Chapter 565 – The Amazing Ranch

Chapter 565 – The Amazing Ranch
An exquisite ancient zither was placed in one corner of the bedroom, and the shelves lined up on the side of the wall were filled with ancient books and magic guides.

Lysandra’s eyes wandered to the corner of the room, not wanting to meet the princess.

The only thing the Princess might call difficult for her was to ask her once a day if any new Daemons had come to the royal capital.

The actual questions about what specific Daemons would be attending, and what their status and other conditions were, were all things that the Falling Secretary Caliera wasn’t allowed to reveal to the Princess.

It was necessary to ensure the fairness of the competition in a few days.

Otherwise, once there was some shady business, Kaliyera’s fair image of being in charge at this time would also be questioned by the Great Demons.

There was another thing that Lisandra was not sure if she should tell the princess or not.

In addition to the Daemons, there was also a Blood Clan that would be attending this time.

The Tenth Patriarch himself was known as the Blood Race’s most unique painter, and his own powers were related to painting, and when he heard about the princess’s request, he said that he would like to make a contribution.

Originally, the Demon Race wanted to negotiate peace with the Blood Race, and at the same time use this as an excuse to reject the Blood Race’s marriage, but it turned out that he didn’t expect that the Tenth Patriarch would agree to follow the Demon Race’s rules, so naturally, he couldn’t be rejected.

“But this time, in the end, the rules set by Lord Kaliyera and the Great Demons may not necessarily be satisfactory to you, Your Highness.”

Lisandra could only say as much in the end.

There should always be something that had to be answered to the princess.

Even though the princess had made the request to “like the most artistic Demons”, after being conveyed by Caliera, it had caused a lot of displeasure amongst the Great Demon Clan.

The magic power elite still think that the princess’s limitation is too directional, the only one who can participate is the big magic tribe, so most of the big magic tribes basically have nothing to compete, some big magic tribes directly lie to lose, some big magic tribes can lie to win.

Plus, the dueling of the famous and noble families of the magic world can also use knights as their messengers instead under some rules, so why can’t painting be replaced by the most talented artisan in the family?
After repeated negotiations between Caliera, the Daemons and Caliera each took a step back, and the final rule was confirmed to be that the Daemons could take an assistant with them when they painted.

As to whether the Daimons themselves would paint and have their assistants help, or whether the “assistants” would do most of the work and the Daimons would take on the role of the real assistants, it was not clear.

But all of this was within the acceptable range of the Fallen Secretary Caliera.

Finding the most powerful painter in a limited time and appreciating it is also a kind of artistic merit and strength.

From the point of view of the Fallen Secretary, she does not want the Daimons to fight at this juncture, it is naturally the best to be able to fight in a civilized manner, and as for the manner of the civilized fight, the more the Daimons agree on its fairness, the more convincing it will be.

The other reason was that the Daemons had caught on to the fact that Fallen Qing didn’t want the Blood Clan to win, and had successfully persuaded her to do so.

In the past few days, the great clans of the Demon Realm had spent a lot of energy in order to enlist the assistance of the ancient artisans of the Demon Realm.

“Your Highness, what is your favorite style of painting?”

Lysandra swallowed and still tried.

Many of the great families of the Demon World were now beginning to approach her, hoping to use her connections with the Princess to gain some information in advance.

In order to ensure fairness, the day’s paintings would be blindly selected by the princess, meaning that without knowing the author, a painting would be chosen as her favorite, and the author of the painting would be the winner.

If it was possible to contact the princess in advance, it was even theoretically possible to get in touch with her and reach a secret deal.

The prerequisite was that it couldn’t be faked too much, for example, if the princess didn’t choose a sacred grade painting, and chose a precious grade painting, it wouldn’t be convincing.

“Rather, there is no limited style aspect ……”

Huberian responded hesitantly.

It seemed like she didn’t quite know how to answer this question asked by Lisandra.

She wasn’t actually sure what kind of paintings she liked.

She had seen a lot of powerful paintings, for example, every painting of Duke Migaiya was blown out of proportion, but she had watched Duke Migaiya paint since she was a child, and felt that it was just so and so, and couldn’t see much of a difference.

“I’m the one who asked too suddenly!” Lisandra quickly changed the topic.

Despite the temptation on the side of the powerful people of the Demon World, she still needed to consider it carefully.

She wondered if Fallen Secretary Kaliyera had any knowledge of all this.

It was hard to fathom the thoughts of the Fallen Secretary at times; she might find out and turn a blind eye, but if it didn’t fit her ideas, she would immediately and coldly remove it.

Lisandra actually wanted the princess to be well.

Being able to hold on to the Princess’s leg in the future was one thing, and the other was that she didn’t have many friends in the royal capital, and the Princess was really friendly to her.

Pity.

Those stupid big powerful people.

Came to try and reach out to her and get intel from her, but only for the sake of winning, not really caring about what the princess liked.

In actuality, when it came to real power, they couldn’t even match the edges of the 10th Patriarch.

She had once tasted a painting of the 10th Patriarch of the Blood Clan when she was in school, and she personally thought that all of these Daemons were overconfident.

No matter who won, Lysandra was sure that there would be no happy ending from the moment the princess made the claim that she liked artwork.

Poor Princess, in this time and place, how could she herself not be a work of art to be traded by the demons.

No Daemon really loved her.

“So, can you tell me a funny story outside the castle?”

Huberian’s voice came, interrupting Lisandra’s thoughts.

“…… I haven’t paid much attention to it, but as you know, I live just across the bay, and while the daily commute to the palace is a bit of a hike, across the bay I live just far enough to be able to see the palace across the sea.”

Lysandra mused for a moment and murmured.

“And then?”

Huberian nodded and looked at Lysandra.

“Recently, I’ve had a broad neighbor next door, but I don’t really know what kind of demonic race it is.”

Lissandra said in confusion.

Next door to her small house was actually a very grand building.

A week ago, a wealthy Demon had easily purchased this palatial restaurant on the Isle of Leith, but of course it could have simply been rented out as a way to put a face on it.

I don’t know where the tycoon came from, but many rumors have been circulating about him on Leith Island lately.

But the rumors were quickly dispelled, as the owner of the restaurant had redecorated it and turned it into a brand new work of art, doubling its value several times over, so how could he have just rented it out.

No one knows where the tycoon came from, or what he does for a living, or why he bought this mansion across the bay right in front of the palace.

Some said he was a spy, some said he was an assassin.

But they were all nothing more than superficial speculation.
