"Zera..." Ariel anxiously watched the distant dragon. Her fingers slowly curled into a fist, suppressing the desire to ride the unicorn and chase after the dragon. Ariel didn't have the freedom to move until she reported the situation on the battlefield to her mother.
Michail patted her shoulder and reassured her, "Don't worry, didn't the priest say that the bleeding has stopped? At least her life is saved."
Her life was saved, but for Zera, becoming a disabled half-body might be even more painful than death. Facing the situation with her only confidant, Ariel's eyes turned red and she nodded forcefully.
"Your Highness. His Majesty has sent word for you to go." The knight in red armor said. This bright red armor belonged to the Queen's personal knights.
Sure enough, it was time for her to go. Ariel loosened her tightly-held fist and unfastened the hidden clasp on her chest. The armor that covered Ariel's body disintegrated instantly.
Afraid to see an unwanted scene, Michail closed his eyes, but slowly opened them again after a moment. The Ariel he saw again left Michail speechless.
The gorgeous light blue gown covered her ankles perfectly. The battle boots that had stepped through the muddy blood were replaced with exquisite high heels, and her slender arms were wrapped in silk gloves. Ariel's bright eyes looked ahead, and her high heels made a rhythmic clicking sound as she walked.
Michail had seen human girls before, and they were almost always fragile. It was the first time Michail had ever seen a princess who personally went to the battlefield like this.
Who would have thought that there was a dress under the battle armor? Michail couldn't help but be curious about the unique aura emanating from the girl in front of him.
After wandering through the maze-like interior of the palace, their sight finally opened up. The splendid golden light was a bit blinding, and the luxury of this hall was no less than any human kingdom Michail had seen.
After all, she was still a woman, so it was normal for her to like shiny things. Michail thought this way, his gaze locked onto the center of the hall.
The center of the hall was covered by a light silver veil, through which one could faintly see a golden throne inside. Michail couldn't clearly see who was sitting on the throne with his naked eye, but he could vaguely see golden hair cascading down onto the ground.
Michail subconsciously compared the human throne with his own demonic throne. As the ruler of the world, Michail felt that his throne made of various animal bones seemed too shabby when compared to the pure gold throne. It even had a kind of perverse taste.
Determined, Michail decided that when he returned to hell, he would get himself a more tasteful chair.
Above the steps was the throne, and Michail stopped in his tracks, not following Ariel up.
Around Michail were Ariel's subordinates, who had all knelt down before the throne. Michail felt a headache coming on.
It was impossible for him, as the Demon King and ruler of the world, to kneel down.
Just as Michail stood in place, caught between a rock and a hard place, Ariel had already finished talking.
"Traveler from a foreign land, why aren't you kneeling?" A clear female voice came from the throne.
All the people's gaze focused on Michail, who suddenly became the center of attention, making him uncomfortable.
Thinking of a good reason, Michail calmly spoke, "Your Majesty, it is not our custom in our country to kneel. Please forgive us."
Bowing was already the maximum extent that Michail could accept. Even in his current good mood, if the Queen took advantage of it, Michail wouldn't mind casting a powerful spell to brainwash the entire Ace Federation and change the royal family...
Wait, why did things suddenly take a turn towards destroying the world?
The most important thing was to let this world operate naturally to the maximum extent and maintain a balance between races!
Michail quickly corrected his almost deviant thoughts.
Fortunately, the Queen did not say anything more, and after a few words with Ariel, the audience was over.
The heavy doors of the hall were pushed open by someone, and a gentle breeze lifted the silver veil in the center of the hall. While everyone was bowing their heads respectfully towards the throne, only Michail saw the face of the Queen clearly.This country! Seems like there's a big problem!!
The Queen's fair face is covered with hideous veins, pulsating with her heartbeat.
Never mind the weak condition of the King's body, this Queen looks like she's cursed with some kind of dark magic?!
Michail, who hasn't used any magic, couldn't determine the curse on the Queen for the time being, but judging from her terrifying appearance, she has been cursed for a long time.
Both the King and Queen of this country are seriously ill! It's truly worrying!
After lamenting inwardly for a few moments, Michail followed Ariel out of the great hall.
At the entrance of the hall, the person who had just opened the door was still standing there.
That person bears some resemblance to Ariel, with the same blonde hair and blue eyes, and a purple gown trailing on the ground. Her features are almost exactly like Ariel's, but she is glaring fiercely in this direction.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, I never expected you to come back alive from that inevitable battlefield. My dear sister, you should know that I've already prepared a coffin for you."
Huh? Michail blinked.
Could it be... a setting of sisters killing each other?
