The Unemployed Demon Lord

Merlin stopped, turned around and said, "What the hell is taking responsibility? It's as if I've done something rude to you, and it's just a wife in name. I warn you not to play tricks on me. I especially hate troublesome guys..."

"I..." Alice was at a loss for words, bit her lip, and muttered in a low voice with a blushing face, "Aren't we husband and wife in the eyes of others? I'm not feeling well right now... You will be laughed at if you abandon me."

"Heh, I've already been treated as a softie, do you still care about this?" Merlin cocked his mouth, looking like he didn't want to care about Alice's little trouble at all.

"Hmm..." Alice had no choice but to put on a distressed expression towards Merlin, "cough...cough cough! I...I feel that my time is approaching and I'm about to die, cough cough!"

Merlin looked at Alice's death, and was speechless for a moment. There were big beads of sweat on his forehead, and it seemed that he didn't like selling misery.

Alice became anxious in her heart, her face turned paler, her eyes flashed with watery luster, and she said pitifully, "At this time, I only hope...cough...I hope someone can accompany me, even if it is Demons are fine too, I won't be picky...ahem..."

"Tch!" Merlin pouted, turned around and left Alice's room.

"Goo... woo..."

Alice looked at the empty room, and let out a moan from her throat.

With tears in her eyes, she turned over and hugged her pillow for a sense of security, like a stray cat.

She felt that she was weak, pitiful, and helpless, that no one loved her, and she was extremely humble.

Alice thought that Merlin was too cold-blooded, and she didn't miss the old love at all, and she usually said so kindly to him...

"Merlin is a heartless devil, indeed, evil creatures don't have any good things, woo woo woo..."

"Hey, the stinky bitch's map gun is a bit too much..."

Alice was complaining to herself, but she was startled when she heard Merlin's voice again.

Merlin originally planned to leave, but came back halfway, what was he thinking?

Alice's eyes widened, she turned around, and asked angrily, "Why are you back again?"

"I think I don't seem to have anything to do, so I'll show my kindness and come over to take care of you~" Merlin said lightly.

"You... Didn't you say you don't want to take care of me? Are you relenting?" Alice narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously.

"Don't get me wrong..." Merlin interrupted Alice's delusion, and said solemnly, "I just want to continue bullying you after you get better. After all, I don't think life is fun if I don't bully you~"

Alice stared at Merlin, her face slowly turning red from anger, feeling that the demon treated her like a pet.

"I don't need your care!"

"Oh? That's a good relationship. I'm going to drink with Hobbs." Merlin said and was about to leave.

"Hey hey!" Alice hurriedly stopped him, "I... I didn't mean that, just... Even if you insist on taking care of me, I can barely accept it!"

Merlin's face turned dark, and he didn't speak, thinking to himself, why does this troublesome guy always speak so badly? !

Alice pulled up the quilt, covered half of her hot face, and murmured

"Seeing that you are so active in taking care of me, I can't help but say thank you, hehe~!"

The dilapidated imperial capital.

The flood has receded along the underground river, revealing a dilapidated scene.

The buildings were soaked and rotting, and the ground was as muddy as a river bed.

After returning, many residents of the imperial capital showed confusion about the future.

As if the empire is in a period of rebellion, it is temporarily impossible to rebuild the imperial capital.

Moreover, the huge gully in the center makes many people who want to rebuild feel powerless.

Although Isabella pretended to be the queen and ruled the empire for several years, it has been completely exposed.

But Elizabeth's crisis has not really been lifted, and she is still in a dangerous state.

The Ofrey family in the north is like a wolf and a tiger, frantically marching straight into the imperial capital, and their attempt to establish a new rule is very obvious.

The Rose Duke kept urging his subordinates to find the whereabouts of the false queen, but Masefield returned with the real queen Elizabeth himself.

When they first met, there was a lot of gunpowder. Masefield and Elizabeth were surrounded by soldiers and almost had an accident.

Fortunately, Elizabeth finally explained her identity and the ins and outs of many things.

Knowing the truth, Duke Qiangwei sighed inwardly, and settled down the queen well, rested first, and dealt with the crisis of rebellion.

The next day, Morrison and other three knights returned and escorted the false queen Isabella, bringing an end to the turmoil within the royal family.

After Catherine found out, she fell into deep annoyance. She didn't expect that she was the one who was deceived. It was so stupid to fight against Masefield.

However, Elizabeth did not mean to blame Catherine, but accepted her again. After all, when employing people, some mistakes can not be held accountable.

Besides, Catherine was just a victim, deceived by Isabella, completely ignorant of the inside story.

It seems that the civil strife in the royal family has been settled, but a bigger threat has come one after another, threatening Elizabeth.

The fighting power of the Offrey family's army was invincible, and the nobles and private troops from all walks of life were helpless, and they marched southward to the imperial capital.

According to preliminary estimates, it may only take a week to reach the territory of the imperial capital.

Now that the Kingdom's army has suffered a disastrous defeat, the private armies of various lords have also fled.

Four of the twelve Thorn Knights died, and five were around, and the rest were outside and could not come back immediately.

The most powerful lake goblin seemed to be injured by Merlin, and fell into a hundred-year long sleep, making it difficult to use.

Although the big water demon was just a substitute for the goblin in the lake, not the real body, and it didn't use all its strength.

But Merlin's knife was a bit too cruel, and it still hurt the spirit of the fairy in the lake.

From this point of view, the cards that Elizabeth can use to defend against the Ofrey family are very few, and the situation is not optimistic.

Due to the destruction of the royal palace, Elizabeth set up a residence in the royal capital as a temporary palace to handle affairs

At this time, in a certain room, Isabella was sitting on a chair, looking at the mirror in front of her.

Her complexion was very poor, her appearance was haggard, and she had long since lost her former vigor.

Isabella has given up her mind, and now she seems to be free, but she is actually under house arrest by Elizabeth, and she will be monitored for everything she does.

Elizabeth stood behind her sister, wearing a golden crown on her head, regaining her own rights, "Sister, have you ever thought about today? The reason why you can't be queen is because you are too arbitrary and easy to lose. Reasonable, the king's choice is not wrong!"

"Damn it!" Isabella picked up the makeup box and smashed the mirror in front of her. There was a fierce light in her eyes, and a vicious grin appeared on her face.

"Elizabeth, I curse you!"

"You will be trampled to death by the cavalry of the Offrey family!"

Chapter 3: Monthly Ticket Addition

Isabella was trembling with anger, and the disheveled hair made people feel a little regretful.

"Is that what you expected?" Elizabeth asked calmly.

"Yes, I want you to die now! I really regret that I was soft-hearted and didn't kill you! Ever since I was a child, you are the most hated person!" Isabella didn't look back, but looked behind her through the mirror Elizabeth.

Elizabeth could imagine Isabella's madness and understood her attitude.

It stands to reason that Isabella is the first heir to the throne, but in the end Elizabeth became the queen.

Isabella was extremely dissatisfied with this, all her efforts were in vain, how could she not hate it?

"No matter what you say, you are not suitable to be the queen of the empire. The father knew your character, so he didn't choose you. Everything was arranged." Elizabeth felt that the father chose her right.

"I'm almost successful, and I'm the great swordsman of Elgin..." Isabella's eyes widened blankly, bloodshot inside, "That's right! It's all because of this mysterious bastard! If it wasn't for him to fight against me everywhere , I’m still the ruler of the empire! No one can disobey me! It’s not because of my wrong countermeasures, but because of Elgin’s great swordsman! It’s all his fault! If this guy died earlier, how could I You might be imprisoned here!"

Elizabeth took a deep breath, faintly feeling that her sister was going crazy.

She had already heard quite a few things about Elgin the Great Swordsman from Masefield.

I have a certain understanding of this mysterious man.

Recalling Merlin's appearance, Elizabeth's heart was a little moved, and it was difficult to calm down.

No one would have thought that a huge empire was almost collapsed by a black iron adventurer!

What Elizabeth needs to deal with for the time being is the matter of the Offrey family and the great swordsman Elgin, so it can only be put on the back burner.

But Elizabeth already knew who Elgin the Great Swordsman was?It is understood that Meilin will not be able to escape in a short time.

I need to find a way to get the stockings back, and it is always in the hands of a perverted man, I feel so embarrassed to death.

In addition, after Elizabeth heard about Elgin's great swordsman's strength, she became even more afraid of Merlin, and could not act rashly against this man.

If possible, Elizabeth wants peace talks, try not to continue to cause bloodshed, and can coexist without interfering with each other, perhaps the best choice.

Elizabeth had a brief contact with Merlin, who was Elgin's great swordsman. Although he felt that this man was weird and a bit perverted, he didn't look like a vicious person.

At least Elizabeth felt that she was different from her sister, so she could sit down and have a good talk with Merlin.

And Elizabeth felt that she had some advantages, knowing the true identity of Elgin Great Swordsman.

The other party has been acting secretly, there must be his own reasons, a little use, maybe it can resolve the grievances.

Elizabeth looked at her sister who was scratching her hair and falling into madness, and could only sigh deeply.

"Sister, you still don't know what you did wrong? In order to consolidate your position, can you use any despicable means?"

"Shut up! I don't need you to mock me yet! Since I've become like this, then just kill me!" Isabella gritted her teeth and said bitterly.

"I won't let you die, just like what you did to me back then, but I hope you will reflect on yourself." Elizabeth didn't want Isabella to die, and she couldn't do such things as killing relatives with her hands.

"Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you!" Isabella overturned the dressing table in front of her, making a clattering noise.

"Okay..." Elizabeth turned to leave, and said before leaving

"I will come to see you again, sister..."

◇

After Elizabeth gently closed the door and came out, she sighed deeply.

There are four soldiers guarding the door, and Isabella is not allowed to act without authorization.

Elizabeth's daughter Michelle waited outside the door for a long time. When she saw her mother coming out, she greeted her, "How is it, Queen Mother?"
