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

"Isn't that enough? Ha, all the ministers please listen carefully."

The woman who symbolized the beauty of the demon clan had six wings extended from behind her. She slowly raised her arms and called on her ministers.

One can hold a high position not because he or she holds this temperament, but because one is born with this temperament.

"According to the rules of our demon clan, we will never punish the entire clan just because your family members made mistakes. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. If Lord Sarno is loyal to the country, we naturally don't need to punish loyal ministers for the mistakes of others. That is wrong and sad."

The words fell.

There were actually many sighs of relaxation and relief heard in the hall.

Even more so, there was applause of recognition that surged like waves.

Livra couldn't help but applaud twice, but after a warning look from Belis, she shrank her neck again.

Woo...but she really admires the queen!

It is obvious that many of these nobles present are related to the rebels.

After all, the relationships in the army are complicated, and it is not surprising that children of nobles or collateral relatives join the army. These nobles are just worried that if the rebellion is suppressed later, the royal family will implicate them and liquidate them because of this not-so-close relationship. What should they do then?

Should I cooperate with the Demon King's army to wipe out the rebels... or should I just go all out and rebel to protect myself as much as possible?

If there is no way out, I'm afraid some people will really take risks.

If that were to happen, the capital would be in chaos again before the rebellion was quelled.

With just a few words, the queen had made a promise to all the nobles present.

——The post-war settlement will definitely not be held against you, so you can just let go without worrying, just cooperate with the Demon King's army and do what you are supposed to do.

After doing this, Herilite gave new instructions to Sarno in the audience.

"Your Majesty and I believe that Lord Sarno is a brother to the rebel leader. It is not only cruel but also unnecessary to let you brothers kill each other."

"Don't worry, Queen! I am willing to kill the thieves and set an example for the Demon King's army!"

"Your determination is commendable, but Lord Sarno, this is also His Majesty's will, so you should just follow his instructions. Leading the troops in battle can be left to others."

"I obey your command."

Even if Sarno wanted to lead the troops himself to prove that he had no ulterior motives.

But it seems...the queen doesn't intend to give him this chance.

This is normal and the most correct judgment.

avoid arousing suspicion.

The queen has a lot to consider. Even if Sarno is loyal at this moment, who can guarantee that when he arrives on the battlefield and sees his brothers, he will not change his mind and be merciful, or even change his allegiance?

Rather than taking unnecessary chances, it is better to choose a safer option.

"Xue Fei... your mother is really amazing. With just a few words... she has calmed the suspicion and confined the chief of staff to the capital."

"It's awesome, isn't it? It's even more awesome when you pull my ears."

"You asked for it... Well, this is not something that can be delayed. I think your mother should immediately appoint a commander to send troops to fight. There is no time to consider the pros and cons of a rebellion."

"Yes, let's hurry up. A good nap time has been messed up. I don't know which damn person is planning a rebellion. Queen Mother, please choose whoever you want. Quickly nominate a commander to solve this troublesome matter! Choose whoever you want...! Uh...?"

Mother...Queen Mother?

Please mobilize the troops quickly so that I can go back to sleep.

But why are you looking at me suddenly?

37. Plot against me!

Fortunately, before Xuefei could get angry from the eye contact between mother and daughter, the door of the Demon King's Palace was pushed open again.

Logically speaking, if only a noble was late, it would not be worthy of attracting everyone's attention.

But this time, the moment the door was pushed open.

A huge and tangible magical power filled the entire hall, and the noise instantly fell into dead silence as if entering a vacuum.

The slightly weaker three-winged demon nobles could even feel their breathing becoming difficult.

This is normal.

After all, when the six-winged demons do not suppress the leakage of their magic power due to anger, there will be such a majestic momentum.

The old voice came from far away.

Although he was very old, there was still some anger in him.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that there are rebels causing chaos. Is this true?"

"Sir Geoffrey, you are very late."

"Oh...! I really can't believe that there would be rebels in the Demon King's army now. I thought it was a joke played by the servants. Ha... It's really because of my old age and poor supervision that these scoundrels are allowed to run rampant...! Oh, it seems that some people feel that their lives are too comfortable and their lives are too long!"

Every sneer sent out ripples of magical power wherever the crutch touched the ground, blowing the candles in the hall to this and that.

The six-winged demon Geoffrey.

A murderous gleam flashed in the corners of his wrinkled eyes as he glanced at Sarno who was half-kneeling on the ground.

As the greatest noble of the demon clan, Jeffrey is the elder of all nobles. Upon hearing that Sarno’s brother was rioting in the army, the old man felt that this was not only a shame, but also more like someone was slapping him in the face.

If this doesn't give us some color...how can we talk about the majesty of your majesty's royal power in the future!

But the magical storm around Jeffrey is getting more and more intense...

——and suddenly disappeared again.

A hint of surprise suddenly appeared in the old man's eyes.

Because he saw Princess Xuefia sitting in the corner of the hall.

Princess Xuefia is back after all?

But what confused Jeffrey was not Xuefeiya's return. After all, this was something the servants had reported to him a long time ago.

To his surprise...

Is Xue Feiya making some incomprehensible gestures at this moment?

She pointed at herself, then at the ceiling, then hammered her fragile little arms and suddenly raised her hands high like a fairy scattering flowers.

I didn’t understand what she wanted to say, but Jeffrey’s anger just now could not be maintained.

He muttered to himself with a wry smile, unconsciously retracting all the magic power that was caused by his anger.

"This little brat... is still as energetic as before... Haha, I thought that living a hard life in the human king's capital would temper your character... But I was overthinking..."

He kept talking to himself, which made Xue Feiya very anxious!

She was so angry that she slapped the disguised holy sword on Xia's waist with her little hand, causing the sword tip to make a sound that sounded somewhat miserable.

"Uncle Jeffrey...! Don't just say you're angry but do nothing! Why don't you nominate yourself as the commander-in-chief to quell the rebellion! I'm so worried."

"Hmm?" Xia tilted her head and looked at Xue Fei who was getting more and more anxious. "Xue Fei, do you think Mr. Jeffrey is the most suitable candidate? Indeed, he is very strong."

"This is not a question of whether it's appropriate or not! Oh, Xia, you don't understand... the look in my mother's eyes just now

There is definitely a hidden meaning. I have a feeling that if Uncle Jeffrey doesn't take over as the commander, I will be in big trouble!"

"What...! Then...then you tell him through telepathy?"

"No, Uncle Jeffrey is too cautious. He is always maintaining a magic barrier, so telepathy is ineffective. But I just reminded him with my actions, so he should understand, right?"

"hint?"

"Yes, clapping your arms means 'the whole commander is in charge', and raising your hands high means 'bravely recommend yourself'!"

"Who can understand this?!"

No, no, no... Judging from the way Sister Bellis kept nodding her head in admiration, she actually understood it?!

But it's a pity.

She might be the only one who could understand the abstract meaning expressed by Xuefei's body movements.

Hererite sat back in the seat that belonged to the queen, smiling without saying a word.

The confused devil was left standing in front of the stage.

Uh... so what? Herald? Who is the commander pointing to?

In fact, everyone already has their own firm guess.

Now that Jeffrey is here, there's probably no suspense, right?

He has great prestige, the longest seniority, and undisputed experience in leading troops.

The most important thing is that we can't beat him.

As long as Jeffrey says that he wants to quell the rebellion, His Majesty the Demon King should have no reason to refuse.

but...

Although Jeffrey was angry during this trip, he didn't seem to be in a hurry?

The crutch in his hand turned into a magical light and disappeared. His legs were inconvenient and it took him some effort to half-kneel down.

"Sir Geoffrey, you don't have to be so polite." Herilite smiled slightly, as if she knew something in advance. "Since you are here, does that mean that the matter I asked you to supervise has been completed?"

"Your Majesty, I will prepare everything. The troops to defeat the rebels are already on the way."

Ah? ?

The speed at which events were changing was far beyond the imagination of the nobles.

They were still discussing who to choose as the commander one second ago, but the next second, the expeditionary troops were already on the road?!

Perhaps it is because they are not at the top level after all, and their efficiency in obtaining war information is still too low.

Well, but Dizna, as the highest-ranking demon king, obviously has no idea about this.

Nothing.

The army moved, but I don’t know, I’ve gotten used to being the devil.

Chief of Staff Sarno never stopped thinking.

Upon hearing that troops had already taken action, he was surprised and reacted quickly.

"Lord Geoffrey, are you talking about...?"

"Yes, Sarno, there is only one legion of the Demon King's army that can be mobilized outside the garrison."

"That's true...but that unit is too...too unreliable."

"That's not something you need to worry about, young man. Just think about your own business."

"Yes... Lord Geoffrey is right. When I catch my bastard brother, I will kill him with my own hands... But if they encounter a high-level race without the order of the First Legion, they may not be able to cope with it...!"

"If we encounter a high-level race, we will destroy them all. As a member of our demon clan, we do not need to fear any enemy."

"..."

Sarno really has no say now. Being implicated by his brother, he is now just a man making amends for his crime.

But as the corps chief of staff, he still felt that this was inappropriate!

"Your Majesty the Demon King...! I know it's inappropriate to say this... But that unit is indeed undisciplined, and there are too many uncertainties... If possible, I would like to request that the First Legion attack as soon as possible. As long as we travel day and night, we will definitely be able to intercept the rebels before them!"

"?"

No.

So that's the unit you're talking about.

Which unit is it?!

"The Demon King's Army, the Second Legion."

Heraelite remained silent until this point, and finally smiled with satisfaction as she looked around the Demon King's Hall.

She pressed her palms together to signal Dizna to sit back on the throne.

Once the Demon King is firmly in power, it seems to be announcing how little fear there is in rebellion.

What no one noticed was that when Herilite announced the name of the army that had already set out to the rebels' location to prepare for battle, the hair on Princess Xuefia's head trembled, as if she had sensed something quite bad!

The sound of discussion is far greater than the praise.
