Chapter 116: Chapter 115 What Kind of Person is Satan Ye?
The presents the elves gave Yila almost filled his room. As the elves mentioned, most of them were more symbolic than valuable. But... there were some inappropriate items mixed in.
However, Yila did not have time to look through them now. After asking the little fairy to bring the gifts to his room, he started chatting with the elves.
Basically, Yila talked about how he became the Governor after leaving the Silver Moon Tree Court and gradually gained more fame in the world. He also discussed why he came to the Demon King Territory.
This showed that Yila had quite a good personal relationship with everyone at the Silver Moon Tree Court.
"Yila, long time no see."
Looking at the graceful Elf Empress standing there and saying this, Yila nodded naturally and responded, "Long time no see, Princess Cassiopeia."
"It’s really nostalgic. The last time we met was a hundred years ago."
Cassiopeia seemed very sentimental about it, but these Eternal Species had a peculiar perception of time. Yila shook his head lightly, watching those other elves who had started talking with Youyou, and said, "But I’m only sixty this year."
So the "meeting a hundred years ago" couldn’t possibly be a real memory.
"Ah, is that so? Haha, maybe I remember wrong. But there’s not much difference between a hundred years and sixty years..."
Cassiopeia tilted her head as she said this, smiling in a carefree way that seemed as if Vera would say something similar. However, the biggest difference between her and Vera was—
You could obviously feel that Vera was making a joke on purpose, trying to be funny in a disconnected way. She could always think three steps ahead and knew what could disgust others and what was an absolute taboo.
For example, Vera would never joke in any way that belittled Yila’s dreams because she knew she would get beaten up for real, possibly even killed.
But Cassiopeia... she was genuinely clueless.
"You guys live so long, you don’t care about the passage of time. Let alone the gap between sixty and a hundred years, even a thousand and two thousand years mean nothing to you."
Yila seemed understanding. He said this while looking at Cassiopeia, who was following him. He added, "Let me take you to meet the Demon King. Hmm... Satan Ye is Favignano’s daughter. You should remember her, right?"
Yila said this while leading the way. Seeing Cassiopeia’s thoughtful expression, he said helplessly, "When we dealt with the corruption of the Spider Queen and the rebellion of the Elder Council, Favignano should have been helping too, right?"
Even so, Cassiopeia still seemed to be struggling to remember. She said, "I know, I just forgot what he looked like and what he did."
To this, Yila felt a bit helpless. He didn’t know Cassiopeia was so forgetful. He pointed to himself and said, "The one with the dragon horns, wearing a vest with a pendant, showing off his chest and abs."
With such a detailed description, Cassiopeia remembered immediately. She nodded decisively and said, "Oh, I remember. But back then, the Empire and the demons had already started fighting, right? Your relationship was unexpectedly good..."
Though indeed they had started fighting at that time, one could say they had temporarily teamed up with Favignano. It was hard for most people to imagine... that mortal enemies who fought to the death on the battlefield could get along during a break.
"Then, midway through dealing with the problem, he returned to his country early..."
Cassiopeia’s past memories were slowly coming back. After all, it wasn’t that she didn’t know, just that she needed time to dig up those useless memories. Perhaps all Eternal Species were like this.
"Yes, and the solutions he offered were things like ’catch and question each one’ or ’if the corruption doesn’t stop, beat them until it does.’"
Yila said this, reminiscing about the past. By the way... when he returned to the Empire after the break ended, and he mentioned this to Yose, Yose gave him a strange look.
Afterward, Yose said something like, "Lord Yila, you usually don’t get close to women, but could it be that you’re really... That’s a bit disgusting, oh~" Yila promptly hit Yose after that.
Those two were the strangest Kings Yila had ever met. Fortunately (?) they were already former kings. The kings of this world... really didn’t seem quite normal.
"By the way, what’s Satan Ye like?"
Cassiopeia asked this while following Yila up the steps of Demon King City. The elves were really quite trusting, letting their Empress follow Yila alone without a single guard.
This could be seen as extreme trust.
"You know what? Satan Ye asked me a similar question."
Yila said simply, clearly remembering how Satan Ye asked him what Cassiopeia was like, and he answered truthfully.
"Huh? She also asked you what she was like? Doesn’t she have a good judgment of herself?"
For the puzzled Cassiopeia, Yila shook his head and said, "No, what I meant by ’similar question’ was that Satan Ye asked me ’what Cassiopeia was like.’ She asked me that too."
"Hmm..."
Muttering in contemplation, Cassiopeia plucked a leaf from beside her crown and placed it on Yila’s head. She now had a curiosity of her own and asked, "So, how did you answer?"
More than asking what Satan Ye was like, she was now more curious about this.
"I said that there’s nothing worth learning from Cassiopeia. She became a king only because her last name is Iluvita. She doesn’t have any significant advantages compared to other elves."
Yila said this simply, and Cassiopeia pouted. Even a natural scatterbrain would get angry at such a statement, but she quickly calmed down.
"Ah, so mean~~"
Cassiopeia complained as if she was pouting... but it was the truth. It also showed that even for kings, the start was crucial. Different starts and national conditions would make Yila craft different lesson plans and use tailored teaching methods.
So, luck was indeed a factor.
*A certain Empress with the surname Iluvita, who wished to remain anonymous: So, the Empire... could be considered a nightmare start?*
