[Comprehensive] Be a good person from now on

... so annoying.

annoying.

Very annoying, this world.

Xia Chao curled up in a corner of the sofa with his legs curled up. The pitch-black robe that was spread out deliberately occupied most of the sofa. The demon king's white and thin fingertips protruded a little from the sleeves, holding a glass of ice coke through the sleeves Biting the straw, he grinds his teeth slowly.

The combination of that gloomy expression and her extremely childish behavior compared to her usual behavior at the moment made people inexplicably reminiscent of her ancestor named "Cat".

——The kind that deceives the world and confuses the world invisibly, with elegant posture, noble temperament and arrogance is very shameless, but makes all human beings who are willing to accept or not accept themselves will eventually kneel down obediently, shovel shit and stare on the ground. A terrifying existence that will be accompanied by the idiotic giggle of "hehehe".

Vlad III sat very calmly at the other end of the sofa, about a palm away from the hem of Xia Chao's clothes.

Here's how he explained it.

"It's going to be pissed if you're sitting next to her or touching her robe."

The oldest vampire earl is worthy of all kinds of delusions and labels that later generations put on him. His mature and handsome face and perfect manners are charming enough.

I have to say that the Grand Duke is really skilled at coaxing people.

Xia Chao bit the straw and just snorted a glass of Coke on his own.

Vlad didn't know when he started to play with the hair that was lying on her back and wrapped it around his hands, and she didn't care.

I don't know why Kariya's eyes hurt a little while watching this scene.

"Since they are husband and wife, why do Miss Xia and the Grand Duke have different reactions? ... Ah, I don't mean to offend, because in the history I know, Vlad III is famous for doting on his wife, but Judging by Miss Xia's reaction, it seems that it is not that simple..."

A sad expression of guilt and remorse appeared on Vlad III's face.

"That's why Madam's problem is Yu's fault."

The iced cola in Xia Chao's hand stopped snoring when he talked about this topic.

She put the cup on the table next to her, and her fair fingers turned red after being frozen by the ice cubes in the coke for a long time. She turned around, and very smoothly grabbed the Grand Duke's sleeve to wipe off the water stains on her fingertips.

There was some distance between the two, and Vlad offered his arm as soon as she turned around.

Xia Chao wiped his fingers with Vlad's sleeve under Matou Kariya's dull gaze.

Kariya Matou: ...

The Demon King was unaware of Matou Kariya's complicated eyes, in fact she and Vlad didn't find any problem at all.

Matou Kariya thought about this capricious nature, and before reminding her, he still sneered and said that he wanted a divorce or shut up, and decisively chose to shut up.

"I was still a human being at the time—the kind that didn't even know how to use black magic; although my bloodline ability was considered top-level, I didn't exercise often, and most of the time it was just a useless ability that was useless except for escaping."

Speaking of the past, Xia Chao's expression was indifferent.

"So although I have lived for a long time and know a lot, but firstly, I don't have the actual combat ability, and secondly, I am a woman, so it really took a lot of effort to become his courtier."

Hearing this, Vlad III couldn't help turning his head and staring at the side face of the other party, but there was no extra emotion on Xia Chao's face.

Peaceful, indifferent, and calm, as if talking about another thing that has nothing to do with me.

After a lot of twists and turns to obtain the rights of the country, it is the political affairs that the Xia Dynasty is good at - quelling the war, appeasing the subjects, and mediating among several big countries to buy a little breathing time for this country that has been suffering from wars all year round. .

Although she encountered a lot of twists and turns and wrong rumors because of her oriental face and her sex as a woman, she was still suppressed by various means in the end.

In this life of assisting Vlad III, what she "shouldn't" do was to choose to go against all opinions and marry him without hesitation.

The young and terrifying female regent was thus forced to fall from the "altar".

I have to say that this choice is a decision she "shouldn't" and also "doesn't regret".

Even now, Xia Chao has not regretted his impulse to agree to the marriage proposal.

"...Although it wasn't very interesting before and after, it still had a rather interesting day."

Xia Chao propped his chin, looked aimlessly out of the window, and commented lightly.

At that time, one of the husband and wife was in charge of politics and the other was in charge of military affairs, and the private life outside of official business was also intimate, until Vlad III was defeated again and was captured and imprisoned by the long-planned enemy——

The queen at that time had already retreated behind the scenes and had to come out to preside over the overall situation again. Unfortunately, the word-of-mouth and contacts she had accumulated through hard work had long since been destroyed by someone who cared after she got married; He became sick from overwork, and his vitality was lost as quickly as the flying snow dyed the earth white.

I don't know when the bad rumors similar to "the queen framed the king because she wanted to seize the country" began to spread in the country.

... She has to hold on.

This is not because of feelings for her husband, but purely because of her personal arrogance engraved in her bones.

——In any case, we must not let this country be destroyed in our own hands.

It has nothing to do with feelings, people, and love, because Xia Chao's ability does not allow her to make such a mistake.

This kind of obsession has supported her to drag a sickly and dilapidated body and forcefully gritted her teeth for more than ten years—until the king came back to take power again.

It wasn't until this time that she dared to breathe a sigh of relief and fell down completely.

"...and then? What do you want and then?"

Xia Chao's narration stopped here, Jian Tong Kariya almost subconsciously asked, facing Jian Tong Kariya's question, Xia Chao frowned slightly.

Vlad III's hands on his knees had unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Then..." She hesitated for a moment, and then finished the ending of the story: "Because in the past ten years or so, I mostly used violent and bloody means to rape me. After Vlad III came back, the country began to quickly Rumors spread that I was a witch who brought disaster to the country, and on the day he went to battle, I was taken out by a group of nobles who stormed into the palace, tied to the stake, and burned to death in the name of 'restraining the country'."

【A snowy world, a castle wrapped in winter, a dark and cold palace.

Because of years of hard work and overwork, she collapsed early and only wore a thin coat with a thin and pale wrist exposed from the satin cuffs. She had been waiting by the window for an unknown amount of time, but she never made a sound. , just looking intently at the flying snow outside the window.

The loyal and worried maids came to persuade her again and again, but she couldn't change the stubborn and silent hostess' mind.

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

Then--

Then, a group of strange people rushed in, their eyes were either angry or proud, or greedy or conflicted, looking at their queen.

She just turned her head and glanced at these people indifferently.

Those eyes were too cold and terrifying, like a cold blade soaked in blood, calmly and calmly scraping the flesh and skin of a person, and finally piercing straight into the heart of the chest.

"... Get out of here."

The queen's cold voice and perennial high-ranking coercion instantly frightened away a few guys who were clearly harboring evil intentions.

"--Do not touch me."

She shook the silver-white fox fur cloak on her body, passed the crowd, and walked down in person.

The queen's long black hair flying in the wind and snow is the most intense color in this silver-white world. She stepped on the marble steps, stepped on the plush carpet, and walked through the gate of the palace without any hesitation. At the stake. 】

——That is the first step to becoming a demon.

Xia Chao has never complained to anyone, she has seen too far and knows too much, she will never be able to look at them with the hatred of her contemporaries, even when she was burned to death Xia Chao looked at the crazy subjects below with cold eyes It's like watching a boring drama performed by a group of nonsense third-rate clowns.

When he was tied to the stake and burned to death, the only thought in his mind was to find a way to find out what the so-called "God" was no matter what.

Vlad III showed a wry smile upon hearing this.

"Because they killed you in the name of 'God'?"

"No."

Xia Chao propped his cheeks, still looking out of the window.

"Because you were religious before."

She replied lightly.
