"Ryan, hey Ryan. We can't stand here like this. We have to move forward."
"Huuh! I'm very scared after seeing these scenes. The Demon Lord's loyalists chasing our demons like this means that the other demons in our realm don't exist naturally. They are in great danger. Besides, my parents are imprisoned in the Demon Lord's prison. How are they, how are they? I don't even know what the brutal Demon Lord is keeping. I'm lost in those fantasies. An unknown fear is shaking inside my chest."
"You should not be disappointed like this at this time. You have to have a lot of courage in your chest. You have to have the strength to accept everything."
"Hmm, you're right. But my mind doesn't agree. Well, let's go ahead."
They turned back and started moving forward. They could see the huge white palace of the Demons from that hill. And around it there are several small palaces. The surrounding buildings are much smaller than the main palace.
"Ryan whose little palaces are these? Who lives here."
"Umm! When my father was the king here, there were no small buildings around the palace. Now that they are here, it means that they are the hideouts of evil demons. Created for them by their god, the Demon Lord."
"Maybe. Then we have to be more careful if we want to enter the palace. We can't enter the palace directly. We have to adopt a special way."
Ryan was surprised. He did not understand what Xenia was saying.
"Special way! What is that way?"
"Umm, yes. We won't be able to enter the palace in our original form. If we go in front of them in our original form, they will be suspicious. That suspicion could bring us great danger."
Ryan was surprised at first to hear what Xenia said, but later he realized that Xenia was right. But he doesn't understand how Xenia would do that? He told Xenia what was in his heart.
"Well, how can you disguise herself and enter the palace? I am very afraid."
Hahaha.
Xenia smiled at Ryan's words.
"Why do you worry? I have prior experience in disguise. If we are careful, no one will know our true identity."
Ryan's face was still worried. He does not understand how Xenia can do such a big thing.
"Well Xenia, even if the two of us try to sneak into the palace, the demons will suspect us. And that suspicion will turn into danger."
Xenia ran her hand through her own hair. At times she gently pressed her finger against the inside of her mouth with her teeth and thought.
"But you're right. The two of us can't sneak into the palace. Let me think about what to do."
Xenia fell deeper into thought.
"Umm, yes. Got a nice way."
"What way?"
"Yes, the demons that passed through here a little while ago will definitely come back this way. And they will enter the palace. If we hide our true form and blend into their group, we can easily enter the palace. And someone above us. Can't doubt it. Now we just have to wait for them to come."
Huh!
Ryan let out a loud sigh of relief.
"Wow! Xenia, you have a lot of intelligence. I can't praise your intelligence enough. You are really very clever. You can solve complex problems with your intelligence. I also fell in love with your wonderful intelligence."
Hahaha.
"Don't say anything."
"That's right."
" Well, it is not advisable to delay here any longer. We can go to the small palace ahead and hide in a secret place without joining their party here. Because if we join their party from here, they will suspect us because of the large number. And in the locality If they go and we join the party, they will think that some demon from the locality has joined their party. So no more danger will come upon us."
The more he sees, the more he marvels at Xenia's intelligence. This time he was surprised but excited and happy on his face.
"So what can we do now?"
"Let's move forward."
They descended from the high slope to the lower plain and started moving forward.
Darkness fell around. The atmosphere seems strange and desolate. Silence all around. It doesn't seem like a mysterious world where night falls very quietly. It is very difficult to imagine.
As they continued, they came very close to the locality.
From a distance, two medium-sized mountains stood tall on either side of the entrance to the place.
As they got closer, they noticed that there was a bush under a hill between the two hills.
Although the bushes are not thick, two or three people can easily hide inside it. There is no fear of being noticed.
"Found us a safe place to hide."
"Where?" Ryan asked in surprise.
Xenia went to the bush at the bottom of the hill without saying anything.
"Here it is. Here we can easily wait for those daemons. And join them as soon as they arrive."
Ryan moved the bush with his hand to examine it better.
Then he saw a strange thing. What he saw, the courage inside his mind increased. The fear that was inside his mind was gone.
Xenia saw it too. Although not attractive to Xenia, Ryan was excited to see it.
Meanwhile, Dragia is sitting on Xenia's neck as a silent creature. Earlier she used to jump a lot. But since she came into this world, she has been silent. She doesn't say anything.
"Dragia, what do you say? How about this?"
Dragia seemed to move a little after so long.
"Good, very good. What you do will be very good for us all."
