The prison break came to an end. A large number of imperial guards who had arrived returned to their original posts, and a small number stayed behind to clean up the scene.
"No one is allowed to reveal the Demon King's information."
As the commander of the Imperial Guards, Lilith issued an order to all her subordinates.
The devil is a boy and must be kept away to avoid unnecessary trouble.
This was also approved by Queen Catherine.
"Mother, what do you think we should do with them?"
After Lilith arranged the tasks for the imperial guards, she came to the queen again, her momentum silently weakened.
She was referring to Lu Xiu who was reminiscing about the past with his subordinates. He was clearly a prisoner, but he had no sense at all.
"No need to make a big fuss. I will talk to this demon king in person."
The queen looked at the little devil for a while, and she walked away with an elegant and calm pace.
"Mother is here..."
Lilia pulled Lu Xiu's clothes with her little hand and said nervously.
"Humph, I'm not afraid of her. Nidalee, Murphy, don't worry, I will protect you!"
The little devil had no idea how the queen would treat him, but in public, with his subordinates present, he would not bow his head no matter what.
"Master Demon, we will advance and retreat together with you."
"Me too."
Nidalee accompanied the little devil at his side, expressing her determination fearlessly, and Murphy followed closely behind.
"Tsk, the little cutie wasn't in any serious trouble, but you guys might have hurt him by making such a fuss."
Sarah couldn't help but criticize.
"Fox, don't talk."
The little devil glared over to protect his child.
"Hey, you little devil."
Sarah felt very aggrieved, and under the current circumstances, it was not convenient to teach the little devil a lesson of love.
The queen came before everyone.
The graceful and friendly queen looked around at everyone present.
"Shia, Sarah, you guys have worked so hard to capture the Demon King and bring him back to the capital."
First, the queen praised the achievements of the brave team.
"Your Majesty, I don't want any reward. Please let the Demon King go. He has lost his power now and will not pose a threat to Kaida."
Is Xia the taciturn one, while Sarah is good at talking.
She initially joined the expedition team purely for the generous "bounty", but people change, and the importance of the little devil transcends material rewards.
Not to mention not offering a reward, if the little devil could return home with her safely, she would even lose everything she had.
"Humph."
The little devil seemed speechless. He listened to the conversation between Sarah and the queen and hummed softly.
"I have my own arrangements for the Demon King. Don't worry, he will not be harmed. And the country will remember your and the hero's outstanding contributions to the Kingdom of Kaida, and the reward will not be less. This is the reward you deserve. Otherwise, it would be a serious dereliction of duty for me as the queen."
Catherine rejected Sarah with clever words without making anyone feel uncomfortable.
"alright."
Sarah wanted to say something but stopped herself. The person in front of her was the queen. If she didn't give her face in front of everyone, she was afraid that she would hold a grudge against her. So she kept it to herself for the time being.
"Demon Lord, I will be holding your subordinates for the time being. Once you fulfill a few conditions, I will release them."
Catherine turned her gaze towards the cute little devil and spoke calmly.
"Queen, why did you lock up my subordinates? Let them go. I am responsible for my own actions."
Although the queen's tone was gentle, the little devil did not give her face and retorted fiercely.
He really hated this graceful and mature queen.
It was she who issued the bounty for the Demon King, which resulted in the little Demon King becoming a prisoner.
"Don't be presumptuous."
Lilith stayed beside the queen like a guard. She didn't want to talk, but the little devil was asking for trouble, which made her secretly worried, so she quickly scolded him.
"Little cutie, don't be impulsive."
"Master Demon, please don't be so rude."
Sarah and Lilia also tried to persuade him out of concern.
"Demon King, you are very courageous, but your subordinates don't seem to want to leave."
The queen was not angry, and she revealed what Nidalee and Murphy were thinking.
"Master Demon, please don't sacrifice yourself for us."
Nidalee and Murphy finally found the little devil, so how could they leave so easily?
182. Queen Catherine: Call me Auntie
The little devil was worried that the queen would harm her loyal subordinates.
However, the queen's target was not Nidalee and the others, but the little devil himself from beginning to end.
"Demon King, you have no choice. Only by following the instructions can you and your subordinates be protected."
Catherine folded her hands elegantly and placed them on her belly, and her gentle and pleasant words made people want to obey.
"hateful."
The little devil really wanted to punch this woman a few times, but he was not stupid. He knew that if he did so, the consequences would be serious and might even implicate his subordinates, so he could only endure it for now.
"Humph."
The seemingly ambiguous snort actually represents the little devil's helpless obedience.
"Nidal, Murphy, don't be afraid. I will definitely rescue you."
The little devil was worried that his subordinates would overthink it, so he spoke to them in a low voice.
"As long as the Demon King is safe, don't worry about us."
Nidalee really wanted to escape from here with the Demon King, but she couldn't deal with Lilith alone, let alone the unfathomable queen.
Eventually, under the little devil's sullen gaze, his maid and the stone man were taken away and imprisoned.
"Hey, what conditions must be met in order to release my subordinates?"
For the sake of his subordinates, the little devil didn't care about his face and took the initiative to ask the queen.
"This queen looks serious, but could she be a bitch? Is she planning something bad to my little cutie?"
Sarah watched the developments unfold, feeling a sense of déjà vu and becoming suspicious.
"That shouldn't be the case. Doesn't the royal family have some rules against being close to men? I'm overthinking it. She probably wants to get valuable information from the little cutie for the sake of the Kingdom of Qaidam..."
After thinking about it, she felt relieved, but she still kept an eye on the situation.
"You don't have to worry. This matter is not suitable to be explained here."
Following the queen's order, the large group of people finally stopped surrounding the prison.
The little devil was taken away by Catherine, who wanted to communicate alone.
Everyone thought it involved state secrets and didn't dare to ask more questions.
The reward for the brave team's merit has been scheduled for tomorrow.
"Xia, you contributed the most in this crusade, so you can take all the rewards. Just leave the little cutie to me."
Sarah patted the shoulder of the hero who had little presence, and spoke cheerfully.
"I defeated the Demon King to avenge my sister... Now, I don't know what I did..."
Xia is not a materialistic girl. She has no interest in the reward at all. Instead, she is obsessed with the Demon King.
Ever since Sarah scolded her, her idea of revenge almost collapsed.
She felt that she was no longer on the side of justice, but more like a villain.
The little devil is an innocent victim.
"Honestly, you can't blame anyone for your sister's problem. Just let it go."
Sarah personally feels that the death of the brave sister can only be blamed on her own poor ability to withstand stress.
She committed suicide just because of a few words from others. How could such a fragile person be a hero? To put it bluntly, she wanted to laugh her teeth off.
"elder sister…"
The brave man's eyes were dull and he felt extremely confused.
Ever since her sister died, revenge has been the driving force that has kept her going.
Now, she doesn't know what to do or what reason to continue to be so angry.
Let’s not talk about the troubles of the brave.
The little devil came to the palace again.
This time, he was taken to the queen's palace.
"Lilith, please step back and investigate the progress of the human trafficking incident in the capital..."
Catherine waved her hand gently, signaling her eldest daughter to leave first.
"As ordered."
Lilith didn't want to leave, but the queen had spoken and it was difficult to disobey.
"Mother... the demon king has a bad temper, but now that he has lost his power, he is no longer a threat. Please don't bother with him."
Before leaving, she was really worried that the little devil might cause some trouble, so she reminded her mother to be mentally prepared.
"You're such a talkative woman."
The little devil was listening, and he misunderstood Lilith's good intentions, and hated her even more.
Soon, the queen and the little devil had some time to be alone together.
"Don't be nervous, sit down first."
Catherine looked at the little devil with gentle eyes. She did not have the airs of a queen at all. Instead, she looked more like an elder.
"I am not nervous."
The little devil was not polite either. He sat down on the chair and said something as if he was deliberately looking for trouble.
The royal bloodline of this generation of Keda Kingdom consists of three people, mother and daughter, but except for Lilia, he hates them all.
"hehe."
The queen smiled gently and sat down in the chair next to the little devil.
"What are you laughing laughing."
The little devil was like a hedgehog, moving the chair legs in disgust, trying to get away from the queen.
"Luna and I have known each other for more than 20 years. We are close sisters."
There is a reason why Catherine is so friendly to the little devil.
She read Luna's letter through Lilia.
"Humph."
When the little devil heard that the queen and the elf were old acquaintances, he felt inexplicably relieved and his hostility was not as strong.
"You are Luna's child. According to seniority, you can call me aunt."
Catherine continued to speak, obviously trying to bring the two closer.
"It's not an elf's child."
