Y'zaks heard Hao Ren muttering and asked, "What does it mean?"
Hao Ren laughed awkwardly and said, "It's unlucky for you to say that. There was a king said so and ended up killed by his own son and the country had perished."
Y'zaks immediately realized that this guy had started talking nonsense again and just ignored him.
The young Y'lisabet turned her head to look at the adults around her, and then sighed maturely and said, "Sigh… An able man is always busy. I thought I could go back to the life when I don't have to worry about anything and have plenty of time to play, who knows dad decided to quit."
So Hao Ren never doubted if this little girl could understand Y'zaks' words. He knew it the moment he met her. This seemingly underage girl was actually smart. How could an ordinary child pretend to be a mad demon king and take control of the situation?
Y'zaks entrusted the future of Helcrown to his trusted successor. In the two or three hundred years before Y'lisabet reached adulthood, the city was led by his most trusted old housekeeper and the most seniority old veteran in the demon king legion, Zadamor, and assisted by Lanina. On the day of Y'lisabet coronation, the demon empire would have a new demon queen. When Hao Ren thought of it, he could not help looking at Y'lisabet up and down: How could a normal person expect that this little girl who was less than 1.3 meter was actually a crown princess!
Y'lisabet noticed Hao Ren's eyes, immediately jumped and said, "I'm very smart! Don't underestimate me…"
Y'zaks put his big hand on the little girl's head and said, "You have a lot to learn. From now on, you have to work hard to be a crown princess. I have planned your future study plan. Knowledge of culture, history, and magic are basic courses. You have to add one more hour of basic fencing practice every day. You have a weak physique, but as a demon, you must exercise more. At least a healthy body can support your use of great magic. Lanina will give you military lessons, and Zadamor will teach you the internal affairs, and Uncle Gordon will teach you the mechanics of magic. By the way, I have to get Uncle Hammer to prepare a set of learning materials for you. The engineering knowledge you learn previously is too unsystematic and must be strengthened. Oh yes, you have to learn the cultural history of the elves of Aerym. You'll be Queen in the future, diplomatic things..."
Y'zaks quickly planned his daughter the study plan for the whole day, totally did not consider this study plan would need 32 hours a day to complete. Y'lisabet's face turned pale and burst into tears. She then was digging a hole in the ground with her hands while crying and said, "Don't stop me, don't stop me, let me dig a hole to bury myself."
Hao Ren pulled up the little girl and kicked Y'zaks in the shins (he could not reach a higher place). "Is there a father like you? Oh, it seems to be quite a lot fathers like you... But you just go too far!"
When Y'lisabet saw Hao Ren was helping her, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and hid behind him and said, "Uncle Ren is so good ..."
Hao Ren stared at her and corrected her, "It's Uncle Hao!"
"Oh, and Uncle Hao!"
Then, Y'zaks said seriously, "I'm training my successor. It's not easy to be a demon king. When I was…"
"You took 100 years to learn a magic skill. Uncle Gordon had told me that. And Uncle Hammer said you are a fool because you would plug the fuse into the boiler heat valve," Y'lisabet stuck her little head out and said, "Why demon king has to learn this? This is what you said."
Y'zaks, "…"
Nangong Wuyue laughed and said, "Okay okay, you can teach her slowly. Y'lisabet will only be crowned when she reaches 600 years old. She will have plenty of time to learn those in two to three hundred years."
"Do you have experience in educating children?" Y'zaks was not convinced.
Nangong Wuyue pulled Lil Pea from Ho Ren's arm and said, "I can make a fish learn to speak human language in two months, you wanna try?"
Lil Pea patted her tail vigorously and shouted at Y'zaks, "You wanna try? You wanna try?" Sometimes the little one would repeat the last few words.
"Anyway, I don't want to stay in Helcrown for classes." Y'lisabet found there were lots of people supporting her, she immediately had the confidence to asked, "Or let me go with dad to stay in Uncle Ren's house? Dad, you said you want me to learn more new things right? I think Uncle Ren's world is more interesting than Helcrown."
"It's Uncle Hao…"
"Oh, and Uncle Hao!"
Y'zaks was a little hesitated. But to be frank, it was not easy for him to see his daughter, how could he really willing to leave the little girl here? Although it did not take much time to get from the Earth to the new planet of Aerym, the distance of more than 800 light-years was enough for him to miss his daughter. And he decided to let Y'lisabet accept the education of being a crown princess was because he felt uneasy of suddenly giving up the throne. He was eager to let his child bear the national expectations. After all, he was a demon king with a strong sense of responsibility.
Vivian could read Y'zaks mind. She patted Y'lisabet on the head and said, "This girl is finally with you. Just let her spend some time on Earth, also let her see the world. Regarding education, she can learn from you."
"As the crown princess…"
Hao Ren squinted at him and said, "If you keep giving excuses then we're really leaving without her."
Y'zaks immediately change his mind and said, "…it's necessary for her to gain some experience…"
"…"
They stayed another day on the new Aerym planet to arrange a lot of things to ensure the smooth development of settlement of Helcrown. At the same time, Y'zaks also completed his 'funeral arrangements'— it sounded very inauspicious, but since he did not mind kept mentioning 'you will be crowned queen', then there was nothing to worry about.
Hao Ren led his gang of friends to stroll around the new city of the Aerym elves. The last time they left this place, there were only a bunch of shanty towns and a jumble of tools stacked on plains and wilderness. Just a few months later, they had built towns that began to take shape. At least there were basic gathering points and workshop facilities. I have to say that people who have experienced difficulties are capable of taking action. Lily could finally have a good time there. Hao Ren's dimensional pocket was packed with at least half a ton of crap and more than half of it was collected by Lily from all kinds of corners...
Before leaving, Hao Ren left a set of special devices for the elves of Aerym.
It was a set of simple teleportation device that did not need to be maintained, just like the one in Hao Ren's basement.
"This teleportation device is for you. Helcrown also has one set. It can send you directly to a place called Kuiper station. If there is an emergency, I can go there to meet you. In addition, if you apply in advance, you can also use it to teleport to my home, but better don't use it this way freely as it's considered as official teleportation."
"I understand," said Hilda as she quickly ordered the device to be properly kept. "I will send someone to set up a special facility to accommodate this important device, which will be placed at the highest level of security in the Royal district."
"... Not so serious, I put it in the basement," said Hao Ren.
Hilda nodded and said, "I'm also talking about the basement."
It turned out that there was no common topic between a queen and a landlord.
After arranging everything, they went back to the Petrachelys and set foot on the journey back to Earth.
Lanina stayed in Helcrown for the time being. As one of the few intelligent talents of Y'zaks, the demon girl could not leave now, but she was sure to travel frequently between the Earth and the new Aerym planet. She had to serve as a liaison bridge between the old demon king (Y'zaks) and the Helcrown. After all, after Y'zaks abdicated, there were still a lot of things to be done slowly.
Y'lisabet entered the spaceship happily. The little girl was looking forward to the upcoming life on Earth.
