the Demon King's Castle and go to the Demon King's City to take a look?"

"Uh... yes." Irons touched his forehead and admitted helplessly.

Margaret naturally agreed: "Of course ~ After all, you have been bored in the Demon King's Castle for several days, and you really need to go out for a walk. How about this, I will take you out to visit the Demon King's Castle tomorrow."

"Um... Margaret, can you go out and take a look now?"

"Now?"

Margaret was slightly stunned, then smiled helplessly and asked Irons, "Are you afraid that I will make too much of a fuss? It will hinder your original intention of going out to observe the Demon King's City?"

"Uh..." Seeing that his plan was seen through, Irons scratched his cheek awkwardly.

Margaret couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Irons' embarrassed expression.

"Hahaha~ Ains, we have worked together in Blackwater City for three years, and I still don't understand your character? Why do you think I would do that? I won't do anything to make you unhappy."

Margaret stood up, held out her hand to Ains, and invited him, "You want to go out and see the Demon King's Castle now, then let's go now~

However, you are a little too conspicuous wearing this outfit when you leave the Demon King's Castle. After all, if you want to go incognito, you have to change into a more ordinary set of clothes... Well, I also have to give you some demonic features, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."

As she spoke, Margaret pulled Irons to the closet, picked out a few less luxurious clothes, handed them to Irons, and urged him, "Okay, change quickly~ After you change, we'll go out for a walk."

"Um..." After taking the clothes, Irons looked at Margaret awkwardly and said, "Well...if I want to change clothes, should I..."

"Oh?" Margaret tilted her head and realized that Irons seemed a little afraid to change clothes in front of her.

She immediately revealed a playful smile, leaned close to Ains' ear, and whispered, "Ains, you will be my husband in the future. This kind of thing will happen many, many, many times in the future. You have to get used to it."

So... don't be so reserved~ If you don't want to do it yourself, then I'll do it for you~ If you feel like you're being taken advantage of, I can make it up to you~ You can also watch me while I change my clothes~"

As she spoke, Margaret did not forget to tease Irons by tickling his chin.

As Margaret got closer, feeling the rose-like body fragrance that came to his face, and listening to her seductive jokes, Irons only felt...

I'm gonna burn myself!

Chapter 43: The Conflict between the Blood Clan and the Succubus

The Demon King's City is the largest and only city-state in the Demon Realm.

What was Ains' first impression of such a city-state?

If you really ask Irons to give an evaluation, the answer he can give may be just one word: messy.

This variety is multifaceted. First of all, there are all kinds of monsters traveling on the streets of the Demon King's City, whether it is a little devil with iconic little wings on its back, a succubus with revealing clothes and a hot body, or a tall and strong troll with red skin...

At a glance, the monster races that Ains could recognize, or even those that he could not recognize, filled his entire field of vision like a hodgepodge.

Looking at these monsters of different shapes and sizes, mixed together in a disorderly manner on the streets, it actually brought an inexplicable harmony to Ains.

He looked around with curiosity at this world he had never been to, his eyes full of desire for knowledge.

Margaret on the side smiled slightly and did not disturb Irons, allowing him to watch.

At this moment, Margaret had undergone a major change from head to toe. Her waist-length thick black hair turned into shoulder-length golden brown hair. The horns on her head were also camouflaged and much thinner than before. The heart-shaped succubus tail was also more ostentatious behind her.

After this transformation, Margaret turned directly into an ordinary citizen of the Demon King's City, Ms. Adela, who was a succubus.

Of course, Irons also changed. After Margaret carefully dressed him up from head to toe, Irons became a vampire with white hair, red eyes and pale skin.

The two of them walked hand in hand naturally on the streets of the Demon King's City, looking like a pair of demon lovers who had just fallen in love.

Irons turned his head and took a look at Margaret's current makeup, and couldn't help but recall some past events, because the way Margaret was dressed now was the same as when she showed herself in Blackwater City.

"What? Is there something wrong with me?" Margaret tilted her head and asked, noticing Irons' gaze.

"No, it's almost exactly the same as before."

"Hehe~ After all, I'm the one who has been pretending the longest... By the way, will it look a bit weird with two more horns?"

As she spoke, Margaret touched the devil horns on her head and asked Irons, as if she were a young girl asking her boyfriend if his clothes looked good.

Irons smiled and said, "No, it fits very well and is quite distinctive."

"As long as it's suitable... By the way, Ains, what do you think of the Demon King's Castle?" Margaret asked curiously.

"The Demon King's Castle... How should I put it? I'm actually quite surprised." Ains touched his chin and sighed.

"What's the surprise?"

"Race." Ains pointed at the various demons walking on the street and commented, "It's actually not easy for the Demon King's City to accommodate so many different races and ensure the normal operation of daily governance.

By the way, have there been no racial conflicts in the Demon King's Castle? I don't think there are no conflicts and contradictions between so many different ethnic groups. After all, everyone can tell which demons are different from themselves at a glance. "

In response to Ains's question, Margaret responded truthfully: "Of course there are, how could there not be? It's just that under the management of a demon king like me, no matter how many conflicts there are, they cannot be exposed openly.

Without mentioning anything else, the vampires that I have made you up as now have always been incompatible with succubi. The conflict between these two races is quite big, and there has even been a lot of bloodshed in the Demon King's Castle."

Irons was familiar with the conflict between succubus and vampires. The movie "Blood Enchantment" he had watched before described this matter in great detail.

The conflict between these two races is caused by many factors. The first is the ideological conflict. Succubi are famous for having no taboos and allowing a hundred flowers to bloom when choosing a partner.

It can be said that among the demons today, except for those who are reproductively isolated from succubus, other demons can basically find the shadow of succubus in their own family tree to a certain extent.

Succubus bloodline can almost be said to be the greatest common denominator among all demon bloodlines. Even the demon king Margaret cannot escape it, as her grandmother is a succubus.

However, there is a race that has no reproductive isolation from succubus, but has no history of mating with succubus. Of course, they themselves said so.

This race is the vampires. Unlike succubi who spread their bloodline throughout the entire demon realm, the vampires attach great importance to the purity of their bloodline and never allow vampires to combine with outsiders.

Because blood magic, which represents the power of the vampires, is highly linked to the purity of their bloodline, combining it with outsiders would weaken the power of the vampires themselves, which is an absolute defilement!

Of course, from this point of view, the only conflict between the two is their views on bloodline, but the succubus is a race that is extremely honest about their own XP. If they like any monster, they will definitely take the initiative to express their love.

Even if the opponent is a vampire, it is no exception. Although the vampires strictly prohibit the union of their own race with outsiders, there will always be some young people who cannot withstand the attack of the succubus and accidentally cause an accidental discharge of the gun.

This is a big taboo for vampires. Generally speaking, such vampires will be expelled from the vampire territory and removed from the family tree. Their offspring with the succubus will never be recognized by the vampires.

If it had only come to this, the conflict between the two races would have been just a minor one. The trouble was that there was a vampire who had been seduced by the succubus and there was something a little bit unusual about him.

She was the daughter of the vampire lord at the time, and even gave birth to a child with succubus bloodline!

You should know that the pregnancy rate of vampires is very low. To be able to conceive a child under such circumstances, this succubus must have been having sex with his precious daughter for many years under the nose of the Demon Lord.

This incident offended the entire blood clan. For this reason, the blood clan demon lord directly fought with the succubus demon lord, and an extremely violent and bloody conflict occurred between the two sides.

In the end, the matter was barely settled thanks to the intervention of the Demon King.

However, this conflict caused the death of a large number of ordinary succubi. These succubi had nothing to do with the vampires, but were brutally massacred by them.

Thus, the feud between succubus and vampires was completely established.

The revenge of the succubus is also very interesting. Their way of revenge is to increase the frequency of seducing young vampires, and find ways to severely defile these guys who play with the theory of bloodline!

As a result, after this conflict, not only did the vampires fail to make an example of the succubus, but they were tortured even more severely by the succubus.

In the past, when a succubus seduced a vampire, at least the affection was mutual. But now it is not necessarily the case. It is possible that the succubus has no interest in you at all, but just wants to taint your bloodline and disgust you.

So, after Irons revealed this outfit, he could always feel some subtle glances from the female succubi.

However, after these glances were cast at Margaret beside Irons, they would quickly withdraw their gazes, and then the succubi would start to laugh intriguingly.

After being reminded of this, Irons realized that the disguise Margaret had given him was somewhat humorous.

He looked at Margaret helplessly and asked, "You dressed me up as a vampire, was it intentional or an accident?"

"It was intentional~" Margaret stuck out her tongue playfully and made a face at Irons.

This made Irons feel a little helpless for a moment. He muttered, "Racial conflict is not something that can be joked about. If it is not resolved properly, it will be a time bomb that can affect social stability."

"Wow..." After hearing what Irons said, Margaret looked more serious and asked Irons: "Then... Irons, do you have any way to resolve this contradiction?"

"It's not easy to solve..." Irons muttered, stroking his chin.

Margaret, however, heard the hidden meaning behind his words: "It's not easy to solve... but there is still a way, right?"

"...Well, there is, but the Demon Realm does not have the conditions for that at the moment. The best way to deal with racial conflicts is to conduct cultural propaganda and change the ideological concepts between the two races.

To achieve this, the public's level of awareness, cultural propaganda capabilities, better living conditions, a stable society, etc. are all prerequisites. But unfortunately..."

“None of these demon realms…” Margaret added, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

As for the conditions proposed by Irons, most of them were things that Margaret would not even dare to think about at this stage.

Seeing this, Irons smiled and touched Margaret's head, comforting her: "Don't be too pessimistic. As long as the direction is right, these conditions will be there in the future~

So... before that, let's build the infrastructure first. Let's go to the market and take a look at the most basic food~"

As he spoke, Irons took a step forward, and Margaret's face suddenly turned slightly red when Irons touched her on the head.

She touched her cheek, looked in the direction where Ains was going, and said a little embarrassedly: "Um... Ains!"

"Ok?"

Margaret pointed to the fork in the road that Irons was facing away from and said, "You...are going in the wrong direction. The market is over there..."

Chapter 44: Ains's Skills

"Boss, what are you selling?"

Irons squatted in front of the stall, fiddling with the strange potato crops on display, and asked curiously to the red-skinned troll who was watching the stall.

"Hey? Hey, little brother, you, a vampire, actually want to buy big-leafed sweet potatoes? Can you eat them? Hahaha~"

The red-skinned troll teased Irons in the Common Language with a heavy accent. Although he had sharp fangs, he was surprisingly simple and honest.

"Hey~ I'm just curious. This is my first time in the Demon King's Castle. I've never seen many things from the outside world before in the vampire clan... Big leaf potatoes, right? How do you eat this thing?"

Irons casually pretended to be an outsider vampire who had never seen the world and started chatting with the red-skinned troll.

After hearing about this crop that was not much heard of in the human world, Ains curiously asked how to eat it.

The red-skinned troll didn't doubt it. He broke off a piece of the tuber and introduced it, "How else can you eat it? Peel the skin, pound it into a paste, then put it in water and cook it into porridge. Just slurp it into your mouth."

"Oh~ Then give me two pounds."

"Hey, little brother, if you really want to try it, let me remind you that this thing may not suit the appetite of vampires."

"It's okay, I'm just trying the taste. Besides, even if I don't eat it, my wife will eat it~" Irons pointed at Margaret behind him.

When the red troll saw the succubus features on Margaret, he suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and smiled at Irons: "Haha, I know why you left the vampire territory~ Hahaha."

"Tsk~ It doesn't matter. Anyway, my status in the blood clan is very low, and those nobles don't care whether the bloodline of a little guy like me is tainted.

Anyway, life in the blood clan is not good, so I might as well accompany my wife to leave the blood clan and see what the outside world is like. No matter how much those nobles curse and tarnish their bloodline, what does it have to do with us?

Now that I'm in the Demon King's City, I'll adapt to the local customs and see what the demons outside eat. If I can accept it, I can live here."
