Chapter 39 The Great Demon King of Swan Castle is actually bisexual...
With the identity of "Princess of Swan Castle," it would obviously be easier to win over the four male guests and hold a wedding in the castle hall to achieve the end conditions of the show.
Thinking about it more deeply, this identity also allows her to leverage the various privileges of being a "princess" to utilize the home advantage of Swan Castle in order to fight and maneuver against these four incredibly powerful male guests.
It was a rare life-saving measure in this extremely dangerous program.
**********
Princess Yu Naixin herself was disguised as a cleaning maid nearby, so of course it was impossible for Luo Siluna to find out where the princess was.
Having some understanding of the "Princess's" temperament, Rosluna, after frantically searching the entire fourth floor of the central round tower and then most of the third floor, finally gave up.
“If Her Highness is unwilling to show herself, I have no way to find her…” Roseluna sighed dejectedly, her face haggard.
[So boring... Ever since we discovered the princess was missing, we've been searching these two floors, and after all this time we still haven't found anything. It's so boring...]
[The female guest is diligently following the NPC around, and she always manages to get information from him at the right time. But I heard she's the kind of female guest who likes to pull off some crazy moves, so why is she being so cautious and steady all this time?]
[What's the point of being so cautious? I want to see what happens when she faces off against the guest from the show!]
So where is the princess?
To this day, none of the viewers in the live stream have been able to guess the "princess's" true identity.
[This princess is probably one of those NPCs who's just there as background scenery; she won't appear at all during the entire show and won't interfere with the content. You can just ignore her.]
[The princess's father, the king the head maid mentioned before, also belongs to this type of NPC, even more of a background character than the princess.]
However, these NPCs can be really disruptive at times. I've seen more than once show guests think they'd found the holder of a crucial clue, only to discover that the holder doesn't even exist.
Yu Naixin wore a look of deep empathy and sorrow, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, and was still racking her brains to offer suggestions to Rosiluna: "If we could get His Majesty's help..."
Yu Naixin was quite interested in this "Your Majesty".
The background information provided by the system only states that Swan Castle is choosing a suitable husband for the princess, without mentioning a "Your Majesty".
If it weren't for the information provided by Luluna, Yu Naixin wouldn't have known that there was such a character in Swan Castle.
Such a deeply hidden character, with an extraordinary status, is either an insignificant background figure not worth much attention, or he carries very important secret information.
However, Rosluna simply shook her head: "His Majesty left the castle the day before yesterday and will not be back until the day after tomorrow."
Yu Naixin, looking at Luo Siluna with a melancholy expression, said, "I see..."
So, does that mean this "Your Majesty" is just a completely dispensable character?
No wonder when she randomly selected so many lucky NPCs to interview on the way to the banquet hall, they all only mentioned "Your Highness" and not "Your Majesty", which made Yu Naixin think that the only owner of this Swan Castle was the princess.
However, judging from the results, they were actually quite similar.
"Your Majesty" will not affect anything that happens at Swan Castle today, and the four male guests at Swan Castle will not postpone this program until tomorrow.
Rosluna's mood grew increasingly distressed: "It's already four o'clock in the afternoon. The two distinguished guests, the Vampire Duke and the Elf Prince, should have already arrived. The Ghost Wizard and the Werewolf Knight will also arrive at the castle in an hour."
Her eyes were unfocused as she gazed out the window: "...Will Her Highness appear before the banquet begins?"
[Oh? So the four male guests in this segment didn't appear together?]
[If all the guest stars from these mutated and fused instances appear together, will the other guests on the show really have any chance of survival?]
[So, there are only two male guests in the instance now?! The difficulty is at least half that of four male guests! With such a great opportunity, shouldn't the female guests hurry up and try to win over the two who arrived first?!]
Yu Naixin automatically ignored Luo Siluna's somewhat humble question. She noticed that the two time points Luo Siluna mentioned were exactly the same as the priest's folding fan reconnaissance report in the last simulation.
The four male guests in this episode, from first to last, are: the Vampire Duke, who was already in the banquet hall on the first floor of the central tower at 3 PM at the beginning of the episode; the Elf Prince, who entered the castle at 4 PM; and the Ghost Wizard and Werewolf Knight, who arrived together at 5 PM.
Yu Naixin asked Luo Siluna whether the order had any special significance, and the answer she received was that it was decided by the four male guests themselves.
“Swan Castle will send invitations to all suitable candidates for the princess’s husband in the surrounding area,” Rosluna said. “If the distinguished guest is willing to attend, he will send an envelope back to the castle with each guest’s reserved entry time, so that the castle can make preparations.”
Rosluna's gentle and patient explanation deeply moved Yu Naixin, who showered Rosluna with compliments, saying "The head maid is the best!" which made Rosluna blush slightly.
【What?! What's going on? Why do I feel like the female guest and this NPC are getting along so well?】
[...Wow, so the Demon King is bisexual?!]
[Isn't she simply trying to increase her favorability with NPCs to gather information?]
[Are you a new viewer? The little witch never treated the male guests this sweetly in the last episode!]
The little witch has always been quite soft-hearted towards NPCs...
If Yu Naixin saw the comments right now, she would just chuckle.
Why wasn't she sweet to those male guests from Cocoon Village? Of course, it's because those bastards owed her something.
The head maid had no grudge against her and had even thoughtfully given her so much useful information, so her treatment was definitely different.
While Rosiluna was distracted by shyness, Yu Naixin softly asked a question that had been bothering her for a long time: "Head Maid, how do you know the time?"
"I don't think I saw any clocks in the castle?"
During the previous simulation, Yu Naixin discovered that there were two items in Swan Castle that should theoretically be very common, but were completely missing.
One is a mirror. Yu Naixin even has to buy a small dressing mirror from the system store to see how she looks.
Another item is a clock, because this thing is much more technologically advanced than a mirror. In order to verify whether this thing does not exist in the world view of this dungeon show, Yu Naixin even mentioned related words when chatting with more than one maid.
The maids all reacted in unison, knowing exactly what a "clock" was and what its function was.
