In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

The banshees could not feel the oppressive feeling that Maria exuded... They just thought that their princess was not very talkative.

But for those border residents who were already aggressive, the terrifying gaze emanating from Maria at that moment made the hairs on their bodies stand up.

They could always feel that terrifying gaze that penetrated deep into their bones.

will die...

He's really going to die!

This woman is not like those people in the Tower of Babel who will never resort to force unless absolutely necessary.

She will really do it!

Just as Maria was used to, humans were never the kind that could be easily persuaded... Like the people in Babel Tower, she hoped that tomorrow would be better, but she was different from the other members of Babel Tower. She would not rely on simple persuasion to make everyone sit together and communicate honestly.

In a sense, Maria prefers the deterrent power brought by power.

And it was during such a time.

The day they return to Kazde...is also slowly approaching...

……

"This is Kazdel, Your Highness."

After confirming with the guard at the door, the banshees returned to the train. The leading member approached Maria cautiously and spoke.

Kazdel today can be said to have undergone tremendous changes.

The buildings that Maria had seen at the beginning now stood in the city. The bustling streets had obviously been renovated to a great extent. The people on the streets no longer looked like wandering refugees, and the shops on both sides were much larger than before.

Everything here is thriving.

Apart from……

Kazdel's senior management.

Maria blinked.

Through the small train window, she could see flags everywhere.

This is a spontaneous action by the people of Kazdel... and it also represents their stance.

Some of them hoisted the flag of the Kazdel Military Committee, some hoisted the flag of the Tower of Babel, but more often they hoisted both flags at the same time.

The people of Kazdel don't know what the political situation in their country is like, but they can see that their lives are getting better day by day... and those who can't see these changes will also recall the glory of the Sarkaz from the radical actions of the Kazdel Military Committee.

To be honest, even Maria had to admit that given Kazdel's historical circumstances, this level of arrangement was the best option.

The only problem is... both the Tower of Babel and the Military Committee have too much power.

Neither of them has enough prestige to suppress their existence at the same time.

When the two sides are evenly matched, only division will occur.

This made Maria sigh.

Meanwhile, the Banshee Captain spoke softly at the side.

"Then... Your Highness, what are you going to do..."

Although these banshees knew that Maria had her own actions and preparations, they were still reluctant to let her go.

Whether out of personal admiration or for the sake of the entire royal court, they all very much hope that Maria can appear in the Banshee Court.

As a legendary hero, as long as Maria shows up, the status of the Banshee Court will see a leap forward.

only……

"I have my own considerations..."

Maria said, shaking her head slightly and standing up.

Seeing this, the banshee next to her hesitated for a few moments, and then realized that she could not stop Maria, so she had to touch her chest and bow to Maria.

"As you wish, Your Highness."

In the blink of an eye, the woman disappeared in front of the banshees.

Only the scent of incense remains, which is a pity...

……

After silently leaving the banshees' convoy, Maria did not act rashly.

Instead, he went to look for Warfarin first.

But unfortunately, Huafalin seemed to have something to deal with in recent years. When Maria approached the place in her memory, the original small clinic had disappeared.

After asking around for a while, Maria finally understood that Huafalin had encountered a lot of troubles after she killed 'Dukare'.

The most important thing was that at that time, some busybodies who came from nowhere actually made a big fuss about Ducare's death... This surprised the people and made them confused.

Who killed Ducarei?

Maria didn't know the specific details of the argument, she only knew that the final result was that all the people agreed that it was the banshees who did it.

But as to which banshee it was, it is unknown.

Then everyone started to unravel the mystery again...and decided to set their sights on Huafalin.

During that time, there were paparazzi almost everywhere around Huafalin.

After getting really annoyed with these guys, Huafalin made a decision.

She decisively chose to move.

This made Maria feel a little indebted to Warfarin.

But now that Warfarin can't be found, if Maria wants to truly understand Kazdel's current situation, she may have to find someone else...

……

At night, in the royal city of Kazdel.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, Kelsey."

In the royal city, the girl in white looked at the large green cat in front of her with a smile, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Seeing that the other party still seemed hesitant to speak, she reached out and gently patted her shoulder.

"I'll be sensible... Rather than that, why don't you go take a look? I heard that the ship has been cleared."

Theresa's tone was gentle, but Kal'tsit in front of her only felt sad.

She looked at the woman in front of her who was clearly at a dead end but still smiled at her. After hesitating for a long time, she sighed and raised her head.

"I understand... I'll go over there and take a look. But, Theresa, if you really can't hold on any longer, I hope you won't force yourself."

Kal'tsit said this, pursed her lips, looked at the other person's smiling expression, then hesitantly turned around and chose to leave.

After seeing the other person leave, her surroundings became quiet again. Theresa let out a long sigh, and a look of fatigue appeared on her face.

But she still did not choose to complain to anyone. Instead, she turned around, walked into her own room, and closed the door silently.

Although she was the Demon King of Kazdel, Theresa did not decorate her room with too many luxurious things. It was just an ordinary, ordinary-class decoration.

The fatigue of the day did not ease at all, and the many documents on the desk meant that it was not time for her to rest at night.

After hesitating for a long time, she shook her head slightly and silently encouraged herself.

"It's not time to despair, Theresa... You still have a chance."

As she spoke, she also turned her head.

Even though it was already autumn, the temperature in Kazdel was still quite high. After a busy day, she was covered in sticky sweat.

Anyway, it was so late and it was unlikely that anyone would come to see her, so the little girl chose to indulge herself.

She slowly took off her clothes and walked into the bathroom.

Open the valve.

The cold water drops hit her clean and fair skin directly. Perhaps she underestimated the coldness of the water at that moment. Theresa shuddered slightly when she touched it.

Above the waist, the fruit on the slender chest trembled slightly, looking extremely soft.

After a long while, she slowly adapted to the temperature of the cold water, then she silently stretched out her hand and raised her head to greet the coldness.

The water droplets slid across her lips, licked her neck, followed the ribs on both sides, gradually passed over the peaks, and went straight down her body.

The skin is pink and tender.

After a long while, until her hair was wet and her skin gradually adapted to the temperature, she slowly closed the valve, silently turned her head, and rushed into the cold bathtub.

Like a mermaid entering the water.

The slender legs are crossed.

If you lift it up out of boredom, it will cause water droplets to fall like a line.

Theresa just watched all this in a daze.

In fact, given her identity and status, it would be a very simple thing for her to just take a hot bath.

Moreover, with her current reputation, even if she really encountered an emergency, there would still be plenty of people who would find ways to solve any problem for her.

There are only two reasons why she still insists on taking cold showers.

One is that I hope to cheer myself up and finish the last bit of work today before taking a rest.

As for the other one...it's just pure nostalgia.

When she was a child, she and her brother could only squeeze into that small, shabby house, and spend every day thinking about how they would live the next day and the day after tomorrow. Every time they took a bath, they would go to a small stream outside the city of Kazdel and wash there.

The stream water in the wild is colder than the water here, so after each cleaning, they would not leave immediately, but would find a familiar small place nearby, light a small fire, and gather together to warm themselves.

Those were extremely poor days, but for Theresa, they were very nostalgic.

She never regretted becoming a demon king, nor did she regret the repeated quarrels with her brother.

She only has eyes for Kazdel's future.

but……

There are always days when she will miss it.

I miss those difficult but harmonious times...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

Raise your head slightly.

Her room was located on the top floor of the entire Demon King's Castle, and therefore, her bathroom was one of the few places with a window.

The starry sky outside the window is extremely bright, as if the stars have poured all their artistic talents into it.

Beautiful and moving.

The dark blue moon cautiously peeked out from the corner of the window, looking exceptionally small and cute.

And such a moon always reminds Theresa of someone.

A good man she didn't know how to face.

"Maria..."

She spoke, her tone faint.

To be honest, if we were to ask who in Kazdel had the most complicated feelings towards Maria, it might not be Lamaren, who had a connection with her.

But it was she, the Demon Lord Theresa.

Maria is truly an amazing person.

She was not like the other Sarkaz, who kept their distance from Theresa, the Demon King, nor would she flatter her like those villains.

She is who she is, and she has always been determined to do her own thing.

When Theresa and others had not yet revealed that they had inherited the throne of the Demon King, she dared to stand up for the refugees and resolutely confronted Ducare, who was showing his terrifying deterrent power at the time.

When Theresa revealed her identity as the Demon King, she never expected to gain anything from it.

She saved Kazdel.

Theresa didn't know what she thought of Maria.

There was no doubt that she did have a more subtle emotional thought towards Maria... something completely different from other feelings.
