What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

The dragon's body was partially visible.

It slowly opened its eyes, bent down, and let the creatures on its back get off.

"Is this the island where the little fox was buried?"

Miss Ghost King looked around the island with curiosity.

This shape...

This breath...

That's right, it successfully reminded her of a legend about a fox.

"It is said that there was once a magnificent palace in this place."

"In the palace lives a beautiful princess."

"The princess's family has guarded a precious fragrant wood for generations. Legend has it that whoever obtains this fragrant wood will obtain the whole world."

"The princess posted a notice to the world, searching for a warrior who could identify fragrances. If this warrior could pass her test and guess the names of all the fragrances, he could become her husband."

"Similarly, one can become the owner of that fragrant wood."

As the Demon King spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Ryoko beside him.

Ryoko remained silent, a thoughtful expression on her face.

She had heard this story before, even in the realm of gods.

However, the story doesn't end with a perfect match and lovers getting married. Instead, all those who tried to obtain the fragrant wood were consumed by their greed for it and turned into wandering ghosts in the palace.

As for this princess...

"Miss Ryoko, you probably don't remember."

"No need to say 'probably,' I really don't remember." Ryoko let out a soft breath and pressed hard on her aching temples. "I think it probably wasn't a pleasant memory."

"Oh? That's hard to say."

The Ghost King's smile grew even brighter.

……

The group continued walking forward.

The once magnificent palace is now nothing but ruins, and the surrounding land has been corrupted by ghostly energy, turning into a black, barren wasteland.

The closer you get, the more skeletons and ghostly figures appear ahead.

Su Yu had no choice but to take out her enchanted machete and hack her way through the monsters that tried to attack them.

"After all these years, this place is still the same as before, unsightly and stinking." The Ghost King covered his nose, looking at the black mud on his shoes with disgust.

We've finally arrived at the palace gates.

A strange thing happened in that instant.

The once dilapidated palace was restored to its original state in an instant, as were the charred trees, the stone paths buried under heavy snow, and the warriors who had long since become wronged spirits... all were restored to their original state.

Su Yu was stunned for a moment.

"What's happening here?"

She felt that the Ghost King should have an answer, but she also showed a stunned expression.

"Huh, is that really possible?"

Meanwhile, Ryoko's headache was getting worse.

In my mind, it felt like something that had been sealed off was about to break free.

At this moment, Xiangyu noticed that something was wrong with her, so she quickly grabbed her hand and shook it vigorously: "Mommy?"

"I am fine."

Ryoko took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the throbbing in her head.

"Since we're already here, let's keep going in."

To be honest, coming here felt like coming home.

Could it be that she has some connection with that devilish princess? Ryoko didn't think of herself as that princess, after all, she still vaguely remembered what it felt like to be a little fox.

She was perhaps...

Is it Her Highness's pet?

The thought of this possibility made her feel a little embarrassed... She didn't want to have a master other than Su Yu!

In the courtyard.

A young woman dressed in a pink kimono was sitting by the pool, getting ready.

Perhaps hearing Su Yu and the others' voices, she slowly put down the comb in her hand, raised her head, and looked in the direction they had come from.

Soon, her gaze fell on Ryoko.

"You're too late today, it's getting cold."

Ryoko stared at her blankly.

"Besides, you should know that the princess doesn't like women. What are you doing bringing so many women back? Are you trying to anger the princess?"

As she spoke, she lowered her head again, looked at her reflection in the pool, and began to talk to herself.

"Alright, alright! In the current situation, the princess won't care who you bring back. Just find a place to settle them down."

Ryoko asked instinctively, "What's wrong with the princess?"

"What else could happen! She said she would die if she couldn't get a human heart."

This woman clearly mistook Su Yu and the others for mountain spirits and monsters.

Therefore, there was no need to avoid this topic.

"Especially today! I heard it's going to snow later... that will make the princess's illness even more painful, it'll be cold. Aren't you going to think of a way?"

Ryoko: "I'll go check on her."

The princess's room was decorated completely differently from the other rooms. Moreover, Ryoko could see the faint, lingering demonic aura at a glance.

That's right, it's demonic energy!

It's somewhat similar to ghostly energy, but also quite different.

Ryoko entered the room and lifted the beaded curtain leading to the inner room.

On a white jade bed lay a young woman, her clothes half undone. She was scratching her chest with her sharp fingernails, making painful gasps.

"Well……"

"Liang, you're back!"

"Have you brought me any fresh perspectives?"

She sat up slightly, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth that hadn't yet dried, and stared intently at Ryoko with her long, narrow eyes and pink eye makeup.

"Liang, you seem different from the person I knew."

Ryoko let out a soft sigh and said, "It's probably because the wind is too strong down the mountain."

"Yes, yes, yes! The wind down the mountain is really strong... hiss! So, did you bring me any human hearts? I need fresh human hearts!"

puff-

Her Highness rolled off the bed.

He fell to the ground and hit his head.

She looks absolutely miserable right now.

However, if she has a fresh heart in front of her, she will immediately become energetic and lively.

"They have no humanity."

Ryoko took a slight step back.

Although she still couldn't remember anything, she drew her sword, ready to give this man-eating monster a quick death.

"I'm sorry, but I think I should offer you a ride."

She raised her sword and slashed at her opponent without any mercy.

A piercing scream echoed throughout the room.

The Ghost King and Su Yu, who were standing outside, instinctively covered the children's ears and hugged them in their arms.

after awhile……

Ryoko, covered in blood, walked out expressionlessly, sword in hand.

However, the noise inside the house did not disappear.

A cloud of black mist attacked her from behind at lightning speed...

"Liang! You dare betray me? I'll eat your heart!!!"

432. Love isn't something that can be cultivated.

Phew——

A longsword wrapped in gold pierced straight into the palm of the princess, who was shrouded in black mist, forcefully blocking her attack.

Su Yu's support came at a very timely time.

Ryoko turned around and delivered another stab without hesitation, only letting out a sigh of relief when she was sure her opponent was dead this time.

Su Yu couldn't help but ask, "What kind of monster is this?"

The Ghost King saw through the truth with just one glance: "Most of the monsters that eat human hearts are manifestations of human greed."

"Born of greed, and able to survive only through greed."

"Perhaps, even they themselves don't know what the meaning of their existence in this world is."
