Capítulo 905: Chapter 820: People Drawn by the Enchanting Demon
Lady Xiafunie’s submission made Shane extremely satisfied.
Not only was he satisfied with the woman’s compromise, but he was also pleased to have finally found a way to control her.
Before this, due to the woman’s allure being overwhelmingly captivating, Shane found himself constantly teased and toyed with, regaining some sense of achievement only when asserting his masculine pride, otherwise, he was completely under her sway.
This time, the witch finally submitted, representing not only a victory but a significant milestone.
Besides, the woman obediently promised not to go out causing trouble or drawing attention, leaving Shane extremely satisfied with the outcome.
However, Shane was unaware that Xiafunie’s presence in the Human Realm had a much greater impact than he imagined.
…
At this moment, it was only an hour since Shane brought Xiafunie from the Southeast District Commercial Street, and the chaos subsided.
Yet, in a mere hour, the news of Enchanting Demon Xiafunie’s appearance in the Royal Capital spread swiftly and widely.
Many dignitaries from foreign countries, alien races, and alien forces who had come to the Royal Capital received this news.
Among these people, there were quite a few who reacted intensely.
“You say Lady Enchanting Demon is now in the Royal Capital?”
A king from a nation abruptly stood up from his place of rest, his face full of ecstasy.
“Where is Her Highness? Where!?”
A legendary-level powerhouse who traveled a long distance grabbed one of his informers, eagerly shouting.
“Her Highness was taken by the Hero from the Beizut Family?”
A family head of the Great Nobles learned about this matter, and without a second thought, left his residence immediately.
“Go!”
“Go!”
“Go!”
Various figures of different statuses, upon learning of Xiafunie’s whereabouts, did not hesitate and began to take action.
Their destination was strikingly consistent, the Beizut Family.
Although they came from different places, they shared a common characteristic.
That is, by various strokes of luck, they had all seen Xiafunie in the Human Realm.
In other words, these people had long been admirers of Xiafunie.
Thus, they appeared in the streets in groups, either riding in carriages or traveling on foot, heading toward the center of the Noble District.
Even the nobles within the Royal Capital were no exception, with many of them taking action.
These people knew that recently, many have attempted to visit the Count of Beizut, hoping to establish a connection with the Hero.
But they were rational, knowing they wouldn’t be able to meet Shane, and therefore restrained themselves or, for various reasons, did not intend to become close with Shane.
These people had previously been mocking those who were turned away, even looking down on them, proud of not being among them.
However, this attitude vanished completely after learning that Xiafunie was taken by Shane.
Thus, a far larger crowd than before began converging towards the Beizut Family.
This news quickly reached the Royal Palace.
…
In the Royal Palace, King’s bedroom.
Anxi frowned deeply as he read the report, his brow furrowed with worry.
Beside him, Luoqi, Liya, Aridia, and even Shanai observed this scene, each of them frowning deeply as well.
Especially Liya, whose face was filled with deep concern.
She held a parchment in her hand, looking at the reported matter, speaking in a low voice.
“Are there really so many notable figures taking action because of one Enchanting Demon?”
Liya’s words carried a hint of disbelief.
There was no way.
“Located east of the Human Realm, with military power second only to the Ragnar Empire and our Mitra Kingdom, the Magic Country Lala Bay’s King—Misji Larabai.”
“The second-ranking combat ethnicity tribe of the Beastman Race, where only powerful tribes like Werewolves, Tiger-men, Pigmen, and Leopard-men can join, led by the Tiger Man Clan Leader—Nobu.”
“A renowned continent legendary knight who declared retirement twenty-five years ago, no longer concerning himself with affairs—Joseph.”
“And also high-level figures, nobles, legendary-level powerhouses from various countries, races, and forces, all admirers of Her Highness Enchanting Demon, are now gathering towards the Beizut Family?”
Liya truly didn’t want to believe her eyes, nor her ears.
Reason told her this was an impossible situation.
Because, each of these figures are individuals who can decide the future of a nation, a race, or a force.
They do not belong to the same level as those who previously gathered at the Beizut Family, merely wishing to establish ties with the Hero.
If all these people were to gather, they could even determine the future direction of the Human Race, causing all individuals except the Divine Race and Demon Clan to tremble in fear.
This time, they have come to participate in the three race talks, ready to appear at the conference table of the discussions between the three clans.
Even without that status or position, each is a pillar of a country, a race, or even a force.
Among them, there are some legendary figures, famous throughout the continent, known only by name but never seen in person.
Such a group of individuals who could shake the Human Realm simply by stomping their feet, now all gathered for Chafne, abandoning restraint and status, all heading towards the Beizut Family, which makes Liyah find it hard to believe upon hearing.
But these are evidently facts.
“What I feared the most has happened.”
Anxi sighed with deep worry.
“…”
Aridia also rarely furrowed his brows with a grave expression.
Even Luoqi knew that this time, things might be escalating.
“If such high-level figures gather and are still turned away, then resentment against the Beizut Family, or even against the Kingdom, is very likely to happen, right?”
Luo Qi said blandly.
“That’s right.” Anxi nodded heavily, saying, “Even for our Mitra Kingdom, facing such a force feels insignificant.”
Let’s not mention, just considering the Magic Country Lala Bay, whose military strength ranks third among all the human countries, equal to that of the Mitra Kingdom, it does not differ much even compared to the Ragna Empire.
In this country, the strongest force is not the Knight Order but the Magic Corps.
As a Magic Country, mages in this nation are numerous and generally very strong.
The Thunderclap Division, which Lala Bay takes pride in, consists of ninety-nine mages above Level 70, with the leader being a famous Legendary Great Mage, whose level reaches ninety-seven, proficient in using fire, thunder magic, and storm system magic, once deployed hundreds of large-scale annihilation magic of terrifying power in the battlefield, annihilating tens of thousands of enemy soldiers in just five minutes.
If the prosperity of the Ragna Empire and Mitra Kingdom comes from royal and emperor family members who are descendants of the brave, the Magic Country Lala Bay is the only nation within human forces that rose through native power.
Just this one country, the Mitra Kingdom may not necessarily be able to confront, let alone those leading figures of big forces and the renowned strong individuals.
Still that saying, Mitra Kingdom is strong as it is, it remains just one of the countries within humans of the Human Race.
Facing so many key figures of different human forces at once, even the Mitra Kingdom would find it overwhelming.
“Is the Enchanting Demon Lord really that beautiful?”
Shanai also found it hard to believe, so many renowned individuals acted merely for the name “Chafne”.
Anxi’s expression grew increasingly bitter.
“You don’t understand, this is Enchanting Demon Xiefuni.”
These few words succinctly represented the immense allure of that unparalleled demoness.
If it hadn’t reached such an exaggerated extent, why would history see so many heroes, outstanding figures, and emperor kings pass away unfulfilled?
Anxi could foresee the emergence of a major conflict.
“Father.” Liyah too expressed concern, saying, “Why not let Shane meet those great figures, or simply persuade Lady Xiafunie to make an appearance?”
Liya was already considering possible solutions.
She was genuinely worried that Shane would be resolute again in refusing any visits.
In doing so, Shane himself wouldn’t be afraid, with both the Demon Clan and Divine Race supporting him, others wouldn’t dare proceed recklessly, but the Mitra Kingdom might be affected by resentment, potentially impacting its standing in the Human Realm.
That’s something Liyah didn’t want to see.
However…
“This can’t solve the problem.” Anxi sighed, saying, “As long as Lady Xiafunie remains here, conflict will arise regardless.”
What happened in the commercial street already clearly showed everyone this point.
That is, for Chafne, even the most rational individuals might act impulsively.
Jealousy and rivalry, conflict will never be in short supply.
With allure reaching Chafne’s magnitude, even the mere mention of a name or a meeting could trigger disputes.
Therefore, even if Shane wished to meet those people, it wouldn’t help.
After all, wishing to meet and actually meeting, who would meet first?
Surely they can’t all meet together?
And it’s easy to imagine how fiercely those who went forward for the chance to meet would compete.
Anyhow, Anxi couldn’t see a peacefully resolved future for this situation.
