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

Arriving at the royal capital...some challenges have just begun.

Don't worry, Xuefei.

Sister is willing to protect the life you want.

no sooner said than done.

7. Got it!

"Is it okay if I don't hurry over?"

"I have already informed the king through the communication crystal. I will probably arrive a little later. Since we need to 'safely imprison the demon princess', no one will find it strange if I go a little later."

"Hey~ I didn't expect that I would have such a big presence. I was captured and brought to the capital, and you, the king, actually urgently summoned all the lords in the country to hold a meeting?"

"It's just that you, Xue Fei, are not aware of it... To be honest, the seriousness of this matter is no less than a change of royal power."

"Wow...I'm so great!"

"Yes, yes, my Xuefei is the greatest."

"How can I become your family...! Well, well, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Now I am staying at your house, so let's just leave it at that for now!"

The capital of the kingdom, a suburb slightly away from the center of town.

The two-story house with porcelain white exterior walls is built along the lake.

The entire mansion is reflected in the sparkling lake water, and the mirrored flowers and water moons sway in the wind, creating an elegant and graceful look.

This is the home of the kingdom's only hero, Shialet.

It was a reward from King Orus in recognition of his achievements, and it represents glory and peace.

The carriage that brought Xia and Xuefei back is now parked next to the lake.

Several tall horses that had been running all the way were now lowering their heads to nibble on the grass beside the clear water lake. After running a long way home, they were all very comfortable eating some grass.

At this time, Xialet and Xuefeiya were standing in front of the door of the mansion with exquisite wood carvings.

Xia activated the magic power in her hands, and a golden halo spread from her fingertips to the sky, gradually forming a shining barrier that enveloped the entire mansion.

The large-scale [High-level Protective Barrier] used to resist external attacks only flashed a few times before becoming invisible.

You can't see it, but it works.

Xiaya knew that Xuefei might not need protection, but she still wanted to make things safer and more secure.

Moreover, this barrier can completely isolate external perception, which is very necessary.

Xue Feiya stood on tiptoe, raising her body as high as possible to look around the lake in front of her and the mountains in the distance.

This long-lost beautiful view made the light in her eyes shine even brighter, and she was even so happy that she jumped twice on the spot!

Until she realized that Xia was still looking at her lovingly, Xue Feiya quickly stopped her childish behavior, coughed twice with dignity and started the conversation again.

"Well, I have to say that the environment around your house is really nice, with nothing but mountains and water. The only problem is that I can't see anyone even after jumping around for hours. After all...is this really your house? Not in some deep mountain forest?! Are you thinking of living in seclusion? Xia, you are so young, this idea is terrible!"

"I'm not as sad as you think!"

"Ugh!"

Xia decisively used her hand to lightly hit Xuefei's head to stop the little guy's rich imagination from continuing to wander.

She also looked at the green mountains and clear waters around her, then nodded with satisfaction and explained.

"The Kingdom of Orus has a large territory, and the thing it has the most is land, so the king often rewards meritorious officials with large pieces of fiefdom. I don't usually live here. When I return to the capital, I usually go to the town to visit my parents. This place has been idle. I will live with Xuefei in the future, isn't this the perfect place? It's secluded and quiet, and no one will disturb us."

"Aww... this really fulfills my dream of becoming a hermit."

"..."

So this is your dream, Xuefei!

Resisting the urge to continue attacking with her gentle knife hand, Xia sighed deeply and gave up.

She took Xuefia to the carriage by the lake, picked up the golden holy sword [Silatla] placed in the carriage with one hand, and pinned it to the hilt strap at the waist of her pure white dress.

With the sparkling light of the clear lake as the background, Sia's golden hair is as brilliant as a golden galaxy, perfectly combining mature beauty with heroic spirit.

This scene was much more beautiful than the scenery in the distance, so Xue Feiya couldn't help but give a thumbs up in approval.

"High, it is high!"

"Xue Fei, please stop saying weird things... Just wait for me at home. It's okay to be late, but this gathering is so large that nobles from all over the country are here. If I'm not there, people will inevitably make irresponsible remarks."

"That's right. After all, it was you who arrested me! If they have a meeting and you don't show up, what's the point of having it? The kingdom should just stop working early!"

"I really want to grab your eloquent little mouth...!"

Xia rubbed Xuefei's cute little face hard, and she felt completely healed.

With one hand supporting the base of the carriage, Xia jumped lightly and leaped onto the floor of the carriage in a rather chic manner.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Xia was obviously going to attend an important meeting, but her mind was still full of things about Xue Feiya.

"Xuefei, I have just shown you where the bedroom is. If you are tired, you can take a nap first. If anything happens, feel free to contact me using the communication crystal."

"Don't worry!" Xue Feiya patted her steel-like chest and made a sonorous sound. "I only need a bed, a big soft bed! I can have a wonderful sleep that you can't even imagine."

The previous sentence was still full of energy and saying happy words.

But the next second, Xue Feiya's sudden loneliness was all reflected in Xia's eyes.

"Also...if it's convenient for you, could you bring something for me on the way home? I kind of miss it..."

"Xuefei..."

Xia felt distressed.

She thought... Xue Fei must be upset about leaving her hometown, and she must be thinking of some things that she had when she was in the Demon Territory...

In addition to hiding her "running away from home" from the Demon King and the Queen, it was said that she had a younger sister at home, the second princess of the demon clan.

I can’t tell anyone...I don’t know when I can go back, so how can I not feel lonely?

So Xia gritted her teeth, grasped the holy sword tightly, and promised.

"Xue Fei, just tell me. As long as it can be found within the kingdom... no, as long as it exists in this world, I will bring it back for you."

"real?!"

"It's true."

"You're so nice! Then I'll tell you something! That is... do you have those kinds of donuts in your kingdom? Strawberry flavored ones, preferably ones with real strawberries! Ah, you don't know... I've been staying in the Demon King's camp for a long time, and I haven't had donuts in a long time. I really miss them! I'm about to cry!"

"..."

The hand that was holding the holy sword...why was it gradually losing strength?

Xuefei, your saliva is about to drip down?

It seems there is no need to worry at all... Xue Fei is more contemptuous... ahem, stronger than I thought.

Sitting upright in the carriage, Xialet nodded in agreement.

"Okay... I'll help you find some donuts when I come back, but that will have to wait until this meeting is over. I'm sure this meeting will definitely involve something about you, Xuefei."

"

Don't be cool, is this your guess? "

"Wow...that's what you just told me, Xuefei."

"Hehe, this is called wisdom."

Stupid Xia can't predict it, but Xue Feiya can!

At that time, at the assembly, the king will definitely mention the issue of his own disposal.

Basically, Xue Fei had already explained this to Xia on the way back.

Xia tapped her own forehead gently, as if secretly blaming herself for her lack of wisdom.

Then she clenched her fist and promised.

"I'm actually not as dumb as you say, Xuefei... I'll just adapt to the situation when the time comes. And... Xuefei."

"Ok?"

Xia's eyes suddenly became evasive, and she sounded so soft when she said these words, completely lacking the heroic demeanor of a brave hero.

"Xuefei...I...I'll be back soon, okay?"

"..."

She hesitated and looked around.

It seemed as if he was expecting Xue Fei to give an excellent response.

Xue Feiya blinked her eyes. It was impossible for her to be disappointed!

The first princess of the demon clan put her hands on her hips and said this with such confidence!

"What else? If you don't go back soon, my donuts will be gone!"

"Sherfei!!"

"Hahaha sorry~~ I understand, I understand, I was just kidding~"

This time, Xue Feiya put her hands on her waist and slowly clasped them behind her back.

She leaned forward, tilted her head, narrowed her eyes and smiled brightly.

The smile showing the little canine teeth is like a blessing that can melt the ice.

The long silver hair sparkles in the sun, showing the most genuine cuteness in the world.

The sweet voice almost melts the heart.

"Sister, have a nice trip~"

"!"

The brave man's deep blue eyes suddenly lit up.

She turned her head and quickly called the horses to set off immediately.

Even though the horse had not yet eaten its fill of the lush grass and water, how could it disobey its master's orders?

As several horses raised their heads and neighed, the carriage swept towards the distant direction of the inner city of the royal capital like the wind.

——Leaving Xue Feiya alone standing there in a daze.

She squatted down, walked to the lake, picked a small flower, and fell into a brief thought.

Ha...it's a bit rude to say this.

But I always feel that after reuniting with Xia, Xia's condition sometimes seems a little strange.

For example, just now, oh...it's understandable what happened just now. She had to go to a meeting, so she was a little nervous and wanted to relieve it. It's understandable.

For example, on the way back, she seemed to keep looking at me from time to time... No, no, no, this must be an illusion, right? Am I overly self-conscious?

Humph, anyway, Xue Feiya firmly believes it.

The pure sisterhood between Xia and I is long-standing and does not contain a single impurity!

She didn't even ask me for living expenses!

Although I don't want to admit it, even if Xia is stupid, she is still my respected sister.

I believe we will be more friendly to each other in the future!

Xue Feiya put her hands behind her head and walked forward, planning to go back to the house to take a nap and wait for Xia to come home. It would be no fun to be alone anyway, and she couldn't be too arrogant at this stage, so she just had to wait obediently.

But...

But she passed by the lake.

Lake? Fish?

There is a lake and there are fish.

A lake with fish and a lake of fish...

Um...
