But now he felt an unprecedented sense of ease, and even took off the mask that had been on his face and threw it on the ground, then opened his arms to embrace the moon amidst the strange looks of others.
He had already made up his mind to completely withdraw from Demiurge, relinquish all his power as leader, and return to the countryside to become a simple farmer.
Because his daughter already has someone to protect her!
He no longer needed to rack his brains to figure out how to obtain the power of the Wise Dragon King to fight against the power of the Theocracy.
Although he didn't know how powerful the wise dragon king from a thousand years ago was, in his opinion, this legendary dragon king was definitely no stronger than the black-haired dragon girl beside Bai Zhe!
The power that split the entire canyon in two with a casual attack is enough to explain everything.
Dragons are proud beings and would never submit to the weak. Therefore, Bai Zhe, as the absolute core of the four, was naturally more powerful than Mordred in Alben's eyes.
If the Theocracy were to discover Linda's Holy Grail identity and then turn against her, given this man's personality, he was already imagining how tragic the Theocracy's fate would be!
On the other side, on the way back to the Knights Kingdom, Bai Zhe also explained to Linda the reason why he chose her to be his concubine: it was because of the extraordinary pure star essence contained in her Holy Grail.
But the girl didn't mind at all; instead, she happily hugged Bai Zhe's arm.
She was wondering why the king consort of the first princess of the Knight Kingdom would take a fancy to a country girl like her, and why he would send a special team of knights to greet her with noble etiquette, providing her with good food and drink and taking good care of her along the way, basically fulfilling all her requests.
Even when she was in crisis, Bai Zhe not only personally appeared to rescue her, but also allowed her to see her father whom she had not seen for many years.
This made Linda feel quite hopeful about Bai Zhe.
However, this kind of longing felt like a castle in the air to the young girl, making her feel uneasy.
She felt that she, a mere village girl, was not worth such a great deal of trouble from the other party!
But things are different now. The other party is doing this because they want something from her, which gives Linda a reason to continue to hold onto this hope and to feel at ease staying by Bai Zhe's side.
Above the evil dragon's head, a brown-haired girl with pigtails, clinging to Bai Zhe's arm, asked Bai Zhe a question with an innocent expression.
"But how can I give you the Star Essence?"
Faced with the girl's question, Bai Zhe looked into the purity revealed in her amber eyes.
Suddenly, I felt that it would be too cruel of me to lay a hand on a twelve-year-old girl.
After all, the bodies of humans and dragons cannot be generalized!
However, if the Star Essence is not obtained from the Holy Grail, the hatching of Eko and Nabi will be delayed again.
Finally, Bai Zhe chose a suitable method in his mind.
That is, after Lin reaches the appropriate age, the final step will be taken, but before that, he can only obtain star essence from the girl's oral mucosa.
Even so, the amount of Star Essence obtained from Linda is less than that obtained directly from the Origin of Life, but it should still be barely enough.
However, I'll have to trouble the others a lot during this time!
Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhe's burning golden eyes turned to the blonde, blue-eyed girl beside him.
"Very well, it's decided then. You will be the one to serve me tonight, Yusula."
"Eh? Eh!!!"
Bai Zhe's words naturally surprised Yousula greatly.
Although she had previously learned from her father, Odeon, that her brother-in-law was very lecherous, and that she had considered such a thing when she became his prisoner.
But to her surprise, her first time would come so suddenly!
The following day, as Bai Zhe got out of bed, Sylvia also received news that Veronica had broken through the Imperial Fleet and occupied the capital.
Upon receiving this news, the girl immediately sent Cosette to tell Bai Zhe the good news.
"That's great news. It seems my blonde Valkyrie will be back soon."
The Demon King looked at the purple-haired maid standing to the side, placing her hand on her head and nodding it repeatedly, as if expressing agreement with her words.
It's no wonder she's considered second only to Veronica in martial prowess within the Lorea royal family; she learns everything incredibly quickly.
Chapter Sixty-Four: Anne Groot: I Have a Plan! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)
The Empire of Sephalos, a nation that has stood firm on this continent for a thousand years.
But today, a blonde princess led her troops to invade the imperial capital, the center of the empire's political power.
The once towering city walls in front have been reduced to ruins, and outside the walls are the wreckage of magic ships and the corpses of evil dragons.
Although Veronica captured the empire's central city, she paid a price; almost all of the money-grubbing dragons she led from the Knights Kingdom perished in the war.
The Dragon Knights suffered over a hundred casualties, and even some of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Knights were injured!
However, this cost resulted in the complete annihilation of the Imperial Magic Ship Force, leaving the remaining ground troops as no match for them, who could only succumb to the dragons' flames.
The emperor, princes, and princesses of the empire were personally bound by the surrendered nobles. When Veronica had just reached the palace gates, these nobles opened the city gates and delivered the emperor to her.
While Rebecca and Jessica were being sent to the royal treasury to collect treasures, Veronica sat on the golden throne that symbolized the highest power in the empire.
Looking down at the imperial family members bound tightly, Veronica planted her greatsword beside her, and like a proud queen, propped her cheek with one hand, crossed her legs, and raised her right leg, speaking expressionlessly to the captured Emperor Sephalos:
"You nearly wiped out my entire evil dragon army and severely wounded my dragon knights. What do you think I should do with you?"
However, when faced with Veronica's question, the emperor, who had been arrogant before the war in the capital, fell silent after the capital was captured.
The fifth princess of the empire, who had previously fought Veronica to a standstill with her magic sword on the battlefield, also present, fearlessly responded to Veronica's words.
"Do as you please, Veronica, but everything you did in Sephalos today will be despised by everyone on the continent."
Seeing this, Veronica was not angry at all; instead, she looked at the other crown princes who had not spoken.
"And your answer? The entire royal family of the Sephalos Empire, sending just a little girl to answer my question?"
"Heh! It seems that the royal family of Sephalos is just like this."
Just as Veronica finished speaking, the door was violently pushed open from the outside, and a petite figure appeared before everyone, giving Emperor Sephalos and his many crown princes a sense of hope.
The person who appeared was none other than Princess Annegret, the sixth princess who had rushed back from Demiurge overnight. The girl with naturally curly blonde hair spoke to Veronica on the throne in a rather arrogant yet childish voice: "I can't pretend I didn't hear that."
As the girl appeared, the knights in the palace drew their longswords.
"who?!!"
Meanwhile, the emperor was even more excited when he saw the sixth princess appear with a confident expression.
"Anne Groot, you're finally back! How was it? You must have brought back enough reinforcements for the War Knights Kingdom, right? Kill this woman!!"
However, Anegroot looked puzzled upon hearing this.
"ha--?"
The girl then waved her hand and, amidst the surprised expressions of the emperor and the many crown princes, said, "How could I possibly be a match for this woman? Besides, I didn't come back to save you."
"Among you, there are some who deserve my help... well, Lucrezia might be one."
As she spoke, the girl glanced at the Fifth Princess, who had a surprised expression, but then she shrugged and said, "But unfortunately, I'm in mortal danger right now and have no energy to care about her."
As Annegret finished speaking, Veronica, sitting on the throne, placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, her bright green eyes half-closed as she gazed at her and asked a question.
"Having successfully broken through the dragon's blockade to get here, you must have seen that man before, right? So tell me, what is your purpose in coming here!"
Upon hearing this, Annegret gently lifted the hem of her skirt and curtsied, saying, "Of course, I've come to tell you about the innermost part of the Imperial Treasury, which can only be opened by those of the Sephalos royal bloodline."
"Is this the culmination of research into ancient heritage?"
"That's it."
What's in there?
"The Star Armor Diedelka, one of the Five Great Star Tools, is also what His Majesty Bai Zhe wants. In exchange for it, I wonder if Veronica can leave behind a portion of the royal bloodline."
Upon hearing this, Veronica showed a thoughtful expression, and then Annegret saw the other woman begin to scrutinize her, her green eyes seeming to try to see through her.
A chill ran through the girl's heart, and she spoke again, "If you find it difficult, just keep Lucrezia, and do whatever you want with the rest."
Anne Groot's words caused all the royals present, except for the Fifth Princess, to glare at her angrily, and some even uttered foul language.
But Anne Groot ignored all these vicious words.
After all, to her, these words were nothing more than the barking of a dog before it died, not worth mentioning at all.
Once Veronica's forces have withdrawn, and Demiurge has offered the five great star tools to Bai Zhe to save his life, she will be able to unite the entire imperial power as one of the only two bloodlines of the imperial family. At that time, the throne will naturally be hers!
The plan was quite simple, and many members of the royal family present saw through the girl's scheme, which is why they spoke so harshly to her.
.0 0
Veronica was naturally aware of the woman's scheme, but that wasn't what she was concerned about right now; what mattered was...
"No, I don't care about that. The point is... you're still a virgin, right?"
Veronica's sudden words almost caused Annegroot to strain her back.
Although it would be somewhat embarrassing for a lady to bring up such a thing in public, Veronica was now in control, so she had no choice but to answer.
"No...that's right."
However, as she answered, Annegret was inwardly criticizing Veronica's sudden question.
This woman wouldn't be into that, would she? But I've never heard of it before, and doesn't she have a boyfriend? Or is this woman bisexual?
Veronica didn't pay attention to the changes in Annegret's expression, but her expression turned strange after hearing the girl's answer.
"That's really strange. What kind of man would let a beautiful woman slip through his fingers? Or do you have some kind of flaw?"
The moment Veronica asked that question, three big question marks instantly appeared above Anne Groot's head.
"???"
The girl quickly realized what was happening and explained the reason to Veronica.
This explanation caused Veronica's attitude towards her to change drastically, and her tone became sharp.
"So that's how it is. They're just slaves. In that case, hurry up and lead the way, and bring out the Star Armor!"
"Yes, that's right."
Chapter Sixty-Five: Veronica's Demands, the Mad AI! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)
Three days later, after temporarily handing over the Empire's full power to Annegret, Veronica returned to the Knight Kingdom with her Star Armor and the only two remaining members of the Imperial Royal Family.
As queen, Silvia naturally summoned the heroes of this war.
Just as she had promised when she registered, those who made contributions were rewarded, became nobles according to the size of their military achievements, and received fiefdoms.
The deceased's family was also bestowed with honors and a large sum of money, enough to ensure the entire family's livelihood.
In addition, Silvia also summoned the Fifth Princess Lucrezia, who was sent by the Empire to the Knight Kingdom as a peace envoy as the defeated party.
As a defeated nation, Lucrezia offered to become a vassal state of the Knights Kingdom, paying 30% of its profits annually in exchange for a certain degree of autonomy from the Empire.
As the fifth princess, she remained in the Knight Kingdom as a hostage. However, Sylvia knew that this was just Luculezia's pretext; in reality, she was merely a gift her eldest sister had captured and brought back for Bai Zhe.
While Sylvia was handling postwar and imperial peace negotiations.
Inside the harem, Bai Zhe also received a star armor personally delivered by Veronica.
However, upon meeting, this iron-blooded Valkyrie, who was on the battlefield, embraced Bai Zhe as if no one else was around, and whispered to the Demon King in order to dispel the killing aura and lovesickness from her continuous battles over the past few days!
Mordred's cheeks puffed out instantly at the sight, but he couldn't get angry because of Veronica's act of bringing back the Star Armor.
The eldest princess's impulsive behavior, however, made Yusula's eyes widen in disbelief.
As for Linda, she shyly covered her eyes with her hands, but the gaps between her fingers revealed the girl's longing for this.
After all, Bai Zhe always used her age as an excuse to suddenly stop at the last minute, leaving the girl feeling restless and uneasy!
However, Bai Zhe, caught off guard by Veronica's sudden attack, switched from defense to offense.
It wasn't until a full half hour later, when everyone was tired of watching, that the two finally separated.
Wiping her mouth, the valiant blonde princess's expression shifted from the brutality of the battlefield to a girlish smile, and she asked her man:
"So, are you satisfied with the surprise I brought back?"
