The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!
Chapter 1951 - 531: Still Defeated by True Arrogance_5Vivian is playing a very avant-garde game, where she has to play Matthew, while Miss Padric takes on the role of the Lord standing in the shadows.
As for who will play Miss Eloise?
It doesn't matter.
She never acts coy!
At least that's what she thinks.
Then, the script was altered beyond recognition.
Bell Tower Steward Richard was knocked flying in an instant, while Alfred, playing the "Steward," cried from start to finish, almost forced to the point of awakening.
In the end, Little Campbell huddled in the corner of the hedge, licking his wounds alone, while Nanfu walked over to heal them, laughing and crying.
The battle turned into a direct confrontation between the Lord in the shadows and Miss Eloise, truly a well-matched contest.
Because Vivian had her Extraordinary Power sealed by the Demon King's collar, while the Enchanting Demon happened to excel in Spiritual Magic, which most restrained physical strength.
A pink heart emerged in the scarlet pupils.
Vivian was shocked, watching Padric the fox spirit advance with a mischievous smile, unable to move no matter how much she struggled.
"You're cheating!"
"Ah ha ha, Miss Vivian, I advise you to accept your fate, I'll take care of you very gently~"
Truly the mighty tiger subdued by dogs on the plain, a Platinum Level powerhouse suppressed by a Gold Level Enchanting Demon!
But Miss Padric was a very gentle Enchanting Demon, especially towards the obedient shape of the "Sister of the Demon King," she couldn't bring herself to hate her.
It's hard to say whether this was lucky or unlucky for Vivian, as it promised a different kind of "torment"...
While Vivian was enduring this "great humiliation," in the manor's reception room, Prince Colin was having a friendly conversation with visiting Duke Edward.
"Haha, my friend, you really should go see that play!"
Putting down his teacup, Duke Edward spoke humorously about the new play he and his wife saw on Queen Street yesterday.
"... To counter the bell ringing at the Colin Grand Theater, our dedicated priests from Thunder City finally showed generosity, gathering a large sum of money to rush a stage play called 'Holy Crown'!"
Luo Yan wore a friendly smile on his face.
"Oh? How was the response?"
"Disastrous."
Edward's face showed a gloating expression, as these Holy Light Nobles from the Hero Family became more "vile" by the day.
Even more villainous than the Demon King.
"... Six full acts, with a stinking long plot. Most of the time, there was only one old priest in a white robe on stage, dealing with trivial issues at the temple under the Holy Light, rambling at a bunch of 'rascals,' unable to make anyone cry or laugh."
"The funniest part is, all the villain roles were rascals, their problems either irrational or shortsighted, unable to see right from wrong, and they were made up to look old and ugly. Once under the Holy Light from the magic crystal lamp, they looked darker than devils in the shadows."
He cleared his throat, mimicking the priests' arrogant accent with lifelike imitation.
"'You are the lost lambs, only the glory of my Lord can fill your stomachs'... Listen to what they say, even Earl Derek wouldn't be this arrogant, yet they built a whole stage just for this line!"
"Oh, and if I had to add another line, it would be 'though we levied the Chastity Tax, it was also to protect your chastity.'"
Hearing this, Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh aloud.
"Who wrote this script? Are you sure that guy isn't a devil?"
The Demon King swore.
He really didn't do this, since there's no need to teach this trick to the opponents, those moves are too advanced for this era.
"Who knows? Whether that guy is a devil or not, the script passed the Holy Light's test, I'm too lazy to worry for the church, let them have their headache."
Edward shrugged, wearing a smile.
"The result is predictable, the few audiences below the stage fell asleep, while those who managed not to fall asleep were probably infuriated by their immersion, but didn't dare throw anything up there, expressing dissatisfaction only through their gaze."
Even Edward sighed at this point, unable to help but feel a bit more somber, with a touch of complexity and regret in his eyes.
"Honestly, I feel quite heartbroken."
"Me too."
Luo Yan nodded lightly, as the Royal Railway Company's train came on cue.
"I am also a devout believer, yet when I walk on the land of the Aus Continent, I find our priests have long forgotten gentlemanly demeanor and decency."
The poor can do without these things, but if those bathed in Holy Light also lack them, very bad things will happen.
This isn't the corruption of the Demon King.
After all, Divine beings can't change the laws of stellar motion, determining day and night.
They can only turn on lights for those who wish to have lights, turn off lights for those who wish to have them off, and within their ability, respond to believers' contributions to fulfill their wishes.
"This is probably my biggest comfort for today, as not just the Thunder City citizens are desecrated, but the entire Aus Continent is too."
Looking at Prince Colin who resonated with him, Edward self-deprecatingly jested, easing the gloom between his brows.
"Those priests always blame me for corrupting the Thunder City citizens, Saint Sis above, I truly don't have such great capability."
