In front of a building called the Hall of Orders in the center of the Demon King City, the portals built by the demons of Sinful Karma opened one after another in front of the gate.

A crimson beam of light rose from the center of the Hall of Commands, piercing through the clouds of the Demon Realm to the sky.

It was already the middle of the night in the Demon Realm, and two rounds of lilac moons in the sky illuminated this ancient building.

There is no council in the Demon Realm, and the orders of the ruler are absolute for any member of the Demon Realm.

The reason why it is called the Hall of Orders is because when the 'flag' is raised, the four dukes and seven generals of the Demon Realm must be present, no matter what the circumstances.

There were very few people in the entire Demon Realm who dared to disobey this absolute order, and the Duke of Black Dragon was one of them.

The people of the royal city watched from afar the beam of light that went straight to the sky, and every time it appeared, it meant that the life of the demon world would usher in a big turnaround.

It may go in a good direction, or it may make the situation of the Demon Realm worse.

The last time the beam lit up was when the ruler Nordleine went on a border fortress.

Cecily stood in the Hall of Commands on a par with the four dukes...

She looked sideways at a seat closer to her, where the ruler was, and where her father had been.

It was here that Cecily watched her father when she was younger...... Notline commands the Quartet as ruler, but unfortunately she may never see it again.

A blue-haired woman walked up to Cecily's place, she was the embodiment of the Water Elemental Lord, her azure pupils glancing at the location as Cecily did, but she didn't ask Cecily about the ruler's whereabouts.

The remaining seven generals also arrived one after another, including the criminal demon general Voss who followed Nogus.

He's a general who represents the demon clan of sin...

Among the four dukes, except for the Grand Duke of Black Dragon, the Grand Duke of Bones and the Grand Duke of Blood have all been present.

As if they had agreed in advance, they didn't open their mouths to ask about the whereabouts of the Demon Realm Ruler.

Because in the Hall of Commands, they understand what they do, that is, 'listeners' and not 'proposers of advice'.

Even the most unruly archduke of bones silently obeyed this ancient rule.

Everyone was waiting for the only being to speak in the Hall of Commands, and Cecily couldn't bear to let the dead silence continue.

"It was I who raised the flag and summoned you."

Cecily broke the silence in the Hall of Orders, her eyes looking around at all the people around her, hoping to see some clues in their expressions.

It's a pity that except for the archduke of bones, who can't see their expressions, the expressions of the other dukes and generals are very normal.

"It seems that Notline has completed his mission..."

Suddenly, blood came out of his mouth, and the bearded middle-aged man stared at Cecily with scarlet pupils.

"You, Grand Duke of Blood... Already known? ”

Cecily's eyes turned dangerous as she looked at the Blood Archduke.

The Blood Clan, one of the four branches of the Demon Realm, has always been a vassal of the Chaos Demon, and is the confidant of the Chaos Demon, such as Cecili's lieutenant is the youngest daughter of the Blood Grand Duke, Peste.

But Ceheli did not rule out the possibility of betrayal by these bloods.

"I will always know that I remember the loss of every caretaker, but now I can no longer feel grief and can only remember the loss of an old friend."

The Grand Duke of Blood said to Cecily in a sincere voice.

"Every caretaker..."

Cexily remembered that except for the Archduke of Bones, the other three dukes were the oldest beings in the Demon Realm.

The lifespan of the Chaos Demon was nothing to mention in front of these three dukes, and the Blood Grand Duke had witnessed the death of many rulers of the Chaos royal family.

It stands to reason that the Blood Grand Duke, who has a longer lifespan, should have the position of ruler, but he did not ...... Rather, it exists as an adjudicator.

"Are you the next caretaker? Her Highness Cecily, or Her Highness Noggs? The Grand Duke of Blood said in a flat voice.

"Grand Duke of Blood! Watchman... What is it? ”

Listening to the tone of the Grand Duke of Blood, Cecily vaguely felt that although the title of Caretaker represented the highest status in the Demon Realm, but... The crown was deadly.

The Grand Duke of Blood suddenly showed a sad smile in the face of Cecily's questioning.

"Interesting, your father, Nordleine, once stood here and asked me the same question." Said the Grand Duke of Blood.

"My... Father? ”

Cecily reminded herself once again that the man in front of her might be her great-great-great-great-grandparents.

"A curse, a curse on your people, a past fulfillment of the covenant you have made with us Vault Dwellers." The Blood Grand Duke glanced around at the generals standing around him, and finally told Cecily about the covenant.

"There is a terrifying thing in the Demon Realm, and only the soul and blood of your clan can suppress it and contain its existence forever." Said the Grand Duke of Blood.

"The price is the life of every caretaker?"

"It will gradually devour the consciousness and soul of any caretaker, and eventually the keeper of the abyss will become a slave of the abyss."

The words spoken by the Grand Duke of Blood at the back were in a voice that Cecily was very familiar with but could not understand, a bit like the language of elves......

"The death of the Guardian will cause its power to spread across the earth, and the entire Demon Realm will fall into chaos." "But even if there is a guard from the caretaker, it will only be delayed after all." ”

“……”

Cecily couldn't tell if what he said was true or a lie, but the Demon Realm was indeed facing a crisis of land ashification.

"If ......"

Cecily was about to speak, but the Blood Archduke interrupted her speech early.

"Her Highness Cersylly, I've had enough of sending my friend personally... My friend's children are on this path of perdition, so I have another way. ”

"Another way?"

Cecily had been a watchdog all her life, and she knew exactly who lived in any corner of the Demon King City, but now Cexily realized that she didn't know anything about the world she lived in.

"Your sister Fuya." Once again, the Blood Grand Duke uttered a name that stunned Cecily.

"Abandon your second decision, and I will be the new caretaker."

Cecily wasn't sure if what the Blood Grand Duke said was true, but she and her eldest brother had to inherit the position of caretaker, which was the duty of the Chaos Royalty.

But if the caretaker is really as dangerous as the Blood Grand Duke says, she will definitely not push it to her own sister.

"No, I don't mean making your sister a caretaker."

With a wave of his hand, a translucent screen appeared in front of him, and Cecily recognized this thing, it was the magic net created by Qiao Xiu!

"For many years I kept sending my family members to infiltrate human society, trying to establish religions and organizations, but all of them ended in failure."

The Blood Grand Duke's fingertips swiped across the screen of the magic web, and judging from his movements, he was so skillful that he did not look like a newcomer to the magic net, but an old bat who often soaked in the caster's forum.

Cexily thought of his youngest daughter, Peste, who had founded an organization called the Black Dove in Nolan.

"To gather intelligence on humanity?" Cerseili asked.

"Part of the reason is for this, and part part of it is for collecting human beliefs."

The Blood Grand Duke looked at his hands, and he could faintly see some dim red light in the palms of them.

"Your Highness Cersili, do you know the true name of your sister Fuya?" The Grand Duke of Blood felt it was time to confess.

"Fuya, her real name? Wrong... Grand Duke of Blood, tell me everything you know! ”

When Cecily came back to her senses, she realized that this fourth sister was not... Born of mother.

From Cecili's childhood memories, Fuya was brought to them only once by Notlion and said, 'From today onwards, she will be your sister.' ’

"Fuya... This is the name your people gave her, and we call her Arnorod. Said the Grand Duke of Blood.
