102 The day after tomorrow

All those who frequented the palace knew that the queen had a lover.

The ministers had seen him at the Queen's coronation, and he did have a beauty that ordinary people did not have. On the day of her coronation, the queen also said that she would let him be her husband. But after that day, the man disappeared from public view, and no one knew where he had gone. The queen said nothing about marriage or anything like that, and no one dared to ask her what had happened.

The ladies in the palace knew more about the situation than the others. When they pass by the entrance of Her Majesty's bedchamber at night, they hear the sound of Her Majesty and the man together. Her Majesty's voice was so coquettish that the maids listened to it and slipped away quietly. Rumors about the queen and her lover spread all over the streets and became a special topic of conversation. But no one knows exactly what is going on, and all romantic stories are just speculation.

Although the queen has such a small flaw, her wisdom is also well known. Since she ascended to the position of queen, she has been conscientious, handling all kinds of things in an orderly manner, no one can find fault with her, she is strict and precise like a robot, these rumors about the queen's private life seem to make her seem more like an ordinary human being, and add a little more affection.

But beyond her private life, the queen still has some secrets.

Ever since Her Majesty ascended the throne, there have been some fantastic caravans on the market. After the gate of the Demon World was closed, the goods of the Demon World were once speculated at sky-high prices in the black market. However, these wonderful caravans carried a large number of Demon Realm goods, and the price of their goods was not high at all, even ordinary civilians could afford to buy them, not only that, but they also brought a lot of fresh ingredients that were impossible to find in the black market, and rare game from the Demon Realm was very popular everywhere.

Buyers of these items were initially concerned that the goods were fakes produced in the human world or were transported through suspicious means. But when the businessmen showed the Queen's warrant to the detectives who came to investigate, there seemed nothing suspicious about the matter. The Queen's name was signed on the glittering parchment, proving that the merchants had indeed been granted permission by the Queen to sell demonic goods here.

The nobles have always liked to buy Demon Realm goods, but they are also very cautious. Therefore, they carefully asked Her Majesty the Queen for verification before making a big purchase, but they did not expect the Queen to admit generously:

"These businessmen have gone through my charter. She replied, "The goods of the Demon Realm have always been very popular in our country, so I have specially allowed them to operate to provide some convenience to the residents of our country. Zhongqing probably likes the goods of the Demon Realm as well, so he might as well take care of their business. A few days ago, they sent me a bag of rubies from the Demon Realm, so I might as well give them to Zhongqing today. ”

As she said this, the queen ordered a bag of rubies of fine color to be brought and distributed among the nobles present. These gemstones are dazzling and beautiful. Even if someone wanted to say something against it, they were gagged by these gems and could no longer say anything.

With the support of the nobles, the operation of these caravans became more convenient. When they leave the human world and go to the demon world, they will also bring all kinds of agricultural products from the human world and sell these goods to the demon world. These caravans were protected by both the Demon King and the Human Queen, and earned a lot of money, which not only filled their wallets, but also enriched the treasury of the Demon and Human Realms.

These caravans differed from the smugglers of the past, who were always in hiding and trading only on the black market. Those who want to buy demonic smuggled goods must first find a way to meet some special people and find the right place before they can buy what they want. However, the caravans now actually have the Queen's chartered warrants. They can swagger around at will, and anyone can ask in front of their stall without fear of being questioned by secret police detectives. Their business went very smoothly, and it didn't take long for the king of the human realm, Mars, to open the first store that mainly sold the goods of the demon realm, which was something that had never happened in the human world.

This store not only sells a wide variety of Demon Realm goods, but also buys a large number of agricultural products from the Human Realm. The good prices they gave attracted a large number of farmers in the suburbs of Wangdu. After selling their produce in the Demon Realm Merchandise Store, these farmers would go on a shopping spree in Mars, making the royal capital Mars seem more bustling than usual.

The caravan was constantly moving between the demon realm and the human realm, and at first, the caravan was composed entirely of humans. As time went by, demons gradually appeared in the caravan. In the beginning, it was some lizard men, who were strong and taciturn, who were only responsible for carrying goods and never dealt with humans. When they were done with their work, they sat down on the box on the side and took out the wine they had prepared. The children, half frightened and half curious, hid to the side, watching their sturdy muscles and strange lizard heads, while the adults stared at them warily, as if to make sure they didn't do anything out of the ordinary. By the time people became accustomed to the presence of the lizard man, many cat people appeared in the caravan. These cat people don't have the same strong muscles as the lizard men, but they are very good at bargaining, treat people warmly, have charming eyes, and are very qualified clerks. At first, people were a little reluctant to the cat people, but it didn't take long for everyone to get used to it.

When people became more and more accustomed to the caravans of the Demon Realm, and they didn't feel surprised even if they saw the demons sitting in the tavern they were used to, the gate of the Demon Realm opened again.

This incident was reported in all the newspapers of the human world. Despite the efforts of the newspapers' chief writers to explain what it means for the Demon Gates to be reopened, speculation is what the new queen will do about it. Military and political fans are hotly discussed, but most people still have no idea whether the Demon Realm is open or not. After all, the gate of the Demon Realm has been open for a long time before, and whether the gate of the Demon Realm is opened or not has no impact on the lives of most people, so no one pays attention to these things.

But perceptive people still noticed the change. People in the legal profession were the first to notice that the legal provisions in the code that prohibiting people from going to the demon world and not having contact with demons were deleted in the newly revised Basic Law. Not long after the law was revised, the queen set up a customs office in front of the Demon Gate.

There is only one country on this continent, and for a long time this country has not had any contact with other countries. As a result, people have not seen customs for a long time and do not know exactly what they do. The first people to figure out what customs was all about were merchants. These merchants had long been jealous of the traveling merchants who were wielding the Queen's warrants, and had gone to great lengths to get a warrant but could not get one. Therefore, as soon as the customs were set up, they immediately ran over to inquire about the news, and it didn't take long to get a pass to go to the Demon Realm. This is the Queen's special Merchant's Pass, which allows an entire caravan to pass through the customs, and as long as the tax is paid proportionally, the customs officer will release the merchants.

However, going to the Demon Realm to do business is a big deal in the end, the Demon Realm does not have such a sound law as the Human Realm, and most of the regions still uphold the law of the law of the jungle, and ordinary caravans will never dare to go to the Demon Realm to do business casually. This point seems to have been well thought out, as long as the merchants who want to go to the demon world pay a certain amount of insurance premiums, the customs will send a knight team to provide protection for the merchants, ensuring that the merchants will not be attacked by the demons.

Taxes and insurance premiums are not a small amount, but the profits of doing business in the Demon Realm are still huge. A large number of merchants have devoted themselves to the trade routes from the human world to the demon world, and Grace has become more and more prosperous as the only way to go to the demon world. Queen Isaiah collected a large amount of taxes through customs, and the customs knights also allowed a large number of knights to get proper jobs. The treasury is full, and everything seems to be better than before.

Two years later, when people realized it, the Demon Realm seemed to have become an indispensable part of people's lives. In the eyes of most people, the Demon Realm is like an ordinary neighboring country, and their citizens are strange-looking and hot-tempered, but other than that, there is nothing special.

Over time, everyone seems to have accepted this reality. Only the Cult of the Illuminati was furious with this, and kept holding religious councils to discuss it, and constantly protesting against the Queen's tolerant attitude towards the demons, but no matter how much they insisted that the demons were the envoys of the demons, the number of their followers was still greatly reduced, and the power of the Cult of the Illuminati gradually declined, and there were few devout believers.

Just then, the queen announced something that surprised even more.

She wants to marry the demon king of the demon world.

Although the people have some understanding of the demon world, from ordinary people to princes and ministers, the concept of the demon king is still mostly stuck in the pattern drawn on the Brave Handbook - that is, the Minotaur Demon who looks very hideous and terrifying. So, when Isaiah announced this, everyone suspected that they had misheard - Queen Isaiah was so beloved that no one dared to think that she had an extraordinary sexual fetish. However, the queen's expression made everyone realize that this was not a joke, she was indeed preparing to marry the demon king.

At the beginning, everyone wondered about the purpose of the queen's marriage, whether she planned to ensure a trade surplus by holding the demon monarch in the palm of her hand?

Perhaps the queen is just obsessed with the beauty of the Demon Monarch.

The nobles who had attended the Queen's coronation knew more than the commoners, and they recognized the Demon King as the stranger who had appeared at the Queen's coronation in the past. And the queen suddenly decided to get married, I am afraid not only because the time was ripe, but more importantly because of her slightly bulging belly. But they didn't say anything, just kept it a secret.

The marriage of the two monarchs was a troublesome affair, and neither had any intention of annexing its territory to the other's territory and was not prepared to give up its throne. The courtiers of the two sides had a heated discussion, and finally decided to let the two kings live in the Demon King's Palace and the Human Realm Palace for six months each year, and while the kings lived in each other's palaces, all urgent matters were forwarded by messengers.

The grand wedding finally takes place, and the story comes to an end. The queen gave birth to a pair of twins, and the kingdoms of the demon world and the human world finally got a legitimate heir, and the courtiers could finally rest assured.

As for the protagonists of the story, they don't care about these things the most, no matter what, they can finally be happily together without any hindrance.
