Rohrg Ashenfang was a literary genius, well known for his strong command of every subject that was taught in the academy.
And by whatever coincidence it may be, he studied at the sa academy as Seraphyra, Nitherveil Academy.
That was how both Rohrg and Seraphyra got to know each other.
One was a literary genius in the second year of the academy, while the other was the all-round genius of the academy.
However, that was all; they just knew who the other was.
Rohrg, however, knew way more about Seraphyra than she herself knew.
That was the reason why he was there to save Seraphyra, right when she needed to be saved.
Rohrg was a literary genius without a doubt, and it was not because of his regression; it was sothing he had in his last life as well.
But having knowledge amounts to shit in a demon empire where only power rules.
However, because of his strong mory, he rembered the dates of any and every major event that had ever happened in the demon empire of the surrounding empire.
He also knew what Seraphyra was going to face and what she was going to beco, so he had his focus specially focused on her, making it possible for him to save her at the right ti.
Seraphyra was never supposed to face a setback or anything from that event—not at all.
On the other hand, she was supposed to awaken sothing—an ability that would make her realize her real potential—and that would push her forward in her progress.
By saving her, Rohrg achieved three things.
First, the gratitude of the ancestor, who was always keeping an eye on Seraphyra.
Second, an indebted Seraphyra, who would do her best to get rid of the debt that she had on her head.
And finally, the third thing was the fact that he slowed the progress of a monstrous genius like Seraphyra.
No one needed to know about the third, though.
Rohrg was just ensuring that his path to the throne was easier.

Getting a beauty or two along the way was just a plus point.
Seraphyra, who, after being saved by Rohrg, felt grateful yet indebted to him, slowly started to get close to him.
That did bring Rohrg so problems as Seraphyra had way too many suitors, but the way Rohrg ca out as a victor even with the odds being against him only impressed Seraphyra more and more.
That image, however, is shattered now.
Now, Rohrg was nothing but a fool who was asking for death, in her eyes.
That guy went against the only order that the demon lord had issued; if that was not idiotic, then what was?
Seraphyra didn't know the motive behind Rohrg's actions; no one did.
So, for others, he was a total idiot.
"Is that all you wanted to say?"
Alex, who was still hugging Luna while observing Seraphyra's actions, questioned her with a brow raised.
"Ah, no, my lord.
I still have so things left to say."
Seraphyra hurriedly answered Alex, looking away from Rohrg, and Grum, whose heartbeats were rising and relaxing with every turn of events, took a deep breath.
'It's still not over; she has so things left to say.'
For a second, he thought that he will have no other choice than to do what he had made up his mind to do.
But it was not just Grum who was going through an emotional rollercoaster.
The demon generals were the sa.
The matter related to Rohrg and Grum was one thing, but the mont Seraphyra got involved, things changed for them as well.
Now, they were having their breaths stuck the mont the situation tensed.
Then there was Lilia, soone who was in the most miserable situation.
Being as weak as she was, she didn't have the right to voice her opinion since a simple wave of the big wigs that were talking was enough to turn her into a atpaste.
Yet her emotions were the most unstable.
She was a heroine candidate, and fate chose the best path for them to have a happy life.
So right now, the best choice that was made for her was Alex, causing her feelings for Alex to get affected.
Now, she felt that her brother was the one at fault here.
But as her eyes turned toward her brother and her grandfather—who, even now, seed to be struggling to think of a way to save her brother—her feelings would turn complicated.
All of them were, however, ignored by Alex, as his eyes were completely focused on Seraphyra while his attention was on Azaroth's expressions as well, which, for a while, had been unreadable.
"Go on, then."
Alex nodded his head at her words, gesturing for her to continue, and Seraphyra did just that.
"My lord, just like , there would have been thousands, if not millions, of demons all around the empire who would be doubting whether you were worthy or not.
Because of the broadcast, however, they must now be sure that they were going to be ruled over by a worthy lord—soone who is not just soone who got this throne by re luck."
Seraphyra didn't realize that her flow had already broken and that her words were not as impactful as they would've been if spoken all together.
But what could she do? She had to save Rohrg, no matter how much of an idiot she thought him to be.
Yes, she wasn't deluded by the fact that Rohrg was right or sothing.
She knew he was wrong, but she was grateful for his dumbness since all of her words were really sothing she ant.
She really had to change her mind the mont she saw Alex and felt the montum in his every step.
'He is the real emperor.'
That was the only thing going through her head when she gazed at the broadcast and saw Alex.
Everything about him was perfect.
"What do you want from , then?"
Alex tilted his head, wanting for Seraphyra to get to the main point already.
He could already see where this conversation was moving toward, and he could guess what her words would be, so he urged her to move ahead with the conversation.
The readers were now getting bored.
"My lord, I have nothing but one wish from you; please do not punish the person who made it all possible.
For the sake of those thousands or millions of people, who feel grateful for the person who let them get a look at their new demon lord, I implore you to please not put that person to death."
Seraphyra let out her heartfelt words, bowing her head as deep as she could, causing the throne room to get enveloped in a pin-drop silence.
Every pair of eyes turned toward Alex, waiting for his decision.
Alex, on the other hand, kept staring at Seraphyra with a smile, causing the poor to-be antagonist to almost falter under his gaze, but she sohow remained steadfast.
It was not until the clock ticked for ten seconds did Alex's lips moved.
Those ten seconds, however, felt like an eternity for the other people in the hall.
