Don't confiscate my citizenship

The breeze under the night sky, carrying the fragrance of flowers and fresh vegetation, gently blew past the front door of the Border Library.

The moonlight falling on the stone steps became soft, like the sound of time, making the scattered passers-by on the street want to stop and listen.

Thalia sat motionless on the steps outside the library.

Until the sky got a little darker again.

As the heavy and tall door of the library was pushed open, Lan Qi finally walked out of the library with a codex in his hand.

Although Talia's back was to Lan Qi, at this moment, she slightly tilted her head, apparently sensing Lan Qi.

Eh?

Lan Qi looked at this familiar figure with some surprise, and walked quickly to her side.

Have you been waiting here for me?

Lan Qi was quite leisurely and simply sat down not too far from her.

After receiving your reward, I will naturally do things for you.

Thalia said expressionlessly.

Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the Hutton Kingdom Code in Lan Qi's hand.

She didn't know what book Lan Qi was focusing on reading so that she stayed in the library all day.

Now she finally knows the answer.

This guy probably wants to be a lawyer or a judge.

He is indeed a very well-behaved kind of human being.

You...didn't have lunch?

Lan Qi looked at Thalia, who was as dignified and quiet as a statue, and realized that she was probably still hungry because she had been staying here all day.

She strictly abides by the terms of the deal more strictly than she imagined. Maybe this is the pride of the Demon Royal Family?

...

Thalia didn't speak, but looked at Lanqi with a slightly unhappy look.

It seemed that he acquiesced to Lan Qi's words.

Uh... I happen to be getting ready for dinner. Do you want to come with me?

Lan Qi paused awkwardly and smiled naively.

No need, I will leave when you return to the mansion.

Thalia stood up, seemingly telling Lan Qi with her actions: Now that you are ready to return to the mansion, you should leave quickly.

She will not accept unwarranted kindness from humans.

Today was my mistake. I will definitely tell you how long I will stay here in the future.

Lan Qi explained sincerely, his words full of apologies,

So as compensation let me treat you to a meal.

However, Thalia just stood indifferently, as if she didn't hear Lanci's words.

We have the best chef in town,

He is good at the unique flavor of this southern Wantina border area, and he will use the best selected ingredients to make it,

It is guaranteed to be something that is difficult to taste in other city-states,

There are also the most luxurious cheese and mango mille-feuille, mocha hazelnut crispy egg tart, platinum strawberry mousse cake...

...

Listening to Lan Qi's chattering words.

The corners of Thalia's eyes seemed to be slightly moved for a moment, but then she frowned.

No.

Thalia said coldly, turned her head, and walked down the steps without looking at Lanqi without any intention of waiting.

Just now, Lan Qi's words lingered in her ears.

Like a devil's whisper, full of temptation.

She didn’t know why, but at that moment, she felt like she was in another world——

It seems that there is a great strategist of the demon clan beside him. If he can get his whole heart and soul, he will definitely help him regain his country...

wrong.

This human boy who obviously belongs to the good and lawful camp has nothing to do with her fellow humans.

really. Or my longing for the restoration of the country is too strong.

That would lead to such a ridiculous illusion.

it's a pity.

Lan Qi stood up, patted the dust on his pants, held the thick Kingdom Code in one hand, and followed quickly with a smile on his face.

Although Talia is still so indifferent, after all, this is her character.

But Lan Qi discovered something intentionally or unintentionally.

He still remembered seeing at work that Talia was an extremely self-disciplined person.

She has maintained strict dietary principles and spiritual practices, which include getting up early, jogging, meditating and taking cold showers.

but.

As Talia's real mother, Lanci clearly remembered that a detail was mentioned in a very corner paragraph of the copy——

[She abstained from sweets, and when she had the rare opportunity to enjoy desserts, she allowed herself only the most luxurious ones. 】

This is a very subtle detail.

Lan Qi couldn't help but have serious doubts about this:

Is it possible that Thalia is a hidden foodie but is afraid of falling prey to her appetite?

The biggest weakness of demons is that they have too strong desires. Sometimes more evil demons see through their desires and induce them, which will make them go crazy.

The higher the level of the demon clan, the more they know how to restrict and hide their desires.

Lan Qi smiled silently in his heart.

So it's really interesting to talk about demons.

…

The sky in the border city-state became a little darker again.

Lanci's house looked particularly bright at night, with bright lights emitting from the crystal chandeliers in the courtyard and the windows.

On the second floor of the mansion, in the spacious and elegant study room, sat a dignified middle-aged man. His temples were slightly gray, but his leadership-like temperament had not diminished at all.

He was wearing an exquisite antique suit, with every corner neatly taken care of, showing a rigorous demeanor.

He is Lan Qi's father and the owner of this family - Noe.

Beside him, the butler was pouring tea for him.

Accompanied by footsteps approaching outside the door.

After a while, the study door slowly opened.

A young man with black hair and green eyes appeared at the door, looking a little confused.

He had just returned home from the library and had dinner. Before he could go back to the bedroom and put down the code in his hand, the maid summoned him to the study on the second floor.

You came.

Noe leaned on the seat behind the desk and looked at Ranchi.

It seems that he has been waiting for Lan Qi in the study for a long time.

Sorry, I didn't know you were looking for me today.

Lanci responded methodically.

Noe nodded.

He had thought that Lan Qi would come home late.

Unexpectedly, Lan Qi would walk in with a copy of the Hutton Kingdom Codex with the logo of the Border Library on it.

I thought this guy would come back drunk again, but he ended up going to the library to read.

Although Noe couldn't figure out why it was a code.

But at first glance, Lan Qi actually looks like a dignified priest or scholar.

Faintly, there was the slightest aura of a judge in charge of life and death.

Then Noe pinched his eyebrows.

It's obviously just my own misunderstanding.

His dandy son has no compatibility with the clergy.

It would be a blessing not to be abducted by a cult.

Sometimes he was really worried that Lan Qi would be bewitched by those cultists.

In the worst case, you may even become a fanatical believer and believe in those evil bishops who are like natural disasters.

fine.

Noe was sure that Lan Qi would never have the guts to provoke those guys who were darker than black.
