Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress-Chapter 808 - 455: Your King Must Address Me as the Demon Lord in the Future [No. 20’s]_2
Lance, within the painting, saw the two demons who appeared on the ship and then looked up at the naive human head of his young dragon, chuckled lightly, waved to the dragon, signaling that he was aware.
It seems the dragon cub wants to match wits and strength with its true form.
He realized that for now, the dragon cub does not want to be found by its true form… and the true form… probably doesn’t know yet that its dragon cub could transform into a human.
“You are… Lance Demon Lord?!”
Great Demon Augustus, looking at the human in front of him, unknowingly spoke with respect.
“You two… oh… four of you, why did my dragon cub send you here?”
“Your Highness was afraid we would return to the Abyss, revealing her whereabouts to the Demon Lord, so… she sent us here.”
“From your words, it seems I should have already started harnessing the power of the Abyss to find the dragon cub. Alright, you four stay here for a while. Once I find the dragon cub, that will be the time for you to regain your freedom.”
The young dragon waved at Lance in the painting, slowly rolled up the scroll, and put it away.
Lance is very patient with her.
He put the painting away into the Lucky Coin.
The young dragon glanced at the unconscious youths in the hall and let out a sigh of relief.
Tonight was a close call, fraught with danger but without mishap.
However, staying in the Holy Light Empire is no longer an option; she must find an opportunity to escape.
Princess Rachel’s excuse about the Teleportation Array being under maintenance is surely a pretense, using it to keep her in the Holy Light waiting for Lance to come to the Holy Light Empire to find her.
Even if she asked Princess Rachel, she would probably get a similar answer: if not under maintenance, then lacking materials.
It seems unrealistic to expect to use the Teleportation Array to return to the Morning Star Domain.
She must escape, find the Domain Boundary between the Holy Light Domain and the Morning Star Domain, and then cross through it.
If she continues to stay in the Holy Light Empire, what she’d likely end up waiting for is not the news of the Teleportation Array being fixed, but for Lance…
Before becoming the Emperor of Farolan, she absolutely cannot afford to be found by Lance and taken back.
While the young dragon was plotting her escape, a humming sound came from the hall; the youths she had electrified were gradually waking up.
The first to come to from unconsciousness was Lotti.
Lotti rubbed her temples with a hand, looking bewildered. It took her some time to remember what happened before she lost consciousness, “Little Auntie! What about those two demons that possessed Conner’s and Hannah’s bodies?!”
“I destroyed them.”
“Then what about Hannah and Conner?”
“For the time being, I’ve sealed the two of them in a safe place. Once the Great Regent King arrives and resolves the problems within them, I will release them.”
At this point, the youths who were gradually waking up in the hall heard Lotti and the young dragon’s conversation and recalled what happened before their unconsciousness.
The Little Regent King single-handedly vanquished two demons!
It appeared that he also saved Hannah and Conner.
Even though they were temporarily sealed by the Little Regent King…
“Sorry everyone, I didn’t expect such incidents to occur during the banquet. Thankfully, you’re all fine, otherwise, I might genuinely have to go to Hell to apologize to you.”
“Your Highness, you are too kind. It is thanks to you that we are safe and sound.”
“As long as everyone is okay, let us move to another banquet hall and continue the earlier feast.”
The once magnificent grand hall of the Crystal Palace was now a mess, likely in need of a refurbishment.
“Let’s head to the third-floor banquet hall,” Lotti said.
“Those who feel unwell can go home to rest first,” added the young dragon, as the sight from earlier was indeed frightening.
If it were her first encounter with demons, she would definitely have been frightened into fainting.
When Lotti led the youths out of the grand hall in an orderly fashion, the guards responsible for protecting their young masters and mistresses finally appeared at the entrance of the grand hall.
Dragon Knight Hela, who followed the young dragon, also showed up at the entrance of the hall at this time. Seeing that the [Little Regent King] was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Your Highness, what happened inside just now?”
“Demons invaded; I repelled them.”
Demon invasion?!
Dragon Knight Hela was shocked. The Holy Light Empire was also being invaded by demons?
Thankfully, the one she followed possessed many powerful Source Power props, but their true strength was a mystery…
“Next time, I should just stay by your side. Otherwise, if something happened to you, I wouldn’t be able to explain to him.”
“You’re not as strong as I am.”
“….”
That’s heart-piercing, Your Highness. Talking like that, you’ll have a hard time making friends!
Dragon Knight Hela felt she was being humiliated as a Domain Expert.
Sky City’s first-floor hall.
Those who could enter and exit here were minor nobles from the Imperial City of the Holy Light Empire, including some royal members from neighboring kingdoms.
The status of members from kingdom royalty was not valued here.
The position of a kingdom prince here was even inferior to that of a son of an earl with a fief from the Holy Light Empire.
The local nobles of the Holy Light Empire’s Imperial City also looked down on the outsiders to some extent.
Mills, Juliana, Nolan, and a few others were here. However, Mills, a prince from the Cross Kingdom… was eyed by a daughter of an earl from the Holy Light Empire who wanted him to stay at her apartment for a few days after the banquet.
Mills politely declined. He was a prince, not a gigolo…
The earl’s daughter who clung to him was in her twenties. At that age… she was still unwed, though she did have a fiancé.
Getting involved with such a woman would only spell trouble for him.
“Sorry, I have arranged to go on a night stroll in the Light Imperial City with my companions tonight. I appreciate your kindness, Miss Carmela.”
Upon being rejected, Carmela scoffed, “You’re a prince, Mills… I gave you this opportunity. Don’t be ungrateful.”
“Miss Carmela, please watch your language. Remain elegant, as befits your status.”
“Someone, there are a few uninvited guests who’ve sneaked in here, kick them out. The Little Regent King’s banquet is not something every Tom, Dick, or Harry can attend.”
Shortly after the words of the earl’s daughter Carmela fell, several men in black suits responded to the call, appearing before Mills, Juliana, Nolan, and the others, “Ladies and gentlemen, if you do not have invitations, please leave immediately.”
“Mills, Juliana, Nolan, Morgan, Owen, Philis, Lambert, what are you doing here?”
The voice of Young Dragon Lucia suddenly echoed above the first floor hall.
Mills, Juliana, Nolan, and the others instinctively looked up toward the second and third floors, immediately spotting Lucia waving at them from the third-floor outdoor balcony.
On the second and third floors of Sky City, there are corridors and balconies, from which the people can see the first-floor hall.
Young Dragon, holding a glass of juice, had just appeared on the third-floor balcony and casually glanced down at the first-floor hall, spotting Mills, Juliana, Nolan, and Philis among others.
She had intended to go downstairs to greet them, but when she noticed the security personnel of Sky City gesturing for Mills and his group to leave, she had to abandon so-called noble etiquette, and shouted their names out loudly.

Not to mention… when she spoke loudly, her voice was much louder than before.
At least when she shouted the names of Mills and the others, everyone in the first-floor hall looked up at her.
Seeing this, Young Dragon flashed a grin and loudly said: “Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Lucia, the Little Regent King of the Holy Light Empire. They are my friends. I got a bit excited just now, my apologies to everyone.
What are you still doing on the first floor? Come up to the third floor to find me. I’ll treat you to some delicious food and drinks.”
On the first-floor hall, Juliana, Philis, Nolan, Owen, Morgan, Lambert and the others instinctively raised their hands and waved at the Young Dragon.
Lucia… she’s the Little Regent King of the Holy Light Empire?
Dragon Knight Hela appeared behind the Young Dragon, smiling and lifting his wine glass to them. Not to say… the feeling of meeting acquaintances in a foreign place was really nice.
Especially when he was looking down at them from the third floor, it felt even better.
When Lucia had asked him to be her follower, he had resisted, feeling insulted.
It was him who had failed to appreciate her offer back then.
“Mills, when you see Lucia… cough… the Little Regent King later, could you ask on our behalf if we could become her Followers now that we’ve become Domain Experts?”
“???”
