Arona hadn’t expected that she would end up staying in Her Majesty the Queen’s house for two whole nights.
If she continued to stay there, it would feel a bit too shameless.
After talking with Liana at the café yesterday, she had more or less understood Liana’s predicament, and Liana had also come to understand Arona’s difficulties.
Liana’s family still had a very large house.
Although most of the servants had already resigned, the rooms were still there.
Liana proposed that Arona tutor her in exchange for the right to live in a small room in Liana’s house.
Arona agreed. No matter what, it counted as a job.
As long as it wasn’t charity from others, she could stay with peace of mind.
Arona finally helped Selin tidy up the room, then took her own luggage and left.
When she arrived at the academy gate, Arona spotted Liana squatting in a corner, as well as Sefalin standing at the main entrance.
“Your Majesty the Queen!”
Arona shouted and ran toward Sefalin.
Just before she reached Selin’s side, Liana grabbed Arona.
“Are you out of your mind? Do you know who she is?”
“She’s Her Majesty the Queen. Oh, and also the Chief Minister.”
“Then how dare you rush over so recklessly and shout like that!”
“Why are you suddenly so sensitive today? Her Majesty the Queen is a very nice person.”
Liana made a gesture to Arona, signaling her to come closer, and whispered into her ear, “People like her are the most shrewd. They could confiscate your entire family property and you’d still thank them with tears in your eyes.”
Obviously, Liana was very dissatisfied with the kingdom confiscating most of her family’s assets.
More precisely, her parents were extremely dissatisfied.
Every day they complained about the Demon King and the Chief Minister in her ear.
Under their constant influence, it was impossible for Liana not to feel resentful.
“You don’t know, do you? Those people take money randomly, it’s just—”
Arona hurriedly covered Liana’s mouth and glanced at Sefalin again.
Her expression hadn’t changed. Only then did Arona let out a sigh of relief.
She didn’t want the friend she had just made to be sent to prison by Her Majesty the Queen.
“Don’t always believe information from unreliable sources. Haven’t you noticed that all the people who took your money have disappeared?”
“Seems like… that’s true.”
Liana really was a bit silly.
No wonder she was so easy to deceive.
Selin had been eavesdropping beside them for quite a while.
To be honest, if they weren’t beneficiaries of the bribery chain, Selin wouldn’t seriously pursue responsibility for their careless remarks.
Besides, that child didn’t look very smart.
Seeing her, she immediately squatted silently in the corner, occasionally sneaking glances at her.
This made Sefalin think of Ai’er—both of them seemed to be missing a screw.
“Wife!”
Sefalin suddenly felt someone hug her from behind.
Her soul nearly jumped out from fright, but Astina didn’t react.
It probably wasn’t an attack, and combined with that frivolous form of address—
“Why did you come out?”
Sefalin pushed Dainifen off herself.
A tall figure of one meter seventy, always liking to drape herself over a short person like her.
Wasn’t she afraid of being laughed at if people saw that?
“Hehe, I missed my wife.”
“Don’t think you can muddle through! Otherwise, I won’t return to the palace tonight.”
“Wife is so fierce. There isn’t much work today, so I just wanted to come help my wife.”
What did it mean for the king to always sneak out of the palace?
Sefalin couldn’t stand her anymore.
Couldn’t she behave properly for once?
It was as if Dainifen would die if she didn’t see her for even one second.
“And what is this outfit supposed to be?”
Sefalin had never seen Dainifen wear this before.
A white shirt paired with a black, waist-length skirt, with a ribbon tied at the waist into a bow.
Her black long hair was coiled up, with a hairpin running through it.
“I don’t want to be recognized the moment I step outside.”
These cute-style clothes had nothing in common with the dignified Demon King.
Moreover, there were still very few people who knew what the Demon King actually looked like.
Most people only recognized the Demon King by the distinctive sky-covering wings and demon horns.
The Demon King could freely hide the marks of being the Demon King.
On the streets, the Demon King would not be easily recognized.
Only someone as close as Sefalin could possibly recognize her.
“Then why didn’t you use disguise magic? I recognized you at a glance.”
“If I wanted to secretly follow you, would I come over and greet you? I just want to stroll around with you.”
“I’m not out here to have fun. I’m here to work too. You should hurry back. If those ministers find out, it’ll be total chaos.”
“No.”
“Hurry up! Be good!”
Sefalin’s face turned red.
Vielle was throwing a tantrum again.
Even though she was already the Demon King, she was still so willful.
Today, she absolutely had to be punished properly!
Vielle glanced at Arona and Liana, who were still arguing nearby.
Taking advantage of Sefalin’s moment of inattention, she forced her into a corner against the wall.
“What are you trying to do again? I’m telling you, don’t mess around! There are other people here!”
“I read in a book that when a physically delicate girl gets kabedon’d, her mind seems to go completely blank. You’re thinking about things all day long, wife, so I’ll help you relax a bit……”
“No! Don’t come any closer!”
Vielle kept pressing closer.
Selin tried to step back, but realized there was a wall behind her.
There was nowhere left to retreat.
(Deleted segment)
“So annoying…………… Tonight, I’m definitely not going back!”
“But I clearly saw that wife was enjoying it. And it seems that wife herself also…… hehe, I won’t say anymore.”
Sefalin’s face was as red as an apple.
If she kept talking, Sefalin would definitely explode.
“I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!”
Sefalin’s fists pounded against Vielle.
It didn’t hurt, but Vielle could feel Sefalin’s anger.
This time, it seemed she had really made her precious wife angry.
Liana and Arona had long since stopped arguing, standing there blankly, staring in shock at the two people twisting around in the corner.
Whose subordinate was this, daring to forcibly kiss the queen in public?
