Actually, Shien had another similar token.
It was the royal token Lucy had given him.
Shien had used this royal token to show off quite a bit before.
Because seeing the token was like seeing royalty in person.
As long as he held the royal token, Shien was equivalent to a representative of the royal family. Even dukes, who were related to the royal family, had to treat him with courtesy when they saw it.
The Duke Strimm family was quite arrogant, right?
They had sealed off the entire Cosmos, not allowing anyone to freely enter or exit, not even earls, marquises, or other high-ranking nobles. Wasn’t that overbearing?
But as soon as Shien took out the royal token, those guarding the city had to obediently let him in.
If it were just Shien’s viscount title, they definitely wouldn’t have let him in.
This showed the authority represented by the royal token.
Holding this token, no noble in the Royal Capital dared to act arrogantly in front of Shien.
Such tokens were only possessed by direct descendants of the royal family. Collateral branches weren’t even qualified to hold them. In the entire kingdom, only Ancil, Lia, and Lucy each had one. One could imagine how precious and esteemed they were.
Lucy had given such a token to Shien, originally intending for him to protect Diere on her behalf. If their relationship hadn’t developed to this point, Lucy would definitely have taken the token back one day.
But now, Shien had become Lucy’s fiancé. They were engaged in front of all the high-ranking human officials, and they would definitely get married in the future. Lucy didn’t intend to take the token back.
Therefore, Shien still wore the royal token, keeping it with his noble crest, hanging around his neck and hidden under his clothes, carrying it with him at all times.
And now, Airi had also given Shien a token, telling him that with this token, he could accomplish most things in the Demon Realm.
What did this mean?
It meant that this was very likely a token symbolizing the identity of a Demon Lord.
If the significance of the royal token was that holding it was equivalent to royalty being present, allowing the holder to be seen as a representative of the royal family, then holding a Demon Lord’s token, did it mean that holding it was equivalent to the Demon Lord being present, allowing the holder to be seen as a representative of that Demon Lord?
If that were the case, then Shien could indeed walk sideways in the Demon Realm.
No, not just in the Demon Realm.
One must know that whether in the Divine Realm or the human world, Demon Lords were synonymous with terror.
Holding a Demon Lord’s token, if it were equivalent to the Demon Lord being present, then even members of the God Race and the human race would have to accommodate Shien, not daring to offend him.
With it, Shien could even command demons to do his bidding. It was practically like holding a get-out-of-jail-free card.
No wonder Lid and Lucy reacted so strongly.
“Really giving this to me?” Shien asked uncertainly, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll misuse it?”
The answer to this question was obvious.
“Of course, I’m afraid.” Airi said without hesitation, “Who knows what kind of trouble you’ll cause?”
Clearly, Airi knew how troublesome Shien could be sometimes.
But there was nothing she could do. Why did she have to fall in love with a troublesome Hero who was about ten thousand years younger than her, a thousand years after the war ended?
“Although I’m afraid of the trouble you might cause, I’m even more afraid of you being bullied.” Airi snorted, “Just take it and use it however you want.”
This was the greatest degree of indulgence.
At that moment, Shien didn’t act coy.
“Alright.” Shien readily accepted the token, “I’m not afraid of being bullied, but with this, I can definitely bully a lot of people.”
Since that was the case, why not?
Of course, hearing Shien’s words, Airi felt a momentary pang of regret.
This scoundrel, wouldn’t he really cause some irreparable trouble?
Forget it, she shouldn’t think about it. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. It was better not to give herself a chance to regret it.
“Then…” Airi looked at Shien, her tone somewhat complicated, “I’m leaving.”
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Shien also put away his smile.
However, he had already come to terms with it.
Shien’s ability to adapt was very strong; he wouldn’t be devastated by a mere separation.
Besides, it wasn’t like she was leaving forever. Why be so dramatic?
So, Shien nodded readily.
“Go ahead.” Shien said softly, “Go and come back quickly.”
Hearing this, Airi snorted again, but nodded.
She didn’t need Shien to tell her; she wanted to return quickly.
At least, she no longer wanted to stay in her territory in the Demon Realm, returning to that cold and lonely castle to sleep.
She had become accustomed to Shien being by her side every day, annoying her, provoking her, not treating her as the lofty leader of the Dragon Race, but as a young girl to be close to.
