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

With the experience from the last competition, Little Holy Sword is already familiar with winning prize money!

So the current situation of the game is...

At the same time, Xia Ya and Xue Fei turned their heads towards the fighting arena.

The host's loud announcement and the exclamations from the audience have resounded!

[No... I can't believe it! The last year's champion, Sira, actually ended the semi-finals in an instant kill! Unbelievable... The opponent she faced was the highly anticipated sixth-level genius magician, Craven. This is simply... Sira is worthy of being the biggest dark horse in this game! ]

Siletla casually tossed the golden magic sword in her hand, and it turned into a point of light and dissipated in the wind.

She didn't care about the opponent who had been knocked unconscious by the blow and didn't even have time to chant magic, nor did she care about the cheers and surprise of the audience. She just wanted to return to her mother's arms and ask for a compliment.

Great, great! We are one step closer to meeting Lady Xuefiya in the finals. This journey has been so difficult!

--"difficult".

On the platform, the Pope widened his eyes slightly when he saw this.

But the shock lasted only a moment, and he leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

On a platform several dozen meters away, the Demon King whispered his judgment.

"Wow, the movements are neat and tidy, and the magic control is excellent. This kid, the human race's holy sword is really good, don't you think, Herilite?"

"Well... Let's not talk about the Holy Sword's strength for now, but why is Xue Fei and the Holy Sword so close...? We are obviously the demon tribe..."

From a distance, the "Girl with the Holy Sword" threw herself into Xia Ya's arms, just like a child expressing her trust in her mother.

It’s just that the “mother” looks disgusted and even kicks him, there is no trace of maternal love at all.

Hererite just felt a little worried.

But she quickly smiled with relief and shook her head.

"Haha... That's right. Xue Fei has always liked to do unexpected things since she was young... I should have gotten used to it a long time ago."

"Hahaha! That's just my personality! So refreshing!"

Bellis watched from afar as the little blue-haired girl threw herself into Sister Wang's arms...her eyes were as cold as an ice cave.

But Bellis still had her sanity, and while she tried to remain calm, she also heard the discussion her parents had just had.

They just said...

Holy...holy sword?

Are you saying that the child is the real body of the Holy Sword Siletra?

No, how did you figure that out?

Although the truth is unknown... Bellis disguised herself and fought against Siletella in the last competition.

After just a few simple moves, Bellis felt that this little girl was extraordinary. Her movements were so fast that she had difficulty keeping up with them. She was extremely powerful, and more importantly, she had not yet used her full strength.

If her identity is the Holy Sword itself... then that would explain the reason.

Damn hero...

It's not enough for you to pester Sister Wang by yourself, you even want to release your holy sword to pester her as well, how cruel...

There was some gnashing of teeth, but the game went on.

Just when everyone was still discussing how the previous game ended too suddenly.

The host's shocked voice rang out again.

[This...! The second semi-final had the same result! ! Fire Dragon contestant Dimani, just like Sira, defeated her opponent with just one strike! Oh my god... The progress of this match was completely beyond our expectations, it's incredible! ]

Today Timani was not wearing a brown robe.

She was wearing a fiery red dress and exhaled a breath of hot air. Her pair of dragon horns were surrounded by flames. She looked with disdain at the orc warrior opposite her who seemed to have been roasted and fell to the ground.

Most likely he is not dead.

Timani was controlling the strength. The [Dragon Flame] just now was not a high-level magic, so even Timani could control it with ease.

Lifting her elegant red hair, Dimani turned around and left the venue, preparing

Fight the next round.

No matter what...she has a reason not to lose today's game.

Her appearance time in this round may be shorter than that of Siletela in the last round.

After two rounds of such unexpected matches, the audience was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

I thought it would be a evenly matched match...but I didn't expect it to be a one-sided win?

But, that's what really caught their attention.

This is the host's next sentence.

Even the host himself frowned when he got the schedule for the next round of games.

There was a hint of caution in his tone, completely lacking the entertaining high pitch he had just used.

At this moment, he was more like an official conveying imperial orders than a host.

"The next round of competition...will be played by the Demon Tribe's first princess, Xue Feiya Halder. Please...please keep quiet and wait for the contestants to enter."

29. Be present

Oh wow, it’s finally my turn?

Really, wasn’t the atmosphere among the audience so enthusiastic just now? Why did they all fall silent when they shouted my name?

In fact, this is not entirely true.

Over in the demon clan’s seat area, half of the demon clan members were waving their arms and shouting, “Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess!”

Of course, half of the demons chose to remain silent, or shouted slogans in a perfunctory and disdainful manner.

In the eyes of the demons who remember Xue Feiya's achievements over the past ten years, she is still the invincible "Princess of War" in the leader of the demons.

But in the eyes of more demon nobles, the capture of the first princess is an indelible black spot.

Those who are captured are losers, and losers do not deserve applause.

Even if she were released now, she would be nothing more than a disgrace to the demon clan. All her previous achievements, including hers, were nothing worth celebrating.

It is probably because they cannot commit crimes against their superiors that they did not curse.

A perfect piece of jade, people in the world admire it as a wonder.

If jade has even the slightest flaw, the world will despise it.

They only ask for the jade to remain clear, but never consider that the jade has been battered by wind and rain for many years and is already covered with scars.

Being covered in bruises won't earn you sympathy from the world, but only a cold response like "I'm angry at you for not fighting back" or "You don't have the strength."

Jade doesn't have to escape.

She also asked some tribesmen - how long should she hold on?

Ten years? Twenty years? Even thirty years doesn't matter.

She only hoped that after that, she could overlook the horizon and look up at the sea and sky like a butterfly flying over the flowers.

But the answer she got was...

——That day will never come.

As a princess of the demon clan, arrogance is an eternal issue.

She is like a jade, but her heart is like a butterfly.

As Xue Feiya continued to comprehend the cruel meaning behind this sentence, the Demon King's Castle had become a cage.

In the eyes of the world, the defeat of the Demon Princess meant she fell from the battlefield of glory into the cage of the human race.

But for her, where exactly is the cage?

They don't care because they are not the ones imprisoned there.

They only hope that the Demon Clan will always have such a piece of colorful jade so that they can use it to declare their power to the world.

If the jade has no value anymore, just throw it away.

Xia Ya turned her back to the suffocating silence and slowly put the half-eaten donut into [Storage].

I was about to use [Teleport] to appear as Xuefia and leave the Xia doll behind, but just when I was supposed to rush onto the battlefield...

Xue Feiya suddenly realized that her left hand was covered by a gentle feeling.

When I turned to look, it was Xia's smiling face as beautiful as jade.

"Shaya."

"Ok?"

"Since you are going to the competition, then have fun and think less about troubles. Also... I want to tell you that you are unique in my eyes, no matter you were in the Demon King's Castle or you are sitting here now. I... I don't know how to say it. What I mean is that you should not care too much about what they think, because you are excellent in yourself and don't need others to judge you. I understand it all. So... you probably understand what I want to say?"

"don't know."

"Eh?! Then let me put it another way! Let me think... let me think..."

"puff..."

"Shaya?"

He was depressed and lost one second, but was smiling slyly and relieved the next.

With Xue Feiya's ability to understand, how could she not understand what Xia wanted to say?

Xue Fei smiled silly

She didn't care about the host's second reminder to the contestants to come out. She took out the donuts that she had just put into the storage magic, her appetite was aroused, and she stuffed them directly into her mouth, eating up the happiness.

"Mmm... So sweet. Hey, Xia, you're really good at talking! What you say makes my heart flutter!"

"Don't make fun of your sister... Really... Seeing that you are a little depressed, it is my duty to encourage you..."

"Are you kidding?"

"Ok?"

The little holy sword was a little slow to notice the atmosphere.

But she was not unable to read the atmosphere. After kneeling on the back of the chair and turning around to look around at the dull audience with displeasure, Siletla came back and sat down with her arms folded, her tone quite indignant.

"Hmph... From ancient times to the present, these guys have always been so ignorant. Lady Xia is obviously the greatest person in the world, but they don't know how to cherish her. Now they are still putting on a sour face, as if others owe them something. If you really have the ability, just go on the stage and show it off! We'll beat as many as you want! We...! Hmm?"

The donut appeared in the little mouth again, stopping Siletella's rapid-fire verbal attack.

The little Holy Sword looked up and first saw the tiny fingers that put the donut crust into her mouth.

When the fingers were removed, Xuefia's smile, as pure as snow, appeared in Siletela's azure eyes for the first time.

A smile is a luxury and won't last long.

After Xia Ya turned around and said to Xia "I'll be back soon", "Xia Ya" lost all expression and sat firmly in her chair facing the competition venue like a doll, motionless.

Siletra stood up and poked the collagen-filled cheeks of the "Shaya Doll", pouting her lips and complaining.

"Hmm... Lady Xia's soul has gone to a distant place again. She won't move."

"Sister Siletra...can you please stop talking like she's dead...Xia Ya is going to participate in a competition, she's not that far away."

Not far away.

But Xia and Siletra each moved a little towards the middle in their seats.

This will allow you to get closer to the Xia doll.

Not far away.

But I always want to be closer.

.......................................

The staff in the contestants' waiting area were anxiously pacing back and forth.

When the contestants were called for the third time, Princess Xuefia still did not show up.

They are neither politicians nor businessmen.

However, as the organizers of the gladiatorial arena event, if they cannot guarantee that the contestants arrive on time on this occasion, they will offend both politicians and big businessmen.
