Chapter 501: The two families that became one

Early spring of Aos Year 1054.

When the roar of the train shook the broken snow off the windmills in the suburbs of Lei Ming City, the long-awaited sunshine finally melted the last trace of snow in Roland City.

For the Lain people, many things happened in the winter month that had just passed.

Whether it was in front of their own doors or in their neighbors' homes.

Just when people intended to forget that unpleasant memory and start a new life, their respected King Xioden Devalu finally remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to do one thing.

As the Majesty of the Lain Kingdom, he should say something about that "unfortunate" fire, so that no one would gossip behind his back in the future.

The next day, in the square in front of the castle balcony, the royal guards with shiny armor stood in grand attire, crowded with well-dressed Roland City citizens in the middle.

Among them were relatives of the royal guards, tax collectors with eyes and ears everywhere, and guild leaders who controlled the city's economic lifeline.

Besides them, there were business association presidents who managed businesses for nobles, as well as renowned clergy and doctors.

In the very corner of the square, near the gatehouse of the guards, stood a few children in tattered clothes and a court painter painting for them.

They were the lucky ones who survived the fire, looking around blankly at this moment, clearly not understanding why all the big shots of Roland City were gathered here, and no one told them.

The atmosphere at the scene was as lively as a festival.

If it weren't for the fact that the people who arrived were all wearing black clothes, people would almost have forgotten that this was a memorial service and turned to look for champagne to celebrate a wedding.

At noon, King Xioden appeared on the balcony wearing a simple dark robe, his face full of grief.

He walked slowly to the edge of the balcony, placed his hands on the stone railing, faced the citizens waiting expectantly in the square below, and opened his mouth with a heavy and hoarse voice.

"Citizens of Roland City, my subjects, you have suffered."

"Just a month ago in the winter month, a ruthless fire swallowed our homes and took away our compatriots. That was truly a terrible disaster; tens of thousands died in the fire, I heard... it wasn't until yesterday that we buried all the corpses we could find."

Xioden's voice seemed to choke, and he raised his hand to press his chest. A guard hurriedly stepped forward to support the King, but was pushed away by that aged palm.

"However, we were not defeated!"

His voice gradually became impassioned, his hands holding the railing clenched into fists, and a hint of excited redness squeezed out on his aged face.

As if—

It was real.

"It is your tenacity, your loyalty to the Kingdom, that made us get through this difficult winter month together! Got through the difficulties together!"

"Today, please let us pray here together for those compatriots who unfortunately passed away in the fire!"

The square was silent, entering a painful mourning with the aged King.

Silence lasted for about half a minute, and Xioden softened his impassioned tone, just like an epic turning from an impassioned climax to a soothing interlude.

"What I must say is that in this disaster, we were not isolated! Our Royal Guard are the bravest young men; when that sky-high firelight covered the moon, they rushed into the burning slums regardless of their own safety, even though those poor people had never contributed a cent of tax to them... They are true heroes!"

People applauded.

Xioden nodded, signaling everyone to be calm.

He hadn't finished speaking yet; they could applaud after he finished.

"In addition, I would especially like to commend," Xioden's gaze cast toward a certain place in the crowd, "our Minister of Economy, Baron Wickton!"

Baron Wickton stepped out from the crowd in the front row, bowing humbly.

"Your Majesty, being able to serve you... is my honor."

"It is Baron Wickton," the King looked at him approvingly, not sparing the praise in his voice, "who worked tirelessly in the first instance after the disaster, properly resettled those suffering survivors, and made outstanding contributions to saving all citizens who suffered losses!"

"This is what I should do." Baron Wickton bowed again, but his voice trembled, seemingly praying to the gods in his heart.

Waiting for Baron Wickton to receive his medal from the servant and retreat, Xioden took a deep breath and announced in a devout tone.

"In order to mourn the Lain people who died in this fire, and also to pray to Saint Saint Xisi for future peace, I will eat vegetarian food for a week as King, to show my piety and grief. Don't try to persuade me... this is the duty of my Royal Family."

There was deathly silence in the square, followed by a burst of suppressed sobbing, and some people were clapping while wiping tears, looking like they were slapping themselves.

The respected Majesty was actually willing to "eat vegetarian" for a week to pray for the dead civilians!

This is... what kind of mercy!

It must be praised that this is indeed the first time; the Devalu family had never been so considerate of civilians... although there weren't so many civilians before.

The area of Roland City was three times that of Lei Ming City, and the population was three times that of the latter, reaching a terrifying three million people.

This was still the population with statistics!

And this was also why Xioden had never taken Edward's ambition seriously, even though he regarded Edward as an opponent.

After the King's speech ended, Bishop Claude, with a thin figure, stepped forward.

He wore a simple black robe, as if he felt the same grief as the King, and praised with that dry, withered voice like a crow's call.

"His Majesty's mercy and piety are like holy light; my Lord will surely protect such devout subjects and listen to the repentance and prayers of all living beings."

Then, Bishop Claude cast his gaze toward the edge of the square, raising his withered hands high.

"Now, please mourn with me. For the deceased, and also pray for our merciful Majesty... may he live long!"

In the square, whether it was the nobles in the castle or the civilian representatives on the periphery, they were deeply moved by this touching scene.

Countless people burst into tears on the spot, moved by the King's "mercy" and "sacrifice."

Including those children who were at a loss, they also lowered their heads under the reminder of the guards.

In the low prayer sound of the whole field, King Xioden swept his eyes across the field casually, looking to see who was peeking at him.

Seeing no one raise their heads, he turned around silently and nodded to the Bishop beside him.

'Leave it to you.'

The Bishop who lowered his head hurriedly returned him a loyal look and a fawning smile.

'I'll handle it, don't worry!'

Xioden didn't look at him.

Although the Bishop was the existence used by the Saint Saint Xisi Church to check and balance the secular King long ago, in the Lain Kingdom far from the Shengcheng, not everything could go as the Pope wished.

Since he had a way to send a Baron to the position of Viceroy, he could of course let a clown sit in the high position of Bishop.

No one noticed that the moment the aged King turned his back to the square and walked into the castle, a pleasant cold smile hooked on the corner of his mouth.

Those faces that were flustered and pretending to be decent were truly endless to watch.

He suddenly looked forward to tonight's dinner, whether it was meat or vegetarian served from the back kitchen.

Luo Yan finally moved out of the "Dawn's Embrace" hotel.

It wasn't because the hotel's service was slack in any way, but because having two little oil bottles by his side made living in a place with many people and mixed ears too inconvenient.

Especially since the commotion last time, the entire Lei Ming City knew that the other two members of the Prince Kelin family had also come to Lei Ming City and were full of interest in the two little guys.

Out of consideration for the personal safety of the citizens of Lei Ming City, the Demon King ultimately decided to move Vivian and Nan Fu to the suburbs.

Under Luo Yan's instruction, Punk quickly found a manor in the suburbs of Lei Ming City that met the status of an Imperial Prince for him.

It was far from the bustling city, with pleasant scenery, and importantly, it had high walls and hedges, making it a good place to hide from the public.

Just don't know why, after learning that he was moving from the city center to the manor in the suburbs, Vivian had been abnormal for several days in a row.

At first, Luo Yan thought the feng shui of the nearby church was bad, pondering whether to let the priest there move away, but later found that this little guy was purely mentally ill again.

As for how the Demon King discovered it...

That was destined to be another little story that wouldn't be recorded in official history.

In short, after some careful repairs, Vivian's brain was finally a bit more normal.

At this moment, Luo Yan was sitting under a parasol on the lawn in the afternoon, holding a cup of black tea, secretly looking forward to the opening ceremony of the Hell Higher Academy to arrive early in his heart.

"... Your manor is truly of exquisite taste, Prince Prince Kelin; if I had known there was such a good place in the suburbs of Lei Ming City, I would have bought a manor here too and been your neighbor."

"Haha, Your Highness Edward is too kind," Luo Yan showed a gentle smile, "This manor was also purchased by my servant for me. If it weren't for those two little guys, I would still prefer to live on Queen Street in Lei Ming City; the fireworks atmosphere there makes me like it more... The Jiana Continent lacks nothing, but there are too few people."

Edward Campbell sat opposite him and let out a heartfelt exclamation.

The shadow of civil war seemed to have dissipated from his face, and the silver hair dyed white also looked much softer in the sunshine.

Ever since the busiest days passed, this Majesty of the Principality had become a regular visitor to this manor.

Sometimes he didn't just come over by himself, but also brought his family together.

For example, this time he brought his three young children here.

Nine-year-old Lino Campbell, wearing a light blue western dress, her golden hair tied into a ponytail, like a cheerful little pony. She inherited the vitality of the Campbell family, and at this moment was making silver bell-like laughter, chasing the fleeing Nan Fu.

Eight-year-old Richard Campbell was another extreme. His little face was tight, holding a wooden stick, his expression as serious as a little old man.

Human society follows the religious law formulated by the Saint Saint Xisi Church; there is no such thing as succession by the eldest daughter, so this Richard should be the future Grand Duke.

He looked quite like his father.

The youngest, Alfred Campbell, was only three years old, still in the subtle stage of "afraid of nothing but easiest to cry," clutching his brother's hem and trembling.

As for why he was afraid, it was of course because standing in front of them was a real demon—Lady Vivian.

Luo Yan was no stranger to these children.

Including their mother, Lady Antonie, Luo Yan had also met her a few times.

She was a beautiful and virtuous woman who managed the internal affairs of Campbell Castle in an orderly manner and assisted her husband, Grand Duke Edward, very well.

What impressed Luo Yan most was that little Alfred.

When he first arrived in Lei Ming City as Prince Kelin, the little guy was just a month old, and Edward even held a celebration for him.

It's really watching him grow up.

Including Princess Ailin...

Luo Yan's thoughts were interrupted by a burst of crisp laughter.

Just saw Lino chasing Nan Fu; the little girl's laughter was as crisp as silver bells, and Nan Fu was clearly a bit overwhelmed.

Because Luo Yan forbade him from using transcendent power, he didn't dare use any transcendent power at all, relying entirely on his tough flesh and willpower to endure the scorching sun at noon.

That sunshine wasn't enough to be fatal, but it also made him almost half-dead without any defense.

And on the other side of the lawn, Vivian, who was firing on all cylinders, was much more majestic.

"Wow—!"

Accompanied by a earth-shattering howl, three-year-old little Alfred sat on the ground, tears bursting out.

"Kukukuku..."

Vivian, with her arms crossed, had a ferocious smile, unreserved but evil from the inside out, loyally playing the role of the "Demon King."

"Stupid hero! Do you think you can challenge me? Well, I'll admit your courage. My door just happens to lack a doormat; I'll use your skin to decorate my secret garden!"

With her combat power as a Platinum-tier genius girl, even without using transcendent power, she could easily rub a nine-year-old child and a three-year-old child on the ground—

Uh, this doesn't seem like anything to be proud of?

"Don't, don't hurt my brother!"

Richard's face flushed red, and despite being suppressed, his small body was struggling to resist.

Just saw him waving the wooden stick in his hand indignantly, dispelling the fear in his heart, and shouting loudly, "You... you bad guy! My knights... won't let you go!"

"Woo woo woo... brother, this guy is so scary... let's retreat." Alfred sat on the ground, crying and twitching, but he learned a few more words than last time.

Sure enough, adventure is the best teacher.

Vivian was having a great time, clearly not intending to let these two toys go so easily.

"Kukukuku! Good ambition, little ghost! Pity I forgot to tell you, I, am a vampire! And a vampire royal! Wow—! Watch me eat you!"

She opened her mouth wide, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth, and made a frightening action.

The faces of the two children turned "swish" white, and their bodies trembled even more violently.

Luo Yan couldn't help but fall into thought.

Perhaps he misjudged; he should have recommended Vivian to study at the Demon King Academy back then.

Clearly, whether from aura or talent, she looked more like a qualified Demon King than himself.

However, thinking that most graduates of the Demon King Academy didn't go to be Demon Kings, he instantly felt relieved.

The meaning of school for this group of second-generation demons is just a nursery; let's look at Prince Caesar's arrangement.

Not far away, Nan Fu, who was carrying the little ancestor, happened to hear his elder sister's earth-shattering self-exposure.

Thinking of the "close at hand" Inquisition, his knees softened, and he fell with a "plop."

The clever and smart Princess Lino saw this and immediately cheered in victory, turning over and riding on Nan Fu's neck.

"I won! Gutav! From now on, I am your knight!"

"Yes yes yes... whatever you say." Unable to stand this little ancestor, Nan Fu groaned weakly.

Very satisfied with his reaction, Princess Lino nodded appreciatively.

"Then! From now on! Gutav, you are my horse! Giddyup!"

Nan Fu: "???"

Ta Fu, who was lying by the window on the second floor, gritted her teeth, her mouth pressed against the glass, cursing.

The family of the Prince Kelin family and the family of the Campbell family became one, with victories and defeats.

Nan Fu is a gentlemanly guy, clearly letting Lino. This guy, no matter how unlearned and unskilled, would definitely not lose to a human who hasn't awakened transcendent power.

As for Vivian...

Clearly floating again.

Wait until I clean up this guy later.

Luo Yan silently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it back on the tray not heavily or lightly. 'Clang—'

Vivian, not far away, seemed to sense the threat, and her shoulders trembled unconsciously.

Poor Richard was almost knocked flying, and this time it really had to be blamed on the Demon King Majesty.

"Haha, what an energetic girl, I saw Princess Ailin's shadow in her."

Looking at this vibrant chaotic scene, Edward let out a pleasant laugh.

Luo Yan smiled helplessly.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Edward grinned, not caring at all about his son who was knocked flying.

People of the Campbell family are natural knights; even without awakening transcendent power, the toughness of their flesh is different from ordinary people, and this little injury at most makes Richard break a little skin.

It wasn't the first time Edward brought his children here to disturb, but rather he was quite grateful that Vivian was willing to enter the customs and play the Demon King to accompany his children to play.

Without those nobles who could sit on equal footing with him, now only those sycophants remained around the "little Edwards."

They needed an opponent they couldn't beat to prevent the pride in their hearts from turning into arrogance.

However, at this moment, Edward's gaze was not on his two sons, but focused on Lino and "Gutav."

Whether by noble or civilian standards, the age gap between the two was not large.

By the time Lino came of age, Gutav would just be in his prime; getting engaged now was the most appropriate.

As for Vivian...

It is a beautiful story for the eldest son to reconcile with the illegitimate son, but family marriage has nothing to do with the illegitimate son.

Unrecognized bloodline is equal to no bloodline; at least in the feudal system of the Aos Empire, unrecognized offspring are civilians unless they obtain the title "bestowed" by their father.

Moreover, even without considering this point, Edward didn't like this girl who "clearly hadn't received a good noble education."

"Gutav is really a good child," Edward smiled, pointing at Luo Yan, "He has a gentle personality, and he is about the same age as my Lino. Look, how happy they are playing."

Luo Yan smiled without answering, thinking it was indeed so.

The ambitious Grand Duke seemed to be no longer satisfied with the relationship between Her Highness Princess Ailin and himself, or perhaps it was his own detached attitude that made this Majesty a bit unsure.

Edward's gaze moved away from the two children, looked at Prince Prince Kelin, and said sincerely.

"Prince Kelin, my friend. The friendship between the Campbell Principality and the Prince Kelin Principality is the most precious wealth of both our sides, and also the most precious wealth of the people of both countries. We all know that solid friendship always needs tight ties to maintain, and I want the ties between us to be longer than ever."

This hint was not a hint anymore; it was almost an explicit statement.

The Campbell family hopes to establish a closer relationship with the Prince Kelin family!

However, it is a pity.

Nan Fu's identity is too special; Luo Yan really couldn't make the decision for him.

"Your Highness the Grand Duke is too kind. Miss Lino is as cute as an elf, but unfortunately," Luo Yan's tone carried just the right amount of regret, "Gutav... his family has already set an engagement for him, I'm afraid I have to disappoint Miss Lino's favor."

"Is that so... then it's a pity, please forget my rash proposal just now."

A trace of imperceptible regret flashed across Edward Campbell's face.

However, he was a sovereign of a country after all, and this trace of regret only stayed for a moment.

He picked up the black tea, as if the proposal just now was just a casual joke, and then naturally switched the topic.

Luo Yan also cooperated with him very well.

After all, talking about the increasingly chaotic genealogy of the Prince Kelin family would only make his brain run at high load. In comparison, he preferred to chat about some lighter topics.

The topic between the two quickly shifted from the scenery of the Jiana Continent to the reforms in Lei Ming City.

Clearly, Edward did it intentionally.

When talking about this matter, his expression clearly became focused and sharp.

"Prince Prince Kelin, as you can see, the reform of Lei Ming City has entered the deep water zone. In this regard, your Principality is a pioneer, and there are many things I still need to listen to the suggestions of a knowledgeable friend like you."

Luo Yan smiled and took a sip of tea.

"I dare not take it; the colonial construction of the Prince Kelin Principality is actually still very primitive; I just happened to stand on the shoulders of a dragon."

"You are too modest," Edward shook his head, "Your insights into currency have opened the eyes of Mr. Andis; I believe you must have deeper insights."

Luo Yan didn't commit to his statement and said softly.

"Let's talk about specific problems; if I know, I will definitely know everything."

"It's about money!"

Looking at Prince Kelin who put down the teacup, Edward said frankly, "The work of the Post-War Compensation Committee has been very effective. After liquidating all the assets of the rebel nobles and fully compensating for the losses of all victims of the civil war, there is still a huge sum left in our account."

This fund mainly came from the auction of timber yards and mines held by rebel nobles.

Unlike farmland, these things couldn't be taken to compensate ordinary civilians; after all, they simply didn't have the ability to develop them. Only those mining companies that met the qualifications had the conditions to utilize the rich natural resources of the Campbell Principality.

"... Sometimes having too much money is also a happy trouble, especially when too many people are staring at this money, even if it is my aide, I can't easily believe their opinions." Edward's fingers tapped the table lightly, "I want to hear your opinion; what do you think I should do with this money?"

Luo Yan pondered for a moment, his gaze cast toward the lawn.

Nan Fu was still rolling on the ground chased by Lino, and Vivian had begun to teach the two little "heroes" how to hold a sword more majestically—

Clearly, she didn't know swordplay, just pretending to be "hey hey ha ha," but the two future heroes thought they had received the "Demon King's" true teachings, clearly already led into the ditch by her.

"... If you really don't know where to spend the money," Luo Yan thought for a while, withdrew his gaze from Vivian, and said with a smile, "Why not invest in education."

He paused, then continued.

"Wealth will eventually be exhausted, but knowledge can be passed down. Your people cannot always stay on the assembly line; they can also become great scholars, engineers... or more useful people. Even if this generation of them is too late, they can also pin their hopes on their children. And this hope, only you can give them."

"Education..." Edward chewed on this word, then showed an understanding smile, "Prince Kelin, we thought of the same thing again."

He also put down the teacup in his hand, looking at Prince Kelin with burning eyes, and continued.

"To tell you the truth, I have the intention to push the reform into the field of education. Most of the schools in Lei Ming City are held in the hands of the church; our best talents have all run to study theology, and I have always felt that this is a waste."

Objectively speaking, church schools improved the literacy rate of the Principality and filled the shortcomings of feudal lords.

However, the Principality no longer needs priests to do this, and they, with extremely rich productivity, can completely promote more professional education by the power of the state.

It's not just the immediate interests; Edward also saw further things.

A group of theologians studying scriptures not only has no benefit to the development of the Principality, but will also continuously produce more conservatives.

A scholar who spends decades of his life in the field of theology has tied his life completely to the will of the gods.

In the eyes of such a person, whoever wants to move the bricks on that church is equivalent to wanting his dog life.

His opponents have never been just the traditional nobles led by Count Delike, but also those priests in the church.

It's just that he didn't offend those clergy much, and the priests only had some complaints, and didn't jump out to oppose him clearly.

It might not be so in the future.

Luo Yan listened quietly.

He wasn't surprised that Edward could see this; it could be said that everything was in his expectation.

"... So, I intend to change this completely!" Edward's eyes burned with the flames of ambition, presenting the blueprint in his heart to his most trusted ally, "I intend to imitate the 'Academy State' and establish a completely secular 'Lei Ming City University' in Lei Ming City, focusing on cultivating talents truly useful to the Principality—especially talents proficient in magic and alchemy."

"At the same time," he added, "I also intend to imitate the Empire and establish a Royal Academy of Engineering, specifically to study mechanical engineering and steam... The technology of the Gutav United Kingdom has shocked me, and also made me feel vigilant; we cannot always rely on the mercy of aliens, I believe you must think so too!"

This is indeed a magnificent blueprint.

Honestly, the performance of this Grand Duke was a bit beyond Luo Yan's expectations, so much so that he couldn't help but let out a heartfelt exclamation.

"Your idea makes me admire you; I have no doubt... the Campbells of the future will thank you for your decision today!"

"Hahaha, you are too kind." Edward waved his hand modestly, then leaned forward slightly, finally revealing the true purpose of his trip. "Prince Prince Kelin, to realize this blueprint, I need an experienced guide."

Without waiting for Prince Kelin to speak, he stared at this Prince from the Empire, continuing in a sincere tone.

"You... have experience as a professor in the Academy State; can you please provide some advice for the preparation of Lei Ming City University? If you don't mind, we would like to invite you to be the first president! Or honorary president is fine!"

He didn't expect Prince Prince Kelin to be this president, just thinking that he was knowledgeable and could offer some suggestions from the perspective of someone who had been there.

The smile on Luo Yan's face stiffened for the first time, and a trace of imperceptible astonishment gradually rose in his calm pupils.

"... How did you know I was a professor?"

If he remembered correctly, he only mentioned to a few Campbells that he had "advanced studies" in the Academy State.

This is very common among nobles, especially among the nobles of the Empire, but "advanced studies" and "teaching" are clearly two completely different concepts.

Did the performance fail?

Looking at Prince Prince Kelin's surprised expression, Edward showed an apologetic smile, then summoned his servant and took out an envelope with a magic seal.

"This letter was mailed to my palace early this morning. My butler didn't recognize the sender, but saw your name on the envelope, thinking it was a friend of yours in the Shengcheng who couldn't figure out your specific address here... so he took the liberty of receiving it for you."

Edward placed the letter on the table and pushed it over gently.

"Of course, I didn't read the contents of the letter, just..." he pointed to the front of the envelope, the recipient's position.

Only saw it clearly written there—

【To Professor Prince Kelin】

Luo Yan's gaze solidified on that line of graceful handwriting, and for a time, he couldn't help but fall into silence.

The wax seal of the Castellion family.

Clearly, it was sent by Ophelia.

"One of the reasons I visited you this time is to hand this letter to you personally."

Looking at the silent Prince Kelin, Edward's tone was sincere.

"Of course, if this is all just my misunderstanding, please forgive my rashness, please pretend I didn't mention this matter... We just need a gentleman like you who has both knowledge and foresight too much."

Edward vaguely felt that Prince Prince Kelin didn't want to reveal his experience in the Academy State.

Although this was confusing, he didn't intend to ask more.

After all, the Academy State was far outside the vision of the Campbell Principality, and intervening in affairs unrelated to himself would only bring twists and turns to his original plan.

Perhaps...

That memory of teaching wasn't pleasant.

Therefore, he also gave the Prince a step down in the end.

Luo Yan pondered for a long time while pressing his eyebrows, and finally sighed, giving a vague answer.

"... Your Highness Edward, your invitation is truly beyond my expectation; please allow me to consider it for a few days before giving you an answer."

"Understood!"

Seeing that Prince Prince Kelin didn't refuse immediately, Edward was overjoyed, knowing there was a play.

So he stopped talking about this, and instead chatted about the scenery of the Spinor Earl territory.

At this point, Luo Yan understood that this enterprising Grand Duke really came to find him for the university.

Not far away, Nan Fu, who was carrying the little ancestor, had climbed to the side of the fountain, looking exhausted. But it wasn't that Lino was too noisy, mainly because he was sunburned.

And on the other side, the two heroes were following Vivian with burning eyes, clearly having become her little brothers—

"Demon King Majesty!"

"Majesty, where are we going to rob today?"

"Kukukuku, there is a church about five hundred meters from the manor; you go and tear it down for this master."

Even if the Grand Duke could still laugh out loud, Prince Prince Kelin sitting beside him couldn't be calm anymore.

If he didn't manage it, the evil wind of hell would blow to his door.

"Vivian."

Luo Yan's voice was very light, like a breeze passing through the hedge, but it made Vivian kneel on the ground with a "thud," her knees soft and her legs trembling.

The fear from the depths of her soul was awakened.

However, clearly, this little bully who was used to running wild in the Demon City didn't give in, and stubbornly raised her arm to wipe the non-existent blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Ku—you have two brushes, no, worthy of being the hero chosen by Saint Saint Xisi! Yes, I lost, leave it to you."

After speaking, she also secretly looked at Luo Yan.

'How is my acting?'

Luo Yan: "..."

Seeming to sense the coming storm, Vivian painfully closed her trembling eyelashes.

The Demon King's hegemony... ends here?

Clearly, she was a bit too deep into the play.

This time Edward couldn't laugh; it was clearly teasing children just now, but he always felt that the last two seconds didn't look like acting.

Illusion, right...

"Hahahaha!" Repenting for the illusion in his heart for two seconds, Edward used a bigger laugh to cover up the unnatural hesitation just now, covering up and saying, "Miss Vivian is really an interesting girl, your relationship is really good."

Luo Yan smiled helplessly.

"

"Perhaps."

Unlike old Edward, the two little Edwards' eyes lit up after seeing Vivian's reaction, and they looked worshipfully at Prince Prince Kelin, who was sitting there.

As expected—

This is the true Great Demon King!

Simply too amazing!
