I Sensed the Aura of Demons on You Two-No. 17's

Lucia, that seemingly simple-minded girl, is unlikely to be encountered in the Holy Light Empire unless she is truly Imperial Daughter of the Holy Light Empire.

"Stop thinking about him. He has no interest in you at all. Just be happy and be your charming prince."

Julianna came over to Mills, put her hand on Mills shoulder, and teased Mills.

"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm the kind of person who's clingy and persistent? It's just the first time I've met a girl I like, the first time I wanted to have a serious relationship, and I didn't expect to experience heartbreak before I even confessed my feelings."

"Heartbroken? You? Give me a break. On the way to the Holy Light Empire, you flirted with quite a few girls. Luckily, you have some conscience and didn't do anything inappropriate."

Mills touched his nose, turned to look at Julianna, "I asked you to protect me, not to supervise me."

"I'm afraid you'll get hurt by a bad girl."

Julianna patted Mills on the shoulder and looked up at the floating city hidden among the clouds above the capital. The people of the Holy Light Capital called that city the "Light Imperial City".

I've heard that the Light Imperial City also has four airports, where Aviation Source Power Warship are docked.

"This regent is very powerful. According to the records on the stone tablet, the Holy Light Empire was able to continue its previous glory thanks to Regent Lance. Without this regent, the Holy Light Empire would not have had the chance to become the strongest empire in the Holy Light Domain."

The Potion Master Nolan was shocked by the inscription on the stone tablet. It mentioned the suppression of the Rebellion of the Five Kings and Three Dukes. The "Five Kings" here did not refer to kingdoms of the level of the Kloss Kingdom, but rather to kingdoms whose strength far surpassed that of the Kloss Kingdom.

The Three Dukes of the Holy Light Empire refer to the Grand Dukes.

The Grand Duchy is probably stronger than the Kloss Kingdom.

Not to mention that this regent also single-handedly captured the rebel leader.

That's unreasonable.

He was so powerful, yet he died of illness? I suppose he succumbed to overwork. As for the secrets of the Holy Light Empire, I shouldn't be too curious, lest I become a suspect in the eyes of the soldiers in the Holy Light Empire's capital.

"He is indeed ridiculously strong. What's even more ridiculous is that this regent did not make His Majesty of the Holy Light Empire a puppet."

"Shut up."

Mills, Julianna, and the others chatted and strolled around Holy Light Square. They would be able to enter the Light Imperial City above the capital later.

Before nightfall, Mills and his group, led by a young nobleman, entered the Light Imperial City.

The Garden of the Regent's Residence in the Light Imperial City.

The young dragon Lucia sat in the pavilion, eating grapes while flipping through the history books of the Holy Light Empire. Having had nothing to do for the past two days, she had taken to reading, especially history books. She was reading the history books of the Holy Light Empire not because she was interested in the history of the Holy Light Empire, but because she wanted to see if Lance had appeared in the history of the Holy Light Empire in any other guise.

There is currently no record of Lance appearing in the history of the Holy Light Empire under any other identity in official historical records. However, there is a record in an unofficial history that says a princess of the Holy Light Empire was once kidnapped by an evil dragon. That's all there is to it. It doesn't specify which period of the Holy Light Empire the princess was from. Based on just this one sentence, it is difficult for her to determine whether the evil dragon that kidnapped the princess of the Holy Light Empire was the Black Lance.

"Auntie, Auntie, why are you still reading? Come with me, we're going to Sky City for a banquet soon, how can you still be reading? Auntie asked me to take you to pick out some dresses and also asked me to find someone to do your makeup."

Lottie arrived at the pavilion, snatched the book from Young Dragon's hand, closed it, placed it on the stone table, and pulled Young Dragon away. The banquet was about to begin in two hours, and as the hostess of tonight's banquet, her adopted aunt couldn't dress too casually; she had to wear a formal dress.

The dresses have already been custom-made for my aunt; there are five sets, each in a different color.

"Slow down, slow down, there's still time. I can wear any of those five custom-made dresses."

Youlong wasn't very interested in makeup and dressing up; if it weren't for attending tonight's banquet, she wouldn't even want to wear a dress.

Upon arriving at her palace, with Lottie's help, the young dragon chose a black and gold dress.

Lottie asked someone to do her makeup, but she refused.

There's no need for that; she looks good even without makeup.

After finishing these trivial matters, with less than an hour until the banquet was about to begin, Lottie took the young dragon and flew directly towards Sky City.

She installed a flight Source Power Item on the back of the baby dragon.

The young dragon looked at the flying device behind it and felt a little awkward.

When Lance transforms into human form, her dragon wings can change freely. Since the curse on her body has not completely disappeared, can she still conjure up dragon wings?

I'll try it another day. If I can conjure up dragon wings, it would be quite convenient.

She tried to transform into a baby dragon, but failed.

It must have been because the Curse Power was weakened that she completely turned back into a human once the dragon horns on her head disappeared.

At six o'clock in the evening, Lottie brought the baby dragon to Sky City.

Sky City was built on the edge of the Light Imperial City, and the entire building was made of crystal.

It's like a Crystal Palace. During the day, it doesn't seem so impressive, but when the lights of Sky City come on at night, it truly becomes a Crystal Palace Sky City in the void.

When the young dragon and Lottie appeared in the main hall on the top floor of Sky City, the hall was already filled with many noble sons and daughters of ministers from the Light Imperial City, as well as sons and daughters of generals.

The young boy and girl appearing in the top hall represent the future of the Holy Light Empire.

Lottie brought the baby dragon to the high platform in the center of the hall. The boys and girls who were chatting in twos and threes all looked up at the platform when they saw Lottie.

Tonight's main character is the Little Regent, as they all know.

This was the first time they had ever seen Little Regent had appeared out of nowhere.

This Little Regent was very low-key and almost never appeared in the Light Imperial City.

"Good evening, everyone. Let me introduce you. This lady next to me is the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire. Her name is Lucia, and she is my aunt. She is the same age as me. I hope you will also call her Aunt, or Her Your Highness Lucia."

Lottie briefly introduced Lucia to her friends in the center of the hall, and then handed the stage over to Lucia.

As Imperial Daughter of the Farolyn Empire, she had seen this kind of scene many times and was not intimidated by the large crowd.

"Good evening, everyone." Lucia lifted her skirt and greeted the young men and women present.

Upon seeing this, the young men and women in the center of the hall all placed their right hands on their chests and bowed in return.

The girls lifted their skirts and slightly squatted down to return the greeting.

Only one girl did not do this, because she had a leg disability and was in a wheelchair.

A young man in a purple suit stood behind her.

As soon as the young dragon on the high platform entered the hall, it saw the girl in the wheelchair and the boy.

I don't know if they are siblings or lovers.

"No need to listen to Lottie Your Highness, just call me Lucia. Have a pleasant evening."

After a brief exchange, the young dragon Lucia left the platform and came to Lottie's side, whispering, "Lottie, what happened to the girl in the wheelchair's legs?"

"She was born with a disability, and the Potion Master and physicians in the Light Imperial City could not cure her leg ailment. Even the clergy of the Temple of Light have examined her, and the strongest Healing Art of Light, if they cannot restore her legs to normal, can only prevent them from atrophying."

The young dragon nodded, "It's innate, then there's nothing we can do about it."

"What is the relationship between the boy behind the wheelchair and the girl?"

"He was a poor student sponsored by Hanna's father. When he was thirteen, he became Hanna's bodyguard. Over the years, he seemed to have fallen in love with Hanna."

Of course, he is quite capable. He is currently serving in the military and is an officer. I don't know if he has confessed his feelings to Hanna, but most of his peers in the Light Imperial City can tell that the boy—no, the young man—likes Hanna.

He was three years older than Hanna.

Lottie glanced at the young dragon curiously. "Why are you asking me this? Do you want to try and see if you can cure Hanna's legs?"

Young Dragon shook her head; she didn't have that ability.

If Lance were here, he might be able to heal Hanna's legs.

What attracted her, besides Hanna, was the handsome, aloof young man who protected Hanna.

"Hey? Auntie, where are you going?"

"I'm just wandering around, don't worry about me, go find your friends to hang out with."

Under Lottie's watchful eye, the young dragon walked toward the girl in the wheelchair.

Seeing this, Lottie's eyes lit up with curiosity. What was her aunt planning to do? Curious, she thought, "Should I go over and listen?"

"Your Highness Lottie, come here for a moment."

Just as Lottie was about to follow, a girl suddenly called out to her, beckoning her over.

Lottie glanced at the baby dragon and ran towards her playmate. "What's wrong? My aunt told me to watch over my little aunt."

"Where's your brother? Why didn't he come? Don't forget, you took my money."

"It'll be here soon, I'm not kidding."

As they spoke, Lottie glanced at her adopted aunt, who had already appeared in front of Hanna. After exchanging a few words, the three of them headed toward the less crowded balcony.

What are you talking about? Why are you avoiding people? On the balcony.

The girl with long, deep blue hair looked curiously at the "Little Regent" who appeared before her. She hadn't expected that the "Little Regent" would take the initiative to approach her and chat with her.

With a cool and aloof demeanor, Connor glanced at the young dragon before turning his gaze to the night sky outside the window.

Soon, after tonight, Hanna will be able to walk freely in the sunlight and moonlight, just like a normal person, no longer needing a wheelchair.

The only regret is that he can no longer stay by Hanna's side.

He also failed the empire's cultivation of him.

"Your Little Regent Your Highness, do you wish to speak with me, or with Connor?"

"Both of you are people I want to talk to. To be honest, I sense a familiar aura about you."

Hanna, sitting in her wheelchair, tilted her head. "Your Little Regent Your Highness, are you suggesting we might know each other?"

Connor, pushing the wheelchair, also glanced at the young dragon with a puzzled look, and caught a familiar scent from them.

What's that aura? The young dragon didn't speak. She shook her head, circled around the aloof Connor, and then her gaze fell on Connor's eyes.

His eyes were very beautiful; they were dark green.

The only downside is that he has two eyes within his pupils, but they aren't double pupils.

It was a demon. She sensed the abyss emanating from young Connor.

Only those who have come into contact with Abyss Devil may have their bodies tainted by this aura.

Even a powerful nation like the Holy Light Empire has been invaded by demons?

It's not necessarily a demonic invasion; perhaps the young man before us has made some kind of pact with a demon.

Lance once said that demons love to make all sorts of contracts with humans.

If she hadn't spent time in the abyss and frequently interacted with two Abyss Devil in Lance's territory, she would never have noticed the faint demonic aura emanating from the young man.

Hanna, the girl in the wheelchair, also had a hint of demonic aura about her. It was unclear whether she had accidentally picked it up or whether the demon had approached her because of her legs and then made some kind of pact with her.

Although demons are evil, their contractual spirit has been recognized by Lance.

Actually, the secrets they both carried had nothing to do with her.

If her senior brother, the emperor, hadn't allowed her to inherit the throne as regent and hadn't given her such great power, even if she had seen something, she would have pretended not to have seen it.

Having become entangled with the Abyss Devil, she might not be able to resolve the situation.

Unless she summons her Abyss Royalty sisters to fight the demons in the human world, she's afraid that if she lets things go unchecked, the demons will threaten her senior brother Emperor's Light Imperial City. "Have you two encountered anything evil?"

???

!!

The young Connor's gaze towards the young dragon changed instantly, a hint of panic flashing in his dark green eyes.

We've been discovered?

Absolutely not!

The demon who made the pact with him was Great Devil.

In just a few hours, the contract will expire, and Hanna's leg ailment will be cured. We absolutely cannot afford to fail at this crucial moment.

Murder to silence him? The thought had barely crossed his mind when he suppressed it. Making a pact with a demon was already a betrayal of the Empire's cultivation of him; if he were to kill the Little Regent, what right would he have to be a soldier of the Empire? The girl in the wheelchair, Hanna, looked puzzled. "Dirty things? Your Highness the Little Regent means... the undead? Ghosts?"

"No, I mean..." The young dragon leaned down and whispered in Hanna's wheelchair ear, "The demon. I mean the demon. You made a pact with the demon."

Shock flashed in young Connor's dark green eyes. This Little Regent could actually sense it?! But she was wrong. The one who made a pact with the demon wasn't Hanna, it was him.

"Your Highness, Little Regent, don't frighten Miss Hanna. She's timid, and the filth you're talking about... she's only ever seen in storybooks."

I'm much more likely to encounter something evil than Miss Hanna.

The young dragon grinned. "When you encounter something unclean, have you ever made any strange pacts with it?"

"I made a wish."

"Marry Hanna? Make Hanna's leg ailment disappear?"

When the young dragon uttered its first sentence, young Connor's face suddenly flushed slightly. When it uttered its second sentence, young Connor smiled and nodded, "Yes, I want Hanna to be able to walk freely in the sunlight like a normal person."
