Your Majesty the Demon King, no way!

At the end of February, when the ice and snow melted, the Seven Demon Generals had already returned to their respective territories, except for the two generals Ka and Ai who had been stationed all year round and General Alvin.

Airi was promoted by His Majesty as Deputy Steward.

The seat that has been vacant has finally been filled, as everyone expected.

Even Airi herself was not surprised.

There is no need to say more about His Majesty's intentions, he even faintly felt that the old butler was deliberately promoting him.

This morning, Airi came to the storeroom to fetch something for His Majesty.

He remembered that the last time he was guarding the Jialan Lantern in the warehouse, Nicole and the deputy housekeeper framed him, and the old housekeeper brought someone over to help.

Whether it was towards Nico or the deputy butler before, the old butler's behavior was sharp and ruthless, completely opposite to that smiling appearance.

He was a little confused for a while, and gradually couldn't understand what kind of attitude he should use to face the old housekeeper.

In the past, he regarded the old butler as his goal of struggle, and his ideal in life was to become the butler of His Majesty the Demon King, but after these things, he once again realized that he was still far behind the old butler.

Airi put her hand on the box in the warehouse, and was stunned for a long time, until she was awakened by an old voice——

"Airi, are you here to fetch things too?" It turned out to be the old housekeeper.

Airi hurriedly withdrew her hand and replied, "Hello housekeeper, I'm also here to pick up things."

"You are already the deputy housekeeper, sometimes you don't have to do everything yourself." The old housekeeper advised him.

Airi smiled lightly: "You love me, but you often come to pick up things yourself, how dare I keep ordering other people around."

"You're a smart boy." The old housekeeper nodded, "Since it happened to happen, I'll tell you now. Your Majesty has ordered that you will take over the paddock starting tomorrow."

"The paddock?" Airi hadn't heard of this place in a long time.

That was his starting point in the palace, and it was also where the deputy butler was in charge.

"Yes, there can't be no one in charge of the paddock all the time. You can go and have a look in the afternoon."

"Okay." Airi replied somewhat cautiously.

The old butler: "You seem a little afraid of me?"

Ai Li was a little embarrassed after being punctured.

"Do you think my promotion of you is puzzling to you?" The old butler laughed.

Without waiting for Aili to answer, the old housekeeper went on to say: "Flying insects that are greedy for honey will always drown in honey. The more greedy they want to get, the more disgusting they will appear in front of His Majesty."

"And I know how to retreat bravely from the rapids."

After hearing this, Airi remained silent, and the old housekeeper smiled and left the warehouse first.

The appearance is hideous, and the rapid retreat is so good. Isn't this the true portrayal of the deputy butler and the butler?

So the deputy butler died in the icy river, while the old butler still held a high position in the palace and was deeply trusted.

Ai Li, who has been troubled for a long time, finally has the feeling of seeing the moon through the clouds and mists.

In the afternoon, he returned to the long-lost paddock.

The familiar roar of monsters rang in his ears, and Airi suddenly felt like laughing against the afternoon sun.

The sight in front of me was all too familiar.He hadn't greeted the paddock boy beforehand, so it was assumed that he wouldn't be over until tomorrow to check things out.

The handymen in the paddock were working as usual, and it happened that a group of newcomers came this afternoon, and they were being lectured by the temporary stewards of the paddock.

Airi remembered how helpless she was when she first went to work, so she walked towards them.

The temporary steward noticed that Ai Li was coming, and immediately greeted him: "Why are you here?! I don't even know, why don't we go outside to meet you!"

Looking at the manager who was smiling apologetically, Airi smiled back and said, "After the manager told me, I thought I'd drop by and have a look. I used to be here too, and I'm familiar with it, so you don't need to greet me."

Just as the steward was about to flatter, Airi continued to ask, "Are they all new here?"

The petite teenagers in front of him looked nervously at Airi.

"Yes, they just came here today, and I'm telling them the rules here!"

Airi: "Rules are indeed inevitable, but I think some work in the paddock is dangerous. They are still too young. In the future, every newcomer should be assigned an old man to take care of them."

"Yes! You are so right, it should have been like this a long time ago, and I will do it right away!" The manager quickly agreed.

"By the way, is Bull still here?" Airi thought of her old friend.

"Of course he is. He is now in charge of taking care of the black dragon mother and child. I'll call you right away."

Airi: "No need, I'll go find him myself, you go first."

Declining the steward's company, Airi went to the Dragon's Nest alone.

The familiar long ladder seems to lead to the sky.Airi looked up at the top, and climbed up the ladder with some nostalgia.

"Roar!" There was a roar of the black dragon from above, as if it sensed Airi's approach.

"Puppuppuppuppuppuppuppuppup!" With the sound of this voice, a ball rolled into Aili's arms head-on.

"Ah, it's you, the dragon cub!" Airi hugged the black dragon cub in surprise, "It's been so long, why haven't you grown a single thing!"

The dragon cub seemed to understand Airi's words, and let out a dejected "woo".

The childhood of our Black Dragon Clan passed so slowly.

"Dragon cub, don't run around—" A familiar figure climbed down the ladder from the dragon's nest.

The two sides looked at each other for a moment.

"Boolean!"

"Eri?"

It's been a long time since we saw each other, Bull climbed up to the dragon's nest with Aili, and the two sat in the nest, having a good talk about the old days.

"It's a blink of an eye, time flies so fast." Bull rarely showed a gentle smile, "Congratulations."

Airi smiled and said, "Thank you, if you didn't help me back then, I might have died at the feet of the monster."

Bull waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you also gave me gold coins as a reward."

Airi has always had a good impression of this low-key devil, he does not fight or grab, and is honest and responsible.

This time he came here, on the one hand, to have a good chat with Bull, on the other hand, through the matter of Nico and the deputy butler, he finally understood what His Majesty said to him at the beginning——

The only way to survive in the royal palace is power, and you are bound to be deceived by him when you are at the bottom.

And even if you are in a high position, you must know how to manage carefully and retreat bravely.

Airi gave a detailed account of his plan for the paddock to Bull, including the move of bringing the new with the old.In the future, he plans to entrust the management of the paddock to Bull, after all, he still has to guard His Majesty from time to time.

His Majesty respects his wish and does not disclose the relationship between the two of them for the time being. Airi thinks that she still needs more accumulation.

In order to help Bull manage the paddock well, Airi specially took him to find a temporary steward, and summoned all the other handymen to support him.

Because of Bull's personality, those roommates in Airi used to have a good relationship with him, and Airi specially appointed a few of them to help Bull.

Several roommates couldn't help but blush when they saw Ai Li who had returned to the paddock. They still haven't forgotten how they excluded Ai Li back then.

Although when Airi left later, they settled their grievances, but after all, there was a quarrel.

Airi praised them in front of the temporary stewards: "Thanks to the help of several roommates, I was able to successfully complete the work in the paddock. In the future, please work together to manage the paddock well."

Several roommates nodded in agreement.

After arranging the work of the paddock, Airi hurried back to His Majesty's side.

The angel family will be visiting in March, and he not only has to take care of the paddock, but also prepares for the reception banquet.Regarding the situation of the banquet, he wanted to ask His Majesty directly some questions.

study room.

His Majesty the Demon King has been reading books here for a whole day, and what he read was "Praise of Angel", which Airi almost didn't finish reading.

This book is very thick, and the text inside is very obscure. It is not easy to read for Airi's level, but it is not difficult for His Majesty.

But he still read for a day.

Airi who came back gently pushed open the door.

"Your Majesty, I'm back." Airi whispered for fear of disturbing him.

His Majesty the Demon King beckoned him to come over, and said solemnly, "Isn't it okay to call me by my name?"

Airi: "...That's good, but our relationship hasn't been made public yet."

"At least you can call in private." The Demon King said sullenly, "We are not in love secretly."

"Pfft." Airi couldn't help laughing for a moment.

"Okay ~ Lu Ye."

The author has something to say:

I'm an unrepentant writer.
