Chapter 564: Hyperion's Waiting

A week later.

The midsummer night is long and July is still young.

In the vast territory of the demon world, there is the capital city called Demon King's City - Nakaris.

The city is located near an inland strait and is surrounded by winding rocky mountains, like a natural fortress.

On Naika Island, the central land of the city, stands a huge palace made of obsidian and dark blue magic crystal rock. The palace's spires reach into the sky and are close to the bay.

Opposite is the outer circle "Lees Island", which is also an extremely prosperous area.

The streets of the entire city of Naikalis are intricate and complex, like a maze, with narrow alleys and squares alternating. On these streets, you can see various creatures from the demon world, some are tall and mighty, some are cunning and thin, and there are also many non-human demons. They trade, talk, or kill, and then are arrested by the demon world law enforcers.

At this moment, in the Demon Realm Palace, the main hall on the first floor is a huge circular regency hall with a magnificent black throne in the center, and a halo that flickers like flames around the throne.

The upper floor is the exclusive area for the royal family, which includes a study, bedroom, conference room and other facilities that a mansion should have.

Except for Lord of the Fallen Kaliela and the demons she allowed, other demons were not allowed to enter the higher floors of the palace.

In a spacious bedroom on the second floor, the purple-red sunset shines through the gauze curtains onto the soft carpet.

"…Lisandra, you can leave work now."

Hyperion sat quietly on a cushion next to the large window, outside of which was a view of the palace garden and the barrier in the distance.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the translucent barrier and gazed out over the inland bay of the royal capital.

"It's not time yet. I can't leave early. If I disturb Your Highness, I can wait outside the door."

Not far from Hyperion, a demon girl dressed in the attire of a demon court ceremonial officer was talking to her in a low voice.

"No, no, then you should stay with me."

Hyperion put the book down and said to the demon named Lysandra.

Hyperion looked at Lysandra who was standing like a servant, thought for a moment, patted a large empty cushion beside her, and motioned her to sit next to her.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lysandra nodded, walked over as if obeying an order, and sat down not too far from Hubbardine.

Her full name is Lysandra Pukri. Her ancestors were orthodox great demons, but they declined by her generation.

The Pukri family is considered a prominent family in the demon world, as descendants of the ancient great demon Duke Pukri... although the first ancestor was actually her great-grandfather's brother.

Fortunately, Lysandra managed to graduate from the harsh Demon World School. In addition, her ancestors had some friendship with the Lord of the Fallen, so after graduation, she was arranged to work in the Demon King's Castle.

Perhaps Lord Fallen was afraid that the princess would get bored in the palace alone, so as long as the princess made any request that did not violate Lord Fallen's principles, Lord Fallen would try his best to help the princess complete it, and the specific chores were left to Lysandra.

And her only job is to ensure that the princess does not become depressed.

If she fails to do so, Zhuiluoqing will replace her.

It might even be possible.

So every time Lysandra brought something for the princess, she also had a little time to communicate with the princess.

The princess was surprised to find that the demon was very gentle.

She doesn't have the airs of a princess at all.

Maybe it's because she is half human and has lived in the human kingdom for a period of time.

"Thank you, Lysandra. I would have found these days very difficult without the books you brought."

Hyperion spent most of her time reading the magic books in the palace.

The demons she could come into contact with in the palace were very limited, and the Fallen Kaliela protected her exceptionally well.

“For me, it’s work…”

Lysandra said helplessly.

Everything was arranged by Zhuiluo Qing.

The reason why she was sent here was, on the one hand, because she understood aristocratic etiquette, and on the other hand, because she had a weak character and was weak herself, so she would not put pressure on the princess.

Of course, it is also possible that she was studying in the art department and got the highest score in the art appreciation course, so Zhuiluo Qing thought that she might have something to talk about with the princess.

In fact, after spending so many days with the princess, Lysandra felt that the princess had no interest in painting at all.

Every time she took the initiative to find topics related to art, she couldn't chat with the princess. The princess just hummed and hawed a few times and then looked out the window.

It was at this time that Lysandra felt sorry for the princess.

I envy her high status and position.

She envied her own freedom.

It seems that she is not as strong as the great demons thought, and is simply pretending to be stubborn.

"I brought these snacks in from outside."

Lisandra thought for a moment, then took out a box of Demonic Pear Caramel Pastries sealed in a magic device from her bag and handed it to Hyperion.

After opening the lid, you will see a piece of cake with sweet pear ice cream as the main component, topped with crispy vanilla biscuits and Nakalis dark chocolate chips. The sourness of the pear is intertwined with the sweetness of the caramel, and the biscuits and chocolate chips further add layers.

The pear caramel ice cream was very popular in the Demon King's Castle, so she bought one and brought it into the palace.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It has been tested by palace magic and will not poison the princess.

If the princess was poisoned, she would lose her head too.

Hyperion took the black box in a daze, looked at the ice cream inside, scooped up a small piece with a spoon and put it into her mouth, and did not move for a long time.

“Is it not tasty?”

Lysandra asked.

“…”

Hyperion shook her head.

Looking at this unique delicacy from the demon world, she wanted to share it with Tata.

The more delicious something is when you eat it alone, the less delicious it is than you imagined.

"Did you remember anyone?"

Lysandra probably understood Hyperion's expression. She could read this obvious emotion.

"She's like both a mother and a sister to me."

Hyperion put down the small black box in her hand and answered.

"She...is gone?"

Lysandra asked, somewhat worriedly.

"She's still here, she's still here!"

Hyperion came back to her senses and clarified.

Although Tata has few scenes, Hyperion always feels that she is everywhere, especially in Lanqi's heart.

"Sorry sorry!"

Lysandra nodded quickly and apologized.

There was silence between the two demon girls for a while.

Hyperion thought about it and continued to taste the sweets that Lysandra brought for her.

"Lissandra, have any new great demons come to the Demon King's Castle Nekaris recently? If so, hold on for two seconds without blinking."

Hyperion put down the spoon for a moment, moved a little closer to Lysandra, and asked in a low voice.

"...I can't talk about this kind of thing. Master Kaliela warned me."

Lysandra lowered her head and muttered.
