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

Looking at the guards along the way, they all had their eyes wide open and were extremely cautious. Those who knew would definitely understand that they were stepping up their vigilance, while those who didn't would think that the horses passing by owed them money.

The depressing atmosphere in the palace formed a sharp contrast to the joy and celebration of peace when Xuefei came here the previous times.

And Xia's words pointed out the hidden truth.

"In fact, this is the norm in the palace."

"Does normal mean that the horses owe them money?"

"No, I mean, when you first arrived at the Kingdom of Orus, it was a period of peace, so everyone celebrated and relaxed for a while, but in fact, most of the time it is like this. Tension and depression, not knowing when the Demon King's army will break through the border and invade the capital, and the king is busy as soon as he wakes up."

"I see... No wonder Livla always wants to run over the wall. Who wouldn't run away in this atmosphere? It's not easy for her either."

"..."

Xia's sudden silence at this moment was deafening.

Xue Fei was stunned for a moment.

And when she saw Xia's slightly pouting face in dissatisfaction, the highly emotionally intelligent Xuefei immediately understood something.

Keep your previous statement unchanged.

But on this basis, another sentence was added.

"Ah~ But when it comes to this, Xia must have a harder time than her, yeah, that's for sure."

"...!"

You see.

The face that was originally cloudy began to clear up because of one sentence~

Well, no matter what the atmosphere is like, we are here to ask for a reward today.

If you don't take a bag of gold coins back from it, you will be at a loss!

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

The atmosphere outside is depressing.

And when we actually arrived at the hall, the environment was even more weird.

The nobles who were standing upright in formal attire on both sides of the hall all slowly retreated to both sides.

The reason was——the silver-haired witch was strolling into the palace leisurely.

They didn't dare to speak loudly, but their pride as nobles and their home turf of human land gave them the courage to whisper.

"Tsk... How shameful... The princess of the demon clan openly set foot on the territory of my Orus Palace. She really thinks she is some kind of peace ambassador... Maybe she has ulterior motives. There is nothing good about the demon clan."

"The hero is really brave. He actually dares to accompany the witch... Oh, we really have to be careful. If the witch suddenly attacks and causes chaos, is the hero sure he can control the situation...?"

"Isn't Princess Livra the bravest...! She is actually waving at the witch! Ah... Princess Livra has made so many sacrifices for the kingdom, but she is willing to show her goodwill to the witch... How admirable, yet how pathetic..."

"Shh...I don't dare to say...I don't dare to say..."

Human nature is what it is.

Rather than paying attention to the facts about why the Colosseum royal family was saved, they were more inclined to just believe in the common sense they had understood since childhood.

Just like they firmly believe that the sky is blue, just because they can see it by looking up, no one cares whether the blue is just a reflection of the ocean.

They believed that demons were inherently evil, so no one thought there would be any exceptions.

But as it happened, Xue Fei didn't expect them to give any understanding.

And Livra...?! You should tone it down a bit! I know you just confirmed a few days ago that I was the one who saved you when you were a child, so you are very happy and the excitement has not yet worn off, but at least don't see me laughing here!

Well...it's okay actually. Maybe Livra has her own considerations. When the two countries are communicating, the princesses must show a friendly attitude. Maybe she is just trying to ease the atmosphere?

Come on, it shouldn't be, it's more reliable

The explanation is that she's just a fool sometimes.

Xia walked to the circle in the middle of the crystal floor, secretly exchanged glances with Xuefei, and the two continued to move in different directions.

Xia was going to join the queue of the Wright family on the right side of the throne.

And Xuefei also has her own way...

Well...

Where am I going...?

Xia, where were you looking at when you gave me that look just now...?

Because your eye signals never make any sense, so I forgot to look!

You know, Xue Fei, as the princess of the demon clan, is not a subject of the Kingdom of Orus.

Even though everyone in the audience was standing, she couldn't stand.

Although she was not as senior as King Orus, as members of the royal family of both parties, she was a guest, and guests should sit down.

Well, that's why etiquette is a thing that requires a lot of attention. If you ask Xuefei herself, she would say that she feels tired from sitting and wants to just lie down, but it's not her turn to decide on this matter, and it would embarrass her parents.

Even though her mind was full of thoughts, Xue Fei simply stopped and frowned slightly.

Just with such a simple action, several nobles in the front row showed expressions of panic.

They thought the witch was going to get mad!

Fortunately, according to etiquette, the kingdom is supposed to make a welcoming speech at this time.

Cold sweat broke out on the king's forehead.

He thought that Xuefeiya Halder stopped to give him a warning, implying that he was not treating the guest well...

Without waiting any longer, the king stood up with the help of his children.

He is the one who shows respect.

With a glance, the civil servant standing in the audience read out the king's greeting, which echoed throughout the slightly noisy hall.

"Your Highness, the Demon Princess who has come from afar, please take a seat. The kingdom has prepared delicious food for the most distinguished guest. Your help to Orus will serve as the starting point for the friendship between the two countries and will go down in history."

"..."

Stop talking so much nonsense... The key point is where should I sit...?

[Xue Fei...! Pillar! Pillar! I forgot to tell you... The pillar in the middle of the hall is called the Huangzhu. The chair in front is specially prepared for VIPs. You can sit there!]

【Ouch? 】

As expected of Xia, I only demonstrated it once and she has already learned telepathy?

Xue Feiya was very pleased.

Just now she said...in front of the pillar of the hall?

Xue Fei looked around slowly.

With confidence.

Although I don’t have breasts, I am still confident.

Haha, your hall only has one pillar~

The other supporting pillars are at the four corners of the hall, so things are simple.

It was built as a whole with the pillar, and in front of the pillar there is a luxurious gilded chair with exquisite workmanship.

That's the place Xia was talking about, right?

Uh... But looking at the structure of this palace, the four large pillars at the corners are more than enough to support it? Isn't the largest one in the middle a bit redundant?

In fact, the large pillar in the middle with carved railings and shiny jade has an allusion.

Legend has it that before the founding of the country, the first king of Orus went out hunting when he was young and encountered a monster on the road. He was at a disadvantage when he faced it alone. However, a farmer came to the rescue and, regardless of the danger, risked his life to assist the king in narrowly defeating the monster. This saved the life of the king, who had not yet achieved anything.

Later, the first king recruited soldiers and established the Kingdom of Orus. The first thing he did after taking office was to travel around the country to find this brave farmer. He invited him to the newly built palace and treated him warmly.

But the farmer became disabled in the fight with the monster, and his legs and feet were not very convenient. The palace was too spacious and there was nothing to lean on. The first king immediately ordered to build an extra pillar in the middle of the palace and named it Huangzhu, because the farmer's name contained the word "Huang". This pillar and chair were just for the guests to lean on and rest.

In fact, the palace has been rebuilt several times over the past thousand years.

Whether this is the same pillar or not, and whether this story actually exists, is impossible to verify.

But the implication and sincerity of the friendship are enough.

The discussions around never stopped, but when Xuefei sat firmly in the chair, all the sounds fell silent.

There is something that comes from the heart that can be admired by others and can shock the situation - it is called aura.

The etiquette of the demon princess disdains the rigid rules of the human race.

She turned around gracefully, and her skirt bloomed like a blue rose, making a rustling sound in the wind.

Born with arrogance and cold eyes like an iceberg, he looks down upon everything.

It is hard to imagine a girl who looks so weak and frail sitting down.

All the magnificent buildings around her were dimmed, leaving only the pressure she brought out of nowhere.

Born to be a king... that's probably what it means...

Many nobles looked away unwillingly. Even if they wanted to deny their opponent, they could not deny that the demon princess possessed qualities that their royal family did not have.

——That is the arrogance of looking down from a high position and being fearless.

With absolute strength as a guarantee, of course we can be proud and fearless.

Even if I am alone in your land of Orus, what does it matter?

Yes, yes, yes, Xue Fei did perform well in official occasions. After all, she had learned royal etiquette and did it well.

But the most important reason is...

There is a table full of delicious food displayed in front of the seats!

Then Xue Fei should quickly take up this excellent position? !

In fact, even if she didn't take up a seat...no one would dare to compete with her for it.

Because, the protagonist of today's rally is this foreign princess.

Xuefei was not in a hurry to eat. She planned to pack these things up and take them home to show them to Timani.

It doesn't mean to share it with Timani, but to let Timani watch me eat, so that I can enjoy it more.

Surrounded by members of the royal family, the king personally walked down from the throne and stood directly opposite Xuefia's seat.

Xuefei looked up and found that the king seemed much older than before.

Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. After all the trouble recently, the old man is already in his seventies and has suffered a lot of injuries from the battlefield. It is already quite good that he can still walk and talk normally.

No wonder he was so anxious to train Livra, probably because he knew he might die at any time...

Not to mention.

People have given him so many delicious foods, I just wish him a long life.

Two knights worked together to move a spare wooden chair behind the king.

The Celtic king slowly sat on it, facing Xuefia across the long carpet on the ground.

On the red carpet is the symbol of the royal family of Orus.

Since then.

A conversation that had never happened in history, in which the human race and the demon race were not standing on opposite sides of the negotiating table.

It unfolds from there.

"Your Highness Princess Xuefia, we have offended you during this period. On behalf of the Royal Family of Orus, I sincerely apologize."

"It's okay." Xue Fei slowly opened her eyes, her deep purple eyes full of spiritual energy, "In war, there are casualties on both sides, winners and losers. Playing chess with each other is not an offense."

"Haha...Your Highness is indeed a smart person."

That's right, at least she's smarter than your third daughter.

Look at your third daughter. They seem to be trying to find different angles to observe my sitting posture.

Livra, I promised to teach you magic, but I didn't say I would teach you how to sit upright?

Having said that, the Celtic king did not sit still any longer.
