The Unemployed Demon Lord

"...Mom, I will be obedient... The little girl shrank into the cup and closed her eyes obediently.

Alice smiled, stroked the little girl's black hair, then got up and left the room, only to find Merlin standing against the wall.

"Tsk! You guys always blackmail me in private." Merlin raised his head and said with a bit of complaint in his tone, "I don't know how to eat kids, I don't have that habit, really, scare kids Things like children always move me out, have I provoked anyone?

"Where do you get so many opinions? You are a villain in the first place. If you don't bring out a demon like you, how can you calm down children?" Alice said confidently.

"I have nothing to say." Merlin spread out his hands, feeling that as a demon king, he would always be used to frighten children, and his image would only become more and more demonized. It seemed that he would be a villain all his life Characters, there will never be a day of recovery.

But these are trivial matters, and Merlin doesn't really care about them, but he is somehow dissatisfied with being treated as a man-eating demon for no reason.

"Suddenly you have something to do with me?" Alice asked straight to the point, thinking that Merlin would not be idle and wait for her here.

"Yeah, I'm pretty much ready. We'll leave Avignon tomorrow morning and go directly to the capital of France." Merlin said succinctly.

"Leaving tomorrow? How fast."

Alice lowered her head. In the past few days, she already knew about the correspondence between Camilla and Prime Minister Meadows. "Is the Prime Minister of the Empire really behind the scenes?"

"It shouldn't be wrong. The content of the letter is very clear. All the people kidnapped by Camilla were sent to the prime minister of the empire. Even if they are not the real mastermind behind the scenes, they must be big fish." Merlin paused, meaningful He continued, "Since Camilla is a vampire, the chancellor of the empire must not be a good thing. We may find out the whole blood clan in France, and the secret of Dracula's ruins will also surface.

It makes sense, so many people were kidnapped and sent to the imperial capital, there must be some secret, maybe something is going on behind the scenes... Alice frowned, showing a puzzled expression.

"Investigate these things in the imperial capital, and there should be something to gain." Merlin didn't have any idea for the time being, but changed the subject, "After we leave tomorrow, the child will be taken care of by Mr. Akaron temporarily, right?

"Ah?!" Alice looked up in surprise, startled by Merlin's words.

"Because our mission is too dangerous, Mr. Akaron will no longer be our guide. He plans to return to Maverick Town. It is just right that he can temporarily entrust the little girl to his care. Find a way to deal with the child. Merlin expressed his plan, wanting to temporarily hand over the little girl to the care of Old Akalon, so that he and Alice won't be too worried. "Yeah, he feels that he is dragging us down. , Even if there is trouble, he can't help much. Now that he has found the clue of the blood race, he should go back and rest. "Merlin felt that it was no problem for old Akaron to leave, after all, he was so old.

"But...isn't it good to leave the child in the care of Mr. Akaron? She might be very sad, thinking that I abandoned her." Alice was full of worries in her heart, and she didn't want to let this clingy little guy leave her.

"Alice, this is also for the sake of the child. You have seen it. If we don't pay attention to her, she will be kidnapped. It is too dangerous for her. Maybe we can save it this time, and next time? You can guarantee it This child will definitely not be in danger? Please enlighten me, children don't have that much thoughtfulness." Merlin said to Alice seriously, hoping that she would see the reality clearly.

"This..." Alice lowered her head and fell into hesitation. Merlin was right. It is too dangerous for the little girl to stay by her side. She is still on the way of the mission. It is impossible to settle the child down. It seems that it can only be temporarily Leave it to Mr. Akaron to take care of...

next morning.

Merlin and Alice got a carriage and secretly left Avignon without anyone noticing.

Now the identities of the two are wanted criminals, and they are suspected of assassinating the French lord, so they should keep a low profile.

Old Acaron took the little girl and bid farewell to Merlin and Alice.

"Is this going to leave?" Old Akaron asked.

"Yes, now that Camilla is dead, it is possible that the prime minister of the empire will double, so it is better to go to the imperial capital early to prevent things from changing." Merlin said calmly, probably the prime minister already knew about Camilla's death information.

"Old Mr. Akaron, please take care of this child. We will return to Maverick Town after we finish our business, and we won't cause you any trouble." Alice said in a serious tone.

Old Akaron held the little girl's hand and scratched his head, "Don't be so oblivious, I will do my best to do what Miss Ashley ordered, so don't worry, I will take care of her like my granddaughter . of "Then I will trouble you. "Alice bowed slightly, expressing her gratitude to old Akalon, she was still a little bit reluctant to leave the little girl behind suddenly.

Mom, don't go!don't leave me! "The little girl threw herself into Alice's arms, tears streaming down uncontrollably, her eyes were red and swollen.

Alice sighed, squatted down, looked into the little girl's eyes and said, "Mom is going to a very dangerous place, and she will come back after finishing her work. She didn't abandon you, you have to learn to behave yourself, you know?"

"But... But I'm afraid I won't see my mother again... The little girl just found out that Alice was leaving this morning, and she was very disappointed." Silly child, how could I not come back?Mom promises you that she will definitely come back to pick you up. If you don't believe me, we will pull the hook...

Alice smiled and held out her little finger.

The little girl hesitated for a while, and silently hooked her little finger up, "Mom, I will wait for you

"Then you must be good. Mom doesn't like naughty children. You should listen to Grandpa Acaron, okay?" Alice's eyes were a little red, thinking that the child was in trouble, and she didn't know what would happen to her after she left. What is it like to be lost?

"Well, I will definitely listen to what mother says." The little girl nodded heavily, her red eyes appearing very aggrieved.

Merlin looked at Alice and the little girl from a distance, especially the little fingers hooked together, and couldn't help but sighed deeply—what can we do next?

Alice this guy.

Already doing a fake show, right?

No.17 The Arrogant Monarch VS The Gluttonous Monarch Chapter 1: Margaret

The capital of France, the arena.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

A young man screamed and was beaten to the ground on the spot.

This person is a swordsman from a foreign country, and he came here to marry Princess Margaret.

The basic rules of martial arts recruiting relatives can only be achieved by defeating the number one warrior in France.

This mountain blocked many guys who came to challenge, but no one has succeeded so far.

The shirtless, muscular middle-aged man in the distance is France's number one warrior, Blaise.

Blaise is a loyal fighter who serves the royal family. He became a holy rank powerhouse at a young age and served as the knight commander of the Royal Army.

Although he is 38 years old this year, he is an out-and-out uncle, but his strength has never shown signs of retreating, and has become stronger instead.

Now Blaise is the commander of the Imperial Army, responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family. He is recognized as the number one warrior in France, and together with the other two, he is called the Three Knights of France.

Blaise is very muscular, and his whole body is as strong as a steel plate that can make a sound when it is bumped. The appearance alone can make people feel intimidated.

The soldiers said he was a chariot, and as long as he stood on the battlefield, France was invincible.

Blaise is different from those guys with family inheritance, he climbed up step by step on his own.

The fighting style is called Yeluzi by the orthodox knights, it is completely like fighting in a tavern, as long as you can win, you can use any dirty moves.

Although he has no rules to speak of in battle, and always makes surprise attacks, his character is not bad, and he is admired by the knights.

Blaise slowly put the epee on his shoulder. This three-meter-long epee was made of black mountain copper.

Black Mountain Copper is a very hard metal, and it is very ductile, which is very suitable for the brute force of Blaise.

Rather than saying that this giant sword is Blaize's weapon, it is better to say that he is a monument of meritorious service. The obvious scratches on it are the best proof.

Every time Blaise wins a battle with a holy rank expert, he will carve a scratch on his epee as a souvenir.

Looking at the countless scratches on the epee, I don't know how many holy-level powerhouses Blaise has defeated.

Blaise was carrying a huge sword on his waist, looking down from a height on the young people who came to the competition to recruit relatives. The scar on his left eye looked terrible.

"Your strength is not qualified to marry Her Royal Highness, a high-ranking person dares to challenge me, did you come here to commit suicide?"

"Uh..." The young man looked at the strong Blaise, trembling with fright.

"A weak opponent like you will only waste my time. To be honest, I can defeat you with one finger." Blaize waved his hand and said arrogantly, "Get out of here quickly, you didn't Qualification stamped on my epee."

The young man slipped away as if he had received an amnesty, and he had already regretted coming to France beyond his means, which was simply humiliating himself.

Who can beat France's number one warrior as an opponent?

Martial arts contests to recruit relatives are simply a joke, that Her Royal Highness Princess of France doesn't want to marry at all, right?

Blaise was the only one left in the arena. He looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

At the beginning of the competition to recruit relatives, there were still many challengers.

As a result, because Blaise was too strong and repelled too many people, gradually not many people were willing to challenge him.

A soldier walks into the arena, gets down on one knee and says

"Master Blaise, Her Royal Highness has something to summon you."

◇

A royal palace, a gorgeous bedroom somewhere.

A young and beautiful girl was lying on her side on the bed, and the maids carefully trimmed her nails.

She has long wine-red hair, and her face is like a sculpture made of white jade. She is white, smooth, and exquisitely carved, and she is blooming with a dazzling brilliance.

This is the incompetent princess cast aside by the entire French people, the famous Her Royal Highness Margaret.

As the only flesh and blood of the old king, not only did he not make any efforts to govern, but he turned a blind eye to the people who were in dire straits.

Now that there is a big flood in the south, the refugees are wandering around, and no one has any hope. Margaret is very kind, and she still has time to do her nails here.

This is obviously not the attitude that an heir to an empire should have. On the contrary, she looks like a pampered young lady who doesn't care about world affairs at all.

No wonder Princess Margaret, the dignified heir to the empire, is portrayed by the people as a playful, indifferent and irresponsible princess.

This caused many people to worry about the future of France, thinking that if Princess Margaret became queen, the empire would fall into never-ending chaos.

How could an heir to an empire who treated his marriage as a joke and engaged in farce like martial arts contests to take on the task of revitalizing France?

Not only the people of the empire, but even the nobles and ministers of the royal palace are very disgusted with Princess Margaret, thinking that she is just a vase.

In fact, although Margaret was incompetent, her beauty was spread throughout the human empires, and the name of the vase was not too much. So many people came to challenge the martial arts competition, and almost all of them came here for their fame.

Blaise walked in directly from the outside, knelt down on one knee, "Your Highness, I'm here."

"Huh?" Margaret raised her head slightly and waved her hands, "You all go down."

The maids got up and bowed one after another, and slowly backed out.

Seeing that the door of the room was closed, Blaise asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, what do you want from me?"

"Did the flies that came today drive away?" Margaret was alluding to those ignorant suitors. In her eyes, the group of men who came to court were just flies.

"Yes, the strength of the young people who came this time is very weak. The level of those who came to participate in the competition to recruit relatives is not as good as before. At the beginning, there were still a few good saint-level powerhouses, but your highness, you can't even look down on them. ..." Blaise said in a helpless tone.

"Even if you can't win, how can I like it? Even if you want to win over, you must win over a real strong man, preferably the one who is invincible and invincible, otherwise, wouldn't I suffer too much?" Margaret said calmly.

Blaise looked gloomy. He understood what Princess Margaret wanted to do and needed powerful foreign aid to help her destroy Prime Minister Midas' strength.

In fact, many people have misunderstood this princess. Don't look at her as crazy and never serious, but in fact Margaret is a very ambitious girl.

Of course Margaret knew that as the heir to the empire, she had to work hard, but the current situation did not allow her to do so.

After all, Meadows has all eyes and hands in the capital, and Margaret is in a very disadvantaged situation. It is not suitable for showing her talents. The more stupid she is, the safer she is.

The old king, who is seriously ill and bedridden by Meadows, is now under house arrest, and often issues orders in the name of the king, just like the regent.

In addition, with great power in his hands, and more elite soldiers and generals obeying him, Midas has long been the actual controller of the empire, and most of the nobles are fawning on him.

Margaret?Just a stupid princess, without royal blood, she is nothing.

Besides, now only Meadows can see the old king, and even Margaret has no right to see her father. She has been completely marginalized.
