Chapter 565: The Great Lanci
In one corner of the bedroom stood an exquisite guqin, and rows of bookshelves along the wall were filled with ancient books and magic devices.
Lysandra's eyes wandered to the corners of the room, not wanting to meet the princess's gaze.
The only thing that could be considered as making things difficult for her was that the princess would ask her every day whether there were any new great demons coming to the royal capital.
As to which big demons will participate, their identities and status, and other conditions, these are actually things that Lord Fallen Kaliela does not allow to be disclosed to the princess.
The fairness of the competition in a few days must be ensured.
Otherwise, if there is any shady dealings, Kaliela's fair image as the person in power at this time will be questioned by the great demons.
There was another thing that Lysandra didn't know whether she should tell the princess.
In addition to the Great Demon Clan, a member of the Blood Clan will also participate this time.
The tenth ancestor was known as the most unique painter in the blood clan, and his power was also related to painting. After hearing about the princess's request, he said that he wanted to show off his ugliness.
Originally, the Demon Clan wanted to negotiate peace with the Vampire Clan and use this opportunity to refuse the Vampire Clan's marriage proposal. However, they did not expect that the Tenth Ancestor would agree to follow the Demon Clan's rules, so naturally they could not refuse him.
"But this time, the rules set by Lord Kaliela and the great demons may not necessarily satisfy you, Your Highness."
That was all Lysandra could say at last.
I have to answer the princess.
Although the princess expressed her desire to "like the demons with the highest artistic level", this appeal was conveyed by Kaliera, causing dissatisfaction among many great demons.
The demon nobles still thought that the princess's restrictions were too specific. Only the big demons could participate, so most of the big demons had basically nothing to compete for. Some of them lost directly, while others could win.
In addition, under some rules, nobles of the demon world can use knights as their messengers in duels, so why can't the most talented craftsman in the family be used as a painter? After repeated negotiations with Kaliela, the great demons and Kaliela each took a step back, and the final rule was confirmed that the great demons could bring an assistant when painting.
As for whether the Great Demon will paint himself and have his assistant help, or the "assistant" will be responsible for most of the work and the Great Demon will serve as the real auxiliary, it is hard to say.
But all this is within the acceptable range for the Fallen Lord Kaliela.
Finding the most talented painter within a limited time and appreciating him is also a sign of artistic skill and strength.
From the perspective of Fallen Lord, she did not want the big demons to fight each other at this juncture. It would be best if they could fight with words. As for the method of fighting with words, the more the big demons agreed with its fairness, the more convincing it would be.
Another reason was that the great demons seized on the original intention of the Fallen Queen not to let the vampires win, and used this to successfully convince her.
In the past few days, the big families in the demon world have spent a lot of energy to ask the ancient craftsmen in the demon world for help.
"Your Highness, what style of painting do you like best?"
Lysandra swallowed, but still tried.
Now many big families in the demon world have begun to approach her, hoping to use her relationship with the princess to obtain some information in advance.
To ensure fairness, the princess will blindly select the paintings of the day, that is, she will choose her favorite painting without knowing the author, and the author of the painting will become the winner.
If it were possible to contact the princess in advance, theoretically we could even exchange secret codes with her and carry out a secret operation.
The premise is that the falsification cannot be too extreme. For example, if the princess does not choose the sacred-grade paintings and insists on choosing the precious-grade paintings, it will not be convincing to the public.
"There is no restriction on style..."
Hyperion responded hesitantly.
It seemed like I didn't quite know how to answer the question asked by Lysandra.
She actually doesn't know what kind of paintings she likes.
She had seen many amazing paintings, for example, every painting of Duke Mi Gaiya was praised to the sky by people, but she had watched Duke Mi Gaiya paint since she was a child, and she felt that it was just so-so and she could not see much difference.
"I asked too suddenly!"
Lysandra quickly changed the subject.
Although the temptation from the powerful people in the demon world is great, she still needs to consider it carefully.
She wondered if Lord Fallen Kaliela knew about all this.
Sometimes it is difficult to guess what Zhui Luoqing is thinking. She may discover something and turn a blind eye to it, but if it does not conform to her ideas, she will immediately and ruthlessly eliminate it.
Lysandra actually still hopes that the princess can live a good life.
On the one hand, she would be able to cling to the princess's thigh in the future, and on the other hand, she didn't have many friends in the royal capital, and the princess was indeed very friendly to her.
pity.
Those stupid rich people.
Trying to contact her and get information from her is just for the sake of victory, not because he really cares about what the princess likes.
In fact, in terms of real strength, they are not even as good as the tenth ancestor.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When she was in school, she had appreciated the paintings of the tenth ancestor of the blood clan. She personally thought that these great demons were too confident.
No matter who wins, Lysandra is certain that there will be no happy ending from the moment the princess brings up her love for art.
Poor princess, in this situation, she herself is also a work of art being traded by the demons.
No great demon really loves her.
"Well, can you tell me something interesting about what happened outside the castle?"
Hyperion's voice came, interrupting Lysandra's thoughts.
"…I haven't paid much attention to it, but you know, I live just across the bay. Although the commute to the palace is a bit far, I live in a place where I can see the palace across the bay."
Lysandra thought for a moment and murmured.
"Then what?"
Hyperion nodded and looked at Lysandra.
"Recently, a wealthy neighbor has appeared next door to me, but I don't really know what kind of demon he is."
Lysandra said confused.
Next to her little house is actually a very magnificent building.
A week ago, a wealthy demon easily bought this palace restaurant on Leith Island. Of course, he might just have rented it to save face.
I don't know where this upstart came from, but there have been many rumors about him circulating in Leith Island recently.
But many rumors were soon dispelled because the restaurant owner renovated it and turned it into a brand new work of art, which increased its value several times. How could it be possible that he just rented it?
No one knew where this rich man came from, what he did, or why he bought this mansion across the bay facing the palace.
Some say he is a spy, others say he is a killer.
But these are just superficial guesses.
ps: I recommend my friend's book "I Became the Dead White Moonlight of Tokyo Queen"
