The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

Uh...wait a minute...?

The king just said so decisively that he would reward more land, could he really be planning to not give any money at all?

Xia looked up suddenly and found that the king was anxious to sign the fiefdom grant agreement without wasting a second!

This confirmed...that the king was deliberately avoiding monetary rewards!

Our country is really this poor!

Oh, forget it... I can use the fiefdom to exchange for money and buy food for Xuefei, the same thing.

After finishing her report, Xia returned to her seat and looked straight ahead.

Soon, she heard a voice spoken in a steady tone from beside her.

The patriarch of the Wright family, Acklet, can use some kind of magic to convey the voice clearly even in a noisy environment.

"Xia, the Demon Princess has indeed made all the arrangements, right? Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with what you reported to His Majesty?"

"Yes father, as I just said, that is the case."

"Yeah..."

Xia turned around in confusion.

Just now, Xialett was nervous when she heard this. She thought there was something wrong with her and Xuefei's acting skills.

But not.

My father's brows were furrowed again, his eyes fixed on the throne.

It was as if he hadn't asked anything just now, and he was still so serious.

At first, Xia didn't know what her father meant by asking these questions.

It wasn't until her mother whispered this into her ear with a smile that she suddenly realized.

"Xiao Xiya, your father just can't bring himself to speak out. He is worried that you might be in danger if you come into contact with the demon princess. After all, she is such a powerful person...right? The six-winged demon...even if your father goes into battle himself, he is not sure of winning a direct confrontation. How can he not be worried about you going to fight this time? He was sure that you had dealt with it properly just now, and now that the danger is over, of course he is also worried.

I feel relieved, that's why I said...your father's weird personality is so annoying..."

"Hey, Ronnie, you don't have to say anything extra. There's no point in saying anything."

"Okay, okay~ I won't tell you if you don't want to tell me. I don't know who went to the church to worship the statue of the god of war when the child went to the war. Hmm? Who was it?"

"Tsk, nonsense, you're talking as if you didn't go."

"Yes, of course I have to go. Who asked Xiao Xiya to bear so many responsibilities at such a young age? Alas, there is nothing I can do about it. Having a child who is too outstanding is also a luxury."

"So there's no need to talk so much, you... hey!"

Xia Leit listened to the conversation between her parents in a daze...

She blinked, and it took her a long time to react.

After Xia figured out the whole story, she couldn't help laughing.

It is obviously not in accordance with etiquette to laugh in front of the imperial steps.

But this time, the head of the Wright family turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it. He just coughed lightly to give a reminder.

Xia and her mother Ronnie smiled at each other and remained silent.

Well...there are so many ways to express family affection.

The cold light of the sword breaks the enemy's path, and the cool breeze blows across thousands of miles in anticipation of the girl's return.

Although Xia has taken on a lot.

But she knows she is happy to have such parents and family.

After a few relieved chuckles.

However, a different kind of sadness slowly emerged from Xia's beautiful blue eyes.

In contrast...

Xuefei is too lonely.

I don't know what she is doing now, is she sleeping... or is she alone in the bedroom staring at the ceiling...

I really don't know whether Xue Fei was in harmony with her family when she was in the Demon King's Castle and in the demon royal family, apart from the war factor.

I must talk to her when I get home. Even if it's useless, it will be good to chat with her to relieve my depressed mood.

——The peace did not last long.

At this moment.

A slightly sharp voice sounded, abruptly interrupting the thoughts of everyone present.

Prime Minister Felix picked up a crystal amplifying speaker, raised one arm high, and opened his voice to make his voice heard as loudly as possible throughout the audience.

"Everyone, please be quiet! Since His Majesty the King is asking for everyone's opinions, I will be the first to express my humble opinion!"

After clearing his throat and coughing a few times, Felix's cunning expression revealed a kind of ruthlessness, and he clenched his fists and spoke loudly.

"I think that instead of detaining or sealing her, we should choose to act decisively! I propose! Immediately execute the demon princess to eliminate the trouble forever!"

After the words fell, there was silence.

Phylex must not have noticed...

At this time, it came from the direction of the Wright family.

There was a gaze that was as sharp as a blade wrapped in ice and snow in the cold wind, which seemed to tear him to pieces, so terrifying and fierce.

11. Found it!

After Prime Minister Felix finished speaking, he suddenly felt a murderous aura surrounding him, which made him shiver for no reason.

But when he looked around hurriedly, he couldn't find the source of this uncomfortable feeling.

The prime minister had finished his advice on correcting the gaffe in time. He patted his purple clothes, stood straight, and waited for the nobles' reactions.

The reactions were very real.

——The most realistic reaction is no reaction at all!

It’s not that the chancellor’s proposal was disdainful.

But...no one dares to judge this casually.

The nobles are not stupid... For such an important issue, His Majesty the King openly said that he was summoning all the ministers to discuss it.

In fact, everyone knows that this emergency meeting is only for the top leaders of the kingdom to discuss and make decisions, and they only need to listen to the results.

Decision-making and being informed are two different things. Those who are informed do not have to make decisions.

Although Felix didn't get any response, he seemed quite satisfied and enjoyed the feeling that everyone was listening to him.

He stood straighter, with an arrogant look on his face, and he seemed to be even more determined to stick to his opinion and not change it!

The Celtic king gripped the armrests of the throne tightly, his brows furrowed tightly, and the unhappy look on his face could no longer be concealed.

"Sir Felix, you said you want to kill people?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Please allow me to tell you the reason."

When Felix heard the king's words, he immediately turned around and faced the throne with a strange smile on his face.

"This is an unexpected situation. Before this expedition, who would have thought that our country could capture the demon princess alive? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Should we leave hidden dangers and wait for her to recover?

"Restore your strength and let the tiger go back to the mountains? No...When I think of the heinous crimes this witch committed against our country...My heart aches! How many soldiers and people of our country died tragically under the wings of the demons!"

After saying this, Felix "sincerely and heartfeltly" pressed his palm to his heart, his expression as if he was truly grief-stricken.

He swung the cloak of his gilded dress, causing a rustling sound, and clenched his fists to express his determination.

"So! I don't think we have any reason to let her live. Only by killing her can we shock the demon leader. Only by killing her can we ensure the prosperity of our Kingdom of Orus! An opponent that we once feared to the extreme is now in our hands. If we hesitate and dare not kill him, it can only mean that he is a fool! Your Majesty, please make a wise decision!"

"..."

The passionate speech was met with only scattered applause.

The pitifully small amount of applause was only from the prime minister's trusted aides who had been arranged in the audience.

Most people had no sense of belonging or identification with what Felix was saying, so naturally they would not applaud.

Regardless of what he said...

Just talking about the identity of the current new prime minister of the kingdom...

Although this guy is the prime minister, he is not a native resident of the Kingdom of Orus at all!

In this world, the Kingdom of Orus is not the only country where humans gather.

But there are two in total.

Another country where humans gather is the Kingdom of Corea, which is adjacent to the Kingdom of Orus and is a theocratic church state where all the people believe in gods and the Pope.

According to legend, hundreds of years ago, these two countries were once a unified human empire, but due to differences in political views and beliefs, civil wars continued and eventually they were completely split into the two different countries we are today.

And the new Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Felix... He was appointed by the Pope of the Correa Theocracy and appointed to the Kingdom in the name of "mutual friendship during wartime".

When he thought of this, the Celtic king couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows and feel a headache again.

He negotiated with the Theocracy more than once, trying to get rid of this prime minister who was forced upon him, but was always rejected by the Pope with various reasons that were almost "threatening".

The royal power does not submit to theocracy, but since the war with the demons began... the kingdom's resources have been scattered. If it wants to maintain the war, it must rely on magic crystals, magic crystal cannons, and more necessary resources provided by the church in the rear.

Why not let the Theocracy fight on its own?

After all, the kingdom is the one next to the demon territory...

The one who is closest to the tower gets the moon first. The same goes for the opposite. The one who is closer will be attacked first. In the eyes of the demons, both countries are human and there is no difference. Of course, whichever is closer will be defeated first.

The Church was clearly afraid of the demons and understood the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold", but it still gave priority to the kingdom in sending troops to the front lines, and the fighting lasted for decades.

They were chanting holy words in the rear, while we were bathing in blood and killing people in the front, with our families torn apart.

We are all human beings, but we are treated so unfairly.

Things in this world have never been fair.

And the biggest compromise among them...is probably to accept this foreigner as the prime minister of the country.

Knowing clearly that the Pope was taking advantage of the situation to make demands and placing Felix, his "spy", by his side, the Celtic King had no way of completely breaking off relations with the Church as the war was not over yet.

Who doesn't know that behind this prime minister is the Pope's scepter, and that he comes here just to show off his power and watch the fire from the other side of the river?

So, when this noble of the Correa Theocracy shouted "For the Kingdom of Orus" in the palace of the kingdom, how many people could be moved by his emotions?

No, we are not stupid. We all know it, but we just know that some things cannot be said.

After listening to what Felix said, the king pondered for a while, frowned, glanced at the lords below the stage, and asked weakly.

"Everyone, if you have different opinions, you can speak freely."

The king's reminder was very clear - he was not satisfied with the prime minister's judgment and even thought it was ridiculous.

Unfortunately, this rally was destined not to be a debate from the beginning. No one wanted to be the first to speak out, provoke the prime minister, and be targeted by the church.

However, whenever the kingdom was in trouble, there was always a voice to protect the country, ringing out from the right of the throne.

"Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is quite inappropriate, even absurd."

"Oh...! Lord Ecklet, do you have any different opinions?"

Hearing this reliable voice, the king's tone relaxed and his brows immediately relaxed.

As Prime Minister Felix stood up with an unhappy look on his face, it was the head of the Wright family, Eklet, who was on the right side of the throne.

Although he was the one speaking, the brave warrior, Shialet, also walked out of the queue with him.

There is no need to mention the importance of this father and daughter in the kingdom.

Once these words were spoken, the stagnant palace finally began to have some slightly expectant discussions.

Eklet ignored the warning look from the Prime Minister and also ignored the noisy crowd behind him.

On the surface, he was confronting the prime minister from a distance.

In fact, Ecklett didn't even look at him.

"Killing is the most efficient way to end everything. But Prime Minister, aren't you afraid of the revenge of the demon leader with such arbitrary judgment? You should know that the person you proposed to kill was not some officer of the Demon King's army, but the eldest daughter of the Demon King, Shefia Halder."

"What's there to be afraid of?! You, the Light family, are the sword that protects the country, and you actually said such cowardly words that you are afraid of the revenge of the demons?"
