Cersei's magic carriage stopped outside the Crystal Palace. She received an invitation from Josiah three days ago to come to the Crystal Palace to participate in the World Cultural Exhibition.
"How is it? Is there anything wrong? "
Cersei sat in the back seat of the magic carriage. She did not wear a human dress or a long skirt today. She still wore the common dress of the Demon Realm's watchers.
Judging from the invitation, Josiah invited Cersei to this exhibition to "play", not to attend some diplomatic conference.
"Your Highness, it's just a celebratory ball. You don't have to care so much, right?"
Pester, a young girl from the Blood Clan, served as the driver today. She looked at the scenery in the Crystal Palace through the window. It looked like a carnival for game enthusiasts.
"Today, Josiah seems to be going on stage to announce something and receive some awards," said Cersei.
"Your Highness Josiah … What's the need to be nervous about receiving the awards?"
Pester hesitated for a while before speaking about Cersei's current state. In the capital of the Demon Realm, this ruthless hunter relied on her own strength to revitalize the internal and diplomatic affairs of the Demon Realm.
There was no reason to feel nervous just because of participating in a ball.
"If Father was still alive, I wonder what he would think of Josiah's current growth."
Cersei looked at the Crystal Palace in the distance. This was the most magnificent building in Noland. Josiah's current status in Noland was enough to hold his own exhibition in the Crystal Palace.
"This … His Majesty …" Pester did not know how to answer Cersei.
"After Father passed away, as the eldest sister, I have to take on some responsibilities of this family."
Cersei opened the door of the magic carriage and walked out.
"Family responsibilities?" Pester listened to Cersei's words and felt that she seemed to have made up her mind.
"You sound like you want to take on the responsibilities of a mother?"
A voice sounded from the front passenger seat of the magic carriage. The Prophet opened the door and jumped out of the magic carriage. She also participated in this exhibition as a representative of the Demon Realm.
"Mother?" Cersei heard the Prophet's speculation and was stunned for a moment. Then she immediately shook her head. "Just as a family."
"The kinship between you and His Highness Josiah is indeed an important weapon and advantage in the fight for the throne. This is also something that His Highness Noggs doesn't have."
The Prophet objectively evaluated the relationship between Cersei and Josiah.
"Weapon …"
Cersei did not feel angry because of the prophet's ruthless words. During the time Josiah left the Demon Realm, Cersei had been worried about Josiah's condition.
"Your … Your Highness!"
Pester didn't understand what the Prophet and Cersei were talking about, but the moment she followed Cersei into the Crystal Palace, she saw Cersei's greatest enemy at this stage.
That was her brother, Nogus.
"Nogus? Why is he here? "
Cersei looked in the direction Pester was pointing and saw Knowles in the crowd.
She was familiar with her brother's personality. Even now, he still had a huge objection to the existence of humans.
Josh wanted to invite him to this exhibition, but unless he was tied to the exhibition, there was no way he would participate in an exhibition that was filled with humans.
But not only did he come to participate, Josiah was standing beside him and saying something, smiling from time to time.
"Their relationship seems to be good. I think this is disadvantageous to you." The Prophet lowered his voice and reminded Cersei.
Nogus, who was talking to Josiah, also noticed Cersei's gaze. Coincidentally, Cersei was still standing at the entrance of the Crystal Palace.
So, he stopped talking with Josiah and slowly walked in front of Josiah.
"Brother, long time no see." When Cersei saw Nogus, she did not forget her identity as a sister.
"Cersei, remember … I don't intend to hand over the position of the ruler of the Demon Realm to you."
After leaving this sentence, Nogus brushed past Cersei and walked towards the other side of the Crystal Palace.
"Don't intend to give up the throne?"
Josiah looked at Nogus' back as he left, then looked at his elder sister.
"Also, Brother, you came to find me just to … get rid of a troublesome enemy." Josiah also told her the purpose of coming here.
"I was actually comforted by you. Don't mind Josiah … Although Father's last wish was for us to fight for the throne, these two years, you have made me understand that there is no need to be so attached to the throne." Cersei used this method to comfort Josiah.
But Josiah's face showed a shocked expression.
"What? You don't intend to inherit the throne? " When Josiah said this, he looked around and saw that Nogus had already walked far away. Then, he leaned towards Cersei. "Please! Elder sister … With Brother's personality, I'm afraid that his internal affairs are not negative. If he becomes the ruler of the Demon Realm, there is an 80% to 90% chance that something will happen. You have enough prestige in the capital, you just lack the title of defeating Brother. "
When Josiah said this, light music suddenly echoed in the Crystal Palace.
"Oh … The game conference is about to begin. Elder sister, I don't have time to bring you around this exhibition." Josiah took out three admission tickets from his pocket and handed them to Cersei. "We'll talk about it after the conference ends!"
"…"
Cersei originally wanted to call out to Josiah, but when she saw his figure disappear into the crowd, she did not say anything.
"I've read a human book that describes family relationships. The children's affection towards their parents changes in a curve, from high to low and then back to high … His Highness Josiah's age is at the lowest point of the curve."
The Prophet ruthlessly told Cersei how difficult it was to play a role similar to that of a mother.
Cersei did not answer the Prophet. She walked towards the venue of the game conference without saying a word. This was a room built inside the Crystal Palace and was similar to a theater.
At the entrance, there were attendants handing out admission tickets. On it was written where everyone could sit.
There was already a long queue here. Fortunately, Josiah had already handed the admission tickets to Cersei.
Cersei directly brought the Prophet and Pester into the theater inside the Crystal Palace.
The seats written on the admission tickets were in the front row of the entire venue. Cersei found her seat and just as Pester was about to happily sit next to the second princess, a figure took her seat first.
"You … Sorry, Your Highness Nogus."
When she saw that it was Nogus sitting next to Cersei, she immediately chose to retreat to the side.
