On Nika Island's streets, the main road leading to the royal palace was far more congested than usual, with various vehicles unique to the Demon Realm moving sluggishly.

Although traffic was nearly paralyzed, the atmosphere on the streets was unusually lively and bustling, filled with festive noise and excitement everywhere.

Many demons stopped in their tracks, eyes glued to the screen, watching the situation unfolding in the square in front of the royal palace through a giant screen suspended between buildings.

On the screen, Princess Hyberia was covering her forehead, her shoulders trembling slightly, her expression unreadable.

"Look, the princess can't hold it in anymore. She's about to laugh. She can't keep up the act."

The demons were amazed by how quickly the princess had seen off the blood clan detective, Earl Sergio.

Moreover, her hands were clean. She had no intention of harming the blood clan detective. The blood clan detective went mad on his own.

But in reality, everyone knew that the princess must have been the one who acted!

Lysandra, sitting in the car and looking outside, was also full of questions.

Could it be that the princess was acting yesterday?

She had been worried about the princess just now, thinking that this test was full of dangers, but she didn't expect the princess to be so steady in reality.

No, the princess looks like she's choking back tears, not secretly laughing at all!

Lysandra knew the princess all too well.

After thinking about it, Lysandra decided not to dwell on it anymore. It was good as long as the matter had passed, and she could chat with the princess slowly later.

As the sky barrier above Nicalis slowly dissipated, the eclipse gradually ended, and the Demon Realm's sky began to usher in the dawn.

She breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in her seat.

The stars in the sky gradually faded, giving way to the rising sun, bringing a long-lost warmth and brightness to this mysterious world through loose clouds.

At this moment, the color of the sky completely changed from deep purple to warm orange-yellow, and the entire Nika Island was shrouded in a soft glow.

Nearby buildings, originally darkened by the sky barrier, instantly brightened, and the shadows of the night were replaced by pillars of light. The buildings, sculptures, and stone pillars in the square became more three-dimensional and detailed, and the Demon Realm flowers seemed to awaken in Lan Fu's singing, their branches and leaves swaying gently in the breeze, making rustling sounds.

The cheerful melody echoing in the streets at this time matched Lysandra's mood.

Lanky was still stuck in traffic, but he was about to take Lysandra to the royal palace.

The rising sun in the sky reappeared, and the bright air, coupled with the sweet voice of the poet of love, revitalized the entire Nicalis.

"Miss Lan Fu's singing is really so good. I wish I could meet her."

Lysandra looked excited and sighed sincerely.

Rumor has it that the voice of this Demon Realm diva can stir the soul and even suffocate demons in the past. Today, after finally hearing her voice, Lysandra is convinced that she will soon become a big star in the Demon Realm.

However, this Demon Realm diva has always been very mysterious.

While Miss Lan Fu's own strength is important, there must be capital behind her desperately promoting her, which has led to her unstoppable explosion in popularity recently.

"McCarthy, what's wrong?"

Lysandra looked at McCarthy's expression, which was a little stiff. The veins on his forehead were trembling slightly. It seemed that this song reminded him of some unforgettable memories.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered my uncle."

Lanky quickly recovered, shook his head, and answered, pinching his eyebrows.

Perhaps the sunlight after sunrise was too dazzling, so he took out a pair of sunglasses from the drawer and put them on his face with one hand.

"..."

Something's definitely going on.

Lysandra thought to herself as she saw Lanky's sad state at the moment.

"Don't be sad. Your uncle in another world must also hope that you can be happy every day and love life."

Lysandra comforted him.

"Yes."

Lanky nodded, his eyes drooping, and responded with relief.

He drove the car and slowly took Lysandra to a street not far from the royal palace.

"You can't park near here anymore. I can only drop you off here."

Finally, he parked the car on the side of the road and turned his head to say to Lysandra.

"Thank you very much, Mr. McCarthy!"

Lysandra thanked him sincerely.

"Then I'll see you tomorrow."

Lanky raised his hand gently, waving his palm to say goodbye to her.

"Tomorrow?"

Lysandra tilted her head.

Could it be that she can hitch another ride tomorrow?

Lanky took out a box of pastries from the food box and handed it to Lysandra.

Lysandra was slightly stunned and did not take it immediately.

Of course, she knew that this was a high-end dessert from McCarthy's shop.

Generally speaking, being so nice to girls and trying to please them can easily lead to misunderstandings, but Lysandra knew very well that McCarthy definitely didn't have feelings for her, because his mind was so simple that sometimes he would write his thoughts directly on his face.

She definitely couldn't finish such a box by herself, so she had to share it.

"Desserts for you and the princess."

Lanky confessed to her.

"Do you know the princess!"

Lysandra asked in surprise.

At this moment, she finally understood why McCarthy was so nice to her, and why McCarthy had been so fascinated by the princess before.

Many things seemed to be connected.

Of course, Lysandra believed that McCarthy was not taking advantage of her, because she could feel that he sincerely regarded herself as a friend. Even without such a position, Lysandra believed that if she encountered any difficulties, McCarthy would definitely enthusiastically help her solve them, just like yesterday he treated Miss Tia with such a sincere attitude that he quickly moved Tia.

"Of course."

Lanky still admitted.

"I see."

In this inadvertent moment, Lysandra exclaimed,

"This coincidence is too bizarre."

She murmured to herself.

"This is not a coincidence."

However, Lanky calmly retorted in a low voice.

Before Lysandra could open her mouth to ask.

She understood that the reason why McCarthy bought that palace restaurant was simply because Princess Hyberia lived across the bay.

He originally hoped that Hyberia would attend his banquet one night, but the princess never went.

Then he began to inadvertently ask the demons about the princess.

It wasn't until later that he learned that the princess was locked up by the Fallen Lord because of repeated failed escapes, and it was impossible for her to leave the palace at all.

This revelation enlightened Lysandra.

It turned out that on this night of July, what he was staring at was not just the stars in the sky.

In Lysandra's heart, his image suddenly became full, no longer the Demon Realm tycoon who squandered his wealth to win over the Demon Realm dignitaries.

His purpose was simpler than she imagined countless times.

It was only for the most gentle woman he wanted to meet.
