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

Let’s not talk about Timani.

The fire lizard, who was leaning against the pillar and sulking for some unknown reason, was still wearing the clothes that Xuefei gave her.

There was no way, she was too poor and had no other clothes.

The only thing that makes Xuefei feel distressed is...

His eyes turned to the hilt of the sword hanging on Xia's waist.

Siletla woke up at noon, but in such a lively occasion, she said she felt very sleepy and had no energy, and might need to sleep for a while, so she decided not to come out.

When asked what happened to her, she said in a relaxed tone that she was fine, and asked everyone to have fun and not forget to leave some food for her, as she might recover her energy and have a good appetite in the middle of the night!

She said that she needed to rest and it was not appropriate for us to disturb her.

She said that the magic power consumed before would be restored in one day, but this time it seems that the recovery time required is longer than before...?

Xue Fei silently kept this situation in mind, intending to inquire about it and investigate it later.

There are many things that cannot be taken lightly.

While I was thinking about all sorts of things, the award ceremony seemed to have progressed to the next stage.

The king and queen whispered and discussed for a long time on the high platform, and finally the king nodded. Compared with the devilish behavior just now, his smile this time was much kinder.

Maybe he was also afraid of getting his head smashed.

"Haha, Xialeite, since there's no one else here, I'll just call you by your real name. Thank you for your contribution to the Demon King's army in this rebellion! You're a brave man, so it's a little strange to say this, but, regardless of your identity, you're a friend of our demon clan, and you're also someone that my Halder family values, there's no doubt about that."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xia lifted her skirt slightly and bent her knees, performing an elegant etiquette with outstanding temperament, luxury and elegance.

She actually didn't want to attend the award ceremony at all because it was too troublesome.

But who can blame Xuefei for always having a gleam of expectation in her eyes?

Isn’t there a saying that goes like this?

——Just pamper her.

With a wry smile and a sigh, Shia heard the Demon King's earnest question.

"Xialet, you can make a request. What reward do you want? As long as it is reasonable and within the reach of my demon clan, I can give it to you!"

"Um...?"

Xia didn't know why.

Hearing this, she subconsciously turned around and looked at Xue Feiya.

Xuefei is playing rock-paper-scissors with Bellis to decide who will speak at the ceremony in the suburbs later.

Sensing a certain gaze, Xuefei's hair stood up!

Eh?

She looked around and didn't see any danger...?

But why did I have this terrible intuition that I might be eaten by a wild beast at any time?

She didn't notice it because Xia had already looked away.

The devil has already asked the question, and it would be rude to delay answering it.

Xia smiled bitterly. Sometimes she felt that she was too "greedy".

Between Sia and Xuefei

The relationship and love between them was eternal and only known to the two of them. It did not need to be proposed in the form of a "reward" on such an occasion, nor did it need to be recognized by the world.

not to mention...

If I really say that now, I will definitely be beaten out by the Demon King and his wife!

"Your Majesty, I don't have any special hope for any reward. I just hope... you know that I am a brave warrior from Orus. If possible, I hope you can give me the privilege of coming to the Demon Territory at any time."

"Oh, you want this privilege, you want to see Xue Feiya, right? It's okay, you can take her away anytime! This ghost thing is almost worrying me to death, take her away quickly, and I will give you another medal!"

"?!"

Privilege it… Privilege it to the next level!

The devil stopped talking immediately after saying this.

Because he found that his second daughter suddenly spread her black wings, and there was a chaotic murderous look in her eyes.

No, Dad, can’t I just stop talking?

Let’s leave this topic aside for now.

The Demon King shook his head, which seemed to prove that he was not very satisfied with Xia's response just now.

"Don't just talk about empty rewards... Xue Feiya was taken care of a lot when she was in your Kingdom of Orus. I heard that she was even given the title of Border Earl? It's so funny. Now that you are here, if I don't give you anything, it would seem that my demon leader is stingy. By the way, Xialet, let me propose something. Do you think it's okay?"

"Please...please go on?"

70. Respect

Judging from the tone of the Demon Lord, he must have thought of some reward that is quite meaningful and valuable, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Dizna deliberately sneered and delayed speaking for a while, keeping the secret and pretending to be mysterious, then glanced at Livra. There was a look of boasting in the devil's eyes.

After Livra tilted her head in confusion.

Dizna stood up and declared proudly!

"I have decided! I will reward the Kingdom's brave warrior Shialet with 500 magic gold coins, 500 magic silver coins, and 500 magic copper coins! Brave warrior, you don't have to be grateful for our generosity. As someone whom Xuefia trusts and values, these are the rewards you deserve!"

"..."

Xia didn't even bother to say thank you.

The main thing is...Xia feels a bit speechless, right?

So you thought about it for a long time, and seemed to be so noble and upright, but in the end you ended up giving money directly in the most tacky way? !

It’s not that Xia was dissatisfied with the reward, but the progress was too far from what she had imagined, and she felt quite dissatisfied for a while.

Since she didn't say anything, the devil thought she was shocked because the reward was too generous?

A dark vortex appeared behind Dizna, which was the result of the [Storage] magic being activated without chanting.

There was no need to use hands to take them. Several large and exquisite boxes flew out from [Storage] in an orderly manner and spread out on the ground in front of Xia. The lids of the treasure boxes opened automatically after they landed on the ground, and the lids hit the ground with a bang, reminding everyone to look at the boxes.

A golden light suddenly appeared.

The box was filled with the common currency of the Demon Clan.

The purchasing power of the demon gold coins is roughly equivalent to five times that of the Orus gold coins, and the same goes for the magic silver coins and magic copper coins.

So, if we look at the amount of money, it is indeed a lot, or even a lot.

The Demon King glanced at Livra who seemed to be in deep thought, and he chuckled secretly, showing his great pride.

Did you see that, Princess of Orus? I heard that when the king of your country rewarded Xuefia, he could only give out land and titles, food and gifts, but not real money?

Laugh to death.

This is the difference in financial strength between the Demon Territory and your Kingdom of Orus!

There is no way. Demons like to show off their military power and financial strength. This is the inner desire of the demons, and it is also the Demon King’s hopeless ambition.

Below, Xia looked around at the treasure boxes filled with gold coins. She originally wanted to decline, after all, she was not short of money. But it seemed inappropriate to just reject these rewards given to her by the Demon King.

Until Xia saw the silver-haired ball rushing to the front of the treasure box after smelling the scent.

Xia immediately made up her mind and knew what to do.

"Well, okay, Your Majesty, I will accept these rewards. Thank you."

"Hahaha! Just accept it! As a demon clan leader, I have no shortage of money, let alone anything else!"

Xia smiled bitterly and nodded in response, then without waiting a moment, she slowly walked to Xuefei and touched her little head.

"Xuefei, let me put it away for you, you keep it."

“Eh?! Are you really giving it to me? Hehehe, this is so embarrassing!”

"Well, sister, it's useless to have so much money. Why don't you go buy donuts? You should be able to buy a lot."

"Hehehe...Thank you, Sister Xia~"

"You know how to be sweet now, right? You clever little rascal."

The devil was stunned.

Seeing that Bellis also took out money from her pocket and anxiously stuffed it into Xuefia's hand, the Demon King slammed the throne angrily and stood up!

"Why did you give the money to this bastard?! Xia Lai Te, what do you mean? This is a reward from the king, and you just gave it away? Uh... although it's given to my daughter, it shouldn't be too much?"

Hearing this, Xia temporarily stopped helping Xuefei move the box into her magic storage, and turned around to politely respond to the Demon King's question.

"Your Majesty, my money is usually spent together with us. In other words, my money is Xuefei's money. Is there anything wrong with this? Didn't you say that these gold coins were given to me as a reward?"

"That's true... uh, the question is... uh? What went wrong? It's weird."

The devil never wanted to give his eldest daughter too much pocket money. This girl was too generous. She would collect donuts even if she couldn't eat them. She bought fish fry and opened the lake at a crazy speed. She also used money to buy raw materials to research all kinds of strange magic and cause explosions.

At this moment, seeing Xuefei collecting the crumbs from the gold coin box with a beautiful smile as if she had made a great harvest, Dizna felt extremely uncomfortable.

unwise!

Timani was not sulking this time. It was said that the dragon clan loved rare treasures. She walked over to take a look at the gold coins. She couldn't say how much she liked them, but she knew that one magic gold coin was enough for her to eat for a month. She was quite surprised to see this scene.

"Salamander... I'm telling you, being a dragon requires quality. Don't think about getting something for nothing."

"Huh, do you think I would steal your gold coins?"

"Of course I'm not worried. Look, they're all gone. I've put them all away!"

"Damn it... It's just money... I can also make money by washing dishes! I still have several copper coins now!"

"...How about I give you one later...?"

"No need for your pity!"

Oh, now I know why she is sulking. It’s a poverty disease and there is no cure.

After collecting all the gold coin boxes, Xue Fei thanked Xia crazily, but she did not notice the triumphant smile on Xia's lips.

Xue Fei...There is a saying that goes, "If you take something from someone, you will be grateful; if you eat something from someone, you will be soft-hearted."

So, will my sister have more say in the future?

At night, sister wants to see how soft your mouth is.

Xia used the gold coins she didn't care about to get the biggest reward. For once, she felt that she was smart!

Dizna slumped on the throne, grief-stricken over the loss of the gold coin, no longer wanting to speak.

And this also seems to mean that this family reward ceremony, which is like playing house, can be declared over.

However...

Queen Heralet, who had been silent until now, adjusted the blue crystal crown with gold edges on her head, walked forward steadily as if moving horizontally, and stood in front of the throne.

She waited patiently for the children to recover from the ecstasy of getting the gold coins.

After waiting for them to gradually quiet down and naturally shift their attention to me...

The queen suddenly put away her smile, and her temperament changed drastically. She waved her sleeves in a serious, majestic and dignified manner.

Thus declared.

"In the name of the Halder royal family, I declare that Xia Halder is the new lord of the border fortress [Lidqidu], and is promoted to the honorary border duke. You will enjoy the power of territorial autonomy, and can travel freely on the road from Lidqidu to the royal city of Cambeno without being questioned at the border. You can enjoy all the rights enjoyed by the demon nobles!"

A clear yet gentle voice rang out, coming suddenly.

As the words fell and the echo had not yet faded, everyone was blinking and not reacting.

Herald's seriousness disappeared, and she slowly transformed from the majestic and superior queen to the smiling and loving mother.

"Well, how about this? Are the children satisfied?"

"Ah..." Xia finally sorted out the meaning of the announcement in her mind, "Thank... Thank you, Queen, but I...!"

"Wow! Shia, now you are also a border lord! We are even now!"
