Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"What???" Leonardo stared wide-eyed. "You're saying the princess isn't in her room? Where did she sneak off to??"

"This, your subordinate doesn't know either..." The female saint elf guard was sweating profusely.

Leonardo jumped up: "Quickly send people out to search!"

"So many top geniuses from all races died in the Azure Dragon Palace, but she's the only one who's returned. If people find out, she'll definitely be targeted!"

Leonardo even suspected that Emilia might have been kidnapped from the hotel.

"Your Majesty!" At that moment, another elven guard ran in: "The princess is back!"

"Huh?" Leonardo was taken aback, then let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Really... It's good that you're back..."

Her expression immediately hardened: "But she's gone too far! Bring her here!"

......

Emilia was soon brought before Leonardo.

“Father…” Emilia looked somewhat guilty.

“Amelia, you’ve gone too far this time.” Leonardos stood on high ground, hands behind his back, his face stern. “You just came out of the Azure Dragon Palace, how could you run around like that? Do you know how many races are eyeing the treasures in the Azure Dragon Palace at this All Races Summit? The human race has already reported it to the Light Alliance. What if they’ve got their eyes on you?”

"I'm sorry, I'll definitely do it next time." Emilia offered a completely insincere apology.

"Also, what exactly happened to you in the Azure Dragon Palace of Extreme Yin?" Leonardus frowned. "Why won't you tell me now?"

Emilia pouted, "I have my reasons..."

She signed a master-servant contract with Ye Ge.

What is she supposed to say...?

"What's your reason?" Leonard's tone became more serious, his eyes stern. "Back in the Holy Elf Kingdom, I let you be a little willful, but do you know how important the Azure Dragon Treasure is to us this time?"

"..."

"It seems I've been too lenient with you."

"..."

"Guards, lock the princess up and let her reflect on her actions for three days," Leonardos said coldly when Emilia still showed no reaction.

"???" Emilia's temper flared up, and she said angrily, "Fine, I'll reflect on my mistakes! After I'm done, I'm never talking to you again!"

Leonardo: "..."

The female elven guards walked up to Emilia, intending to take her away.

But seeing this situation now, she was somewhat at a loss and tentatively looked at the Holy Elf King.

Leonardo sighed.

He waved his hand: "You can go now."

The female elven guard bowed and said, "Yes," before leaving.

They were the only two people left in the room.

Leonas came down and went to Emilia's side.

His previously stern expression transformed into a somewhat ingratiating smile, like that of a loving father: "Um, darling, hehe..."

"Hmph." Emilia ignored him, turned away with a stern face, and crossed her arms.

"I was just joking."

"You're not kidding! You yelled at me and now you're going to put me in solitary confinement!"

Emilia looked angry, her eyes red.

"That was just a casual remark. Father apologizes to you."

"I don't want your apology, I don't care, go away."

“Baby, listen to me.”

"I won't listen, I won't listen!"

"..."

Leonardo sighed again: "What would you do if it were you? Tomorrow is the resource competition, and you ran away at such a crucial time. Even your father thought you had been kidnapped."

Emilia fell silent and stopped talking.

"Alright, stop being angry with Father." Leonardos reached out and touched Emilia's shoulder from behind.

Emilia suddenly remembered something and nervously dodged away.

She almost forgot.

There were still words left by Ye Ge written on the back of her neck...

Night Song said that the word was written with magic and it would take at least a month to disappear automatically.

If my father sees this, there will be no way to explain it!

Leonardo: "?"

Leonardo looked bewildered: "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing...it's nothing..." Emilia said somewhat guiltily, "Fine, I'll forgive you this time."

"Hehe..." Leonardo chuckled, not thinking much of it. "Father was just worried about you. By the way, where did you go just now?"

“I didn’t go anywhere…” Emilia made up a reason: “I’ve never been to a human city before, and I wanted to see more of the world.”

“You’ll have plenty of time to see after tomorrow; there’s no need to rush.” Leonardo: “By the way, Father wants to ask you something.”

"what's up?"

"Did you run into Ye Ge, the young master of that demonized human family, in the Azure Dragon Palace?" Leonardos asked, squinting.

"..."

"Judging from your expression, it was true. I knew it. The deaths of so many top geniuses from all over the world in the Azure Dragon Palace of Extreme Yin must be related to him." Leonard paused, then frowned slightly. "And you? Did he do anything to you? Did he bully you?"

"No."

"Really do not have?"

“No.” Emilia shook her head, deliberately feigning calmness.

The more Leonardo looked at his daughter's expression, the more he felt something was wrong.

It doesn't quite feel like it's not there.

However, Emilia did not appear to be injured, and there was no trace of magic attack on her.

Leonardo sighed. "Never mind if you don't have one. But I'm reminding you, if you have another chance to meet that Nightsong after tomorrow, try to stay away from him and don't provoke him."

"Why?" Emilia asked疑惑地. "Father, do you know Nightsong?"

"..."

Leonard raised his fist and coughed twice: "Of course I don't know him. But according to my investigation, this Night Song is not simple. He has a mysterious background, strange abilities, and a very wicked heart. Father is worried that you will be deceived by him and suffer losses because of him."

"In short, you can provoke anyone you want. Anyone below the top ten of the myriad races can offend you, and your father will cover for you... But stay away from this Ye Ge."

“…I understand.” Emilia lowered her head and pouted.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Your daughter has already suffered a loss...

Who knows how he'll bully me next...
