The Demon Princess Was Defeated and Captured Sorry, That’s the Role I’m Playing – Chapter 130

Chapter: 58. Morning Chit-Chat

The next morning, the dawn was faintly bright.

Timani, who got up early, just arrived in the living room and saw the Demon Princess holding her waist, pouring herself a cup of morning tea like a withered vine on an old tree, savoring the leisure time after a night of toil.

Xue Fei hadn’t leisurely enjoyed it for long.

She heard Timani say something inexplicable.

“Demon Princess, I’ve realized your house is haunted.”

“Oh, just haunted… What?! Is there really such a thing?!”

The morning tea in Xue Fei’s hand suddenly lost its flavor, and she hurriedly pressed Timani to clarify her statement.

Haunted? That won’t do, Xue Fei is afraid of darkness, mainly she’s afraid of ghosts!

However, after Timani described that there was always a strange noise at night…

Xue Fei thought about it, her brow gradually relaxed.

She continued to sip her morning tea.

“Oh, it’s nothing. It might happen frequently in the future; you’ll just have to get used to it.”

“Get used to…? Well, that’s not too bad… the bed here is very comfortable, even if it’s haunted, it’s worth it. But you… why are you holding your waist? Did you twist it?”

“No, but it’s worse than twisting my waist. I had to fight all night, so I’m tired.”

“Oh… you had a tough night, fighting late at night. This is the Demon Race, truly warlike.”

Timani hadn’t thought that while she was sleeping, the Demon Princess had to rush off to fight for the Demon Race; she must have killed countless enemies to be this exhausted, right? It’s quite a hard life for her, isn’t it?

Xue Fei felt Timani’s understanding was somewhat off from the truth, but she didn’t plan to explain those things.

Some things can’t be explained.

And there’s no face to explain.

Timani glanced at the plate filled with morning tea and snacks, swallowed, but still tried her best to look away from it.

“Is it just you? The Hero isn’t here?”

“Xiya? Xiya is still sleeping; she fought too and is tired.”

“Ugh… why is everyone so busy? No time to sleep…? Uh, I… I don’t need it, I’m not hungry.”

“If you’re not hungry, then give it back to me; I’m not forcing you to eat.”

“……”

Timani looked at the small biscuit that Xue Fei tossed over. She spread her hands to catch it, instantly troubled.

In her understanding, food must be earned by oneself; food given by others shouldn’t be eaten.

“I really still… um…? Wasn’t there a whole plate just now? So much…”

“Oh, I finished it while you were hesitating; look.”

“……”

The Demon Princess took out another whole plate of pastries from her Storage Magic, stuffing them into her mouth with both hands, showing Timani how the previous food vanished.

Under such a strong visual impact… seeing her eat so deliciously, Timani looked at the small biscuit in her hand, pitifully small, and couldn’t help but bring it to her mouth to chew slowly.

Just finished eating.

Before she could savor the taste, she heard the Witch’s evil laughter!

“Hahaha…!!”

“!”

Oh no…!

She accidentally succumbed to temptation and ate… she’s definitely going to mock me for being a beggar again!

As Timani considered how to explain that she wasn’t a beggar, the conclusion finally came to her about the source of Xue Fei’s laughter.

“Haha! Even without using Healing, my waist pain has alleviated just a little; I have improved! This won’t do; I need to have another plate to celebrate? …I mean Fire Lizard, don’t be such a spoil-sport, standing there like a rolling pin. If you want to eat, sit down and have some with me; why are you dawdling like this?”

“I don’t… well, fine.”

Timani cautiously smoothed out the wrinkles in the sofa, ensuring she had no dust on her, and then carefully sat next to Princess Xue Fei.

Perhaps Xue Fei had already seen through what she was thinking.

“As a beggar, you sometimes think too much; actually, no one thinks you’re a beggar.”

“Really…? Sorry, I might indeed be a bit sen… aren’t you still calling me a beggar?!”

“It was an error! Hey, calm down! The biscuit is food, don’t throw it at me!”

Even if you throw it at me, I’ll just catch it with my mouth, not wasting it~

The morning light was still gentle, and the time was early.

At this moment, although Timani’s blood pressure was high, she still remembered the promise the Demon Princess made last night.

“Well… can you tell me who Xial is now?”

“She’s a pervert.”

“I know… she’s a strong pervert; I’m asking about her specific identity.”

“Even though you didn’t understand what I said, well… anyway, I said I would tell you yesterday, so listen well. Xial is the Holy Sword of the Kingdom; do you remember the sword Xiya hung on the wall yesterday? That’s Xial.”

“……”

See, I knew you would be so surprised.

Didn’t expect that the opponent you fought with yesterday, whom you kept asking about, is actually not even human.

But Timani’s self-adjustment efficiency was surprisingly high, which caught Xue Fei off guard.

“I see… no wonder I always felt powerless when fighting her. I’ve heard of the Aulus Kingdom’s Holy Sword; it’s such a powerful weapon that even High-Level Races talk about it. I just didn’t expect it to take the form of a child and have its own mode of action.”

“Don’t worry; I know you like to fight against strong opponents. When you have the time, I can let her fight you again. Who knows, you might just turn the tide.”

“No thanks…” A rare glimmer of resistance appeared in Timani’s eyes. “There’s no chance of winning against her. Even Domain Magic didn’t work… I don’t want to experience that bizarre situation again from yesterday… But, Demon Princess, I am quite curious about your strength. If you have time, how about we have a spar?”

“Sure~ Let’s spar, but keep it light.”

“Thanks, I hope this time I can regain a bit of confidence. Yesterday really made me feel frustrated.”

You should just work hard~

Taking advantage of the early hour, Timani had already changed into her crimson dress, cleaned and dried with Elemental Magic, grabbed a few small biscuits, and stood up, ready to set off again.

“Are you leaving?”

“Yes, thank you for letting me stay here for a night.”

Timani seemed to be in a good mood today, perhaps due to the catharsis she found last night.

“But I have to go.”

“Where to? Planning to continue achieving results and find an opportunity to return to the Fire Dragon Clan’s territory? To be honest, in your situation, even if you achieve tremendous merit, they won’t welcome you, you know? My suggestion is to get a grip on reality; don’t deceive yourself.”

“I know… so I want to find out where my place is. Ugh… actually, you’re right. Even if I can go home, it’s full of enemies who killed my parents… what can I do even if I go back?”

A bewildered traveler seemingly lost in a mist.

That’s probably the current state of Timani.

Xue Fei noticed Timani’s wandering gaze and knew that even if she went out the door, she wouldn’t know where to go.

“Then why not stay here a few more days?”

“No need, I appreciate your kindness, but I’m not the type to stay too long at someone else’s home; it’ll only bring trouble to both of us, so…”

“Don’t you want to know the truth about your parents’ deaths?”

“…!”

Xue Fei’s sudden statement caused Timani’s tail to halt.

At the same time, her tone became slightly colder, filled with gloom.

“Witch… what do you mean by that…? Do you know something?”

Ah, it’s said that dragons have their sensitive spots. Indeed, even Timani has such topics that are hard to bring up.

But if she doesn’t resolve the confusion in her heart, she won’t find a way forward.

“I don’t know yet~ but I plan to go to the Northern Region these days.”

“You’re going to the Fire Dragon’s Flame Domain?!”

“Yes, just for sightseeing, and I can help you gather information about your background while I’m at it~ Don’t ask me why I’m helping you; I’m not really helping you. It just happens to be beneficial for me, going with the flow.”

“No… that’s not the point! The point is that the Fire Dragon’s Flame Domain absolutely does not allow outsiders, let alone you being a Demon Princess. Do you know what it means if you step onto that land?!”

“It means the Demon Race’s invasion of High-Level Races?”

“You know that and yet…! Going there, no matter how many lives you have, it won’t be enough!”

“Hold on.”

Xue Fei was still sipping her morning tea, extending a finger and squinting at Timani.

“There’s always a way~ I don’t plan to go there recklessly, plus I’m the one going; why are you in such a hurry? Are you perhaps… worried about my safety?”

“That… that’s impossible!”

Timani huffed, shifting her gaze away, strongly denying “she was worried.”

After learning that the Demon Princess was that girl Shaya, Timani felt this person wasn’t that bad.

She provides me with food, clothing, and a place to stay… just like how my parents used to take care of me meticulously.

Timani just didn’t want to see someone who was good to her unnecessarily die in the Fire Dragon’s Flame Domain.

That place… seems prosperous and powerful, but is actually full of bloodshed and coldness.

However, at the same time, Timani understood she didn’t have the standing to stop Xue Fei.

Whatever she wants to do doesn’t need to ask for her consent.

In that case…

Then she really shouldn’t rush to leave.

“I need to confirm, are you really set on going?”

“Yes, I have some news to investigate; relying solely on hearsay isn’t reliable.”

“In that case, over the next two days… I’ll help you draw a map of the Fire Dragon’s Flame Domain. It might smooth your journey somewhat when you go, and if you encounter danger, you’ll know the fastest escape routes.”

“Hah… aren’t you essentially being an insider… cough! No, no, thank you!”

“No need…!”

This time, Timani swallowed the small biscuit in one gulp and finally had no more worries!

With this, Timani didn’t feel the need to rush to leave anymore.

But Xue Fei certainly didn’t have time to continue this morning chit-chat with her.

She woke up this early because she had other matters to attend to.

Seeing Xue Fei stand up, Timani frowned slightly and asked.

“What are you going to do…? Are you leaving now?”

“Not so fast! It’ll take a few days to get to your hometown. Don’t worry about it; go back and have your beauty sleep, um… I guess that should be called ‘dragon beauty sleep’?”

Xue Fei turned to the windowsill lit by the morning light.

Outside by the lake, in the distance, a jade-green girl was stepping forward.

“There’s still a troublesome Her Highness I need to meet…”

As the dignified first princess of the demon tribe, is it unreasonable to desire a quiet life, spending my days sipping tea and enjoying the view? Yet, my fellow demons incessantly urge me to engage in warfare, insisting I conquer enemy kingdoms. Who could tolerate such demands? I’ve had enough!! If they’re so eager for battles, why don’t they fight themselves? As someone who longs for peace as a reincarnated being, all I crave is to be lazy and sleep! Thankfully, a kind-hearted brave girl has offered me shelter at her home.
