Cersei returned to the center of the capital. Ever since her brother, Josiah, left the Demon Realm, this place had become a lot more deserted. Only a few unconscious water elementals could be seen occasionally in the corridor.
Now, in addition to the crisis of famine in the capital, Cersei had a headache about the news of her brother in the human world.
Ever since she sent her trusted aide to the human world to look for Josiah, there had been no news for almost half a month.
Cersei was thinking about whether to send another watcher to Noland, but a voice from the depths of the castle's corridor interrupted Cersei's thoughts.
Who … is in the kitchen?
Cersei quickly walked into the depths of the corridor. The only active existences in this area were the water elementals, and the water elementals would not make such strange sounds.
Her first reaction was that there was an intruder in the castle.
Cersei came to the door of the kitchen, put her hand on the longsword at her waist, and then pushed open the kitchen door with her hand.
The intruder obviously did not feel Cersei's arrival and was still rummaging through something in the kitchen.
The longsword at Cersei's waist was already unsheathed. She pushed open the kitchen door and pointed the blade at the figure in the kitchen.
"Fu … Ya?" Cersei saw the figure squatting in the corner of the kitchen and found that it was not someone else, but her sister whom she had not seen for nearly half a year.
The 4th Princess of the Demon Realm, Fuya Yanorod.
"…"
She looked back at Cersei, but because she had a piece of bread in her mouth, she could not answer Cersei.
"You … Why did you … come to the surface at this time?"
Cersei put away her longsword and asked the person in front of her.
"Hungry."
When she had finished the bread, she gave a very brief answer.
"Hungry? Wait … How long have you not slept?! "
Cersei saw the other's face clearly. There were already dark circles under her eyes.
This was inconceivable to Cersei … The 4th Princess had always been known for her laziness in the Demon Realm. Every time she slept, she was like a giant bear hibernating. It was impossible to open her eyes without closing them for a few months.
Judging from her current situation, she had not closed her eyes for at least half a month.
"What have you been doing all this time?"
Cersei was not familiar with her sister. On the one hand, the lack of contact was the reason. On the other hand, the ruler of the Demon Realm forbade the 4th Princess from contacting anyone.
But as the eldest sister, Cersei felt the need to care about her health.
"Play games."
"Play?"
Cersei was slightly taken aback when she heard this answer. There were no means of entertainment in this cold castle. Even in the capital, among the few entertainment methods, the only reliable one was to go to the inn opened by the succubi.
Of course, Cersei was not interested in this at all. After serving as a monitor for so many years, Cersei had almost forgotten that there were words like "entertainment" and "game" in the Demon Realm language.
"Yes."
She nodded and didn't give any more answers. She threw all the leftover food in the kitchen onto a relatively clean carpet, and then found a rope to wrap the carpet up.
From the looks of it, it seemed that she intended to rely on this food to survive on the castle tower for a whole month.
She skillfully wrapped the food in the carpet and prepared to drag it out of the kitchen with a rope.
"Is your body all right?"
Cersei asked abruptly as she brushed past her.
Although chaos demons were not as fragile as humans, Fuya's physical condition was not optimistic.
"I'm fine." She did not stop and continued to drag a large pile of food towards the direction of the stairs leading to the tower.
Cersei stared at her back, ready to run in front of her and stop her.
Although Cersei wasn't familiar with the Fourth Princess, as a watcher, Cersei couldn't bear to watch the Fourth Princess fall into such a decadent state because of the game.
But at this moment, a bat flew in from the window of the corridor. This bat slowly flew in front of Cersei. As scarlet blood covered the bat, when the blood spread, a monitor was already half-kneeling in front of Cersei.
At this moment, the 4th Princess had already disappeared around the corner of the corridor with a large pile of food. Cersei temporarily gave up the idea of chasing after her and turned to look at the vampire kneeling in front of her.
"Pester, where's the 3rd Prince?"
"Still … in Noland," Pester replied in a very low voice. She was already prepared to accept Cersei's punishment.
This time, not only did he not bring back the mission target, he even encountered an accident on his way back. He was delayed for more than ten days before finally returning to the Demon Realm.
"Why?" Cersei was still very calm when she heard this news. "He should know how dangerous Noland is for demons. Even so, he is still willing to stay there?"
"His Highness Josiah indeed encountered danger in Noland … The people of the Kingdom of Saints even carried out an assassination." Pester truthfully reported everything she saw in Noland.
"The Kingdom of Saints … Assassination? You gave him assistance? What about him now … "Cersei's tone at this time finally had a trace of nervousness.
"Your Highness Cersei, I only participated in defeating the Kingdom of Saints. As for the protection … A group of Noland's spellcasters and dwarves took up the responsibility."
Speaking of this, Pester felt a little bitter in her heart. That demon prince of course knew that he would encounter danger in the human city, but the key problem now was that he was not afraid of these dangers at all.
"Human spellcasters and dwarves protected a chaos demon … My brother hired them?"
Cersei heard this news in disbelief. She had been trying to communicate with humans all these years, so she knew how difficult it was to obtain a human ally.
Although cooperation could be established quickly with money, this cooperation was extremely easy to break.
"No, I think they volunteered. His Highness Josiah did not pay any money."
Speaking of this, Pester added in her heart, 'If card bags count as payment.'
"Volunteered?"
This was something that Cersei could not understand at all. Humans and dwarves volunteered to protect a demon? And under the siege of the Kingdom of Saints.
If she was in this situation, it was already fortunate that the spellcasters of Noland did not join the encirclement, let alone provide assistance.
A large number of questions appeared in Cersei's heart, and finally came to a question.
