Demon Noble Girl ~Story of a Careless Demon~

Chapter 227

“I’m glad you came.”

“Yes, I’m very pleased to have been invited.”

There, waiting for me, was Axel alone, and while he might have the ability to do it on his own, it would be careless for a prince of a country to do so.

“Oh, I left them there because they were bothering me.”

“Heh…”

I thought they would have kept those girls close by, let alone the rest of the guards.

I glanced at Noah, and he nodded slightly, so it looked like he really made them go away.

This restaurant provided what was called international cuisine, but today’s dish seemed to be from Silver Church.

Looks like Cantonese food? I didn’t dislike it, but I didn’t like it either way, and dishes that were neither seasoned with offerings nor soul wouldn’t suit my taste buds, so I took one bite at a time.

“Silver Church’s food doesn’t suit your palate?”

“I’m a picky eater to begin with.”

“No, that’s not good because Yurushia will be the next queen of Silver Church.”

“…Are you serious?”

I never thought I would hear from Axel’s mouth that he wanted to make me the next Queen of Silver Church.

“I’m serious, how does Yurushia see Ester?”

“How…well, I can’t really say anything bad about another country’s Royalty.”

“Well, that’s more than enough for assessment.”

According to Axel, the next Queen would be chosen from among the entire nation, but among the current candidates, the most likely candidate would be the first princess, Ester.

Well, it was not an unrealistic choice. If other nations didn’t know what to do about [Charm], it would be a powerful weapon, and if it caused a problem, disposing of the source would eliminate a major problem.

But in that case, Axel would most likely be the husband of the sister who was not related to him by blood, so there was a high probability that if a problem occurred, he would be disposed of as well.

I wouldn’t want that kind of life, even if I wasn’t Axel.

“How could you possibly respect that Ester as a Queen in the first place?”

“…”

I resist the urge to nod my head. …But.

“Would you be okay with me?”

“You would be great, and I’d be okay with Yurushia’s succession, wouldn’t I?”

“…”

Could this be a serious proposal? That was quite intense.

“Well, I’m not asking you to answer me right away. Why don’t you come to Silver Church for once? The queen seems to be concerned about you.”

“…Heeh.”

What a quirky Queen. I wondered if it was the logical thing to do to get into the enemy territory, but maybe this would get Axel to return to Silver Church peacefully?

“But there is a problem. After what happened yesterday, word of the engagement has gotten out, and the guys in Ester’s faction who wants her to be Queen may go out of control.”

“…You figured it out, didn’t you?”

My eyes narrowed as Axel smirked at me.

“Oh, scary, creepy.”

“…”

Seriously, he was not a masochist, right?

Regardless, it seems that if Ester caused a problem, Axel would cooperate with us so that some degree of punishment would not become a diplomatic issue.

…You would have to pay for trying to seduce the devil.

So, this was the end of the deal. I never intended to be a Queen, but to eliminate the Silver Church quickly and peacefully, some compromises would be necessary.

As I returned to the mansion, devouring the soul-filled seaweed bread Noah had prepared for me in the carriage on the way home, Fell, who was supposed to be with his mother, rushed up to me as if in a panic.

“Yuru-sama, it’s terrible! Vio suddenly gave birth!”

“Eeeeeeh!”
