79: As expected of a queen, she is rich and generous!

Sakura Country.

Cabinet, eternal Action Committee.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Noda Masanobu held the report in his hand, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"Demon Lord has come to Moon Shadow Kingdom, and he's in the Royal Capital?!"

Mitsui Takeo gritted his teeth and said,

"Just now, right now!"

"He's holding Princess Isolde, slaughtering people at the gates of the Royal Capital, the scene is practically a river of blood, all players were instantly killed with one move, even Archmages Azrael was no match for him!"

Huh? This...

Noda Masanobu truly couldn't believe it.

Holding a princess, slaughtering people.

Are these... words that can appear together?

What kind of monster is that?

But...

"If it's true, then it should be a good thing for us, right?"

Noda Masanobu narrowed his eyes and said.

"Demon Lord is too arrogant. Even if he has the strength, he shouldn't be acting in our country, should he?"

"Doesn't he know that after crossing the border, the binding of the resurrection point will become invalid?"

"As long as we kill him once, we can completely reset his level in the Royal Capital..."

"No!"

"We should imprison him in the Magic Association's dungeon, so he can never get out!"

Mitsui Takeo nodded heavily.

"Yes, I thought so too."

"And I suspect that Demon Lord's sudden appearance with the princess is likely related to the world's main quest, and the key to this quest is very likely within Moon Shadow Kingdom!"

Hahaha!

That's right, that's right, that's right ~

That's how it is!

Noda Masanobu immediately burst into wild laughter.

"National fortune!"

"This is national fortune, Mitsui-kun~!"

"Immediately notify all members of the committee, let's act!!"

......

eternal.

Moon Shadow Royal Capital, Hermes.

"You... why did you kill so many people?"

The maid Ayla looked at the corpses all over the ground, scared stiff.

"It's over, even the Archmages is dead. If we offend the Magic Association now, our princess won't be able to save you~!"

Although Isolde didn't care, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and awkwardly said, "Yes, yes, the Magic Association is very powerful. How about we run away together?"

"I think you just want to run away yourself, don't you?"

Lin Ye replied with a smile.

"What's wrong with the Royal Palace? You really don't want to go back?"

Mmm mmm mmm ~

Isolde shook her head repeatedly, explaining, "The Royal Palace is very nice, His Majesty is very nice, my elder sister is very nice, and my younger sister is also very cute. Everything there is good, but there's no Knight Brother ~"

Seeing her so worried, Lin Ye couldn't help but tease, "Don't you have prophecies yourself? Just a little peek into fate, see if the future me will abandon you?"

Isolde fell silent upon hearing this, shaking her head slightly, not wanting to answer, only holding Lin Ye tightly without letting go.

"Alright."

Seeing her so serious, Lin Ye didn't intend to waste any more time.

In the distance.

The Archmages seemed to have dropped a necklace, and the other players also dropped some equipment, but they were all trash, without even a luster.

He used Phantom to pick them up.

To be honest.

This ability is truly too convenient.

What clones can do, Phantom can do.

What clones cannot do, Phantom can still do.

Equipment quality increased!

【Ding ~】

【You have obtained the Epic Necklace, Thunderous Words of Wrath.】

He didn't look at the attributes and just threw it into his bag.

Lin Ye directly entered the city.

"Yi Yi, where do I claim the bounty for the wanted poster?"

"Knight Brother, the Magic Association is indeed very powerful. We should go to the Royal Palace first. That way, the Magic Association probably won't dare to act recklessly. As for the bounty reward, you can claim it directly from the Minister of Internal Affairs Iris as well." Isolde suggested.

That works too.

The Crystal Throne traveled through the magical building complex, directly reaching the lake-side plaza in front of the Royal Palace Hall by Star Moon Lake.

The guards in front of the hall saw that it was the princess returning and bowed in unison.

Lin Ye jumped off the throne with the princess in his arms, while the maid Ayla quickly went ahead to announce their arrival.

Upon arriving here.

Isolde was clearly still a bit shy, but she held onto Lin Ye's hand, unwilling to let go.

In front of them.

The Star Moon Palace was not overly luxurious, but it was constructed with star stones, moon stones, and a large number of magical crystals, creating the appearance of a moon palace situated in a sea of stars.

Stepping onto the stone steps.

The starlight scenery drawn on the ground rippled with their footsteps.

Entering the grand hall.

The Queen stood beneath a starry dome, her dark hair like a waterfall, and her royal robe woven from azure moon glow shimmered with an elegant yet cold magical luster.

"Yi Yi, I've warned you about the dangers countless times, not to run around. Why do you always refuse to listen?"

Hmm...

Isolde hesitated for a second before finally letting go of Lin Ye, then quickly ran a few steps forward and hugged the Queen's arm, coaxing, "Mother, the prophecy said there would be no trouble, you see, I'm perfectly fine, and I even found Knight Brother ~"

"So you are Demon Lord, the one Yi Yi has been thinking about and talking about for years?"

The Queen nodded gently, her brows, like a crescent moon, showed no strong emotions, but her eyes, like scattered diamond stars, lingered for a moment longer.

Lin Ye smiled slightly, "Your Majesty overpraises me."

The Queen's gaze shifted, and a hint of coldness appeared in her expression.

"No need to be modest, you are indeed somewhat different."

"At least..."

"No one who comes to the Royal Capital would choose to slaughter commoners first, let alone kill the Archmages of the Magic Association as well."

Haha ~

Lin Ye didn't care at all about her reproving tone, instead, he said righteously:

"My mission is only one, and that is to safely return the princess."

"Although we arrived at the Royal Capital just now, it wasn't exactly safe."

"After all, the kingdom's guards are very excellent, even the commander of the Blue Moon Legion could betray. Who knows if those who boldly offended and dared to block the princess were also trying to assassinate her?"

Since Lin Ye dared to act, he naturally wasn't afraid.

The Queen saw him so brazenly pointing out the kingdom's flaws, and the expression between her brows actually relaxed.

"Very good, you did very well. It's just killing some people; nothing is more important than Yi Yi's safety."

【Ding ~】

【Moonshadow Queen Shadow Moon Yao's favorability towards you has increased by 3000 points!】

【Ding ~】

【Your favorability in Hermes and Star Moon Palace has increased by 3000 points!】

"Demon Lord, since you know about the Blue Moon Legion's betrayal and have seen the Magic Association's arrogance, this Queen wants to know, can you protect the princess forever?" The Queen's eyes immediately softened a lot.

【Ding ~】

【Do you accept Moonshadow Queen Shadow Moon Yao's designated quest?】

Lin Ye stepped forward without hesitation, and firmly stated, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will protect the princess until eternal!"

"Very good."

A hint of relief appeared in the Queen's eyes, and a bittersweet smile involuntarily curved her lips.

"My daughters are quite a headache, so from now on, I can only trouble you. You have important duties today, so I won't introduce them one by one. You will meet them at tomorrow's family banquet."

What?

Princesses?

Them?

Lin Ye was stunned.

Didn't I only need to protect one Yi Yi?

Wait...

How many daughters do you actually have?

Your Majesty, please don't joke around!

Just Yi Yi's death curse alone is already giving me a headache...

Lin Ye was about to ask.

However, Her Majesty the Queen had already begun to issue a decree.

"Effective immediately, Demon Lord is appointed as Chief Advisor of the Privy Council, temporarily acting as Grand Councillor, granted the title of 'Star-Shining Marquis,' given a three-thousand-mile fief in 'Herkenshin,' and granted free access to the Star Moon Palace without reporting, unrestricted by magic arrays."
