"Liliana Kranjcar, Grand Knight of the Black Copper Cross, we magicians offer our deepest respect to the new King."
In the courtyard swept by the breeze, the imposing voice of the girl resonated.
Her voice had the softness of women, but it was stronger and full of confidence.
After Kaido gave Deanna an ultimatum and guaranteed her protection, Liliana was entrusted with an important task by the headquarters of the Black Copper Cross that same afternoon.
"You must please the King no matter what."
This was something that her teacher, Deanna, the commander of the Black Copper Cross, emphasized repeatedly before leaving.
Everyone desired the protection of a God Slayer, but they were not willing to be simply a cannon fodder organization.
Therefore, without angering Kaido, Deanna sought an alternative path, hoping that Liliana, her most outstanding subordinate and one of the best in all of Italy, could use her beauty to attract the King.
Throughout history, the honey trap has been a consistently effective strategy for many politicians, achieving numerous indirect means to save their nations.
Her long, silver-brown hair waved in the wind like wheat. The girl, with her hair tied up in a ponytail, wore a blue and black dress. Her delicate face, like a Western doll, radiated confidence and determination.
In Italy, Liliana was on par with Erica as the most outstanding Grand Knight.
—Get up. There's no need to be so formal in a private meeting.
After completing the ceremony of infeoffment with dignity, Liliana became a Knight, after Erica.
"Yes."
Liliana exhaled softly; her first impression of him was quite good.
He was not like Marquise Voban, who with just one glance instilled fear in people's hearts.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet you so soon, Lili-chan~~"
Erica smiled and stroked her small head.
—Don't call me with such intimacy, Erica Brandelli! I'm not your friend, and there's no reason for you to treat me with such ambiguity!
Liliana's face showed annoyance as she impatiently pushed away Erica's hand.
Although they were friends, Liliana really disliked Erica's playful nature.
That's not necessarily true, you know? The Black Copper Cross and the Black Copper Cross Red are now under the King's protection, so our two families are no longer enemies.
Erica raised her index finger and moved it from side to side.
"Maybe, in the future, we can even become a closer family."
"You should maintain your composure in front of the King; don't be too rude."
Liliana's expression remained unchanged.
Kaido is not a Demon King who doesn't even let people speak, you know? And as a subject, it's only right to be more active.
"You can't be too casual, though!"
—You... are always so stubborn. Or do you say that Liliana prefers to pour her emotions into novels and enjoy them alone?
—What are you saying?! I didn't write that... that kind of novel!
Oh my god! Did I read it wrong before? It was very sentimental... "With the tips of his fingers, he carefully removed her clothes, the girl's breathing was like... *muffled sound*!"
"Stop... stop talking."
Humiliated, Liliana rushed over and firmly covered Erica's mouth.
During her daily free time, she enjoyed immersing herself in her own world, converting her emotions into words and secretly publishing them on some small websites.
By the way, Liliana wrote novels of the genre "An authoritarian CEO falls in love with me", which also included many explicit scenes.
Kaido smiled as he watched the two girls' antics and then said, "Get ready; we'll be heading to England tomorrow."
Huh? Why did the King make this decision so suddenly? —Erica asked.
"Someone called me, and I went."
Many sparkling dew drops hung from the leaves early in the morning.
London, as the capital of England, enjoys a reputation no less renowned than the beautiful names of Milan and Rome.
Its unique beauty and prosperity cannot be described with a few words.
A rough description would be: crowded, prosperous, bustling, vibrant, and with a touch of "gay" atmosphere.
This is Hampstead, the affluent area of London, known for its fashionable trees.
It is one of the three most exclusive residential areas in London, and also the place with the most millionaires in all of England.
Near the lake, a building that resembles a medieval castle stands. Externally, it has a large courtyard, four floors, and four towers, occupying a considerable area.
Perhaps most people would assume that the residents here are elderly people from prominent families, but in reality, the owner of this mansion is a single woman named Alice Louis Op Navarre.
She is the daughter of Duke Godding, a local noble and former President of the Council of Sages. She later retired due to health reasons and now serves as a special advisor.
Of course, those who know her prefer the titles of Princess Alice or White Princess.
And now, Princess Alice, who was extremely famous throughout Europe, was slumped weakly over her desk, her eyes occasionally glancing at the window, then at the still-wet writing on the paper, sighing deeply and helplessly.
Her platinum blonde hair, which reflected the sunlight, also seemed to have lost its usual luster. Her voluptuous figure was hidden by a magnificent long dress. In a Europe full of nobles, Alice was the most desired woman to marry in the hearts of all men.
However, this young woman, who embodied honor, elegance, and admiration,
Was quite worried at the moment.
As for the reason for her distress, it seemed that she had gotten into trouble again.
Keeping things to herself was not a habit of Alice.
So, she shook her brilliant platinum blonde hair and, with a somewhat unstable tone, told the maid beside her: "Please prepare some black tea for me... prepare sweet and bitter tea."
"Understood, Princess."
The maid nodded softly with a dubious expression and then retreated.
Soon after, the living room was filled with a not-too-strong tea aroma.
"So... what should I do if I tell you that I messed up?"
Alice leaned half of her profile on the table. She wore a high-quality white jacket, combined with long black boots. Under the jacket, she wore a short knit dress and leggings.
Upon hearing the White Princess's words, the maid who was serving the tea suddenly trembled.
According to what she had learned before arriving, Alice was a very serene woman.
It was said that even when facing the rampaging God Slayers, her expression and inner self could remain calm.
Perhaps it was this calmness that made her reputation in Europe not weaker than that of several God Slayers who had lived in Europe for a long time.
"No matter what it is, Your Royal Highness should be able to resolve it."
As a domestic worker, she didn't understand much, so she could only offer symbolic comfort.
Although Princess Alice's personality was calm, she often liked to go out and play in her spiritual form.
Therefore, even if she caused problems somewhere, not many people knew the truth.
"If it weren't for those old men from the Council of Magus Kings who insist on my help, I wouldn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble."
The position of special advisor is actually very singular.
Although Alice had resigned as Spokesperson, every time something happened, the members of the Council of Sages instinctively sought the help of their former superior when they encountered unsolvable problems.
The Council of Sages is a special organization formed by meddlers to exchange information.
And among countless pieces of information, the most important ones are undoubtedly those related to God Slayers or Heretic Gods.
The news of Kaido becoming a God Slayer spread quickly.
And the Council of Kings, naturally, would not stay at home, but would do everything possible to gather all the information about him.
This included his family background, childhood experiences, romantic relationships, economic and social aspects, and, most importantly, the number and capabilities of his authorities.
Alice was commissioned by that group of people.
To divine Kaido's authorities through divination and then assign them new names.
But unfortunately, not only did she fail to divine anything, but she was also located by the newly born King.
Being the target of a God Slayer is not a good thing.
Let's take Marquise Voban as an example: all the witches, knights, and magicians who opposed him until today have been killed and transformed into "Servants of Death".
The Eastern Hierarch controls almost half of China's magicians; anyone who dares to oppose her will only find death.
By the way, the Council of Sages also named several of Luo Hao's authorities.
But this has been kept secret, without letting him know that his authorities were arbitrarily named by others.
Otherwise, even if the Council of Sages were far away in Europe, it could be annihilated by the Hierarch.
"..."
Although Alice hoped that the other party would not bother her, things went against her wishes.
As the aroma of tea floated in the air, several uninvited guests broke through the mansion's detection barrier.
The other party seemed to have no intention of hiding. They remained on the first floor of the mansion for dozens of seconds before going back up.
Closing the distance between them.
"You can withdraw first."
Alice patted her cheeks, and after the maid left, she got up from her chair, revealing her most perfect smile.
The door opened from the outside, and three different figures appeared.
Erica Brandelli, Liliana Kranjcar.
As the former head of Europe's largest intelligence network, Alice knew these two girls very well.
However, what caught her attention the most was the black-haired young man standing between these two great knights.
The seventh God Slayer to appear in the world after killing Typhon in Milan, Italy.
His personality seemed calm, but a few days ago, he forced all of Italy's Magical Societies to serve him.
It was said that he had a preference for women, but no scandals had arisen.
A God Slayer whose true nature cannot be seen is the most terrifying.
"Greetings, oh King of God Slayers, may I ask why you have suddenly honored my humble abode today?"
Alice adopted an elegant attitude, her delicate and beautiful face filled with a humble smile.
"You should know my purpose better."
Kaido imprinted Alice's appearance in his mind.
Just as the rumors said, the temperament of the White Princess was definitely that of a noble woman, and she was also a beautiful girl who combined talent and beauty.
"If I have offended you before, please allow me to offer my sincerest apologies."
Alice spoke respectfully, while observing the newly born King.
Another Oriental.
If the Eastern Hierarch Luo Hao knew that she had a compatriot, would he want to meet him?
"I do not wish to bother a lady, but maintaining courtesy with guests is a basic requirement."
Kaido smiled and left the room, without giving Alice a chance to discuss.
"Since I am a King in your eyes, then by coming out to greet me like an impostor, are you not showing me any respect?"
