Chapter 3

Imagining a feast of blood and flesh, none appeared, but this dinner left Li Yalin deeply moved for one reason only: the dishes on the table were excessively greasy.

Meat! Meat! Meat!

Apart from meat, there was no other ingredient on the table. Even if it was an all-meat dinner, did it have to be so monotonous? It was either grilled meat or stewed meat. Was this the legendary dinner of the Demon King?

Can't you serve some rice? If that's not possible, even two steamed buns would do. Don't people in this world care about a balanced diet?

"Is the food not to Your Majesty's liking? If so, I will immediately have someone prepare a new dinner." Seeing Li Yalin frown, Kameel quickly asked with concern.

However, as soon as Kameel spoke, the serving maids beside her immediately knelt down, all showing a look of great fear.

Hey, hey, what are you doing? I just said I'm a bit uncomfortable, I'm not going to take your heads. Why are you so scared?

Li Yalin hadn't even said anything, yet the dinner was already in such a state. Was this the power of the Demon King?

"No problem, I'm just a bit uncomfortable. Actually, the grilled meat is quite tasty. Everyone, please stand up, don't be so stiff." Li Yalin didn't have the habit of making a bunch of cute maids kneel before him. Although he was called the Demon King, he didn't really consider himself one.

Speaking of which, Li Yalin couldn't help but sigh. The benefits of being a Demon King were really great. In this vast castle, he hadn't seen any other males besides himself. The maids and guards were all cute and beautiful girls. If it weren't for the initial fear of this new world, Li Yalin would have thought he had effortlessly conquered a huge crystal palace!

Isn't the dream of a shut-in to build a harmonious and beautiful crystal palace? And he had it without doing anything!

Perhaps they didn't expect this Demon King to be so easy to talk to. For a moment, the half-kneeling maids looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Is the Demon King speaking the truth? If we stand up, will it anger the Demon King?

"Everyone, please stand up." Fortunately, Kameel's words calmed all the maids. Although she had only briefly interacted with Li Yalin, Kameel felt that he wasn't the type to be unpredictable. His words were genuine.

Standing up nervously, the maids found that Li Yalin really wasn't angry, and they breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the new Demon King was a good person.

"Hmph! This is the new Demon King? He's as thin as a twig. Can he really be called a Demon King?" Just as Li Yalin was secretly relieved, thinking everything was fine and he could continue eating, a young and yet incredibly arrogant voice suddenly rang out, instantly capturing his attention.

Who?

Following the voice, he saw a girl in a luxurious pleated dress appear in the dining room.

Her golden wavy hair fell to her waist, her blue eyes were as clear as the sky, and her delicate and cute face made her look about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was a top-notch little girl!

However, this top-notch little girl was extremely disrespectful, clearly not taking Li Yalin seriously.

Twig? My physique may not be mighty and strong, but it's far from being a twig!

"Isa! Be respectful! Apologize to the Demon King immediately!"

The little girl's contemptuous words drew Kameel's angry gaze. She slapped the table and stood up, loudly scolding the little girl's rudeness.

"Alright, Kameel, she's just a child..." Although called a twig, Li Yalin didn't take it to heart. After all, she was just a little girl, and he wasn't going to argue with a child over a single word.

"Rude! How dare you call me a child! Impudent! I will duel with you!" Li Yalin's words, though unintentional, struck a nerve with the little girl.

Hearing Li Yalin's words, she jumped up, pointing at him, and loudly demanded a duel, which left Li Yalin quite troubled.

I just said it casually, no need to take it so seriously, right?

"Isa, do you know what you're doing?"

To Li Yalin, the duel was just a random outburst, not to be taken seriously. However, Kameel's expression suddenly changed from surprise to seriousness, as if she took it very seriously.

"Of course I know! You're just some unknown brat. Don't think I'll really consider you a Demon King! If you don't accept the duel, then get out of Blood Alliance City immediately! Otherwise, even if I kill you, you can't complain!" The little girl, Isa, her face flushed, pouted cutely, but her words made Li Yalin shudder.

He could feel that Isa's threat to kill was not just a threat. This was the True Demon Kingdom! Blood Alliance City! The stronghold of demons! If he took everything at face value, he would be too naive!

"You..." Kameel pointed at Isa, unable to say anything for a moment. Finally, she sighed and turned to kneel before Li Yalin.

"I am deeply sorry, Your Majesty. It is my negligence that has brought you this great humiliation. If the Demon King really loses the duel, I will die to continue serving Your Majesty."

What? What do you mean?

Li Yalin was confused by Kameel's attitude. How did it come to a duel so quickly? And what's with this talk of dying to prove loyalty? Does losing a duel mean death?

"Hmph! Just wait and see!" Seeing this, Isa didn't say much more. She just huffed and walked away, leaving Li Yalin bewildered. It wasn't until Kameel explained everything to him that he understood the truth.

"What? You mean Isa is your sister? And you're both princesses?"

"I am deeply sorry, Your Majesty. It is my negligence. However, I will do my utmost to protect Your Majesty's safety. Anyone who wants to harm the Demon King must step over my dead body first!"

Kameel was still kneeling before Li Yalin, but he was now completely calm.

Only now did he understand Kameel and Isa's true identities. They were the daughters of the previous Demon King, and although they didn't inherit the position, they were still the most prestigious people in the True Demon Kingdom. For a princess to kneel before him, how could anyone remain calm?

At first, Li Yalin thought Kameel was a guard captain or a steward. Who would have thought her status was so high?

The duel also gave Li Yalin a headache. According to Kameel, he couldn't refuse Isa's challenge.

This was a world where the strong ruled, and duels were very common. Although few people could challenge Li Yalin based on his status, Isa had the right!

A duel was not a child's play. Although it didn't necessarily mean death, with Li Yalin's current weakness, facing Isa was almost certain death.

Moreover, Isa clearly disliked Li Yalin, which increased his chances of being killed.

What to do? A seemingly harmless little girl could end his life at any moment. After learning this, Li Yalin didn't know what expression to show.
