Secretary of the Devil's Castle
Page 14
In other words, this demon king is collecting big crimes?
If so, it doesn't seem like there's much to worry about.
The three of them were silent for a while, Tana was too embarrassed to say anything, and the Demon King didn't seem to intend to open the topic, and finally Fatalia spoke first.
Fatalia looked directly at the red spots in the demon king's eye sockets that seemed to be eyes, and asked softly, "What do you need me to do?"
The red dot flickered, as if surprised by Fatalia's speech, "Interesting. You... are very smart and calm."
Then he squatted down and looked straight at Fatalia, "Hello, little guy, my name is Ender, Ender Cairns, what's your name?"
"Fatalia." Fatalia looked at the demon king who claimed to be Ender without fear, and then said calmly, "What's the answer?"
Ender was silent for a while before replying: "...There is nothing you need to do at the moment, Fatalia, you are too young and not strong enough. But it seems that such an answer cannot satisfy you, then, I have Do you want to hear a suggestion?"
"Please say."
"It's really polite. Then, you should also know that you have great potential. I will provide you with three meals a day and snacks, toiletries, clothes, and a place to live. In short, everything you need for a normal life will be provided to you. Knowledge and resources to become stronger, and then when you grow up and become strong enough, how about helping me?"
As he spoke, Ender stretched out his right hand, waiting for Fatalia's answer.
Fatalia couldn't tell whether Ender was lying or not. After thinking for a moment, she held Ender's hand, "Deal."
This surprised Ende a little, "Aren't you afraid that I'll deceive you?"
Fatalia glanced at the surrounding army, and replied calmly: "With your strength, there is no need to deceive me, no matter what I do, I am powerless to resist, and if you really need my strength, then what you say Whether it is a lie or the truth is the same, because as you said, I am too weak and need to grow, so you will provide me with resources to allow me to grow and become stronger. Based on this premise, lies are no different from truth .”
Ender was silent for a while, and then let out a deep laugh, "Hehehehe! You are really smart. It just so happens that I have a lot of idiots with brains full of muscles, but I lack smart people who are well-organized. Talia, you are a succubus, right? And you are a high-ranking succubus. Sure enough, succubus is worthy of being the most intelligent race among demons. Your future... will definitely be very valuable, so come with me. "
After that, Ender stood up, turned and left.
"I'll take you back to Demon King City."
Fatalia froze for a moment, and then planned to follow, but before raising her foot, she stopped again as if remembering something, so she turned her head and waved to Tana who had been silent beside her as a farewell. Then he quickly followed Ender's tall figure.
If I want to live in the Cairns Empire, the so-called Devil City, then it is necessary to have a good relationship with Tana, who can tell at a glance that she has a high status in the empire. After all, I don’t know life in the Devil City. How, would it be better to have someone in a high position take care of you?All in all, earn a little impression points first.
Fatalia tried her best to follow Ender quickly on her short legs, and at the same time, she had a wishful thinking in her heart.
And Ender was also observing Fatalia.
Clever, the blood of a high-level succubus, an abyss species, and one of the great sins...
No matter how you think about it, it's very suitable.
He is also thinking about it.
Regardless of what the two of them were thinking, in short, Fatalia was finally able to leave the Great Wasteland-in fact, she had already left.

Chapter 1 Fatalia Cairns
The Cairns Empire, a powerful empire established on the Demon Island, ruled a vast territory and many races.
It is not as chaotic as the countries established by other demons on Demon Island. It is all glued together by the demon king or a few strongest demons. Instead, it has a ruling system and laws close to the mainland.
These differences make the Cairns Empire easier to maintain and stronger than other countries of the Magic Island, and the empire is also relying on this strength to continuously bring other countries into the rule of the empire.
Of course, these were just a few words that Fatalia heard while on the road, but what actually happened, that would not be known until she actually arrived at the Cairns Empire.
After the army entered the border of the empire, it was led by the local nobles and merged into different regions of the empire. Except for Tana, there were only a few elite soldiers who followed the devil Ender back to the devil city, and Fatali Ya also followed them to witness the majesty of the Demon King City.
How to describe this city?
Let's imagine that a mountain is piled up with black, and then a city is built, so that the mountain is surrounded by a city, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then decorated with lights, so that this black city is not as good as its appearance. It looks so dark, and in some places, it is decorated with white bones and hideous sculptures to make it look more like the city where the devil lives. Finally, a majestic castle is erected on the top of the whole mountain. Adorned with spiers and horns, it is Demon King Castle.
Of course, what is most essential to a city is not its buildings, but its inhabitants.
As the team of the Demon King's Army entered the city, Fatalia's eyes were all over the carriage's carriage looking outward.
Flat streets, hawkers hawking along the street, neat and well-arranged houses, people in a hurry but full of enthusiasm, and children playing.
More importantly, they are not the same race.
She saw the vampires bargaining with the vegetable sellers, arguing over a tomato; she saw a succubus like her holding a sign in his hand, and he was soliciting customers for his shop; she saw a human Leaning shoulders with elves, discussing where to drink tonight.
The harmony among different races is surprisingly harmonious. Although it is the Demon King's City, it is still full of life and hope - this hope makes the undead next to him playing with his skull less scary.
Well, it was still scary, and the people around him consciously avoided him.
Fatalia looked at all this in a daze. She originally thought that the Demon King City would be a darker and cruel place.
"how?"
Ender Keynes spoke with a touch of pride in his tone: "My city, my country."
Fatalia came back to her senses, glanced at the Demon King, and said, "I didn't expect this to happen. Frankly speaking, I thought the so-called Demon King City would be more...more..."
"Chaotic, bloody, and disorderly." Ender calmly followed Fatalia's words, "It may be true that other countries ruled by demons are like this, but my Demon City is different. I will also make the entire Cairns Empire Not the same. I need it to be prosperous, orderly, strong, thriving, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and love this country from the bottom of my heart. Only in this way can its power be used by me to achieve my goals.”
Fatalia asked subconsciously, "What target?"
Ender was silent for a while, then tilted his head, and said as if joking: "Unify the world, and then go to see the stars."
Fatalia's eyes flickered for a moment. She didn't pay attention to the second part of Ender's words. It must have been just a joke. So is unifying the world what he wants?Although she feels that it doesn't matter, she just needs to do her own job well.
So she replied: "If it's just that, then I can help you."
It’s good to work honestly and earn a living. What kind of ambitions my boss has is his business. Fatalia’s positioning of herself is very clear, that is, a wage earner.
After answering, Fatalia once again turned her attention to the street outside, her eyes could not help but reveal a trace of yearning.
What a nice city.
It would be deceptive to ignore her subconscious gaze at the shops selling food.
Because the Demon King City was built on a mountain, the topography of the entire city was inevitably affected. Although the mountain was almost hollowed out during the long-term reconstruction process, the general topography remained unchanged.
The entire Demon King City, with a peak of more than 3000 meters, can be roughly divided into four floors from top to bottom.
The lowest floor, below the ground, is the large prison. As the name suggests, it is the place responsible for dealing with criminals. In order to suppress these criminals, the military camp of Demon King City is also stationed at the junction of the large prison and the residential area.
Then there is the second floor, which accounts for about three-quarters of the height of the entire mountain. It is a residential area, which is the residence of ordinary civilians in Demon King City. There are about 70 permanent residents, divided into settlements of various races. , these gathering places are different but intersect with each other, which is amazing.
Furthermore, it is the third floor where the nobles live. They are strong men who have contributed to the development of the empire. They have made great contributions in various fields, and only those who have made actual achievements are eligible to become nobles.
Finally, there is the castle standing on the top of the mountain, the place where the devil king and his important officials live, and it is also the real body of the devil king city, the material embodiment of the supreme authority of the entire Cairns Empire, and the place Fatalia is going to at this time.
Along the way, except for Fatalia, who is located underground, she did not see the other places, and she was amazed by the appearance of the residential area and the noble area.
In the previous life, even the skin color of the earth can make people beat their brains out. It is unimaginable that all races live in harmony in the Demon King's City.
How are the conflicts between different racial life forms and cultures resolved?
Questions like these piled up in Fatalia's heart, and when she finally reached the gate of the Demon King's City, she finally asked Ender who had gotten off the car: "So many races...how did you let them live?" Together?"
Ender was turning around to help Fatalia get out of the car. He was taken aback when he heard this question, and then replied with a smile: "That is a big project. I have studied the cultures and life forms of various races for a long time. I tried my best to build this city, but it's a pity that it hasn't been able to radiate to my entire empire—one day it will, and you can learn the specifics later. Then it's time to get off the bus, Fatalia."
Seeing that Ender didn't intend to make a long speech here, Fatalia nodded and followed Ender into the castle.
The city gate was wide open, and there were two rows of maids standing in the hall, and beside the gate, a woman wearing a blue butler uniform stood there.
There are many wrinkles on her face, but she can still see the beauty when she was young. She stands upright, dignified, and her face is a little serious. When she saw Ende, she bowed slightly, "Your Majesty the Demon King, welcome back, your castle Nothing important happened—is this lady?"
She noticed Fatalia following Ender.
Ender rubbed Fatalia's head, and said casually: "I'm back, Sewin. Oh, her name is Fatalia, Fatalia Keynes, my adopted daughter."
There was a moment of silence in the arena, and then the voices of Fatalia and Sewin sounded at the same time.
"What?" "Your Majesty the Demon King?!"
Although not very neat.
(The second volume is serialized!)
(This is Chapter 1, naturally there are still ~)
(By the way, asking for various things--)
Chapter 2 The princess came to her room - let's change it
Ender's sudden speech surprised everyone present, and before Sewin could say anything, Fatalia couldn't wait to speak: "What are you talking about?"
She was really a little flustered, after all, the development of the plot was out of her control and completely exceeded her expectations.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"
Ender touched his chin, and then supported Fatalia's thigh with one hand, and gently hugged it. Fatalia was startled immediately, and quickly supported Ender's shoulder to keep his center of gravity so that he would not fall. Going down, she heard the big bone close at hand say: "You are here as my adopted daughter, the princess of the Cairns Empire."
Her breath stopped.
"Your Majesty the Demon King!"
Before Fatalia could react, a voice full of anger came from the side. Sewen frowned, stepped forward and asked Ender: "Your Majesty the Demon King, have you really considered it seriously? Do you really know where this is going to lead?"
Ender shrank his neck when he was yelled at by Sewin who was suddenly angry, then put down Fatalia, and replied: "Of course I have thought about it, the people below always ask me to marry a wife, but that is too troublesome, the born heir It may not necessarily have enough talent, there are too many uncertainties. On the other hand, Fatalia, she is very smart, as one of the great sins, and her blood is also a high-level succubus, so she can fully bear the status of the princess of the empire. "
"This child is a great sin...?"
Sewin glanced at Fatalia in surprise, then shifted his gaze to Ender, brows twitched, "Your Majesty the Demon King, I am not asking... can Miss Fatalia have the same status as the princess of the empire?" By commensurate, I mean have you ever considered what being an imperial princess means to her?"
"What does it mean?" Ender tilted his head, somewhat unable to understand Sewin's meaning, "What can it mean? A noble status?"
Sewin stared, "It's extremely dangerous! Your Majesty the Demon King, have you ever thought about it? The Cairns Empire is the most powerful country on the Demon Island, and is hated by all demons! You are powerful, but Fatalia What about Miss? What can she do when facing the enemies of the empire? I believe that our enemies would not mind assassinating an imperial princess who does not have a strong ability to protect herself! What's more, as an airborne princess , those old aristocrats in the country will definitely target him! Do you think a child you randomly dragged is fit to bear this?"
After a moment of silence, Ender spoke again, with an irresistible majesty in his calm tone, "Well... so you are worried about this. But, Sewin, do you think the empire can't protect a child? Is this child still the noble princess of the empire? As for those old nobles... that would be a better solution. The empire has existed for hundreds of years, and it is just time for a liquidation. It is better to goug out the rotten flesh and blood, so as not to occupy The location of the new meat."
Seeing that Ender didn't seem to be joking, Sewin helplessly supported his forehead and sighed, "Okay, your will -- then do you mean to ask Miss Fatalia?"
Ender said innocently: "I was just talking."
Sewin【/~
Ender turned around and looked down at Fatalia, "Then Fatalia, what is your plan? Are you willing to accept the name of Fatalia Keynes and become my daughter, the princess of the Cairns Empire?"
Fatalia, who was eating melons, was taken aback when she saw that the topic had shifted to herself, then she looked up into Ender's eyes, "Although I really care about you saying it now...I accept it."
Frankly speaking, the development of the situation has indeed completely exceeded Fatalia's expectations. Originally, she thought that she would be sent to a centralized management facility such as an orphanage. He expressed his respect for her, but he did not expect that what was waiting for him was actually the position of princess...
Why does it feel like a third-rate Mary Su novel?
Although she crazily complained about the outrageous degree of this setting in her heart, Fatalia still chose to accept it - there is no harm in this, is it?Even if there are more or less people who will stare at his life, but as a major crime and the princess of the empire, he should have enough protection, right?That being the case, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Therefore, Fatalia chose to accept.
Seeing this, Ender nodded in satisfaction, and then waved to Sewin, "Sewin, you send someone to take Fatalia to wash, and then prepare dinner, prepare more, Fatalia It’s more edible, and I almost ate up all my army rations on the way here.”
"Oh...well, I see, then Miss Fatalia——no, it's time to call Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Sewin took a deep look at Fatalia, then turned to order the maid.
Ender pointed at Sewin at this time, and said to Fatalia: "She is called Sewin Irwin, and she is my housekeeper. In a sense, she may be the real owner of this castle."
Fatalia looked at Sewin half-comprehensively, and saw that she snapped her fingers twice, and then the interior decoration of the entire castle changed rapidly. The originally simple hanging ornaments and carpets were replaced by more magnificent The coverage, lighting and lighting have also been upgraded to a higher level, and the more dangerous decorations that existed in some places have also been replaced, obviously to take care of Fatalia.
"Ugh."
Fatalia was taken aback. This was the first time she truly felt the magic of magic. Even the large magic in the army had never surprised her so much before.
"Silk maids, in terms of housekeeping, no race can be better than them."
Ender explained with a smile, then patted Fatalia's head lightly, motioning her to follow him, "I'll take you to my room to have a look."
"……it is good."
The Demon King’s City is very big, let’s say it’s quite big. Just after entering the gate, the hall is bigger than some large auditoriums that Fatalia had seen in her previous life, and there are two spiral staircases on both sides of the auditorium. It leads to the second floor, and the place between the two stairs on the first floor is a door. According to Ender's introduction, it is the meeting hall, and he usually meets there if there are people who need to be interviewed.
And Fatalia's room was on the third floor, with a soft carpet, she felt a little unreal. After pushing open her door, Fatalia held her breath again.
Not a surprise, but a fright.
Fatalia stared at the twin dead fish eyes and said, "Why are you so fans?"
