Can I Quit the Group Now?

Even if most of the nobles are indeed dedicated to serving the empire, there are still a small number of nobles who put the interests of the family above the interests of the empire.

They are domineering in their own territory, even if they come to the palace and talk to other nobles, they are basically considering their own interests.

Don't look at them talking about which girl Lux would like at the banquet, which has nothing to do with interests, but in fact, there are calculations in it.

Now Lux is still alone, and the only ones close to him are Her Majesty and the personal maid Akolia, so they have no way to find a flaw in Lux and gain benefits.

But once Lux is a little nicer to a certain girl, those guys will regard that person as his weakness and use it to break through.

If it's a commoner, then get close, use your own mask to hide the other side, and turn the commoner into villains of the aristocratic class, if it's a noble class, then they can follow the nobleman he likes to climb up.

Those guys are thinking about how to get benefits from Lux all the time.

—The water in the nobleman is too deep.Ordinary people can't grasp it.

But speaking of nobles, Lux thought of the human 'friend' he met a month later.

Being able to make the lord of a city kneel respectfully is enough to prove that she is also a nobleman.And it's not just ordinary nobles.

Lux in the light novel had already seriously guessed her true identity, but he still didn't guess that that woman turned out to be the saint of the only religion of mankind, the Tenjin Sect.

In terms of religious status alone, it is even only under the pope.And he is highly respected by the common people, and his prestige is higher than that of the Pope.

A true high-level human being.If one only looked at her identity, she might think that this person is very powerful, but Lux, who looked at her identity after watching the whole ending, felt that the Tenjin Cult would end sooner or later.

A saintess approached him simply because he was good-looking, and then easily let go of the teachings of the Tenjin sect, followed him to the devil world, and met his mother who had been living in seclusion for two or three years.

The saint went to the devil world regardless of the doctrine in order to meet her future mother-in-law. If he were the pope, she would definitely withdraw her status as a saint.

It's just too superficial.

"Your Highness."

While thinking, Lux left from the hall.He pushed open the wooden door connecting the banquet hall, and was about to find his mother, but the moment he pushed the door and went out, a clear voice came from one side.

On the promenade shrouded in moonlight, a maid in black and white maid outfit was quietly waiting for him.

It's just that the maid in front of me is a little different from ordinary maids.

She has a delicate and beautiful face, as well as a clear and indifferent breath. She feels that she is not so much a maid as a general.

Hearing the sound, Lux, who was like an iceberg at the banquet, suddenly lost his aura, and the coldness became peaceful.

"Thank you, Aqualia."

He said so.The maid in front of her is Akelia, the head of the Guards Corps who was in charge of Her Majesty's safety 16 years ago.

16 years ago, when Lux was born, in order for him to grow up safely, His Majesty the Empress deliberately dismissed her and made her the head maid in the palace to take care of Lux exclusively.

So Akolia is also the only person who can get close to Lux other than Her Majesty the princess.One of his two relatives.

The head maid didn't reply, but just put the cloak in her hand on him.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is ready."

"Well, let's go."

Passing through the long corridor, they came to the deepest part of the palace, the palace called Traclo Palace.

The imperial palace of the empire is like a city, with a very clear regional distribution.For example, the banquet hall where all the nobles around the capital have just gathered to hold banquets; the meeting hall where His Majesty summoned the ministers and talked with the ministers; the apse and palace where the royal family rested.

This Tlaclo Palace, named after the royal family's surname, is a palace dedicated to the royal family's rest.

Without the permission of the royal family, except for the maids who are here every day, no one can come and go at will. Even noble ministers have to wait obediently in front of the main hall.

When Lux arrived, the guards in front of the door pushed the thick door open with extreme respect, allowing the two of them to walk in smoothly.

Even at night, this Western European-style palace is still brightly lit, and the light formed by magic makes it as bright as day.

By the way, since there are only Her Majesty the Empress and Her Highness Lux in the royal family, even the guards guarding here are women.

Stepping over the red carpet, Lux came to the dining room of the palace.Like other aristocrats... no, it should be more luxurious.

Classical luxury, long tables exuding a historical atmosphere, bright and dazzling crystal chandeliers that almost make people squint, and many oil paintings hanging on the walls.

It's just a place to eat, and it all exudes an atmosphere called high-end luxury.

And at the head of the long table, a?girl?Lux was looking at Lux who came in with a smile.

It was a beautiful woman who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. She had jewel-like light green hair, emerald eyes like deep lakes, and her gentle and friendly smile could easily capture the hearts of others.

-Anyone who sees her for the first time will be overwhelmed by her beauty!

Even Lux would show his own smile in front of her.

Although very shallow.

"Mother."

Naturally there is only one person who can wait for Lux here.

The true ruler of the Empire of the Night, Princess Acacia Traclo.

"Lux, come here quickly."

Her Majesty the Queen beckoned lightly, telling her son to come over quickly, Lux came to the seat and sat down, and greeted according to the etiquette.

"Mother, good evening."

"How is it? Did you enjoy this year's banquet?"

"Well, a lot of people were celebrating for me."

Looking at his mother's expectant eyes, Lux nodded affirmatively with ease.

Holding the birthday party was decided by Acacia without telling Lux, because she knew that her son had no friends since childhood, so she held a party for him so that he could make more friends at the birthday party.It's just that she didn't know that her son was not interested in this kind of banquet.

Originally, Lux wanted her not to hold it, but considering the kindness of his mother, he could only accept it, but fortunately, his mother was worried that her presence would make the banquet a bit restrained, so he never attended him banquet.Just wait for him to spend the last time with him after the banquet.

Except for the banquet at his 14th bar mitzvah.

But that time, not to mention the nobles near the capital, even the four great dukes who ruled over the empire came here, and the cards were definitely full.

At the same time, because of the presence of his mother, Lux rarely talked with those nobles kindly... and played a whole scene with those nobles.

Chapter 8? ? ?Why did he suddenly have a fiancée?

"Well, that's fine."

The gem-like emerald eyes are bent into crescent moons, obviously already there? ?Although she is old, she still smiles innocently like a girl.

Acacia, who has the powers of vampire and orc, can freely change her appearance. Let alone a girl, she can play a loli, an old woman, and a mature woman, but I don’t know why she likes this appearance.

Lux asked curiously once before, but after seeing his mother's 'nuclear' smile, he resolutely gave up asking.

From then on, he realized that it was best not to mention the word age in front of his mother.

After briefly talking about the banquet, Lux and Acacia started today's dinner.

Two people, a large table of dishes.

The appetite of the demons is similar to that of the human race, but the orcs are an exception. Every orc can eat very much, and the mother who has the blood of the orcs can naturally eat very well.

And because of their strength, they will eat more than ordinary orcs.

It is also thanks to her being the lord of the empire. If it were someone else, she might not even be able to maintain her livelihood.

While chatting, the two talked about what happened in the empire recently, and Her Majesty's happy laughter could be heard from time to time in this spacious restaurant.

But suddenly, Her Majesty the Empress talked about a topic that Akelia, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look over.

"By the way, Lux, do you have a girl you like?"

Her Majesty the Empress looked at Her Majesty the Prince with deep concern in her emerald eyes.

"Girl? Why did mother suddenly mention this?"

Lux quietly expressed doubts, but Her Majesty responded as if worried about something.

"Of course I care. You're 16 years old, and a child your age is already a father... You should have mentioned this when you were 14, but at that time you were only interested in finding friends Interested, so I didn't mention it. But Lux, now is also the time to think about it."

"There are only two of us in the royal family now, Lux, mother is very concerned."

"..."

Unlike the ruined empires that are also empires, the royal families of the Empire of the Night and the Empire of Darkness have long had only one person, because demons generally have a long lifespan, and as vampires, they are immortal. For them, whether they have descendants It doesn't really matter.

Engagement and marriage at the age of 14 are more the result of marriage, for the benefit of their respective families.

Of course, civilians do this to increase the population and improve the labor force.

After all, the current Demon Race has also learned the method of human planting and is trying to be self-sufficient.A lot of manpower and material resources are needed for this.

However, as I just said, it doesn't make sense whether the royal family gets married or not.

Acacia has been here alone for countless years, and never thought about having a child, and now he suddenly said this...

Lux paused for a moment, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.

"What mother wants to say to me, just say it directly, there is no need for that."

If Acacia really cared about children, it wouldn't take so long for Lux to have a child, and even after having Lux, her heart was given to Lux, and there was no room for a second child.

Therefore, Acacia must have something to say.

However, even after hearing Lux's words, Her Majesty did not panic after being exposed, instead she turned her concern into a little resentment and grievance.

"The mother is just speaking from the perspective of a mother. You see, the children of Yaziz have their own partners. After a while, they will be able to hold grandchildren."

"I didn't care about not having children before, but now that you have grown up, how can mother not worry?"

"So Mother was stimulated by Yaziz, right?"

Yagiz, Eswaldgul Yagiz, like her mother Acacia Traklo, is in charge of the existence of a country, and she is also a rare monster among the demons that can destroy the entire world.

It's just that unlike Acacia, Yaziz adopts an indulgent attitude towards men. Basically, as long as they are attracted to them, they will take them away. This also leads to Yaziz's ruined empire. Empire for royalty.

But again, like the empire of the human race, when there are more members, the royal family will also be divided into factions. Nine princes and princesses fight each other for power...the reason there are nine is because those who fail are killed by them .

But Yaziz did not come forward to stop them, and let them continue to fight, as if he wanted to choose the best heir.

Although it is useless to choose this heir.

Vampires of Yaziz's level have no power to destroy them except for sealing and exile, so the successor can only wait for Yaziz to give way on his own initiative.

If you don't let it, it will be an alien version of "How can there be a 70-year-old prince in the world".
