Chapter 557 - Wales City
"Well, if you put it that way, would you like to indulge yourself in the seven great sins?" Elena smiled meaningfully.
"Wha- Of course not! Just part of it, I didn't fall that far to have it all..." Sylvia put her fingers together in her confession.
"Hum-mm~" Elena didn't mention the topic anymore, but she teased Elysia in her mind. 'So, she is a virgin devil despite having lived hundreds of years.'
'What's wrong with that? Virginity is cool, remains pure.' Elysia responded almost instantly.
'Hehe, you say that as if you- Ah, never mind.' Elena swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Unfortunately, that had already been conveyed to Elysia's mind. She blushed a little. 'I'm good. I already have you.'
'Hehe thank you.' Elena chuckled, and a bubble of pleasure welled up from inside.
"Ah, have we arrived in the Wales City? This is faster than expected. Look at that big city! The one that stands tallest and majestic in the center is my father's palace." Sylvia pointed outside somewhat excitedly.
"Whoa, it's like a palace with an evil aura. A black palace with some red and white streaks. A dwelling fit for an evil Devil Emperor." Yuuki commented in a flat tone.
"Hey, don't talk carelessly, that snow fox over there! Although my father is known to be cold-blooded and can kill without blinking, he is a wise leader." Sylvia slapped the sofa in dissatisfaction.
"Ho? Is there a difference? Anyway, how are we going to get into that city? Are we going to come in invisibility or with publicity?" Yuuki rolled her eyes and immediately changed the topic of discussion.
"Of course, we will come blatantly like what we did in the Holy City!" Sylvia stood up and raised her hand high.
"Well then, we'll do that with the horse illusion again. But who wants to be a coachman?" Nell didn't mind that.
"I, I'll do it! That way no trouble will happen." Sylvia put her hand on her upper chest to volunteer. She then grabbed the nearby soul fox's arm. "Lynn, let's go to the coachman's seat with me."

"Oh, mm, you're right." Sylvia sat back down after looking at the window.
They landed a few moments later, and Nell turned her magic carpet into a dark horse using illusion magic.
Sylvia and Lynn immediately went to the coachman's seat, then the carriage came out of invisibility and moved closer to the city,
"Hm, I thought you would invite Yuuki instead of me, Sylvia." Lynn held the horse rein and started a small conversation.
"Not really. She's a bit annoying sometimes." Sylvia gave a small snort in reply.
"Is that so? You two actually seem quite familiar with each other. I feel a little jealous." Lynn smiled a little.
"You say that when you often come as Yuuki's ally. This can't be justified, I need an ally to ward off the foxkin intimidation. I need the powerful one. Can I convert Ely as my ally?" Sylvia put her hand to her chin in a low mumble.
"..." Lynn's fox ears twitched slightly at that. Even so, she didn't say anything and just looked ahead.
"Look, there are two devils flying towards us. Are they the city guards? Are they a snake and a bull?" Lynn pointed at the two black-and-red-armored devils in the distance.
"Eh? Oh, no, they're not city guards, but imperial guards. I don't think they came for us, they just happened to be heading this way. Let me say hello to them." Sylvia narrowed her eyes to see more clearly who was approaching. However, she did not recognize their identity because they were wearing helmets.
Sylvia then waited for a few seconds and called out to the two approaching devils. "Hey, you imperial guards over there. Come down here and say hello to this princess!"
"Oh, by the holy devil grace! That really is the Devil Princess!" One of the imperial guards was surprised. He slapped his partner's back with his serpent tail reflexively.
"Oh shit! But why did I receive your tail whip? It's a good thing I'm wearing this armor or peace is never an option." The other imperial guards grumbled.
"Stop whining like a crybaby devil. Let's go down or else the Devil Princess will sulk and report us to the Devil Emperor." The serpent-tailed imperial guard reprimanded his partner and lowered his altitude.
"But we're on a mission." The broad-horned imperial guard also came down.
"Fvck the mission! I don't want to know what might await us if the Devil Emperor finds out that we ignored his precious little princess's request. Our Lord might hang us dry!" The serpent-like imperial guard gripped his partner's armor.
"O-oh, alright." The broad-horned imperial guard stuttered slightly with cold sweat dripping down.
"Hey, I can hear you from down here, you know? Come down here quickly." Sylvia pursed her lips and folded her arms.
"Y-yes, milady!" The two imperial guards saluted and answered in unison. They then floated beside the carriage, which continued to advance.
"I came with my friends from a faraway land. Is my father in the palace? What about the Evil God?" Sylvia just let out a small snort and threw a few questions into something she wanted to know right away.
"Oh, an emissary from the demon fox tribe, but white? Lord Dylan is now in his palace. But, as for the latter... We don't know anything about the Evil God. His divine presence hasn't been seen since last week." The serpent-like imperial guard answered without delay.
"Hm, so that guy hasn't come back here yet, huh? This is great news. All right, now you may go and complete your mission." Sylvia chased the two imperial guards away with a shoo-hand gesture.
"Aye!" The two imperial guards saluted again then they flew away.
"Fufu, aren't they a bit stiff but cute towards you, Devil Princess? They seem to be afraid of you for something." Lynn covered her mouth in a light chuckle.
"I call it respected. No one dared to be disrespectful before me in my father's territory." Sylvia puffed out her chest slightly.
"Oh~" Lynn was able to interpret the hidden meaning of Sylvia's implied statement. So, it didn't refer to all parties, and some of them might be disrespectful behind Sylvia's back.
When the carriage arrived near the city gate, several city guards approached.
One of them then took a step forward and said his greeting. "Oh, it's you Devil Princess. It's rare enough for you to go out without your father's supervision."
"Hum, I came with my friends from a faraway land. Open the gate now. I need to see my father before anything else." Sylvia gave a slight nod and ordered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Open the gate! Devil Princess is back!" One of the city guards shouted at his comrade on duty on the other side.
*Clack* *Clack* *Bang*
The city gate opened like a two-way sliding door. The city guards then gave way by standing aside. They couldn't apply any procedures because the one who came was the favorite and most pampered daughter of the city owner.
"Hum, good job. Please go back to your duty." Sylvia waved her hand slightly, and the carriage entered the city.
"I don't know what to say, but your presence seems very special to the devils in this city. But, why didn't any of the guards ask us to show proof of identity like they do on other continents?" After crossing the city gate, Lynn expressed her amazement at the city guards' treatment of Sylvia.
"That's because it's Devil Continent. The devils in this city are familiar with my devil aura. So, they can already confirm my identity by sensing my distinctive aura. For anyone else, the guards will of course apply strict procedures." Sylvia shrugged her shoulders.
"All right, we'll go straight to the palace, right?" Lynn looked forward to observing the hustle and bustle of life in Devil Capital City.
At a glance, it was similar to her hometown on the Beastkin Continent. After all, some demons have a lot of resemblance with beastkin in some aspects. The most striking difference is that this city has many tall concrete buildings.
"Of course." Sylvia nodded. The sourc???? of this content is (f)ir(e).nᴇt
When the carriage passed through a fairly busy road, the devils immediately gave way voluntarily even though no guard told them to do so.
They just stood on the side of the road waiting for the Devil Princess to pass.
"Mama, it's Devil Princess Sylvia! Woah, did she have a new style by adding horns and wings and lizard tail accessories?" A little devil pointed at the carriage that had just passed.
"Yes, it is the Devil Princess. But, I think it is her demonic form, my child. It seems, it is more like a dragon than a lizard..." The mother immediately carried her little child and answered in a whisper.
"But, who's next to milady? Someone from the demon fox tribe? I wonder who's in that luxurious carriage."
"Eh, wait a moment. You stupid fool, I know the emblem on the carriage. That is the royal carriage of the Evroria Family, Soul Fox Clan! Our Devil Princess came with one of the royal families of the Beastkin Continent?"
Several murmurs and rumors immediately broke out among the townspeople. Even so, Sylvia paid no heed to them.
The journey to the Transcendent Palace's territory took about half an hour at the speed of a horse. There was no obstruction whatsoever. Even if they came without escort or guard.
Several imperial guards volunteered to escort Sylvia's group as they arrived near the palace gate.
