Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 5 Thalia Was Hungry All Day



Chapter 5 Thalia Was Hungry All Day
The breeze under the night sky, with the fragrance of flowers and the freshness of vegetation, gently brushed past the front of the frontier library.

The moonlight falling on the stone steps became soft, like the sound of the piano of time, making the scattered passers-by on the street want to stop and listen.

Talia sat motionless on the steps outside the library.

Until the sky darkened a little bit.

With the heavy door of the library being pushed open, Lan Qi finally walked out of the library with a code in his hand.

Although Talia turned her back to Lan Qi, she turned her head slightly at this moment, obviously sensing Lan Qi.

"Eh?"

Lan Qi was slightly surprised to see this familiar figure, and walked quickly to her side,
"You've been waiting here for me?"

Lan Qi was quite leisurely, so he simply sat not near or far from her.

"After receiving your reward, I will naturally do things for you."

Talia said blankly.

Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the "Hutton Kingdom Law Code" in Lan Qi's hand.

She didn't know what book Lan Qi focused on reading before staying in the library all day.

Now she finally knows the answer.

This guy probably wants to be a lawyer or a judge.

It is indeed a very well-behaved kind of human being.

"You... didn't eat lunch?"

Lan Qi looked at Talia, who was as dignified and quiet as a statue, and realized that she was probably still hungry because she stayed here all day.

She strictly abides by the content of the transaction more strictly than she imagined. Maybe this is the pride of the demon royal family?
"..."

Thalia didn't speak, just looked at Lan Qi with a little unhappy eyes.

It seems that Lan Qi's words have been acquiesced.

"Uh... I just happen to be preparing for dinner, shall we go together?"

Lan Qi paused in embarrassment and smiled foolishly.

"No need, I will leave when you return to the mansion."

Talia stood up, as if she was telling Lan Qi with her actions: Since you are going back to the mansion, you should leave quickly.

She will not accept gratuitous kindness from humans.

"Today was my mistake. In the future, I will definitely tell you how long I will stay here."

Lan Qi explained sincerely, with apologies in his words,

"So let me treat you to dinner as compensation."

However, Thalia just stood there indifferently, as if she didn't hear Lan Qi's words.

"We have the best cook in town at our house,"

"He is good at the unique flavor of this southern Wantina border, and he will use the best selected ingredients to make it,"

"Guaranteed to be unavailable in other city-states,"

"There are also the most high-grade cheese and mango mille crepe, mocha hazelnut crispy egg tart, platinum strawberry mousse cake..."

"..."

Listening to Lan Qi's chattering words.

The corners of Talia's eyes seemed to be slightly moved, but then she frowned.

"No."

Thalia said coldly, turned her head to the side, not looking at Lan Qi, and walked down the steps without waiting.

Just now, Lan Qi's words lingered in her ears.

Like the whisper of the devil, full of temptation.

She didn't know why, but at that moment, she had an illusion as if she had passed away——

It seems that there is a great demon strategist beside me, if he can get his whole heart and soul, he will definitely help him restore the country...

wrong.

This human youth, who should obviously belong to the kind and lawful camp, has nothing to do with those of her kind.

really.Or his long-cherished desire to restore the country is too strong.

That's why it's such a ridiculous illusion.

"it's a pity."

Lan Qi stood up, patted the dust on his pants, held the thick kingdom code in one hand, and followed neatly with a smile on his face.

Although Thalia is still so indifferent, after all, she is such a character.

But Lan Qi discovered one thing intentionally or unintentionally.

He still remembers seeing at work that Thalia is an extremely self-disciplined character.

She has maintained a strict diet and spiritual practice that includes waking up early, jogging, meditating and taking cold showers.

but.

Lan Qi, who is Talia's "mother", clearly remembers that a detail was mentioned in a paragraph in the very corner of the copy——

[She abstained from sweets, and when she had the rare opportunity for dessert, she allowed herself only the best. 】

This is a very subtle detail.

Lan Qi couldn't help but have serious doubts about this:
Could it be that Thalia may be a hidden foodie, but is afraid of falling into her appetite?

The biggest weakness of demons is that they have too strong desires, and sometimes more evil demons see through their desires and induce them, which will make them crazy.

The higher the Demon Race, the more they know how to restrict and hide their desires.

Lan Qi smiled silently in his heart.

So demons are really interesting.

……

The sky in the border city-state has turned dark again.

Lan Qi's house looked extraordinarily bright under the night, and the crystal lamps in the courtyard and the windows radiated bright lights.

On the second floor of the mansion, in the spacious and elegant study room, sat a majestic middle-aged man. His temples had turned a little gray, but his leadership-like temperament remained undiminished.

He was wearing an exquisite quaint suit, with every corner neatly trimmed, showing a rigorous demeanor.

He is Lan Qi's father and the owner of this family - Noe.

Beside him, the butler was pouring tea for him.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching outside the door.

After a while, the door of the study opened slowly.

A young man with black hair and green eyes appeared at the door, looking a little puzzled.

He had just returned home from the library after dinner, and before he had time to go back to the bedroom to put down the law code in his hand, he was summoned to the study on the second floor by a maid.

"You came."

Noel leaned back on the chair behind the desk and looked at Lan Qi.

It seems that Lan Qi has been waiting for Lan Qi in the study for a long time.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were looking for me today."

Lankey responded methodically.

Noe nodded.

He had thought that Lan Qi would come home late.

Unexpectedly, Lan Qi would walk in with a copy of the "Hutton Kingdom Law Code" with the logo of the frontier library in his hand.

I thought this guy would get drunk again and come back, but instead he went to the library to read.

Although Noel couldn't figure out why it was the code for a while.

But at the current glance, Lan Qi actually looks like a dignified priest or scholar.

Faintly, there is the slightest aura of a judge in charge of life and death.

Immediately, Noel squeezed the space between his eyebrows.

Obviously it's just my own illusion.

My own son of a dandy has nothing to do with the clergy.

It is a blessing not to be abducted by the cult.

Sometimes he was really worried that Lan Qi would be bewitched by those cultists.

In the worst case, they may even become fanatics and believe in those evil bishops who are like natural disasters.

Fortunately.

Noel was sure that Lan Qi would never have the guts to provoke those guys who were darker than black.
