Chapter 564 Hyperion's Waiting
One week later.
It is a dark night in midsummer, and July is not yet young.
In the vast territory of the Demon Realm, Nekalis is the capital of the Demon King's City.
The city is close to the inland strait and is surrounded by winding rocky mountains, like a natural fortress.
On the central land of the city, "Naika Island", stands a huge palace made of obsidian and dark blue magic crystal rock. The spiers of the palace reach into the sky and are close to the bay.
Opposite is the "Isle of Leith" in the outer circle, which is also an extremely prosperous area.
The streets in the entire city of Nekalis are intricate and maze-like, with narrow alleys and squares appearing alternately. On these streets, you can see all kinds of demonic creatures, some tall and mighty, some cunning and thin, and many other extraordinary creatures. Demons in human form, they trade, talk, or kill, and then they are arrested by the law enforcers of the demon world.
At this moment, in the Demon Realm Palace, the main hall on the first floor is a huge circular regency hall, with a majestic black throne in the center, and a flaming halo surrounding the throne.
This upstairs is the exclusive area for the royal family, including study rooms, bedrooms, conference rooms and many other configurations that a mansion should have.
The Pukeli family is considered a famous family in the demon world. As a descendant of the ancient great demon clan Duke Pukeli... although the first generation ancestor is actually her great-grandfather's brother.
Hubery sat quietly on the cushion next to the large window. Outside the window was the palace garden and the enchantment in the distance.
And she has only one job, and that is to ensure that the princess does not become depressed.
Maybe the Princess is afraid that the princess will be bored alone in the palace. Whenever the princess has any request that does not violate the principles of the Princess, the Princess will try her best to help the princess complete the specific chores and leave the specific chores to her, Lissandra.
Her gaze seemed to penetrate the translucent barrier, overlooking the inland bay of the royal capital.
If it doesn't work out, the Falling Lord will replace her.
Hyperion put down the book and said to the demon named Lissandra.
Fortunately, Lissandra successfully graduated from the harsh Demon World School, and her ancestors had some friendship with the Fallen Lord. After graduation, she was arranged to work in the Demon King's City.
It may even be possible to get rid of it.
“No, no, then you should stay with me.”
So every time Lysandra brought something to the princess, she also had a little time to communicate with the princess.
In a spacious bedroom on the second floor, the purple sunset shines through the gauze curtains on the soft carpet.
The princess is surprisingly a demon with a very gentle personality.
Except for the fallen minister Kaliela and the demons she allowed, the other demons are not allowed to enter the higher floors of the palace.
"It's not time yet, so I can't leave early. If it disturbs His Highness, I can wait outside the door."
Her full name is Lisandra Pukeli, and her ancestors were orthodox great demons, but they fell into decline in her generation.
Hyperion looked at Lysandra, who was standing like a servant, and thought for a moment, then patted a large empty cushion next to her and motioned for her to sit next to her.
“Okay, Your Highness.”
Lissandra nodded, followed the order and walked over, sitting in a seat not far or near from Hyperion.
Not far away from Hyperion, a demon girl wearing the attire of a demon court official was talking to her softly.
…Lysandra, you can get off work.”
There is no airs that a princess should have at all.
Perhaps it's because she has half-human blood and has lived in a human country for a period of time.
“Thank you, Lisandra. Without the books you brought me, I would have had a hard time these days.”
Hyperion spent most of her time reading the magic books in the palace.
The number of demons she could come into contact with in the palace was very limited, and Fallen Kaliela protected her exceptionally well.
“It's work for me…”
Lissandra said helplessly.
Everything is arranged by Mr. Luo.
She was sent here partly because she understood aristocratic etiquette, and partly because she had a weak personality and was weak herself, so she would not put pressure on the princess. Of course, it may also be because she studied in the art department and got the highest score in the art appreciation course, so Luo Qing thought she might have something to talk about with the princess.
In fact, after Lysandra spent so many days with the princess, she felt that the princess had no great interest in painting at all.
Every time she took the initiative to find a topic related to art, she couldn't chat with the princess. The princess ended with a few words, and then looked out the window again.
At this time, Lissandra felt that the princess was very pitiful.
I envy her high status.
She envied her freedom.
She doesn't seem to be as strong as the big demons imagined, she is just stubborn and pretending.
“I brought these snacks in from outside.”
Lissandra thought for a while, then took out a box of Demonic Pear Caramel pastries sealed with a magic device from her bag and handed it to Hyperion.
After opening the lid, you only see a piece of cake with sweet pear-flavored ice cream as the main body, paired with crispy vanilla shortbread and Necalis dark chocolate chips. The sour taste of snow pear is intertwined with the sweetness of caramel, and the shortbread and chocolate chips further enhance the flavor. Adds layers.
The pear caramel ice cream was well received in the Demon King's City, so she bought one and brought it into the palace.
Has passed the test of palace magic and will not poison the princess.
If the princess is poisoned, she will also lose her head.
Hyperion took the black box in a daze, looked at the ice cream inside, scooped up a small piece with a spoon and put it into her mouth, and did not move again for a long time.
“Isn't it delicious?”
Lysandra asked.
Hyperion shook her head.
Looking at such a unique delicacy from the devil world, she wanted to share it with Tata.
Eating alone, the more delicious it is, the less delicious it is as expected.
“Did you remember someone?”
Lissandra probably understood Hyperion's expression. She could understand this obvious emotion.
“A demon who is like a mother and a sister to me.”
Hyperion put down the small black box in her hand and replied.
“She...isn't here anymore?”
Lissandra asked worriedly.
“She's still there, she's still there!”
Hyperion came back to her senses and clarified.
Although Tata's role is very small, Hyperion always feels that she is everywhere, especially in Lanci's heart.
“Sorry sorry!”
Lissandra nodded quickly and apologized.
There was silence between the two demon girls for a short while.
Hyperion thought for a while, but continued to taste the sweets that Lysandra had specially brought for her.
“Lissandra, are there any new big demons who have come to the Demon King City Nekalis recently? If so, please don't blink for two seconds.”
Hyperion put down the little spoon for the time being, moved a little closer to Lysandra, and asked in a low voice.
“…You can't say this kind of thing, Master Kaliela warned me.”
Lissandra lowered her head and muttered.
