In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"You're still some distance away from being a qualified leader..."

Maria reached out and gently stroked the girl's face.

Although the girl has gained some awareness now, she is still far from becoming a qualified leader.

But there is really no need to rush this.

After all, even Theresa herself didn't know how she was chosen as the Demon King.

She simply wanted to protect her brother and other Sarkaz soldiers on the battlefield.

Then the black crown appeared on her body inexplicably.

Even at this time, she never realized that she was a demon king.

If it weren't for the quarrel between Maria and Ducare later, she might not even reveal her identity as the Demon King for a short time.

But the facts don't give people any chances. Now that she is the Demon King, she must take on the Demon King's responsibilities.

This is a forced, but unavoidable thing.

After thinking for a while, Maria did not wake the girl up. Instead, she gently comforted her, then carefully got up and left the room.

There were also guards patrolling the castle led by Theresis, and it was obvious that the fact that Maria spent a night here with Theresia would soon reach their ears.

But Maria had no hidden meaning.

She didn't do anything to Theresa. The two of them just chatted all night and then slept together.

There's nothing worth hiding.

Soon, she returned to the banshees' camp.

And here, Lamaren was still working at her desk.

It seemed like he hadn't slept all night.

"You're back?"

The witch sitting on the throne noticed Maria coming in, and she stopped working on the documents with the pen in her hand and looked at Maria with a smile.

But for some reason, Maria always felt that the other person was a little melancholy when she looked at his expression.

"What's wrong?"

Maria came over and sat next to the girl.

"Is there something wrong with the army again?"

“…Not really.”

Maria's thoughtfulness was a rare thing, but when she started talking about the army, Ramalen's smile felt a little forced.

Especially when Maria got close, besides the unique scent of incense on her body.

She could also smell another scent of flowers that was not familiar, but not unfamiliar either.

This made her brows twitch even more.

But then she pretended nothing had happened and continued asking.

"Did you... go to see His Highness yesterday?"

"Ah."

Maria did not hide anything. After a slight nod, she confessed her movements yesterday.

"I went to the Demon King's Castle to take care of some business... Then Theresa invited me to stay. Since it was late, I ended up sleeping with her for the night..."

"One night's sleep?!"

Ramalen's voice was a little distorted.

The banshee servants who wanted to pretend that they knew nothing could not help but open their eyes at this time.

The news was so explosive that they could no longer remain silent.

Looking at their companions, they could see the complicated expressions in each other's eyes.

no……

Princess, it’s only been a few days.

As a result, I have such a relationship with the current Demon King...

This……

Is this good or bad for the banshees?

At that moment, everyone realized the warning given by the older generation of banshees.

If the princess is too strong, it will cause problems in the royal court.

Just like today.

Princess Maria is not only the queen of the Banshees, but also the leader of the entire Sarkaz Civil War. Now she has a secret love affair with a new demon king...

Oh, I can’t say that.

But overall, Maria is now extremely powerful in Kazdel.

The only thing to be thankful for is that, at least for now, the relationship between the Lord and the Princess has not been particularly affected.

They still treated each other with respect and looked like a model couple.

I can only hope that things won't get too ugly...

Thinking of this, the banshee waiters beside them couldn't help but frown and sigh.

Lamaren on the side also realized that now was not a good time to talk about these things. She coughed twice and adjusted her mood slightly.

Lamaren, oh Lamaren, why are you so flustered?

You know Maria's character.

How could she be related to His Majesty the Demon King?

Besides, even though I have known Maria for a short time, it is at least longer than that of the Demon King, right?

I haven't developed anything on my side, let alone Theresa.

So, after taking a few deep breaths, Ramalen calmed herself down and put a calm smile on her face again.

"Is your highness okay now?"

"Ah."

Maria didn't mean to explain anything specifically. In her opinion, although Theresa was confused, it was normal.

only……

"You seem a little unwell?"

"Eh? Is there any?"

Lamaren turned her head slightly, her expression subtle.

She tried her best to act like she was fine.

But obviously, for Maria, she is better at listening to heartbeats.

"You don't look well, but your heartbeat is fast..."

Maria stretched out her hand, and under the gaze of all the maids, she gently passed through the banshee's hair and stroked her cheek.

Delicate fingers gently slid along the other's unique pointed ears...

A slightly itchy touch...

"Eh……"

Ramalen's face instantly turned red, and her whole body stiffened slightly.

Even the banshee attendants beside her couldn't stand her hesitant and shy look.

Our own lord... is really being completely taken advantage of by Her Royal Highness the Princess...

What should I do next?

For a moment, the banshees were all worried about their lord.

But what they are more worried about now is, what are they doing standing here?

It doesn't matter which of you two is here, give the order for us to leave.

Aren't we in the way?!

For a moment, everyone was extremely anxious.

However, this atmosphere only lasted for a while.

Soon, a banshee waiter named Mira also walked in.

When she saw Maria and Ramalen's actions, her face tightened.

But after all, she had followed Ramalen from the beginning, and Mira was knowledgeable, so she did not act too exaggeratedly. Instead, after thinking for a few seconds, she silently extended her hand.

"My Lord, Your Highness, the combat meeting is about to begin..."

She bowed slightly, her face calm.

The other banshee attendants were impressed by her appearance, as if they had seen it before.

As expected of the Lord's personal maid, she has such a good attitude!

Don't panic when seeing such a situation.

"Ah."

When it comes to serious matters, Maria is still quite serious.

After simply pulling Lamaren up from the side, she nodded slightly and immediately walked into the conference room with the two of them.

The maids who had no right to follow also gathered together carefully.

They looked at each other and understood what their companion wanted to mention.

But after half a day, no one spoke.

After several minutes, Mira shook her head silently.

"So...what exactly happened?"

"This……"

The other banshees frowned, but still told everything they had just heard.

It doesn't matter if Maria and Lamaren show their affection in public, after all, the people here are not outsiders.

Can……

Things become more delicate when the Banshee Princess and the Demon King spend a night together.

To put it simply, the Demon King is a female, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is also a female.

Although the banshees are not so strict about choosing a partner, they are also aware of their own uniqueness, which is not the case for people of other races.

The devil is not a banshee, and the two of them sleeping together only means that they have a good relationship and the devil trusts the banshees.

This is a great improvement for the status of the banshees.

But... to put it in a broader sense.

This is the Banshee Princess!

The princess actually slept in the same bed with the devil for a night.

Even if nothing happened, it's still very subtle to talk about it.

This is why the banshee maids are so entangled now.

Judging from the behavior of the princess and the lord, there is actually no emotional problem between the two, and everyone is the same as usual.

only……

Sleeping with the devil at this critical moment.

How much is this...
