When Aarons and his men successfully returned to the imperial border, the senior military officials, who had been somewhat nervous, finally relaxed.
If they had to say, they were not really interested in Her Royal Highness the Princess - after all, the princess had no right of inheritance, and her face had always been covered, so there was no way to confirm whether she was really the emperor's daughter.
But Aarons is different.
"We have to go out again in two days. What's the situation now?"
"There is no response from Cardia right now. The ice crystals blocking the valley cannot be destroyed even with a level 5 magic array. So we have sent our main force to Corinth, and Lord Zexiu has gone to Corinth to negotiate with the people there."
"That's good. Earl Jiangyue has a list of demands. Please send someone to deliver it to Lord Zexiu."
In order to take two thousand demons out of the shelter, Jiangyue took Zhuying Yalu and Keliya to rebuild the transportation platform as soon as she came back.
As bodyguards, Karin and Mo Qianyun never left Aarons' side - of course, their unconcealed powerful aura once again shocked the senior military officials.
How could such a useless person have a woman of this level as his bodyguard? Who spread the rumor?
"Is Xia Ye still not feeling well? I'm not used to her not being in the office."
“Master, you are really…Miss Xia Ye has just absorbed the fragments of the Mist Demon Star. It will take some time for her to return to her original appearance.”
Since the body cell groups of Yalu, the Mist Phantom Star, have extremely powerful free repair and evolution capabilities, Xia Ye can use this property to reconstruct a human-like body.
However, the process of re-creating characters is quite complicated, so theoretically it won’t be too fast.
"I didn't expect to be told that. Sorry, I'm very efficient."
As soon as Karin finished speaking, the cold voice that everyone was very familiar with came from outside the door.
The sound of her high heels stepping on the ground was crisp and loud, and her graceful and voluptuous figure was no different from before - however, on both sides of her meticulously groomed white ponytail, the two white curls that were even thicker and larger than before quickly attracted the attention of others.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Master Aarons. Lan Xiaye, get back to work now."
"…Have you grown taller? No, you've grown a lot bigger!"
Originally, Xia Ye was not short, in fact, his height was almost the same as Aarons.
But now, even without wearing high heels, she was obviously half a head taller than Aarons - and after taking the heels into account, Aarons' face was almost at the same height as those heavy mountains.
...It's too big!
"Sorry, the reason why I changed back to my true form is because I completed another advancement before. So when I turn into a human again, my size will also become larger."
Because the demons in the shelter were similar in size to Xia Ye, Aarons didn't feel it was strange.
However, Karin and Mo Qianyun's reactions were different.
“Then, that size… Miss Xia Ye, are you really not a foreigner from the cattle tribe?”
"Have I missed the opportunity to grow up?"
Xia Ye, who had regained her human form, seemed quite proud of the envious and panicked looks from her colleagues. She even deliberately crossed her arms across her chest, causing Aarons's gaze to jump up and down.
She seemed to do it on purpose.
"Well, now that I'm back at work, Master, please deal with the documents that have accumulated over the past few days. The old woman missed a lot of work while you were away."
"Ah, do I have to work right after I get back? Can I take a break..."
"What kind of rest are you talking about? If it's a special kind, Her Royal Highness has already arranged a time for it. If you want to find someone else, please arrange your free time."
Although her appearance had changed slightly, Xia Ye's style and personality remained the same as before. Her cold yet rigorous temperament made people feel very reliable.
But what she said didn't seem so serious...
"Oh, I understand... Miss Qianyun, let's go out for a while."
After giving a wink to the still somewhat panicked black-haired female guard, Karin took her out of the office... and closed the door behind her.
After discovering that his companion was so considerate, Xia Ye couldn't help but nodded with some approval.
"…Did you guys discuss this?"
"Ms. Karin has always been like this. Please don't over-understand it."
Although his tone was still flat and cold, Xia Ye had already walked to the side of the desk.
Seeing the huge mountain approaching him step by step, Aarons couldn't help but swallow in fear.
After all, he had already experienced Xia Ye's power - even if she didn't really touch his core, she could squeeze him dry like a lemon.
"Now there are only two of us left, Master. So could you please explain to me why you forced me to stay in that way?"
"Ah, this, that..."
"You may not realize that what you said in front of everyone is equivalent to declaring your sovereignty over me... Have you never considered my opinion?"
Xia Ye’s thoughts... That’s right, he had never considered it at all at that time.
He only wanted to keep Xia Ye, but ignored the other party's personal will - and the coercive force of the contract also made it impossible for Xia Ye to make an effective resistance.
So if Xia Ye had planned to leave from the beginning, then he had done something quite overbearing.
"I'm really sorry, but I... won't regret it."
"Ah, you are indeed such a person... Because I had already guessed this result, so I don't really have any opinion."
With a slightly helpless sigh, Xia Ye quietly walked around the large desk and came to Aarons' side.
And that body full of oppression and strange charm had already cast an irresistible curse on Aarons.
"Since you have made this choice, please take responsibility for it... From now on, my life will be in your hands."
"Wait a minute, Miss Xia Ye! If you have something to say, just talk it over. Don't unbutton your clothes! It would be terrible if someone comes in later--"
"——That being said, you have no say in this matter alone."
When his sight was pressed into darkness by the huge mountain, Aarons realized another value of his existence.
Of course, the same is probably true for everyone else.
