A beautiful woman sitting on the throne with hair and eyes as blue as the wide sky, white skin that looked like the color of the snow mountains, two sharp horns, and a large cane in one hand.
The appearance was as if I was watching the Demon Lord Castle, which revealed its noble presence under the huge snow mountains.
She has a slender body, and also a sense of overwhelming power and charisma.
The intense presence still filled the whole Throne room.
And it got worse with every step I took inside the Throne room.
[Yakum's Trust takes effect]
[Resisting unknown force]
[Resisting unknown force]
My head was buzzing with notifications.
A warning signal exploded just by getting close to the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lords head turned slightly.
Her numb blue eyes turned toward .
I felt like the energy that had been pressing was getting stronger.
I confidently responded to her without avoiding my gaze.
Her gaze and my gaze were intertwined in the air.
It was obviously a very short ti, but to , it felt like hours passed by.
After a while, a light flashed in the eyes of the Demon Lord.
"Sihyeon! Sihyeon!"
I heard the voice of Lia calling in a low voice.
At that mont, I ca to my senses and turned my eyes to the side.
Lia and Andras were already kneeling on one knee.
It was only and Kaneff who held their heads up stiffly.
The knights were looking at very fiercely.
I was Surprised and I fell hastily on one knee and bowed my head.
My heart fluttered because I thought I might have made a huge blunder.
Fortunately, Andras imdiately opened his mouth and drew attention.
"Andras Ridnel Schnarpe, the eldest son of the Schnarpe family, greets the guardian of the eternal throne."
"Red Scales Lia greets the ruler of Arkadan."
Thanks to the greetings of the two polite people, the atmosphere cald down a little.
But
"It's been a while."
The atmosphere soon froze in a flash due to Kaneff's absurdly short greeting.
The knights breathed out a ferocious force that seed like they would draw the sword at any mont.
The sharp atmosphere created by Kaneff froze my brain which was thinking of the greeting.
"Uh, my na is Lim Sihyeon from Korea. It's an honor to et you."
Is this all right?
Don't tell Im really going to be hanged.
The voice of the Demon Lord echoed from the high throne, as heard from heaven.
"Everyone, raise your heads."
The three of us slowly raised our heads at her dignified voice.
You ca to see despite the sudden call. I wanted to see you in person every ti I checked your achievents. I'm very happy that my wish ca true today."
Andras and Riane bowed deeply in praise of the achievents.
Kaneff, on the other hand, snapped his mouth as if he didn't like sothing.
He seed to be holding back his words.
The Demon Lord looked at Kaneff for a mont, then turned to Andras and Lia.
"Andras and Lia. You two have struggled from the ti the farm was first built to the present and eventually achieved results. I comnd you for your efforts."
"Its a privilege to hear the praise from the Great Lord."
"I just did what the Great Lord entitled to do. I am happy to lend my hand to the Sun of Arkadan."
The two bowed deeply once again and answered modestly.
The Demon Lord, who nodded with satisfaction, turned to .
Her eyes, as cold and unshakable as an ocean, stared at .
I accepted her gaze as if nothing had happened to .
The Demon Lord looked at for a while without saying a word.
She showed interest as she bends slightly her straight upper body forward.
Then she tilted her head with an expression of complete incomprehension.
"I don't understand. I can't find anything special."
"?"
"It looks like you can't even handle one of the castle guards, but its said you controlled the Yakums, which are said to be the most dangerous creatures of the Demon world. It's unbelievable."
The Demon Lord looked down at and murmured as if she found interesting.
Andras cautiously opened his mouth at her words.
"Great guardian. With all due respect, Sihyeons specialty cannot be explained simply by his visible strength. If it wasnt for him stabilizing the Yakum farm would never have been possible."
"I know the story well. The stable delivery of Yakum's milk to the Castle is nothing short of proving his ability."
The eyes of the Demon Lord turned back to .
Your na is Did you say Lim Sihyeon?
Yes.
"If you don't mind, can you explain to how you tad the yakums?"
I ponder on her question for a mont calmly and brought up an answer
"I'm sorry, but I didn't ta the Yakum."
"Then?"
"I just gained their trust."
"Explain it in more detail."
I rembered the first ti I t Hermosa.
And I slowly began the story of my encounter with the Yakums.
eting Hermosa, rushing to persuade Bighorn, eting the three babies after a hard and dangerous birth.
Finally about Aara and Dora who beca the new family mbers.
I shortened what I had been through at the Demon Farm and told it to the Demon Lord.
A faintly surprising emotion sprang up on her face as she listened to the story.
It was a very surprising story. I never thought there would be soone who could communicate with Yakum like that and your actions in dangerous situations deserve praise!"
"Thank you."
"I couldn't win his. trust."
"?"
The Demon Lord muttered to herself and looked at Kaneff alternately.
"I heard that new yakums have been born on the farm, according to a report sent to the Castle."
"Yes, that's right."
"When I'm not busy, I read the report myself. The latest report is full of words like cute."
Ugh! Did Demon Lord really read my report herself?!
I couldn't even answer properly in embarrassnt and bowed my head.
The rest of the farm mbers looked at with an expression of I told you so'
I have been very confused by your reports that describe Yakum as cute. At first, I misunderstood that since you are from the another world and you might have used the wrong expression."
"Sorry, I'm sorry."
"No. Hmm Co to think of it, I've seen an adult, but I don't think I've ever seen a baby Yakum. I wish I could take a look at the guys you described as cute."
"I."
"."
"May I show you now if you want to?"
The farm mbers already know that I take a lot of pictures of baby yakum.
I take pictures even when theyre just sleeping, I take pictures of them drinking Hap, and I take pictures of them running around.
When I took a really lovely picture, I felt proud of myself and I couldn't express my feelings in words.
However, I always had a regret that I couldn't say it in words.
That's because there aren't many people to brag about even after taking lovely pictures!
I can't keep it as my profile picture, and of course, I can't upload it to SNS.
Sotis I show it to my mother.
But due to embarrassnt, I couldnt talk about baby Yakum's cuteness to my mother.
"This is the picture I took when the first was born."
"Oh"
"Hes this big now, and hes the biggest baby of all, his na is Tanduk. Next to him is the second Kawaii, and this is the youngest Akum."
"Unlike a grown-up yakum, they look so small when they're a baby."
"I'll show you sothing special. This is my favorite picture."
I showed the Demon Lord, the cutest picture I took with a red ribbon tied to Kawaiis hair.
Emotions began to show on the Demon Lords face, which had been expressionless all the ti.
I was just going to show her a picture of baby Yakum, but the Demon Lord showed interest and wanted to see the picture up close.
After showing each picture, hundreds of pictures were shown to the Demon Lord.
"Hmm, do you have any other pictures?"
"I have a video beside this. Shall I show you the video?"
"Video?"
"I'll show you the video of Aara and Dora, who were born recently. Wait a minute."
I excitedly played the video on my phone.
And the Demon Lord looked at it as if she couldn't take her eyes off the screen.
A friendly atmosphere spread around us in the Throne room, while the rest of the Demons looked at us with absurd expressions.
Eventually, the unbearable Kaneff strode to the throne.
He grabbed by the scruff of the neck with a strong touch.
Ugh!
Take it easy, man! Why are you so excited when it cos to the story of Yakum."
I was driven back to my original position by a strong grasp.
This ti the knights responded with relief to Kaneff's outspoken behavior.
The Demon Lord looked a little disappointed.
When a nearby official coughed and evoked the atmosphere, she returned to her original cold expression.
After a mont of clutter in the Throne room, the atmosphere turned solemn again.
"Hmmm I've been acting unsightly for a while. In any case, I would like to express my respect for your achievents and give you an award, worthy of your services."
Everyone except Kaneff bowed at the majestic declaration of the Demon Lord.
She looked completely different from when she saw the cute pictures of baby Yakums.
"Lim Sihyeon. You have been crucial for stabilizing the Yakum farm, and recently youve succeeded in cultivating attractive fruits called strawberries! Co forward to the throne."
I stepped forward from my seat.
The Demon Lord stood up from her throne, and slowly approached .
Between her and , an elderly-looking Knight stood.
"Human from another world, bow down again!"
I knelt down again at the order of the knight.
After a while, I saw the hem of the Demon Lord at the end of my gaze.
"Although you are a stranger from another world, you have been very helpful to the throne. Demon Stones don't seem to compensate for your achievents for the throne. Today, I will reward you once again for your achievent."
A trendous chill ca out of her body.
I couldn't breathe for a mont.
"Lim Sihyeon, take out your sword and bring it forward."
Suddenly, a sword?
I had a question in my head for a mont, but my body was already in a hurry to pull the sword from my waist.
CHAENG
I held up my sword with my hands and made a position as if offering it to the Demon Lord.
A cold air wrapped around my hands, and the sword rose into the air.
The Demon Lord muttered, looking at the sword that rose to her eye level.
"That's a good sword
At that mont the cold energy that was raging around the Demon Lord began to be drawn into the sword constantly.
I knelt down and stared blankly at the figure.
TURRRRRR
A great deal of energy enveloped the sword like a storm, and vibrations continued to flow.
And finally.
FLASH
The sword, which received all the energy, began to emit a subtle glow with a blue light.
The sword in the air slowly landed on my palm.
A pattern that did not exist in the sword before seems to have appeared.
It was the symbol of the Demon Lord.
"Lim Sihyeon! As the guardian of Arkadan, I will give you the status of a noble. The sword in front of you will be a sign. From now on, the honor and glory of the throne that never lts will always be with you.
