I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

Leohart's frown deepened.

He was born a warrior, and he also knew that the other party was also a warrior. But since he was a warrior, he should look like a warrior. All the clothes on his body should be convenient for fighting. What's the point of dressing like this?

But it doesn't matter. After all, the other party is a member of the Cardinal Council, not a soldier under his command. Besides, this is not what he should care about now.

"Your Majesty, Leohart, I actually informed Monsignor Madness about your invitation last night, but Monsignor Madness is currently leading all members of the Cardinals to intensify preparations for the final battle..."

"So he's not here now, right?"

Leohart's voice had grown a little deeper by the time he spoke this.

It is true that he cannot ignore the Cardinal Council, but no matter what, he is the boss of the current Demon King Faction, the largest force in the northern part of the Demon Realm. If it were not for some of the old Demon King Faction cadres who had lost power and were still resisting stubbornly, he could easily become the king of the northern part with the power under his command.

You even dare to ignore the Demon King. You, the Cardinals... you completely don't want to do this anymore, right?

"Of course not. Your Majesty, please be pleased or angry. That is not what Lord Madness meant."

Noticing that the young demon king's expression had begun to turn grim, Edminas lowered his head respectfully.

"While preparations for the final battle are undoubtedly important, Lord Madness has absolutely no intention of disrespecting Your Majesty. Therefore, Lord Madness will hold a remote meeting with Your Majesty today."

"Remote connection?"

The frown on Leohart's brow still remained.

If he understood correctly, remote connection means... making a phone call, right?

Then why can't he fight in his own castle?

"Anyway, let Monsieur Madness explain this to Your Majesty personally."

Edminas, who fully demonstrated the characteristic of a working person who would never take the blame unless it was his own fault, finished speaking quickly, then took out the remote control from his pocket and pressed the switch on it.

drop.

It was like the sound of an air conditioner being turned on. With a flash of white light, a half-length portrait made up of holographic projections quickly took shape on the conference table.

Then a hoarse and old voice came from the portrait.

"I'm truly sorry, Your Majesty Leohart. Since the final battle is imminent, we have no choice but to go there in person to make sure everything is ready before it begins. This is the only way to meet with Your Majesty... zizi..."

As if the signal was suddenly interfered with, the figure that was relatively stable in the last second suddenly flickered twice, and the sound also became slightly distorted.

Plan together?

Leohart suddenly had the urge to draw his sword and smash it into the other man's face.

He thought to himself, you old guys are so tired that you barely even walk a few steps, and you still want to go to the scene to help organize it?

It’s good enough if it doesn’t cause more trouble!

"Never mind. I'll get straight to the point, just like I said on the phone yesterday."

Leohart shook his head and continued without taking it too seriously.

"We know the Demon King's faction is almost certain to win this decisive battle. So, after we take control of the North, I want to transfer the ownership of the Old Capital to someone."

Chapter 300 I Won’t Eat Your Sister

The conference on territorial sovereignty was destined to produce no results soon.

Almost two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and on the other side, the Demon King's capital was discovered.

In the deserted throne room, a figure appeared out of thin air.

It is the flower blooming in the courtyard where Buddha comes to live.

He came very early today, compared to yesterday when he came after dinner, so it was only ten o'clock in the morning.

But there is a reason for this.

Ultimately, it was all caused by a certain black cat. Before 9:30 in the morning, it couldn't wait to rush into the room, shouting that the novice protection period was only one night and it was already the second day, so it wanted to join in, blah blah.

At that time, Hanakaiin Fukui had just finished "taking care" of Akeno and Asia who had just woken up. Seeing that Kuroka was in a state of mind and knew that everyone would get up soon to start another long round of battle, which might last from morning to night, he decisively helped Asia and Akeno wipe themselves clean, put on his clothes, said he would talk to them when he came back, and then ran away.

Working from morning to night... If it was a normal day with nothing to do, it would be no problem, but he had an appointment with someone today. If things got out of control and continued until the evening, causing him to miss the appointment, that would not be good.

Heige is really getting more and more noisy now. I need to give him a good "education" after this matter is over...

This thought had just arisen in Huakaiyuan Fogui's mind when a familiar voice of a girl suddenly came from the side of the originally empty hall.

"Ah~ As expected, my feeling was right. I was wondering who it was. I originally thought it was Leo-chan who came back, but I didn't expect it to be Fogui-kun who got there first."

Ok?

Huakaiyuan Fogui came to his senses and turned around. As expected, the person who appeared at the entrance of the corridor on the side of the hall was Liara, whom he had just met and talked about yesterday.

There was no major change in her from yesterday. She was still wearing the same flawless white dress that wrapped around her voluptuous figure, and her long, delicate, satin-like light golden hair fell behind her. She looked as holy as a god.

However, Huakaiyuan Fogui's attention is not here now.

"Leohart? Isn't he here now?"

"Well, you could say that~"

Liara's voice was still soft, and she tilted her head and smiled.

"Leo-chan is not in the royal city right now. He went to the Cardinal Court early this morning regarding the matter concerning Buddha Gui-kun."

"The College of Cardinals...?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui felt that the name sounded familiar for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he seemed to have heard of it.

It was the name of the one who delivered the letter yesterday... Never mind, I can't remember at all. Anyway, it was the unicorn spirit who dressed very gay, and seemed to be from the Cardinal Court.

"So when will he be back?"

The flowers bloomed in the courtyard and Buddha asked again.

Liara nodded and thought for a moment.

"Hmm~ Leo-chan has been out for almost two hours. If nothing goes wrong, he should be back soon. He should be able to make it back before dinner."

Come back before dinner...

Huakaiyuan Fogui thought about it for a while. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning, which meant he would be back in an hour at most.

It’s not too slow.

Snapped.

Liara, who came skipping towards the boy, suddenly clapped her hands together, and a light bulb suddenly lit up on her head.

"In that case, I'll be the one to entertain Fogui-kun until Leo-chan comes back. It just so happens that I just let Fogui-kun try one of my best scented teas yesterday, so let's try a different flavor today~"

"..."

It is not impossible.

So five minutes later, Huakaiyuan Fogui once again came to the depths of the garden in the royal city.

Just like yesterday, he and Liara sat face to face, separated by a table that was filled with mist and the fragrance of flowers.

Huakaiyuan Fogui picked up the teacup first.

"So, Liara, you're saying that Leohart went to the Cardinal Court this morning regarding my matter? Isn't he a Demon King? Does a Demon King also need such a complicated process?"

It is indeed quite strange when you think about it. In the demon world, strength has always been respected, especially in a desolate place like the North, which is even more divided by warlords. The only thing that can determine the weight of one's words is strength.

Logically speaking, since Leohart thinks it's okay, then it can be done with just a word from him, right?

"Well, that's not entirely true."

Liara also took a sip and shook her head.

"The Cardinal Council... how should I put it? It's a bit like a parliament. Besides, the Demon King's power in the North isn't unlimited. Especially since Leo-chan is only the leader of the current Demon King faction and hasn't truly controlled the entire North. So the support of the Cardinal Council is still very important. Things like territorial transfers always have to be discussed. Although... I think there shouldn't be any problems."

"You sound very unconfident."

Huakaiyuan Fogui raised his eyebrows.

"And as a Demon King, he has to be constrained by the council below. This is too shameful. Is the power of the Cardinals really that strong?"

"To say that it's very strong... isn't it."

Although Liara still maintained a smile, a hint of disdain appeared in her tone when she mentioned the Cardinal Court.

"To put it bluntly, it's just a bunch of veteran guys who banded together to avoid being completely forgotten. They're just making a big noise and trying to make their presence felt every day."

"Then why not just shovel it away..."

Huakaiyuan Fogui complained without thinking, holding his forehead.

! !

As he blurted out these words, Liara, who had squinted her eyes and tried to hide her emotions a second ago, suddenly brightened up, and a trace of undisguised joy from the heart flashed in her eyes, as if she had found someone who shared the same interests.

"Huh? So, Fogui-kun also thinks so? Does that mean Fogui-kun is also a ruler in the human world?"

"No, I'm not..."

Huakaiyuan Fogui shrugged calmly.

"I'm a lazy person. Forget about me managing an entire organization or even a country. Honestly, when I was in kindergarten, I didn't even want to be a group leader. It was too much trouble."

"Oh~ So, Fogui-kun is one of those people who is very Buddhist but also very powerful, right?"

Liara nodded and thought seriously again.

"I remember there was a term used to describe this kind of person. I think it was called... the Sweeping Monk?"

“…?? I’m not a monk.”

Huakaiyuan Fogui curled the corners of his mouth.

But Liara seemed to be interested in him all of a sudden, and was about to ask more questions when a figure flashed from outside, bypassing the layers of screen-like flower beds and appeared beside the two of them, with a hint of haste in his voice.

"Sister, you are here...uh, sister, you are here."

The visitor was naturally Leohart who had just returned from outside. When he came to the depths of the garden and saw his elder sister sitting at the table drinking tea, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, he also saw the young man sitting opposite his elder sister on the other side of the table.

"..."

The momentary silence explained everything. The next second, Leohart reacted and almost couldn't help but draw out Loki's greatsword.

"You, you, you...when did you come here? Stay away from my sister!"

Ok?

Looking at the young demon king in front of him who was completely in a state of stress breathing, Huakaiyuan Fogui shook his head leisurely.

He put down the teacup in his hand, and with a light tap of his index finger, another identical stone bench appeared out of thin air beside the table, and at the same time, there was one more teacup on the table.

"Why are you so nervous about me? I'm not going to eat your sister. Anyway, why don't you sit down and talk slowly?"

"How's the talk with the Cardinals going?"

Chapter 301 I think you are more lovesick than the red beans in Wang Wei’s poem

"So what was the outcome of the discussion at the Cardinals' Court?"

Deep in the garden, Leohart had just sat down when Liara beside him couldn't wait to ask.

"Um……"

However, in response to his sister's question, the young devil, who always kept his word, became uncharacteristically hesitant.

He avoided the former's gaze and secretly glanced at the boy next to him. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed helplessly and held his forehead.

"To be precise, it should be considered 'no results'."

"yeah?"

Hearing this answer, not only Hanakaiin Fogui, but even Liara was slightly stunned.

What does no result mean?

Isn't it just a matter of discussing the ownership of the old capital with the Cardinals? If the Cardinals support it, then they will support it. If not... they also have ways to force the Cardinals to support it.

But what the hell is the point of no results?

“…It means exactly what it says.”
