Your Majesty the Demon King, no way!

"Airi, what good deed have you done to ask us back?"

The deputy housekeeper came in a menacing way, did he come to ask him to ask for a crime?

"I don't quite understand what you mean," Airi admitted frankly.

"You broke the Jialan Lantern, why don't you hurry up and admit your mistake!" the deputy housekeeper scolded angrily.

Airi: "The Lantern of Jalan? I didn't break it."

Seeing that he refused to admit it, the deputy housekeeper directly passed him and rushed into the warehouse, forcing him to hand over the key.

Of course it was impossible for Airi not to give him the key.He didn't see the true appearance of the tribute until the assistant housekeeper opened the box where the Jialan Lantern was stored.

It turns out that the Jialan Lantern is a mother-child lamp, the big one is the mother lamp, and the small one is the child lamp. It is a bit like a luminous pearl, and it will glow by itself in a dark place.

However, when the deputy housekeeper lifted it up from the dark box, Airi found that the child lamp inside was not as bright as the mother lamp, and there was an obvious gap at the corner, which was obviously broken.

"It was you who broke it!" the assistant housekeeper pointed at Airi and said.

Airi was very angry at his sudden accusation: "Deputy housekeeper, if you don't have evidence, don't slander me."

"Just now I heard with my own ears the sound of you breaking something in the warehouse." What Ling Aili didn't expect was that Nico suddenly attacked him.

"you……"

As soon as Airi was about to refute, the assistant housekeeper next to him sneered and said, "Unfortunately, I was coming to the warehouse to pick up some things for the paddock. I didn't expect to run into Nico who came back. I also heard you You yelled something 'suffered, suffered', who else could it be if you didn't break it?"

Hearing these two making up nonsense here without blushing or panting, Ai Li laughed angrily: "You can hear it clearly, but it's not a one-sided story?"

Among the small servants brought by the deputy butler was his confidant, who immediately said: "Does the deputy butler still need to lie to everyone? Of course his testimony plus Nico's is more credible than yours!"

Just now Airi was out of breath for a moment and was dazzled. Now that he calmed down and thought about it, he realized that it was likely that the light went wrong when he was away in the afternoon. The biggest suspect was Niko who was guarding the warehouse. Now the blame is finally on his head.

Although the deputy butler had no hard evidence, his influence in the palace was still much stronger than his own. He and Nico jointly identified him, and the butler was not around, so it would be difficult for him to clear up the suspicion.

Faced with the crowd's attack, Ai Li felt at a loss for words, but this time the wall was really overthrown by everyone.

In fact, there are some things in the palace that don't need to be explained very clearly. It is nothing more than finding a hapless ghost to bear the blame.The deputy butler suddenly came out, probably to convict himself while the butler was away.

The deputy butler knew that it was impossible for a little handyman in Aili to find out again, so he called a few of his cronies directly: "You guys, take Aili away! Clean up well, so I won't be afraid that he won't admit it!"

After all, several strong male demons rushed towards Aili.

With such a small body like Ai Li, she was immediately lifted up, her arms were crushed to death, and there was no room for her to struggle.

"You guys are trying to beat me up!" Airi still didn't give up struggling, he tried to shout loudly, hoping to attract the attention of others, preferably the housekeeper.

However, the deputy housekeeper was too familiar with handling these disobedient newcomers, and immediately asked Nico to cover his mouth.

Nicole looked at Airi's eyes staring at him, and hesitated for two seconds, but in order to put the blame on Airi, he forced himself to be ruthless.

It would have been great if he hadn't opened the box out of curiosity before... Who would have thought that this is a child-mother lamp with a child lamp hanging on it? !That's why he accidentally missed——

Nico tightly covered Ai Li's mouth with both hands: "Ai Li, you should hurry up and recruit! The deputy housekeeper can still give you a light sentence for the sake of taking you."

However, Airi could only grumble a few times unwillingly, and was dragged out of the warehouse by those male demons.

However, as soon as he was dragged down the steps, a voice of "slow down" came from behind.

Airi raised her head and saw the old butler standing in front of them, and behind the butler was His Majesty the Demon King in black fine attire.

"What are you doing?" The housekeeper who had been busy with the purchases outside finally finished his work, but caught up with the disturbance here, so he was very unhappy, "And the deputy housekeeper, shouldn't you be in the paddock? Why are you still here?" Are you busy here?"

The deputy butler and the main butler never dealt with each other. After saluting respectfully to His Majesty the Demon King, he said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, I was going to get some things from the warehouse, but I happened to bump into Ai Li and broke the tribute of the dwarves." Jialan Lantern! This kid still refuses to confess, since the housekeeper is not here, of course I will preside over it."

Hearing this, the demon king's red eyes looked at the identified Ai Li, the light in his eyes flowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Airi couldn't help but "click" in her heart.I don't know how to offend His Majesty the Demon King just now, and now I am caught up in the right and wrong of destroying the tributes of foreigners. I don't want to know how the Demon King will treat him at this time.

Thinking of this, Airi felt that all the strength in his body was about to be drained, he could only pin his hopes on the old housekeeper.

"Old housekeeper, I'm innocent! I... just came back to the warehouse at night, and I haven't opened the box at all." Airi paused for a moment, concealing the fact that he was called away by the devil in the afternoon.

The demon king on the opposite side raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"You...you still haven't confessed!" Niguo felt that even the housekeeper and His Majesty were involved, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I have a stomachache this afternoon, so I told you, I didn't expect you to be so good My son's work has been-"

"You have been looking at the warehouse all this afternoon?" The Demon King who had been silent all this time suddenly asked.

Nicole froze for a moment, then replied, "Yes, yes."

The Demon King walked to the box, took out the Jialan Lantern inside, and gently stroked the sub-lamp on it with his thin and long fingers.

"Jialan is the technical achievement of the dwarves' research for nearly a hundred years. Its principle is to generate heat by absorbing dark matter in the air, so as to use thermal energy to emit light." He said.

Seeing His Majesty lightly turning Xiajialan's lamp, the other demons present still don't know what kind of medicine is sold in His Majesty's gourd.

Demon King: "But the technology of the dwarves is not perfect. One of the biggest shortcomings of Jialan is that it does not dissipate heat well. Even if the outer wall is damaged and the process of heating and glowing is stopped, its outer wall can still maintain heat for more than 3 hours. "

The butler stepped forward to take the sub-lamp from His Majesty's hand, his fingertips were icy cold, and hurriedly confirmed: "The outer wall of the sub-lamp is ice, which means that the sub-lamp stopped emitting light at least three hours ago."

"Airi, when did you return to the warehouse?" the housekeeper asked again.

"I……"

"He left my study at 5 o'clock, and he will be back here at least after 5:20 o'clock." The Demon King put the Jialan Lantern back into the box, and replied instead of Airi.

At this moment, the hands of the clock have just crossed 6:25.

The housekeeper nodded with a smile, and said to the other onlookers present: "It seems that the truth has come to light, there is no time to commit crimes in the love that has been in the study all afternoon. So, it is the deputy housekeeper and Nico who lied?"

Nico, who didn't understand anything, immediately panicked. He had just improvised to shift the responsibility to Ai Li. If it hadn't happened that the deputy housekeeper gave him an idea, he would have been waiting to die.

But I didn't expect to suffer from such ignorance. How could they understand the ghost principle of this Jialan!

His Majesty the Demon King slightly raised the corners of his lips, and made the final cut: "When I came to check on Jialan this morning, it was still glowing normally, so the only person who might damage the lamp...is you."

"No...it's not me! Your Majesty! It's not me!" Nicole turned pale with shock, and began to groan for himself.

"Even if you didn't break it, you are the one responsible for guarding Jialan in the afternoon, and the crime of dereliction of duty is also inevitable! You guys, drag him down!" The butler acted swiftly and decisively.

"Yes!" Several servants who followed the butler rushed up and grabbed Nico.

This is really a turn of events.It was Airi who was arrested just now, but now it is Nico who framed him.

The assistant butler watched Nico being dragged down, and shouted "Assistant butler, save me" at the end, breaking out in a cold sweat.

This trash can't even be lifted up!This time he got himself involved, if he knew earlier, he shouldn't have helped him!

The deputy steward here waited in fear for His Majesty's decision, but he did not expect that His Majesty's thoughts were not on him at all.

"Take the box to the study." The Demon King turned around and left such a sentence in the air before leaving.

Airi: "..."

After exchanging glances with the butler, after confirming that what the devil said was to herself, Airi carefully picked up the box and followed His Majesty the devil.

Soon, only the housekeeper who dealt with the aftermath and the deputy housekeeper who was still afraid of the aftermath were left in the warehouse.

The butler turned around and looked at the sweaty deputy butler.

He used to treat the deputy housekeeper as half an opponent, but now, the opponent is so stupid that he is not as good as a newcomer who just entered the palace.

Thinking of this, the steward said to him: "You have been in the paddock for too long, and you don't even understand His Majesty's intentions. Why are you fighting with me?"

One sentence choked the assistant housekeeper so much that he couldn't even open his mouth.

Yeah, he's been in the paddock too long.

For him, being held accountable and being treated coldly is not a big deal, the only thing he cares about is the trust of His Majesty the Demon King.

But now, looking at the back of Ai Li who was quickly catching up to His Majesty, the deputy housekeeper had to admit that his time might really be over.

study room.

Airi stood quietly in front of the desk.

After the devil came back, he opened the box and took out the Jialan lamp, apparently wanting to restore it.

Can this lamp be restored?Airi's heart pounded.

The Demon King was very calm, and there was no trace of urgency or anxiety on his face.

Airi wanted to thank him, but she didn't know how to say it, so she hesitated to speak beside her.

As if aware of Airi's emotions, His Majesty the Demon King carefully observed Jialan's structure and said, "Have you thought about how to repay me?"
