Bianko had been following Kyird closely since he got out of the carriage. When they left the house, Biancola repeatedly told Biancola not to be nervous, and although she was immediately stopped by Padron, Rianca's attitude made Biancola feel "nervous" in a rare way.

The girl wore a beige dress in a short dress, which was specially prepared for her by Ligella. It was the first time she had visited the Demon King since she had left prison, and she had to show her spirit so that the Demon King would know that the Nobil family took the girl seriously, and in this name Sigela persuaded Kryde to allow Bianko to wear a slightly more fancy dress.

Seeing that the owner of that face was dressed in fine clothes, the psychological construction that Kilde had done for himself for a long time was slightly shaken. He still couldn't quite accept that face by his side, let alone appear in such an image. It would remind him of what that woman had deceived him for.

But he still suppressed the discomfort in his heart after all, if he was so out of shape in front of the Demon King, he had to show that he was a trustworthy nobleman of the Demon King.

"Be generous, Bianco." Kayld glanced at the girl who was huddled behind him and followed closely, "Don't look like a battered child. ”

Biancole couldn't fully understand what he was saying, but the girl at least knew what "atmospheric" meant. She obediently stepped out from behind Kyird, and after taking a look at her surroundings, she walked half a step behind Kyrd's side.

Kyild nodded slightly. In any case, Bianko's acting too restrained will make people think that she has not been doing as well as before when she goes out.

His gaze swept over the girl's unseasonable long sleeves, paused imperceptibly, and then shifted away. The season of the Demon King Continent is opposite to that of the Goddess Continent, the Goddess Continent should have entered a harsh winter at this moment, but the summer on the Demon King Continent side is still going on. The large burn on Bianco's arm showed no sign of subsiding, but gradually turned brown, and in order to block it, Sigela chose a long-sleeved dress for the girl.

Sigela had told the girl before she put it on, and that doing so would also have the element of abdicating the Nobel family, because by blocking it with her sleeves, others would not know that she had been injured. But Kyird didn't know why, and Bianko didn't refuse, but happily put it on.

No matter how light and thin the material of this skirt is, if it can block the wound on the arm, it is destined not to be cool. Kyild, however, did not see any displeasure on Bianko's face.

Kyild withdrew his gaze and calmly continued on his way. Regardless of whether Biancole himself will say it or not, he should take the initiative to confess his dereliction of duty to the Demon King, which is the sense of responsibility that he should have as the heir of Nobil. How could he get a silly girl who didn't understand anything to excuse his mistakes? This is simply a great irony for his aristocratic honor.

At the gate of the Demon King's Palace, the six of them will reconcile. Lanoda was noticeably more reserved than usual, more relaxed than the three men were able to exchange pleasantries, and the three girls just listened quietly behind them. Compared to Bianko, Lanoda and Rosette knew better what the Demon King meant to the people of the Demon King Continent, so they didn't dare to talk and walk around the place where the Demon King lived.

The guards walked into the Demon King's palace with six people and stopped in front of the Demon King's seat. The three men saluted the Demon King, and the three girls stood there with their heads bowed - the guilty who had not been completely cleared of their heads were not allowed to bow to the Demon King according to etiquette.

"You're here."

Demon King Avos watched them from his throne, and the breath of the gods made the air in the entire hall thicken. The young masters of the three nobles had long been accustomed to this level of stress test, but this did not seem to be a particularly tolerable thing for others.

Although Lanoda and Rosette did not show their faces, the sweat stains faintly revealed at the roots of their hair and their slightly trembling hands clearly showed their heaviness at the moment. Bianko, by comparison, is a little too relaxed.

The Demon King's completely undisguised and interested gaze attracted the attention of the three men, and since the Demon King had no intention of covering up, it was naturally not for them to pretend that they didn't see it. They turned sideways to look at the women in their jurisdiction, and their reactions varied.

Wokan walked straight to Lanoda's side with a big stab, half of them hanging on top of her, and even gave her a smiling face back; Letty took Rosette's hand and stood silently beside her.

And Kyalde could only look at Bianko, who was completely out of shape, speechlessly. The pressure of the Demon King seemed to have no effect on her, and she even looked directly at the Demon King curiously. Kyild was convinced that his mother's teachings could not be wrong, and that the maiden must have not been able to fully remember the etiquette she should have for these two days.

But the Demon King didn't care at all, and instead—the first to come out of Kyelde's description—looked at Bianko kindly.

"Do you remember me, Biankop?"

Biancole smiled shyly.

"I remember, you're Lord Avos."

The girl's voice was no longer the strange tone and strange sentences that she had just left the prison, but was replaced by a crisp vitality. Bianko's reaction seemed to satisfy the Demon King, and he even gave Kyild an approving look for it.

"You've taken good care of them."

Wokan responded to the Demon King's praise without any modesty, and Letty stood cautiously aside, only bowing his head slightly. Kyild only hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and bent his upper body.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lord, but I didn't do as dutifully as you wished." He looked down at the ground and didn't look up at the Demon King's expression, "Actually, because of my mistake, when we encountered the attack of the anti-nobles, Bianko was implicated, so much so that he was left with a burn on his body. ”

Kylde's honesty was met with the gaze of Lanoda and Rosette, but Wokan and Leti showed no surprise as if they were aware of his behavior.

"You mean, in a situation where you could have promised not to show up, you let your supervised get hurt by your side, right?"

Kyild's head was buried even lower.

"Yes."

The Demon King's eyes narrowed, and the pressure in the hall gathered around Kyild's side as if it were substance. Bianko looked at Kyard's unmoved body in a bent position, and for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable. "Are the Nobils defying the task I have given you, Kyald?"

That's a serious accusation, and Wokan even gasped softly.

"Don't dare, Lord Demon King, we have always been loyal to you and will never despise the task you have given us. It was just my personal mistake, and the Nobils took this task very seriously and did their best to teach my supervisees. ”

Kyird's tone was full of sincerity and respect, and the Demon King did not rush to express his opinion, but only stared at Kyird inquiringly.

The hall fell silent for a moment, until the silence was broken by another party.

"Is Lord Avos angry?" Bianko timidly asked, "Why?" ”

Kyild pursed his lips tightly, the girl's speech at the moment was not within the range he expected, if the girl said the wrong thing, the impact on the Nobil family was secondary, he and Padron would always have a way to solve it, but if she angered the Demon King, no matter how lenient the Demon King seemed to be to her before, her own safety was the most difficult to ensure.

The Demon King turned his gaze to Bianko's body, and the inquiry in his eyes deepened.

"Aren't you angry, Biancou? Because of the negligence of your regulators, you feel the pain and leave you with ugly scars on your body, which could have been avoided - if only your regulators were more attentive to you. ”

Wokan and Leti looked at Bianko vaguely, and the girl's answer could greatly affect the extent of Kleid's punishment next; Lanoda and Rosette are even more concerned about the girl's own safety. And they are almost certain that Biancole does not possess a sufficient degree of the art of speaking.

"But the young master has taken good care of me." "Madame and Melia taught me a great deal of things, and they carefully prepared my clothes, the room in which I lived, and the food I ate. If the young master doesn't want to take care of me, just let Madame Szig and Master Padron leave me alone. The young master has been worrying about what I should learn in the future to live a good life. ”

The Demon King raised an eyebrow, not particularly accepting her claims.

"Why did you call him Young Master, not by his name?"

Biancole tilted her head in confusion.

"That's how Melia is called the young master." She said innocently, "Madame Sieg and Master Padron are the young master's parents, so you can call him 'Keyi', but I can't call him that way. ”

The girl's answer made the Demon King finally laugh and shake his head gently.

"Straighten up, Kyird." The Demon King said in a general way, "Since you can make your supervised person take such pains to speak for you, at least for her, you are dutiful enough. ”

"Thank you for your leniency."

Kyild slowly straightened up, his face still expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking about what had just happened.

"Your honesty deserves my tolerance, Kird Nobil." The Demon King said slowly, "Compared to your dereliction of duty, if you conceal it and don't report it, it will only make me disappointed in you." ”

At this point, the alarm is truly dismissed. Looking at Bianco, who had sneaked up to him, there were many words that lingered under his tongue for a long time, and finally turned into a sigh of unknown meaning.
