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

"Good evening, Teacher Xia Ya...! I have the chance to be your apprentice! Ah...

.Ms. Xia Ya, why are everyone crying...?"

"You stupid idiot..." Xue Feiya held her forehead and sighed. She really wanted to pat Livra on the head.

But she stopped.

Because in this situation, openly "attacking" Livra's head would definitely increase everyone's sadness and cause public outrage.

Stop while you are ahead, stop while you are ahead~

For Xue Feiya, she became the lord of a territory with big fish, took away delicious food, and also brought a princess of the kingdom. It can be considered a great harvest, right?

Xue Feiya shook her head, gave Xia a look, and prepared to leave.

Well, after all, she still doesn't like such serious and depressing occasions.

But Xue Fei just turned around and wanted to yell at Livla to leave...

Among the queued crowd, there was a nervous voice of a passionate noble with tears streaming down his face, who raised his arm and shouted!

"Please wait a moment...! Your Majesty, please allow me to say something! Your Highness, the Demon Princess, please stay! Excuse me! Our kingdom has made so many concessions! Even Princess Livra...! Hey! Can you guarantee your sincerity in cooperating with the Kingdom of Orus! Can you guarantee that all the demons will support the decision we make at this meeting!"

Once the question was raised, similar questions arose.

The king, who was weak and still sad, also tried to signal to the Light family to make sure Princess Xuefia answered this question before leaving - because it was indeed very important.

It’s just that the old king is in a sad mood now, and he really doesn’t have the energy to continue to control the situation.

Ok?

Xue Feiya paused, thought for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of this last question.

The nobleman's words were very euphemistic, but his meaning was quite clear.

To put it simply, this is what it means.

——You have been away from the Demon Clan for so long, do you still have real power? Can you still represent the entire Demon Clan? You said you cooperated with the Kingdom and took away so many benefits. What if you can't represent the Demon Clan and the Demon King's army attacks again someday, what will you do about it?

Uh...this question is indeed a bit difficult to answer.

It is certain that Xue Feiya can influence the decision-making of the demons. After all, her father holds the real power, and she can insult her father, so there is no problem.

But she couldn't just say, "I'll go back and talk to my father and then give you an answer, right?"

Well, if it really doesn't work, then just fool around for now and say there's no problem. Later on, let Dad find a way to convey the official agreement to the kingdom.

It's a bit troublesome to do this...

While Xue Feiya was quickly thinking of a countermeasure, she heard a sound of people gasping for breath behind her - the terrified sound of those nobles, as if they had seen the devil.

At the same time, there was also the sound of the palace's council hall door, which weighed several tons, being slowly pushed open with a creaking sound.

"You can't go in...! No one can go in without an invitation... Damn it... How could she run so fast! Please stop!! Protect His Majesty the King!"

Although there were guards outside blocking the way, the approaching aura from behind was not hindered at all.

Haven't looked back yet.

Xue Fei already felt the familiar magical aura behind her.

Hey...

I told you to take good care of the house.

In the end, you still followed me.

Bellis.

77. Surrender

Bellis was wearing a black dress and smiling calmly. There was nothing else in her eyes except the reflection of Xuefiya when she looked back.

The second princess of the demon clan suddenly appeared without any warning, and her steps were as if she was in an empty space.

The guard knight who was rushing from behind her tried to throw a spear to block her, but a lavender barrier had already unfolded around Bellis' body, which was indestructible. When the weapon touched it, it only made a crisp sound and then fell to the ground powerlessly.

The lavender barrier turned into an invisible wall, blocking the entrance to the hall.

Now, not only the weapons, but even the knights outside the meeting room were blocked outside the hall.

Separated by this invisible magic wall, it is impossible to move forward any further.

The scene was in an uproar!

Those Kingdom Knights are indeed no match for the Five Wings.

But the members of the Wright family who had been guarding in the hall remained calm.

They raised their weapons and surrounded the royal family, demonstrating what was the most reliable sword and shield in the kingdom.

This time Xia also followed them!

Well...she knew that Sister Bellis came here at this time, definitely not to fight, but due to her status as a hero, she had to at least pretend to do so.

and...

Woo...I know you are Xuefei's biological sister

, you do have some special rights, but could you please stop sticking so close to her all the time... I was thinking of talking to Xuefei alone on the way back, but you are here to steal your sister again...!

Therefore, the action of raising the sword is not the duty of the hero.

It's a possessive instinctive behavior of a woman!

Go away, evil spirits, go away!

It doesn't matter.

Bellis didn't care about the uproar or the fighting.

She just kept on going steadily.

Her steps were flawless and graceful, like lotus flowers blooming in every step, and her appearance as a princess was natural and perfect.

"Livra... please stand aside for a moment. I think Belys may have some plans...Livra?"

Xuefia originally wanted to remind Livla to move aside a little so as not to hinder Belis's performance. After all, this child has been smart since she was young.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Fei turned around and found that Livra had already shrunk into the corner, smiling bitterly and waving her hand, to temporarily avoid the spotlight.

You guys...you run really fast!

There's nothing we can do about it, Miss Xia! Princess Bellis is just too fierce. Every time she sees me, she looks like she wants to tear me apart!

Oh...there's nothing I can do. I thought that when Bellis appeared, Livra felt insecure and subconsciously held my hand.

If she doesn't tear you apart, who else will she tear apart?

Bellis walked along the red carpet until she came to Xuefia.

Ignore the uproar and the clamor, and don't talk about the swordplay.

Bellis and Xuefia stood face to face, like two exquisite and beautiful dolls, one tall and one short, carved from the same mold.

Xue Feiya could only look up at Bellis.

The silver-haired Dumpling Loli blinked hard, as if asking Bellis what she was going to do.

Bellis still smiled but said nothing.

She was too lazy to talk to others.

She couldn't bear to say anything when it came to Sister Wang.

Aren't actions faster than words?

Xuefia’s gaze upwards gradually turned into a gaze downwards.

Bellis's black dress dragged to the crystal floor, like spreading ink, forming a sharp contrast with her silver hair.

Bellis knelt on one knee in front of Xuefia.

He lightly raised his hand to lift up Xuefei's fingers, then leaned forward with tenderness in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand.

"Belys Halder, the second princess of the demon clan, swears in the name of the demon god to submit to Xuefia Halder forever."

"...?!"

Xue Feiya was completely stunned.

She possesses great intelligence, so she is rarely stunned.

But...but Bellis, what are you doing all of a sudden? !

People who know nothing about demon culture may not understand it, but there are many well-traveled and knowledgeable nobles in Orus.

Soon, someone reacted and explained the meaning of Princess Bellis's behavior just now.

That is a kind of etiquette unique to the demon clan.

You have to know that the demons are all competitive, and their racial culture is based on strength, in other words, fighting.

Therefore, they have the most stringent definition of "status". If you want another demon to admit that you are stronger than him, you probably have to beat him half to death.

And then... there was a ceremony like this one.

The party who admits that he is slightly weaker and is convinced lowers his posture and kisses the back of the hand of the stronger party, which means swearing obedience, or even eternal submission.

Rituals like this are quite common among demon nobles, and they effectively maintain order among all levels of the demon clan.

But such a thing...is now happening among the royal family of the demon clan!

Besides, the devil only has two daughters.

What does Bellis Halder's behavior just now mean...?

The noble who was the first to figure it out already showed a considerable degree of surprise.

"It seems that the candidate for the next Demon King has been decided..."

"This is too sudden..."

"The second princess gave up the throne?! Hey, hey... This ceremony can't be taken back, especially in such a formal occasion..."

"It seems...Princess Baileys came here just to explain this point. Our previous question...is meaningless."

"That's true... Well, I can't really say whether this is a blessing or a curse for the kingdom."

Regardless of whether it is a blessing or a curse, there is no need to continue asking.

——Does Princess Xuefia’s promise hold true?

Ha... There is no doubt that the next demon king will be selected.

If it has no effect, then whose words will be useful?

These nobles could never have imagined that such a not-so-grand gathering would witness so many historically epoch-making events.

It was worth the trip.

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

"Hey... Bellis, I'm telling you... Even if you're trying to help me out, there's no need to use such extreme methods, right? Hey, if you were making such a joke in private, it would be fine, but you're doing it in front of so many people! It's going to take a lot of time for you to explain it, right? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, how come your personality isn't as bad as before, but you've become stupider!"

At the edge of the royal capital, there is a flowing water stream.

Under the starlit dome late at night, Xue Fei is educating her younger sister strictly!

Because she had something to say to Bellis alone, Xuefei had temporarily entrusted Livra to Xia and asked her to take Livra back to the suburban mansion first, and Xuefei herself would return later.

Bellis helped to rescue her, and Xuefei was very grateful.

But this method is too extreme and is not conducive to Bellis's future development!

If you do this, your prestige in the demon army and your reputation among the people will be greatly reduced. Have you ever thought about your own future? Don't you want to be recognized by everyone?

It's not that I'm worried that Bellis won't be the next Demon King.

Xue Feiya is mainly worried that she will become the next Demon King.

Then how can I arrange it?

result...

Bellis put her hands behind her back and listened patiently to Sister Wang's teachings. She nodded frequently and looked like she had learned her lesson.
