No.20 Nine Demon Kings

On the outskirts of the imperial capital, in a certain manor, the singing of warblers lingers in the air, and green shadows are piled up.

The picturesque scenery was rushed through by a young man who seemed to have a very rebellious temperament.

The young man seemed to have something important to do, he walked faster and faster, and then stopped suddenly.

Not far ahead is the door to a room.

The young man straightened the neckline and the corners of his robe unhurriedly, and with the expression of a rebellious teenager, he walked forward slowly and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A gentle voice sounded.

The young man opened the door, saw the people inside, closed the door gently behind his back, and knelt down: "My humble minister, Anthony Garfield, has seen His Majesty the King."

"Excuse me." The king looked down at him, his eyes were full of kindness (?).

Anthony stood up immediately after hearing his words: "I don't know why His Majesty came here on purpose?"

The king smiled: "Why do I come, don't you know?"

Anthony: "???" Isn't the prince and the "wanted warrant" that have become popular recently?Which of the two concerns him?

The king picked up the tea on the table and took a sip: "How is F-157 doing?"

Anthony scratched his head: "Huh? Pretty good, right? Recently, the attitude of the North Elves towards human merchants is pretty good—compared to three years ago."

Anthony, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in charge of Economy and Trade.

The king still smiled: "I'm not asking how is Group F, but how is F-157."

F-157?Anthony thought about it carefully for a while, and suddenly realized: "Oh! You are talking about the maid you transferred to me three years ago. She is very powerful. At least one-third of the credit for improving the attitude of the northern elves should be given to her..."

The king smiled and took out a piece of water-like cloth.

Anthony's expression suddenly collapsed.

"Lillis' return banquet will start soon, and I don't have much time to spare," the king said with a smile. "Now, please give me an explanation."

"Your Majesty—" Anthony rushed over and hugged the king's thigh, "When I buried this thing, there was no one around!"

King: "Oh?"

Anthony: "It's not that you don't know the place of the extremely frozen ice field! It's flat land for thousands of miles, and the ground is full of snow that blinds people during the day and freezes people to death at night. If there are people around, I can definitely see it..."

The king smiled: "You can see it on the ground, but what about the ground?"

Anthony's expression remained unchanged: "Are you serious? That kind of millennium permafrost, even the thief Jack can't control it?"

The king continued to smile: "Oh, you finally talked about him."

Anthony: "Your Majesty, I never revealed a word to him on this matter..."

King: "So, it reveals a lot in other respects?"

Anthony looked at the king slightly aggrieved.

The king sighed, and he looked at Anthony as if he was looking at a younger generation who had been rebellious for many years.

King: "I know you worship the devil, but please don't forget that you were born here and grew up here."

Anthony didn't speak, just let go of his hand, took two steps back, and knelt down on the ground upright.

King: "Why are you so stubborn?"

Anthony smiled bitterly: "It's really hard for me to trust a cruel monarch like you."

The king smiled: "Cruel? Someone said I was soft-hearted a few days ago."

He didn't deny it directly.

Anthony lowered his eyelashes, and then expressed hehe to the king's words: "Rowan said that, right? Don't you know how much of what he said was true and how much was false?"

King: "Anthony."

This sentence is very light, but also very heavy.

Anthony pursed his lips and lowered his head, looking unrepentant.

The king sighed again, got up and left.

Anthony was left alone, kneeling upright in the room.

He should be glad that if the king had just spoken to him a few more words, he might have succumbed.

But at this moment, he didn't hold on to his ideal happy mood at all, instead he felt a kind of... faint displeasure.

It's like the cold cat that I have raised for half a year suddenly shows its kindness to the king who is visiting in every possible way, it's like my friend who plays very well suddenly becomes a life-and-death friend with the king, like I agreed to take him out to play as long as I have a holiday Because of a meeting with the king, his father vowed to guard the border of the sea forever until his death.

Like, even after going through the above, he couldn't blame the king. [Note]

After staying for a while, he stood up and sat in the position where the king had just sat, and the magic wave connected to the Magic Network.

The information bar is bouncing.

Anthony entered the information bar.

A certain notorious robber Jack/08:36:25

How about it?Have you been suspected?bring it on!Welcome to the Demon King camp!

Anthony narrowed his eyes.

Details determine success or failure/09:25:21

No, I still think it's better to be an undercover agent.

A certain notorious robber Jack/09:26:41

...Oh, I see, the king has been looking for you.

How many times have I said that the king lied to you, lied to you, lied to you!Why do you still believe him!All he thinks about is his own interests!Without you at all (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Details determine success or failure/09:27:10

You're making me look like the woman next to a scumbag... [Sweating.jpg

I didn't believe him... I just thought that even if a new Demon King came, he wouldn't be as good as the Demon King Lilis, right?

A certain notorious robber Jack/09:28:11

I see, you've been brainwashed again [sigh.jpg]

Details determine success or failure/09:30:01

Hmm... How about this, when His Royal Highness the Demon King breaks into the imperial capital, I will be the first to surrender.

A certain notorious robber Jack/09:30:28

Is not this nonsensical?His Royal Highness the Demon King has already entered the imperial capital, what do you want to do if you don't surrender?

Details determine success or failure/09:31:49

I don't know... Well, let's do this first.

Anthony disconnected the magical connection with the magic network, looked at the teacup that was just used by the king, and was slightly dazed.

Near the King's Castle.

Dolce, who has not seen the sun for three days, stares at the sky endlessly.

Jack glanced at him, and said lightly: "You will spoil your eyes like this."

Dorsey smiled: "Aren't I happy...Hey, why don't you seem very happy?"

Jack's poker face: "I tried to hook up with a handsome guy, but failed."

Dorsey scratched his head: "...Oh, that's probably a pity."

Jack glanced at him: "What are you thinking? I'm talking about hooking him into the devil's camp."

Dorsey raised his eyebrows: "Oh! That's right."

This is not the right reaction.

Jack stopped and squinted at him: "Don't you be a yellow dog?"

The dangerous alarm was sounded, and Dolce immediately stated: "Of course not... But, I really can't hate the king."

Jack: "Don't worry, people from the Demon King's camp won't hate the King either."

Dorsey: "Then you are still anti-royal..."

Jack rolled his eyes: "It's one thing to like the king, but it's another thing to work for the well-being of the people."

Dorsey: "...how is this balanced?"

Jack: "Because many of our members joined when the last Hunjun was in office."

"Oh..." Dolce scratched his head and said, "Actually, I also support the devil, but because I like the king, so..."

Jack: "It's okay, you can join, we have a forum called the Devil's Palace, you can go in and have a look - by the way, there is another forum called 'Long Live the Devil', which is our enemy, dedicated to Those who use the name of the devil to do nasty things, remember to hate them to death when you see them."

Dorsey: "..." Is it really okay to be so straightforward when you just invited me to join?

"Beep—"

Yuanqiu was bored right now, so he opened the information bar.

Marshal B Dorsey/09:50:48

Found two forums, "The Devil's Palace" and "Long Live the Devil". According to the robber Jack, the former is a friendly army, and the latter is a professional black.

The blue light of the ball flickered.

I don’t know what name to choose/09:51:42

Well done, it's been a lot of limelight these days, so be careful and hide.

After typing, Yuanqiu looked up and found that Lilis was looking at it coldly, and immediately reported the information from Dolce to him.

Lilis didn't say anything, just asked it: "What time is it?"

Ball: "52:3. By the way, the king is coming this way and is expected to arrive in [-] minutes."

Lilis got up reluctantly.

The king knocked on the door of Lilis's room and entered after getting permission. It was rare to see Lilis neatly dressed.

Seeing him, Lilis rushed forward and hugged his thigh.

The king who has been hugged repeatedly recently: "..."

Looking down at Lilis' furry head, a light flashed in the king's mind.

Let's break down this light briefly:

Lilis is well dressed today + when he usually comes to see Lilis, he is under the covers = Lilis knows something happened today.

Lilis knows something happened + only he and Rowan have seen Lilis these days + when Rowan came to see Lilis, he didn't know that the comeback banquet will be held today = Lilis has other sources of information.

Lilis has other sources of information + Lilis once went to the Internet of Magic to send him a letter = Lilis is on the Internet of Magic and knows that there will be a comeback feast for him today.

Speaking of which, why is Lilis' magic power so stable that it can be connected to the Magic Network...

The king, whose mind was jumping, didn't realize his state——because he didn't see Lilis's half-asleep and half-awake state, which caused the violent state.

Lilis raised his head and felt a little puzzled when he saw the irritable king.

He doesn't like me hugging him as soon as I come up?

Lilis blinked and let go of his hand.

The king who is full of inner drama when he is irritable: "..."

Lilis: Ah, why does it feel like Ryan is getting more irritable?my delusion?

The author has something to say:

[Note] In case you misunderstand, I hereby indicate it.

Anthony's "unhappy" at this time is a subtle feeling as if he has lost something. Please refer to the above four examples for details.

Anthony didn't like the king.

No yo no yo.

I'm not the author who likes to open cp randomly~(￣▽￣～)~
