The result was that, although Lei’na didn’t use any violent means like beatings or scoldings, she indirectly caused Fei’ouna great suffering.
Because Yilisi would step in and deliver a very forceful series of a hundred consecutive slaps to the rebellious female dragon who refused to be taught.
And the drop rate was indeed high.
After a few times, Fei’ouna was already obediently following the words of the half-dragon head maid, accepting the educational reform of body and mind.
Incidentally, it also helped her fully awaken a very extraordinary kink.
Being restrained and severely humiliated with all kinds of play—could she actually get addicted?
She actually found it somewhat addictive.
At first, Fei’ouna thought she was hallucinating from being bullied, but as time went on, she felt something was off.
Because sometimes, even knowing that doing so would incur the other’s inhuman “training,” she was like possessed, wanting to court death by challenging the other’s cruel methods.
Until later, when they were honest with each other and confessed their feelings, Fei’ouna gradually stopped her series of fire-playing behaviors.
As for her current view of Lei’na, she had no thought of using public office for private revenge.
Fei’ouna even recognized and admired this dedicated, emotionally stable, meticulous head maid.
Seeing the other so nervous, she probably recognized her and feared being settled accounts with.
“Teacher Lei’na, it’s been so many years since we last met. Won’t you greet me~?”
Although Fei’ouna’s intention was good, wanting to take the initiative to talk and ease the awkward atmosphere between them, in some situations, pulling the relationship too close right away is not a good way to socialize.
Lei’na was already afraid.
Calling her ‘teacher’ directly made her even more at a loss.
And even worse, it aroused Ka Xiya’s curiosity.
“Mother Queen, is Lei’na actually your teacher?”
“But…”
“What could she possibly teach you?”
Blurting out words without thinking could be called one of Fei’ouna’s old problems.
In this situation, should she explain or pretend to avoid?
Explaining was impossible.
After all, she couldn’t tell her daughter that what she learned from the other was the ‘Maid Code,’ could she?
But suddenly becoming silent seemed very off.
Fortunately, Yilisi, who couldn’t watch anymore, helped her out.
“Withdraw and carry out the orders, Lei’na.”
As for Lei’na, who felt like she had received a reprieve, although she really wanted to figure out the Queen’s attitude toward her, at this moment, she was more willing to quickly leave this place.
“As you command, Demon Lord.”
With that, after bowing, she quickly retreated backwards out of the inner hall of the palace.
And so, in this vast palace, only their family of four remained.
Although in this little incident that just happened, Fei’ouna made a rookie mistake, Yilisi had no intention of criticizing her afterwards.
After all, her beloved wife was just that kind of personality.
Sometimes subconsciously, she would do things that relaxed the atmosphere in certain situations.
Of course, if it were an important event or ceremony, she definitely wouldn’t drop the ball at the critical moment and cause Yilisi a big problem.
So in unimportant times, it didn’t matter if Fei’ouna caused a little trouble.
Moreover, Lei’na was still a trusted and like-minded person of their own.
Because without Yilisi needing to spell things out too clearly, Lei’na could grasp the deeper meaning beyond the order just given.
That’s not to say she was good at reading the room, but after serving the Demon Lord for a long time, she gradually adapted to the other’s habits.
The Demon Lord’s greatest trait when assigning tasks to subordinates was extreme rigor.
The Demon Lord only said to prepare ingredients for the little princess, but never mentioned any arrangements related to her own arrival at the old demon city.
And in the past, whenever the Demon Lord was coming, she would issue notice in advance.
But this time, Yilisi had secretly infiltrated the palace, and the outside world knew nothing.
Obviously, the Demon Lord intentionally concealed her whereabouts, so after leaving, Lei’na also kept her mouth shut, not planning to tell anyone about everything that happened in the palace today.
Her actions were indeed correct.
But the plan Yilisi was devising was even more complex and far-reaching.
So after Lei’na left, Yilisi looked at Ka Xiya, who was completely bewildered and at a loss, with a very solemn and dignified expression.
“Alright, now that we’ve arrived at the old demon city, Ka Xiya, it’s time I told you some inside information. For some reasons, I need to go into seclusion for a period of time, which is why I need your mother to take charge of the old demon city.”
What?
When war is about to break out, the Demon Lord is going to quit and lie down?!
You’ve got to be kidding…
Although Ka Xiya usually had complaints about this blood relative of hers, when it came to critical moments, being able to gain the support of the courts and command the bloated demon coalition forces in battle—other than Yilisi, no one else could really do it.
And you know what?
She was indeed deceiving her eldest daughter without changing her expression~
Moreover, Yilisi didn’t hide it from Fei’ouna.
In the moment when Ka Xiya wasn’t paying attention, she made a meaningful micro-expression to the other.
And Fei’ouna wasn’t stupid.
She almost immediately understood that what the Demon Lord just said was not the truth.
In other words, this was a rhythm of her cooperating in a play to deceive her daughter…
Although she didn’t really want Ka Xiya to be kept in the dark and fall into the trap for nothing, Fei’ouna could distinguish the stakes involved.
Since Yilisi wanted to do this, there must be a reason not to let Ka Xiya know too much.
And most likely, it was for the daughter’s good that the other chose to fabricate a lie.
As for Ka Xiya, she completely failed to notice the brief exchange of glances between the Demon Lord and her mother.
She was currently in a state of confusion and bewilderment.
Finally, after holding it in for nearly a minute, Ka Xiya spoke up~.
“Seclusion…”
“Are you injured?”
Don’t look at the fact that their parent-child relationship was quite poor, but Yilisi had a good reputation in terms of integrity.
So Ka Xiya didn’t suspect that her blood relative was using lies to deceive.
And the reason the girl could think of for Yilisi needing seclusion was injury.
Because generally, a Demon Dragon would only need to use this method for self-repair when its core was damaged.
The so-called seclusion is actually a special barrier magic.
Inside the sturdy barrier, the Demon Dragon’s damaged body would be completely healed.
And there were two costs: first, the barrier’s range was limited, and she couldn’t leave.
Second, during the release of the barrier, she would lose a large portion of magical power, greatly reducing her strength.
Then the question arose: who was it that injured the nearly invincible Demon Lord?
However, Yilisi did not explain the reason in detail.
Instead, she ended the topic with her usual impatient tone.
“Of course you can understand it that way.”
“In any case, I’ll be staying here during this time.”
