Chapter 1261 “The Queen Ran Away Again! (1)”
“Yes, Sire.” First Elder respectfully complies by cupping his hand, “I will take care of this matter so please go ahead and return to the queen. I’m sure Her Highness will want to be accompanied by you.” The last bit of his sentence was sugar to the ear, which made the demon king’s face melt again into a warming smile that left the elder awkwardly embarrassed.
He wanted to remind Di Cang again this wasn’t the right image to give as their king, but the man was already gone when he opened his mouth again.
“Ahumph!” Coughing to clear the awkwardness in the air, First Elder figured he might as well push forward anyways since they’ve already embarrassed themselves enough. “Leopard Chief, our king always takes good care of the queen so there are never any maids near Her Highness. However, the princess will soon be born so we are in obvious needs of capable maids for that. I want to know if your Leopard Clan has any qualified members to fit the job.”
The meaning of his remark was obvious – it’s a warning to not get any funny ideas about the king or becoming his consort! They’re only maids and nothing else, otherwise…..“I’ve said all I need to say now. Go back and prepare the candidates and come to the Demon City when you’re ready.” Whisking his sleeve, First Elder then began to leave and signaled the dispersal of everyone gathered.
“Sister!” Right as the young demoness who had caught Di Cang’s eye earlier was about to leave though, another figure suddenly steps in and stopped her in the track.
Compared with her beautiful face, this new girl in front was quite petite with a cuter contour.
“Sister, I heard the king personally selected you? That’s great! When I get to the city, I will need your help Sister.”
Furrowing up her brow, Mu Ying the leopard demoness grew hesitant at her younger sister’s request: “You want me to help you… for what?”
“Quit trying to fool me Sister, you really think I don’t know? The king is only saying it on the outside that he’s looking for maids to look after the princess, but in truth he’s searching for concubines for himself. Once we are in the Demon City then we are all his woman. Your strength is higher than mine so of course you will need to help me.”
In this cute looking petite girl’s opinion, Mu Ying should be monopolized for her own benefits since she’s stronger and her older sister. Such a great opportunity doesn’t come often, especially when they’re going to be in the palace to serve the king!“What do you mean by that? When did the king start selecting concubines? He only chose me because my talent and strength are higher than everyone else’s. Don’t go running off and getting weird ideas.” Now getting annoyed in her tone, Mu Ying didn’t like the way the conversation was heading.
Regarding this younger sister of hers, the young demoness could say she’s not very fond of her to begin with. For one thing, the girl never bothers to improve or train, that’s already a disappointing factor in of itself, and the other was how often her younger sister would try to seek higher places beyond her position. This goes against everything Mu Ying stands for and that was self-improvement!
