Anime Crossover: I Was Chosen by a Goddess and Became the Demon King

News of what happened inside the palace quickly spread throughout the capital.

The eldest princess will stage a coup, forcing King Odeon to abdicate and placing the fourth princess, Silvia, on the throne.

On the second day, Veronica had Sylvia hold a coronation ceremony, inviting nobles from all over the Knight Kingdom to the capital to receive the new king's summons. As a result, for the next three days, Sylvia had no time to leave the throne during the day except when she was resting at night.

As for the former king Odeon and the other two princesses, they were placed under house arrest by Veronica in the detached palace.

Although there were speculations in the capital that Veronica had secretly executed the three after launching the coup, these rumors quickly disappeared along with the people who spread them.

Within the palace

Cassandra stood at the window, looking out at the lush courtyard, pondering how she could get out of there.

Behind her, the silver-haired Princess Mirabelle was sitting on the sofa, lowering a flag alone.

Although they were under house arrest, their identities remained intact, and they were accompanied by maids. Their food, clothing, and lodging were not neglected.

As for King Odeon, after meeting Veronica, he disguised himself and, accompanied by his guards, went to watch an opera outside the royal city.

Out of the corner of her eye, Mirabelle noticed Cassandra deep in thought. To prevent her ambitious but already weakened second sister from suffering a bad end, Mirabelle kindly reminded her:

"Don't even think about it. Father was able to get out because Sister Veronica knew he was incompetent. She thought that smart people like you and me, Cassandra, wouldn't be able to get out."

Unfortunately, the other party was not appreciative at all, and instead mocked the girl's words, saying, "Mira Belle, how come I never realized you were so good at boasting before?"

Faced with Cassandra's taunts, Mirabelle naturally couldn't remain silent. Instead, she uttered some sharp words that left the other party speechless.

"I'm just stating my opinion. If you think you're an idiot, I have nothing to say."

"嘁~!"

Upon hearing this, Cassandra naturally couldn't admit that she was a fool, so she could only scoff at Mirabey's words.

Just as the two finished their conversation, the door was opened from the outside.

It was Bai Zhe who brought Mordred, Anya, and Prinz here.

"It's much quieter here."

Upon entering, Bai Zhe immediately sat down opposite the silver-haired princess, while Mordred sat on Bai Zhe's lap without any hesitation.

Anya and Prinz, with her small dog and baby dragon following behind, stood on either side of Bai Zhe.

At the same time, upon seeing Bai Zhe, Cassandra's alluring face instantly showed a look of panic.

What are you doing here?!

You see, in the past few days, because of Bai Zhe's arrival, her plan was exposed and completely failed. The Demon King's figure has become her nightmare, waking her up from her dreams every night.

That's why Cassandra lost her composure so much after seeing Bai Zhe again.

Mirabelle, sitting in front of the Demon King, remained completely calm.

After all, she never aspired to the throne. Now that Sylvia has been placed on the throne by the other party and Veronica, she no longer needs to feign compliance with those fawning nobles!

Ignoring Cassandra's question, Bai Zhe looked at the chessboard in front of him and asked the silver-haired princess, "Would you like to play a game with me?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mirabelle's calm eyes slowly turned to Bai Zhe, and after staring at her for several seconds, she slowly nodded.

As the chessboard reset, Cassandra, who was being ignored, felt both extremely relieved and furious.

Thankfully, Bai Zhe didn't come to find her or to execute her.

What angered her was that, with such a stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, this man actually ignored her?!

However, when she thought of Bai Zhe's mysterious and unpredictable methods that had rendered the Royal Dragon Knights helpless in an instant, she dared not show her dissatisfaction. She could only stand there with a cold face, watching Bai Zhe and Mirabelle's confrontation without saying a word.

Subsequently, the alluring second princess discovered that this mysterious man in her eyes was actually a terrible chess player, defeated by General Mirabelle in less than five minutes.

This development also surprised Mirabelle, who was involved, and a hint of astonishment even appeared on her usually indifferent face.

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhe readily admitted that his chess skills were not good.

"To be honest, I rarely play this game, and my skills aren't very good."

After all, as young people in modern society, why would we play real-life chess games when we have the internet and are not playing video games?

Bai Zhe's composure surprised the two princesses, who glanced at him in surprise. Then they saw him speak again, "Say one more line."

It wasn't a question, but as the Demon King finished speaking, the chess pieces returned to their original positions under the power of magic, filling Mirabelle with curiosity.

Then he played another game with Bai Zhe, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth games...

An hour and a half later, Cassandra seemed to have been standing for too long and wanted to sit down. She switched places with Mirabelle and looked at the chessboard in front of her, which had been restored to its original position by Bai Zhe's magic. A sinister smile appeared on her bewitching face.

She thought she could dominate Bai Zhe on the chessboard, but she soon realized she was wrong. Her opponent was equally skilled, and she won by a narrow margin in the end.

This caused Mirabelle, who had been watching from the sidelines as she completely crushed Bai Zhe on the chessboard, to stand up with her hands on the table, bend over, and confront Bai Zhe face to face, questioning him.

"Your chess skills are actually quite good, aren't they? Absolutely, right? All those games with Mirabelle, all those losses, were just to lure me in so you could mock me, the loser, to your heart's content!!"

"Come on, mock me, humiliate me to your heart's content!!"

At this moment, Mirabelle, who was watching the game from the sidelines, stood up and spoke up for Bai Zhe.

"My brother-in-law's chess skills have indeed improved little by little while playing chess with me."

After speaking, the silver-haired girl coughed lightly, reminding her second sister, who had suddenly become angry:

"And Cassandra, look at yourself now. Where is the composure of the second daughter of the Loreamon family?"

Of course, there was one more very important thing that Mirabelle did not remind Cassandra of.

That is, her current posture of bowing to Bai Zhe has completely exposed her cleavage to him, as if she is intentionally seducing him.

Soon, Cassandra also noticed what had happened, and she immediately quieted down. Then, blushing, she covered her collar and sat down again.

After a half-minute silence, Mirabelle looked at Bai Zhe with her calm eyes again and asked, "So, brother-in-law, what is the purpose of your visit here?"

(Pictured is Cassandra).

Chapter Thirty-Two: Mirabelle: My sister never even beat you up? (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers)

Bai Zhe gave a direct answer to Mirabelle's question.

Do you want to leave here?

Seeing Bai Zhe rearranging the chessboard, Cassandra, who was the most anxious about this issue among the two, was the first to ask:

"Are you willing to let us leave? Is this Veronica's proposal, or your personal opinion?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe smiled without saying a word, while Mirabelle, who was standing to the side, slowly corrected the error in Cassandra's viewpoint.

"His opinion is Veronica's opinion."

Didn't you see that when the other side descended upon the palace in their magic ship three days ago to rebel, everything they said was because of this man?!

Their once incredibly brave eldest sister has probably already succumbed to the opponent's immense strength and good looks.

Therefore, when Cassandra asked Bai Zhe at this moment whose opinion it was to let the two of them go, it had a hint of sowing discord.

Keep in mind that they are currently imprisoned, although the restrictions are relatively lenient. Even the former king was allowed to disguise himself and leave the palace to roam the streets and alleys with permission.

Ultimately, their lives were still in the hands of Veronica and the man in front of them.

Therefore, in Mirabelle's view, if Bai Zhe took Cassandra's words as an attempt to sow discord between him and Veronica, it might even endanger Veronica's life.

Although she hadn't sensed any killing intent from Bai Zhe before he entered.

Furthermore, since Sylvia, the new queen of the Knight Kingdom, has only just ascended the throne, there are probably still many things to deal with in the palace. Therefore, Bai Zhe came to take them away.

Even with suspicions in her mind, Mirabelle did not hesitate to take all the blame on her sister.

"I'm sorry, brother-in-law, Cassandra has been cooped up in her room these past few days and her brain has gotten a bit fuzzy. Her words just now were completely thoughtless."

Upon hearing this, the black-haired princess glared angrily at her sister: "Mira Belle, what do you mean by that?!"

It's as if she's imprisoning someone here with her these past few days!

Unfortunately, Mirabelle completely ignored Cassandra's anger, her clear, still eyes, like a still lake, staring straight at Bai Zhe as she asked, "What do we need to give in return?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe slowly said, "In order to prevent the two of you from causing any trouble in the future, the prerequisite for taking you away from here is that you hand over your lives to me."

At this moment, the black-haired dragon girl, who had been sitting in Bai Zhe's lap from the beginning, interjected, raising her small head and looking at Bai Zhe with her big, watery eyes:

"I've been watching for so long, shouldn't I get to play a game?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe naturally wouldn't refuse Mordred's request and entrusted the game against Cassandra to her.

On the other side, upon hearing Bai Zhe's words, Cassandra and Mirabelle's first thought was that they would be controlled by someone through poisoning.

Seeing Cassandra deep in thought, staring at the chessboard before her with an indecisive expression, Mordred, growing impatient after a few seconds, urged her impatiently:

"Hey, hurry up and get off! Are you even a member of the Loreia Mon royal family, dawdling like this? Your older brothers and sisters are much more decisive than you!"

Mordred's words implied that he was urging not only the game of chess, but also the responses from the two players.

Faced with her response, Cassandra visibly frowned slightly, but she already knew the answer in her heart.

Just as she was about to place her soldier's piece, Mirabelle answered faster than she could.

"As long as I don't get covered in dust here and my personality and dignity aren't insulted, I'll agree to any conditions."

"make a deal."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe naturally nodded.

However, Cassandra, who was sitting opposite Bai Zhe, looked at Mirabelle with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.

She had clearly planned to surrender to Bai Zhe after losing the game, but unfortunately, her sister, who had always been at odds with her, was still going against her even now!

The perfectly planned response was interrupted, so Cassandra abandoned her composure and said to Bai Zhe, "I agree as well, with the same conditions as Mirabelle."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Prinz, who had sat down to rest because she was tired of standing.

“Very well, then after this game of chess is over, the work that has accumulated in the palace over the past few days will be handed over to the two of you to handle.”

At the Demon King's signal, the purple-haired maid with a single ponytail clapped her hands, and a ram-like maid walked in carrying stacks of documents, filling the entire desk in front of the window.

Mirabelle was somewhat surprised to see this.

"Why so many?"

Although she had already suspected that she would have to handle things for Bai Zhe when she accepted his kindness.

However, upon seeing the mountain of documents, her usually indifferent face twitched slightly.

Has no one been handling these matters these past few days?!

After briefly glancing through the top document, Mirabelle, somewhat exasperated, questioned Bai Zhe:

“Sylvia has just ascended the throne and is busy receiving nobles from all over the country, which I understand. Veronica is a warrior and is not suitable for this kind of meticulous work. In addition, I also understand that she needs to use her prestige to assist Sylvia in stabilizing people’s hearts.”

"But brother-in-law, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who doesn't know anything, so why has all this work piled up until now?"

Then, noticing the blush on Prinz's face, Mirabelle gradually understood everything.

As expected, the man who can hang out with that problematic Veronica is definitely not simple!

Just as Bai Zhe was about to explain, Mirabelle spoke first, saying, "I understand, you don't need to say anything more."

But... Brother-in-law, when the new king ascended the throne and my elder sister was busy assisting him, you spent all your time hanging out with the maids under her command. Wouldn't my elder sister beat you up?

Whether in Sylvia's eyes or in the eyes of the two sisters, Veronica, as the eldest sister, is a devil!

After she finished speaking, Mirabelle realized that she had asked a stupid question.

With her sister's belief in the survival of the fittest, she probably wouldn't care about this powerful and mysterious guy at all, and might even actively collect beautiful women for him to play with!

Just like a pride of lions in nature, a male lion can lead multiple lionesses.

It seems only in this way can she demonstrate her good taste and the strength of the husband she chose!

But Mirabelle then discovered a new problem based on this idea.

Wait, Veronica, she wouldn't be targeting me and Cassandra too, would she?!
