Chapter 544: Who Said the Demon King Doesn't Act Like a Human?

~32 min read 6,354 words

The wheels rolled over the flat coal-tar asphalt road, emitting a slight and rhythmic rustling sound. This sound was exceptionally pleasant to the ear, completely devoid of the bumps and noise when rolling over gravel roads in the past.

"Demon King-sama..."

"What is it?"

"Nothing, it's just that Hearing You You feels, you are too... witty."

The milky-white fog drifted beside Luo Yan, the muttering voice full of surprise, as if witnessing some incredible miracle.

It wasn't incredible, nor was it a miracle, it was just that Hearing You You had seen too little.

Hearing the small muttering in his ear, Luo Yan smiled faintly, picked up his teacup and took a sip; today was as elegant as ever.

Multiple-choice question?

What a joke.

Adults do multiple-choice questions, while Demon King-sama naturally wants them all!

At this very moment, in the Campbell family's carriage, a carriage rated for two people, there were a full four people sitting, which was actually quite spacious.

The Hero of the Campbell family and the succubus of the Partridge family were squeezed onto one seat, shoulder to shoulder, with an ice wall seemingly between the two smiling people.

Ailin sat upright, her hands crossed on her knees, maintaining the elegant demeanor that the local royal family should have, only the smile at the corner of her mouth looked somewhat stiff no matter how one looked at it.

Mi Ya leaned slightly to the side, her gaze cast toward the scenery flying past the window, the folding fan in her hand tapping her palm one after another, as if the princess beside her was just a transparent mass of air.

The friction between silk and velvet sparked invisible electric light.

From the perspective of transcendent power, the Hero clearly had the upper hand, but on another more cruel battlefield, it was the overwhelming strength of the Partridge family.

At this time, Mi Ya's index finger brushed the hair beside her ear, and three seconds later, Ailin also intentionally or unintentionally brushed the silver hair hanging beside her ear.

Well—

They were even synchronized.

Different from the treacherous situation on the opposite seat, the scenery on Vivienne's side was quite good.

A pair of little legs wrapped in white long stockings dangled in the air, swaying happily, like an untiring pendulum. On that little face was a flush of being smashed dizzy by a pie, and a slightly open little mouth was so excited it wished it could sing a song.

Ku-ku-ku, is this the Demon Capital?

This must be the Demon Capital of the Demon Capital in the legend!

Vivienne never expected that happiness would come so suddenly. Just when she thought she had completely failed, Bayeli's blessing suddenly once again favored her, who had fallen into despair.

She secretly glanced at that well-lined neck and Adam's apple, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her fingers so nervous she didn't know where to put them, and could only tightly twist the lace edge of her skirt.

No fighting, no grabbing, victory was within reach.

Sure enough—

Vivienne was still too powerful!

Vivienne at this very moment was still immersed in her delusions, and didn't know that the powerful one wasn't her, but the Demon King sitting beside her.

Time returned to half an hour ago.

Just as the coin of fate was about to land, a black shadow like a beauty struck like lightning, grabbing that "coin of fate."

"Crack."

A sound of wood breaking accurately reached the ears of everyone present.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the rear axle of the Prince Prince Kelin family's black carriage actually break into two pieces without warning.

The originally grand carriage instantly tilted to one side, like a drunkard whose bones had been pulled out, lying helplessly on the ground.

No one noticed that, just under everyone's blind spot, a petite black shadow was silently retracting a dagger flashing with cold light, then dissipated in the alley like a gust of wind, hiding her merit and fame.

A Platinum-tier assassin might not be able to beat a vampire and a Diamond-tier knight of the same tier, but using some small tricks under the latter's nose was still very easy.

Sarah understood her master very well, not even needing eye signals, and never hesitated when it was time to act.

Watching that carriage that had suddenly "gone on strike," Luo Yan's expression was just right in its surprise, as if he hadn't seen it either.

"Saint Xisi above... this is too coincidental."

He first walked to Miss Yaya, who was stunned, and cast a concerned look at her.

"Are you okay?"

"I, I'm fine..." Mi Ya turned her head blankly, and suddenly said cautiously, "... is it because I'm too heavy? I'm sorry... I'll compensate you for one later."

"..."

Alright.

Although Luo Yan felt he didn't have a heart, his heart was still stabbed by that sincere gaze, his heartbeat seemingly stopping for a second.

"No, the one who should apologize is me... the Prince Prince Kelin family's carriage actually had such an indecent malfunction, perhaps we should have eliminated it long ago."

Putting away the cunning hidden behind his deep purple eyes, he then looked at Ailin, who had walked over with concern, and said.

"Ailin, I'm really sorry, could I trouble you to allow us to squeeze in with you?"

Ailin was slightly stunned, then a soft smile appeared on her face.

"What are you saying? Please don't be so distant, it just so happens we are going the same way, sit in my carriage today!"

Saying this, she looked at the tearful Yaya and Miss Vivienne, who was still hanging up, and said in a sincere tone.

"Miss Yaya, and Vivienne, I'm sorry, I made this rude request, but now we can only overcome the difficulties in front of us together."

Letting guests wait in the crowd was a rude thing, and Ailin decisively fulfilled her duty as a member of the royal family.

Thus, there was this situation now.

The frustrated Vivienne climbed onto the carriage listlessly, until her older brother sat beside her as a matter of course.

As for the other two...

They could only struggle to digest this awkwardness of "being in the same room" on that seat that was originally spacious but now seemed a bit crowded.

The carriage continued to move toward the direction of Prince Prince Kelin Manor, seeing that this small carriage hadn't caught fire for a long time, Hearing You You couldn't help but mutter a bit frustratedly.

"Demon King-sama, you are too inhuman."

Luo Yan smiled faintly, responding calmly.

"Hearing You You, is this your first day knowing me?"

Hearing You You looked at him in surprise.

"Huh?! You haven't been human for a long time?!"

"I mean, I am a flexible person, I can flexibly decide based on the situation."

"... 6"

Regardless of the stunned Hearing You You, Luo Yan certainly couldn't let the two be embarrassed alone, after all, this was a big game of chess he had set up to repair the relationship between the surface and Hell.

Although this excuse was just thought of by him, it didn't matter, anyway, he would let the Death Priest of the Great Graveyard record a note later—

【Demon King, for the sake of Hell and humanity, decided to sacrifice his own happiness.】

Just then, a beautiful shadow flashed past the carriage window, and a huge poster hanging on a building at the street corner attracted Ailin's gaze.

That was a girl wearing a long dress, that sweet smile carrying a fragile beauty, even Ailin, as a lady, couldn't help but give birth to a trace of protective desire.

Although that huge poster was already common for the citizens of Thunder City, except for the bumpkins who had just entered the city, most people wouldn't look up at it.

But coincidentally, Ailin, who was sitting in the carriage, belonged to the "bumpkins" who had just entered the city at this moment, and was from the countryside outside the Torrent Pass.

"Very beautiful, isn't it?"

Hearing Prince Prince Kelin's voice coming from the opposite side, Ailin came back to her senses, but her gaze still looked at the window with some lingering attachment.

"Who is she?"

Luo Yan answered softly.

"Eloise, the heroine of 'Bell Toll'."

Ailin turned her head in surprise.

"She is that Eloise?"

"Of course, and you actually saw her performer at the banquet last night, do you remember that Miss Qiqi? She toasted you very enthusiastically."

Ailin looked at Prince Prince Kelin in disbelief.

She couldn't remember how much champagne she had drunk last night, but she had heard a little about Miss Eloise and "Bell Toll."

Before in Twilight City, Teresa could occasionally bring newspapers from Thunder City, and would often tell her about things in the military camp.

It was said that this play awakened the shared hatred of countless Thunder City citizens and the Campbell Principality for feudal jurisprudence, as well as the longing for a republic.

It was also at that time that she learned the fresh word "republic."

Ailin also heard that this time the Iris Troupe followed the royal family to Gladstone Castle, exactly to conduct a national tour of "Bell Toll."

North Creek Valley Earl Territory was their first stop.

Currently, the tour of the North Creek Valley Earl Territory had ended, and soon the tour of the South Creek Valley Earl Territory would also begin, and the first stop was set in Gold Cross City.

The Iris Troupe would set off again after preparing for the performance to welcome the return of the Northern Rescue Army, and would turn to the Spinor Earl Territory after the railway was opened there.

Luo Yan took the opportunity to open the conversation, chatting from the plot of "Bell Toll" to the sensation it caused among the people, as well as the important mobilization role it played in promoting the legislative work of the Thunder City Council.

Seeing Ailin's gaze gradually turn from awkwardness to focus, he smiled and turned to the side, thereby introducing Miss Yaya sitting beside her.

As early as when Luo Yan mentioned the bell toll, Yaya had already puffed out her chest and was eager to try, and now it was finally her turn to appear.

"... The reason this play could be so successful, besides the efforts of the actors, is even more inseparable from the supporters behind the scenes."

After a pause, Luo Yan continued.

"For example, this Miss Yaya Midia sitting in front of you is the behind-the-scenes investor and founder of the 'Iris Troupe' that is now popular all over Thunder City."

Ailin was stunned, looking in surprise at Miss Yaya Midia sitting beside her.

"So that play was prepared by you?"

Mi Ya opened her folding fan, covered her mouth and chuckled, saying somewhat proudly.

"To tell you the truth, it is exactly me."

The awkwardness in Ailin's eyes melted, replaced by sincere surprise.

She originally thought the other party was just a social butterfly who was good at dancing, but didn't expect her to be a talented artist.

"... Even on the front line of Gladstone Castle, I often heard soldiers discussing the name 'Eloise.' You did a great thing, Miss Yaya."

"Where, it's all because Mr. Prince Prince Kelin's script is written well. I'm just responsible for building the stage and arranging a few suitable actors."

Mi Ya gently shook her folding fan, the smile on her face still elegant and decent, but perhaps because she was too proud, her aggressiveness was unexpectedly much less.

Speaking of this, she happened to remember something else, her peach-red eyes suddenly lit up, like a fox that had discovered prey.

"Speaking of which, I have also long admired the name of Princess Ailin in the rear. Your deeds of leading the Northern Rescue Army are much more exciting than the stories on the stage. I happen to have an idea to rehearse a new play based on your story, I wonder what you think?"

"Me?"

Ailin was slightly stunned, instantly becoming awkward and uneasy. Her cheeks were slightly red, her index finger subconsciously circling the silver hair tail at her temples, her eyes dodging.

"I... a person like me is probably not suitable to stand on the stage, and I don't know how to act."

Mi Ya covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You are joking, how could we let you stand on the stage yourself. We just need to find a girl with a similar temperament and let her dye her hair silver. Ah... of course, this requires your authorization, as well as some real details."

Ailin quietly glanced at Prince Prince Kelin sitting opposite.

If he were to write the script...

It wouldn't be impossible.

"Then... alright."

Luo Yan didn't notice the meaning in Ailin's eyes, just drank black tea with satisfaction, very happy that the two found a common topic.

But speaking of which, it was truly blasphemous.

The succubus of the Partridge family rehearsing a stage play for the Hero of the Campbell family, the believer of the Demon God praising the legend of Saint Xisi.

This world is truly getting more and more crazy in the hands of the Demon King.

The topic of the two extended from drama to art, and from art returned to reality. That thing called "common language" was like an invisible bridge, rapidly narrowing the distance between the two ladies.

A short-lived peace came to the crowded carriage, the two chatted more and more eagerly, and the topic soon switched from the next script to the script after that.

"... Actually, I think my personal deeds are not important. Compared to my story, I would rather let more people know about the things happening in the Twilight Saint Saint Xingsheng."

Looking at Ailin, whose expression was hesitant but whose eyes were earnest, Mi Ya's eyes instantly lit up, almost unable to hide the peach heart behind her eyes.

Bayeli above—

Is there any knife more suitable for attacking Saint Xisi than this!

"Miss Ailin, this is truly a... brilliant idea!"

Putting the closed folding fan aside, Mi Ya excitedly held Ailin's hand, looking at the latter, whose cheeks were slightly red, and said excitedly.

"Why don't... we use a small town occupied by 'certain people' as the subject!"

"Cer, certain people?"

"It's those Tribunal members wearing black robes! As long as we show how they set up barbecue grills in the square, how they dig out the intestines of civilians and force them to eat them back, forcing people to throw their cubs into the oil pan, heh-heh-heh... that is truly making people—"

"... Miss Yaya?"

"Ah! I'm joking... sorry, once the creative desire comes up, I can't control myself a bit."

Realizing she had performed too much, Mi Ya hurriedly coughed, and in Ailin's surprised eyes, returned to being that elegant and charming young lady.

"It's okay, I can understand..." Ailin smiled embarrassedly, gently pulling her hand back from Miss Yaya's palm. "Also, regarding the real experience in Twilight City, I can tell you in detail, I can be considered half an eyewitness. Just... that is the Tribunal after all, is it really okay to arrange their story?"

If it were before, Mi Ya probably couldn't answer this question, but having experienced the influence of the Demon King, she could now be considered half a cultural person.

"Don't worry, Princess." Mi Ya looked at her with a smile, her tone carrying convincing certainty. "Have you forgotten where I came from? I am from the Shengcheng, no one knows the bottom line of the Church better than me, we just need to take the things the Tribunal and King Ryan have done and let the demons from Hell interpret them once."

This time, not only Ailin, but even Luo Yan looked at Mi Ya in surprise, not expecting this guy to have made such great progress in half a month.

It seems he underestimated Miss Yaya, it turns out she still seriously reads the reports of the people under her.

No joke, in Hell, this is actually a very excellent quality.

After all, the Demon Capital is a place with a high fault tolerance rate, as long as two of the hundred brain cells are running, there is basically no big problem.

Like the big trouble caused by Elder Zake, the War Department and the Demon God Temple cleared so many high-tier demon war generals with one key, and I didn't see the Empire really being able to push the front line to the underground.

In the end, it passed with a giggle, and I didn't see anyone mention this matter.

If Vivienne, who can beat a group of second-generation demons, is the UR card of the Demon Capital, then the obedient Mi Ya is at least an SSR level.

It seems Hell will rise in a hundred years...

Luo Yan couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

As for what card is Luo Yan, the councilor of the Demon Capital?

"Prince Prince Prince Kelin" of the Shengcheng smiled and said nothing.

Shocked by this bold and wise idea, although Ailin felt a bit blasphemous in her heart, thinking of the grievances she had suffered in the past year and the various absurd atrocities she had seen with her own eyes, this holder of the light of transmission, after a battle between heaven and man, also chose to acquiesce.

It is true that she is a believer of Saint Xisi, but she feels that she is a person first, and should have the conscience and bottom line that humans should have, otherwise what is the difference from the goblins in Hell?

There is a special record of the situation in Purgatory in the "Holy Word Book," it is said that the goblins in Hell endure the calcination of flames all day long, and the demons take pleasure in teasing them, often forcing them to eat their own intestines and then pull them out.

But speaking of which, it was truly an accident, not expecting this Miss Yaya to not only be beautiful, but also have a heart that longs for justice just like herself.

It is rare for this lady from the Shengcheng to be willing to speak for the people on the northeast coast of the Whirlpool Sea, if she hesitates any longer, it would truly be unworthy of the ancestors of the Campbell family.

"Miss Yaya, your sense of justice makes me admire. There are too many nobles from the Shengcheng who treat us as barbarians, only you and Mr. Prince Prince Kelin have never thought so... please go ahead and do it, although I don't know how to write a script, I will definitely know everything and cooperate with you to complete this script!"

Ailin looked at Yaya earnestly, this time it was her turn to hold Yaya's hand in return, her eyes shining with earnest and expectant light.

"After settling down, perhaps we can go to the theater together to see Miss Eloise's bell toll, and by the way... find some inspiration for the new script you mentioned!"

Thinking that she could finally help Luo Yan with her strength, Mi Ya excitedly held Ailin's hand in return, a sincere smile actually appearing on her face rarely.

"It is my greatest honor!"

The bumping of the carriage was like a gentle lullaby, smoothing out Vivienne's originally excited nerves, until dragging her into a dream.

It wasn't until the crisp silver bell sound penetrated her hazy consciousness that she woke up in a daze, raised her ruffled sleeve to wipe the drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm? Is it time to eat?"

She really couldn't insert herself into the topic of Ailin and Mi Ya, especially since her whole mind was on the older brother beside her, and later she fell asleep in a daze.

Although vampires don't need to sleep, she was already used to napping, in order to save her exuberant energy for a more charming night.

Watching Vivienne who woke up in a daze, Luo Yan, who was supporting this guy with his arm, teased.

"Awake?"

Vivienne was stunned blankly for two seconds, realizing that she was hanging on someone with her feet off the ground, and a layer of unnatural burning heat instantly crawled onto her cheeks.

Those scarlet eyes closed almost in an instant, and after a while, the self-deceiving snoring sounded, and the wide-open mouth hung on her fangs.

"Drink—"

That sound was really not like it at all.

Ailin, walking beside, chuckled, that gentle smile under the moonlight was very moving, just like the lake water shrouded in silver gauze.

"Your relationship is really good."

Luo Yan's expression was somewhat subtle.

Is it good?

Although he didn't think so, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it was better to let Miss Hero continue to misunderstand.

Mi Ya was staring at Vivienne with murderous eyes, this guy seemed to be a bit too arrogant, and she slipped onto little Luo Yan's body without paying attention.

She used all her strength to pry open the vampire's claws, but in the end, she could only give up.

It was in this harmonious and friendly atmosphere that the Demon King walking on a tightrope returned to his "palace" in Thunder County with the three.

As for Sarah and Teresa and her party, they moved to the restaurant of the annex according to the customs of Campbell and the royal guards.

There, the manor's chef also prepared a sumptuous dinner for them, ensuring they could receive care that made them feel at home.

At the same time, the restaurant in the main building.

The huge crystal chandelier illuminated the restaurant brightly, the long dining table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and the candle flames on the silver candlesticks flickered gently in the breeze.

The air was filled with the burnt aroma of roast meat and the breath of cream mushroom soup, making people's index fingers move, and Vivienne finally couldn't pretend to sleep anymore.

Because little Princess Lino excitedly rushed over.

"Vivienne sister!"

This little princess liked "Gutafu" brother first, and Vivienne sister second.

And Vivienne also took good care of this "little oil bottle" who worshipped her, regarding her as her true disciple in the human world, and taught all the tricks to bully Nan Fu to her.

Poor Nan Fu just became a "diplomatic gift."

Under the shaking of Miss Lino, Vivienne finally climbed down from someone's arm reluctantly, restoring the spirit of being a "big sister" in the past.

However, this scene of the dragon waking up scared Prince Richard and Alfred, who were trying to slip away from the side quietly.

The two little guys were like seeing a ghost, their faces pale, almost drilling under the dining table, fearing that this terrible "instructor" would have a whim and test his fighting skills at the dining table.

"Oh my, Richard, am I that scary?"

Vivienne had just woken up, her mood was excellent, and she was just looking for someone to practice with.

She gave a smile she thought was kind to the trembling boy, but Richard shook even more violently, and sweat was about to drip down.

Fortunately, Nan Fu walked over with a blank face at this time, successfully absorbing the firepower on the two little guys...

On the other side, a moving reunion was being staged at the entrance of the restaurant.

"Ailin, long time no see! You finally came back!"

Lady Andongni walked excitedly to Ailin, gave her a big hug, then looked at her face with concern and said, "My husband and I have been worried about you, seeing that you are still as healthy as before, I am relieved!"

"Thank you for your concern, Madam," Ailin performed a decent knight salute, her face also full of longing, "When I was on the front line, I was also always worried about you and my brother."

A smile of relief appeared on Lady Andongni's face, her eyes looking at her with affection.

"Speaking of which, you have already seen Edward when you were in Gladstone Castle, right? How is he doing over there? Has he lost weight?"

Ailin said with a smile.

"He is very good, it is said that he also prepared a deer velvet cloak for you as a gift, that is the prey he hunted himself, made by the craftsmen of Gladstone Castle. He also excitedly told me that he hit it with a Luokesai 1054 rifle, hitting it with one shot from five hundred meters away... he had never seen such an accurate firearm."

Actually, let alone Edward, Ailin hadn't seen it either.

The Northern Rescue Army wasn't equipped with the Luokesai series of rifles, after all, when this stuff came off the production line, the battles that should have been fought in the Twilight Saint Saint Xingsheng were all over.

The guerrillas of the Salvation Army might have used that stuff earlier than her subordinates.

A smile appeared on Andongni's face.

"Haha, that is truly his style, he is like a child when he is happy. By the way, speaking of which, how are you and Mr. Prince Prince Kelin?"

While saying this, she looked at Mr. Prince Prince Kelin, who was instructing the butler to prepare to serve the dishes, with a teasing look.

Ailin's cheeks were slightly hot, and she suddenly became hesitant.

Seeing this expression on her face, Lady Andongni's eyes suddenly added a trace of ambiguity, revealing an "I understand" expression.

"So that's it, then I won't ask more."

Seeing that look, Ailin and Yaya were almost panicked at the same time.

"Wait a minute... things are not what you think."

"That's right! Co, Prince Prince Kelin is not that kind of person!"

The two said in unison, then looked at each other blankly, and then the awkward atmosphere spread silently.

"Youth is truly good."

Andongni giggled, her eyes flowing between the two for a while, and then ended this topic without a trace.

Although Edward always wanted to match Ailin and Prince Prince Prince Kelin, she always felt it was better to respect the opinions of the parties involved.

Prince Prince Prince Kelin had already helped the Campbell family too much, and reasonably they should be grateful, rather than desiring to get more at all costs.

Even standing from the position of a sister-in-law, she very much hoped that Ailin could be happy...

The long-lost family dinner began, Grand Duke Edward's wife, the dignified and gentle Duchess Andongni, had been waiting for a long time with three children.

Added to Luo Yan's "family," the spacious restaurant instantly became lively.

The atmosphere during the meal was warm and enthusiastic, as if it were a continuation of the chat on the carriage, just with one more Lady Andongni participating.

Because the two families were already very familiar, they didn't stick too much to formal etiquette.

Vivienne boasted to the two little Campbells carelessly, while Nan Fu talked to Miss Lino about things at Thunder City University with a red face.

Ailin was telling Lady Andongni, Mi Ya, and Luo Yan about her experiences in Twilight City over the past year in a low voice.

Including what she saw and heard outside Twilight City, including seeing people kneeling in front of that group of black-robed adjudicators and begging, including seeing people selling their souls for a piece of bread.

"... The Tribunal used bread plundered from the countryside to relieve the citizens of Twilight City, the citizens were still living so poorly, I couldn't even imagine what the situation was like in the village. Not a single person who fled to Twilight City came, even when the Green Forest Army was rampant, there was no such thing... this is too unusual."

The Tribunal had a great impact on her.

Even greater than the Green Forest Army.

She had seen the madness of desperate people making a last-ditch effort when they had nowhere to go, and also saw a group of people who claimed to be righteous, how they threw their suffering onto the chopping board from high above.

And all of this happened in the name of her faith, under her eyes, so much so that she once doubted whether the sword in her hand was still righteous...

Anyway, her body was definitely not anymore.

That man named "Luo Yan" used evil magic to turn her into a vampire, and injected filthy power into her body.

Of course, Ailin didn't dare tell Andongni about this.

She didn't even dare tell her brother, only Prince Prince Kelin and a few confidants beside her, as well as a certain dwarf lord of the High Mountain Kingdom, knew this secret.

It wasn't out of distrust of her brother's family, she just didn't want them to bear the pressure of being accomplices for no reason.

Lady Andongni gently held Ailin's hand, comforting her.

"Ailin, our world is just like this, there is no coin with only one side, even in Thunder City. I think you must be shocked by its changes today, but I still have to pour a basin of cold water on you, even in today's Thunder City, not everyone can feel the warmth of the holy light... and this is also why your brother is still using the royal treasury to subsidize the poor's bread."

"No matter what you saw in Twilight City, please keep the light in your heart, carry the light of transmission bestowed upon you by your ancestors, and continue to move forward with a clear conscience. Although Edward sometimes doesn't understand, I think the reason it came to your hands must have its reason."

That was Grand Duke Aaron's temporary decision, but it might not be God's will, the two things are not contradictory.

Ailin muttered in a low voice.

"I know... just... I didn't expect..."

Luo Yan took a light sip of champagne.

The Duchess is a smart person, including her husband.

He believed that even if his identity as the Demon King was exposed one day in the future, they would definitely be surprised at the first time, but after the surprise, they would definitely choose to continue the current tacit understanding.

This is a choice that is good for both the Campbell people and the labyrinth. As the masters of this principality, what they can see is not just winning or losing, but N different possibilities after winning or losing.

But Ailin might not be.

She is a true idealist, not hesitating to burn herself for the creed in her heart.

Luo Yan is not afraid of Ailin aiming the light of transmission at himself, but is worried that Ailin, who cannot bear the blow, will aim the light of transmission at "herself."

Thinking that Vivienne also saw this point, so she was so restrained today, not making a fuss all the way, even bored to the point of falling asleep.

Although this brat is crazy sometimes, able to use a "full-force" flying kick on a three-year-old child, but this Platinum-tier powerhouse has never kicked anything into trouble is also the "other side of the coin."

For the people she truly cares about, she is actually very concerned.

It's just that sometimes the way of expressing concern is a bit "hellish"...

"Prince Prince Kelin..."

Seeing those emerald-green eyes suddenly turn to himself, Luo Yan put down the champagne in his hand, and responded in a gentle tone.

"What's wrong?"

Ailin hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice.

"Do you think... I am right to do this?"

Luo Yan also couldn't make up his mind, whether she was asking about hiding her vampire identity in front of Lady Andongni, or the various things in Twilight City over the past year.

Although he felt that Ailin didn't need to have any guilt, the dirty work was all done by the Lionheart Knights and the Tribunal, but perhaps Ailin herself didn't think so.

Her depression is mostly similar to Sword Saint Gangte.

Possessing powerful strength, they still have to compromise with secular authority, shamefully locking themselves in a high pavilion.

Gangte finally went to Brass Pass, but it wasn't that he didn't see it, the man-made disaster that happened in the Que Mu Territory after he left...

Luo Yan pondered for a while, and finally decided to bypass the two possibilities at the moment, laying the groundwork for the "choices" that might happen in the future.

"... I think instead of struggling with the right and wrong that have already happened, it is better to consider how to make choices that will not leave regrets."

Ailin was slightly stunned, chewing on this sentence in her heart, and asked after a moment.

"Then... if you were in my position, standing in the attic of Twilight City, how would you choose?"

"Of course, it would be the same as you, do what you can do, and leave the rest to God's will." Luo Yan answered without hesitation, this time without any hesitation.

Because this is the truth.

He was like this when he was in the Demon King Academy, if he hadn't picked up the godhead, and hadn't caught up with Demon King Delagon being stabbed to death by Aaron Campbell with a spear, he would probably have gone to the front line to mix a resume step by step, and then bowed his head to Miss Partridge, who was not bad by nature.

Eating soft rice is not shameful, Mr. Festin is also like this, even the Demon God Bayeli got a bucket of gold from his father-in-law.

Although the Demon God Temple doesn't mention this, it is in the library of the Demon King Academy.

But what Luo Yan didn't expect was that after hearing this sentence, Ailin's face instead showed a smile of being comforted.

She picked up the champagne, took a small sip, and hid that warm red cloud behind her drooping hair tail.

"Thank you, I feel much better."

Happy times are always short.

As the last dessert was removed, dinner was declared over.

Lady Andongni stood up, greeting the children who were still playing with Nan Fu to put on their coats, and then said goodbye to the master of the manor, Prince Prince Prince Kelin.

Although they really wanted to stay a while longer, in order not to disturb the master's rest, they would go to the Andes Manor, where the royal family is currently staying in Thunder City, to spend the night.

At the entrance hall, the servants had already handed over their coats and hats.

Ailin put on her travel cloak again, looking at Prince Prince Kelin who sent them to the door, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Can I... come to find you tomorrow?"

"Of course you can," Luo Yan nodded with a smile, "I welcome you at any time."

Ailin's lips moved, wanting to say something, but probably thinking of what happened last night, so she moved her gaze away with a red face again.

But it was also at this time that her gaze fell on Miss Yaya, who was standing not far behind Prince Prince Kelin, showing no intention of leaving at all.

Out of politeness, and also out of some subtle temptation, she subconsciously asked.

"Miss Yaya, hasn't your carriage come yet?"

Saying this, she looked at the dark night outside the door again, her tone concerned and considerate.

"It's getting late, and it's still a distance from the city center here. I mean... if you don't mind, do you need us to give you a ride on the way?"

Foreign guests in Thunder City generally live in hotels on Queen Street, she subconsciously thought that Miss Yaya also lived there.

Mi Ya tilted her head and subconsciously answered.

"Carriage? Ah... no need, I live here..."

Although the guy who said this is a demon, Luo Yan can be sure that Mi Ya must have had no malice when she said this.

Because undoubtedly, Miss Partridge speaks without using her brain, which is fundamentally different from Vivienne's righteous pranks.

Even if this sentence without malice hit the Hero's blood bar, which had finally been accumulated, into air again...

And it was also the moment the words fell, Luo Yan heard a crisp sound of "crack," and a not-small movement came from the door.

Then, Teresa walked over, came to the stunned Lady Andongni with an apologetic face, and lowered her head to say.

"Sorry... Madam, our carriage is broken, I'm afraid we have to disturb you for another night."

Hmm?

Sarah, standing in the shadows, looked up in surprise at this loyal female knight, her cat ears swaying gently, not expecting her move to actually be learned.

"This... how could it be so sudden?" Lady Andongni stood blankly in place, only rejoicing that it didn't break on the way.

"Really sorry." Teresa only lowered her head, then quietly glanced at Ailin's back, thinking in her heart that her subordinate could only help to this extent.

"What about other carriages..."

"They are also broken." Teresa's ears were red, fortunately blocked by her hair.

"... Prince Prince Kelin," Lady Andongni looked at Prince Prince Prince Kelin for help.

Luo Yan certainly wouldn't refuse the lady's request, even if he saw through at a glance that the loyal knight lady's acting wasn't skilled.

"Please don't be sorry, this is my honor—"

Before his words fell, Princess Lino had already cheered excitedly, her little hands lifting her skirt, rushing toward the main building of the manor like a bolt of lightning.

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

Following the awakening of three-year-old Alfred, a third awakener was born in the new generation of the Campbell family!

Thinking of this, a touch of relief appeared on his face.

It seems that not only Hell has risen, but the human race has also risen.

The future world, I think, will be more exciting than today...
