Dongdong.
"Your Majesty, Lily requests an audience."
Lily knocked respectfully on the door; having learned her lesson before, she was now much more careful.
He knocked on the door honestly and figured out his proper place.
Arrogance because of favor? She's not qualified.
He was merely a civil official who could be conveniently used when there were no other capable people at hand.
If she remains stuck in the past and cannot move on, she will be replaced very quickly.
I have so many sisters who are watching my current position!
If those succubi hadn't been observing and trying to figure out what Karan was thinking, she probably would have already committed suicide with six wounds on her back.
"...Come in."
call……
Lily breathed a sigh of relief; the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.
When others saw her disheveled appearance earlier, some took it as a signal that some of her sisters were already preparing to take action.
Fortunately, Lord Karan did not completely give up on himself.
"yes!"
The tone rose, and Lily suppressed her excitement, walking in with her head held high after the guard pushed open the door.
For some unknown reason, Lily did not turn into a man again, but instead reverted to her original female form.
I don't know if she's figured it out or if it's for some reason she can't tell outsiders.
Da da da.
The footsteps were light, and the sound of the heels hitting the ground was particularly crisp in the quiet and empty hall.
With her head slightly bowed, Lily did not avoid Kalan's gaze from the throne, and knelt on one knee at the bottom of the steps to pay her respects.
"Your Majesty, I have come to report on the attitudes of the Grand Dukes."
"As you instructed, I personally delivered your letter to each of the demon dukes to ensure they received it."
"So far, seven of the eight legendary dukes of the Bayan Domain have responded..."
Lily lowered her head even further, but continued speaking:
"Four of them agreed to continue to support your position, but they all made some demands, such as wanting more resources or slaves, which were not too unreasonable."
"continue."
The voice from the throne was cold and indifferent, showing no interest in the banditry of these dukes who intended to take advantage of the chaos.
"Of the three dissenting dukes, one explicitly stated that he would not accept your position, while the other two, although not explicitly opposing you, made extremely unreasonable demands. Therefore, I have placed them among those who disagree..."
Lily's voice trembled slightly as she finished speaking.
"Those two? I can guess who they are. What did they ask for?"
Karan's voice took on a new hue at this moment.
What did they say?
His Majesty seems to have taken a liking to it.
Guh.
She swallowed hard, lowered her head even further, and secretly pinched her thigh with her right hand to control her trembling.
She took a deep breath, then tried her best to remain calm as she said:
"Grand Duke Sakel said that he would recognize your identity as long as you hand over the Palace of Bones to him."
Located at the very center of the Baryan Domain, the Bone Palace is not only a place with the most concentrated magic, but also a symbol of great status and prestige.
If the royal palace is handed over, then the position of the Demon Lord of Kalan will be completely nominal.
This is absolutely unacceptable!
Once such humiliating conditions are accepted, the other grand dukes will also take this opportunity to reconsider their attitude towards Karan.
"Oh, what about the other one?"
another……
Lily trembled slightly, and after ten seconds of silence, she whispered:
"Grand Duke Descartes said that he would recognize your status if you were willing to be his seventy-second companion."
madman.
Since she had already said it, Lily didn't care anymore and stated Descartes' remaining conditions as well:
He also said that since you and your mother are probably similar in personality, you shouldn't refuse, right?
Guh.
After saying all this with all her might, Lily swallowed hard, as if she had lost all her strength, and could no longer control the trembling of her body.
It wasn't just because of Descartes's insane and insulting "conditions," but also because of the terrifying pressure emanating from the throne!
!
!
Her Majesty Karan was furious.
And it was furious.
"hehe……"
Karan's cold laugh made Lily hold her breath, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"I look a lot like my mother? Hehe..."
Is this the reason you're angry?!
"Hahahaha, he's really been underestimated! Even that piece of trash dares to say such things? He should take a look in the mirror and see what he looks like."
"Trash is trash, after all."
"They were given the opportunity, but they didn't know how to cherish it."
Chance?
Hearing the meaning behind Karan's words, Lily opened her tightly closed eyes!
Is Your Majesty not worried at all about such a difficult situation?
She seemed very confident!
"As for the Grand Duke who did not respond, I went to visit him again, but..."
"Scar goes without saying."
Um?
Did I say that Archduke Scar did not reply?
Snap!
Just as Lily was pondering, a heavy kicking sound came from the throne.
winter!
A huge, spherical black shadow was kicked from in front of the throne to Lily's front, just one step away from rolling into her arms.
