It was Cheil's first time attending such a diplomatic event as a king.
The high-ranking officials from various countries were unfamiliar with this new king. The first to speak was a noble from Falosi.
"We witnessed your heroic act of saving the Land of Frost, Your Majesty Cheil … So I'd like to take the liberty of making a script out of it."
The noble from Falosi was a dramatist. The documentary "The Chaos of Frost" had caused a huge reaction in Falosi.
There was nothing better than the death and birth of a country. This had also inspired many dramatists in Falosi.
"This isn't something worth praising."
Cheil looked around. There were many ministers from the Land of Frost present. They felt Cheil's gaze and lowered their heads respectfully.
"Everything that happened in the past is a tragedy for my country. I don't want to remember it."
"That's a pity." The dramatist seemed to be full of interest.
This was why the people of Falosi were so difficult to deal with.
"As His Majesty said, I'm sorry, Count Monile. Please don't say these words that will anger him. Otherwise, you will be sentenced to death."
A minister from the Land of Frost intervened in their conversation. The noble from Falosi had no choice but to leave.
Cheil turned to look at the minister standing in front of him. There was no gratitude in his eyes, only coldness.
"Why did you do this? Minister Rissinet. " Cheil stared at the middle-aged man in front of him. He was the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Land of Frost and one of Cheil's most trusted people.
However, after the attack on the tavern a few days ago, Cheil returned to the Land of Frost and used his intelligence to find one of the masterminds behind it.
"Have you found out, Your Majesty? I knew those guys from the stronghold couldn't be trusted. "The minister sighed. He didn't even have the intention to pretend.
"Aren't you going to explain?" Cheil stared at him and asked.
"Explain? What excuse do I have for a kingslayer like you? After all, you are someone who could easily kill your own father. "
The minister raised his voice subconsciously. Cheil noticed that the nobles of the Land of Frost were looking at him.
Some of the attendants who did not look like nobles also focused their attention on her.
It seemed like this minister had already told some secrets to the nobles in the Land of Frost. Some of them didn't want to believe it, but they still held a skeptical attitude.
"That king was disguised as a Nephilic Judge! Don't you know? "
Cheil's expression didn't change. She knew that the battle had begun. In the past, Cheil couldn't eradicate the Old King's Party in the Land of Frost in one go. Now was a good opportunity to deal a heavy blow to them.
"Disguise? I think it's a fake image that you fabricated. After all, the person who handed you those magic-guided machines was a demon, right? "
At that moment, Cheil's pupils contracted slightly. Although she maintained her poker face, the minister still caught the slightest change.
"My knights saw you meeting with that demon in the tavern. It's a dangerous Chaos demon."
The minister took out a photo and waved it in front of Shay's eyes. Then, he handed the photo to an attendant, who took it and showed it to the surrounding nobles of the Frost Kingdom.
Shay did not say a word as he looked at what he had done. He was thinking about how he could salvage the situation.
"Of course, you can think of this as evidence that I fabricated. Everyone here can't possibly trust me. I also hope that it's fake, so …" The minister looked at Cheil and said, "Your Majesty, can you please swear to the Frost Spirit that you didn't borrow the power of the demon? If you make this oath, I'm willing to accept any punishment for offending you."
The Frost Spirit was a very mysterious existence.
It would only recognize females under most circumstances. At the same time, it had to maintain the purity of its heart.
Cheil couldn't determine the standard of "purity", but if she lied to the Frost Spirit, would it still recognize her?
What should I do?
Cheil felt the doubtful gazes from the people around her. For a moment, she really wanted to order the execution of all the traitors.
However, she couldn't give such an order in this situation.
The knight that Cheil met in the Hearthstone Tavern suddenly ran to the minister and whispered for a while.
"Wh … What?" The minister's face instantly revealed a terrified expression.
Cheil didn't need the minister's reminder. She also felt it at this moment.
The aura of the Chaos Demon … was completely different from the lazy feeling that Josiah exuded. The Chaos Demon that appeared in the hall exuded an aura as sharp as a blade.
Cheil raised her head and began to search the hall of the Crystal Palace. Josiah was an exception because Josiah couldn't even make Cheil have any fighting spirit.
However, the Chaos Demon that stepped into the Crystal Palace was a very dangerous existence!
… …
If the history of the Demon Realm was written by Cecily, she would definitely record this day as the most important moment in the history of the Demon Realm.
That was that the demons, who had been spurned by humans for countless years and could only live in the dark side of this world, could finally stand on the highest stage of this world with dignity.
What Cecily wanted was not to be recognized by humans. What she needed was to correct humans' misunderstanding of the demons. This was something that her brother had done in an unimaginable way.
So, as the second princess, Cecily definitely had to show the friendly side of the demons to humans.
Cecily's gaze swept across the hall of the Crystal Palace. The sunlight and air of the human world were very different from the Demon Realm.
What really concerned Cecily was that there were many humans in the Crystal Palace that Cecily felt were troublesome.
This reminded Cecily of what the Dark Elf had said before she got out of the car. "If we kill all those people in the Crystal Palace, the human countries will be in a mess."
"Then the Demon Realm will be destroyed by the allied forces of the humans."
This was Cecily's reply to the Dark Elf.
Although Cecily was prepared for all kinds of diplomacy, it was her first time participating in this kind of gathering between nobles. She could only subconsciously walk towards the crowd, but she didn't know what to do.
"Miss, is this the first time you've come to Noland's Crystal Palace?"
A middle-aged man came in front of Cecily with a glass of wine.
Very weak.
This was Cecily's first impression, but she quickly adjusted her thoughts.
"It's not just the first time I've come to the Crystal Palace, it's also the first time I've visited Noland."
Cecily's face showed a proper smile. This was something she'd practiced when interacting with the Falosi ambassador.
"No wonder I've never seen you in the previous World Expo. Can you tell me which family you're from?"
The middle-aged man asked a question that made Cersei choke on her sobs.
Worry filled Cecily's heart, but this worry was quickly dispelled.
She came here to tell the humans that the demons weren't the cruel race they thought they were.
Just as Cecily was about to puff out her chest and announce that she was the second princess of the demons, the middle-aged man spoke first.
"Wait, let me guess. Only the Tynaga family of the Waterfront Nation has long crimson hair. I know the patriarch of that great family. Miss, are you from the Tynaga family?"
"Unfortunately, you've guessed wrong." Cecily shook her head. She didn't give him a chance to interrupt her, smiling as she replied, "I'm from the Demon World. I'm the second princess of the demon royal family, Cecily Yanorod."
As expected, the moment he heard this, the smile on the middle-aged man's face stiffened.
"Demon! Your Majesty, get away from her! She's a chaos demon! "
Two heavily-armored knights instantly ran out to block the middle-aged man. At the same time, Cecily was blocked by a knight from the Land of Frost on the other side.
The entire hall of the Crystal Palace instantly fell into chaos. In the blink of an eye, Cecily was surrounded by knights and spellcasters from various countries.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it was just a group of fully-armored knights surrounding a young lady in a red dress.
Cecily clenched her hands slightly, and the human knights around her instantly revealed nervous expressions.
So it takes time to completely change? Cecily glanced at the fearful gazes of the people around her, her expression still unchanged.
Suddenly, the deadlock was broken by the sound of a staff hitting the ground!
"Insolent fellows, put down your weapons!"
An old voice echoed in the hall. Cecily looked towards the center of the Crystal Palace, where an old man in a white robe stood with a cane.
But the knights surrounding Cecily didn't move. They didn't listen to the old man's orders, but to their master.
"If you continue to aim your weapons at the guests invited by Noland, then Noland will no longer welcome you insolent fellows."
The old man in a white robe didn't speak loudly, but everyone could hear him.
"That red-haired girl is a chaos demon! She's far more dangerous than you think! "Knight Coulter shouted.
"Dangerous? I think you're just a coward! Even a little girl is afraid. "
Suddenly, three dwarves appeared at the entrance of the Crystal Palace. Knight Coulter wanted to warn them, but the minister of the Land of Frost quickly ran over and stopped him.
"Why aren't you speaking? We built the Crystal Palace! This place isn't just for you humans! "
Frost Axe glared at the knight.
"Mr. Frost Axe, chaos demons are different from you. They have very powerful destructive abilities and can even nullify magic …"
The minister of the Land of Frost was about to say something, but his voice was drowned out by the king of the Iron Nation.
"Gentlemen, put down your swords." The king of the Iron Nation signaled the knight protecting him to put down his weapon. "White Robe, I'm sorry for my subordinate's reckless behavior, but I don't deny the danger of chaos demons."
After saying this, the king of the Iron Nation turned around and walked towards the center of the Crystal Palace, no longer interfering with what was happening here.
The surrounding knights also temporarily released their encirclement on Cersei under their master's orders.
"Seems like it's harder than you expected, Your Highness Cecily."
A crow landed on Cersei's shoulder and whispered into her ear.
Unsurprisingly, most of the human nobles in the Crystal Palace were wary of Cecily, subconsciously distancing themselves from the second princess of the Demon Realm.
