The next second, the girl used all her strength and, to the astonishment and delight of the crowd, pulled the holy sword, which was stuck in the center of the square and was as tall as her, from the ground.
In that instant, the person whom the Queen had specially sent to hide in a corner of the square suddenly spoke up, igniting everyone's emotions.
"It's out! It's really out! Henrietta truly is the chosen one!!"
"Long live Her Majesty Henrietta! Long live Her Majesty Bai Zhe!!"
Amidst the deafening shouts, Bai Zhe slowly approached the girl, a helpless smile on his face: "Your mother arranged for her to be contested in the square."
Just from the first person he heard speak, there were at least twenty!
But Henrietta knew very well the real reason why the people in the square were so excited.
"This is all thanks to Your Majesty Bai Zhe. If it weren't for you, even if Mother had made such arrangements, there probably wouldn't have been such a grand occasion."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe's face immediately revealed a malicious smile, and he asked the girl, "Will you still call me His Majesty Bai Zhe? At the very least, you should call me 'darling' or 'Bai Zhe,' just like Louise did."
Hearing the Demon King's words, Henrietta naturally wouldn't be as haughty as Louise, but instead asked shyly and frankly, "Then... darling?"
If they weren't in private, Bai Zhe would have been tempted to pamper her just based on the affectionate way the girl addressed him.
Faced with the enthusiastic gazes of his subjects, even the willful Demon King knew the timing was wrong. After giving the girl an ambiguous smile, he spoke again: "Alright, let's shift our attention to your, or rather our, subjects and let them witness the majesty of a queen."
"Um.".

As Bai Zhe finished speaking, Henrietta plunged the holy sword in her hand heavily in front of her.
"I, Henriettad Tristine, hereby declare myself King of the Kingdom of Tristine, and I swear to make Tristine the most powerful nation on this continent."
As Henrietta's voice rang out, everyone present couldn't help but cheer with excitement.
At the same time, Bai Zhe came up behind him, took the crown symbolizing royal power from the queen, and solemnly placed it on the girl's head.
Although the crown itself was not very heavy, from the moment she put it on, Henrietta felt an unprecedented weight in her spirit.
After crowning the girl, Bai Zhe came to the side of Henrietta, who had become the new queen, and at that moment the new queen of Tristine turned around to meet the Demon King's gaze.
Under the spotlight, she and he personally got together.
However, because this was done in public, the kiss between the two was very brief, but it was enough for Bai Zhe to transfer the blood of the evil dragon into the girl's body and grant her protection.
After their lips parted, Bai Zhe grasped the Holy Sword closest to the hilt and raised Balmonk high with the girl.
Immediately afterwards, a high-pitched and bright voice rang out from Henrietta's mouth again:
"As the new King of Tristine, I hereby declare in the name of Henrietta I that the war with Albion and Gelmania has begun! The glory of me and Bai Zhe will protect all the warriors of the kingdom until the war ends."
"In this war, all warriors who have sacrificed themselves for the kingdom will receive their due reward!!"
"And after the war ends, your achievements and glory will be engraved on the stone tablet in the square for posterity to remember!"
As the girl finished speaking, countless people were naturally thrilled, wishing they could rush to the battlefield now and accomplish this great feat of bringing glory to their ancestors.
At the same time, the holy swords in Bai Zhe and Henrietta's hands also unleashed a dazzling twilight-colored sword aura, piercing through the clouds and allowing everyone in the square to see Albion's dragon riders who were monitoring the area from above the clouds.
"It's Albion's dragoons!"
"Is he planning a sneak attack while our country is choosing a king? What a despicable scoundrel!"
"Give the order to attack, Your Majesties! We are willing to give our lives to drive these treacherous and despicable bastards out of Tristain!!"
In a corner of the square, watching the Albion soldiers swooping down as if to attack Bai Zhe and Henrietta, Chuluk's face immediately showed anxiety. He wanted to go forward to help, but there were too many people in front of him and he couldn't squeeze in. He could only stare helplessly.
Tabasa, however, immediately contacted his familiar in the sky, wanting her to interfere with the dragons.
Just as she made contact with the other party, the girl saw Bai Zhe looking over and gently shook her head at him.
Upon seeing this, Tabasa immediately understood that Bai Zhe had already discovered her, so she directly instructed the other party to act according to the situation, leaving Shelfid, who received the order, somewhat confused.
As for Tabasa's thought after noticing Bai Zhe's gaze, why not bring Qiuluk along? This was naturally a subconscious reaction of a young girl in love.
Amidst the excited and anxious shouts of everyone, the sacred words were uttered from the mouths of Bai Zhe and Henrietta:
"The evil dragon will fall! Let all light and shadow, which have been severed, be freed from their cradle... The world is now at its twilight."
"Shoot you down—Fantasy Greatsword Balmung"
The next second, Henrietta, spurred on by Bai Zhe, swung the holy sword.
Accompanied by chanted hymns, a massive torrent of light, like the twilight light of a falling sun, burst forth from the holy sword, cleaving the sky and incinerating everything in its path.
As for the soldiers of Albion who were sent to monitor this royal selection conference, they were naturally burned to ashes by the twilight light in an instant by this powerful attack, and disappeared into the world as if they had never existed!
Although the attack was terrifying, it thankfully didn't land a real blow and, under the Demon King's precise control, dodged Shelfid, who was hovering in the sky, allowing Tabasa to breathe a sigh of relief.
It also allowed everyone in the royal city to experience what it means to survive a catastrophe.
After the initial shock, morale soared to an unprecedented level!
Behold, our king possesses such power! With such a mighty king leading the way, how could Tristine possibly lose this war!
Seeing this, Henrietta, at Bai Zhe's prompting, spoke up again in a loud voice:
"People of Tristine, follow us! We have no rivals ahead!"
As Henrietta finished speaking, even Louise's mother, the former captain of the Royal Guard, nicknamed "Karin the Gale," couldn't help but feel her blood boil.
Not to mention the younger soldiers and civilians present.
"oh--!!!"
The excited roar of the horde drowned out everything else, as if the Kingdom of Tristine was announcing its future triumphant advance.
As the excitement subsided, the sun completely set and night fell, and the royal selection gradually came to an end, but the atmosphere of excitement and bravery still lingered in the royal city.
That night, all the taverns in the royal city were filled with hot-blooded soldiers and young men, who, amidst the clamor of conversation, longed to make great contributions in the upcoming war.
Inside the palace, Henrietta, who had just ascended the throne, sat on her throne with Agnes serving as her bodyguard. She received the nobles with a smug look on her face, listening to their congratulations and flattery!
But the man who could truly bring a girl to a smile of joy was not here. He was in his room, surrounded by beauties of all kinds.
But the thought of meeting the nobleman after she finished her audience with him made the girl want time to speed up.
Inside Henrietta's bedroom, Louise sat in Bai Zhe's lap like a delicate doll, looking at him with adoration.
"Wow, that's amazing! Bai Zhe! I never knew you had such a powerful weapon. Can I have a look at it?!"
Even Bai Zhe couldn't help but smile when he was being looked at with such adoration by the girl he loved.
While feeling delighted, he reached out and gently tapped the girl's nose with his finger, whispering, "Of course you can, but Louise, do you think you can handle it?"
"Forehead......"
Bai Zhe's words stumped the girl; she seemed to indeed lack the talent to become a king and couldn't wield such a sword.
At this moment, Katalia spoke gently, "Louise, even if His Majesty Bai Zhe dotes on you, you can't take advantage of that affection to make such an excessive request."
Faced with a lecture from her older sister, she could only pout her cherry lips.
"I understand, Sister Katalia."
The girl's resentful expression and voice made Siesta and Fukai, who were standing nearby, burst out laughing.
But so far there has been no progress with Bai Zhe, and Eleonor, who is here, only finds the two of them laughing a bit noisy.
The perceptive Katalia naturally noticed the bitterness hidden beneath her older sister's smile.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she vaguely saw a defeated dog in Eleonor's flowing blonde hair.

Before they knew it, the moon was overhead, and Bai Zhe and the girls' laughter gradually faded away.
Afterwards, one after another, the beautiful young women left the room, leaving only Bai Zhe and Louise in Henrietta's room, where the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
Finally, Louise, sitting in Bai Zhe's lap, decided to take advantage of the time before the new queen of Tristain returned to her room to enjoy her intimacy with the Demon King.
This can also be seen as a small revenge on Henrietta, her best friend, for stealing her man.
With her silver teeth lightly biting the zipper clasp, the pink-haired girl blushed deeply as she looked at Bai Zhe's teasing gaze and the increasingly menacing evil dragon beneath her breath. She said:
"No, don't misunderstand, Your Majesty Tienrietta was just testing whether you have any energy today!"
Seeing the girl's shy and blushing yet adorable demeanor, Bai Zhe immediately made a gesture of invitation: "Then please, Miss Louise, you may come."
Louise, who didn't know what "tsundere" meant and only took it as Bai Zhe's flattery, couldn't help but hum softly at this moment.
"Hum~"
Twenty minutes later, the moment Anies turned the doorknob and opened the door, Louise, who was covering her cherry lips, rushed out at that moment.
Seeing this, Henrietta quickly made way for her, but when she saw that the person rushing out was her best friend, she immediately wanted to call her back.
"Wait, Louise!?"
Unfortunately, the girl rushed out too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Henrietta somewhat embarrassed to lower her arm.
"Strange, why is Louise so flustered? Is she angry with me?"
But if the other party was going to be angry, they should have been angry when she and Bai Zhe got engaged, not at this critical moment.
Meanwhile, seeing the bewildered Queen, Anies, who had been through similar experiences and understood what Louise was implying, decided to remain silent.
I'm doing this for your own good, Princess... no, Your Majesty. New things should be discovered by oneself!
With these thoughts in mind, the blonde female knight bowed to Henrietta and said, "Then, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."
Upon hearing this, the girl snapped out of her daze and said to Anies, who had kept her company for the first half of the night, "Well, thank you for your hard work today, Anies."
Faced with the king's gratitude, Agnes, as a subject, was naturally flattered and overwhelmed.
"It is my honor to serve you."
As she left, the blonde female knight made sure to close the door behind her.
In this room, which seemed spacious but felt cramped in Henrietta's mind at the moment, the newly crowned Queen of Tristain, who had always been poised and regal in front of all the nobles, was now somewhat hesitant to look at Bai Zhe.
The room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, with only her and Bai Zhe alone, and a strangely blush-inducing scent that made her lower her head in embarrassment.
However, after some internal struggle, the young woman finally raised her head to face her future husband.
"Thank you for everything you've done for me and for Tristine. From this day forward, I belong to you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe slowly approached the girl, grabbed her wrist with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace and saying, "You're being too formal. We're already husband and wife, aren't we?"
"Ah."
Henrietta naturally knew that, given her relationship with Bai Zhe, all that was missing was a wedding witnessed by the whole world.
Then, the purple-haired girl shyly raised her head, looking at the tenderness and doting in Bai Zhe's majestic, burning golden eyes, and closed her eyes slightly, revealing an expression of letting him take her as he pleased.
Seeing this, Bai Zhe naturally didn't hold back and picked the most precious flower from Tristine that night.
The next day, after Bai Zhe woke up, Henrietta had already left, leaving only a lingering warmth and a faint fragrance of a young girl beside him.
Seeing this, Bai Zhe sighed helplessly, "Even if you become king, you don't have to force yourself to this extent, do you?"
The Demon King had already made up his mind: he would let the former Queen establish a cabinet, and let Henrietta delegate most of the work to the cabinet. He would only need to make the final decisions on important matters.
In this way, the girl can spend the rest of her time with him.
Now that the warm, fragrant woman was no longer in his arms, the Demon King naturally no longer craved the warmth of the bed. With the help of Siesta, who came to fetch him, he went to the bathhouse for a comfortable soak, changed his clothes, and then returned to the throne room.
Although the sun was already high in the sky, Henrietta was still discussing the upcoming war with the nobles.
After obtaining some information from Bai Zhe, the main girl wanted to break the nobles' restrictions on the kingdom through military force, but her proposal was met with opposition as soon as it was put forward.
Below the throne, former Queen Marianne and her close friend Karin naturally gave strong support to Henrietta's proposal.
After a heated argument, a dissenting nobleman asked the young woman on the throne, "...Your Majesty Henrietta, is this His Majesty's will?"
Upon hearing this, the girl slowly replied, "This is my intention."
The opposing nobles breathed a sigh of relief and then began to try to persuade Henrietta to retract her decision.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider. This is unprecedented on this continent, allowing commoners to become nobles based on military merit!"
Hearing the objections from the nobles below, Henrietta felt a surge of anger: "Can't I set this precedent?"
