Chapter 536: Hyperion's Mate Selection Criteria

In the Demon King's Palace, whose dome was engraved with celestial patterns, Hyperion looked at the fallen Kaliela with a weak, pitiful and innocent expression, waiting for the ninth-level demon to speak.

Kaliela didn't mind the princess acting stupid.

It's nothing more than explaining it clearly in front of a group of big demons——

"In normal times, I wouldn't force you, but at this moment, war will enter at any time, and the demon clan may face a test or catastrophe. The opening of the ancestral land needs insurance."

Fallen Kaliela looked at Hyperion and said.

Her meaning is also very clear. The princess needs to continue the bloodline for the royal family. Otherwise, if the princess is assassinated or dies, the ancestral land will be closed. If the blood clan really attacks, their demon clan will definitely face a huge disadvantage. .

Hyperion was stunned.

She didn't expect that Kaliera's purpose was this.

"Can you let me think about it for a while?"

Hyperion asked.

"how long?"

Kaliera asked.

"A month and a half."

Hyperion tried to fool him.

As soon as the forty-five days in the Shadow World were up, she ran away and returned to the real world, and the rest of it had nothing to do with her.

"No, the Blood Tribe has actually wanted to test us for a long time. They have proposed the idea of ​​marrying you to the Blood Tribe Marquis as a condition for long-term peace between the Blood Tribe and the Demon Tribe. If we can delay it for another month at most, we have to give the Blood Tribe an answer. Yes, letting you choose a son-in-law before this is also a way to protect you."

Kaliela's slight smile gradually turned into a sneer, and she spoke seriously.

If they agree to the blood clan's request, their demon clan will lose the ability to open their ancestral land. If they refuse, they will no longer be able to maintain their status as a neutral country.

In large-scale wars, only those who end up at the end can reap the benefits. If possible, the demons don't want to end up at the end yet.

"Please stop being willful, Your Highness Princess. Instead of handing you over to the vampires, it's better for us to control you by force. The fact that you are still sitting in this position is the last honor I can give to my old friend."

The cold look on the fallen Kaliela sent shivers down Hyperion's spine.

The old friend Kaliela mentioned was obviously the previous generation of demon kings.

Hyperion finally understood that the reason why she could still maintain her status as a princess was because Kaliela acted as the maintainer of rules and presided over the etiquette of the demon clan.

As a ninth-level demon, Kaliela's patience obviously has its limits.

"...That means I have to make a decision within a month, right?"

Hyperion pursed her lips, feeling that this was a tough start.

But she had heard Antanas and the others say that the fiancée of the demon royal family must at least be a great demon.

"If you are too weak, you have no right to choose. In the demon world, the strong have always chosen the weak. You can only express your preferences as much as possible. I will choose from those who are willing to do so under the premise of justice that convinces all the great demons in the demon world. Find a fiancée who is most suitable for you among the demons.”

Caliera reminded.

At this time, the demons cannot afford internal strife, let alone cause collective dissatisfaction among the big demons.

As the princess's fiancée, you will also gain a lot of power. Regardless of whether they like the princess or not, many big demons may want to become the princess's fiancée or even her controller.

If it were directly decreed, it would not only violate the traditions of the demon world, but also offend a large number of major demon clans, making everyone even more dissatisfied.

Among the big demons present, apart from her, Kaliela, there are other ninth-level big demons in the demon world who have not come over at the border. If an unfair ruling is made in person, it will be difficult for her, Kaliela, to follow the etiquette of the demons. In the name of dealing with other ninth-level demons.

"..."

Hyperion clasped her hands tightly.

She didn't want to be so ridiculous as to marry a demon she didn't know.

She would definitely not be able to escape the Demon King's City by force. At most, she had developed the ability to escape from her teacher, the Snow Witch, but this obviously didn't work against the ninth-level demon Kaliela.

Now I can only think of ways to put on a show and get through this crisis.

"I prefer black hair... You have to help me find a black-haired demon..."

Hyperion pouted and muttered with difficulty, making her request.

Her father Milaya has black hair, so she didn't lie.

She encouraged herself mentally.

"This can be dyed."

Kaliela retorted calmly.

She believes hair color cannot be used as a filter.

"Then...the eye color I prefer..."

Hyperion grabbed the fabric on her skirt and said tentatively.

"This can also be changed using magic."

Kaliela interrupted Hyperian before she could finish her words.

She found the princess's request to be very strange, as if she wanted to be selected into a certain great demon clan.

"My betrothed must be a demon with the attribute of light."

Hyperion's face turned redder and redder, she lowered her head and murmured.

She is a dark demon and is naturally attracted to light demons. This is normal.

"You cannot directly limit race. This may involve racial discrimination, which will affect the cohesion within our demon clan at this juncture. Moreover, there are not many demons who are born with light attributes among the big demon clan today."

Kaliela was already a little impatient and felt that the princess was looking for trouble.

And she had an inexplicable feeling that the princess was at the critical moment of life and death, and she was still speaking harshly.

Finally, exhaling a breath, Caliera warned:

"All you can propose are conditions like 'the most powerful demon' or 'the most knowledgeable demon'. Based on these conditions, we will publicly find the most suitable fiancé for you in the demon world. This way, we can convince the public and the vampires that we did not arrange a fake fiancé for you out of thin air. If you don't choose, you will be considered the strongest demon by default."

"..."

Huprienne was speechless. She felt her throat was particularly dry and her heartbeat was accelerating.

In the solemn and heavy throne room, the air around seemed to be frozen due to tension.

Huprienne sat on the throne, feeling the terrifying atmosphere in the palace.

Not only the dangerous magic of the great demons, but also beside her, the only one who could clearly protect her, Kaliela, stood quietly, her eyes seemed to penetrate all appearances and reach the depths of her soul.

It also made Hyperion clearly feel that Kaliela's patience was becoming less and less.

Just when Kaliela sighed helplessly and was about to give up the idea of ​​respecting the princess,

"Well, I like demons with artistic talent. Is this okay? In a month, you ask the big demons to draw pictures. I will marry whoever draws the best!"

Hyperian was forced into a corner and could only grit her teeth and say this.

Although saying this made her extremely shy.

But this was the only thing she could think of at the moment.

"... This is okay."

Caliera nodded, thinking that the princess's request this time was not so willful.

The top painters in the demon world can also produce very powerful magic props. Their paintings themselves have magical effects. Their status and identity are quite noble. It is reasonable for them to be favored by the royal family.

"I will also accept the nameless big demon."

Hyperian added.

"..."

This surprised Caliera a little.

It seems that the princess has really made up her mind this time.

Kaliela could understand that there were indeed nameless demons hiding in the demon world or the human kingdom. Although they were all very dangerous guys, at this time, they only used the wise in the demon world. If they could lure out the nameless demons and incorporate them into the power of their demon world, it would be a sure win.

"I understand. I will try my best to convey the important matter about the princess's request and select a demon who is the best at painting for you. At that time, the princess must not regret it, otherwise don't blame me for not being able to protect you anymore."

Kaliela saluted and responded.

"No problem."

Hyperion gritted her teeth and agreed.

She was not sure whether she could win the bet on this request she made in a hurry.

She just kept praying in her heart that there would be no demons in the demon world of this era who were better at painting than him, never.
