But just then, Frey, fifty kilometers away, seemed to sense something, and her relaxed expression suddenly turned serious.

She suddenly flapped her wings and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the clan chief sighed helplessly:

"It seems she has already discovered us."

"That's good. With you by our side, we can finally talk things out openly and honestly."

"I've always wanted to know why she killed the former queen."

“Clearly… the eldest princess was exiled not long after her birth, and in the entire country, no one can take away her right to the throne.”

……

The news eventually leaked out, and Ronan's thoughts began to wander.

So, it seems there are some unknown secrets involved?

This world is strange enough. Leon has a secret, Frey has a secret, and do the other demon lords have secrets too?

Among the ten demon kings, could it be that none of them are normal villains?

Ronan remained silent for a moment, but quickly put those thoughts aside and decided to see what kind of person Frey was first.

If she's the villain, then there's nothing more to say.

But if she weren't, winning over a queen would save far more time than winning over a tribal chief.

……

"Just now…"

In the distance, Frey changed direction, and recalling the faint feeling of being watched, she couldn't help but shudder.

She didn't know where the feeling of being watched came from, but it was quite eerie, as if she were facing a terrifying presence, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Is it just my imagination?

She wasn't sure.

She asked Crowdo a question, and he replied that there were no strong people in this forest.

That was true at least a hundred years ago.

"A hundred years?"

This answer did not reassure Frey.

She squinted, slowed her breathing, and decided it was best to be careful.

Although her strength is only average among the ten demon kings, this does not mean that only those demon kings can defeat her.

There are many hidden powerhouses in the world, such as several ancient dragon species, each of whom could easily defeat me.

As her thoughts raced, Frey gradually approached the winged tribe.

At that moment, she faintly sensed the Demon King's presence.

The aura was undisguised, almost intimidating, causing her to frown.

He turned his head and glanced at Crowdo, his eyes seeming to ask what was going on.

Crowdo: "..."

Speechless, how come he didn't know when the Demon King appeared?

Fortunately, there was only one, so the situation wasn't too serious. Let Frey handle it herself.

He gestured with his eyes that this had nothing to do with him, then cleared his throat:

"Your Excellency Frey, the Winged Tribe is just 500 meters ahead. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave. I wish you and your people a pleasant stay."

"If you can return safely, I hope you can send those gems and metals within a week."

Upon hearing this, Frey almost laughed out of anger.

She felt like she'd been tricked by Leon; otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that a demon king had to appear at this exact moment?

This clearly shows they don't want to kill the winged race, but still want to take the gems and metals.

But since he was at the mercy of others and couldn't make this public, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.

Frey gritted her teeth slightly, feigning calmness as she said:

"clear."

Having said that, she decided to avoid seeing it and rushed towards the tribe, intending to end the battle swiftly and thwart Leon's scheme.

However, she stopped flying after a short while.

Just because—

"A human?" Frey was taken aback when she saw Ronan and noticed the Nine-Tails beneath him.

Immediately afterwards, that familiar chill, born from animal instinct, resurfaced in his mind.

My heart started to pound.

—It's him!

It was the person who had been spying on me earlier!

Damn.

Are the people Leon arranged really that strong?

One demon king is not enough.

There are still more?

Was it a scheme orchestrated by Clayman and Leon?

Recalling the reasons for her actions, Frey felt fear and gritted her teeth again.

Her instinct was to run away, but her pride prevented her from turning back easily.

Therefore, it could only fall passively.

On the other side of the forest, a fierce battle is underway.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, smoke filled the forest, and Celia's figure appeared and disappeared in the smoke as she fought with great gusto.

The distorted creatures around them fell down like wheat being harvested.

Not long ago, these creatures swarmed out of the magic circle without warning.

Although Celia didn't know why they appeared, she was too lazy to investigate.

Because of their ugly appearance, they were clearly not easy to deal with, and thus, a one-sided massacre began.

Not far away, Vlame closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look up.

Because the scene was too bloody, she could only rely on her hearing to judge the situation, and she vaguely heard a few words that were not very clear.

Like the Demon Knight, the Quasi-King, the Sacrifice...

"A demon..."

Vlame muttered to himself, thinking that this was probably it.

Only a creature as terrifying as a demon could have such a horrifying appearance.

Fortunately, the master discovered them in advance; otherwise, the residents of this place would have suffered an undeserved disaster.

While Vlamé was lost in thought, the demons on the battlefield had suffered heavy casualties.

The fighting desire that had been building up in Celie's heart for so long was finally released.

Looking at the ravaged battlefield before her, and listening to the wails of some of the surviving demons, a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

Standing tall in the center of the battlefield, a gentle breeze rustled her clothes.

However, just as Celia was preparing to end the battle once and for all.

Swish.

A figure suddenly appeared above the illusory magic circle.

She was a petite girl who looked to be about fifteen years old.

At this moment, she was floating quietly in mid-air with her eyes closed, her short golden hair swaying gently with the surge of magic energy.

Although her appearance is extremely similar to that of a human, Celia knows that she is definitely not human.

"The leader?"

Celia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she instantly made a judgment.

Without hesitation, she assumed a fighting stance once again.

For her, anyone who is strong is welcome.

At this moment, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

She looked around.

then.

The calm disappeared from his face.

……

……

"It's a pleasure to meet you. You must be the Sky Queen."

In the winged tribe, Ronan watched Frey slowly descend from the sky with a calm smile on his face.

Frey's lips twitched slightly. For some reason, the more amiable this human was, the stronger her unease became.

Why does he act like he's really interested in me when we've just met?
