So fast…
It’s no longer high-speed movement; it’s completely appearing out of thin air without any magical fluctuation.
Is this the strength of the Demon Lord…
If she were to launch an attack, then she wouldn’t even have time to react.
Although the suppression from bloodline made Ka Xiya’s heart uncontrollably rise with fear, she still had her own pride.
Moreover, her mother was present, so no matter what, Ka Xiya couldn’t easily back down.
The situation where her daughter stubbornly opposed her also gave Yilisi a headache.
Naughty and disobedient as a child, and still the same as an adult—a leopard never changes its spots.
Although Ka Xiya performed very well in the army and on the battlefield, she always showed signs of challenging her mother’s authority as the Demon Lord.
If it were any other drunken Demon Dragon, they would have been beaten up long ago and taught a painful lesson about the disparity in strength.
But Ka Xiya was her daughter after all, so Yilisi couldn’t bring herself to be that harsh.
Moreover, she also had some expectations for her daughter’s growth.
The problem was, Yilisi didn’t have that kind of patience, which led to the current scene of mother-daughter harmony.
Fortunately, there was someone acting as both mother and wife in between them~.
Seeing the atmosphere turn awkward, Fei’ouna timely chuckled and mediated.
“Don’t be so hostile to each other.”
“We’re a family; it’s rare for us to gather. How about we eat something first?”
“Tell me, Ka Xiya, what do you want to eat? Mom will go make it for you!”
After her mother spoke, Ka Xiya directly ignored Yilisi’s presence.
“Lava chili fried noodles, I want that.”
“As for Her Majesty the Demon Lord, I think she can’t possibly understand how delicious your cooking is.”
Seeing that her daughter not only didn’t back down but also started provoking, Fei’ouna almost instantly broke out in a cold sweat for her safety.
After all, she knew Yilisi’s temper better than anyone—she was the type to be moody and explode at the slightest provocation.
But this time, it seemed Fei’ouna was overthinking, because Yilisi’s calm face showed no sign of anger.
“I don’t care what you eat.”
“But now, I have something to discuss with both of you.”
“Come to the meeting hall in five minutes.”
After giving the order, Yilisi, just as she had appeared out of thin air, vanished into the void and disappeared from the large kitchen.
Because the Demon Lord’s demeanor was too serious, and the meeting place she chose was very formal, it felt like she was about to announce some major decision concerning the family’s future.
Therefore, even though Ka Xiya still refused to give in verbally, she didn’t slack off in action.
In less than five minutes, the mother and daughter, now changed into formal attire, arrived at the Royal Court Meeting Hall, which was usually only used for grand occasions.
As for Yilisi, she was already quietly waiting for them on her throne.
Now that everyone was assembled, she didn’t bother with any opening remarks or preamble, and directly stated the topic of today’s meeting.
“The Old Demon City needs a reliable clan member to garrison it.”
“Therefore, Fei’ouna, I plan to entrust this task to you.”
Old Demon City… Garrison… Me?
At that moment, only these three words were in Fei’ouna’s mind.
She knew what the Old Demon City was—it was one of the few cities operated by the Demon race that had a certain modern style.
Although this world was very magical, it was not backward.
Relying on a high-density energy mineral called magic crystal, along with the research and utilization of magic circuits, both humans and demons had developed civilizations of different levels.
Of course, due to war and other reasons, the urbanization level of the demons lagged far behind that of the human Noah Federal Empire.
Among them, the Old Demon City mentioned by Yilisi was a relatively prosperous city.
But she, a vase that only knew how to do housework, how could she shoulder such a great responsibility?
‘No wonder the Demon Lord was acting a bit off… She hasn’t lost her mind, has she? 😧’
Similarly, Ka Xiya was also extremely puzzled.
The Old Demon City used to be relatively stable, but now, because it housed many humans and also the ‘Black Prison Dungeon’ where some demons were imprisoned, with war imminent, the Old Demon City was no longer peaceful.
Moreover, based on reconnaissance clues, the target of this human offensive was likely to include this place.
Even though this was deep within the Demon Realm, there were historical precedents of human invasions.
Especially the existence of the ‘Black Prison Dungeon’ added more uncertainty to the area.
Normally, under the shadow of war, it was completely reasonable for Yilisi to want to strengthen the defense of the Old Demon City, after all, it was an important place.
But how sick in the head must she be to think of sending her mother, such a gentle and soft female dragon, to garrison a high-risk city that could erupt into chaos at any time?
So, without much thought, Ka Xiya straightforwardly denied Yilisi’s decision.
“No!”
“I don’t agree!”
“What you’re doing is clearly just using my mother as a mascot to boost military morale!”
She wasn’t wrong in thinking that—the queen, who had never shown herself in public, coming to the Old Demon City could indeed have a positive effect.
But that wasn’t Yilisi’s real purpose; at most, it was an extra benefit.
Why did her daughter always imagine her as so evil?
Did she really look like a cold-blooded and heartless person?
In any case, Ka Xiya’s protest made Yilisi quite displeased.
“Why do you think your mother is a mascot?”
“Tell your daughter your story, Fei’ouna.”
‘My story? This rhythm… something’s off…’
But Fei’ouna wasn’t stupid; on the contrary, she was very shrewd.
And after being with Yilisi for so long, she had gotten used to some of her ways.
So she almost immediately guessed the Demon Lord’s intention.
First, having her garrison the important city of Old Demon City.
Then refuting her daughter’s view, wanting her to tell the story of her former self, which was completely opposite to the present.
‘She wants to break me out of my comfort zone! 😖’
‘No, no!’
She already had PTSD from humans and combat.
She would rather be locked in a dungeon by Yilisi and toyed with until she lost consciousness than step one foot out of this castle.
So, the normally sensible Fei’ouna chose to play dumb this time.
“Demon Lord…”
“The past is in the past.”
“Me going to the Old Demon City…”
“Isn’t that a little inappropriate…”
