Chapter 640 Your People Look Fun
Inside Queen Elizabeth\'s throne room in the Demon Kingdom, the assembled Monarchs were nodding happily as they sensed how things were going through the thinned barrier between the worlds.
"It seems that your people are good hosts, everyone has been set up with a room and dinner is being prepared despite the short notice. The Elf Princess might be an issue, her people can be unpredictable, but the mana of your world should stop turning bestial with so many of our people gathered in one spot." The Queen informed Wolfe.
"Thank you for your assistance. They might not have noticed the change or the danger yet, but protecting them from it is my duty as the town\'s leader." Wolfe replied.
"Yes, that is an important duty. I must say that your village certainly appears to be interesting. I suspect that at least one of those beast kin will agree to come back here with our people. It should be quite the experience for them." The Queen agreed.
Wolfe chuckled. "I just hope that you can get all your assistants back. The town of Forest Grove is flooded with Fae magic, and in the middle of a pristine forest, it\'s quite relaxing. Without any duties other than being there to keep the balance, it might be the most relaxing vacation that they\'ve had in a long time."
The next Demon down the table tapped the oversized sword that he had chosen, drawing everyone\'s attention back to the situation at hand.
"Of course, we should finish with these before we go off-track, examining the world of the Magi." Queen Elizabeth joked, giving in to her counterpart\'s impatience to get back to making new toys for everyone.
With two Demon Royals helping, the weapons were a smooth process, activating one after another while the servants in the room tried to pretend that the continued aura of the high-level casting wasn\'t affecting them.
They were well-trained in the normal Palace situations, but having two of the Royals casting at their maximum output nearly continually for hours at a time wasn\'t quite a normal day for any servant.
Once the collection of weapons was finished, The Demon Royals relaxed and spent a few more minutes admiring their own handiwork before they decided to call it a night.
Although they were all eager to get going on their pet projects now that there was a Magi present to help them out, it would be bad manners to show up and leave on the same day, especially since not all the local Demon Nobles had arrived.
Until the majority of them were here, they couldn\'t even hold a proper welcoming party for the Queen\'s return, and it would be unthinkable to leave before that unless there was something urgent at home. Even then, it would be normal to finish it and come back for the party.
"Well then, I will see you all in the morning. I generally fly into the Palace just after dawn." Wolfe informed the Royals.
"You\'re not staying in the Palace?" King Memo asked.
"I have a suite in the Investigators\' apartments. They\'re quite comfortable, and the neighbours are understanding when I get a bit loud at strange hours of the day."
The Royals snickered at the implications of his phrasing, but didn\'t stop him when Wolfe went out to gather Rail and carry her back to the apartment building.
There would be plenty of questions to be answered in the morning, since every Demon in the city would have felt what was going on inside the palace, but none of them would know what it was or if it was hostile, but for that one night, they could just relax.
Or not.
When they arrived at the apartment, Chen and a few other coworkers were waiting on the balcony for them to return, eager to get all the details about what was going on in the Palace.
They hadn\'t felt any hostility, but there had been all sorts of powerful magic, and earlier they had felt the Queen\'s magic flare again, like she was still alive and in the Palace.
"Well, you are right on that part. The Queen is still alive. Or is alive again, depending on how you want to look at those sorts of things. Either way, she\'s healthy and sitting on the throne. The other Royals came to welcome her back, and then we did a bit of creative inscription work on some magical weapons.
There is more work to do tomorrow, but they helped rebuild the defensive spells over the Palace today, and enhanced the ones that I had already cast, so things should be even more safe than they were before. I think overall it was a good day for the Palace." Wolfe replied.
"Wait, back up, the Queen is alive? I\'m going to need some more details on that part of your story." One of the demons demanded as Wolfe finished his explanation.
"That part is confidential, but she\'s alive. Like, properly and truly alive. She will likely come to talk to everyone soon, and I understand that there will be a big party at the Palace soon as well. I\'m not sure if we\'re all invited, though.
I mean, I probably am, and a plus one is normal, but I\'m not sure who all else gets to go."
Chen giggled at his confusion.
"In a way, we all do. They declare a public holiday for that sort of event, and then we all party in the streets and pubs, while the high nobles party in the Palace. I think that our party is usually better, but you never know what they get up to in there." She explained.
Rail pointed toward the apartment. "We should get some sleep because I know that we\'re going to be called upon first thing in the morning to attend to the Royals, and then there are all the meetings, and whatever else they come up with before the party.
I\'m assuming that will be tonight, but it only starts when most of the nobles are in town, so if they\'re too slow, it might be the day after."
The other investigators gave her a suspicious look. "Why do you say that as if you\'re part of it?"
"Well, you heard the boss. Where he goes, I go. Plus, we\'ve already worked out a number of outfits." She replied with a smirk.
"You suck, you know that, right?"
"Very well, actually. Thank you for noticing."
