The unicorn carrying two people landed smoothly, and the sound of hooves echoed on the green stone bricks.

On the landing platform of the Ace main city, the guards all kneeled down upon seeing Ariel. This included the robed mage who was approaching.

Michail roughly estimated the situation and judging from the magic emanating from these people... well... they were too weak. The humans in this other world were too weak!

If Michail still wanted to rule the world, the creatures in this world would have no chance to resist.

Fortunately, the Great Demon King Michail was not interested in doing such boring things as ruling the world.

"Princess Ariel..."

"Ariel! My daughter! Your safe return is the best thing ever!"

A more excited voice drowned out the greetings of the knights, and the crowd around them automatically made way.

Daughter? Only the king of this country could call Ariel a princess. With doubt in his eyes, Michail looked towards the source of the voice.

A man with a staff struggled to walk forward. Just a few minutes ago, the vanguard had informed him of the situation on the battlefield. Facing his victorious daughter returning, King Plath was extremely excited. He walked up and tightly embraced Ariel, gently patting her.

The two embraced silently for a moment. When Plath's gaze met the man behind Ariel, he instinctively shivered. Somehow, that man gave him a strange feeling. His icy gaze had no emotion, and his deep, pitch-black eyes seemed like a black hole that could devour everything.

As the king, Plath couldn't lose composure. Even though he had an instinctive sense of fear, he restrained his inner terror and held his back straight. "Ariel, who is this?"

Michail's lips curled slightly. He had just exerted a little pressure on this king. He wanted to test the human's reaction. After all, the human was a king, so it was expected that he wouldn't be weak enough to kneel.

"Father, he is...huh?"

Ariel was taken aback. She realized... she hadn't even asked for his name?!

Michail chuckled. This princess was quite absent-minded. She brought a traveler back to her own country without even questioning his identity.

However, none of this stopped Michail from having a favorable impression of this young girl. After all, she was the first person in this other world to talk to him. Moreover, Michail hadn't had a conversation with a human girl for many years, and now there was even a slight physical contact. This made the old demon king Michail feel a little shy.

"Hello, Your Majesty the respected king," Michail followed the respectful language in his memory and took a step forward, slightly bowing and performing an elegant gesture towards the human king, "I am Michail, a traveler from a foreign country."

If Leny and the others saw the demon king acting like this, they would probably faint on the spot. The demon king who was presumed to be superior to the world actually bowed to a frail human! The sun rose from the west!

The king carefully examined the man in front of him. The terrifying aura that had frightened him earlier had completely disappeared, and it had nothing to do with this refined man.

Almost certain that he had just experienced an illusion, the king nodded slightly, indicating, "Since he was brought back by Ariel, then he is considered a guest of our country."

"Thank you very much." After saying that, Michail performed another gesture towards the king.

The king Plath slightly acknowledged the polite foreign traveler. A cool breeze blew into his sleeves, bringing a chill, and the king covered his mouth and nose, coughing a few times. The minister behind the king immediately became nervous and stepped forward to support him.

"Your Highness, let's go back to the palace first," the minister said.

The king also didn't refuse and was supported by a few people as he left.

After the king walked away, Michail was still thinking about their conversation. According to the customs of the human country, the appropriate way to address the king should be "Your Majesty," and the term "Your Highness" should be used for princes, princesses, and queens. If he hadn't misheard just now, that minister did indeed address the king as "Your Highness."

"Mr. Michail, as a traveler, you seem to know very little," Ariel lightly laughed at Michail's puzzled face, her bright blue eyes clear and bright.

"Well... I've just started traveling," Michail answered somewhat helplessly. He did just set out as a traveler, but he should be called an "interdimensional traveler" rather than a "foreign traveler.""Although my father is the king of this country, the Ace Federation is actually a monarchy ruled by a queen," Ariel explained. "So, apart from my mother being addressed as Your Majesty, all members of the royal family are addressed as Your Highness."

That does make sense, Michail thought. He had indeed seen several such queen nations in the Kalam Continent. As for why there were so few left, Dark Lord Michail claimed it had nothing to do with him.

During their conversation, a shadow suddenly passed over their heads, prompting everyone to instinctively look up. Michail recognized the enormous dragon flying above them, a transport-class dragon.

Upon seeing Michail's figure on the elevated platform, the stubborn red dragon, who had refused to let Michail ride him, fiercely flapped its wings and fled deeper into the city-state, seemingly in a state of escape.
