"Recently, the number of magical beasts outside the city has increased dramatically."
"His Highness said it might have been caused by those huge, revitalized crops."
"After all, besides being powerful, those plants also contain high levels of magic and have an excellent taste, which perfectly suits the palates of magical beasts."
Listening, Li Aili nodded, thinking to herself that she should get Arthur to put the matter of regular hunting and clearing out the monsters outside the city on his agenda in the future.
"And him?"
Conrad betrayed his boss, saying, "I've washed off the blood and chosen a low-key yet stylish outfit. I'm waiting for you in the study on the second floor."
Li Aili: "..."
She couldn't help but look up at the window of the study on the second floor, and sure enough, she saw the Duke looking away as if nothing had happened.
Li Aili couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile. "Conrad, has anyone ever said that you're actually quite wicked?"
Conrad took off his glasses, revealing devilish vertical pupils. "Is that so? Perhaps older people all have a bit of a childlike heart."
Li Aili saw the Duke's specially chosen clothes, a deep blue that complemented his eyes perfectly. It wasn't as frivolous as sapphire blue, but rather highlighted the man's nobility and composure.
The gemstones on the cuffs and collar were also carefully selected.
In short, it's like a male peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Suddenly, Li Aili felt that she was dressed too casually.
When she went to the city hall, she always chose dark-colored clothing suitable for formal occasions.
"Then, tell your prince that his wife is going to change her clothes in preparation for their appointment."
After speaking, she gracefully lifted her skirt and gave a ladylike curtsy to the Duke, who was glancing out the window.
Joanna became the 'Emerald Chancellor', while Lily took over the position of her personal lady-in-waiting.
As Lily strode into the castle, she said to the lady-in-waiting who followed her, "Dear Lily, please help me choose an outfit. I have an appointment with the Duke this afternoon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial portal opened beside him, and the long-absent demon Claude stepped out, saying with a subtle expression, "There is a letter here. Please sign for it immediately."
Li Aili: "?"
Since Hell Express spread all over the world, Claude has been living the life of a capitalist tycoon's "oil press".
He hasn't personally come out to 'do the work' for a long time.
Li Aili couldn't help but wonder who had managed to get Claude, the 'devil's sweatshop' manager.
"Who gave you permission to personally handle orders?" Li Aili took the envelope.
The envelope was black.
Li Aili had a subtle feeling when she received it.
As she opened the letter, she heard Claude stroke his chin with great interest, his vertical pupils staring intently at Li Aili, and say, "It is a god."
Li Aili paused as she pulled out the letter.
This is a letter of worship from a god.
The visit was urgent, no wonder they used Devil Express.
The next second, a cautious knocking sounded on the castle gate.
Li Aili also saw the signature at the end of the visiting card—"Your sister, Aniana."
Li Aili: "..."
The knights of the Emerald Castle were completely dumbfounded when a mysterious woman dressed in a black veil suddenly appeared before the castle gates.
They stood as straight as statues on either side of the gate, but no one noticed the 'sudden visitor'.
"Open the door," Li Aili said calmly to the expressionless Conrad. "Also, let Arthur know that his sister is visiting, so our afternoon appointment has to be canceled."
