But having grown up in a human kingdom, she felt extremely scared no matter what, sitting in the position of a demon princess!
She had never seen so many demons in her life.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Hyperion became, not knowing how to deal with these big demons.
Just when Hyperion felt helpless, she finally saw the information emerging from the shadow world——
[Sixteen years ago, after that dinner party, you were chased by the vampires and scattered all over the place. 】
[After escaping from Lichtens Castle, you recovered your true identity as a demon, traveled all the way through the Far North, and returned to the demon world. 】
[Originally, as a half-demon, you are not seen and valued by the demons. 】
[However, due to the desperate battle between the Demon King and the second ancestor of the blood race many years ago, the second ancestor suffered heavy losses, and the Demon King was also fatally injured. 】
[After the Demon King returned to the Demon Realm, he passed away in his ancestral land soon after. There is no new king of Nine Seals in the demon world. Finally, you, with royal bloodline, become the only demon who can open the ancestral land. 】
[Even though you are now a real demon princess, you have never forgotten that he made an appointment with you. As long as you are separated, if he is still alive, he will stand at the highest place and wait for you. 】
[Originally, this was supposed to be a promise that was destined to be unfulfilled, but due to the change in the ending of the previous node, there was a slight deviation. 】
[Sixteen years later, you heard the latest news from the human kingdom and learned that he had transformed into a high-level political figure in the Polante Empire. You were extremely relieved and wanted to go to the human kingdom to find him, but you were stopped by the big demons... …]
[Mission Objective 1: Find the key to defeating the Vampires. 】
[Mission Objective 2: At the end of the Shadow World, increase the human side’s chance of winning against the vampire side to more than 1%. 】
[Mission Objective 3: All challengers must survive until the 45-day time limit ends. 】
【…】
"..."
After reading the background of this story, Hyperion originally thought it was quite romantic, but when she recalled her real experiences in this world, she only felt a bit of a stress reaction.
And she doesn’t understand what this 1% chance of winning is and how to improve it. Currently she can only see [Comprehensive odds: 0.0000%].
Maybe this mission has something to do with Lan Qi.
"Sorry, I won't cause you any more trouble."
After a brief silence that seemed to be in a daze, Hyperion said to the big demon next to her.
"Thank you for your understanding."
The female great demon nodded.
"But there are so many great demon clans, I can't recognize them all, how should I call them..."
Hyperion turned sideways and whispered to the big demon.
"You don't need to care what their names are. At this moment, you just need to know that I am the one who fell."
The female great demon shook her head confidently, her words filled with the tyranny of an absolutely strong person.
Hyperion was stunned for a moment.
Lord Fallen, it should be explained that the name of this great demon is [Falling].
Hyperion was impressed by this title.
The Great Demon Trial [Falling Gentle Land] on the fourth floor of Helrom Prison is the supreme barrier formed by the fallen Kaliela of the ninth-level great demon after his death.
Does this mean that the big demon next to him is the fallen Kaliela?
At this moment, Hyperion gave up all thoughts of escaping from the Demon King's City.
Hyperion still remembers how difficult it was to break free from the falling gentle land.
"Your Highness, I think you don't want to experience my magic anymore, or do you want to just indulge in that dream?"
Kaliela smiled wistfully.
At least in today's demon world, there is no big demon who can break her gentle land. It is nonsense to try to take action with her, let alone a princess who is not even a big demon.
"No, no, no."
Hyperion looked frightened, shrinking her head and shaking her head.
Although she absolutely does not want to be a demon princess.
But now that the matter is over, let’s see what these demons want to do, and don’t think about escaping to find Lan Qi.
Chapter 536 Hyperion’s criteria for choosing a spouse
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. Yeah, letting you choose a son-in-law before that 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 is better for us to forcefully control you. 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 of Kaliela being the maintainer of rules and presiding 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 betrothed 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 the most suitable fiancée 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.
Apart from Kaliera, the big demons present, 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, Kaliera, 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 best, she could only develop 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 mentally encouraged herself.
“This can be dyed.”
Kaliela retorted in a calm voice.
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.
